AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS IN
FRANCE, Dec. 25-(By Courier to
Nancy A vast sea of tin hats,
wave on wave, swept before Presi-
dent Wilson today as he reviewed
5000 American troops at Langres.
He told the soldiers they would
get the kind of peace they fought
for: that everybody at home Was
proud of them, just waiting the
chance to acclaim them as conquer
ing heroes on their return.
The 5000 who marched for the
president across muddy field were
representative of many divisions. 1t

most dramatic in history, when the

While, the bands switched to the
Stars and Stripes Forever, the presi-

stood stiff1y at attention. The king
and President Wilson engaged in a
lively talk as they walked, but the
music drowned out their voices.

Washington bill intended to
protect war material and war trans
portation facilities, just passed by
congress, does not class strikes to
improve working conditions as a con
spiracy against the government.
This legislation is known as the
sabotage" act. It's authors intended
to reach enemy agents and others who
would destroy property or who would
to hamper the prosecution of the war
by interfering with production.
The bill passed the senate several
months ago When it was being con-
sidered by the house, few weeks ago,
Congressman Joe Cannon secured the
adoption of a so-called anti-conspir-
acy amendment. Congressman Lunn
moved an amendment that this should
not apply to working men who agreed
to stop work 'for the bona fide pur-
pose of securing better wages or con-
ditions of employment.
| The senate refused to accept its
bill as amended -or rather the Lonn
portion of it-and by vote of 81 to
25, struck out all reference to labor's
right to strike, no matter how great
the provocation. The Cannon amend
ment was accepted by the senate.

The Insurance Companies attacked
the provision as unconstitutional on
the ground that it violates the obliga-

The Insurance Companies on Mon

them to file plea in error in the

by the attorneys for the State and

Following the usual custom of the

me that this contest will furnish to
hundreds of thousands of Ohio school
children the medium through which
they may interest other hundreds of
thousands of their adult friends in
the governments War Savings plan.
1t will also have the highly salutary
effect of instilling into the minds of
participating boys and girls the inn
portance of practicing personal econ
omies, resulting in the acquisition Of
sound habits of thrift, self-discipline,
self control and self-respect.
''As satisfactory means of launch
ing and presenting the Vacation
Thrift Contest, it is advisable that
every school in the state should de-
vote at least an hour on May l to a
thorough consideration of the contest
plans and preparations for entering
actively and intensively into the pro-
ject. At that time, community exer-
cises should be conducted to which
parents of the boy or girl pupils
should be invited, so that they may be

Judge Evans, in the Franklin
County Common Pleas Court, on Tues

sion, which was granted on Dec. Ia,
1917, on the plea of the Liability

attorneys, Judson Harmon and Arthur

The suit was conducted for the

Davis, ,Jr., for the Attorney General
by Mr. William J. Ford, and for the
Ohio State Federation of Labor by
Messrs. Timothy S. Hogan and Judge
George B. Okey.
The action of Judge Evans marks
another step toward the absolute
elimination of the insurance COM
panies from the Workmen's Compen-

that the act passed by the last Gen
eral Assembly providing that self
