Washburn s. A. T. G. May Come Un-
der Anti-Fag and Pompadour Rule.
One of the inalienable rights of all
soldiers, according to first and last
advices from the fighting line in
France and from the environments in
America. is the right of every soldier
to smoke If the Individual so chooses.
Reports say that most OF the men so
choose.
But report from a Lawrence
newspaper today sets forth the fact
that the right of the soldier to buy
and smoke cigarettes is to be abro-
gated at the students army training
corps barracks at the University of
Kansas. The city officials of the city
of Lawrence have issued a warning to
all dealers in tobacco that the state
law prohibiting the sale of cigarettes
must be enforced to the letter under

was in answer to a question as to just

this state, who sent word to the an

from William T. Grier, secretary OF
the committee, which contained the
following statements:
"You should receive during June

ALIEN ENEMY is
HELD IN INSANE
WARD AT HILLSIDE

Samuel Budnick, of 1917 Seaview
avenue arrested about two weeks ago
and held for the Federal authorities
on the charge of violating the rules
governing alien permits, is being held
under observation at Hillside home as
he exhibited signs of insanity while
at the North avenue Jail.
Police officials are under the be-
lief the man is taking and that he is
mentally normal but for the last few
days he has become SO violent in the
detention ward at Hillside it was
found necessary to shackle him to pre-
vent him wrecking his room.
Alexander Morrissey, of the Depart
ment of Public Charities, said today
that the man is insane and that the
Jail officials are mistaken in their
views on the matter. He also said
that it might be necessary to remove
Budnick to an insane asylum within
a short while unless he shows signs
of recovering from the violent state
into which he seems to have fallen.
AT police headquarters it was i'm
possible to get the full particulars
concerning the case, the authorities
merely saying the man had violated
his permit of Agent Justice Charles
H. Lane When asked. his depart
ment had no knowledge of the case
as up to the present he had receiv-
cd no report from the police.

AMERICANS SUCCESSFUL
IN SEVERAL OPERATIONS
Officials In Washington
Pleased at Reports From
Fighting Front.
FIRST OFFENSIVE
MADE IN PICARDY
Yankee Troops Take Town
of Cantigny From Huns
In Brilliant Attack.

Washington, May 29-Re-
ports of successful operations
by American soldiers are COM
ing to the war department, Sec
retary Baker said today. De-
tails of the actions are expect
ed in the regular official COM
munications from Gen. Perish
ing.
The secretary made this statement
when asked to comment on the situa-
tion in Europe:
IT cannot comment on the general
situation. We are constantly receiv-
ing reports of splendid valor and sue
cessful operations by our American
soldiers and I am very proud of the
part they now are playing. The de-
ti1s of these actions will appear in the
communiques from Gen. Pershing."
War department officials are highly
pleased at the conduct of the Arneri-
can troops in their first offensive
against the Germans in Picardy. The
attack that brought the capture of
Cantigny, they pointed out today, was
delivered with speed and precision,
testifying to the hard hitting qualities
of the American.
The quick consolidation of the
ground won, noted by both foreign
and American correspondents, officers
said, gives satisfactory proof of the
aptitude of American officers and men
in learning the methods of modern
warfare.
Some officers believe the American
attack may forecast the launching of
a counter offensive of large scope by
Gen. Foch. They regard the time and
place of the operations as right for a
feeling out thrust as preliminary to
a counter assault in force.
The German claim of 5000 prison
ers in the new thrust on the Aisne
front did not strike observers here as
unusual, should it prove to be true,
British official statements have shown
that the front line trench system in
this sector was overrun in the enemy
rush, which appear to have penetrated
to maximum depth of about 10
miles.
An addition to Gen. Pershing's
communique for yesterday, given out
by the war department today, reports
that two German patrol attacks on
May 26 and 27 were repulsed by
American troops.

American airmen, downed one enemy
machine while fighting six of them.

BOUGHT STOLEN
JUNK IS FINED .
$50 and COSTS

julius Kleiger, of 12 Carpathian
court, was fined $50 and costs when
arraigned in the City Court to-day
charged with buying stolen junk and
Joseph Brodsky of 66S Berkshire
avenue, was fined SIS and costs on a
similar charge.
Both men were arrested yesterday
by Detective Simons, who has been
investigating the theft of a large
amount of copper and brass from the
Home Brewery. In the course of his
investigation he discovered that about
two weeks ago twelve young boys
broke into the brewery, ripped off
large sheets of copper weighing from
twenty-five to over hundred pounds
each and carted them away to the
junk dealers.
The twelve youngsters were arrest
ed and it was upon the information
furnished by them that the two junk
dealers were arrested. The boys
will be turned over to probation Of
fcers and their parents will, in all
probability, keep a better watch over
them in the future.

ITALIANS FIGHT
AMID GLACIERS
ON MOUNTAIN TOP
Win Brilliant Victory in the
Tonale Region $4,000
Feet in Air.
SPECIALIZED TROOPS
ENGAGED IN CONFLICT
Important Austrian Mum
tion Depot Blown Up and
Telegraph Lines Taken.

Rome, Monday, May 27-The brill
liant victory of the Italian in the
Tonale region was won in fighting on
ground about $4,000 feet above the
sea level, amid melting snow and
everlasting glaciers. The battle was
remarkable on account of the highly
specialized troops engaged and the
mechanical devices applied.
The vast wastes of Tonale noun
tain dominating the Camonica pla-
teau and the approaches to Paradise
pass, had been neglected by both sides
as a field for offensive operations, but
now becomes more important.
Among the results Of the Italian
attack were the blowing up by ar
tillery fire of an important Austrian
munition depot and the capture of
two telegraph lines which ran through
Paradise pass. The Italians were
assisted greatly by a violent artillery
fire. It required heroic efforts by
the Alpini to carry the guns to the
mountain tops.

ATTORNEY MARA
WITHDRAWS AS
SINGS LAWYER
Alleged Opium smuggler
Refused to Listen to Local
Attorneys Advice.
CASE OPENS IN
HARTFORD COURT
Was Caught at Railroad
Station Here by Detective
Washburne.

Attorney George F. Mara who de-
Tended Gee Sing, the alleged opium
dealer, who was caught in this city
several weeks ago by Detective George
Washburn, yesterday at the trial
before Judge Edwin S. Thomas of the
United States court, withdrew as at
torney and a Hartford lawyer took up
the Chinaman's case. It is under
stood that Mr.. Mara gave up the case
because Gee Sing would not follow
his advice.
Collector of Port James L. MeGov-
ern and Charles H. Lane, agent of the
Department of Justice, testified before
grand jury at Hartford yesterday.
The jury returned two counts against
the Chinaman.
The Hartford lawyer told the court
that it was his intention to test the
constitutionality of the law under
which the government are holding and
intend to prosecute him. The court,
after comforting with James L. Nc
Govern, Collector of Port, who is TAX
ing the matter up for the government,
gave the Chinaman's counsel until
June 20 to report his intentions wheth-
er he will have his man stand trial or
plead guilty to the charges against
him.
1t will be remembered that the
greatest opium haul ever made here
was made when Detective Washburn
picked Gee Sing, up at the local rail-
road station, as he was about to take
a. train for New Haven The China
man carried bag and upon opening it
at detective headquarters about $3,-
| 900 worth of dope, pipes and all the
utensils, in addition to roll of bills
containing about $1,000.
Gee Sing was taken in custody sew
eral times on suspicion but was never
caught with the goods until his arrest
in this city. When he was arrested
| by Detective Washburn he was told
that he was wanted for stealing dia-
monds. The real reason was con-
veyed to him upon his arrival at police
headquarters. The local police turned
| the man over to the Department OF
Justice, who in turn gave the case te
the Customs Department, who are
pressing the case. 1t is the aim OF
the Customs officials not to let the
matter stand as it is now they are go
ing after the men higher up.
