And he is Some Kid
He weareth a lid of Fuzz and the
Bow thereof is cute and followeth on

Yea, he looketh like one thousand

seemeth.
For, behold, he meeteth at the

PROHIBITION NOT PLANNED.
British Government Expected to Re
duce Hours for Obtaining Drink

LONDON, April 23.-That the British
recourse to prohibition in dealing with
the drink question was inferred from
Premier Asquith's statement in the
house of commons last evening. when
he said that Wednesday or THURSDAY
next the chancellor of the eXchequer
David Lloyd George, would bring for
ward proposals for dealing with the
limiting of facilities for drinking"
The prime minister's remark was gen.
orally interpreted as meaning that the
hours during which drink would be OBJ
tainable in the public houses would be
considerably curtailed throughout the
country and not merely i'll the areas
where munitions of war are manufac-
tured.

JURY IS TO DETERMINE
HARRY THAW'S SANITY
Supreme Court Justice Hendrick of
New York Grants Applica-
tion for Trial.

NEW YORK, April 23-The question
OF the sanity Of Harry X. Thaw will
be determined by a jury. Supreme
Court Justice Hendrick. in a decision
handed down today, granted the ap-
plicaton for trial made by Thaw $
attorneys on writ of habeas corpus
Justice Hendrick set the date of the
trial for MAY Il.
Thaw was in court when the Justice
announced his opinion. His face at
once lighted up with pleasure. His
attorneys. friends and others in the
courtroom rushed to congratulate him.
and he was kept busy for nearly half
an hour shaking hands before he was
taken back to the Tombs
Good News for Mother He Says.

he told newspaper men, that's all
want to say for publication.
The moot question which Justice
Hendrick had to decide was whether
the court had power to grant a Jury
trial. He held after a study of the
authorities that he did have such power
and has decided to exercise it.
He pointed out in the decision that
the jury was called in ITO aid the court
by their advice. and that the finding
of the jury would not be binding if the
court was satisfied that il was not in
accordance with the evidence and with
justice
The court. he said. could disregard the
jury's verdict and render his own de-
cision.

ZONES for peace, it is said. Which ever
eide is defeated, regardless of its pres
ent views, will want the moral help of
the world, the United States included.
The President does not expect to pose
rs the protector of the under dog or to
seek to take away from the Nictors
the things that may fairly be their own
right to demand and receive. But there
will be problems fully as important as
these upon which the greatest neutral
country in the world will almost surely
be consulted.
Some sort of an agreement among
the nations of the world to forever
cast aside war is believed by close
friends of the President 70 be greater
In his mind than the wrangling that
