first people l saw were five Austrians
under an Austrian lieutenant. They
didn't feel much like fighting, because
they surrendered at once. So we took
them in a tow and then kept on NOV

From the Other Direction
Just at the edge of the town l saw
two Yanks coming in from the other
direction. Then l knew that we had
the salient nipped off, that our lines
had been Joined up.

these two men, for / understood what
1t meant. They had come from an
other outfit and we're even more tired

Sergeant Tells Story of Historic juno
tlon OF Advancing Yank Forces
Prisoners Made En- Route.

The first proof that the st. Mihiel
salient had been wiped off the war
map was provided In the meeting of
advance American patrols in Hatton-
Vile.
This is the story az Sergeant Herd,
who was one OF the advance patrols,
tells II. He was the first man to
reach the place where the Yankee
limo was welded together.
l started out Thursday with my
squad to reach the first objective and
then continue the patrol.

no Boche had been overlooked.
These patrols also reported a num-
Der of prisoners they had rounded up,
and had started back to the rear,
where they went with great willing
ness. One of them had into a
German colonel. But instead of COM
ing out to surrender, he sent his man
out to announce that he was willing
to be taken prisoner, sc they went in
and got him.
Back With the Austrians
After meeting the first patrol, 1
started back with my Austrian outfit.
1t was then l met the other patrol, for
there were three sets working. and
that was complete evidence that all
OF us had reached our final objective
and that the entire salient was in
American hands.
The hardest part of the work was
the long night march through the
woods, where we never knew at just
what minute we'd run across Boches
looking for battle or stumble on a
machine gun nest. l have seen
a darker night or thicker woods.
After l had met the two patrols
and knew the line was Joined up, I
went on back a kilometer and a half
to the place where l had left my squad
taking the Austrian detachment along.
| then sent word back that the meet
ing had been effected and that the
line across the salient was intact.

"KOSHER" LAW NOT UNCON-
STITUTIONAL.

The appellate branch Of the state
supreme court in this city has
handed down a decision upholding
the constitutionality of the "kosh-
err" law of this state, enacted last
year, and affirming the conviction
of a Jewish butcher who sold unfit
("trefa") meat as Kosher" This
dereliction is exactly what this law
seeks to prevent, and those who agi-
tated at the time in favor Of it's en-
actment are greatly encouraged by
this action of the courts. The court
held in substance that the meaning
of the word 'kosher" could be and
was amply proved by experts quail
fed to testify as to it's meaning, and
that the particular meat exposed and
sold by the convicted butcher did
not come within the limits of the or
thodox Jewish law as to being meat
fit and proper to be consumed by
observant Jews. Five judges par
ticipated in this decision, four of
whom concurred in affirming the
action of the lower@court, while one
dissented. The judge dissenting de-
clared that the statute could not
and did not define what is meant by
"kosher" hence the crime for which
the butcher was convicted could not
be sufficiently and definitely speci-
fed

EXPRESSION OF
THANKS FOR FOOD :
SENT To FRANCE
Kentuckians Given Another Incentive
to Conserve Food During Period
Of World Relief.

Louisville, December 15-An incen-
tive to the people of Kentuvky to ex-
tend their war time conservation thru
the period of world relief is being re-
peated constantly in letters and re-
ports received in Washington, and for
warded to Louisville, expressing APP
probation for relief work done while
territories in Belgium and northern
France we're under German occupation
and voicing the heartfelt thanks of
these peoples for their liberation and
for the food which enabled them to
live through the war
One of these letters is from Mon
sieur e. Labba, secretary-general of
the French National Food Committee
of the North of France, District of
Lille This letter, addressed to Mr..
Hoover as chairman of the Commits
sion for Relief in Belgium, expresses
the joy of deliverance and gratitude
for relief extended to the eight or nine
million inhabitants of northern France
during the last four years. The ma
terial aid received by these people,
Monsieur Liable declared, brought
moral comfort which enabled them to
bear up under the misfortunes of
German occupation.
cat last we are delivered" he
writes But the joy which swells our
hearts does not make us forgetful of
those who have made bearable this
period of bitterness. Today offers us,
on the contrary, the desired occasion
for expressing freely our rull graft
tude to the Commission for Relief in
Belgium and to its chairman. We do
not yet know all of the obstacles
which had to be surmounted in order
to feed for nearly four years from
are mindful however, of some of the
difficulties which have been so hap
PLY overcome; and we are not ignOr-
ant of the fact that complex problems
have presented themselves at every
step, and that in each case the direc-
tors of the Commission for Relief in
Belgium have been able, with firmn ess
and energy, to apply the solution
which would be most advantageous to
our cause.
How can we help admiring an or
ganization which has for so long a
time succeeded in supplying the
daily bread to such a mass of cons m
ers. How, moreover, would it be los
sble not to feel the liveliest apr re-
citation for the directors of this )rk
who, while assuring to the unfort IN
ate inhabitants of the occupied teri
tories such material aid, have brou ght
them through this aid the moral COM
fort which has enabled them to bear
their misfortunes?
The people of Kentucky remember
that Mr.. Hoover first attained world
wide recognition through his activities
as Belgian Relief Commissioner, and
that Kentucky people have had their
| full share in making possible the work
of the Commission for Relief in Eel
GUM, which they are called to con-
tinue to support in every way.
