San Francisco, Cal, Feb. 25.-Jack
Dempsey, worlds heavyweight boxing
champion, and his manager, Jack
Kearns, will be indicted by the fed
eral grand jury when it files its re-
port, it has been announced here. The
grand jury voted to return these in
dictments, it was said in the Federal
building, after adjournment.
charged with having made false
statements in furnishing information
to the draft board in San Francisco
that placed Dempsey in the deferred
class when he was called as soldier.
The grand jury proceedings, which
have been hanging fire some weeks,
is closed. The indictment will be re-
turned in Judge Rudkin's court, at
which time the grand jury will be dis
charged.
That the Department of Justice was
sure of its ground in the investiga-
tion of the Dempsey case is the dec
laration of Il. Il. Orr, agent of the de-
partment. Sensational charges against
Dempsey was intimated by Orr in con-
nection with alleged letters of Demp-
sey to Mrs. Dempsey and to other
friends in Wells, New, where Orr
went few weeks ago to uncover in
formation on the status of Dempsey
during the war period.
That the government since Orr's
visit to Wells has been in possession
of thirty-five letters upon which the
charges against Dempsey and Kearns
Blanford, chief for this district of the
are based, was admitted by e. NJ.
Blanford, chief for this district of the
Department of Justice Blanford re-
fused to make known the contents of
the letters, saying the government
would not show its hand before the
trial
Orr also refused to comment on
the letters, except to concede that the
government would lean largely on the
letters in the prosecution, which he
stated would take place.
Naturally Dempsey cannot remem-
Der what he wrote a year and half
ago." said Orr, "and naturally he
would like to know what are in those
letters. But the government does not
intend to give them out"
The charges against Dempsey and
Kearns are based on an alleged con-
spiracy on the part of the two to Sc
cure Dempsey's exemption from mill
tary service on the ground of depend
ents.

by Five Tanks

O'Clock all was ready and the minia-

for half an hour. After this they
were quietly withdrawn. crawled back
on their little narrow gauges and
started merrily on their way. They
timed their work perfectly. and as
they pulled out a terrific barrage hit
the wood they had left.
"The following evening the proceed
ure was repeated. Again the bar
rage descended too late to hurt the
jaunty band. For six successive
nights the troupe staged their one
night stands. and the reports all along
the sector, showed that the Hun was
up In the air. All day long the sky
was full of planes searching for the
army Of tanks which the enemy was
sure was concentrating on this front.
All suspicious looking places were
bombarded with the usual Hun thor

long the darkness was dispelled by
hundreds of flares and rockets, and

was during the dark days of the war.
The feeling that all is not well has
weighed upon housekeepers for weeks.
when life's prime necessities grew
rarer and dearer. But now the coun.
try has been told the bitter truth by
Food Controller Murialdi in a speech
before the chamber of deputies.
This years harvest of grain has

must import 25O.OOO.OOO hundred.

cents for two-pound loaf, and means
S4ooOOO,OOO on hard grain alone; on
soft grain the loss equals another
$4OO,OOO,OOO; on olive oil the state
loses several hundred million dollars.
Italy Is the only allied country
whose inhabitants must still eat war

Is so poor the public has less than
one-third the quantity doled out last
year. There Is less than half the
quantity of cheese, lard, butter and
milk Of last year; there is a serious
sugar shortage too.
And the food controller has no
remedy to suggest. The public blames
him and his food ministry. He
blames the food ministry too, say
ing that such chaos reigned when he
took 1t over last summer that he has
been unable to straighten things out
and will resign as soon as possible.
He told an astonished chamber that
he found his ministry buying cheese
at 90 cents pound, to resell to
wholesale dealers. who doled it out
TO the public at $1.5O pound. He
added that one great trouble is the
lack of food experts to advise the
government in buying foods. es-
pecially perishable kinds. And he
said he saw no hope for better food
situation In the near future unless
people eat less and pull their belts
tighter over empty stomachs.

the German high command to healthy
fear of the American soldier by re-

plans for the Meuse-Argonne offensive
were about to be carried into execu-
ton. In these days of the airplane
and wireless telegraphy, 1t seems i'm.
possible to deliver surprise assault.
Nevertheless no pains are spared to
deceive the enemy as to the exact
point of attack. AS means of cover
ing the true point of attack, the chief
of tank corps presented scheme
which received the approval of the
high command.

proceed from this point in north
westerly direction along the lines via

night further down the line.
