 Count Zborowski when killed in 6 fearful motor accident at Nice in f9eS was wearing fatal ring which had . belonged to his family for four gener- atons. In each of these generations the head of the family had worn the ring, and each had met violent death Still more amazing is a story told by the late head of the Paris morgue. Fivs times within his experience dead bodies brought to the morgue were found to be wearing a certain ring. easily distinguishable by its strange design. It bore in eastern characters this legend: May whosoever wears this ring die miserable death." M Maca, late chief of the Parisian police, youched for the truth of this.

DRINKING WHISKEY
BY JURORS IS one
GROUND IN MOTION

SAVANNAH, Ga, May 9.-Judge w.
w Lambdin took under advisement
late Monday afternoon the motion of
NJ. NJ. Lowrey, former cashier of the
defunct Americas National Bank, of
Americas. 1t will likely be several
days before his decision is handed
down.
That jurymen in the United States
district court in this case, in Macon,
several months ago, took on an aver
age three "gentleman's drinks" of
Thiskey day, was stated by Deputy
United States Marshal Riley. Lowrey
was found guilty by the jury and SEN
fenced by Judge Lambdin to five years
il the penitentiary for making false
entries in the banks books.
On the ground that the jury was
permitted to have whiskey and drank
it at will while in the Hotel Lanier at
Macon, Lowrey is now asking for a
new trial Deputy Marshals Cooper
and Riley made affidayits that some of
the whiskey was furnished by order of
Judge Lambdin, one of the jurors
stating that he was i'll and had to
have it.
In testifying at the hearing of the
motion, Deputy Riley said the other
jurors drank up this sick jurors liquor
and took about three "gentleman's
drinks" a day each. He defined a
"gentleman's drink" to Attorney W. D.
Mcneil, of Macon, as about half a
whiskey glass"
Deputy Riley testified he gave the
jurymen whiskey on Saturday after
room and Saturday night, after the
case was over for that day, but said he
didn't remember giving them some on
the following Monday before noon
while the case was still being tried.
Deputy Marshal Cooper testified he
took one of the jurors to the Elks' club
! III Macon, and got him whiskey, which,
however, he himself administered to
the Juror.

Before leaving the state department,
Senior Arredondo gave Secretary Lans-

planned on this side of the border, and
that other similar incursions are be-
ing planned.

ENGINEERS TO CONGRESS

Members Of five great engineering
societies which embrace the bulk Of
the men of scientific training and
achievement in their professions
have been among the foremost to
commend and encourage the belated
awakening to the need Of adequate
preparedness for defense. Their atti-
tude is significant, for these men,
better than any others save perhaps
those actually in the army and navy,
understand TO the full what great
use Europe has made Of all the ap-
piled sciences in increasing the ef-
fectiveness Of warfare-and they
know to the full how far America
has Jagged behind.
Their first move was to begin to
organize among themselves a re-
serve which will be able, in time Of
need, to supply us the expert, spe-
cialized services without which the
modern army is hopelessly handi-
capped. Not content to rest with
this, members Of the civil, mining,
mechanical, electrical, and consult
ing engineers organizations are
writing to all those on the rolls of
their societies asking support for
the House and Senate bills for the
extension of military training in
land-grant colleges and some other
civil educational institutions, to the
end Of building up a reserve of
trained officers available for COM
manding volunteer forces in case of
war.
In behalf Of the bills Il is urged
that the plan conflicts in no way
with any preparedness program
which may be adopted, will accom-
plish the desired results at a mini
mum Of cost TO the nation and will
provide an element of discipline of
great value to the students them
selves. The engineers are pressed to
address their Representatives and
Senator'S urging them to vote for the
bills.
The request is entitled to unusual.
ly careful consideration on the part
of Congress, for it comes from big
part Of the nations best brains,

RIGHTS WANTED, NOT BRlBEs

The employees of the street railway
companies will not be satisfied for
long IL they are bribed with bene-
fits, allowances, profit-sharing plans,
and relief organizations, into sur
rendering fundamental human rights.
It is reported that the officers Of
the street car corporations are tell
ing their men that relief and profit
sharing projects will be impossible
If the men insist on organizing and
going ahead with the independent
conduct of their relations with their
employers. That sort of argument
will in the end fail. The human right
of organizing, Of negotiating CO.
operatively, Of dealing as a unity Of
humanity with unit Of money and
management, will have to be con-
ceded.
Men organize into cities, towns,
townships, provinces, states, nations,
in order more effectively to serve
their individual ends through united
action. They organize into corpora
tions in order to pool their capital
for more effective use. II is too late
in civilizations processes for as
sumption that labor may not organ
iEe where politics, society, capital,
everything else, may do 30. y,
Grant first of all the right Of men
to organize. Let them have thlir
union. 1t will be good for them and
for the corporations and for the
public.
Then treat with them, through the
union.
There would be as much sense in
the street railroad stockholders, as
individuals, trying to treat with the
employees, as for the employees, as in
dividuals, trying to treat with the
corporate entities. 1t is neither fair
nor possible. Moreover, the effort
to maintain such a doctrine smacks
quite too much of the seventeenth
century. This is the twentieth.

the TRADE WAR TO FOLLOW

There is every reason to expect
that great commercial warfare will
follow the military struggle of the
Old World. It has been reported for
long time that Great Britain con-
siders a sweeping commercial boy
colt against Germany after the war;
. policy which may find more justi-
hcation than would at first seem pos
sible.
Now comes the more circumstan.
tial story that the subject has been
informally considered by the Brit
ish cabinet; that the other allies are
in sympathy with the program; and
that a detailed scheme is to be
worked out, looking to an economic
alliance of the present anti-Ger-
manic powers through which the ef-
fort will be made to keep their COM
merce and its wealth-producing ca
pacity among themselves. It is said
the scheme includes absolute prohi-
hilton OF German goods, and a sys-
tenn Of preferential duties that will
be designed to encourage trade be-
tween the British colonies and the
different allied countries.
When the war ends, all the parties
to 1t will be exhausted. They will
all seek the best means to rehabili-
tate industry and commerce. On gen
eral principles, it could safely be
said that to exclude Germany from
world trade would injure, rather
than help, other countries. Trade is
not a scheme in which one side is
bound to be loser; rather, it is a
mutual benefit. A man who has a
horse he doesn't need, finds a neigh
bor who has COW he doesn't need
but who wants horse. They trade.
Other things being as nearly equal
az they commonly are in trade
neither side loses; both gain because
each gets something he needs for
something he didn't need.
So the attempt. to bottle up com.
mercial Germany would not ulti-
mately, and in normal conditions, heir
anybody. It would be a bad ching
for the whole world. Germany is a
great producer, with a special genius
in some directions. The world il
better, richer, for having Germany

But there is another side. II Ger,

JAPAN'S PROSPERITY

Japan is nominally at war. Her
posture suggests very readily that
which the United States would oc-
cupy If it were at war. Japan may
at some indefinite time of the future
be under the necessity of taking a
considerable military part in the
struggle.
But today, Japan is enjoying un.
paralleled and unprecedented pros
perity. Her factories are turning
out war supplies and munitions at
a rate that two years ago woald
have been believed impossible. She
is being further converted into an
industrial and commercial country,
and that means the intimate touch
with the outside world that inevitably
signifies the expanding horiazn, the
wider view, the more understanding
conception.
For many years Japan has i'm
ported considerably more than she
has exported. Under certain old
fashioned notions Of economics that
would have signified progressive
poverty; but in Japan it did not; it
signified that the country was get
ting what she wanted and needed,
paying for it in what she had, and
progressing because she was willing
to pay the price Of progress.
