London. March ia great hue and
cry has been raised about trying for
murder the crews Of German subma-
rines which have torpedoed merchant
men. The popular clamor has been that
this course should be followed, and
by segregating the crew of the US re-
Gently captured, the admiralty init
mated that conviction would be sought.
But, in the opinion of Sir Herbert
Stephen, it would be irregular and il
legal.
First" says Sir Herbert, las to the
allegation that these prisoners are
murderers. You can not commit muir
der without killing somebody, and 1
am not aware that these prisoners or
any of them have ever killed anybody.
Il am practically sure that they have
not done so within the jurisdiction of
the central criminal court j. e., in Eng
land or within three miles Of the coast,
and if so they could not be convicted.
Piracy is not in itself capital of
tense. The definition. in English law,
of piracy, is extremely vague, but this
much is certain that all definitions Of
it hitherto assayed have obviously re-
ferred to matters occurring during
peace and not warlike operations.
The writer adds that if empowered
to act by parliament the authorities
could doubtless do something very
appropriate and impressive to the pris-
oners of the US, and I daresay it
might be deserved; but if it were done
it would have to be thru some kind of
court martial"

Pitchoune repaid what was given

He did not think that by getting

Of his life to distinguished limp in

was expected of him. He developed
an ecstatic devotion to the captain,
impossible for any human heart ade-

not follow him, took his place on
chair In the window, there to sit, his
sharp profile against the light his
pointed ears forward, watching for tho
uniform he knew and admired extrav-
agantly.
Pitchoune was . thoroughbred, and

There was never another invitation!
"Voyons, mon cher" his colonel
had said to him kindly the next time
he met him, what stupidity have you
been guilty of at the Chateau d'Escli-

Poor Sabron blushed and shrugged
his shoulders.

"that did you harm there without

to do SO. He made very insufficient

A Session of District Court.

Judge John N. Sandlin of Minden was
here Monday and Tuesday to hold a
nonjury term of Bossier District Court.
But few criminal matters were disposed
of.
The charge against Roy Mosby, OF
Plain Dealing, for retailing intoxicating
liquors without license, did not hold,
and tho case was mol prosed.
The reader will remember that at the
February term of the Court Corby Allen,
Tillman Demoss and Allen Richards
(the last named colored) were given
sentences of four months each, and to
pay all costs, for selling intoxicating
liquors without license, and Robert Bell
was given like sentence on charges of
carrying a concealed weapon and dis
charging it in a public place. Tuesday
their sentences were suspended and their
release ordered.
Robert Minis, negro charged with
retailing intoxicating liquor without
license, was not tried. His case was
fixed for the 18th.

Mr.. and Mrs. Newman Larkin of
Shreveport spent Saturday night and
Sunday here as guests of Mr.. Larkin's
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Larkin.
Mrs. Matte Adair, her daughter, Miss
Matte, of Shreveport and Miss Mamie
Spurlin, of Cotton Valley, spent Sunday
here as guests at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Ed Logan. One of Mrs. Adair's
sons. Mr.. Newman Adair, is now perma-
nently located in Benton.
Mr.. T. B. Whitfield left Sunday for
Gonzales, Texas, where he will be en-
ployed in making an abstract index of
the records of Gonzales County. Mr..
Whitfield is native of that State, but
has several times had employment in
our town and has a number of friends
here.
Because of big wash-out in the main
line OF the Cotton Belt, at Garland City,
Ark, Monday and Tuesday all trains
OF the main line were operated over the
Lewisville branch, by way of Shreve-
port. The added traffic gave this branch
Of the Cotton Belt rather business-like
appearance.
Many old friends residing in Benton,
Alden Bridge and this section of Bossier
Parish will be pleased to learn that Mr..
R. G. Dowell, for some time past located
in Mansfield, has been named as super
intendent of the Mansfield Railway and
Transportation Company. In it's last
weeks issue, in speaking of Mr.. Dow
ellis promotion, the Mansfield Enterprise
says: "Mr. Dowell has long been con-
nected with the company, and his new
duties will be entirely familiar to him.
While we extend our congratulations to
the company for thus honoring worthy
and competent man, it is specially graf
flying to the people and business men
of Mansfield that Mr.. Dowell is to have
charge of this road, as it is the strongest
rod upon which the prosperity of Mans
field must rest.''
The stage of Red River at Shreveport
last Thursday was t6.5 feet. Yesterday
it was 1913 feet, Indicating a rise of q
feet since Tuesdays report, and it is
still rising. From yesterdays official
report we takd the following: "The
rise will continue at Shreveport for four
days or more. A. stage of about 27.5
feet is already indicated. The highest
ftatge is uncertain" Yesterday the
| waters of the river flooded its banks al
the Stinson place, near. Benton. An
| abandoned State levee on this place
having given away run around is nov
| being constructed, but it is feared that &
large acreage surrounding Clear Lake
will go under. This would flood lands
of Mr.. T. W. w. Stinson and Mr.. ]. M
Sentell. Other threatened points are a
the Lassiter place and Gold Point, al
within few miles distance.
