JAIL SENTENCES
TO BOOTLEGGERS

New Haven, March 22-Before ask
ing for imposition of sentence on a
number of men accused of bootlegging,
United States Attorney Spellacy told
Judge Thomas in the federal court
today that conditions in New London,
due to the activity of bootleggers, was
so bad that he had asked navy officials
to do something to stop it. He said
that New London was probably the
worst port on the coast for bootlegg-
ing. The commander of the q. S. S
Salem in that port had asked the civil
authorities to remedy conditions.
Judge Thomas questioned the de-
PENDANTS from New London but ap-
parently each knew little of condi-
tons as a whole.
Jail sentences were given to Frank
Jones, colored; Charles Ladleux, Henry
Dardelin, Edward Gill, Thomas Con-
molly, Joseph Greene and James Falk-
ms, and a fine was given to Charles
Stebbins. For making false state
ment in his QUESTIONABLE PABLO Pilosa

BOYS TO MARCH

Camp Devens, Aver, Mass, March
22.-Requests for the sending of men
from the camp to take part in parades
for the third Liberty loan drive, which
begins April s, came to headquarters
from all parts of New England in
great numbers in the last few days.

f., 301st, will parade in East Boston
on that day. Several other places will
have their boys home for April pa

According to the general sentiment
expressed it is felt that the home boys
marching through the streets of their
own home town will be the biggest
incentive possible to put over the new
drive. The cities and towns which
have sent requests, realizing the heavy
expense to the government of sending
tie men home, have offered to bear all
expenses. "Bostons Own the 301st,

to order a civil mobilization that

Enemy first and second line
positions on a part of the sector
east of Luneville, have been
destroyed completely by Amer
lean artillery fire. After the
raid into the German positions
last night the American gun
ners shelled the positions heav-
lily all night and this morning.
Today a patrol, without assistance
from the artillery, crossed No Mans
Land and found the first and second
lines had been wiped out.
The patrol also obtained additional
information and returned without cas-
ualties, the Germans apparently hav-
ing decided not to modest them.
Artillery firing by both sides on the
sector continued all day.
On the sector northwest of Toul a
number of Germans deserted last
night and surrendered to an Ameri-
cam patrol in a certain wood. The
Germans approached the Americans,
shouting Don't shoot" The prison
ers were turned over to the French
Much information of value was OBJ
tanned from the deserters who said
they were "fed up" with the war and
decided they would rather be prison
ers. Included in the information OBJ
tanned from the men was the state
ment that during the gas protector
attack against the American lines or
Feb. 27 nine hundred projectors were
employed.
One half of the projectils fired fell
within the German lines and the gas
overcame many of the Germans. The
next day. according to thed eserters
IL Germans were killed and 80 were
wounded while taking out the dead.
American intelligence officers are
inclined to doubt the story regarding
900 projectors. American information
is that only rs were used. o.
An American patrol last night en-
tered the enemy first line and remain
ed there six hours but did not see
any of the enemy. lit is reported that
the Germans recently had constructed

up on the side.
Great activity continues behind the

as those of men in local company of
