Western Newspaper Union News service
Sterling, Colo.-A jury was severely
scored by Judge Hazlett p. Burke in
the District Court here when it
brought in a verdict finding the Rev
Father P. L. Sasse guilty of perform
ing an Illegal operation.
Il have never heard a verdict based
on such flimsy evidence" said Judge
Burke. and will use the power the
law gives me to set it aside. | will be

the case If the case ever comes be-
fore me again | shall decline to pre-
side over the trial"
District Attorney Irving Van Bradt
who declined to take active part in
the prosecution. said he never would
like the work of prosecuting Father
Sasse on the charge and that the
story told by J. S. Dobbs. prosecuting
witness. on the stand was entirely diff
ferent than the one he had told in con
fidence. He regretted the confidence
forbade him to tell the court the story
as he said he had heard it first and
recommended a motion to dismiss the
case
Charles l.. Avery of Denver, special
prosecutor, then said that he did not
like the case and asked relief from
further connection with it. Deputy
District Attorney John V Redmond of
Logan county made the same request.
The charges against Father Sasse,

fight within the church. The defense

Washington Former Secretary
Bryan, in the first section OF his
statement on The Causeless War,
prophesied that the greatest peace
making opportunity in all history was
certain to come TO the United States,
and declared there would be de-
mand for an international conference
with the return OF peace, to change
the rules OF international law, which
seem TO have been made for the ma
lions at war rather than for the ma
tons at peace"
Under the stress and strain of the
titanic struggle in which they are en-
gagged, Bryan's statement says. each
side has felt itself justified in en-
croaching on the rights of the neu-
trails. The ocean highways, the com
mon property of all, have been to
some extent appropriated for war pur-
poses and delicate diplomatic ques-
lions are forced upon the neutral ma
tons.
Just at this time, when these queS-
tons are most acute, the belligerent
governments are least able to deal
with them with the calmness and poise
which their great importance de-
mands
NO wonder every neutral nation is
increasingly anxious for the war to
end, but of all the neutral nations ours
has the most reason TO pray for the
return of peace-most reason to set
its face resolutely against participa-
ton in this war.
This nation, the head of the neu-
trail group, and the sincere friend OF
all the belligerents, is the duty bound
to set an example in patience and self
restraint.
In all history no such opportunity
has ever come to any other nation as
that which is destined to come to the
United States In all history no 9TH
er peacemaker has ever been in posi-
ton to claim as rich a blessing as that
which will be pronounced upon our
President when the time for mediation
comes-as come it must"
Introducing his statement, Bryan
graphically describes the horrors and
Affections of the war and says
Neutral nations cannot look on
with indifference-the ties that bind
them together are too strong; the re-
lationship too intimate. This is espe'
cially true of the United States. We
have composite population-every
nation in Europe having contributed
literally to our citizenship. These,
our countrymen. themselves born
abroad or Immediately descended
from foreign-born ancestors, cannot
but take lively interest in the con-
duct as well as in the results of the
war; and a still larger circle shares
the concern of those directly con
nected. Not soldier falls on either
side but the sorrow expressed in his
home finds an echo at some fireside
in the United States
At some length. Bryan refers to in
terruptions to neutral commerce. de-
rangement of business and consequent
establishments. and speaks of scarcity
of American ships as one of the great
est embarrassments to the United
States.
