KNOX CHANGES PLEA
TO GUILTY AND GETS
SUSPENDED SENTENCE

Col" William H. Knox. a negro
veteran Of the Civil War. changed his
tune in police court Thursday and en-
tered a plea OF guilty to having been
connected with a gambling game in
the Winston block. He was given a
suspended sentence. In view OF his
long military service" as Prosecutor
Chillingworth put it.
The colonel is 90 years old and has
lived 50 Of them in Hawaii. He is
caretaker of the Winston block at
the corner of Hotel and River streets,
but declares he was in no way con-
neCted with the gambling there. De,
tectives who raided a game there,
however. say the colonel tried to keep
them from entering the place.
With tears in his eyes and voice
trembling the colonel stood up and
entered the plea Of guilty when he
had been given to understand that he
would not be dealt with severely.
1t is the first time | was ever ar
rested here. sir" he said with dignity
to a reporter. land naturally | am

DOGS HELP keep
UPLIV|NG COSTS
fRH Assoefatsd Pressl

LONDON, Eng-Thousands OF dogs
are helping to keep up the high cost OF
eating in this country by figuratively
snatching from the mouths of humans
pound steaks, mutton chops and other
expensive things. This was brought
out in Parliament the other day when
il became known that steps we're be-
ing taken to reduce" the 100000
dogs that inhabit the British Isles.
The result was protest from alarmed
cog lovers and a chorus of approval
by dog haters Newspapers have been
flooded with letters from both camps
The suggestion of the government
to raise the dog tax from $50 to 81
is one of the proposed steps to re
duce the dogs" Eut ii is pointed out
that the breeder and well-to-do owner
will not be deferred by an increased
tax. In favor of the dog 1t is declared
that dogs we're never more useful than
today. The head Of a London dog
home says he gets more requests for
dogs than in peace times-sO many
women are nervous now that their
husbands are in the army and they buy
dogs to guard their homes. He says
IHdt upB hCCpIA6 40 O AoA III
Of wasteful extravaganza would cost
more In human happiness than 1t
would save in human food.
What really makes patriotic people
boil with rage is to see fashionably
dressed women with anywhere from
two to half a dozen pampered pets.
These are the dogs accused of eating
the pound steaks.
THE really best dogs, like all the
best people," says the Daily Mail,
"eat simple food. A good house dog in
q we'll ordered household may be kept
In perfect health at infinitesimal cost,
It is utterly useless dogs with no
merit but pedigree and no part in life
but to be pampered that develop fas-
tIdious and extravagant tastes and be-
come a nuisance at home and in the
street, in the hotels and in railway
trains"
But it appears certain that what
ever other breeds may be affected by
the threatened reduction of licenses
the British bulldogs place is cecure.
In defense of the bulldog 1t is stated
that he is not an expensive luxury.
that he will eat almost anything and
only requires one good meal a day.

NEAR NERDUN, .France.-Native

great field hospital here. He said:
The opinion has been very gener-
ally prevalent throughout the world
that the semi-civilized races are hard.
Ter than tine civilized white races.
This idea, however, has been proved
fallactous. myself, since the be-
ginning Of the war, have treated some
thousands Of wounded men and have
found In general that the white race
can support pain without complaint
better than any colored race. We
have had here cases of all kinds and
l have been able to prove that not
only our peasants, who form such a
large part Of our army, but the inhab-
ltants of our big cities are as natural
ly healthy and amenable to surgical
and medical treatment as the men of
any race which lives under primitive
conditions. Observation of the ef-
fects Of contact with dirt upon wounds
proves that natives suffer from gan.
creme, peritonitis and blood-poisoning
just as much as white men. At the
same time. their complaints when
they are suffering pain are much
greater than those of white men,"

WILLING TO BE WO0ED
By EITHER OLD PARTY

DENVER, Colo.-Denver and Colo
RADIO Progressiyes still regard them
selves as constituting a third party,
but one which may yet be won over
by either of the older parties. It all
depends on the older parties actions.
At an informal luncheon in the Shir-
ley hotel, arranged by James H.
Causey, state chairman, 1t was de.
'cided that the Progressives should
maintain all Of their present ofgari-
cations and that their future attitude
must be determined largely by the
character of legislation during the
next two years. If either OF the older
parties is anxious to win over the Pro-
gressiyes, that winning can only come
through legislative deeds and admin
istrative acts Of a progressive nature.
The meeting, it was said, was thor
oughly repres entative Of Progressive
sentiment in the state, and a state
conference probably will be held lat
er. At that time some particular leg.
islation may be suggested.

Monday was another rest day
the great revival meeting in progress.
Two weeks have passed and great
meetings have been held with inter-
est growing each day. Up to the
present time the sermon-lectares
were directed mainly at the member
iship of the churches, hoping to set
themselves right before a start was
made to reach the unsaved.
Hundreds and hundreds of church
members have come forward to bear
testimony for the Savior and if the
meeting had closed with the Sunday
nights service countless good would
have been accomplished through it,
for it has been a spiritual feast for
Ichurch members.
Night after night, and day after
iday members of the various churches
have gathered at the tabernacle to
listen to the words of the magnetic
Evangelist, who Iabors faithfully to
bring his hearers to realize that God
is willing and waiting. In a strong
land f~orceful way he has pointed out
how the world looks up TO the
tehurehes to take the lead in a move
ment towards Jesus, He has even
lgone so far as to point out the pit
falls and precipiees over which
christians tumble when they loosen
their hold upon Jesus.
Throughout all the weeks or ser
Vices the evangelist has been patient
lily awaiting the time TO come when
the spirit would move the church
members to greater action. That
ttime having passed he is now turn
ling his attention TO the unsaved.
