CHARGED WITH
 BLOCKING TRAFFIC

Charged with obstructing traffic at Main street and Fairfield avenue, Jos- eph Ginsberg. a jitney driver, was fined $1 in the City Court today by Judge Bartlett. An appeal was en- tered under bonds of $25, and At torney Irving Bison announced his intention of prosecuting the case to the highest court to determine once for all whether the traffic rules of the Police Department have the forca of law.
 Under the rules of the department jitneys are not allowed to stop at Main street and Fairfield avenue to discharge or take on passengers be- cause of the delay occasioned. Many of the drivers deliberately disobey the order, while others evade it So far as possible and 1t is contended the police have no right to enforce the rule.
 If the appeal taken in this case is carried to it's conclusion of law points 1t will determine the right of the police to enforce the order.

). W. HOPE NOW LOCATED IN A
 PRISON CAMP

Two letters and two post cards have been received by the parents of Pri- vate James William Hope, 1,S49 Fair field avenue, after several months of anxiety regarding the welfare of the young man. Private Hope was well known among the young people of the city. He was born here, attended the Sacred Heart school, the local High school, and at the time of his enlist .ment was attending the University of Pennsylvania. He joined the anbu- lance unit and trained at the Allen town, Pa, camp. Going to France with his unit in August, 1917, he was attached to the French Army.
 On June of this year the town in which they were operating was gassed and attacked by the Germans. When the unit was reassembled three men were found missing, one of them Pri- vate Hope. A month ago the Red Cross reported to his parents that he was a prisoner at Baden, but the War Department reported yesterday that he was at Camp Stendal, Germany His mother received a post card yes- terday which he had written himself dated September 22 It was one of the regular cards issued to prisoners, and merely stated that he was well.
 Two letters and a card came this morning, however, which bore a Ger man post mark of November 20. Fri vate Hope stated that he now had plenty of food as the Red Cross were looking after the prisoners in his camp. Owing to the severe censor ship which was exercised by the Ger mans, very little information was given, but he stated that he hoped to be home soon.

sional relief from the bangs of hunger
 Tens of thousands of people die an- uually from starvation. Mothers in the poorer sections of every town and village destroy female babies because they are unable to feed them. Some times the parents sell them into
 slavery or dishonor. In times of drought and famine regular traffic is conducted in children generally by boat along the canals and rivers. The price goes at times as low as 25 cents for a healthy child, nothing being paid for a stckly one. Under ordinary conditions a strong young girl will bring anywhere from $1O to $100 or more. In ordinary times a regular practice of stealing children prevails in some regions. They are conveyed, generally in boats, to the large cities and sold privately.-Frederick Moore in the Worlds Work" for December.

Judge Case Lenient
 In Superior Court

James Abbott and Roland Gamby, although they pleaded to a charge of automobile theft, stated before Judge Wm. A. Case in the Criminal Superior court this morning that they had no intention of stealing the auto they took from a local garage, but intend ed to take a trip South and then ship the car back. On the ground that they had also partaken of an exces- sive amount of liquor before setting out on their trip, explaining their somewhat distant destination, they were sentenced to 10 months in the county jail.
 Charles H. Smith, of this city, an employe at one of the offices at the Adams Express company, pleaded guilty to a charge of embezzlement and was sentenced to one year in jail but Judge Case changed the sentence and put him on probation. Smith de- clared that he was broke" and that he simply borrowed the money. He said that he had made arrangements with MT. Driver of the firm to pay the money back in installments, but MT. Driver would not listen and had him brought to justice.
