CHINA REGARDS us.
As kINDEST FRIEND

"Chinese- sentiment in the Orient
favors Germany in the present Europ
can war. do not mean that this
sentiment il intense or demonstra.
tive but it is the general thought Of
the Chinese. at least those who under.
stand the situation. that Germany
should win" Il
This was the opinion of Rev. Robert
L. Simpkin, mic.onary to China under
the direction OF the English Foreign
Missionary Board who, is attending the
Indiana Yearly. Meeting in the East
Main Street Friends church.
The reason that the Chinese favor
Germany" continued Mr.. Simpkin. "is
because Japan Is member of the
Allies and China does not want to see
Japan in any way profit through the
close of the war
There is certain feeling in China,
too against England, which is due per.
haps to the fact that she had much to
do with Japan's entrance into the war.
Strange as It may seem in view OF
the difference In race and customs,
China regards the upited Statesaas
her best friend She looks to her III
time Of trouble and this feeling Of es-
TEEN for our country becomes more
and moro apparent, daily"

the city officials are anxiously await

A municipal victory in this case would

increase of armaqents would afford no
additional security of peace, that II
would interfere with the efforts of the
United States government to bring
about peace, would, prevent possible
permanent peace and would be de.
parture from the American ideals OF
government.
The resolutions follow:
Indiana Yearly Meetings Of Friends
assembled In it, 18th annual session,
reaffirming It's belief that war II un.
christian and therefore wrong, morally
as well a. economically. records its
sincere appreciation Of the policy OF
non-intervention which has been fol
lowed by our government with respect
to Mexico. and OF neutrality with re
spect to the warning nations Of Europe,
and pledges to the President and other
officers Of the government its enthus-
iastic support in the effort to main.
tain such position in international
affairs. ,,s..e. u
The meeting further records its be-
lief ~ ss..-~l. 81
That an increase Of ornaments in
the United States would at this time
afford no additional security for the
continuance of our peace,
That any such increase would ser.
iously interfere with the influence OF
our government in any future effort
which 1t might make, toward the term
nation Of the present war, that It
snwould retard constructive action for
the prevention of wars in the future,
# And that any such increase would
be a departure from American ideals
OF government capable OF rational
solution of international difficulties.
Resolved further NJ
That the efforts of militarists not
only to fan the flames, the flames OF
war spirit. and to increase the clamor
for military preparedness" but to con-
tinually urge through platform and
press the Introduction Of military drill
into our public schools, constitutes one
of the most subtle dangers now con-
fronting the American people. We
cannot think 1t other than the grossest
folly to expect harvest Of peace
from sowing the seeds Of war.
p Resolved, That a copy of this declar.
alton of our belief on these important
matters be forwarded by the officers
Of the meeting to the President Of the
United States, the secretary of state
and to senator's from those states In
which our subordinate meetings are
situated"

San Diego, CAL, April 1S)-The Villa
movement on the west coast of Mexico
is said to be rapidly collapsing. Quay

miles south Of Guadalajara, with many

Ruling Of Highest Tribunal
Of Nation Upholds the
Courts Of Georgia
FIGHT NOW GOING
TO PARDON BOARD
Defendant Disappointed But
Will Keep Up His Battle
to Avoid the Moose

Washington, d. c., April 19.-The
supreme court Of the United States
today decided against Leo M. Frank In
his habeas corpus case. Frank has
been convicted OF staying . girl en-
'ploye at his factory, but maintains
his innocence and has made valiant
tight for his life. His case has been
through the various channels leading
to the supreme court.
Justice Pitney delivered the opinion
of the court. He concluded by saying:
In all the proceedings In the courts
of Georgia the fullest right and op-
portunity to be heard, according to the
established modes Of procedure, have
been accorded to him."
It is believed that only the state
pardon officials Of Georgia can now
save Frank from execution for the
murder Of Mary Phagan, . factory
girl.
Justice Holmes and Justice Hughes
concurred In dissenting opinion.
Frank contended that alleged mob
violence" at his trial and the fact that
he was absent from the court room
when the jury returned its verdict had
removed him from the Jurisdiction of
the courts Of Georgia.
The majority opinion Of the supreme
court today rejected all those conten-
tions and declared Frank enjoyed all
his lega, rights In the Georgia courts.
Justice Pitney In the majority decis-
ion said the petition of Frank contains
q narrative Of disorder, hostile mani.
festations and uproar which II It stood
alone and were to be taken as true,
may be conceded to have been incon-
sistent with a fair trial and an i'm
partial verdict.
Respecting the fact that Frank was
not present in the court room when
the verdict was rendered (his pres
ence having been waived by his coun-
sci, without his knowledge or
consent) Justice Pitney held that the
presence Of the prisoner at rendition
of verdict Is not so essential a part of
the hearing that q rule Of practice per.
mitting the accused to waive 1t and
holding him bound by the waiver,
amounts to deprivation of due pro-
cess of law.
viii Keep UP Fight.
Atlanta, Ga, April 19-"I am very
disappointed over the supreme courts
decision, but will keep up the fight"
said Leo M. Frank, when informed
that his habeas corpus case had gone
against him. He refused to add to
that statement.
The mandate of the supreme court
is expected to be received by the fed.
eral district court here In few days.
Upon It's arrival Solicitor General
Dorsey probably will request that
Frank be ararigned before the Fulton
county superior court for resentcnce.

GERMANS CAPTURE
FAMOUS AVIATOR.
LIEUT.. GARRos, ONE OF MOST IN.
TREPID AIRMEN OF THE Al
LIES, in HANDS OF FOE.

Berlin. April 19.-(By wireless to
Sayville)-Lieutenant Roland g. Gar
ros, the famous French aviator, has
been made a prisoner by the Germans
at Ingelmunster, Belgium, seven miles
north of Courtraie
Lieutenant Garris is we'll known in.
the United States, having flown in
many competitions in this country.
Since the beginning Of the war he
has been among the most intrepid and
daring of the French military airmen
His latest exploit was at Dunkirk,
three days ago, when he shot dead In
the air the aviator and the observer
of German aeroplane. He went out
against this machine alone, and as his
machine was the faster he was able
to gain an advantageous position from
which he fired with fatal precision.
Two Of Garros' bullets took effect
and the German machine crashed to
earth. Both the aviator and the OBJ
server had been shot dead.
Garros was born Of French parents
at Cape Town, Union of South Africa,
in 1885. He is q graduate of the Uni
versity Of Paris and Of the law univer-
sity Of Paris and for a time practiced
his profession in the French capital.
The exploits of Garros have made
him prominent figure in aviation
circles throughout the world. He has
appeared In meets In Richmond, Chat
tanooga, Memphis, New Orleans, Dal-
las, Fort Worth, Oklahoma City, Wa
co, Houston, San Antonio, Ell Paso,
Mexico City, Vera Cruz, Havana and
New York. and holds number OF
speed prizes won at tournaments held
in many European cities.
Among the aviation records broken
by Garros were his flight made on De-
cember IL, 1912, when he ascended
to height Of 1902 feet, and estab-
lished worlds altitude mark; his
flight from Tunis to Sicily in Decem-
Der, 1912, when he travelled for dis
tance of 16O miles entirely over wat
er, and his fight across the Mediter-
ranean from st. Raphael to Bizerta.
This latter feat was accomplished by
Garros in hours and So minutes, in
which time he travelled 55S miles.
