Ashton Oldham, Rector Clinton and Livingston Brooklyn FIFTH GERMAN ARMY CROSSING THE RHINE; NINE DAYS REQUIRED (By the Associated Press.) With the American Army of pation, Thursday, November 28-Gen. von der Marwitz's Fifth Army will begin crossing the Rhine tomorrow. The crossing will require eight or nine days, according to reports reaching here. The movement is being carried out by three columns at points distant from each other. According to the German plan, men will be quartered daily at Frankfort, but accommodations for but 30,000 daily have been prepared.

Congestion at Treves is reported, resulting in units proceeding on foot toward Coblenz. It was originally planned to move the troops toward Germany by rail. At other points it is said that the roads are unable to handle the extraordinary traflic and that thousands of troops are marching eastward after waiting days for trains. Apparently the Germans are endeavoring to withdraw as rapidly as possible. Copies of a proclamation by Field Marshal von Hindenburg urging German soldiers and civilians to receive Allied troops with "resignation and courtesy have appeared in villages opposite the American lines.

The provlamation says this is the policy, in view of the fact that Germany is no longer able to make resistance against the Allies. WAITERS DISCUSS STRIKE Two thousand five hundred waiters and cooks on strike at ten hotels met this afternoon at the Amsterdam Opera House, 44th near Ninth Manhattan, to discuss the possible extension of the strike to all hotels controlled by the Hotel Men's Association of New York. More than 10,000 men and women dining room and kitchen workers would be called out by a general strike in the 100 hotels controlled by association, according to Otto Wagner, secretary-treasurer of the International Federation of Hotel and Restaurant Employees. MOORE ON FREIGHT COMMITTEE National recognition of the effective work of the Traffic Department of the Queens Chamber of Commerce is shown by the recent appointment of its traffic manager, P. W.

Moore. to the New York District Freight Committee, by C. A. Prouty, director of the Division of Public Service and Accounting of the United States Railroad Administratiop. SERVE WRIT TO FREE HUDGINGS FROM JAIL Supreme Court Order Served on Marshal Power to Produce Russellite, Jessie Fuller, counsel to the convicted Russellite leaders, this afternoon served a writ of hobeas corpus on United States Marshal James M.

Power requiring that he personally produce William F. Hudgings, secretary of the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society, in Washington, before the United States Supreme Court on December 9. Hudgings is being held in contempt of court by Federal Judge Harland B. Howe of Vermont. who committed him for contempt and had him indicted for perjury last June 11, during the course of the Russellite trial.

Bail on the perjury charge has been offered and accepted, but the contempt kept the Russellite in jail. The action of the United States Supreme Court in granting the writ forthwith, without the customary issuance of an order to show cause why the writ should not issue, is significant of the high court's impression of Judge Howe's net, gathered from the court by Mr. Fuller setting forth the circumstances on which the writ was issued. The action of the Supreme Court of the country, which may order Budgings' release on hearing of the facts, was not a surprise to those who have closely followed the Russellite case. Federal Judge Thomas Ives Chatteld has refused to try the perjury indictment and has made every effort to induca Judge Howe to lift the contempt.

The situation, if were not serious, would be amusing Hudgings 18 bound "coming and to employ up, vulgar expres. sion. It he purged himself of COntempt before Judge Howe and ad. mitted he lied on the witness stand he would be pleading guilty to perjury. Hudgings was committed after he testified he never saw Treasurer Van Amburgh or Superintendent MeMith write.

He swore that his desk was for eight years a few feet from Mellillan'8. but explained that McMillan did very little, writing. dis duties being menial. 110 WITS found in. contempt shortly after a threat of contempt was made against Russellite woman witness for refusing to identify a paper it later was admitted by the Government sho had nothing to do with.

FRANCO-BRITISH ALLIANCE RESULT OF WAR -POINCARE French President Toasts Great Britain at Dinner to King George King Lauds France. Paris, November 29-Havas)-The dinner given to King George at the Elysee Palace last night by President Poincare, the Paris newspapers clare, was one of the most notable events in the histories of Great ain and France. President P'oincare, in toasting Great Britain, recalled the agreement made between the two countries in 1904, and the efforts of both Great Britain and France to avoid war in 1914. He declared that Great Britain by her naval, military and moral ctfort during the war had added an incomparable chapter to her splendid history. He praised the work of the British Army and the efforts of the British Navy, concluding: pre-war friendship has changed into an active alliance which will find in the peace negotiations a new utility.

We have suffered together and won together, and are united King George expressed his great pleasure in being in Paris, the capital of the country, with which he and his people shared the misfortunes as well as the victories of war. He recalled the vain efforts of the Germans to capture Paris and the final triumphant campaign of the Allies under the direction of Marshal Foch. Both nations, he added, had struggled for civilization and right and had learned to appreciate each other. He hoped that the union of hearts and interests, resulting from the war, would always aid to the maintenance of peace. He paid tribute to France's heroic dead and toasted the future happiness and prosperity of the French people, PERSHING MAKING SPECIAL EFFORTS TO CABLE CASUALTIES (By the Associated Press.) Washington, November 29-General Pershing cabled the War Department today that every effort is being made to report promptly the complete record of casualties among his forces.

Reports of death are forwarded by cable to Washington as rapidly as received, he said. but as the Army is on the march there is increasing difficulty in checking casualty lists. The message, sent in reply to an inquiry from the Department, said: "All deaths are being reported by cable as fast as they are received and the reporting of the wounded in addition does not interfere with this. Due to our troops being on the march, the difficulties of checking casualty reports is increasing, but every effort is being made promptly to obtain plete reports of the dead and wounded." SHOT IN CARD ROW- -DIES Another murder was added to the growing list of such crimes in that neighborhood last night when Antonio Siso, 42 years old, a saloonkeeper of 89 Spencer was twice shot in the abdomen and died in St. John's Hospital.

The alleged murderer, Salvatore Catagiane, 35 years old, of 73 Spencer was arrested by Policeman Groh of the Vernon' ave, station, but not until he had put up desperate resistance and had been clubbed into submission. Magistrate Reynolds today held Catagiane without bail for examination December 3. The tragedy was the result of a card game. From what the police were able to learn, Catagiane went into Siso's place early in the evening and took a hand in the card game that was in progress. He gambled, lost $100 or more asked the saloonkeeper to lend him some money.

Siso refused, whereupon Catagiane declared that the card game was crooked. He demanded back his money and was thrown out of the place. Catagiane, the police say, went home and armed himself with a .38 caliber revolver. He returned to the saloon and again demanded his money. Siso ordered him out of the place and then Catagiane began to shoot up the saloon.

Siso crumpled the floor with two bullets in his body. Catagiane was locked up on the charge of homicide. Magistrate Geismar in the liamsburg Police Court held him to await the result of the investigation of the medical examiner. NEWS OF LT. McINTYRE Nelson P.

/B.R.T. DEFENSE SPIT ON RESPONSIBILITY FOR HINTED Different Lawyers Retained by Williams, Dempsey and 0thers- Company's Counsel Not Represented. Behind the imposing array lawyers who have appeared in of behalf officials and employees if the Brooklyn Rapid Transit at the John Doe inquiry to fix responsibility for the Brighton Line disaster of November 1 lies a riddie which interested public officials have so far been unable to solve. Just why special counsel should have been retained to safeguard the interests of the various officials and men of the railroad who are involved in the investigation conducted by District Attorney Lewis while the highlyexpensive legal staff of the railroad company is taking no hand in this work, has caused considerable discussion. And why, above all, should John J.

Dempsey, vice president and supermtendent of transportation of the New York Consolidated Railroad Company, the particular corporation that is civilly responsible for the disaster, as various settlements for deaths and injuries show, have a special lawyer of his own in the person of Stephen C. Baldwin, while Col. Timothy S. Williams, overlord of all the B. R.

T. companies and all the other officials, and the corporation itself, are represented by another attorney, Meier Steinbrink? Oeland Represents Blewitt, Lewis and Brody. As has been stated, former Judge Isaac R. Oeland represents Thomas F. Blewitt, division superintendent and boss of the Brighton Line: Wilbur Lewis, instructor of motorman, and Benjamin M.

Brody, the train master who testified he told Edward Luciano. or Lewis, to run the train that was afterward wrecked. Patrick I E. Callahan represents Luciano, the train dispatcher, who became a motorman at a moment's notice, and Samuel Rosoff, the guard, who along with Luciano, has been accused of manslaughter in the formal complaint on which the John Doe inquiry is based. George D.

Yeomans, general counsel for the B. R. today gave as a rea: son that the legal staff of the B. R. T.

and its susidiary companies cannot leave undone the vast amount of legal work that is constantly accumulating. The staff, which includes Charles L. Woody, Darius A. Marsh and other keen and able lawyers, has been working day and night since the Brighton line accident and a large part of the time has been devoted to handling damage actions resulting from the wreck and arranging settlements wherever possible. "Why should Mr.

Dempsey have separate legal representation while all the other officials are provided with but one attorney?" Mr. Yeomans was asked. "You would have to take that 1 with Mr. Dempsey," answered Mr. Yeomans.

Dempsey to Defend Himself. This indication that John J. Dempsey had chosen his own lawyer, rather than cast his lot with the other officials of the B. R. T.

system who are under fire in the John Doe inquiry, gave rise to a statement from a man who declined to be quoted, that Dempsey will defend himself, regardless of those above him and those below him in the B. R. T. system to make it appear that he alone was responsible for the accurate and safe operation of the road. As has been told in The Eagle the John Doe inquiry looked like a general shifting of responsibility, mostly in the direction of Dempsey, who refused to sign a waiver of immunity and said to the District Attorney he did not desire to testify.

He took this attitude in face of the fact that Col. Williams testified that Dempsey was responsible for "all things" pertaining to transportation, such as the maintenance of service and efficiency, and the testimony of Brody, trainnmaster, shifting the responsibility to Division Superintendent Blewitt, who also declined to waive immunity and testify. Lawyer Baldwin declared he would not allow his client, Dempsey, to make any comment for publication, nor would make any in behalf of his client, save to point out that an accused man has the right to engage any counsel he sees fit to safeguard his interests. And another question on a forbidden subject asked of all these lawyers: "Who is paying the fees" for the special counsel?" remained unanswered. MRS.

M. G. with which he went overseas. He was in action with that command, was assigned to the headquarters of the 78th Division and ultimately joined the 165th where he was in all the major operations of that famous outfit. In a recent letter he wrote: "The Rainbow Division is certainly getting its share of work here, and the only reason we did not get in on the latest is that we could not be on two sectors at once.

We have been in every major operation SO far and hardly had we wiped off the sweat of one battle when we were called upon to engage in another. We have been doing SO much traveling that we are now called 'Pershing's Traveling and it was said that when we are behind another division that's in, and he wants an objective and the division is not getting there, he says, 'It you don't take by there's a division behind you that Gen. Pershing said that it was a case of hell, heaven or Hoboken. Well, have been through the first, am now in the second and about the third--well, here's hoping I will be in on that, too. "The day I got mine, zero hour was at 7:40 in the morning, and I got it just twenty-five mintes later.

At zero hour the artillery barrage opened up and it was the nicest thing I ever saw to see that curtain of destruction creep along, followed by our advancing waves. Oh, but those Hun machine guns. I don't know where they are and we never see them, but the whole country is swept by them like the wind itself. We had gained onethird of our objective the day before and driven him out of the woods and we were on slightly rolling ground, with little brush, but otherwise smooth as golf links. Some tanks had just returned from action and I was gathering up some machine gun creaws scattered in various shell holes, to add to the only crews we had left out of the company, when I was knocked into a shell hole and found myself with a machine gun bullet through my left leg.

"After getting field treatment I was evacuated and several days later, after an eighteen hour ride in one of those little French hospital trains, landed here in Paris. There are only eighteen beds in my ward, but five of them were occupied by officers of the 165th. Our lieutenant colonel arrived the next day and occupies a neighboring cot. The day I got hit it was not a case if you got it, it was how you got it, as you never saw anything like the way the stuff rained at The French express themselves about us by 'You fellows get your objectives, but you don't know how to Put.

They do not know, however, whether he is dead or whether he lost them in the heat of battle. They were sent to them by a fellow soldier accompanied by the following letter.

"On the evening of October 1, found the enclosed photo and slip of paper on the battlefield near the body of an American soldier, to whom they FRANKJ.J. MOLL must have belonged. Most likely he was a near relative of yours. If so, offer you my deepest sympathy in your bereavement. The place was near a trench one kilometer cast of Konssoy.

Probably he was buried near the spot where he fell."
