WATSON'S HANDS,
ARE BLOOD COVERED
Says Judge Speer in Decision
Denying Mail Privilege
to Jeffersonian.

Copies Of the opinion of Judge EN-
ory Speer Of the United States court
in the effort of the "Jeffersonian Pub
fishing company" of Thomson, Ca, to
retain its second-class mailing privi-
leges have been received.
The decision, which was rendered at
Lake Fairfield, N. c., denies the in
junction sought by the company to
compel the postmaster at Thomson
to sllow the Jeffersonian second-class
mail privileges. Judge Speer's de-
cision, which was about 1900 words
in length, quotes frequently from the
columns of the Jeffersonian to show
it's purpose is to obstruct the recruit
ing or enlistment of men in the SER
vice Of the United States. The de-
cision concludes:
There is, moreover, an additional
consideration of the weighticst char
sEter, which obliges the denial of such
an injunction as is here sought. An
appeal is made to an American court
to opening its mailing service for the
spread of propaganda against the
nation as distinct,as it is trucclent and
trINEGttuS, Olluef Illc luIllIlai lule
in equity. such an appeal is address,
ed largely to the discretion of the
court. 1t is to be determined by the
chancellor and always with the prop
er regard for public welfare. This
affects the country's welfare gmd a
p2rty seeking this extraordinary rem
edy under a rule equally familiar,
must come into court with clean
hands. Cam one be said to come with
"ln"n honds when the policy, methods
and efforts he would maintain may
cause his hands to be involved in the
blood of his defeated countrymen?
IF by such propaganda American SOL
diers may be convinced that they are
the victims of laWless and unconsti-
tution0l oppression, vain indeed will
he the efforts to make ther deeds
rival the glowing traditions of their
hero strain. On the contrary the
world will behold America's degrada-
tioN and shame, our disintepration un-
dor fire, the inglorious result of meth
ods much the same as those which
caused the debacle Of Russia, the con-
quest Of our country. the destl uction

formation were gathered along the

agents, according to information
which federal authorities declared

The suspect was known here as
Lieutenant Frank +. Wolf. His real

night, is Baron Friedrich Devan Fcls.
He is p years old.
Fels, Ills said, has made complete
confession OF his activities, admitting
that he was seut here year ago as

Red Oak, Ia, May 16.-One of the
outstanding features in connection
with the grand jury indictment
against Rev. Lyn G. J. Kelly, alleged
Villisca ak murderer, is the keen in
terest being taken by Attorney Cen
eral Havner.
This state official, before he came
here Tuesday afternoon to appear at
the hearing for removal of Kelly to
DeS Moines, issued statement out
lining the evidence he claims has been
gathered against the prisoner. He
did not disclose tire names of the
chief witnesses who will appear for
the prosecution at the forthcoming
trial.
Havner's effort to have Kelly trans
tered from the Montgomery county
Jail to Des Mones has aroused spec
ulation as to the attorney generals
real plans.

INTERNAL CRISIS
IN GERMANY NOW
At ACUTE STAGE
Socialist Talks of Republic and
Revolution on Floor of the
ReiChstag and is Un-
rebuked.

Multiplying signs indicate the po-
litical and economic crisis in Germany
is as acute as ever. Possibly for the
first time in history, revolution and a
German republic have. been openly
talked about in the Reichstag, and,
most significant of all, apparently the
authorities do not dare TO check the
growing audacity of the radicals.
In fact the pressure OF the malcon-
tents has become so great as to force
the government to hastily withdraw
its refusal to permit radical socialist
delegates to attend the international
socialist conference at Stockholm.
The food situation in Germany also
appears to be growing steadily worse
and alarm is expressed in various
quarters that the available supply will
not suffice to feed the nation until the
next harvest.
Discussion Postponed.
Amsterdam, May l6-Discussion
of Alsace-L Lorraine in the Reichstag
was postponed, despite the protests of
the socialists. George Ledebour, the
socialist leader, referring to the re-
ports that Alsace-Lorraine would be
divided between Prussia and Bavaria,
declared that the answer to such an
intention would be the proclamation
of a German republic.
Austria Makes Offer.
The semi-olicial Fremdenblatt Of
Vienna says that Chancellor Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, in his speech in
the Reichstag, declared the desire of
Germany to regulate its eastern from
tiers and maintain friendly relations
with Russia in peaceful accord with
the Russian government.
Almost identical declaration cma-
mated from Austria Hungary, the
newspaper says, adding:
"All the world now knows Ger
many entertains no ideas OF conquest
regarding Russia, which can at any
moment conclude an honorable peace
with Germany and Austria. Reports
about a divergence of views on this
question between Vienna and Ber-
lin will now become silent as the
grave"
