Its members ''beware of entrance to
quarrelbut being in" would bear that the
enemy should in the future be the one
to beware. Others assert that while
they are willing our soldiers should be
transported across the seas, they be-
lieye such an expedition would be i'm
possible short of year of training and
by that time they hope the war will be
over. Among these conflicting views
the man or woman whose opinion has
not yet crystallized gropes tor light.
All opinions may be sifted down to
something like this: We have elected
to make the seas safe for our citizens
and to uphold the law of nations against
a wilfull trespssser who has offended
after repeated warnings. Congress is
to assemble to hear the Presidents in
depreciation of events and act upon
whatever requests he shall make. If
Congress answers the President by a
declaration of war against the German
government, difference of opinion as to
the method Of it's prosecution should
disappear and the people will have the
single purpose of making the war as
terrible for the enemy as possible. 1t
will be war to make an end of wars
and every man and woman will go into
it with clear conscience, determined
to win victory for peace by serving
the Stars and Stripes in whatever way
the government shall choose.

"HOW WILL WAR AFFECT ME?"

No longer issit question Of war; that
we shall have it is an accepted fact.
The question Of each individual now is,
how will the war affect me? The
people await the appearance of the
President before the extraordinary ses-
sion of Congress for their answer. They
know twoiwaYs<are open for the United
States; one the way of the powerful
financial and industrial ally of the
enemies Of Germany, the other the way
of active participation by means Of sea
and land forces in the war. The former
course seems to have been favored BY
the many, SO far as it is possible to
interpreti until very recently;
the latter is the one the country has
lately begun preparing itself to accept
from the government. The former was
little the more comfortable for some
people to think about: sort of war de
luxe, the trenches with all the comforts
of home. The latter means, as every
body knows, the real thing. Each man
faces the issue: shall l enlist? What
can do to serve my country best?
There are earnest people who shrink
from the idea of an alliance entailing an
expedition to France because it means
that we relinquish our traditional posi-
ton of isolation. Another equally
earnest body looks upon such an alliance
as the basis for future league to en-
force peace and recent democratic gains
in Russia serve to strengthen this com
mon opinion. Still another group is hest
tating at abandoning Americas char
acteristic policy and at the same time
abhOrs the part of lukewarm friend.

if he was a member of the "Jessie
James Gang" the witness replied that
he was not, because he could not climb
a certain tree which would admit him to
membership He said that Just a few
minutes before the shooting Wilbur
Baer told him there was going to be a
shooting affair and he started toward
the school house. He was some dis
lance from the scene when the shoot
ing took place.
c. j. Hanft. teacher of the school,
was the next witness. He said he had
gone to a nearby farm house when the
shooting occurred. He first learned of
1t when one of the boys came running
to tell HIM. He started for the school
house, but before he had gone far he
met Paine Culp, who also told him of
the shooting and gave him the gun. He
said Culp told him he did the shooting
in self defense. He denied any know
ledge of the alleged Jessie James
Gang or of any boys bringing revolvers
to school. He said he had never heard
any shots fired near the school house,
but on two occasions had found car
trldges that had been placed IN the coal
and exploden in the stove.
Here the state rested its case and the
defense placed Ernest Culp. II year old,
cousin of Paine Culp, on the stand. He
also told of the shooting and said some
of the boys were not very friendly to
Paine Culp. He said that Paine Culp
often stayed in at recess and studied
his lessons while the other scholars were
out at play. The witness said he had
never seen anyone have a gun at school
except Wilbur Baer and Thomas Will
son. He said he knew of the Jesse
James Gang and that neither Paine
Culp nor himself belonged to the alleg-
ed gang. He said Paine Culp showed
him the revolver on Thursday and told
him he was carrying it because some of
the boys had threatened him.
Mrs. Ira Culp, mother of Paine Culp,
testified that her son was fourteen
years old, She SAID that on Thursday.
prior to the shooting, he asked for per-
mission to remain at home, but she re-
fused him, telling him that the law com
PEELED him to go to school. She then
asked him for what reason he did not
want to go to school, and he said some
of the boys had threatened to beat him
up. That evening when he returned
she asked him if he had been molested.
and he said that Thomas Wilson was
not at school that day.
On Friday morning he again wanted
to stay at home, telling her that he was
afraid the boys would carry out their
threat. She at last persuaded him to
go to school, and that was the dav the
shooting occurred. On cross examina-
ton she was asked if she did not know
that her son carried gun to school
with him, but she denied any knowledge
of it. She said that the gun with which
he had shot Thomas Wilson belonged to
his father and that it was generally kept
in the window or on the organ in the
parlor
This ended the testimony, and after a
statement from the attorneys for the
state, Judge Henderson announced that
he would release the boy on bail, pend
ing the June term of court for Garrett
county. He fixed the bail at 81, 5000.
At the request of the defendants at
torney's bail was reduced to 81, 900.
