YANKEES BAIT ST HUNS
WITH FOOD AND TOBACCO
German Landwehr Members Grow
Indignant When They Are Told
They Are Prisoners.

By the Associated Press.
WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
NORTHWEST OF yERDUN, Sunday,
October 27.-Americans now count
among their prisoners f1fty-one MEM
bers Of the I'd German Landwehr. who
are the most sadly disillusioned men
from the German emperor's army. The
men still are convinced that they were
played a shabby trick In being taken
prisoners, though they are quickly be-
coming reconciled to their lot by their
generous rations Of food and tobacco.
The Germans for several days had
been coming unarmed out Of their
trenches, creeping forward to a point
midway between the two lines where
they had been given bread and to-
bacco by the Americans. Their do
nors, they told an American intelli-
gence officer today, wore crosses on
their shoulders.
The other day when they came over
they were told that the next time each
man would receive five sacks of to-
bacco instead of one sack. The op-
portunity was too good to be lost,
and instead of groups of three. four
came in q group, eager for the tobacco
and food.
The Germans were Hospitality re-
ceived at the customary rendezvous,
split into small groups and invited to
come to another spot, where the dis
tribution would take place. That spot
proved to be the intelligence Office
of tho American division, where the
1andwehrs were informed that they
were prisoners.
The Germans Indignantly demanded
to be sent back to their lines imme-
diately, together with their rations of
i've sacks OF tobacco and bread, but
demand that they Be returned. es-
pecially when they saw the treatment
accorded by the American soldiers to
them and to the other prisoners. The
landwehrs will receive their extra
rations as per promise.

ANTi.JEWfSH MOVEMENT
CONTINUING IN RUSSIA
Germans Are Reported Helping An.
ti-Semitic Agitation in Ban
on Yiddish in Mails,

MOSCOW. September delayed
Correspondence of the Associated
PreSs).-The anti-Jewish movement
in Russia is continuing, despite the
resolutions passed some time ago by
the an-Russian central executive
committee Of the soviets condemning
anti-semitic agitation, and despite the
appeals issued by various soviet or
CARNATIONS.
There have been no anti-Jewish out
breaks in recent weeks, but the
atmosphere is tense. The council of
the peoples commissars has issued a
proclamation stating that instigation
Of nAtionalistic antagonfsm will be
severely punished, and that those di-
rectly engaged in anti-Jewish agita-
ton and .-pogroms'' will be outlawed.
The proclamation says "the Jewish
workman is a brother to u.s..
While the Russian soviet republic is
making efforts to fight this relic of
barbarism, the German government
puts its seal of approval upon it and
helps the anti-semitic movement by
ofdciaIly excluding the Yiddish Jam
guage from the mails.

LONDON HAS IMMUNITY
FROM HOSTILE AIR RAIDS
Germans for Many Weeks Have
Had Urgent Need for Defense
Machines Over RattIefeIds.

| LONDON, October Correspondence
Of the Associated Press)-For fsu.
months London has enjoyed immunity
from hostile air raids. and moonlight
nights are NO longer dreaded by its
Inhabitants. For many weeks Ger.
man airmen have had far more urgent
business to attend to on the other side
Of the channel Much of this is due to
the persistent raiding Of Rhine towns
and the bombing of German air
dromes. These attacks compel the
enemy to muster for their defense
machines which they can il1y spare
from the battlefields, where allied su-
premacy in the air becomes increas-
ingly manifest.
The frequent raids on German towns
have been fully recorded, but the
growing frequency Of attacks ON Ger
man atrdr0meS have received much
less attention.
From Information obtained from the
war ministry it is learned that in the
month Of August alone there were
thirty-three attacks on German air
dromes, nineteen Of which were d.
rectcd against two Of them which had
become particularly obnoxious a.

In one daylight raid ON m airdrome
. fierce combat lasted over forty
minutes, as q result Of which foul
German machines were destroyed and
three others driven down "0ut of con-
troll" Two British machines were
lost.
Many of the night raids have beer
very effective. Over one airdrome i've
tons of bombs were dropped, sever
direct hits on hangers were made and
q FIRE was started. o.,
On another raid eight tons of bombs
were dropped and several hangers
completely burned out, and the air.

enectualIy spoiled it for landing pur-
poses.
The effect Of these attacks is te
cripple the efficacy of the Germans
aggressive work and their power Of
retaliation and demoraIize their per.
sonnet. Their recuperative powers
are now at low ebb.

s0vIETs DESTROY TUNNEL.
Rejoice Over Hindrance to Military
Aid for Czecho- Slovaks.

MOSCOW, August 81 (delayed)
Correspondence of the Associated
Press).-Soviet newspapers were en-
thusiastic over the news of the de-
struction of tunnel Sc on the Trans
siberian railway east OF 1rkutsk in
the Lake Baikai section. and declared
the hindrance would delay American
and Japanese troops from six months
to one year in their movement to re-
lieve the Czecho-Slovaks. The
IZvestia says the soviet forces ex-
ploded 1.040 pounds of dynamite in the
tunnel and destroyed it completely.

forty-eight which carries the rail-
way through the bases of mountains

JUDGE WADDkL RULES
PRICE FIXING IS LEGAL
Federal Decision in Favor Of Col.
gate & Co: Brands Price Cut.
ting as Demoralizing.
By the Associated Press,

NORFOLK, Va, October 30.-In a
decision rendered in the United States
district court Judge Edmund waddill
has sustained the demurrer and
quashed the indictment in the anti
trust suit against Colgate & Co., of
New York
After declaring that the government
had failed to show any restraint of
trade or commerce, unlawful combi-
nation to suppress competition, Judge
Waddill sustained the contention of
the defense that manufacturer, pro-
vided he is not in a conspiracy with
others who manufacture similar prod
ucts, has q right to fix and enforce the
maintenance of reasonable and fair
prices; that he is violating no law to
refuse to again sell to a retailer who
fails or refuses to maintain such es-
tablishment of price.
The court declared that price cut
ting demoralizes business, and that it
by no means follows that the public
is benefited by such temporary reduc-
tions in prices when the article can
not be considered as a necessity and
when there is no monopoly in its
manufacture. To refuse to sell goods
to retailer who cuts prices on arti-
cleS not a necessity and in the mann
facture of which the manufacturer
has no monopoly the court declared
no violation of the antitrust law.

marines up to two years ago were
those received about his optics when
he settled his disputes in the good old
Yankee, way. Today Luke. who is a
trife over nineteen years old. wears
three campaign ribbons. a croix de

Luke is the SON Of the chief of police
Of Georgetown. Pa He was living a,
17o7 Arch street. Philadelphia. wher
a recruiting poster caught his eye
and he decided to see the world
through the medium of the United
States Marine Corps travel agency. By
stretching his five feet six to the full
limit and by looking the recruiting
omcsr in the eye without blushing
while he swore he was within the
legal age limit for enlisting, Luke go,
into the soldiers of the sea-"
The story of Luke'S adventures since
that date came out in this city, when
while convalescing in large military
hospital he got permission to visit
| the headquarters Of the Knights OF
Columbus SO that he could obtain free
smokes and entertainment. He got
. both and got his story.
In Santo Domingo and Haiti.
Within few months after Luke en-
listed he earned his first campaign
ribbon by helping to impress the
natives Of Santo Domingo. A jaunt to
Haiti was next in order, where he &C.
quired another ribbon.
It was at BeIleau wood that Luke
earned the right to wear the wal

well camoufaged by a clump OF
bushes two German machine guns
were splitting death into the ranks OF
the French and the marines. Twelve
volunteers were called for to storm
the two nests and Luke was one of
the twelve. The twelve divided into
two bodies. but of the five with Luke
only one got as far as the objective

ed or wounded Three grenades well
placed by the boy from Pennsylvania
finished up the crew Of the gun he
was after.

Over on the other part of the hill

having a tough time. He turned the
gun he had captured on the Germans
still Fighting with the other bullet

quickly. but routed a counter attack
made by about thirty of the boche.
Aid arrived a little later, but before
that time fragments of shell had
put Thayer out of action temporarily
Since that time he has recovered
enough to have had the war cross
pinned on him, and he's happy, for
the surgeons have told him he'll get
back into action soon.
This wouldn't be such a bad old
war; said Thayer. "if only those
French generals wouldn't insist on
