The new British import regulations are not intcr.'l d as a discrimination against the United States, inasmuch as they i apply to all nations, the United Press was officially informed today. ! "I believe America misunder- ! stands the import regulations which are effective March 1," said K. E Kntljoven. controller of the depart ment of import regulations of the board of trade. "It is not intemled as an embargo, but as a resumption of war time control to enable the government to keep tab on the character of imports until 1 iriti "i industries return to peace conlitions and the government works out i permanent trade I olicy. 4 There is every reason to believe trat American products will be admitted on a ration basis, under the license system.

Oil 0. S. FIGHTERS Knights of Columbus Deliver Smokes to Soldiers by Aeroplane. I NEW YORK. ' Don't touch anytiling, not even the dead body of a comrade you may find In "No M-xn's L-'nd,' " Is the substance of orders always received by American soldiers just before they went over th top. Fiendish ingenuity of the Hun madi; this order necessary because the Hermans are adepts in -setting traps in the way of bombs, shells, lo!-'on, etc., to ensnare our men. Hundreds of Incidents are related where men lost their lives by disregarding these precautionary orders. W. I. r.aw, of Clinton. Mass., who foupht as a member of the Twentysixth division at Chateau-Thierry and liter helped Iron out the Hun salient at St. Mihiel. l elates how tha safciruarding order was disregarded by himself and thousands of other men and "sot away with it." "Wt were awaiting the signal to 'go over' near St. Mihiel and the American barrage was raising particular hell with Heine when, to our surprise, down from the clouds came thousands of packs of cigarettes, each pack labeled 'Knights of Columbus.' They fell in 'No Man's Land' at lirst and, althoun we were fairly dying for the lack of something to smoke, we remembered the order 'touch nothing. "We finally glimpsed the aeroplane over us from which the Knights of Columbus smokes were falling and we then knew or at least thought we knew it would be safe to tackle the cigarettes. We all arrived at tnis conclusion about the same moment and I tell you there was a lively scramble. If there was a Hun trick back of this unusual shower, we were goners, but we decided, were we to die, we would go smoking a K. of C. cigarette. For two hours, and over miles of ground where our boys were liRhtIn,;, cigarettes kept falling from the clouds and they kept gathering 'em up. It was great service, and th Knights deserve credit for conceiving the plan and great credit for putting it over. " BERRIEN SPRINGS, MICH. Mrs. W. F.

Chief Kline Arrive. Soon after the assistant chief and his detail had begun the work of tearing out the bar fixtures In the j Elliott plac. Chief Kline arrived on ; the scene. The chief was an Interested spectator, but refrained from making any comment. All 6f the fixtures in the BUlott i place, with the exception of the big bar in the rear, were torn out.

Mayor Carson had very little to pay following the raids. Tie declared he had been trying to get evidence on these places for a week past, hut it was not until he receix'ed the letter from Pros. Schwartz that his police department took any action against either Meyer or Elliott. Wednesday morning two young men told openly In city court that they had purchased whisky from Clarence Elliott, and that they had paid 25 cents a drink for the liquor. , It has been a common conversational topic for months that whisky could he purchased at either place, but not until Pros. Schwartz put it squarely up to the mayor to either rid the city of bootleggers or confess the inefficiency of the police department did the mayor act. His action Saturday is looked tipon by citizens generally as evidence of willful neslect upon the part of the administration in the past, and some citizens even po so far as to suggest connivance upon the part of the police with open violators of the law. Owl Not Molested. Although it has been charged from time to time that Barrett's Owl saloon on Center st. has been a mecca for those seeking liquor, the Owl was not molested, and at a late hour the lights there were burnbrightly.

ill in unmuui Lnuu (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.) U therefore in order. It was neither u Sta! in the hack. as the mayor labeled It, nor a Jap in the fav," ns we have said, but rather a good. Miff kick, wliere somelwHly needed it, to effect miik? kind of anion. It brought the inhn, at least in preten.se, the i f.io of the moment, however, no doubt lelng caJ"ulatd to act as a blind, or a etirtain, over another few weeks of related dereliction. Hut not how well the plaees raided were picked and other places that should liave Ieen raided as well, wore molded. Take ttiat more or less "gilded liell on Center sL, the literal wholesale dliensury of the entire downtown dlMriet. Will pomeono please explain bow the limbs of the law managed so well to miss it, and along with it, one of two others, with proprietors close to tlie administration? However, let this iass for the present, and explain if iMsibk liow the iolico came to regard the Myers and lUliott ivsorts o suddenly vlcloiK. Then' can he no other answer than that what lias !een known to many others lias also lneii known to the officers, anil no doubt known for weeks. The. prosecutor's letter eominced these officials, apparently, that to save their dearer friends, they must needs pluck a couple more "goats;" tlmt the public would need to le tainouflaffed ngaln, and that the hammer and crowlnir liavlng served once, that purixjse, well, why not again? There are other ways of going at this thin, decently and in good order, and getting rid of these Ixiot-iogglns Institutions, and quite as effectively, and without so much sficctacularity and parade. It .sounds hl we admit, these Carrie Nation performances, and if of fleers would not net, a Carrie' N'atlon would Ih justified in doiii so, as was the basis for her actions. She didn't do it, however, all for splurge. The mayor must kcp up his good work, and not shop until the last drink emporium disKnslng booze lias suffered the same fate as Coffey, Myers and Klliott, if he wants the public to have faith in his sincerity. There must he no more advance notices as dealt out lefore, to be made the Ikisis of injunction cases. ; the injunction cases then to leeome the excuse for stopping with the notice. Not a law violator in South Bend .today, but knows his status, and there Is no longer excuse for leniency. If "direct action" methods are to le the icy, and the mayor thinks he can get by with It, well and good, but then let him keep at It and showno more favorites. The protected "blind-tiger" must go, as well as the unprotected. The process of secretly licensing certain of such derelicts, if that lias been the process, must stop, and as we take it, Irosecutor Schwartz. letter, or the contents, or intent, are not withdrawn, nor will they le withdrawn because of any such little "flash in the pan" as was put on Saturday evening.

58,143 AMERICANS KILLED III BATTLE

No Data as to Wounded or Deaths Except Resulting From Sattle. (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONG.) I total of 14,649 men missing In action, and 2,7 S3 known prisoners, j makintr up the 17,434 missing or j captured. The appended statement shows that the army rolls record 4,9 is American military prisoners accounted for. Admittedly, there are many possibilities of error but the statement says it Is anticipated that th indicated unaccounted for list of I2,51f) will be brought "down to less than 10.000." The table? do not furnish any data as to the wounded or deaths other than those resulting directly from battle. A new estimate of the complete flguren on American casualties is therefore not possible. It is fde:nlficant. however, that up to tonicht. the war department has published the names of 43.SS2 men killed or died of wounds, as against "9.1ÖS shown in the 9 5 per cent table?. The difference in made up by additional returns since the table were closed Jan. 10. On Nov. '21 Gen. Perching estimated that his total killed and died of wounds would be 40,433. Presumably publication of the lists of these known deaths and exclusive of the unaccovtnted for is nearly completed, having exceeded the estimate by more than 2,000, due in part, to additional deaths from wounds, and to the listing as dead of men formerly reported missing". The names of 14 9,418 wounded had been published up to tonight, compared with a November estimated total of 189,935. Of those missing in action, 11.C76 have been published against the estimated 14,260 total and compared with the 17,4 34 missing and prisoners shown in today's tables.
