German p. w. Wears
Service Chevron For
Work Building Roads

With the American Army in
France, April 14.-(Correspondence
Associated Press.)-Six months of
constructing roads, building bar
racks and unloading and reloading
the vast tonnage of supplies for the
American army gave several prison-
ers OF war i'll the Brest area the idea
that they were eligible to wear a
gold service chevron.
They blossomed forth one day
with a bright gold chevron glitter
ing on the lower part of the left
sleeve. 1t was wholly out of har-
mony with their general appearance
and an m. p" could not understand
this hybrid establishment, coupled
with the large letters, "P. w." sig
hifyins prisoners of war;" on their
backs. He inquired the purpose of
this dazzle on the left sleeve. A
boche explained his affiliation in the
American army. but that did not
satisfy the m. F." Off came the
chevrons with one strong rip. }

Socialist Leader
Begins Sentence as
Clerk in Hospital

Wheeling, w. Va, April ID
Eugene V. Debs, socialist leader,
sentenced to 10 years. imprisonment
a. the Moundsville penitentiary,
near here, for violation of the es-
pionage act, began his term today
as clerk in the prison hospital.
Warden Terrell said he had in
tended to assign Debs to the Ii
brary, but decided he would be the
object of too much curiosity there
and gave him the clerkship, the
highest work in the institution, be-
cause of his age.
Before he began work this morn
ing, the warden told Debs he would
be we'll treated as long as he COM
piled with the prison regulations
and the only special requirement in
his case was that he refrain from
preaching any of his doctrines,
which Debs agreed to do. When
Debs was measured for prison
suit it was found the regulation
trousers were too short and a spe-
cial pair will have to be made.

Detroit, April l4.-News of the
near mutny Ct American troops un-
der British command in Russia
struck the responsive heart chords
of western Michigan mothers here,
scores of whom have not heard
from their sons, fighting in that far
off land, !or many months.
Although patriotic to the fullest
extent the parents of boys in serv-
ice in Russia seemed to have ex-
pected just such an occurrence. One
boy in writing home told his
mother that he didn't know with
whom or for what he was fighting.
but that he was making forced
marches through heavy snow al
most daily.
Urged Sons Release.
Most western Michigan parents
of men in Russia have made strenu-
Gus efforts to secure the releases of
their sons from the service owing
to the conditions set forth by the
men in letters since their arrival
there.
George Albers of Muskegon, in
writing to his wife of but few
months said:
well, | am prisoner here with
the bolsheviki, but am being treated
as we'll as could be expected under
the conditions. l never have enough
to eat, but always get my share
when it is passed around | am
sorry for the boys who are doing
the fighting in this Godforsaken

In Point in Omaha.

This decision of the supreme
court of the United States evidently
sustains the city of Columbus in re-
ssting the attempt of the street rail
way company io increase its fares,
said Corporation Counsel w. c.
Lambert.
II am sending for an abstract of
the case, as It is of interest IN view
Of the case pending here" he added
"In the Columbus case, the street
railway company put its increased
rate into effect and then the city
came in with its opposition. | note
that the company there based its
increased rates largely on an award
made by the War Labor board,
which the Omaha company did.
I'm our case the street railway
company filed its application before
the State Railway commission and
the city entered its objection. This
case has gone to the supreme court
Of Nebraska and will DC called up
for hearing next ,aoIth.
Il regard the action of the SUI
preme court of the United States,
in the Columbus case as significant
in establishing a precedent"
Attorney John L. Webster of the
street railway company stated that
he would have to know more about
the Columbus case before he could
discuss it intelligently.
