FEDERAL OFFICERS IN
MOONSHINE RAIDS
Many Outlaws Are Captured
Much Whisky Destroyed
Men Killed.

Washington, Aug. 90-The biggest
intensive roundup of illicit whisky
distillers ever undertaken by the Gov
eminent has Just been completed in
southern mountain districts by reve-
nue. agents under the direction of In
ternal Revenue Commissioner Dan
iel C. Roper The activities of the
agents resulted in the seizure of 4S6
stills, arrest of 200 moonshiners, kill
ing of five outlaws and two Sheriffs
and the wounding of a number of
other government men and liquor
makers.
This systematic campaign of raids
has been under way for eight weeks,
mainly in mountains of Tennessee,
Carolina and South Carolina-all dry
States-but announcement was with
held until to-day to avoid giving adj
vance information to moonshiners OF
the activities of flying squadron OF
fourteen experienced revenue agents
This band, working swiftly from
community to community, cleaned out
nests of moonshiners who had been
operating without serious difficulty
for years, and left behind them "fol-
low up" vigilance organizations OF
citizens and officers to prevent out
laws from going back to their old
traffic.
More than 10000 gallons of pale
moonshine whisky was seized and
poured down mountain streams. Over
100000 worth of Illicit copper stills
of all sizes, and other paraphernalia,
automobiles, horses, mules, and wag-
ons belonging to the distillers was
taken by the flying squadron. About
81 900 pounds Of sugar found on
distillery premises was confiscated
and most of it given to the Red Cross.
Recommendation for 321 prosecu-
tions have been sent to the Depart
ment of justice and forwarded to
United States Attorneys while most
of the moonshiners caught at their
stills are behind bars in Southern
jails awaiting trial.

DROVES OF GERMANS
DESERVING TO ALLIES

London, Aug. 30-German SOL
diers are flocking to the British lines.
An epidemic of desertion threatens
to demoralize the enemy armies op-
posite the British lines.
Germans often are encountered
walking toward the west on the
roads. They carry packages contain
ing clean clothes and two days ra-
tions and ask British patrols the way
to the prisoners camp.
The defeats of the last two days
and the continual hammering seem
to have led almost to open mutiny in
some of the German formations. The
214th German division is especially
mentioned in this connection.
One officer in this unit said his
men absolutely refused in a body to
fight and he personally shot ten for
their refusals. He added that even
that did no good, for, as the officer
said, they were absolutely hopeless"
He therefore surrendered himself to
the British.
The officer added that when his
men learned they were opposed by
the Canadians the Germans almost
started a panic.

WESTERN FRONT TOO HOT;
HUNS IN EAST REFUSE TO GO

Amsterdam, August 31.-The
Germans have been seized with a
sort of peace mania, according to the
frontier correspondent of the Tele-
graf. The events in France have
made such a profound impression
that the Germans, one meets along
the frontier are Indifferent to the
prospect of the defeat of the Central
Empires, and only wish to get peace
as quickly as possible.
The correspondent declares that
two German regiments in Russia re-
fused to go to the western front and
that 100 of the soldiers were shot.
Seven hundred Of the bodyguards at
Munich refused to go TO the front
and barricaded themselves in their
barracks until they were compelled
to surrender, the correspondent says.

RHEIMS SAFEGUARDS.

New York, Aug. 31.-Why Rheims
has not been attacted in force by the
Germans is explained by Gen. Won Ar
denne, military critic, in the Berlin
Tageblatt.
1.-The city of Rheims las a very
strong garrison" wrote the general.
"At least two divisions of colored
colonial troops. These find full pro-
lection from the German artillery fire
in the deep-lying cellars, miles in
length, which the big champagne
firms have dug into the chalky soil.
These cellars can also be kept closed
to the gas fumes which spread out
over the ruins of the city.
1.-The garrison is therefore girded
and protected by an impenetrable
armor. In the event of a German
storming attack, which in itself would
be serious in view of the permanent
gas clouds over Rheims, the French
colonial troops would be able to as
sumo the defense of the city'un-
weakened"

RHINE TOWNS PROTEST.

Geneva. Aug. 31.-An important
meeting of representatives from IL
Rhine towns began yesterday at Saar-
bruecken. The conference was called
to discuss means of protesting to the
government against allied air raids
1t was decided to appeal to German
headquarters to come to some ar
rangement for both sides to abstain
from air attacks upon open towns
The question of air defenses, If the
appeal fails, was also discussed, as
were measures for the repair of prop
erty damaged and the payment of in
IDENTITIES to the families of persons
killed and injured. Meanwhile, in
surance rates have increased 3S per
cent in Rhine towns, it is announced.

three days and nights of the bitterest
fighting. The correspondent says that
the Americans encountered a stout
hearted and extremely skillful enemy
showing no signs of lowered NOR
ale.
Every foot of the way into Juvig-
ny had 70 be tested with machine
gunners, who fought until none was
left to fight. The Americans gained

DO YOU HELP THE ENEMY
Great English Statesman Says Money
Spent for Luxuries Aids
the Hun.

Here are a few points on thrift
given by the British Chancellor of
the Exchequer which are worthy of
emulation by Americans;
Lives must be lived more simply.
Personal. household and business
expenses must be reduced to the
minimum.
Surplus weekly or monthly earn
Iings. over necessary expenditures,
must be invested straightway in war
securities.
Current balances at the banks
should be kept as small as possible
and the money invested in war bonds.
Nobody's money can be neutral.
Money lent to the country fights
for the country.
Money spent on Injuries and non
essentials is helping the enemy.

MAYBE 1T is FORD's IDEA.

London, Aug. 5.-There is keen
international rivalry now in tank
design. 1t seems to be generally con-
coded that the French have improved
upon the British, but that the latest
British pattern pushes IL very close

appear to have been a success, though

lures.
