Prosecution of
English Food
Law Violators

Profiteers, hoarders, and others
who violate the law are dealt with in
severe manner by the English
food authorities. The following pro-
secutions, which have been selected
at random from long list in the
National Food Journal, issued by
the English ministry of food, show
the drastic methods of dealing with
those who have only selfish ends in
view:
Morris Cash, of Thames, sum-
moned for selling margarine above
the maximum price, was sentenced
to prison for six weeks and fined
$3.50 and costs. This action was
taken as a result fhis rely to a
complaint that was made: 1T is

tradesmen were simply trustees of
public property.

Yankees Have War
Orphan AS Mascot

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
AT THE FRONT Out in G COM
pany of certain American regiment
the boys claim they have the best
mascot in the war. He is not dog
and his name is not "Pinard''
French slang for wine) or Frontage
(cheese) as is often the case with
mascots on the French front.
He is live French youngster, an
orphan of the war, and the boys Of
G company call him Bud This
little round-faced and usually dirty
French boy is soldier thru and
thru. Tho less than twelve years
old he has had experience equal to
those Of vererans, and he can shoot
like backwoodsman.
Bud" adopted c company before
the company could adopt him. He
came crawling out of No Mans Land
one day when the company was in
the front line trenches, and tho they
thought he was Boche, no one had
the heart to trtat him as a prisoner.
So they fed the thin, wan little fell
low, and with the help of an inter-
prefer learned he was French. All
members of his family were killed
early in the war in bombardment
Of the little village he lived in, and
Bud was an orphan.
He escaped to the French lines,
poined French company, and was
taken prisoner by the Germans in a
raid. After two years with the Ger
mans, Bud escaped, and crawling
thru the Boche barbed wires, and
No Mans Land under the cover of
darkness, Bud found Americans,
where his French company used to
be. He insisted on staying.
G company was willing. The
Americans soon found a gun for him,
and clothes. The boys Of G company

Captives Tell the Story
Of Hun Weakening
Number of Prisoners
Taken Strongly Indie
alive of Breaking of
Morale.

NEW YORK-A decline in the
morale Of the German troops is
strongly suggested by the large num-
bers of prisoners that are falling
into the hands of the allies as the re-
suit of minor operations.
The French captured more than
1900 prisoners in an attack July 3
east of Compiegne, the Americans
took more than 500 prisoners at
Vaux, and the British captured over
400 Germans week ago east of
Nieppe forest. In addition, there
have been a number of very recent
bags of 100 to 200 captives. 1t
is now usual in fact for the allies to
pick up prisoners almost at will.
Resistance lowered
The Germans are showing less
powers of resistance by these sur
renders than at any time since Won
Hindenburg's spring offensive began.
This does not mean that General
Foch would be justified at the pre-
sent moment in engaging in major
offensive, before America is fully
prepared to participate. The grow
ing tendency to cry "kamerad" on
the part of the Germans, however,
is a good augury for the future. 1t
indicates that in defensive warfare
the newer units of Hindenburg's
army are not standing u pwith the
same stubbornness as did the older
divisions.
Men War-Weary
War WEAKNESS seems to be creep
ing into the German ranks. This
would be natural result of the fail
ure of Won Hindenburg to gain any
decisive objective following. the fer
ocious exposure Of his troops to
slaughter. Won Kuehlmann's recent
utterance that peace cannot be won
on the battle field may very well also
be responsible for the decline in the
German morale. @#
The surrender of Germans by the
hundreds in local operations means
beyond all doubt that once the allies
begin their own offensive on major
scale,e the Germans capitulations
will grow to an unprecedented scale.
Cutters!
It has always been the belief of
students of German psychology that
once the German army became con-
WINGED it could not win the war, its
fighting efficiency would sink under
the dependency Of defensive COM
bats. .8Ft
There is reason to believe the
army has begun to suspect Won Hin
denburg's failure. fHA & a.r.

A Great Day
When Boys Get
Croix de Guerre
Stirring Account
Given by Man
Who Was There

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
AT THE FRONT.-'Your blood just
wouldn't keep quiet in your veins
as you stood on that hill and watched
the boys marching by in waves with
the band playing good old American
music and the Stars and Stripes wav-
ing over them. Believe me, it's the
best flag in this world boys. 1 don't
know why, but my throat was throb.
bling and l felt like bawling.'
These spontaneous words of SOL
der as he told his mess-mates of the
citation by the French army of the
104th regiment and 1920 Mas
sachusetts men for their bravery in
repelling the Germans in Apremont
woods are too vivid to be lost. He
was Massachusetts man too, from
another regiment, and he had been
privileged to watch the croix de
guerre ceremony. Imagine yourself
on the crest of a hillside slope sur
rouded by woods and listen to his
story.
Bands Play-Cannon B0Oms
''The band struck up with real
music and led the boys to the field.
They'd just formed three sides of a
square, and the fellows who were
to get the croix de guerre lined up
across the open space in it, when
Heinie let's go over Siechepry way
with lot of his heavies. Course
we didn't get anything but the BOOM
ing. 1t mixed we'll with the band,
especially when our fellows slammed
them back two and three to Heinie's
one.
"They didn't slow up the doings a
bit, and it made 'em all the more APP
propriate. They played the Star
Spangled Banner and Marseillaise,
and then the French general goes
down the line pinning the little green
ribbon and the cross on each fellow.
Gosh, the way their chests stuck out.
And l don't blame them. Who
wouldn't like one of those crosses!
"But I'd rather fight two Heinies
single handed than stand in he line.
l guess lot of those boys would
rather do it, too. One fellow tainted

never phased him, but he couldn't
face this.
"Our general went along too and
shook hands with each man, and told
him something. l asked one chap
what the general told him and it was
Cheer up, it's nothing against you!'
Most of the boys needed that kind of
advice, for they took it awfully seri-
ously, even the two chaplains who
were decorated for carrying fellows
in under hell-fire.
Parade Follows
after the crosses were all pinned
up, the general with their stats and
the boys with the croix de guerre on
them went up on the hill top to
watch the regimental drill. Those
boys pulled off proud parade, too,
on that hillside. They loked just
like waves going across the hillside,
for the old khaki made the COM
panies blend into the color of the
woods and the ground. And last
came the machine gun companies,
with mules pulling their carts just
as proud as the rest of them.
"They had the new Massachusetts,
flag which Just came out there and
with the old Star Spangled Banner,

and great day for Massachusetts.

AMERICANS ON
THE SEA SHOW
GREAT VALOR
DARING EXPLOITS RECORDED OF MEN
WHO PROTECT THE TRANSPORTS

LONDON.-Daring exploits, re
miniscent of the days of Paul Jones
and the heroic strategy of Richard
Pearson Hobson, are being carried
out day after day and week after
week in European waters by various
units of the American naval contin.
gent.
Official records of these exploits
by the United States submarines, ny.
dr0planes and destroyers are on file
at the United States naval head quar-.
ters here. They amplify the state.
ments to the International News
Service of Sir Rosslyn Wemyss, first
sea lord of the British admiralty
and Admiral Sims, commanding the
American naval units in European
waters, that the United States is
playing it's part in keeping the sea
lanes safe for American transports
and the supply ships.
The records also show how the u
boats are being overcome and con-
tain innumerable references to per-
sonal valor and sacrifice of Ameri-
cans in the sea service.
Obviously, it is not possible to re-
veal the names, dates nor the exact
circumstances of unusual bravery or
success by the American units. But
a general survey of the official re-
ports show that heroic endurance, in
itiative in fighting and constant
alertness to danger are some of the
factors that the U-boat pirates have
to reckon with since America got
into the war.
All of the youth and vigor and zest
of college football payer, coupled
United States naval experts is mani
fest in that which American units
are accomplishing in conjunction
with the British.
The records are all the more not
able when It'll s remembered that they
were accomplished in some instances
by American youths with only brief
training and no direct inheritance
from sea service.
An instance of how American SUBJ
marines are playing their part in the
great struggle is paraphased from
the official account:
Just before daybreak, when
cruising in midocean the captain of
an American submarine sighted a
U-boat. A torpedo was launched,
but it jumped about ten yards to the
left on leaving the tube before bee
lining for the U-boat. The torpedo
passed about four yards under the
Uboat. The American craft kept
straight ahead, intending to ram the
Hun, but the enemy dived.

ported the American captain.
ut was too dark for us to use the
periscope. We traced her for half
an hour and then lost the trace and
came to the surface"
While the German submarine es
capped, its main purpose was defeated
for it was on the point of attacking
a convoy. Two hours later the Ger
man appeared, evidently intending
to torpedo some of the convoy. But
again 1t was frustrated, for the
American submarine was between
the enemy and the destroyers. The
American submerged, then rose for
periscope observation, but the U-boat
had disappeared, the American cap
tain reported.
Thus again, the enemy, lurking in
the sea lanes to do it's worst, was out
