By Karl H. Von Wiegand AT THE’ HEAD- QUARTERS OF THE GERMAN CROWN PRINCE'S ARMY IN FRANCE, via London, Nov. 20.—Here, in the forest of Argonne, where the German crown prince has his headquarters as commander in chief of the kaiser’s Fifth army, is found probably the most remarkable fighting in all the long battle line from the coast to Switzerland. By the crown prince’ ion I aday his lines. At some places the foremost Ger- man and French trenches are with- in 160 feet of each other. Not more than 1,500 yards sep- arate the main lines. They ex- tend through the forest, where there has been desperate fighting.

When I reached the foremost trenches I saw that their German occupants were fighting the French not more than 160 feet away.

FAT MAN ‘SUES THE LIBERTY Attorney A. J, Speckert, weighing over 200, and being, | by his own admission, “fat and | fleshy,” does not approve the idea of “being mashed, squeez- ed, jammed and pressed against | the wall.” | He therefore has filed a complaint | to stop the new Liberty movie the atre from selling tickets unless it |can furnish seats immediately. Speckert’s complaint makes the mayor, police chief, fire chief and marshal, and other city officials, co- defendants with Jensen & Von Her- | berg, proprietors of the theatre, and claims the fire protection ordi- nances are not being observed. He objects to placing entire reli- ance upon female ushers in cases of panic or fire, and wants the “Stand- ing Room Only” sign displayed when all the seats are occupied. For being crowded and jammed Saturday evening, Speckert de mands $100 damages and an injun- tion to bring about the impreve- ments he suggests. Except for the few things he men- tioned, Speckert says the Liberty theatre “would be a haven of rest and a place of amusement for the- atre-loving people, and a paradise for the poor.” BETTING 10 TO 8 ON /—WARVARD ELEVEN NEW HAVEN, Conn,, Nov, 20.— Weather may change the aspect of \the Harvard-Yale football game to- }morrow.
