UNIVERSAL DAMAGE SUIT.

George w. Hall filed petition in
Shelby Circuit Court against Jessie
Harry, containing allegations form
ing the basis of an unusual action
for damages. Hall. who asks $500
in lieu of damages, says that while
he was minor he entered into a
contract with Harry to grow tobacco
on the shares. He says he entered
upon the performance of his con-
tract in good faith, but that the de-
PENDANT, with the alleged intention
of defrauding him, represented to
him that he was in danger of arrest
by the Federal authorities on a
charge of draft evasion in failing to
register for military service. Plain
tiff claims Harry offered him $3.50
for his share in the crop, which he
declined, but later accepted when he
found himself unable to market his
interest. He claims his share Of
the crop was worth $500 and asks
judgment for $500.

HOLD ON THIS WINTER ~ He added that the enemy suffered a singing blow since last July and that at the present time it seems that he will not be able to remain south of the Hindenburg line, where, prob- ably, he will endeavor to maintain position this winter--a season during which 1t will be hard t6 conduct Jig operation against him, since the con- dition of the roads then will make it impossible for the allies to transport the supplies which they will need for such an offensive
 He expressed the belief, however. that the tide has definitely turned in favor of the allies, due to the fact that America has exceeded her promise insofar as the number of her men here are concerned.
 In their retreat northward the Ger mans are adhering strictly to their policy of killing as many as possible of the allied troops. and at the same time suffer the fewest number to their own troops Their Resistance south of the Aisne was composed mainly of artillery and machine guns. with n few ,of their best troops placed in charge of the latter.
 These enemy machine gunners
 were told to stand by their guns
 nnd to fire until they were killed.
 Most of them obeyed this, although
 some of them surrendered.
