When the. time comes that merchan
ships can again sail the seas in safety
and the several thausand vessels fly
ing the German flag seek foreign
shores loaded to the guards with
goods of German manufacture-wh
then should the nations of the world
buy the German exports? One surely
cannot expect the mothers in England,
France, Australia and Canada to buy
and wear garments made by the very
hands which dropped bombs on the
hospital in which lay their wounded
sons To do so would be a sacrilege.
And why should we in this country
whose women and helpless children
went down on the 'tLusitania," whose
sons and brothers and fathers are al
ready near or on the firing line-why
should we forget all these things in
days to come, and exchange our gold
| for German made goods merely be-
cause they are offered us for a little

be manufactured here? And why
should the South American countries
encourage imports of German goods
when by doing so, every dollar serves
to strengthen the arms of a nation
which would crush them all in its plan
of world dominion? Why should In
dia, and Japan, and China, help re-
build an export trade, the rapid growth
of which, and whose enormous pro-
fits, fed the fires of avarice with the
dream of controlling the factories and
workshops of the whole world?
The very money which for years has
flowed into Germany from France, and I
England, and Italy, is this very mo-
ments going back to them in the form
of deadly gases and monster shells,
and all the hideous implements of
which the Huns are proud. Money
which this country exchanged for Ger
man goods is being spent on our avn
soil in proganda by which hate, dis
trust, and righteousness are planted
and nurtured. Our own dollars were
and still are being spent to foment
hate between. this country and Japan,
and Mexico it was some of our own
money which paid for dishonor of the
type; which has blown up
our mills and ships and docks; which
las made the l. W. W. what it is
Shall we then in time resume the eX-
,hange of our money to foe who will
re long approach us with a smiling
ace and explain no harm was meant
When he stopped at no barrier and Is
ecogniZe no code of faith or NOR
lity? Will we be so craven as to for

congress pass a law requiring that

The prophetic vision of those
who founded this great railroad
during a period of national stress
is now apparent in these times of
international conflict. Again the
Union needs its Union Pacific.
The Union Pacific is doing it's
utmost to expedite the enormous
war shipments from the Treasure
States it serves. Grain, cattle, min
erals, lumber, wool and oil are
needed as never before.
For new equipment alone the
Union Pacific is spending over
$1o,0O0,O0O to give American peo-
pie and industries still better SER
vice.

sums necessary for double-track-

In another place Empey gives a
thrilling description of the way he
felt just before the order came to go

"At 10 minutes to 4, word was

which we had placed against the par

litest of men. There is never any
pushing or crowding to be first up
these ladders. We croucher around

MACHINE GUNS
PLAY BIG PART
NOW CONSIDERED TIE BEST
WEAPONS FOR USE IN DE-
FENSIYE WAR
By HENRY WOOD

WITH THE FRENCH ARMlE
AFIELD-The present war has prove
the machine gun, the greatest defens
i've weapon yet developed. A singh
one can easily hold up an entire bat
TALON, and under favorable circum
stances an entire regiment.
The full value of the machine gur
was apparently appreciated by Ger
many before the war before to much
greater extent than by any of the 9th
er European armies. With the out
break of hostilities each active and
reserve regiment of the German army
had six machine guns with ample in
reserve to replace losses.
Since then Germany has maintained
a steady program of increase in their
number Towards the end of 1914 Ger
many had undertaken to equip every
unit engaged on the front with ma
chine guns.
In 1915 the number of these to each
regiment had been increased from six
to nine. A little latter the number
was again increased to II.
Plenty of Machine Guns
Following the French attack in
Champagne of September, 1915, every
German battalion was equipped with
six machine guns each increasing thus
the total of each regiment to IS.
Now Germany is rapidly complet-
iment "a machine guns.
Only one protection can be offered
the infantrymen against the thousands
and hundreds of thousands of losses
that these guns can inflict and that is
an artillery preparation exceeding |
anything which the present war has
yet developed Before infantrymen |
leap over the trenches thousands of
cannon must rain down hundreds of
thousands of shells on every inch of
the ground to be attacked until not
a single spot has escaped where
machine gun might remain hidden.
Cover Every Inch of Ground
This artillery preparation must not
only be on a scale to cover every
inch of the surface of the ground but
must be of an intensity to destroy
steel and concrete shelters, yards be-
low the surface. A single machine
gun left intact in one of these shelf
ers can be mounted to the surface aft
er the infantry had left its trenches
and inflict hundreds if not thousands
of losses.
With the artillery preparation
which they have demonstrated that it
is automatically possible to wipe out
every machine gun before single in
fantryman shows his head
With the French method and with
sufficient guns and shells, American
infantry can face the Germans new
machine gun concentration with prac
teal immunity.
But it means that America must
have thousands of guns and millions
If shells.

Mr.. Anderson is unquestioably
not only one of the best-known but
one of the most popular, men that
ever held office in Texas. After
serving as deputy sheriff of Harris

Harris county died. Mr.. Anderson S

the scene of the crime, in which direc-
ton their steps led-might they not
have done it? Second, might not
some member of the Davis family
have done it? And third, might not
some negro from the turpentine
camps have done it?
Mr., Rice declared that political in
f1uence was at the back of the entire
business.
In conclusion, Mr.. Rice referred to
the coat which he stated being an old
one might be expected to have a dirty
deposit of some kind on the collar;
he stated that the testimony of Bah
cock proved Will Blackwell's abb;
and that the w. o. w. travelling
card of Bob Blackwell, found hidden
within the picture on the wall, did not
prove his guilt, adding that Will
Blackwell had not placed it there,
Will Blackwell on the witness stand
however, it will be recalled, had tes-
titled that he didn't know whether
he did or not.
Mr.. Rice spoke two hours and for
! ty-fve minutes the entire eight
hours allotted the defense having been
used.
Mr.. Stokes Speaks
Taking the floor for the concluding
argument for the prosecution, as
sistant State Attorney Stokes first
showed how the fate of the law abid-
ing people of the community were
bound up in the fate of these men
and of their kind. He referred to ar
gument for the defense that it was
better to let nin%y-nine guilty mer
go free than to hang one innocent
man, declared that the reason there
was so much crime in the United
States was that the ninety-nine mer
had already gone free. In certain
countries there are more homicideE
than in England, where the law is
stricter than it is here, where tria
and execution is within a month OF
six weeks of the CRIME, and not {
year or two, as in this country.
Mr.. Stokes paid a tribute to Sheriff
Sutton who had acumen enough Il
engage a skilled detective imme
diately to help him unravel this thu
most atrocious crime in the histor!
of Okaloosa county; and to detective
Moore, whose mastery solution o
the problem is now history.

Mr.. Laird spoke two and a half
hours.
W. ]. Rice Speaks
w. c. Rice, of Crestview, made an
eloquent and fowery plea for the
lives of his clients. He referred to
the good character, he said the &C
cused, especially Will Blackwell,
bore! he secuted the idea anybody
with one lung and displaced heart
could inspire the wholesale fear
various witnesses had so given as a
reason for perjuring themselves at
the coroner's inquest. He declared
that first the defendants, and later
their witnesses had been mercilessly
bounded and asked, "Who of US, I'M
der such treatment would be safe, in
his family? "Dare you face people
who have done things like this" he
asked the jury, land say to them that
these men are innocent? Have you
got the moral courage, have you got
the manhood, to acquit the accused
| if your consciences roint that way?'
Mr.. Rice then stated that there
were three other theories that CoulC
be made to fit the crime. First might

Mr.. Stokes declsfed that in all
probability the third man would soon
be located, the Mysterious Stranger

man whose image is photographed
