SUPREME COURT
SPEEDS UP WORK:
OM Y YEAR LATE

The Supreme Court of the United
States is speeding up.
Proof of this is seen in the fact 1t
is only a year behind in its work,
whereas it used to be four years be-
hind.
1t has about 600 cases ahead Of it.
This looks like a good many to the
lRymAn- However, the lawyers don't
Consider 1t so many. They recall that
the court some years ago was 1,SOO
cases behind.
Decisions Every Year.
In those days, If one docketed
case in the Supreme Court he was
likely to have to wait about four
years for a decision. He might die
In the interim. Now, II one dockets
a case, say this summer, he will
probably get a decision next spring
or next June, before the court closes
up its work for the summer.
The creation of the court of ap-
peals back in 1891 helped out the Su-
preme Court a great deal. 1t was
then badly congestetd and at least
l,SOO cases behind. Since then there
has been q gradual reduction.
Chief Justice White has been q
vigorous head of the court. He has
done a great deal to expedite busl-
ness. He has had the support OF the
court in this movement The result
has been a steady cutting down OF
the list of cases accumulated on the
docket and not acted upon.
The public, no doubt, would be
glad IL the court was entirely up
with its work, so that II one docket
ed q case he could get a decision in
the course of a month or so. But
this would not be a happy arrange
ment for the lawyers. They wouldn't
have time enough to give that leis-
urely preparation to cases which are
to be heard by the highest judicial
tribunal which they like.
Attorneys Favor DelayE-
'The interests Of lawyers and their
clients" said an authority on Su-
preme Court practice, ARE not al
ways IDENTICAL The clients want
speedy action, but the lawyers are
not so anxious for it, for obvious
reasons. The courts in a way are
contributory to the delay. That is,
they are extremely liberal and leni-
ent in allowing continuances for the
convenience Of attorneys"
The English courts are not as patti
ent as the American courts. They
cut off proceedings quickly in many
instances In the Supreme Court, II
q lawyer presents a case in which
there is no new issue or which is
frivolous, he is sharply hazed; or
the court may hand down decision
quickly, which is the following Mon
day. This is a new development in
the courts practice.

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY AT
THE AISNE, July 81 20 p. m.).-The
battle OF the Marne has entered a
new phase in which the Germans may
be expected hepceforth to contest
bitterly every effort or the allies to
advance toward the Fismes line.
Consequently the American public
must not expect the same rapid prog
ress in the next fortnight which
marked the last two weeks of fight
ing.
This impression was gained this
afternoon in q talk with General
Degoutte, brilliant commander OF the
Sixth French army. covering the
sector north of the Marine, where the
Germans were thrown back across
the ourcQ.
The General Explains.
A large number of Americans were
engaged in the Marne salient battle
under General Degoutte's command.
The generals headquarters are in an

ings of the generals room is sim
pie, consisting of q table and two
chairs, together with several maps,
including one large relief map in
colors, showing the sector in which
French and Americans under his
command are operating.
The general seated himself in a
wooden chair and. with a ruler,
showed on the relief map how the
Germans had been squeezed in and
forced to retreat from the pocket.
Then he pointed out the terrain
towards which we are now advarc-
ing north of the ourcq. explaining
how the wooded heights gave the
Germans q magnificent line of de-
fense by the aid OF their machine
guns. The Boche is not likely to re-

PERCY BROWN, DICK STEEL AND
G. w. kiNNARD ENLIST AND
GO AFTER OTHERS.
Express Surprise That City as Large
g as Columbia Has Not Long Since
Responded With Company of More
Than 100 Men,

Spring Hill has felt the call of duty
TO help organize a Maury county com,
pany of the Fourth Tennessee, Ma
tional Guards, and three recruits from
that community We're enlisted last
night with plans laid for the forma-
ton of at least two full SQUADS there
Percy Brown, Richard l.. Steel and
q. w. Kinnard were the men who put
their names on the muster roll last
night, and Messrs. Brown and Steel
were appointed recruiting officers to
continue the formation of the SQUADS
there
Following meeting of the Spring
Hill Farmers-Commercial Club, An
derson Hays and R, H. Clagett pre-
sented the details of the organizat lion
OF the Maury county company and a
number of the leading citizens of the
community spoke enthusiastically of
their interest in the movement. Sey.
eral men present expressed a rur-
pose to enlist later but for various
good reasons did not do so last night
The plan of organization is to
have two squads at Spring Hill with
sergeant or commissioned officer
there to drill them regularly once OF
twice a week at Spring hill, but o.
casionally with the whole company at
Columbia.
Throughout the meeting last nigh,
the tone of the talks was that of duty
TO the state and nation for men who
have not been called in the draft and
those who will not be called to per
form some kind of military service
while enjoying the privilege of re
naming at home. Registered men
awaiting call can secure valuable mil
itary training that will make them
good soldiers quicker after they have
been called to the colors. Men too
old or too young for the draft who
are not likely to ever be called to the
rolors for active service, can render
home service and thus release more
troons for service at the front.
The organizers of tie companv are
planning to hold a, big rally at the
courthouse in Columbia at an early
date, when all the men who have en-
listed will be present and all others
who are interested in promoting the
org; nization will Re urged to attend
for the purpose of finally completing
the company.
Much surprise was expressed last
night at Spring Hill that Columbia
has not long since furnished a com
pany Of more than roo men. 1t was
said that a city of this size certainly !
should furnish whole company !. +,
many much smaller towns in the !
state have promptly responded to the |
governors call.
