L|MEY CEMETERY
t.v noss,se JOURNAL srre,.L lsAssD wrssi

With the American Army in Lor-
raine, Sept. 20 (by the Associated
Press.) i'm a cemetery near Limey,
just within the German lines previous
to the attack of September IL, Ameri-
can troops have discovered German
machine gun nests beneath the con
crete pedestal of large cross. The
Germans had dug in along the center
of the foundation and constructed ma
chine gun positions at three places
facing toward the French lines. The
cemetery is on q hill commanding a
view of the country Of the south, and
the Germans assumed that if an at
tack were made the cemetery would
not be subjected to artillery fire.
When the Franco German offensive
started the Germans held the machine
gun nests in the cemetery as long as
possible, but were compelled to retreat
in haste before they could use their
guns. So hurried was the enemy re-
tirement that several machine guns
were found in the cemetery by the
Americans. The cemetery was not hit
and the cross still stands.

public letter to Senator King. chair.
4 man of the senate subcommittee on
| the judiciary In which he frankly
and freely confessed" that the asso-
funds to finance the purchase Of the
| Washington Times
| lie further admitted that the asso-
citation and the brewing interests gen
orally, have maintained lobbyists at
washington and in various state cap
itals whose business it was to try,
where possible, to protect MS and
eheckmate those representing the up-
position to our industry"
He vigorously denied charges Of dis
loyalty or pro-Germanism, both per-
sonally and on behalf of the associa-
ton and asked that he be permitted
to appear before the subcommittee
for Questioning without limit" on all
the charges involved in the communi-
cation regarding the purchase Of the
Washington Times sent to Senator
King by A. Mitchell Palmer, alien
property custodian.
HOHNN NpFHl LOT I@rOtectlOn.
Declaring that for the last twenty
five years an organization has existed
with the avowed purpose of utterly de-
stroying the brewery industry. and
has spent dollars where we have
been able to spend pennies" Mr..
Feigenspan frankly confessed" that
the brewing industry generally, "in
common with every other husiess, eV-
cry other organization and evory 9th
er industry in the nation affected by
local, state or national legislation has
been represented ut these legislative
centers by gentlemen, usually law
yers of recognized ability and un-
questioned integrity but commonly re-
ferred to as lobbyists, whose business
1t was to try, whore possible to prn-
tect MS and checkmate those repre-
senting the opposition to our indus
try"
lie further frankly and freely ad-
mtted' that the brewers Gin common
with every other industry and every
other business in the country have
tried to get before the public every
fact that we felt fairly favored the
preservation of our business. even 10
the extent of supplying the finances
for the initial payment on the pur-
chase Of the Washington Times"
DisIoyalty Charge Tnsnlt.
He said the attempt through innI-
endo" to associate the times transac-
ton with certain notorious pro-Ger-
man activities terminating IN the con
troll of the New York Evening Mail
is a gratuitous insult, dastardly and
outrageous libel, and unworthy of any
representative of the American re-
public" Unequivocally denying, both
on his own behalf, any charge against
his loyalty, Mr.. Feigenspan said he
wished to filing the charges back In
the face of those who made them, :"
and offered to match hs record with
that of "any man, Of high or low de-
gree in this nation" He challenged
any man to show better record, mot
only of loyalty Of lip, often made easy
by prosperity, but of loyalty Of sacri-
flee. Loyalty. in great losses, LOYALTY
in the hour Of destruction of my very
