In the case before the court. it was charged
that the accused kept liquor in room in Il
clearinghouse. The judge instructed the
jury that il they believed the room was the
bona fide home of the defendants. they, the
jury. should find them not guilty under the
first count" Whcreupon the jury promptly
found them not guilty. This ruling accords
with reason. which, The Times Dispatch
has consistently commended. fails to support

Assuming that Germany a last realizes that
she will lose her colonies rnlanently and

territory. in addition to having indemnity
France and belgium for destruction OF th,i
property. isn't il natural TO suppose that she
liz already making arrangements to rccuDcratc
the expense Of the only nation not allied
with their present enemies. and which is rich
enough to Justify the attempt? She has forced
this nation into war. Within thirty days she
could conclude peace with the entente
Within sixty days thereafter With her navy
and submarine feet free to convoy. she could
land 100000 at Tampco some other
Mexican port. Mexico would hail them with
JOY. Add to these the 100000 100000 Ger
