POULTRY SHOW AT THE
TENNESSEE STATE FAIR

The practical way of arranging the
classification, adopted by the Tennes-
Bee State Fair, is pleasing to the farm
er and to the small poultryman. Ac-
cording to this arrangement, chickens
are shown in f1ocks in many instances.
The farm flock unit has proved very
popular OF course there are more
fowls shown individually than collec-
lively, yet this does not make the for
mer method any less desirable. The
competition will be keen. At the Ten
nessee State Fair. Sept 1922, 1917, e.

twenty dangerous suspects-all Of
them interned German sailors-have
been turned out of their employment
in one New England institution
through the repres entation of The
Providence Journal, and these men in
stead Of being interned have been per-
mitted to wander wherever their fancy
has chosen to take them, to begin the
connection Of new plots in places
where they are not under suspicion.
What terrible calamity must we go
through, what immense destruction of
war materials vital to our future free
dom must we see before we deal with
this question with stern and unyield-

stamp out treachery wherever it shows
it's head?

with common sense believe for one
moment that these men are not utiliZ-
ing their entire time and their entire
energies In plotting death and destruc-
ton in every possible form to hamper
our war activities?
Can any sane man believe that the
German-language daily press Of the
United States is any less traitorous at
heart today than it was the day before
war was declared? Why are dozens of
reasonable sheets Of this kind, owned
and run by men who are known to the

there never was time when he was so
popular In Germany as he Is today, the
sooner we will be able to think
straight and act straight on this situa-
tiCn. The Kaiser is the physical en-
bodiment of the German idea, and the
German idea is the doctrine of physical
force
And yet there are those who persist
In telling US that we are playing the
role In this war Of the great liberator
Of the German people! 1t is our hand
that Is to help them UP toward the
light IN their struggles to rid them
selves OF their Kaiser and his hated
system And that hand is held out
across the Atlantic, the Atlantic in
whose depths lie the homes of Amer
lean women and children murdered by
Germany's Kaiser and by the poor,
struggling German people, who greeted
those murderers with shouts of
ecstatic joy!
War No Fight for Trophy.
What are we fighting for? A
trophy? The head of the Kaiser? It
sounds like that when we read the
speeches which are sometimes pre-
pared for our consumption. We get
the impression that if by some par
ticularly lucky stroke an American re-
turns home with the head of the Kaiser
the war would be satisfactorily over
and we should be hailed as the savior
by the liberated German people.
But nations do not fight for a
| trophy. Not even for the head of the
Kaiser! There are three things for
which nations and men fight in war
for the love of something, for the
hate of something, and for or against
! one of the religious fanaticisms that
| have made the world run red since
the beginning of history.

CONCORD, N. c., December 5-Testi-
mony intended to show that CASTOR
Means was loyal American citizen and
not "a German spy or sympathizer" was
presented today by the defense at the trial
of Means on the charge of mupderine
Mrs. Maude A. King
1t was given while the jury was absent
the state having objected to it's admis-
rule later.
William J. Burns, head of the de-
tectlve agency bearing his name, testi-
fled that Means. who was formerly in
his employ, had told him that he had
accepted employment with commercial
interests of the German government
with the understanding that he would
turn over to the American government
all information he obtained that he
thought would be of value to the Unit
ed States. He said Means told him he
had pursued this policy.
letter written by Means to Burns
communicating German information
country. and asking that it be turned
over to the Washington government,
was identified by Burns.
that it desired to offer this testimony
| to disabuse the public mind of the idea
prevalent that Means was a German
spy cr Sympathizer.
The state ended today it's cross-er-
animation of w. r. Patterson, father
in-law of Means, without bringing out
anything materially to break down his
testimony yesterday to the effect that
the defendants business transactions
with Mrs. Kings money were legiti-
mate and with her knowledge and ap-
prevail
c. A. Rumbaugh, a mechanical engi-
neer of Asheville, qualified as an ex-
pert in firearms and. testifying for the
defense, declared that from experience
and observation study he had learned
that a 25-caliber Colt automatic pis-
tol was liable to be fired at any time
by jar. He testified that in his opin-
ion Mrs. King could have held the pis-
tol in position to inflict the sort OF
wound found in her head.
