At several places the enemy sue ceeded in entering the American lines. They even entered and occu- pied Seicheprey, where the Ameri- cans holding that position offered a most stubborn defense Without moments delay, after their retire ment the Americans organized with the French, counter-httacks, which were carried out in a brilliant man ner, driving the Germans out of the village and taking number of pris- oncrs.

 Better Than Baseball
 WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, April 22.-(Sunday)- Tell them back home we are just beginning" said an American lad who in the thick of the fight was severely wounded with shrapnel It was fine to see our men go at the Huns.

I got several before they got me"
 Other men in the hospital were of the same spirit, while in a nearby ward was a wounded German pris- oner whom, it developed, was spared after he had held up his hands while al the same time carrying concealed bombs.

D. c. AUTHORITIES
TO GET BEN RUBIN

Ben Rubin will be turned over to
the District authorities as soon as the
transfer can be legally made.
And now that Rubin has been
eliminated as the slayer Of Eva Roy
on August 6, authorities OF Fairfax
county are to begin search for new
clues either to incriminate Lou Hall
further. or to find evidence against
some one else.
1t is understood the Commonwealth
is spending much time in building up
its case against Lou Hall, who has
been confined in the Fairfax Jail for
more than fifty days. So far nothing
has been obtained against Hall but
circumstantial evidence and 1t is the
hope OF those interested in the prose-
cution OF the woodcutter TO find some
tangible evidence to disprove or cor
roborate the accumulated circumstan-
tIal evidence.
Ben Rubin Is not the first man ex-
amined by the Fairfax authorities
who, at the time of the examination,
was held for another crime. Willie
worster. confined in the Staunton
asylum for the insane. and who has
also been eliminated from the case,
was one OF those suspected several
weeks ago. A Camp Humphreys ser
geant, arrested as a deserter. was at
one time a suspect, but later was
exonerated.
Reputation OF the confession" OF
the crime by Rubin has indicated
the opinion held by District detec-
tives.
