Easement then offered to procure
counsel to defend Bailey, who he said
was without means.

Ireland by Germany's winning the war.
lhose prisoners who joined a brigade
ne was attempting to form, were
promised by Easement, the attorney
general asserted, that they would be
sent 10 Berlin as guests of the German
government. In the event that Ger
many won sea BATTLE, he would land
the brigade in Ireland to defend that
country against England, and if Ger
many lost the war the German govern
ment would give each man 10 to 20

Prisoner Smiles.
! When the speaker added that Case
| ments offer was treated with con-
tempt by vast majority of the Irish
| prisoners, Easement smiled and
| glanced toward Bailey.
Sir Frederick Smith forwarded the
| story of Easements alleged machina-
| tons in Berlin, with details of his trip
by submarine to Tralee, where he land
ed on Good Friday with Bailey, and a
third man named Monteith, who is still
at large. He also told of the sending
OF a ship with 10000 rifles from Ger
many to Tralee and of how this ship
was sunk at Tralee and the crew
was captured.
Refuses TO Look at Flag.
The attorney general here introduced
a dramatic touch by having brought
into the court a green rebel flag, which
he said Easement had brought from
Germany to Ireland. For a moment
the prisoner sat with eyes fixed on the
| floor, refusing to look at this emblem
of the rebellion. Then he glancel up
at the flag and smiled derisively.
Most of the time during the attorney
+! general S address he sat with his elbow
on his knee, stroking his beard-a
characteristic pose of the prisoner ever
since his incarceration in the Tower
of London. He appeared oblivious of
his surroundings, but occasionally he
glanced up quickly, showing he was
| listening to the proceedings, notwith-
| standing his apparent inattention.

crown began Immediately Sir Fred
eriCk concluded his address Sir Roger
began to take more lively interest
in the proceedings. He seized pad
of paper which had been provided for
him and started to take notes.
A statement from Bailey was read
by the attorney general Bailey said
he joined the Irish brigade at the sug-
gestion of Easement to see whether it
would be possible to get out of Ger
many. After a visit to the German
foreign Office, he said, he was told to
make ready to depart and was taken
on board the submarine us.

highway. as a memorial to the charac-
ter and achievement OF Andrew Jack
son was first conceived about 1910 by
the Daughters OF 1912, an organiza
ton OF patriotic representative south.
ern women.
As first outlined. the scheme was to
perfect highway leading from Chi
cago to New Orleans. More or less
missionary work was done along the
proposed line OF the road by the Jack
son highway committee OF the Daugh-
tiers OF 1912. OF which committee Miss
Alma Rittenberry OF Birmingham. Ala.
was chairman. but no definite form
was given TO the organization until in
July. 1915, at meeting in Birming-
ham, Ala.
At this meeting a temporary organi-
zation was formed. consisting OF men
interested in good roads from Indiana.
Kentucky. Tennessee. Alabama, Mis-
sissippi and Louisiana. II was further
determined at this meeting that the
Jackson highway should run from Chi
cago on the northwest to Louisville,
Ky. and from Niagara Fails on the
northeast to the same point. the two
divisions here joining and continuing
southwark through Nashville to New
Orleans
A few weeks later the Jackson High
way association convention, for the
purpose OF forming a permanent or
ganiIation and of formally launching
the whole movement. was held in
Nashville. Tenn. The permanent or
ganization was effected at this conven-
ton.
In the rapid development OF the
good roads movement in the last FIVE
years various local road organizations
have been formed in the states through
which the jackson highway runs. and
a great deal OF valuable work done
In improving roads controlled by these
organizations. The Jackson highway
completed. will be largely the welding
together of road systems developed by
these smaller associations. making a
continuous north and south highway
