Alien Property Custodian
Is Title of New Official
Created Since War Began

"Alien property custodian" is the til
tie of a new official created by an act
of congress Of October 6, 1917, known
as the Grading with the enemy act"
It relates to the handling and dispo-
sition of productive properties in the
country previously owned and oper-
ated by companies or corporations of
a country now at war with the United
States. In effect, it confscates such
properties, temporarily, leaving their
final disposition for future settlement.
Section 8 of the act says:
"That the president is author
lied to appoint, prescribe the duties of
and fix the salary (not to exceed
$4,000 per annum) of an official to be
known as the alien property custo-
dian, who shall be empowered to re-
ceive all money and property in the
United States due or belonging to an
enemy, or ally Of an enemy. which may
be paid, conveyed, transferred, assign
ed or delivered to said custodian I'M
der the provisions Of this act, and to
u, dCCOuuL 1OI Tic
same under the general direction of
the president and so provided in this
act"
Every corporation incorporated
within the United States, and every
unincorporated company doing bust
ness here which issues stock certifi-
Gates is required to send the alien
property custodian a list of its officers
or stockholders residing in q country
with which we are at war, together
with the amount Of stock owned by
such person. The alien property Gus
todian Is vested with all the powers
Of a common law trustee in respect
of all property which shall come into
his possession In pursuance Of the pro-
visions Of the act, and may manage
slch property and do anything In re-
spect thereof necessary to Its control
and operation during the war, its ulti-
mate disposition to be settled after
ward. There is reason to believe that
personal representatives of the Ger
man government, perhaps even the
kaiser himself, have become stock
holders In certain business concerns
in this country and tee "alien property
custodian" has declared his intention
to root them out.

Castor oil Is Soon to BE
off the Market, According
TO Druggists Prediction

Castor oil, the public's one unfail-
Ing remedy for ali ills, is about to
go of the market. At least this Is
the prediction Of indianapolis whole
sale druggists, who say that 1t Is
only a matter OF few months until
the oil win be dropped from druggists
price lists.
Again the war Is to blame. The
oil Is made from the castor bean,
which for years has been imported by
the United States from the East In
dies by the thousands Of pounds. Now
the war not only has curtailed the i'm.
portatfon OF the bean enormously. but
has created demand for the oil de-
rived from It that would have taxed
the capacity Of manufacturers had
they been able to secure the normal
supply Of the raw product.
The government has found, drug
dealers say. that no other oil Is as
perfect lubricant for the type OF
engines used In the country's air
planes as castor OIL. Consequently
orders have gone forth from WASH
ington dIverting the present supply
OF castor oil In drug warehouses from
civilian to federal use.

ALLIED VICTORY
Is UNEQUALED
FocH'S STRATEGY HAS WREST-
ED FROM GERMANS THE GAINS
OF SEVERAL MONTHS.

With the French Army in France
After the battle Of the Avre, the sit
uaticn of the belligerents presents a
change which for rapidity and extent
has rarely been approached in mill.
tary history.
Marshal Foch's strategy and the
mastery tactics of the generals con-
manding the armies and groups OF
armies under him have in three weeks
wrested from the Germans what re.
Quired months for them to obtain at a
cost variously estimated at from 7OO.,
600 to 100000 men.
The immediate result of the coun.
ter-offensive which will have the
greatest bearing on subsequent ope-
rations are the clearing of the Cha.
teau Thierry pocket, ending the men
ace to Amiens; the freeing of the i'm
portant eastern railroad line from
Paris to Chalons and the equally i'm
portant Lcrthern line from Paris to
Amiens, restoring to the allies means
Of communication which give them
enormously greater ease in future
movements of troops.
These successes render impossible
any rupture of the line which separate
the French armies of the center from
those to the east, or q rupture OF the
junction between the French and
British. The most disastrous conse.
Quence to the Germans. aside from
the heavy losses they sustained in
men and material, is the collapse of
their plan to drive wedges into the
allied lines and the subsequent widen
ing and Joining which would have
threatened general dislocation.
Marshal Foch's strategy in reduc.
ing the salient wedges wrested the
initiative operations from the Ger
mans, at once obliging them either TO
order q general retreat TO strong
line, such as the Somme, or to en-
gage reserves. The enemy adopted
the second alternative which, having
failed. makes eventual retirement Inn
mensely more difficult.
The first phase Of the battle OF the
Avre finds the French with footing
upon Thiescourt plateau. west of
Noyon, which has vital Importance in
future operations. The Germans must
either capture at high cost. II he can,
or abandon Ncyon, which means the
fall of Roye and Lasigny, which al
ready are under imminent menace Of
capture.
The disaster which menaced Gem
eral Won Hutier's army has been
averted for the moment. The few
narrow passages which now are open
for the withdrawal OF his stores are
so harassed by the bombs Of aviators
and the fire of heavy artillery that
prompt escape is impossible. render
ing probable desperate effort by the
Germans to cling to their 1914 line.
