JACK OLSEN
CONVICTED

Jack Olsen, known as the Duke
of Ruston," was found guilty by a
jury in Judge Clifford's court Fri
day afternoon on a charge of fell
onious assault on Mrs. Amanda
Lee of Ruston. The jury reached
the verdict on the first ballot.
The penalty Is fixed at not more
than 10 years in the penitentiary,
or fine of not more than $1,000
or both.
The most damaging evidence
against Olsen was the testimony
of DR.. Peterson-Dana who treated
Mrs. Lee after the alleged assault,
and who testified she had been Sc
riously injured.
Olsen admitted meeting Mrs.
Lee at her home on the evening
in question, but said they had only
a friendly tussle."
The defense claimed that the
charges were part Of badger
game" and "frame-up' to press
a 100000 damage suit filed by
Mrs. Lee against Olsen.
A motion for a new trial was
filed Saturday morning by Olsen s
attorneys and will be heard by
Judge Clifford Wednesday morn
ing.

A Discovery
EDITOR THE TINES:

EDITOR THE TINES:
AS | presume that the great wal
will result in victory by the SAM
mics, will hereby take opportun-
lily and notify you that / have
made a remarkable discovery
namely, a substitute for butter and
cheese.
Take equal parts OF potatoes
and apples, and boil in sour milk.
Then add sufficient vinegar and a
little peanut butter, with salt to
suit the taste.
This reminds me Of a dream the
other night. / thought IL men
soldiers-were shaking hands
with me after / had given each
one a smoking pipe for a gift. Sud-
denly William Taft appeared, lift
ing me up On his lap, saying to
me, Those are the men who had
a spade in their hands ready to
work while you were reading the
Declaration of Independence to
them March II, 1917
Then Billy Sunday showed UP
leading Col. Roosevelt, saying to
Taft, accept this man as your
husband and be good to your
boy in New York and San Fran
cisco when he is So years old,
May II, 1918"
This dream means that the
prophecy in the Bible, that the
sword shall be transformed to
spades and hoes, has come to pass
thru the food problem, and the
Sammies will claim victory in the
war. A panic may be prevented.
Truly,

do not doubt that I could get
200 names if l had the time to
attend to it.
At this time of world struggle
between civilization and barbar-
ism, and when our country has
stepped into the breach to make
the world fit for democracy and
wipe autocracy and the murder
spirit from the face OF the earth,
and when the flower of the nation
has been given to that terrible yet
glorious task, shall such beastly
thing as a prize fight be tolerated
on our soil?
1t would be lasting disgrace to
our country.
Let prize fighters and all who
encourage them be sent to the
trenches.
They are not worthy to asso-
ciate with the standard-bearers of
the New Civilization; the f0unda-
tion of which is being laid here
in this land.
All true Americans will respond
to this sentiment.

An Injustice
EDITOR THE TIMES :

EDlIOR The TIMES:
Being booster of The Times,
which. to my opinion, is the liv-
est paper in the city, I wish to
ask you to answer the following
question.
Why is it that the Jewish peo-
pie are never given credit for the
great men they have produced,
but are always given credit for
the bad men amongst them?
Mischa Elman, the great Jewish
violinist, is called a Russian; but
when Jew gets in wrong, you
don't call him a Russian; you
come out with big, glazing Jew.
We are not living in the dark
ages. We are living in the goth
century in the most civilized and
liberal country on earth. You
claim to be a leader. would
therefore like to see this organ
lead in a movement to right this
wrong against the Jewish race.

work of the Italian fleet in the
Adriatic with battleship, submar-
inc and minesweeper.
Prof. Clark has come to
America on leave of absence to
tour in aid of a fund for Italian
blind and MANNED soldiers. He
speaks with the official approval
of the Italian government.
He gives the underlying rea-
sons for the recent Italian re-
treat, citing the experiences of
Italy at the hands of German
propagandists, who controlled
newspapers, banking institutions,
commercial enterprises and poll
tics.
The resultant shakeup in cabi-
net and war council has given a
new stability to the government,
which now has the trust and de-
voted loyalty of the people.

Has Great War Pictures
From the Italian Front

"Italy's Part in the War" will
be the subject of an address to
be given by Prof. Charles Epson
Clark of the American academy
in Rome at the Tacoma Public
Forum in the First Congrega-
tional church Sunday evening.
Prof. Clark is probably in a
better position to talk on this
subject than any other public
speaker today. The Italian gov
eminent gave him permission to
visit the battle fronts-Goritz,
Monfalcono, the Carso, the
Bainsizza plateau, the Zagram
pass opposite Monte Nero, and
other points on the lsonzo front,
the Aziago plateau and on the
Trentino front, and Venice.
The Italian government also
lent Prof. Clark every aid in
securing some of the most re-
markable motion pictures that
the war has brought forth-pic-
lures so hazardous to take that
they cost the lives of four mo-
ton picture operators. For the
italian soldier has done most of
his fighting above the clouds, in
the snow defiles of the Alps, en-
failing the most difficult and
perilous feats of engineering on
the part Of the army engineers.
Prof. Clark's story is anthem
tic and covers the fighting both
on land and on sea. His pictures
show the use of the Italian aero
planes and dirigibles and the

1t was a fine, bright afternoon,
and numerous air battles were go
ing on over No Mans Land.
The German machines were try
ing to direct the fire of their ar
tillery on some American field
pieces they believed to be hidden
JUS outside our village. Within
an hour they had put over some
500 shells.
Hundreds OF American and
French soldiers, consumed with
curiosity, gathered at the edge OF
the village and watched the Ger
man fire.
They could be easily seen by
the German airplanes overhead.
Hit by Shrapnel

Pearly Gates suddenly loom uI

In my particular dugout there
gathered some 20 or 25 enlisted
men and officers, and, while the
German shells screeched and ex-
ploded outside during a lombard
ment of the village that lasted 81
minutes, conversation ran chiefly
to rather technical discussion as
to the ability of the dugout to
Withstand any direct hits.
One pessimist said:
This dugout isn't worth a hang
against one of those German 210
shells. They would go thru this
as v it were an egg she'll"
Then an engineer lieutenant got
the floor and in the darkness said /:

talking about. We've tested out a

but a German 400 can crack H.;

go any further with this discus
sion. ! think We all agree with
our engineer friend. Anyway

to hear just now"
When the bombardment ceased,
everybody came out of the dug
outs and strolled out to look over
the damage. A number of houses
that were already partial ruins
from French troop occupation
days had been hit again. The
total casualties we're light. The
village streets were sprinkled
with shrapnel.
And now we're all pulling for a
reprisal bombardment on a village
