We had pooled the money we had to buy tobacco, but you can judge how low we felt when It became known there wasn't any to buy In Brest. I We had about decided to emoka the French cigarettes, but I guess the people over here don't realize that there aren't any of them cither. There's a famine of tobacco In, France. Then the Smokes Arrire. \Well we were blue enough, I can tell J ou. To start on a voyage of eight or nine days without a cigarette ts no Joy- ful thought to a soldier accustomed to rmoke. Then the night before we sailed nlong came Tim Sun Tobacco Fund and every one of us,, was given enough smok- ing tobacco and cigarettes to last us until we saw Miss Liberty. We bright- ened up wonderfully and went on board einglng. \In the packages we found the card from Tun Suk which told ua we owed our good fortune to Hiss Breechel. There wasn't time to'wrlto to thank her, no on the way over the boys appointed rne to see her when we landed and try to tell her what we owed to her In the ray of comfort and happiness.

JACK CASEY, ARTIST, NOT DEAD, BUT HERO Surprises Now York Friends by Arrival on Lorraino With French Wife, a Baroness. WAS IN FOREIGN LEGION Newspaper 3Ion Tell of nigh Prices and Poor Transpor- tation n Franco. Jack Casey, the artist, mourned by New York frlonds two yeans ago, when It was reported that he had been killed In action with the French Foreign Le- gion, proved very much alive yesterday when ho walked down the gangplank of the Lorraino and round himself on American soil for the first time In nearly a decade. With Casey, who haa achieved a high reputation as a painter and a still higher one as a fighter In the years that have olapsed since hs turned hla bock on Broadway to study art In Paris, was hla French wife, who was Baroness Mario Aumont They were married In 1916. , Casey, who wis widely known In this country aa a newspaper Illustrator a decade ago, never relinquished his Am- erican citizenship despite his long res- idence In Pnrls. Boon after the war broke out In 1914 he exchanged his brush for a rifle and with many other American residents In the Latin quar- ter he signed up with the Foreign Legion. Of that original company of American volunteer defenders of France but a handful survive. Xtsr Death Many Times, Casey's term of service- with 04) Foreign Legion covered three and one-ha- lf years and he narrowly escaped death on a score of occasions. In the Champagne campaign In the autumn of IP 15, In which the Foreign Legion suf- fered heavy Iossok, Its was terribly wounded and was left for dead on the battlefield. Three days later he was listed as \missing\ by the French War Office and given up as having \gone west'\ by his comrades. But In the meantime a French medical party had happened upon him In the isolated spot where he lay, given him first aid treatment and placed him In a freight car bound for a base hospi- tal. It was many weeks before he again was able to take hla place In the firing line. Mr. Casey and his wife expect to re- main in this country for several months and will visit his old home In San Fran- cisco before they return to France. Frank Dallam Anions Arrival. Frank Dallam, a former New Tork newspaper man, who resigned the editor. ship of a Boeton newspaper a year ngo to as a T. M. C A. secretary, was the first man to walk down the gangplank of the Lorraine. Mr. Dallam said that only on untoward Incident marked his overseas career. One day while he was riding on a wagon loaded with plcklea for distribution among the soldiers a German shell happened along nnd absolutely ruined the conveyance and Its cargo of pickles. A slight gray- ing of the hair about tho temples was the only III effect Mr. Dallam suffered In the experience. George S. Applegartll, a Pittsburg newspaper man who has been serving as a correspondent In the field with the American Army of Occupation, was another passenger on the Lorraine. H THE SUN, TUESDAY, APRIL 1, 1919. said that, conservatively .estimating It, he would put tha number of delegates to the Peace Conference, clerks, secretaries and under secretaries and members of boards and commissions from other na tions now sojourning In Fans at 40,000,000. \Almost every American o-- there la ulrrtnlv wild to ret back home.\ said Mr. Applegarth. \I had to wait In line for five days at tho American rasspori Tiureaii to tret mv natters vised. That office la open for buslnesa only from 10 A. M. until i P. M., with two nours ore for lunch, and the officers in charge take their own sweet time about every thing, believe me.\ Mr. Applegarth said that the cost of living In Paris, especially for Americans, had rlson above the bounds of reason. \This Is due In part, of course, to con- gestion in tha city.\ he said, \but the Americans who are Buffering It are them selves largey to bamel for the present state of affairs. Every American who cams over started In to paint the town In every known huo, spending hla money with the wild abandon that only an American can achieve. \Before they got wise to themselves the canny French tradespeople had- got wise to the. with the result that to-d- you pay a stiff, monetary penalty for be-In- ff an American In Paris. They see yon coming seven leagues away.\ The Lorraine's sailing from Havre was delayed ten hours In order that a party of 340 casual officers might return home aboard her. One of theso officers said yesterday that tho party had set out from St Algnla to go to Havre, onlina-rll- y an eight hour trip, three days befora they finally arrived at their destination. \we were routed by way or Tours. Orleans and other points absolutely out of the line to Havre,\ said this officer. \The proceeding waa quite comparable to a Journey from Philadelphia to New York by way of New Orleans. The French railway system- - Is In bo chaotic a condition that I have no doubt but that we would still be trying to reach Havre had we not dug down and raised a fund of Bomo 6,000 francs to bribe French train despatchers. Time nnd again we would be stalled at some way- side crossing, facing the prospect of Indefinitely waiting for freight trains to pass. \Every man of us was dead, anxious to mako that boat and we bribed rail- road men shamelessly. They never seemed to comprehend our wishes until we waved a roll of bank notes under their noses. Then, mlrabllo dlctu, the freight trains would be sidetracked nnd away we'd go until we got into somo other train despatcher's territory, where the process would bo repeated.\ PULITZERS OFFER AIR TROPHY Competition Open to Army. Navy and Marine Filers. A trophy haa been offered by Ralph and Herbert Pulltier for annual compe- tition open to army, navy and marine aviators. Tho first contest for the trophy will be held nt Atlantic City dur- ing the aeronautic convention In May.

OVER $180,000 VANISHES Exposure Duo to Clever Work of Miss Rosalie Manning, Settlement Worker. Two or three years ago John Bozzuffl of 334 East Sixty-thir- d street operated a private bink In 1149 First avenue. In the eyes of Little Itnljv he was a great nnd honest banker and to him went hundreds of Italian Immigrants with their savings for deposit In the great man's bank, ana with money for Bozzufll to send overseas to relatives In Italy. Several hundred thousand dollars were taken Into the. bank and many other thousands were entrusted to Bozzufll to send abroad. The great banker waxed prosperous, lie purchased automobiles and became the owner of twenty-tw- o tenement houses, all- - filled with well piylng ten ants. The profits of his bank 'Beemed to bo enormous. And then one day Miss Ilosatto Manning of the Lenox Hill Settlement, talking to an Italian im- migrant, learned that although the great banker was kind enough and good enough to accept tho money for deposit there his charity ended. The bank of Bozzuffl paid no Interest. As she pursued the Investigation that this revelation started. Miss Manning learned also that thousands of dollars that had been given to BozzufTi to send overseas had never reached Italy. Principal Found to lie Missing-- . In 1914 Ml'ss Manning Interested A. Bertram Samuels, an attornoy. In Boz-xull- l's activities, nnd Mr. Samuels Im- mediately started bankruptcy proceedi- ng-) against the banker. Then It was found that ho had accepted deposits of $150,000 upon which he paid no Inter- est, and not only that, but the principal had disappeared. And later Domlnlco Bru7lnl of 213 East Forty-eight- h street complained that he had given all his savings, $1,800, to Bozzuffl to send to Italy, but that the money had never reached there. Then Bozzuffl was Indicted, the specific charge being that he had appro- priated to his own use the money turned over to him by Bruzlnl. On March, 1916, the banker pleaded guilty to at- tempted grand larceny. But Instead ot sending tho man to the penitentiary, tho court put him under a suspended sen- tence and gavo him three years In which to make restitution to the men and women who had chargel him with iH E is JL Sales are is this ml is The answer that is as so of the \easy the Not even, soft saves your Please don't It's the one Chalmers swindling them. He organized the Boz- zuffl Realty Company, with the approval or tha United States District Court, which saw in the move an apparent In- dication of tho banker's willingness to mako good his clients' losses. The company made money, and for a little whllo Bozzufll ran it ait It nhould hav been run. Then ho acquired con- trol of the corporation by exchanging promissory notes for large blocks of stock. After that his methods, of busi- ness were such that Attornoy Samuels and Mlsa Manning made another Investi- gation. They found that all of thtr money of the corporation had vanished, although Bozzuffl appeared to be proa- - pcrous, and he refused to permit Mr. Samuels to see the company's books. Ousted nnd Haled to Conrt. Then a new meeting of the board of directors was held last January and BJ-rjf- Tl was ousted. Bartholomew Brlsle of 815 East Sixty-fir- st street was made president and Miss Manning became sec- retary and treasurer. Such of Boitzufll's books and papers ns were available were Inspected by ex- perts from tho Mayor's Committee on Taxation and It was decided to again take Bozzuffl before tho courts. Yester- day before Judgo Otto A. nosalsky In General Sessions the taxation experts testified that Bozzuffl, while under sus- pended sentence, had violated the State banking laws by soliciting deposits and evidence was presented showing that he had Foltclted businesses n notary pub- lic, a steamship gent and a loan broker. From the Military Intelligence affida- vits wero obtained showing (hat Bozzufll had opposr-- the draft and that he had trafficked in Liberty bonds. Mlas Man- ning also told the court that tho man had been doing business as a notnry publlc whllo on suspended sentence. Judffe Rosalsky learned that In three years 'Bozzuffl had made no restitution whatever, but apparently had done again many of the things for which he had been tried. So the court sentenced him to State prison for not less than one year nnd three months and not more than three years and six months. 4 FLIERS KILLED; 2 HURT. Ohe Accident Occnra at Pensacoln.

PASSAIC TEXTILE STRIKE NEARS Mills Reopen on Basis of 55 Hours Pay for 48 Hours. The texllto strike at rassalo which haa been In progress for eight weeks, Is expected virtually to end y when the mills will open their gates on a schedule of flftj'-fiv- o hours pay for a forty-eig- ht hour week. The strike already has been broken at the plants of the Passaic. Cotton Mills, the Now Tork Belting nnd Pack- ing Company, the Okonlt Company and the Dundee Textile Company. These mills employ about 2,500 men and women and were running at capacity yesterday. At the Passaic Cotton Mills 1C0 strik- ers marched to the gates yesterday morning and announced that they were willing to accept the forty-olg- hour week at fifty-fo- hours pay, which had been o'fferwd by the management. Only twelve of the strikers were put to work. The remainder were paid off and told that there were no vacancies. Strike Leaders Seventy-fiv- e of the 17B strikers who returned to the Okonlt mill under similar circumstances were taken on. Two of the strike leaders who applied for re- instatement nt tho New Tork Belting nnd Packing Company plant yesterday were paid oft and discharged. With the strike broken In these four large and the return yes- terday of approximately one-four- of the recalcitrant .workers to the hand- kerchief mills, the se- rened last night that the worst was over and that they expected comparatively little difficulty hereafter. At a meeting of the striking woollen workers yesterday there was a division of opinion concerning the wisdom of returning to work on the terms offered by the which Include practically everything asked for save of the union on a closed shop' basis. Two priests, the Rev. Joseph Mnrczlnko aijd the Rev. A Haltlnger, rpoke at two meetings of the strikers, advising the workers to return y and leavo the question of union recognition to the future. Strlkr Lender Qnlta Union. Frank Terr, chairman of the strikers at the Botany Worsted Mills, resigned from the union yesteidny. announcing that he would have nothing more to ao with, the strike. Similar action was taken by several of the lesser leaders and It was noticeable that most of the speakers who addressed strike meetings had lost much of the fire that previously had characterized their speeches.. Union leaders last night-warne- their members against any attempt at vio- lence when tho mills opened Tho authorities have promised protection to nil who seek to return to work and a force of 300 special deputies has been sworn in.
