GERMAN MILITARY
 TRIALS FARCICAL

"The German military code is 8 complex mystery that no lawyer of the western world, no lawyer of Latin or of Anglo-Saxon culture. would attempt to explain D says Brand Whitlock in Everybody's for August. Trials for treason were frequent trials of Belgians, that is. Just how 8 Belgian could be guilty of treason against Germany is difficult to com prehend, but that was what the Ger mans called 1t, even though they did qualify it in the phrase, trahison de guerre, in the notices that announced the judgment, often to death, of those who were guilty of this crime. The trials were often mere farces. They were conducted, in important cases
 in the old Senate chamber before 3 court of high officers with whom. at times the Governor-General himself would sit. The prosecutor would
 bring in his evidence, sum it up, and ask for a certain penalty which was usually accorded. The accused in many cases were allowed no counsel, ano
 when they were, the attorneys were not permitted to see their clients be- fore the hearings or to be informed of the charges against them. They
 would appear in court and do wha i they could, which was not much since any vigorous defense was ap | to be considered as wanting in re-
 snect to the court, or to the German | uniforms, or some such thing"
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1918-08-09

decrease in Greater New York was $1O9, 9,01O,819, or 55 per cent; in Chi cago, $63,667,160, or 56 per cent; in Detroit, $11, ,510, or p per cent; and in Philadelphia, $16, ,605, or 33 per cent. Waterbury where the building operations cost $6,562,9SO, showed the largest increase-$2,- 292,93O, or 54 per cent. The princi- pal cause of decrease were the scar city and high cost of material and labor. In some cities the cause of decrease was financial stringency. The causes of increase were local. In New Haven, for example, a great increase was caused by the erection of large building for Yale University.
 For 1917 a total of 145 cities re- ported operations costing $687, ,415,- 6O5. For 1916 practically the same cities reported operations costing $1,O24,211, ,675. Of the 145 cities re- porting for 1917, 129 stated opera tions by classes of structures. The total cost of the buildings erected in them was $632, ,694,952. The part of this amount expended on wooden buildings was $168,290,958, or 27 per cent; on brick or hollow-tile build ings $322, 147, GIT, or 51 per cent; on stone buildings, $4,589,168, or less than 1 per cent; on concrete buildI- ings, $66, 300, or Il per cent; and on steel skeleton buildings, $58,44O,- 361, or g per cent.

Doc Adopts Marine

Sergt. J. G. Murphy of the St. Paul marine recruiting station has been adopted. No, it wasn't a millionaire widow, and it wasn't young lady who wanted a brother. It's a dog, and a good dog too.
 Chow, as it is called, is an Irish ter. rier, and 1t passed up an army major and several captains and 1ieutenants to pick on Murphy.
 Chow has taken a fancy to the ma. rine uniform ever since the day ii wandered into the recruiting office and nosed out master. Several days age Chow was missing and the recruitine officers thought it had deserted.
 It was a mistake, however, as the marine dog was found last night pa tiently waiting for Murphy. Sergeant Murphy says he will take the dog tc France when he goes.

MORE RIGID RULES FOR
 WAR ZONE PASSPORTS

Washington, Aug. 9-More rigid re-
 strictions on passports for workers Of relief and charitable organizations destined for the war zone are in pros meet as a result of reports submit ted to the State and War departments
 this week by individuals with official status returning from abroad. The statement is made that scores of pass ports have been issued to war work CTS, particularly young women, whose qualification for service was merely curiosity to see a war in progress. The protests have been received, it | is understood, from either the Eng 1 fish or French governments. It is pointed out that the presence of un- skilled and untrained workers const1- tutes a further burden in maintain
 ing the food supply at the needed point of safety.
 | The extent to which the issuance 1 of passports has been abused is indi- l cated by a statement in official quar- 1 ters here today that Gen. Pershing had discovered among the war relief , workers eighteen persons suspected | of being spies, and his hunt has not
 ended.
 1 Other passports have been issued to persons of immature age who, claim
 ing skill as executives, have flocked
 to Washington and presented applied tions through relief organizations
 here, A number of these applications are pending.
 Among those who have discussed
 the matter with officials of the State
 and War Departments this week is
 Judge Ben Lindley, of Denver, who
 has made a tour of the French and
 Italian fronts, Additional reports
 have come from Gen. Pershins and
 others of official standing,

Height Indicators,

The height indicator is a very deli cate instrument. It Is set at 70" at the afrdrome from which the machine starts. Consequently at night the pi- lot has to beware in landing on any other part of the earth. If the ground during the course of his flight be higher than that from which he start ed he may bump into it, although his height indicator may be registering 200 feet or more.
