An investigation of the city government was
demanded. The public answered. And there
followed the appointment of lawyer of unim-
peachable standing as investigator extraordinary.
Unlike many civic investigations, this one leaped
into action from the start. Guilty officials were
dethroned, some even imprisoned. Magistrates
resigned, crept out of public Office. The police
force cleaned house. The law courts again be-
came halls of justice instead of stalls of the
money changers. Shady bondsmen, ''6xers, in
formers, provocateurs, ran to cover And even
as you read this, the fight still goes on.
A SCRIPPS-HOWARD Newspaper plays no role
of policeman or District Attorney. 1t is first of

in its job of printing the news, public malefac-
tors are found and brought to justice, SO much
the better for its readers -. and thus for
the advertisers using its columns.

"The Most Surprising Thing"
Ask ex-members of the A. e. f.

surprising thing about their answers
will be eheir great variety. Some
body asked marine who had fought
at Chateau Thierry that question and

he replied "That a man can be so
terribly wounded and recover all

The Sales Talk

One of the principles of high-pres-
sure salesmanship is that you ''have
to talk their language before you can
sell 'emi'' So when Sergt. Paul Hob
scheid of the One Hundred and Thirty
first infantry took part in the battle
of Chipilly Ridge. and was fired on
from a huge German dugout, he used
one of the principles Of salesmanship.
Crawling to one side of the dugout.
Sergeant Hobscheid. who had studied
German in Chicago. shouted: Fritz.
komm' heraus I" (Fritz, come out of
there).
No answer. He pulled the pins from
two grenades and tossed them down
the dugout steps. There was an ex-
plosion; stifled shrieks.
"Have you had enough?" Sergeant
Hobscheid shouted in German.
"Komm' heraus nit handen auf p
(Come out with your hands up).
Following this little sales" talk,
thirty Germans emerged one by one
from their shelter. They were lined
up and headed for the American lines,
four abreast.
Households comrades cut loose with
machine guns when the party ap-
preached the lines. Four of the Ger
mans were wounded before Hobscheid
made his capture understood.
Rushing backsto rs prisoners, the
sergeant ordered several of them to
assist their wounded comrades. One
refused, saying that he was an officer
and could not be seen carrying a pri-
vate. you're nothing but bucS
private now" said Hobscheid in his
Chicago-learned German as he tore off
the mans shoulder straps. Get busy"
And again his craftsmanship" proved
effective.

Mistaken Zeal

Some of the units of the Thirty
second division lived in an old stone
quarry near Jouy, France. Like other
stone quarries on the Western Front,
this one was remodeled into first aid
station, says Capt. Ralph e. Hill of
the G. A. G.
Shell-shocked victims as well as
hundreds of wounded were passing
through the station almost constantly.
One of the most active officers on the
scene, to protect the injured as well
as the whole, was the divisional gas
officer.
This individual was a zealot, where
every man must have his mask con-
tinually at the alert was enforced
rigidly by the d. z. o., captain.
A hospital sergeant walked toward
the stone quarry early one day when
the first of the days wounded were
litter on which rested the body of a
dead soldier.
The sergeant had on no gas mask.
He was spotted instantly by the d.
g. o. Rushing up behind the sergeant,
the gas officer shouted dramatically !:
"Say! What in HI do you think you
are, a bear. :.
Before he could continue, the SER
geant grasped the astonished captain
by the neck and began to force him
down upon the occupied litter, mean
while calling to other soldiers to come
to his assistance.
Only the timely Intervention Of the
medical officers convinced the SER
geant that the captain was not a
victim of shell-shock, similar to those
he had been handling every day.

TYDINGS IN RUM CASE
AS DEFENSE COUNSEL
Senator and Joseph P. Tumulty
Appear to Attack Validity of
16 Firms Indictments.

BY the Associated Press.
BALTIMORE, November 14.-United
States Senator Willard E. Tydings and
Joseph P. Tumulty, once secretary to
President Woodrow Wilson, yesterday
appeared in Federal Court to attack
the validity of three indictments charg-
ing l6 firms and SO individuals with
conspiracy to convert lacquer thinner
into beverage alcohol.
The court was told unauthorized per-
sons were permitted in the grand jury
room during the Six-week investigation.
The Government called the case the
largest liquor conspiracy in the history
of prohibition.
Defense attorneys charged the secrecy
of the grand jury proceedings had been
violated because Edward I. L. Koontz,
appointed special United States attorney
so he could take Stenographic notes
of the testimony, had not transcribed
the notes himself but had permitted
that to be done by some one else.
Government attorneys declared there
was no statute requiring that proceed
ings of the grand jury be kept secret
Judge William C. Coleman said he
would take the matter under advise
ment. No date was set for decision
Some of the firms seeking dismissal
of the charges were the United States
Industrial Alcohol Co., the United
States Industrial Chemical Co., the
Amazon Industrial Chemical Co, and
the Baltimore Paint & Color Works.
