was struck on the knee but not serious

AN ACT OF WAR.
Defense of Man Who Tried to Blow
Up Canadian Bridge.

Bangor, Me-, March 1s.-The claim
of Werner Horn that his attempt to
destroy the international railroad
bridge at Vanceboro was an act of
war, figured in proceedings before U.
S. Commissioner Charles Fl. Reid, here
today in connection with indictment
against him in the federal court at
Boston charging illegal interstate
transportation of explosives from New
York to Vanceboro. Counsel for the
prisoner, former Congressman Joseph
F. O'Connen of Boston, announced
that he would raise the issue of the
courts jurisdiction on the ground that
as a lieutenant in the Seventeenth
Prussian regiment of the German
army, Horn was government agent
and that the alleged transportation of
explosives was portion of an act of
war with which the state department
rather than the court should deal.
1t was expected that if the commits
sioner found sufficient cause for hold
ing Horn he would order him commit
ted to await a warrant for his removal
to Massachusetts.
Horns counsel intimated that an
adverse decision might be followed by
further proceedings to prevent the
prisoners removal from the state.

KANSAS To HELP
Gov. Capper Appoints State
Committee of Mercy.
Organization Will Raise Funds
for Sufferers i'm Europe.

Governor Arthur Capper has ap-
pointed a committee of mercy to CO.
operate with the national committee
of mercy, of which the Hon. Elihu
Root is president, and August Bel
mont is treasurer. Following is the
membership:
VIM. a; White. Emporia; "; B.
Hutchinson; E. B. Jewett, Wichita !;
J. B. Case, Abilene; Geo. w. Marble,
Fort Scott; J. E. Overfield, indie
pendence; T. NJ Potter, Peabody, and
O. L. Benton, Oberlin.
The greatest suffering among nom
combatants at present is in Serv1a,
Armenia and in that part of Russian
Poland which is behind the German
lines.
Purpose of Committee.
The Committee of Mercy was estab-
lished to succor the women and chill
dren and other innocent noncomba-
tants made destitute by the terrible
war in Europe. 1t has the approval
of the president of the United States.
1t was formed with the approval of
the ambassadors from the warning
countries to the United States. Out
side of the Red Cross, which has to
do primarily with soldiers, the Com
mittee of Mercy is the only general
committee.
1t is neutral in the sense that it
takes an equal interest in the 1nno-
cent victims of the war in Whatever
country they may be. It's work does
not tend, directly or indirectly, to aid
the financial resources of the COM
batants and so-however remotely
to prolong the war. 1t enables any
body to say what group of noncom-
batants he wants to help, and it also
enables others to follow the spirit of
the presidents policy in showing SYM
pathy but not making distinctions.
Besides relieving the sufferings of
the noncombatants of all the war
swept areas, and doing nothing to
mercy puts special emphasis on the
prolong the war, the committee of
necessity of keeping American public
opinion as spiritual and sympathetic
as possible in order to do what we
can to see that the settlement and re-
construction after the war are as ra-
tiona1 and favorable as possible.
In order to enable anybody to say
what group of suffering noncombat-
ants he wants to help, the committee
of mercy maintains specific funds for
each of the countries involved in the
war. These funds are largely invest
ed in foodstuffs and clothing and go
intact for the purpose designated by
a donors
