YANKEES SUFFER IN FRANCE FOR GOOD TOBACCO With Supply Exhausted the Americans Must Depend l T pon*French Charity j Some sigh for this and that, My wishes .don't go far; The world may wag at will, So I have my cigar. Lucky Tom Hood. Sure he had no cause to sigh, what with his fine Havana giving forth incense divine, and probably an old meerschaum pipe all loaded and ready to follow the cigar. If Toj>i had been living in London to-day with the Hun balloons dumping tons of nitroglycerine down he would not have been disturbed. Smoking would do the trick, for hon est authorities tell us that when the bombs begin to drop in London, everybody—men and women-—take to puffing cigarets, as tjiey conduce self control. And in England they have plenty of cigarets. But think of the Ameri can Sams over In France. Nothing to smoke but low-down German cig arets. if yesterday's dispatches are correct. The French kind o' put one over on the Sams, but they did it from the best of motives. Seeing that the American tobacco was entirely exhausted, they did the best they could—gave the Tanks a big supply of cigarets which the French had captured from the Germans. "Boche smokes," they call them. They were made in Berlin, but even the Kaiser with supreme assistance could not discover what tfiey are made of. And, just think! maybe the old heathen has had this tobacco poi soned with the very object of wiping out the whole American Army! Well, don't think of that, on second thought. Think what you are going to do with that loose 25-cent;. piece that you are jingting in your pocket. And don't think long. Shoot It along. If it's all you have, and help to keep our brave soldiers from being forced to smoke Hun tobacco. The following contributions have been received by the Telegraph To bacco Fund: .

HXRRISBURG TELE6RXPH STATE POLICE ARREST GERMAN Charged With Being Alien Enemy John Alexander Is Placed in Custody Hanover, Pa., Dec. 19.—John Alex ander. a native German, was placed under arrest to-day at Blttengers Station, five miles west of here, charged with being an alien enemy, and taken to Harrisburg by two members of the state police. Alex ander will probably be interned until after the war in accordance with a recent proclamation by the Presi dent. On various occasions, while under the influence of drink, Alex ander has expressed himself rather freely as to where his sympathies lay in the war. Alexander has had a checkered ca reer, according to his own story,, often told when he was mellowed by drink. He claimed to have an Amer ican wife, who is now in Germany. The story he told was that he came to America about eighteen years ago, got married and returned to his na tive land. It was while there, he al ways intimated, 'that he committed some crime and fled the country, re turning to America byway of Asia. This, he claimed, was five years ago, and that he came directly to Bltten gers, where he secured employment at the stone quarries, where he has been employed since. Several weeks ago a hundred pounds of dynamite were stolen from the quarries, which was never re turned. Residents of this section have since been fearful as a result and the assistance of the state police; was requested. One of their number came here and under guise of being friendly to Alexander, became his confidante. This led to his arrest yesterday. Alexander is about 50 years old.

A fire escape blocked by snow or covered with Ice is In most cases as bad as no fire escape at all." That is the warning issued to-day by Acting Commissioner Lew R. Pal mer, of the Department of Labor and Industry, who has notified all in spectors of the department to order ice and snow removed from fire es capes in all sections of Pennsylva nia.

If a catastrophe should occur from fire and it could be shown that the fire escapes were impassable owing to a blocking of any kilid, the owner would be liable to criminal prosecution.
