headquarters and we went together to
St Mihiel, where the people, including
children carrying French flags, gave us
a welcome which may well be imagined
when one realizes that they had been
held as prisoners, entirely out Of touch
with their own countrymen, for four
years, though always within sight Of the
French lines. They had heard only such
vague reports. Of the war as their cap
tors cared to furnish them, which were
mainly accounts Of German successes.
All JubiIant Over Victory.
The people were assembled at the
Hotel de Vile, where we talked with the
assistant mayor He told us that in
their retreat the Germans had taken
away all the Frenchmen between 16 and
As. Fortunately the flight was so rapid
that these prisoners were abandoned
after a 10-mile march and returned
to ST. Mihiel the following day. The as
sistant mayor said the Germans had
treated the inhabitants well, but he
criticized the conduct Of a few of his
countrywomen, at which Petain kindly
remarked that we should net be too Sc
we're in our judgment under the circum-
stances.

vision headquarters the following day

I found all jubilant over the victory and
overf1owing with incidents Of the fight
ing, reciting many cases Of individual
heroiSm among the troops.
The I'd Division (Lejeune) and the
seth (Wrignt) both claimed the honor
Of capturing Thiaucourt. In assigning
objectives, while that village was in
cluded in the sector of the I'd Division,
the town was to be taken by the seth
should it arrive first. The result was a
keen rivalry between these divisions as
to which should have the honor.
Both units were equally insistent in
unfolding their claims, and I never
undertook to decide the question. Dis
tinctions in achievement among the at
lacking units on the southern face
could not be made with any assurance,
as all had done more than expected.
1t is never difficult to discover the
attitude of commander, as it is al
most certain to be reflected in his unit.
If the commander lacks aggressiveness
or Is disloyal there will be grumbling
and criticism of orders from higher au-
thority among his officers and men. If
he is aggressive and loyal his command
will show it.
I recall one incident which illustrates
the point. In conversation with one di-
vision commander he was asked the

STABILITY OF EMPLOYMENT IS
 VERY ESSENTIAL
President Knight of New England Council Made Keynote Address to Conference To-day

Boston, Nov 19-(UP)-Stability of employment should be accepted as an essential policy of business for the future, President Harry c. Knight of the New England Coun- cil stated to-day in the keynote ad- dress of the seventh New England conference.
 Knight addressed the New Eng land governore and hundreds of civic, industrial and business lead CTS at the first general session of the two-day forum. He expressed conviction that out of the present situation Amer ican prosperity would reach a high level but said this was de- pendent upon increased recogni- ton of the value of cooperative association and action-as applied between this nation and other na- tions on the one extreme, and as between the people of single community on the other"
 Referring to the pledge of the New England governors to Presi- dent Hoover that their states would handle their own unemploy- ment relief programs, Knight as- serted that "organization--cooper- ative association-within the states and communities must be the an- swer if the statements of our gov ornors are to be made good"
 If New England has suffered less than the average for the country in this depression" he said, "it is logical that she should be a leader in response to the current needs"
 The so-called Indiana plan of tax control was outlined by Gov ernor Harry G. Leslie of Indiana Under 1t the state board of tax commissioners has the right, on petition of ten or more tax payers:
 1-To review and pass on all bond issues or certificates of in- debtedness where the amount ex- ceeds $5,000.
 2-To review and pass on all tax levies fixed by local taxing of- ficers.
 In proof of effectiveness of the plan, Leslie pointed out that whereas $1,808,727,730 in taxes had been proposed for Indiana and all its municipalities during the last 12 years, but $1.534,171,027 taxation was approved by the state board of tax commissioners. Thus the tax payers were saved $74,556,- 703, or AS per cent.
 Leslie stressed the value of the Indiana plan in placing greater responsibility on the taxpayer and offering an incentive for him to familiarize himself with the affairs of his government and scrutinize carefully all proposed expenses, and also giving to him some right and voice in its administration"
 There was talk some time ago of possible secession of Connecticut from the New England states, but Governor Wilbur l..

when Caesar Pinto, 50. of 41 Union street advanced the modest loan of S1 to an acquaintance he little realized that he was buying for himself a generous slice of trouble. When the complainant was asked to render unto Caesar the little iron man that was Caesars, there was n hitch in the negotiations and the matter was taken to the police for mediation. Caesar was subsequently, arrested and charged with the violation of the pawnbrokers' law, a rather plebian charge against a man with such a historical name.
 Judge T. V. Meyer in police court this morning was anxious to give Caesar his due, but in view of the circumstances of the case

 With Violating

Dilane Gave Tools as Security and When Time Came x to Settle, Argument Arose - Court Continues

decided on a days continuance to permit the police time to investi- gate both eides of the story.
 According to the police the aforesaid Caesar Pinto loaned one Thomas Dillane a dollar and ac- cepted as security a set of tools. Later the two had an argument about the return of the tools and the dollar. Their words led to in- tervention on the part of the police and on Dillane's testimony Pinto was taken into custody for hav- ing engaged in the pawnbrokers' business without a license. It ii evidently the states contention that while Caesar could loan all the money he wished he had no busi-
 ness to accept Dillane's implements
 of trade and keep them as security against the latter's wishes.
 Both sides will have the oppor- tunity tomorrow to explain the
 details of the transaction and
 whether or not Pinto wanted more
 than the dollar in return for the tools
