SOLDIER HAS RIGHT TO
SELL HIS 0VERCOAT
Clothes Are His own and Not Prop
crtN of tho Government.

Judge T. S. Nancy has handed down
a very interesting opinion i'm the
United States court for the western
district of Texas, at san Antonio. in
the case of the United States against
Robert Michael in which he charges
the jury to md the defendant not
guilty as charged in the Indictment.
The defendant was represented by c.
X. Brenncman.
Michael was charged with buying an
overcoat valued at $50 from a sol
der stationed at Fort Sam Houston.
The soldier was Lucillus H. Turner.
He was indicted under a statue which
provides a fine of from $1,000 to
$4,000 and imprisonment for from one
to five years for buying property of
the government from a soldier.
The question involved in the case
was whether or not the defendant
bought property of the government or
whether he bought property of The
soldier. The court holds i'm brief that
it he had bought lnOpe'ty which was
to be issued to the soldier but was
then in the possession of the United
States government his case would be
bought property which had been is
sued to the soldier and was The private
property of the soldier.
II is an offense,, however for the
soldier 10 sell mis- property and the
law, as the court constructs il i'm this
case, provides that the property pur-
by the defcndau' may be SUM
marily seized by the officers of the
government. The Court ia It's opinion
lays considerable stress upon the stat-
which provides that in criminal

there are some persons In Germany

for several years past Is at an end
and that business is on the verge
of decline. The general opinion Is.
however, that II commercial activity
has suffered check, 1t has only stop.
ped to take breath in order to make
fresh start. The setback. lfSany, Is 10
be ascribedto the tight money mnrket.
The demands on the banks have been
SO great that they have had difficulty
in accommodating their customers.
For more than n year the rates OF dis.
count have been unusually high. Cot.
eminent and other gllt.edged seciiri.
ties have considerably fallen; but his
is explained by the fact that people
think they can employ their money
better than by Investing in securiti
which Yield such a little return. Cities
and towns which formerly borrowed
at . or Sls per cent. find Il dificiilt
to place loans at 4 and AZ per cent.
The fact Is tight money. which has
been produced by prosperity, has ia
its turn acted as a curb, so that The
prosperity does not exceed reasonable
bounds and bring ruin on the business
community.
1t Is remarkable that in a great com.

Visor in pose and in stride;
Scant of their laughter and speech,
Swept by no impotent gale.
