Berlin advtces today admitted that
the soggy Woevre plain east and
southeast OF Verdun has proved
great hindrance to the movement OF
heavy guns, thus explaining the lull
In the battle.
But our troops are going forward
again, said delayed Berlin dis
patch.
Practically all the Berlin CORES
pondents whose dispatches have
reached London, pay tribute to the
work OF the French gunners though
they claim superiority for their own
artillery.
"As our troops advanced, terrible
fire from some distant French flank
ing batteries laid checkerboard pat
tern OF bursting shells on the ground
wired one German correspondent, re-
porting the attack on Hill 344.
Through this our troops stormed
with indescribable defiance of death
until they at last reached the top OF
the hill.
"The worst was yet to come. The
French now laid a fierce concentric
fire upon this important hill, posses
sion of which was decisive for both
sides. The German troops in this
manner were cut Off for two days as
on an island and forced to hold out
without food. Despite this disad-
vantage these heroes beat off violent
counter attacks and held until the
whole strip Of front was in our pos
session"

Republican leaders and the rank and
file lined up with political foes in the
Americ"n union to keep American
peace.
The house will be called upon at
once possibly tomorrow to go on
record also
The foreign affairs committee this
afternoon was to take final action re-
garding a warning resolution for the
showdown vote desired by the presi-
dent.
Leaders, democratic and republican,
today declared the house also would
give the president its endorsement
by defeating a resolution Of warning.
The vote today in the senate was
not technically upon the merits OF
the proposition to warn Americans.
1t reached greater depths. While
the vote was to be merely upon tab
g-killlng-the Gore resolution
without actually voting upon the warn
ing plan itself, the real vote was upon
showing Europe's belligerents wheth-
er congress repudiates or sustains
President Wilson's stand, insisting
upon no abridgement, in any meas
ure, of any American right on the
high seas, express or implied.
When the senate convened it was
uncertain whether second vote
would be taken on the resolutions of
Senator Jones.
Administration leaders said Jones'
resolution should be called UP with
it's bipartisan defeat practically as
certain as that facing the Gore reso-
luton At the very hour the senate
began its deliberations, the president
and his cabinet assembled. No diplo-
matte action was planned until the

posed Of. Negotiations with central
powers and the allies were practically
at a standstill today while the admin
istration awaited its expected endorse
ment from the legislative branch of
government.
Not in years has congressional de-
bate brought forth such a crowd as
assembled early at the capitol clam
oring for seats in the senate gallery.
All recognized that n the words to be
spoken there might be those which
would destroy the delicate balance of
neutrality. Even ordinarily blase
senators caught the tensity OF the grip
of the situation, came early to the
chamber and talked in little knots on
the floor or in the Hobbies. Bits of pa

The senate today formally gave
notice to the world that it
stands behind President Will

BY a vote Of sixty eight to
fourteen, the senate voted
down Senator Cores resolu-
ton to warn Americans to keep

Amid dramatic scenes, un-

at midnight
The Colonel said that Stripping had taken
his shot gun, and had spent the qCh0Ie day
looking for Cornett. Ali day long the slayer,
with murder in his heart, sought his victim
according to the public statement Of the Chief
Executive of Georgia.
After having spent the whole day looking
for the alleged author of the alleged letter.
which was never misunderstanding went to
Cornett's home; and, finding him absent,
waited for him, until midnight. Then as the
man was undressing, STRIPPING shot him, from
the dark, outside.
Nat Harris has been lawyer all his pro-
fessional life; and he knows that there isn't
single line of statute, or OF Supreme Court
decision, that tolerates homicide for revenge.
He knows perfectly we'll that the law says,
that where there has been-betWeen the provo
cation and the killing Sufficient time for
reason to rc-asSert itself, the killing shall be
attributed to revenge, and shall be punished
as KU2DER
Again and again, the law prohibits ere
venge." Even in cases Of manslaughter, the
statute demands that the sudden heat Of pas
sion, "supposed to be irresistible" shall
prompt the slayer
The words are, ''if there should have been
on i7eterr0I between the assault or pr0u0catiom
given and the homicide, sufficient for the u0ice
Of reason and h2n20n5ty to be heard. the kill
ing shall be attributed to deliberate revenge,
and be PUNISHED As NURDER."
That's the law which Nat Harris solemnly
swore to observe That's the law which Strip
ling violated.
The Governor of the Empire State addresses
the citizens of Georgia, and pleads with them
to consider the midnight assassination Of
Cornett, as pardonable, because STRIPPING had
hunted for his intended victim ''0W day." and
he was no where to be found
Here is the Chief Magistrate, publicly tell
ing the people that a man may take the law
in his own hands, and revenge himself .WpO,s
every other citizen a0h0 hos e9cited has rage!
Great God What sort Of influence will
such speeches have on men inclined to be law
less.
What sort of lawyer governor is this, that
publicly proclaims the very doctrine which
the Bible and the Code both condemn?
'Vemge0aacc Is MINE, said the Lord"
The law says exactly the same thing.
Bring me your grievance, and l will redress
it, saith the law"
But Governor Harris tells the people, that
1t any man is reported to have insulted the
sister or the wife of another, the brother, or
the husband may take a shot gun and 60 hunt
ing for the offender, not to prevent harm to
the sister and aoife but to take revenge for the
insult.
And if the hunt occupies the whole day,
and is unsuccessful, the hunter may hide in
the bushes, at the house of the alleged in
suffer; wait for him, hour after hour, IN the
calming stiffness of the night, and shoot him
to death through his window.

pardon was due to the promise made his girl;
but it is positively dangerous to human life,
for the Governor to be preaching Justification,

Joseph [ am told that in addressing the
jury in the Broadus case, you made use of
substantially the following words:
"Ihas man IS may friend, hope y0u aoiU
turn him loose, IF you can do so oit1out Stuzti-
flying y0WT conscience"
Did you prosecute Benton in words of that
kind, Joseph?
If so, your services were worth far more
to Benton, than all the lawyers that L. O.
could have hired.
Your position as Solicitor General made
you the spokesman for the State if you pros
tituted that position and used it for the de-
fend0ret you must have had some powerful
motive.
What a0as 1t, Joseph?
If Hugh Dorsey had talked that way in
by it.
But he acouzd'e't to1e the money.
Joseph, when you made that sudden flop in
1892, after having received the Populist nomi-
nation for Congress, there were ugly rumors
as to why you did it. / 2UW not at present 90
into those. But the next time you face an
audience in the old Tenth, give the old Pops
your own version Of that sudden flop.

Recommendations; but they are nightly
concerned in the matter Of choosing firm,
honest man for governor.
They don't want an old jelly-fsh, who is
controlled by Hamp McWhorter, E. j. Rea-
gan, and John NJ. Slaton.
Nor do they want man who deserts his
colOrs on the eve Of the battle, and who sur
renders the States interests when rich
banker is on the other side.
Can anybody tell us about Perdue's health?
Some time ago it was poorly.
Perdue, you remember, is the patriot who
Way-laid and shot the town marshal, Cor
night-watchman) at GAINESVILLE.
Col. Nat Harris sympathizes deeply with
men who are constrained to way-ay their fell
low men, and shoot them unawares
The Col. weeps over these back-shooters,
and calls it mercy" to let 'em loose. The
Colonels tears were not so much in evidence,
when he made his first race, but they are run
ming from him copiously, this time.
AS to Perdue, he hadn't done a thing but
way-lay the night-watch, and kill him. Bob
Berner did some of his fancy stunts on the
case and, if he had got a third trial, he might
have succeeded in getting his client hanged.
At the first trial Perdue got off at man
slaughter and Is years. Then Bob insisted
Oh another trial, and Perdue was convicted of
murder, with recommendation. Bob was
scared to ask for another trial, for fear he
might lose the recommendation.
Things looked squally; SO Bob rushed to
Hole Smith, and got the sentence put back to
Is years.
Whether Bob owed Ho1e $1,000, and paid
it, ct that time, do not know; but there are
reports to that effect.
Anyway, when Col. Nat became governor,
it was soon discovered that Perdue was in
delicate health, and he was turned loose.

ohc dogma, that the Pope has the power to
depose non-Catholic rulers, and to destroy
non-Catholic governments
According to the affidavit Of the Rev. p. A.
Seguln, and the editorial statement of Bishop
Manuel Fernando, the oath of the priest is
dully as treasonous and murderous as that Of
the Jesuits.
There is no doubt whatever that the 4th
degree Knights Of Columbus and the Ancient
Order of Hibernians take similar oath
In Ireland, it has been proved in Court on
the Hibernians time and again; and Father
McDermott accuses them of the Molly Nc
CURE murders in Pennsylvania
Now reflect what all this tends to, IN
evitn5zy:
Three Irish cardinals sworn to persecute
their fellow citizens;
Bishops and Arch-bishops sworn to the
same thing;
Twenty thousand priests sworn to perse-
cute; and Jesuits foclzing here from all parts
OF the world, sworn to e1tjrpate non Cath
oics
Are the oaths meannglessy
If So why do they sign them?
Those oaths led to civil war in Ireland,
England, and Scotland
Those oaths drenched Italy in blood, blasted
Professionalism in Bohemia, and cursed Ger
many with Thirty Years War
Those oaths brought French army upon
Mexico IN 1864, and caused the Armageddon
now raging.
The Pope is JesUit-and the private sec
rotary Ct President Wilson is not only lay
Jesuit, but a 4th Degree Knight Of Columbus
The three Irish cardinals are Jesuits, Sac017a
to per&ecUtc and TO EXTIRPATE, if they
took the usual Jesuit oath.
Fourth Degree Knights of Columbus hold
the most powerful governmental appoint
ments
Systematically, they are driving non Cath
olics out Of the public service.
The head of the Army on the Mexican
border IS O'Ryan, an Irish Catholic. and [
presume 4th Degree Knight Of Columbus.
knights of Columbus in Congress are striv-
ing to close the mails to anti Catholic liter
ture
In the New York Convention, orders were
isened for all Catholic young men to form

None but Catholics can join these rifle
clubs; and as the X. of c. and the German
