MOUNTA|NEER MOONSAIN-
ERS To STAND TRIAL
IN j. s. COURT

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 25.-The new GUS
tom house in Atlanta next Monday will
shelter a queer-looking throng, mostly
tall mountaineers from the north Of
Georgia, whitened by months in vari-
GUS tails. For Monday is the beginning
of 'Moonshine Week" in the federal
court, and more than $50 makers Of
mountain dew and white lightning are
to explain to Uncle Sam why they ran
their stills without license.
Cherokee county heads the list with
81 defendants, while Gilmer has "a,
Union IS and Gwinnett &c., while 9th
ers are scattered among a dozen coun-
ties.
Moonshining has been greatly in
creased under the prohibition law, for
a blind tiger" had as soon risk selling
wildcat" liquor as any other, and he
can buy it more cheaply. On the other
hand, there is more money in moon
shining now than ever before, and the
revenue agents have had the busiest
year of their career.

War.Making in the Dark.

Asking the question, Can Europe
ever again tolerate the appalling peril
of secret diplomacy" the CONCLUSION
of the London Daily News is that "the
example of the United States must
hereafter become the model of the
civilized world"
1t is early in the present struggle to
begin balancing the books, but one
such expression as this gives us an ac-
curate forecast of some of the accounts
that are going to be settled, not by
kaisers and kings, but by the people
when peace shall have been restored.
Monarchy has always sneered at
American diplomacy as of the shirt
sleeve variety. Because it was open,
direct and honest, it was pronounced
uncoth. Because it refused to engage
in intrigue, it was held to be deficient
in skill. Because it kept faith, it was
pityingly regarded as maladroit. But
the worst of its offenses has always
been publicity.
The war now raging in Europe is the
diroc+ racul+ Of rova1+v'c canrat diDloO,
acy. For a generation past the great
ornaments there have been falsely
represented as making for peace,
when we. all know now that they were
making FOR war. Everything relating
to SUP yeme governmental policies has
been gecret except the existence of the
colossal war machines and the crush
ing taxes which have sustained them.
In this way the censorships of peace
! have been almost as drastic as the con-
sorships of war A handful of men in
each country knew what was going on.
Hundreds Of millions who are now ar
rayed against each other in battles as
secret as the diplomacy that led to
them had no more knowledge of the
true situation than their relatives at
home have now whether fathers, sons
and brothers at the front are alive )r
dead.

plomacy is to exalt democracy.-Th

''Fatherly" One

Counsel for Frank Bentley, former
banker and postmaster of Bentley,
Mich, now wealthy real estate man
of Highland Park, In an opening state
ment before Judge Hally, Tuesday
morning. declared to the jury that II
would be proven that the $4,000 suit
brought against Bentley by Mrs. Di-
ana Malotte, 81 years old, was a
scheme planned for the sole purpose
OF extracting money from the defen-
dant.
I'VE will show" said Bentley's law
yer, that an attorney called on
Bentley the very first morning after
he is alleged TO have assaulted her,
demanding money, and threatening
him with public scandal and disgrace
TO his family II he did not pay.

interest In Mrs. Malotte was OF a
fatherly nature. He knew her when
she played the plano in theatei he
owns In Highland Park. He wanted
her TO broaden out and become a

for his interest. and encouraged him
to attempt TO sell home in Detroit

place. He passed her home one
night, dropped in to visit and IL was

break up my home After saying
these words, we will prove that the
husband demanded money
Bentley maintains that he never
spoke an insulting word TO the de-
PENDANT. He says he called her by
her first name often, because while
she worked at the theater she let no
one know she was married.
Mrs. Myrtle Currin. at whose home
the Malottes lived. testified at the
morning session, that there was much
laughter in the Malotte's rooms after
the episode which ended in Bentley
rushing hatless from their home, pur-
sued by Malotte.
Il heard Mrs. Malotte say that she
had TO laugh so hard when she saw

authorities have banned all-night
Christmas celebrations in the restau-

Some of the great hotels where all

now temporary hospitals, and work
rooms. The renowned Abbey is a

poor midinettes are exhibited
Everywhere on the boulevards last
night was an air OF cheerfulness. The
stores were gay, though customers
were less numerous. Martial toys
practically exclude all others. Fav-

appraised bayonet and German infan.

a toy gun. Fakirs behind tiny tables
sell small cannons, lead soldiers,
miniature tents and other war-like
toys. In the stores soldier kits and
uniforms are displayed for the kid
dies. The shop windows almost with.
out exception suggest war. Most Of
them show battlefieids.
Male dolls have now come into
their own. Riddles don't seem to want
the feminine daintiness. Children
crave the sturdy-looking French sol.
dier dolls--or the British khaki-clad
toy, or the Belgian infantryman. But
most popular OF all are thy iierce look
