NEW YORK, May 4.-The Victor
Talking Machine Company was held to
be an illegal combination in. restraint
of trade in a Anal decree signed by
Federal Judge Augustus N: Hand. The
court issued the usual dissolution re-
straining orders in such cases.
The government alleged in its petit
ton that the Victor Talking Machine
Company had systematically made
contracts and engaged in combinations
in restraint of trade in violation of
the Sherman antitrust law.
company, the court found that the con-
Germ had eliminated competition among
wholesale distributors and retail deal
ers in the United States purchasing and
selling it's products and had otherwise
restrained trade and commerce by
bringing about an agreement that re-
strictions promulgated by the company
with respect to resales. persons and
territory would be observed. APP

gigantic operations generally are now
proceeding SO expeditiously and smooth

best part of it all is that in this won

resigned from that posting owing to
the fact that Marx, the Mannheim

Duval was unreservedly devoted to

WITH THE BRITISH ARMY IN FRANCE, May 1O-(By the Associated Press)-One of the most daring and magnificent bits of work ever done by British battle planes was carried out this week, when two English ma chimes fought 20 German scouts to a standstill, destroying eight Of the en- emy and forcing several others to abandon the conflict because they had been so badly shot up. The British machines returned safely from this extraordinary engagement, having abandon ed their attack only when their ammunition became exhausted at the end of a half hour of whirlwind fight ing with machine guns.
 The battle was staged last Tues day evening, and these are the only details of it which now come to hand; it was about sundown that two British battle planes, each with a pilot and observer, went wheeling across this part of the front in search of prey. They were well back of the enemy's line when they sighted seven German scouting planes flying in formation. The hardy Britishers did not even pause to consider the odds against them, but turned the nose of the machines toward the enemy and raced in for the attack.

 The pope urges the world to trust in God, who is the arblter of the will of men and human events and to trust His mercifulness to put speedy end 10 so many storms, hastening peace and restoring among men a reign of justice and charity.

 CHICAGO May 10.-By defeat of the aircraft program and the selective ser vice act, together with the practice of sabotage in the trenches in France and the factories at home, it was hoped by the Industrial Workers of the World to crumble America's war plans, ac- cording to evidence presented by the government today in the seditions con- spiracy trial of the l.

 The mass of documentary evidence characterized conscription as q chal- Ienge to the working man, advocated spiking of guns and spelling of pow der. and termed the uniform of the soldier the livery of the scab herder." Why not ask the lUmberjack?" was the heading of an article in an official organ of August 9, 1917, in which au- thorities were quoted as saying the na- tons aircraft program would be de- layed a year unless a strike in the northwest lumber districts were settled in two weeks. This is an open admis- sion that we have tied up the spro- gram said the article.
