according to the Pally News today.
Tbe first blast of winter, which sent
the mercury down to tt last night, was

signal for a horde of vagrants to appear
upon the streets begging or seeking em
ployment, and, at night, to crowd the
cheap lodging houses and lockups.
These places were crowded last night,
but today there were few of the lodgers
about and it , was aaid that they were

ONE OF THE FRENCH "BLUE DEVILS" By their
queer costumes some of the French infantrymen at the
front have earned the sobriquet of "Blue Devils." As a
result of discarding rifles and bayonets and equipping
themselves instead in steel helmets, goggles, anti-gas
masks, revolvers and formidable knives, the modern French
soldier resembles a movie highwayman.

ANTI-TRUST LAW IS
TO BEAT WAR PLOTS
Government Considers Tiling that
Meant to Prosecute Violators
of Neutrality. '
TUBUS TO AN OLD STANDBY
WASHINGTON, Not. 15. Handi
capped by the lack ot specific laws
to protect the nation's neutrality,
the Department ot Jiutlce has turned
t oone ot its old stand by s and is In
vestigating alleged war plots with a
view to instituting criminal proceed
ings under the Sherman anti-trust
act.
The inquiry-It was learned to
night is directed particularly at plots
supposed to have been formed in
connection with efforts ot pro-Ger
man and pro-Austrian sympathisers
to cause strikes in munition plants
in the United States. The depart
ment's theory is that It there Is a
conspiracy to Interfere with the man
ufacture ot munitions It is a con
spiracy in restraint ot interstate and
foreign commerce.
Publication of notices In foreign lan
guage newspapers calling on subjects of
Austria and Oennany to quit work in
munition plants la said to have been one
of many methods employed of causing
strikes and disrupting the organisations
of plants making war munitions for the
allies.
Tbe Investigation has not progressed
fsr enough to enable officials to tell
whether Indictments can be obtained or
to develope who is at the head of the
conspiracy, It one extots.

same time unclogglng the pores. Minute
particles of scarf skin come off day by
day, causing not the least pain or dis
comfort. Gradually the healthy, younger
