Eatons Will Have
Their Inning In Court,
Wednesday

With the positive testimony OF
County Physician Albert l. French
that the Impoverished condition
which resulted In the death OF ~
year.old Ethel Eaton was due TO i'm

admissions made by the defendants

the peoples case against Arthur b.
and Lottie c, Eaton. charged with
Involuntary manslaughter. in Judge
Gainey's court. Monday. The de,
Tense will have It's inning. wednes-
day afternoon.
Attorney T. l. Dalton sought TO
show on dissemination Of DR..
French that malnutrition might be
caused by n wasting disease. but his
questions only brought the most
positive assertion that the Eaton
girls case was plainly case Of
gnder-feeding.
Miss Alice NJ. Devoe. who had
been Ethel's teacher In the Hillger
school, testified that she had been
on TIE point OF calling The attention
a. the school physician TO Ethel
when the girl Was obliged to discon-
tinne her school work on account

came from the Paris newspapers.
Dispatches from Paris. however. re
ported that one edition Of the Temps
was suppressed for using the word
blockade" in describing the British
decree.
All the morning papers were posi-.
tive that neutrals would make strong
Representations 10 the British gov
eminent They were equally posi-
tive that the government would not
back down from its position. They
took pains TO point out that except
In certain Instances neutral cargoes
would not be conhscated. but that
their owners would receive the pro
ceeds OF their sale.
The Chronicle. however. expressed
some concern over that clause In the
decree providing that neutral ship
which accepted a pass permitting
her TO discharge her cargo at a neu-
trial or allied port. and which then
entered a German port, would be liza
able to confscation on a subsequent
voyage. The Chronicle pointed out
that this was In contravention OF all
principles OF international law.
1T would open an obvious door for
the gravest controversy said the
Chronicle. IF. say. an American or
Spanish OF an Italian ship were thus
dealt with by the allies. for. though
such a ship would be blockade run
ner in the old sense, and. so, liable
to confcsation. II must be remem-
bered that the old law confined this
liability to cases where the ship
was caught in the act and never ex-
tended II to subsequent voyage"
The Morning Post severely criti-
cised the government The Post ad-
mitted frankly that II did not under
stand the decree Particularly II
criticised the governments promise
70 return to neutral shippers the
yalue OF cargoes taken into port
characterizing this as halfway
Measure.
The Paris Temps was positive
hat no III feeling would be engen-
dered in America. and that the allies
would he able 10 explain away
Americas objections. Other Paris
papers insisted that the German sub
marine warfare was sufficient justi.
ncstIon for the allies course.
