FROM THE BOYS OVER THERE
Recent Letters Descriptive of Life in the Trenches
in France

following is an extract from letter
OF July % from X. A. Rossmeisl of
Nottingham, who is with the 4lst En-
gineers in France:
saw a man the other day who had
just come down from the front and |
had quite a talk with him. He told
about some of the things that had hap
pened up there and, believe me, it makes
n fellow feel proud to be an American.
For example, you have seen it stated
where one man has captured 20 or so
prisoners single handed We doubted
II somewhat so we asked him if there
was anything to it and he said there
was. He also stated one case where a
young German was taken prisoner and
he was surprised yet pleased to know
he was in Americans hands (he was
told he was fighting the British). He
said if they would let him go a few
minutes he would bring back six more
They accordingly let him go and he
soon returned with six more prisoners.
AS this man had just come from the
front where the drive is now on / asked
If he knew where the division that the
Nottingham boys are in is located He
said: "They are in the fight and fight
ing like the d" That division has
certainly made name for itself and
you people back there in old Whiting
ham-in fact the whole of Vermont
ought to be proud of them. This man
certainly paid them some worthy
tributes and / am sorry | cannot be
with them, but God s will be done, and
I'm glad there's few to keep up the

MAY FIX STANDARD PRICE.
Decision by New Jersey in Dollar
Watch Case.

NEWARK, n. j., Aug 23-The fixing
by manufacturer of standard price for
his product was held to be legal and not
in violation of the Sherman or Clayton
anti-trusts acts in decision handed down
here yesterday by ice-Chancellor Lane
The ruling was in favor of the makers
of a dollar watch who had sued a New.
ark department store to restrain them
from selling the timepieces at less than
the standard price without removing the
trade name or the manufacturer's guar
antee.
Nice-Chancellor Lane said that the Unit
ed States supreme court, in his opinion
has not passed upon the precise situation
presented here" He thus took issue with
a decision of former Justice Hughes or
prioe-fxing and said it was not Offensive
to public policy
The New Jersey jurist holds that the
establishment of a standard price, if the
article contains notice of the conditions
under which it may be sold by the retail
er, is in violation of no statute becaus,
a person has property interest in hi
trade name and good will, and viii. ever
in the absence of the statute, be pro
tected against injury to them.
