Unexpected Surprises Promised for Hearing in Liquor Cases.

The hearings in the town court next violation of the excise laws, continued from last Saturday, now give promise of being very interesting. It is under stood that counsel is being retained by some of the defendants.

THE PEACE TRIP.

made him a national figure, has given
him a name to be envied in CONNER
cial circles of this country. And
just as he is reaching the zenith Of
his career, fool stunt is likely to
transform him into an object of ridi-
Guile throughout the world.
The much advertised peace party
of Mr.. Ford's is now on it's way to
Europe. The intention of the party
is to go to Christiania to pick up fol-
lowers, then to Copenhagen and then
to The Hague where wireless mes
sages will be sent to the soldiers in
the trenches, demanding that they
lay down their arms and go home,
on a strike against their officers-in
other words, to desert the flags they
follow
If it were not that such a demand
would likely involve this country in
trouble with some foreign govern
ment the whole proceedings would be
as ridiculous as to be funny.
The "mission' is foredoomed to be
farce and a fzzle from the begin
ming and for the sanest and simplest
reasons in the world
It would be impossible for Ford or
any other man to send a wireless
message to the troops in the trenches,
for the simple reasons that there are
no wireless stations in the trenches
to receive such a message.
No commander of troops would
permit such a message to reach his
men if a dozen stations were avail
able.
The men who are fighting for the
cause of their respective countries
are not the traitors Mr.. Ford takes
them to be. They believe in the
cause for which they are contending
and the wild vaporings of bunch OF
notwithstanding Americans will
elicit from them nothing but the ut
most contempt.
Mr.. Ford may be a big frog in
Detroit, but he will find from sad
experience that he is nightly little
tadpole in the European puddle.
The wisest thing that he can dc
is to order his ship turned around
come back to the United States, &c
to Detroit, and stay there.
The sycophantic small fry who are
trailing along in the shadow of his
millions do not count at all.
A. L. Price in the San Francisco
Call has mildly riddled the Ford peace
conference in a poem entitled "The
Dawn of Peace" The poem follows
Said Peaceful Mister Henry Ford
To War-Full Kaiser Bill,
I'd like to say little word
About the fearful i'll
Of war unto your soldiermen.
Just let me in a trench
I'll tell them they are horrid when
They fight the gentle French.
Said Peaceful Mister Henry Ford
To Russia's Warlike Gear,
I wish that you'd put up the sword
And end this dreadful war.
Just let me tell your monks straight
The war is on the blink,
And quickly they will arbitrate
And stop the war, think.
Said Peaceful Mister Henry Ford
To Gentle George the Five,
The war you rage is much abhorred,
tell you, man alive.
Just let me speak to Kitchener
And tell him what I know,
And he will beat a swift retreat
Because told him SO.
And all the kings and potentates
Said, "'Hen,' you must be right;
We never thought of all our hates
In such a gloomy light.
Just tell our men they're foolish,
~ 'Hen,'
They'll put their guns away;
Had you not come, it looks, by gum,
wo,d fought till grim dOomSday."

Of BENJAMIN F. Decker, accused OF

ment after a deliberation OF twenty
Eve hours. The Jurors stood ten to
two for conviction. according to one OF
the jurymen.
That the jury spent a hard night In
ponderlng over the large photographs of
finger prints was evident Nghen they
marched into court to ask for further
instructions from Judge Swartz, Sit
ting in the criminal court. Two jury
men asked the Judge why certain addi-
tionaI evidence had not been offered at
the trial, and said that as far as the
evidence went, It was good enough for
the commonwealth. but that Il was not
strong enough to convict a man facing
sentence Of from three to five years
The jury was discharged, and Decker
will have a new trial.

TREE At CHRISTMAS
FOR BIRDS PROPOSED

: NEW YORK. Dec. 1O--A Christmas
tree for the birds is proposed to the
children of America by the National
Association OF Audubon, Societies. here
T. Gilbert Pearson. secretary. who is
back of the idea, says the society hopes
the holiday spirit will result in a
special effort to attract song birds about
American homes. and to keep the birds
from starving. American children, he
declares, have opportunity to save the
lives OF thousands Of song birds this
winter ".. .,
Birds forage bravely for themselves
during the temperate seasons" says Mr.
Pearson. "hut In severe and ice-bound
weather they fall in great numbers
from weakness brought about by
hunger. Another cause of great fatality
among birds is that a snow crust forms
over them when they burrow to find
shelter from the biting wind, and they
cannot break out again.
THE birds Christmas tree need not
be of the regular variety. Any kind of
branch which can be attached outside a
window and to which food can be
fastened will serve to attract the feath-
cred songsters who will continue the
singing of Christmas carols throughout
the winter in exchange for a few cents
worth of suet."
Suet. obtained at any meat shop. is
said to be the best food to place on the
tree. for. while it provides the birds
with the heat and energy they need.
they are still obliged to hunt constantly
for insect food to obtain their daily al
lowance of protein or muscle forming
material. In this quest thev clear the
alternating insects and insects eggs
from trees and shrubs Small pieces of
suet should be wound on the limb or it's
twigs. the bird experts say so that no
ono piece is within a foot of any other
If this direction is observed. they say.
there will be little quarrelinR. several
birds having often been seen feeding at
once at the same window.
Mr.. Pearson will tell any boy or girl
who writes him how to attract winter
birds about the home.

MORE, SAYS CONSUL
German Official Charges COun-
try Is Hostile to FatherIand
and Predicts Exodus.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 10,-Declarins
himself dlssusted with Americas ill-
feeling toward Germany" and stating
he would be happy to return to the
Fatherland, German Consul Bopp' OF
San Francisco, yesterday predicted
general exodus OF German-Americans
after the European war.
Bopp charged that both England ana
Japan violated American neutrality,
and, in alleging Federal officials coun-
tenanced such violations, cited the fol-
lowing:
Army automobiles bought for Canada
were stored in a Buffalo aFmory; G. G.
Crowley, a detective Bopp employed,
gave him this information.
Other Allegations.
An American tug left San Francisco
early in the war to aid the Japanese
craiser Asama. stranded at Turtle Bay.
Japanese cruisers smuggled Japanese
recruits aboard after rounding them up
in Fresno and Los Angeles.
Collector of Customs Davis allowed
the converted British warship Llangorge
to overstay it's .wenty-four hours leave
In San Francisco harbor. washington
decided that because Sunday intervened
the overstay was not violation OF neu-
tralIty.
Parts of submarines manufactured by
the Union Iron Works here were snug
gled into Canada for assembling. Unit
ed States and Canadian officials in coll
lusion permitted Japanese to reach Cam
ada to re-enforce crews Of japanese
warships
Don't Like You, He Says.
Bopp also charged that United States
District Attorney Preston, of San Fran
cisco. was pro-BriCish and did not prose-
cute thoroughly the attempts of Briti''l
agents to gain recruits here.
II don't like this country any more, -
said Consul Bopp. He refrained from
commenting on President wilson's mes
sage attacking hyphenated Americans.
but hinted that the Presidents remarks
evidently were aiamed chiefly at Ger
man-Americans.
