FALL OF PARIS
WILL END WAR
SAYS GERMAN
CONSUL

Denver, Colo, Sept. 5.-Dr. x.
Ziegler, the German Consul here, de-
clares that he believes the Germans
will take Paris and will force peace
within year. He expects the Ger
man Zepplins to terrorize London and
quickly bring the English people to
n pcaccable frame of mind, even
though the British fleet does prevent
the invasion of Britain, so long
planned by the German war office.
DR.. Ziegler said that Denmark and
Sweden would keep the British fleet
out of the Baltic, leaving the German
fleet to take the offensive in its own
good time. He believes that Sweden
and her twin country, Norway, VIII
soon declare war against Russia and
make supreme attempt to win back
the great province of Finland, which
Russia took from Sweden so long ago.
He said that the Firms would at the
same time rebel and add second
revolution to that already begun in
Russian Poland.
"I think the Germans will take
Paris" said DR.. Ziegler, "and rest
there, for with the capture OF their
capital the heart will be taken out
. of the French people. Peace with
France then will depend only upon
the attitude of the British. i do not

McNay Now In Penitentiary,

Special to Independent.
 Little Rock, Feb. 7-John Me Way, the one-legged white man from Jefferson county, once un- der the shadow of the gallows for murder, has been transferred from the State Insane Asylum to the state penitentiary.
 It Is one of the states noted cases in the states criminal his- tory. He was convicted of the murder of J. T. Ethridge at Pine Bluff, and sentenced to hang. He became insane and a strong appeal was made to Gov. Robin son to save his life. The gov ernor went to Pine Bluff in per- son to make an investigation, and then granted a communication to life imprisonment on account Of insanity. The convict was then transferred to the insane asylum, and several days ago Dr. Green certified that he had sufficiently recovered to be re- turned to the penitentiary. Two of his brothers, Gully. and Ed McVay, who were convicted of murder in the second degree in connection with the same crime, and sentenced to twelve years in the penitentiary, are now on the state farm. John McVay is un- able to work on the farm, and will probably be given employ ment in the tailor shop.
 James Cartwright, a white man who was convicted in Faulk- ner county in October, 1909, of murder in the second degree for the murder of his wife, has also been transferred from the asy- lum to the penitentiary. He has a sentence of 21 years.
