.ERMITT TRIAL HALTED
BY QUEST FOR JURORS
Fifty Extra Veniremen Cited
to Appear This Morning to
Fill Jury Box.

Fearing a repetition of the exper-
ience in the Townsend case last week
Judge ~ f. Neill has ordered fifty
extra prospective jurors to appear in
district court to help fill the jury in
the trial OF Jim Ermitt, charged with
murder OF Walter Allison.
All day yesterday was taken up
with examination of veniremen in an
effort to draft tuHy of the regular
allotted quota. Altho the men did
not seem so unanimous In their opin-
Ion as In the Townsend case. one by
one they slipped out OF the box thru
one excuse or another.
AT o'clock in the afternoon the
venire was exhausted and Judge Nc
Neill adjourned court until o'clock
thls morning, when the extra Jurors
VIII appear for examination. II Is
probable that jury will be com
pleted this morning and that the trial
VIII get under way in the afternoon.
early In the morning Judge Nc
NelII overruled repeated efforts OF
counsel for the defendant to secure
a continuance of the trial. A motion
Tor change of venue. accompanied by
newspaper clippings. which the de-
iense claims have prejudiced the en-
tire community, was disallowed. Fol-
lowing this the attorneys for Ermitt
instituted motion for continuance on
the grounds that material witncssos
were not here at the present time.
Judge Mcneil also overruled the sec
ond motion.

MARC0NI BELIEVES
IN TRIPLANES NOW
Italian Inventor Of the Wire
less Does Not Have Faith in
Commercial U-Boats.

THE war has stimulated science
wonderfully" said Guglielmo Mar
conf, senator of Italy and member of
the Italian commission TO the United
States, writes NiXola Greely- Smith in
the New York World.
II cannot say that war Is good In
any sense. but one of the effects of
the present one has been the develop
ment OF new ideas and the oblitcra-
tion OF difficulties In many fields OF
science. The war has put the wire
less to work in many new directions,
on submarines. for instance, and we
have learned how to control the at
mosphere thru which II passes to a
degree which would have been thot
impossible a few years ago. War has
developed flying to an enormous ex-
tent and will extend its uses more and
more"
Sees Air Travel In Future.
''Do you believe In the practicability
of transatlantic passenger travel by
triplane and In the commercial sub
marine service after the war;" |
asked the inventor of the wireless
telegraph.
81 think that the commercial tri-
plane for long distance passenger
travel is practicable thing" he
answered. 81 do not believe that the
submarine will be used for ocean
travel in time Of peace. Why go un-
der the water when you can travel on
its surface"
zone might ask why go over the
water when one can travel on its sur
face" replied.
No" the inventor retorted that
is not quite the same thing. A fly
ing machine eliminates dangers. oh
stacles. distances. IT shortens travel
ing. one can fly from New York to
Chicago. for instance, In a straight
line thru the air, while on the sur
face you have to make many twists
and turns and so lose much time.
do not think the submarine will ever
he used successfully for commerce.
Italy's Part I'm the War.
But ! believe that the submarine
problem is the most serious presented
hv the war and | do not believe in let
ting people become unduly optimistic
about its solution" Senator Marconi
concluded. II do not want to discuss
the probable duration Of the war. but
know that it will end victoriously
for the allies
The contribution of Italy to the
cause of democracy is not so widely
understood in America as we would
like TO have IL.
''It was ltaly's declaration of neu-
traltty that enabled France to with
draw one million men from the
Italian frontier and IL was this one
million men that enabled 1t to fight
and win the battle of the Marne. Italy
never intended to Join Prussia in
war of aggression. but it might have
kept France In doubt and one million
French soldiers in arms where they
were not needed"

BABY is PERMITTED TO DIE
Doctors Refuse to Perform Operation
on Chicago Infant.

CHICAGO, July 24-The hopeless
ly deformed daughter Of william and
Eva Meter, born at north side hos
pital yesterday. died this afternoon
after DIR. Harry J. Haiselden refused
to perform a surgical operation which
would have saved its life. The case
parallels that of Baby Bollinger,"
who was attended by the same
physician and allowed to die under
similar circumstances more than n
year ago.
DIR. Haiselden examined the infant
and decided its deform!ty was of such
a character that II would be best for
1t to die. The parents of the Meter
infant accepted the verdict of the
physician. The baby was fed regular
" until death relieved its suffering.
Many doctors and nurses visited the
hospital today to see the baby.

Draw at Present.
"The European war at present is n
draw. and viii continue to be n draw
until an overwhelming force from one
side or the other overcomes the
enemy. The allies nj present cannot
muster that overwhelming force (;
neither can Germany.
In my opinion, the United States
Of America viii have to win this war
for the allies. We will not only have
to win It. but. right now, 1t is up to
us to prepare to stand the brunt OF H..
By that / do not mean that we must
lead the most men up to sacrifice-l
mean that we must provide the other
means. such as billions and billions of
and every other element OF warfare.
Germany will have to be overwhelmed
to be defeated. and America will have
to do that job-Francc and England
and Italy combined cannot do IT,
There is another reason why peace

President Wilson. that there can be no
peace other than lasting peace, that

racy There can be no safety for

No democracy can be safe II guaran-
teed by an autocracy That fact is so
evident II needs no elucidation.
Kaiser Has Talking Argument.
"Only idle thinkers entertain any
idea that the German people will re-
volt We might as well talk about
the people OF the United States revolt
ing against President Wilson. out Of
the question. To the German people,
Germany is winning the war and the
kaiser proves his contention by point
ing to the conquered territory. Ger
many holds today three times what II
held Mt the beginning OF the war, and
the people know It. They know moth
ing of German defeats-the kaiser's \
censors see that they know nothing
OF that. The Germans mind at this
time is the mind of the kaiser. They
are led To believe they are fighting
for their lives. and that II Germany
loses the war, indemnites will take
from tneln tnelr MONIES, tnelr all. win
that in mind. the soldiers fight, and
the women work at home-they will
starve before the revolt, until after
the war.
Unless the war does end In six
months IL cannot end until Germany
IL overwhelmed. and II will require
America, with all her vast resources.
To do it-but we will do IT, whether
II requires six months. six years or
sixty years.
Every other thing in the United
States today is incidental and sec
ondary to our principal business Of
winning the war, and the quicker the
American people awake to realiza-
tion OF the task ahead of us, the soon
er will victory come with everlasting
peace and guaranteed safety for dem
ocracy thruout the world for all ages 4"

England and France Impotcnt.
England and France combined
cannot whip Germany. They can
cause Iiindenberg to retreat on the
west front but that is in no way de-
feating him. or getting any closer to
peace, Ilindenborg can continue 10
retreat indefinitely. The English and
French arms have been very success
ful since the first Of April. They have
won almost every charge. and have
taken trench after trench. killed and
wounded IA half million Germans and
taken sixty thousand prisoners and
thousands OF guns But they have
won nothing that can be considered
a formidable victory that would look
like defeat.
THE submarines are the greatest
menace. and while they cannot defeat
England and France. they can hinder
them materially. We know. and the
kaiser knows. that America cannot
