 Ambassador Jusserand of France, in a statement issued tonight had this to say of the food pledge campaign:
 Nothing can more deeply touch the heart of France than the thought that thousands of miles away. of their own accord. obeying the free impulse of their kind thoughts. the American al lies of former days and of today are keeping a severe watch on their food consumption so that invaded France and those leagued with her for a sac red cause may not suffer from want and may the better push back bar barrie enemy to where he belongs"

WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-Scattering returns on the result of the first days campaign for food pledge cards indi- cate that the hopes of the food admin istration for a huge enrolment of the American families in a food conserva- tion army will be realized. Few fig ures are available but messages came during the day from all parts of the nation telling of enthusiastic and sue cessful launching of house to house canvasses.
 Iowa officially reported 72,000 pledge cards signed during the day with many sections still to be heard from, due to the snow and the fact that a large part of the population is scattered in remote communities which render ac- curate daily reports impossible. Many workers are riding through the country districts on horseback calling out the cause of food conservation. Indiana, the only other state to make an official

 l MILLION |S
 SUM C0CH|SE. COUNTY GAVE. TO THE CAUSE.
Quota From This Region Is Raised Above the Greatest Expectations. Entire Coun- try Oversubscribes the Max imum.

Three million dollars, nearly PTS per cent of Cochise county's origi- nal quota, was raised for the sec ond Liberty Loan. according to an announcement made last evening by County Sales Manager J. N. Gaines.
 Additional subscriptions to the loan poured in from every part of the county, as we'll as from Doug las and the Warren district. At about 7:30 o'clock Gaines said the county's subscriptions were about s6000 short of s3,oO0.O00. Within fifteen minutes the S6000 neces- sary had been reported.
 The quota for the county was s1,11S,271. The actual subscrip- tions indicate the caliber of the people of this region and the work done to accomplish the result.
 When the campaign started in Cochise county" said Gaines last evening, q felt confident that our quota would be bettered. l did not think, however. that the sum would reach the proportions it has. The result points to the ster- ling patriotism of the people of Cochise county and alsp to the wonderful work of the campaign committee. I would like to thank every man and women in the coun- ty who has made the result pos sible."

WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-Liberty loan tabulations were at a standstill at the treasury tonight, awaiting fur ther reports from the federal reserve banks On the basis of estimates al ready in hand officials are confident that the flood of subscriptions during the closing hours of the campaign Sat urday carried the loan well beyond the s5,O00. .000, 900 mark, but virtually no figures were received today on which to base an accurate estimate of the grand total.
 The treasury has decided to make no further announcements until No vember 1, Thursday. by which time the reserve banks are expected to have their reports somewhere near final shape. After day of rest yes terday the banks officers and em- ployes devoted themselves to tabufat- ing results today and most of them did not even communicate with Wash ington.
 Thursday is the last day on which subscription agencies, including 26.000 banks. can make their returns to the federal reserve banks.

GLOBE. Oct 29.-Rumors that a second strike is to be called in the Globe-Miami district have been cir culated here and at Jerome for the last few days. These rumors are discredited and are believed to be the work of disgruntled strikers who were barred from returning to work under the order o. the indus trial commission. headed by Secre- ary of Labor Wilson. which ruled that any persons guilty of disloyal utterances must be excluded from the mines.
 There is no possibility of an. other strike during the period of the war. The federal commission distinctly ordered that no further strikes be permitted.

 The Austro-German offensive on the Italian front develops with dis quieting energy. The enemy's forces. descending in the valleys that con- verge on Azzida. have reached Civi- dale. All the Italian forces on the plateau of Bainsizza and on the Carso as far ss the sea. menaced with en- velopment. have been obliged to evaeu- ate the regions that they were at SO much pains to conquer.

FIRST GERMAN CAPTURED BY

Huns Opposing Americans in Trenches Did Not Know That Sammies Were There. Prisoner Dies in Hospital.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FANCE, Oct. 29.-(By The Associated Press)-The first German prisoner of war taken by the American expedition ary forces died today in an American field hospital. having been shot when he encountered an American patrol in No Mans Land in front of the Ameri- can trenches.
 He. with another German, was dis covered Saturday night by the patrol and was called upon to halt The Ger mans ran; the patrol fired and one of the enemy was hit. The prisoner was removed to a field hospital where the combined efforts of several surgeons failed to save his life.
 The prisoner was mail carrier and letters of some value were found on him. He explained his presence near the American trenches saying he had lost his way in the dark. He declared that the German soldiers did not know that Americans were on the front or in France, the officers telling them noth- ing.
 The prisoner talked freely after reaching the hospital. He was a blonde youth. From his cot he said in German:
 "I was going from our trenches with the mail, following another man in the dark. We kept turning to the left when We should have kept turn ing to the right and as a result en- countered the patrol, The soldiers did not know you Americans are here. but the officers probably do. They tell us nothing.
 "The German soldiers in the ranks are tired of the war and want it to end, but the officers want it to con tinue, as they are we'll paid. Our food is godo, but we know nothing of conditions in the interior of Ger many. Sometimes no mail is permit ted to reach us for eight weeks at a time"
 The American doctor who operated said the prisoner was very game, de- spite his painful wound.
 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Oct 29 (By the Associated Press) batteries are con tinuing to shell the German lines at regular intervals. The enemy are fol- lowing similar tactics. No further of ficial communication has been issued. but there has been no special in fantry activity.

Food Administrator Works Out System Whereby Un- der Profits Will Be Made Impossible Throughout the Country.
(By Review Leased wire.)

WASHINGTON, Oct 29.-Profiteer- ing by re ,ail dealers in food stuff will be made impossible after November 1st, the food administration announc- ed tonight under plan to cut off sup plies to those not satisfied with reason ble margins. Manufacturers, wLole- salers and other handlers of food, whose businesses will go under license will not be permitted to sell to dis tributors who seek undue profits.
 This is one of the most sweeping safeguards" the announcement said. against high prices which will be in corporated in the licensing system for which complete rules and regulations will be made known within a few days"
 Control Sought.
 This plan, food admins ration offici- als believe, will give the government entire control of retail prices Whole salers and others who. continue to sell to retailers after they are forbidden to do so by the food administration will be denied the right to sell goods under license
 Authority for extending control to the retailer is cited in the announce ment as follows:
 'The small retailers of food. of whom there are several hundred thous- and in the country while exempt from the licensing pIpvisions are neyerthe- less subject to other provisions of the food control act. Every re .ailer as we'll as every other handler of food. is forbidden under the law to make any unreasonable charge, to hoard, to monopolize, waste or destroy food, or to conspire with any one to restrict the production, distribution of supply, or exact excessive prices on any neces- sites. There are no penalties provid- ed, but the food administration hopes that the arrangement of restricting supplies to violators of the law will be of some effect, for the retailer will find himself unable to buy goods from any wholesaler or manufacturer"
 States To Watch.
 Federal food administrators in all the states will be directed to keep watch for violators and send to the food administration the names of re- tailers asking excessive prices.
 The food administration" the an- nouncement says. does not intend to disturb any legitimate operations and will initiate measures only against hardened and persistent violators of the law. It takes the position that the great majority of food sellers, retail as well as wholesale, are patriotic and honest. and are making every effort to comply with good business princi- pies and sell to the consumer at the lowest possible prices. Such dealers will be in fact protected from illegi- innate competition. Those few who persist in abusing their opponents and continue to take advantage of the emergency caused by the war will re- ceive attention"
