When two district patrolmen found a gambling game in progress at 19)4 'Vest Ohio street early last Sunday, they did not endeavor to raid the game but waited to report It to Sergeant Way land E. Sanders. Sanders testified to this in city court yesterday afternoon in the cases of Harry Evans, charged with keeping a gambling house, and four ,men charged with gaming and visiting a gambling house. Sanders led the raid on the game several hours after the policemen found it. He said the district patrolmen waited for his assistance, when the attorney for Evans asked why the district patrolmen did not make the raid when they found the game. The four men pleaded guilty to charges of gaming but Evans denied he was in charge of the place. Sanders testified that Gus Rahke lived at that place until he got married. Evans said a man named Cummings lived there and he explained how the men who were gambling happened to be there by saying he took them there to use a telephone. When asked if l^ knew whether any money had been lost' in gambling in the place, Sanders said he understood one of the four men had lost $270 a few nights before the raid. “Blind Tiger” Charge Dismissed. Each of the four men was fined $5 and costs and Evans was fined $10 and coats. A charge against Evans of running a "blind tiger” was dismissed w r hen Sanders failed to give testimony to sustain the charge. Sanders said he found tw'o dozen bottles of beer and several bottles of whisky in the place, but that nobody claimed ownership. Evans testified that he and several other men had bought the beer to use Sunday, and that Cummings was keeping it for them. Sanders did not say whether Gus Rahke had any connection with the place now. It was recalled that several months ago Frank Duncan, a city detective, who was working out of Chief Perrott’s office, had a case in city court in which this place figured. Duncan arrested a man in the place on a charge of vagrancy and testified that the man was a “runner" for race track gambling. Duncan testified that he had heard the man giving out information over the telephone in Rahke’s place about the races, but he did not explain why the police had not arrested Rahke. who had charge of the place. In the raid Sanders made on the place, "dope" on horse races was found and Sanders was of the opinion the place was being used as a race poolroom. In Sanders’s District. Sanders is the police sergeant in charge of the downtown district in which constables have made raids on gambling games which the police did not molest. The most recent raid in Sanders’s district was that on a gambling game in the basement of the Frank Lux saloon made by constables under the direction of Alvah Rucker, county prosecutor, and Claude Worley, investigator in the criminal court. Constables also recently raided several resorts in West Ohio street in Sanders’s district. In the case of Stella Fultz, whose house was raided by constables last Friday night, Sanders got busy the following night and raided the same place. Sanders announced after the recent election that he was going to “clean up” his district. Why the police did not molest Gus Rahke’f place until after Rahke had left it has hot been explained, although the tAtimony of Frank Duncan, city detective, in city court, showed that the police had evidence that the place was being used as a gambling resort.

PEOPLE S OUTFITTING C° f 133-135 W.WASHINGTON ST.

AMSTERDAM (via London), January 19.—'The Cologne Gazette, commenting on the note of Arthur Balfour, British secretary of foreign affairs, says “the note is a falsification of history apparently aimed to wipe out the bad impression made in large circles of Americans and neutrals by the entente’s rude reply to President Wilson. Naturally Balfour suppresses the fact that England possesses a world empire which certainly was not brought together by peaceful means. He suppresses the fact that a ring was drawn around Germany which was designed to exclude us as far as possible from the distribution of colonial territory still to be disposed of. He invents for this purpose a story of Germany’s lust for world empire without giving the least proof of his charges. “We now know r exactly the aims of the entente and our answer will be by deeds. We do not want peace such as they offer, not even by neutral mediation. We ourselves will secure such a peace. Our sword will prove stronger than their lies.” The Cologne Volks Zeitung says: “Our reply to English arrogance, distortions and menaces must be the sword and torpedo. Then the British •will abandon writing notes and the world will be freed from the covetous tyrant who has too long been allowed to stretch his arms around the earth and who for centuries has not shrunk from wicked and inhuman means to satisfy his lust for power and expansion." DO NOT FAVOR PROPOSAL.

Spirituous Liquors Barred From Military Zone in France

HAZEBROUCK, France, January 19.— Traffic In spirituous liquors has been prohibited by the military authorities in the zone occupied by the army. The decree announces that the step has been taken because of a recrudescence of drunkenness in the zone, involving dahger to the health of the troops and the civil population. Both civil and military authorities had complained of the scourge as a hindrance to the development of production required for the national defense. It was the unanimous wish of the patriotic population of northern France, the decree asserts, to have the tratfie restricted as the only effective means of fighting alcoholism.

German Embassy Officials Discuss the British Plan for World Union. WASHINGTON. January 19.—The reference in the British supplementary note to President Wilson to the necessity for some form of .international approval behind treaty agreeanents and international law- drew from German sources here an authoritative statement that Germany, under no consideration, would enter a league to preserve peace, if she should emerge from the war much more greatly damaged than her enemies, i’he central powers were represented as believing that the proposal to esUJdfeh such a league at the end of the rrar cam not be realized if the ultimate re mlt of the conflict is such as to permit a completely victorious set of belligerents to impose its own terms on the vanquished. Germany, it was said.\in making it clear, that the German empire stood ready to enter into a league, presupposed that the present war would result in a peace which all parties concerned would regard as just and fair, which would not be the case if the entente ever should be in a position to Impose as terms the objects stated In its note to the President. ^ Some officials here see in the British note an Invitation to set on foot a movement for the establishment of a world league to become effective after the war, and thereby aid in p&ving the way for ending the present conflict. Comment in Europe on the subject will be watched

with great interest.

No separate reply is expected to Great Britain's supplemental note. No formal statement on the subject Is regarded as necessary at this time, and it has not been decided what shall be the next move on the part of the United States.

In many commercial centers of the United States, retail stores have dispensed with the "policy” of quoting comparative prices In their advertisements. This Is due solely to the present high cost of things which makes it necessarp to sell all articles at their Intrinsic worth.

The sixty-one stores of tho Borland organisation are doing the biggest business in ths history of their exlstence-because ws print in our advertisements the frank and autbori> tative fact that we sell high grade shoes for men and women for ONE to THREE dollars less, and how we make this possible.
