LEGION VETERAN
BUT Is YEARS OLD
Youngest Member French Army Branch
Resident of Mobile, Ala.-Smug-
gled into Service.

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES IN
THE FIELD (by mail).-Of more than
goo Americans who have volunteered
in the French foreign legion during the
war less than dozen remain, and now
seek TO be transferred into the Amer
lean army
One of these American legionnaires
IS possibly the youngest fighting vet
eran IN the French army and certainly
the youngest American ever to oppose
the Germans. He is Jack Movet, lust
Is, of Mobile, Ala. And he doesn :
look his age.
Two years ago, in November, Movet
ran away from boys school he was
attending in England and smueglel
himself aboard 4 troop ship sailing tor
the Dardanelles. He was discovered
just after the ship passed Gibraltar and
was put ashore at Marseilles. Here al.
er much difficulty he convinced the re-
eruiting officer of the foreign legion he
was older than he looked and he became
a soldier.
Young Movet S first battle was in tha
Somme on July (. 1916, when his div
sion stormed Belloy on Santerre and on
which day Alan Seeger, the American
" Poet of the Legion, > was killed
'Small bat brave as a lion" was
the reputation Moyet gained among his
companions in his first battle. Ad-
Nancing III the line of the grenade
throwers, the most dangerous position
IN modern infantry regiment, the
American youth, and his sergeant, a
German-Swiss legionnaire, found them
selves alone before they reached the
enemy trench. All their comrades had
fallen. Throwing grenades as fast as
they could work their arms. they
reached the enemy position TO find that
the Germans had refugcd in a decp
dugout. Before the second wave Of Tho
legion 5 attacking force swept by they
mad thrown grenades into the mouth of
the dugout and then, finding a spade
IN the trench, they calmly closed the
entrance. At least 40 Germans perished

Outstanding events during vo,np
Moyet $ 18th year and his second year
as hghter were participations in the
capture of Augeriye in Champagne dur

Hoover warmly denied it and said the
situation had been handled with the
approval of President Wilson.

to Eliminate Congestion
On Some Roads.

Washington, Jan. 3.-Serious con-
gestion on certain railroads while 9TH
ers adjoining or connecting are about
normal, was reported today to Direc-
tor General McAdoo, by Interstate
Commerce Commissioner McChord, in
charge Of the commissions inspectors.
The worst conditions reported so
far" said the report, are on the New
Haven, the Pennsylvania lines west
of Pittsburgh, on the Baltimore and
Ohio and Western Maryland and Cum
berland Valley railroads"
These reports were forwarded i'm
mediately to A. H. Smith, assistant d.
rector general at New York, with in
structions to reroute traffic from the
heavily burdened roads to those oper-
ating normally.
A general readjustment of passen-
ger schedules involving general cur
tailment of traffic is now considered
certain. The question was discussed
today between Director McAdoo and
passenger traffic representatives OF
eastern railroads. Later the cues
ton wass referred to the advisory
council which will report recommen-
dations to Mr.. McAdoo, probably to-
morrow.
Labor Agreement Likely.
After a three nour conference to-
day with heads of the four railway
brotherhoods, Director General Nc
Adoo said that some definite agree
ment on all relations of railroad labor
to the government management would
be made soon. The conference will
continue tomorrow.
The brotherhood chiefs assured the
director general of the cooperation Of
their unions and it was said there was
no danger whatever of any general
strike. Details of the brotherhoods
demands on railway arrangements be-
fore the government assumed control
including 40 per cent wage increase
were discussed at length and will be
gone into further at the conference to-
morrow.

newspapers are unanimous in declar-
ing that the Germans and Austrians
have, after one week, thrown off the
mask and made it clear that the CEN
trail powers do not want real demo-
cratic peace. The Pravda says:
German imperialism Is again be-
ginning to show it's claws"
Germany's apparent unwillingness
to give Poland. Lithuania, Livonia.
Courland and Esthonia the privilege
of free self definition is the rock upon
which the negotiations have split.
Other conditions are ignored by the
Bolshevik leaders, who say that Ger
many opposes the most vital principle
underlying the Russian revolution.
In an interview with newspaper
men, Foreign Minister Trotzky said
that peace negotiations probably
would not be resumed at Brest-
Litovsk as the Russians oppose stout
ly the principle of annexation.
The Izyestia today gives the text of
pamphlet which the Bolsheviki are
circulating in the German lines in
which it is declared that the peace
conditions submitted by the central
powers show the Austro-German
promises of democratic peace to be
"uncOnscionable lies"
The document declares Germany de-
sires to free the peoples on Russia's
western frontier from the scope of the
Russian revolution in order to sub
jugate them with German capital, m
pose an Austrian monarchy on Po-
land and make Lithuanfa and Cour-
land German bureaucrats. 1t con-
cludes: ION such a basis the Russian
