DR.. NASH FINED
$1,000; HOARDS
TOO Much FOOD
First Ofense, Court Avoids
Jail Sentence-Mrs.
Nash Free.

DR.. Francis 8. Nash. medical direc-
tor Of the Navy paid fine of 1900
yesterday morning in Criminal Court
No. after he had entered a plea Of
nollo contendere to . charge OF food
boarding. This plea meant that he
did not care to say whether he was
guilty or not.
DR.. Nash was indicted by the grand
jury for boarding food, along with
his wife, Mrs. Caroline Nash. The
case against Mrs. Nash was nolle
pressed because, as United States At
torney John E. Iaskey. stated. DR..
Nash was the head of the family and
therefore responsible
1t Is the first case of its sort in the
District Of Columbia, and Justice STAFF
ford imposed the heavy fine to deter
others from the same practices. There
were however, extenuating circum-
stances connected with the case. 9th
erwise a much heavier 1ne, and prob
ably a prison sentence would have
been imposed.
Hoarded Before War.
In view Of the fact that the Food
Administration had learned that 50
per cent, OF the food found in DR..
Nash's residence was purchased be-
fore the declaration of war, and the
other % per cent before the food con-
servation act, Food Administrator
Clarence Wilson stated that the gov
eminent would be satisfied with q
fine, 1t being the first offense by DR..
Nash.
The food uncovered by the agents of
the Food Administration will be sold
by them and the proceeds. deducting
the cost OF the sale, will be turned
over to DIR. Nash.
To quote Clarence r. Wilson. the
food administrator, on the effect OF
10000 people each boarding on the
same scale as DR.. Nash:
Mr.. wilson's Views.
Upon that basis" said Mr.. Wilson,
IL throughout the country 10000 peo-
pie would do as DR.. Nash did, they
would have in their possession 10000
barrels OF flour, or one-quarter OF the
weeks flour production for the whole
country. As to sugar, they would
have III, 100 tons, or two and one-half
weeks sugar supply for the whole of
the United States. For England they
would have seven weeks supply. or
ham and bacon, they would have
$40. 900 pounds, or four days con-
sumption Of ham and bacon of the en-
tire country; of beef. two days con-
sumption; Of lard, twelve days con-
sumption; Of rice, over a months
supply Cor the whole OF the Omitted
States"

up and we went out and took our pc
sitions on the field. At six o'clock ou
artillery opened up a heavy barTage
covering us ahead. We advanced oul
two miles, about 100 yards behind
where our barrage was falling. AS VIZ
reached the town our barrage lifted
and we met the Germans.
Machine guns and rifles worked
fast and fierce for about thirty min
utes, when we jumped to our feet an(
with wild war whoop the Sammies
run in the town, taking prisoners ant
shooting down those who tried to es
cape. In ten minutes all was quiet
and we held possession.
Then Jerry turned his artillery
loose on the town, but we all found
deep dug outs and perfectly safe. We
found bread and apple butter ant
cheese which they had, and we al
sure had feast.
Huns Counter Attacking.
'In short time, much to our sur
prise, we found that the Germans
We're counter attacking us with ma.
chine guns from all sides. We all got
out together and put up a fight, and
I'll tell you, dad, it was the toughest
battle that I'd seen in the army. They
were Shooting at us from all sides, but
the boys stood fast and fought like
demons. 1t was here where / got
mine.
81 noticed that some sniper was
shooting us from the back. / slipped
down the trench and was sneakins
around trying to put the sniper out OF
business when a German 'whizz bang
came along and caught me in the leg
AS my leg was broken it put me en-
tirely out of business, so / crawled to
a shell hole for safety and laid there
AS we all carry bandages with us
had one to wrap up my leg with, so
laid and rested. Soon the fighting
ceased and everything was quiet. Our
boys were relieved by some other
bunch, and they went back to the 9th :
er town. But in the meantime / did
not know that they were relieved, or
did not know what they were doing,
so was afraid to call for help on &C :
count of the Germans, and / laid in
that shell hole Sunday afternoon, Sun
day night, until Monday at three
o'clock, four hours after the armistice
had started.
Shooting Let Up.
ri noticed there was no shooting
going on but didn't know the rea-
son. I began to get uneasy as l didn't
want to stay out there another night
and suffer from exposure, so I began
calling for help as loud as / could. l
called for about half an hour when !
noticed six Germans coming my way.
I sat up, with my hands in the air,
ready to surrender The leader had a
Red Cross on his arm, and he looked
at my leg and said, Too bad He then
said, THE war is 'ca'put," Americans
and Germans all Kamerads now Well,
I was very glad. They fixed brace
on my leg and tied it over for me.
They gave me some bread with some
sugar on it which 1 ate with pleasure.
He then pulled out small bottle of
German whiskey and / took a drink
and handed it back. Then one of
them went to the town and came back
with four Sammies and a stretcher.
Then was carried away to an ambu-
lance and here l am, all fixed up and
feeling fine. Will be back in little

he declared. "This has been a day
when our memories bark back to the
days of Bethlehem long ago when the
Christ Child was born. 1t is a day
when we recall the angel choruses and
the wise men and how all paid HON
age to the great Prince of Peace who
was born on that day."
Rev. Cahoon stated that he consid
cred community gathering of this
kind beautiful conception of the
spirit of the day. He recalled the
glorious feats of the allied nations in
the war and pointed that three men
of the common people, three men who
had arisen from the lowly station had
directed the destinies of the world in
this struggle. These three men were
named as Lloyd George of England
George Clemenceau of France and
Woodrow Wilson of the United States
These three men, the speaker declar-
ed were of the common people and
worked for the common people. They
heralded a new era of the rights of the
masses.
Reel Of Movies.
Following the address by Rev. Ca
hoon reel of movies was shown on
a huge white screen which had been
placed on the side of the Saulpaugh
hotel. The film was Christmas mo-
vie and greatly delighted the children.
Chief of Police Ed Ario blew ITO
Colors" on the bugle when the pic
lures were over and the Riddles all
crowded up to the platform to be on
hand the moment the distribution of
the presents began. Herman Fink
made most realistic Old Santa, and
was assisted in the distribution of
presents by Misses May Wiseman and
Berdale Dooley who were dressed in
typical winter costumes. At the close
of the entertainment Chief Ario
sounded "taps."
Address of Rev. Cahoon.
The following is the four minute
address of Rev. G. A. Cahoon:
Ladies and Gentlemen: If all of
you will try to keep quiet / will try
to make some of you hear. This is a
day of memories. We are thinking of
angel chorus in the long ago; of
watching shepherds and baby's low
cry; of AN infant crying in the night,
an infant crying for the light, with no
language but cry We are think
ing, too, of wise men who are come
from afar. These learned men were
doubtless representatives of both
wealth and royalty. The shepherds,
however, were humber folk, with lit
