Revealing Our Sympathy

0ERMANY contends that the course of the American

by American commercial interests; that the United

American interests might not suffer from the slaIng

That is not true and Americans know It is not true
But even If It were true as regards the governments

More than 100000 Americans have served with the

BY wounds or illness.
In contrast to these 100000, Just one American is
known to have enlisted in the German army according
to statement of the former American ambassador Gerard
Without revealing his name ambassador Gerard referred
to him as big red-haired Yale who voluntarily
Joined German infantry regiment His father begged
the ambassador to intervene and have the youth dis
charged from service and the diplomat did So The young
man was discharged by the German military authorities
but he at once manifested the persistence which might
have been expected of an Amerlcan-or an En9ishIlal
He upbraided the ambassador for his action declared he
was p years age and entitled to decide his own course
and insisted he was going to fight for Germany The

COURT
CLOSES ITS TERM

After the sentences were imposed
on Shivers and Holland for selling
liquor to sailors, federal court ad-
journed yesterday morning. The SEES
sion lasted a little more than a week,
but during that time much work was
accomplished. Many cases left on
the docket after the spring term had
adjourned, were cleared up, and some
new cases tried and disposed Of
1t is stated by officials that it is
particularly gratifying that an oppor-
tunity should have been afforded for
testing the operation of the new law
in regard to selling liquor to sailors,
as the number men stationed here,
makes the operation of the law of
much Importance. In every case that
was brought, convictions were had,
though one went over until next term
and one pending.

GREENWOOD CORN
CUT To SHREDS
BY HAILSTORM
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

Mariana, Fla, June 26.-Reports
from the Greenwood section are that
crops are entirely ruined by the hail
storm which visited the northeastern
section of Jackson county on yester.
day afternoon. A strip of territory
some three miles wide and ten miles
long through the finest farming coun-
try in the county, where practically
all of the land is in cultivation, was
devastated. Thousands of acres of
corn in silk and tassel, it is said, was
stripped or beat to ribbons, while
cotton, peanuts and other crops Jared
no better The fall is said to have
been six inches, while after twenty
four hours drifts eighteen inches high
still lie on the ground throughout the
section. Many farmers have turned
in their stock to clean off the ruined
crops and have wired for seed to plant
again.
This city was in the path of the
storm of wind and rain that accom-
panied the hail and while little local
damage was done, it was perhaps the
strongest northwest gale that has Wis
tied the section in many years. The
lightning was also terrific. A. Bas-
com a house was blown down and the
occupants were severely beaten by the
hail before another shelter could be
reached.
