 While the greatest progress contin- ues to be made southeast and east of Arras mometous events apparently are impending north of Soissons. Here, Gen Mangin has for several days been pushing forward in a slow but steady advance until he now holds the key position to the Vesle front from which if their movements are an indication of their plan of maneuvre the Ger mans plan to retreat back of the Aisne or to the Chemin des Danes. The Germans have been forced out of the Ailette river sector and the main defenses of the Hindenburg line are endangered. A thrust by the Franco-American forces at this place would be a serious menace to the German line south and east of Sois- sons.
 The British continue to make pro gress in the Lys salient where Riche- bourg and St. Vaas have been captur- ed. In the vicinity of Lens a furious battle is in progress for the possession of that city. Lens is one of the strongest points of the German de- lenses in the north.

act of Assembly, President Judge
George Kunkel, in an opinion. or
ders a verdict of not guilty to be en-
tered in the case charging them
iously using the American flag for
advertising their business and trade.
The indictment was drawn under
the act of 1897. The facts in the
case were not disputed by the de-
fense. 1t was charged the two men
used a card on one side of which
was printed a representation of the
American flag and verses of the
Star Spangled Banner" and on the
other side a motion picture program.
Judge Kunkel in reviewing the case
and Interpreting the act of 1897,
rules that the law in that case is
written to protect the physical flag
and not a printed copy of it. The
desecration of the flag by using q
picture, print of representation of it
for advertising purposes was pro-
hibited some years later by a statute
passed in 1907. The court in dis
posing OF the case states that while
a special verdict authorizes a YER
dict of guilty to be entered if it is
found the defendants violated the
act of 1897; but as it appeared from
the facts the indictment should have
been drawn under the later law, a
verdict of not guilty is ordered
Another interesting case disposed
of in an opinion by Judge Kunkel
was a suit by Anna r. Motter against
Belle Stephenson, administrators of
the estate of John Marquart, de-
ceased.
1t appeared from the facts in the
case that the late Mr.. Marquart be-
queathed life insurance policy to
a friend. His sister took out letters
of administration on the estate and
refused to pay the policy. A court
suit was decided against her, and it
is stated she then refused to pay the
costs of the proceeding. The court
decided that as she personally had
more at interest in Withholding the
insurance policy she was liable for
the costs of the prosecution to get
the money.

Ex-COnvict Husband
No Divorce Grounds

Duluth, Minn. There is no relief
in Minnesota for a woman who mar
ries man while in ignorance of the
fact that he has a criminal record.
Should she institute a divorce action
the same will be dismissed, with no
cause for action. This is the sub
stance of decision handed down by
Judge II. a. Dancer, of District
Court, in the case of Emile Mayer
hofer against Joseph V. Mayerhofer.
The Mayerhofers were married in
Duluth April 80, 1916, and, accord
ing to the complaint. the plaintiff
believed the defendant was an
honest man. After marriage she
learned that he had been confined
in the State prison of Wisconsin and
also in the Missouri penitentiary
and at the time of his marriage was
on parole from the latter institution.
Concealment of one of the parties
as to his traits is not sufficient
ground for annulment, Judge DAN
Ger holds.
