 If l have a correct recollection he said a distinguished statesman of Italy sad that his country had been invited to join Germany and Austria ia making war on Serbia and she had refused because it was d war of az Sression.
 When Austria sent it's note tn Serbia and the latter country yielded 10 all the demanus except one and pi this point offered 10 submit to the judgment of The Hague, Austria de- clared war on Serbia and, MItn Ins- sanction of Germany, precipiated | war for which it long had been pre- pairing.
 Tt has been said that the warning nations are fighting for the same oh- iect-the protection of weaker nations. put none Of you would regard the ac- tion Of Germany toward Belgium and Serbia in that way. When the ulti matum was presented to Belgium, Germany gave that nation the alter native or going to war with her or with France and all honor to her for thee hoice she made

PAPER HEARING
 QU|TSFOR TIME
[Resuhiican A. p. Leased wire1

KeGupllCdn A. F. Leased WlreI | WASHINGTON. Dec % - Public hearings in the federal trade commis- sion's news print paper investigation will be resumed Friday, December 29. The commission announced today that phases of the situation not completed at the previous hearing would be taken up including reasonableness of prices, cost of manufacture and jobbers' profits.
 Tt is hoped" said the announcement. that plan will be devised which will prevent the suspension of publications now dependent on the open market for their paper supply It is also expected that information being collected now will throw much light on the problems" :"
 Resumption of the hearings, it was explained. does not necessarily mean the failure of news print distribution plan proposed last week by the manu- lecturers under which the larger pub fishers would share paper they have bought on contract for 1917 needs with small publishers who buy in the open market.
 Committees of the interests con cerned now are cooperating with the trade commission, in accordance with an agreement reached after last weeks hearings, to assist the extent of next years paper needs and the probable output of the mills. In the proposed distribution plan small publishers would be supplied with paper at the average price sold all customers.
 Information collected by the trade commissions investigators concerning profits and costs of paper manufacture presented at the last hearing but not taken up at length after the distrbu- tion proposal was made. will be gone into at the new hearings.

 Clearly then the horse race, .he tickets sold. the pooled funds in the accused hands, his commissions and the divisions of such funds and his paving them out to the persons en- titled are not involved in this charge because he is not charged with con- ducting a horse race game in tEe first place, and in the second place. those things which he did in the premises do not amount to conducting any game whatever
 It will be seen hv the aoove ex- cerpt of the opinion as written lg Justice Cunningham, that the con- ducting of a pari mutuel machine is not game and that there is a ques- tion as to whether or not a horse rao e is game. Justice Cunningham closes his decision by ordering the cause remanded to the superior court with instructions to dismiss and dis charge the defendant

 It became known during the day that some members of the diplomatic corps are worried over their personal status with their home governments whom they have been informing for weeks past that the United States would take no action in the European situation. With the arrival of the German pro- posals and the announced decision of this government not to add any word of it's own. most diplomats became fin ally convinced. and so reported to their governments that no step toward peace would be taken here unless decided change occurred.

A THRILLER"
FROM OVER
SEA APPEARS
In the Sparks Circus Which
Will Show at Highland
Park May d.

The war in Europe has had many
and varied effects on all classes OF
business in this country, and the cir
Gus business has been no exception.
The most noticeable effect on the cir
Gus business has been the effort made
by performers In all tho war-ridden
countries to escape to this country,
and this fact has enabled Mr.. Sparks,
OF the Sparks circus, to secure novel;
ties that under normal conditions
would he unavailable at any price.
Probably the most sensational
thriller" secured by any Of tho cir
cuses from Europe this season is the
death-defylng act performed by Hillary
Long, This man has out-done all the
loop-the-loop, loop-the-gap and other
similar acts ever attempted. owing to
the fact that his very life, as well as
the successful accomplishment OF the
act, depend. not on mechanical con-
trivances, but on his skill and nerve
alone.
In this daredevil performance Mr..
Long attaches a common rolled skate
to the crown OF his head, then from
the top OF hundred foot incline,
reaching to the very dobe OF the NAM
moth tent, balanced on his head upon
the roller skate. he dashes earthward
until near the end OF his, perilous Jour-
ney the incline makes a slight upward
turn. which catapults Mr.. Long through
space to dinstance OF thirty feet,
where he agains lights on his head and
finishes this marvellous performance
on shorter strip OF incline.
This act is the big outstanding feat
ure of the Sparks circus that Is billed
to exhibit here Thursday, Maya.

Houseman against Insurance
Company.
The Judgment OF the lower court
was affirmed in the case Of House,
man against Home Insurance Com
pany, from Mercer county: Lynch,
Judge. The syllabus Is az follows:
IL. An insane person may prose-
cute an action in his own name by a
next friend, when no committee has
been appointed for him, or II appoint
ed, has failed to accept or qualify, or
Is otherwise disqualified to act in that
capacity.
"2. II contested. the question wheth-
er an insane plaintiff may sue by a
next friend must be raised and deter
mined before joinder and trial on other
issues. Otherwise, the objection comes
too late.
Denial OF liability on an insurance
policy, based solely on an alleged want
OF unconditional ownership OF the
property destroyed, operates as wal
yer of a provision thereof requiring
proofs OF the quantum OF loss as a
prerequisite to an action on the policy.
