Another secretary in the same To-

his job to supply the front line. and he
is not permitted to go up by daylight.
He waits till dark and fills a pack
with cigarettes and chocolate and
crawls to the ditch. His sleeping
place is little dug out at the edge of
woods.

No Heat, No Rent,
Is Court Ruling
Supreme Tribunal Reverses
Municipal Verdict i'm Fa-
vor of Landlord

Landlords Of heatleas apartments
will derive cold comfort from a de-
cision yesterday by the Appellate Term
Of the Supreme Court, which reversed a
municipal court decision in favor of a
landlord who sued a tenant who refused
to pay rent because his apartment was
not properly heated last winter.
The cult was brought by A. G. Bliss,
landlord, against Roy C. Clark, tenant.
Mr.. Clark not only refused to pay rent
for February, but brought q counter
claim for gas stoves and gas used by
him in heating his home during that
month.
In reversing the lower courts find
ings in favor of the landlord the Appel
late Term said: at follows where there
is no express covenant to furnish heat
the tenant may abandon the premises
and successfully resist claim for rent,
but such lack of heat cannot be basis
of an action against the landlord. and
the tenant cannot continue to occupy
the apartment and counter claim in an
action for rent"

This condition will be remedied by the

that will improve conditions In Jerusa

fantry, ever since that body has been

p "Over the top" he has gone three
times with the soldiers, and gained
such a reputation for bravery in &C.
ton that Major Roosevelt has recon-
mended his appointment as captain in
the regular army.
When he was not In the thick Of the

three. was carrying sacks of home
made doughnuts to the hungry fighters
or he was holding services where the
whine Of flying she'll mingled with
the singing Of his congregation.

In March Major Atkins was caught
