"If you say the word i'll hand him over to the grand jury tomorrow. "If he will sign a statement that he impersonated me I'll drop the matter," Doctor Pundesen said.

In this work he met Miss Forstmayer. It was a case of love at first sight for them both. Pecause of the order against f fraternizing with German girls Smith was forbidden to marry her and take her back to the States'. 4 Smith implored his commanding officer, Maj. Gen. Le Jeune, to intercede with the State department. Le Jeune talked it over with Secretary Iiainbridge Colby. Colby finally acceded 1 v the request to permit Smith's sweetheart to leave Germany, even though we were technically "at war with Germany." said the sinister voice, "we are coming up youse a snitchcr and the Edgewater Dirty Devils jlon't stand for nothing like that; .you just wait there,' Eric, an' we'll be right up just as fast as we can come, and we'll biing them saps and clubs and brass knucks, too."

Put Mrs. Ladd had seen the Edgewater Dirty Devils In action when they met the Perkeley Dogs last summer. She got busy. Fifteen minutes later the door bell rang. And just then Officer Coombs and another cop arrived. The Edgewater Dirty Devils ran for it, but Coombs caught Marine. "What did you fellows intend to do?" asked Judge Pray. "I'm de secretary of the Edgewater Dirty Devils," said Marine, gritting Iiis teeth. "Then have the club's treasurer take care of your tine; ten cents and costs," said the court.

mayors, I. K. Merritt and VlllhSi Moore, oppose the demands. "For forty years," declares Mr. Moore. "Hoopeston's mayors have been glad to serve the people for 50 cents a year. This resolution Is litdlcatlve of the shocking state of affairs that now obtain In this country. It would be a reckless waste of money to accede to the demands. These men are dollar mad."
