MANY PENALTIES IMPOSED BY FOOD
 ADMINISTRATION

More than 800 penalties for viola tion of rules and regulations governing licensed dealers in foodstuffs have been imposed during the past 10 months by the Food Administration. About 150 companies and individuals have been ordered to quit business in licensed commodities for limited or unlimited period, and over 500 have voluntarily made a money payment, usually to the Red Cross, or have temporarily abstained from doing business, rather than risk calling down more drastic penalties upon their heads.
 A vast number of other cases have been disposed of by Federal food ad- ministrators in the various States and Territories under the authority of. but without specific appeal to, headquar- ters at Washington. In a large num- Der of other cases the desired compli- ance has been secured without penal ty. More than 2.500 cases arising out of the shipment of foods and feeds, many Of them perishable, have been disposed of.
 Penalties inflicted from the passage of the food-control act, August 10. 1917, to June 1, 1918, may be sum marked as follows:
 Unlimited revocations of license, re- quiring the licensee to abstain from business in all, or in specified, lcensed commodities until further notice, 65, of which 56 are outstanding.
 Limited revocations, requiring li-
  or in specified, licensed commodities for definite period, 62, of which 19 are outstanding.
 Unlimited unfair orders, directing liceHsees until further notice not to sell any, or specified, licensed com modities to unlicensed dealers who have engaged in unfair or wasteful practices, 8, of which 8 are outstand- ing.
 Limited unfair orders, of the same effect as those last mentioned except ing that the prohibition is for a limited period only, 12, of which are out standing.
 Refunds and contributions, consist ing of money payments voluntarily made in place of more drastic formal penalties of the above nature, 131.
 Temporary suspensions and minor penalties, voluntarily accepted in place of more drastic formal penalties of the above nature, about 375. Acquisitions and forced sales, con- l sisting of food commodities disposed of without resort to drastic formal pen alties for hoarding, 24

'TEUT0N LOSSES ARE SET l
 AT 100, 900 IN BIG DRIVE
SIDE LIGHTS ON CHARACTER OF
 GEN. PERSH|NC

Fl Paso, Texts, July 17-Americans who accompanied General Pershing to Mexico in the various civilian capaci- ties never tire of talking of the little sidelights on the character of the gen. eral commanding the American forces in France, as shown to them while he was in the desert of western Chihua- hua.
 ''I saw a better character sketch of General Pershing than any of the writers can picture,'' said one cattle man here. "He squatted in front of camp fire at San Geronimo, frying his hard-tack in the bacon grease of his mess pan, with the wind blowing sand into his face and food and the General grinning good naturedly all the time as one of our cowpuncher scouts spun a yarn about buffalo hunt he was on in the Little Canadian up in the Panhandle"
 These men tell many incidents of General Pershing's stay on the border and in Mexico as illustrations of his regard for his men and for the service. On an inspection trip from Nami- quipa to Colonia Dub1an he saw mule driver beating his team because they would not pull an overloaded wagon out of a rut. Jumping from his auto mobile, General Pershing lectured the mule driver, forced him to tighten his l load, deftly swung the team around and drove the wagon onto the high road.
 Again he reprimanded a colonel who forced his men to march all day with 50 pound field pack when empty motor trucks were passing all day en route to the same destination. l An American soldier will fight harder, live on less food and accept more hardships than any other soldier ] in the world" General Pershing said in commenting upon the incident. But he can see no reason why his pack should not be hauled in empty trucks if trucks are passing. Neither do I"
 A camp sutler at Colonia Dublan smuggled in an automobile load of l bad whiskey. After disposing of his stock, the man appeared at General Pershings headquarters to ask for a pass back to the border. He got the pass as a free ride as a prisoner and was forced to dig latines and repair roads en route.
 The announcement that General Pershing had adopted two French or phans recalled flood of tender mem ories to friends of General Pershine on the border for it was while he wa. in command here that his wife ant two children were burned to death a DTac iro eral Pershing's hair, chestnut brown slowly turned to gray after his loss and he could be seen frequently riding on the mesa beyond Fort Bliss alone with his great grief.

MAN IS
 SHOOTING VICTIM

Litchfield, July 17-George John son. who lived in Morris, close by Bantam Lake, died at the house of Robert Wellman in Bantam during last night from a gunshot wound. The conditions indicate a homicide and Capt. Robert Hurley of the state po- lice was called upon to investigate. Coronor Herman came from Winsted and Sheriff Burlington, whose home is here, made a preliminary inquiry. Wellman is bachelor, middle aged and lives in a house close by the lake. He told the coroner that Johnson was at the house early last night and left to go home. About 10 o'clock he staggered in again and said he had been shot. Death came some time later.
 An autopsy was ordered by Coron- CT Herman.

His machine fell into the enemy lines.
 Philip Roosevelt, Quentins cousin, witnessed the air battle in the vicinity of Chateau Thierry, in which Quentin was engaged, and saw the machine fall, but did not know until later that the aeroplane was that of his cou- sin. Lieut.. Roosevelt was last seen in combat on Sunday morning with two enemy aeroplanes about 10 miles in- side the German lines in the Chateau Thierry sector. He started out with a patrol of 13 American machines They encountered seven Germans and were chasing them back when two of the Huns turned on Lieut.. Roosevelt.
 Reports of the fight say the Ger mans appeared to be shooting at the lieutenant from the rear. The three machines were close together. Then one of the machines was seen tum- bling through the clouds and a pa trol which went in search of Lieut.. Roosevelt returned without trace of him. He appeared to be fighting up to the last moment.
 One account of the combat says the machine caught fire before it be- gan to fall.

A dispatch received in London on Monday from Moscow by way of Am esterdam reported American and Brit ish troops had occupied the entire Murman coast in northern Russia. An earlier dispatch on the same date said the Russian foreign office has sent to Great Britain a demand that British detachments on the Murman coast be re-embarked without delay. l. The Allied troops on the Murman coast are there at the express request of the Russian citizens there. The local population has been aiding the troops in defending the iee free har-
 bors and the railroad running south toward Petrograd. German and Fin nish forces have been reported to be threatening the Murman railroad near Rem.
