"Anti-Americnn," Says Lester.
In answer to the repetition OF the
question from Senator Sterling Is. d.,
Capt. Lester said:
These dispatches are, to my mind,
plainly anti-American."
Senator Sterling pursued the ques-
ton after each despatch was read:

Capt. Lester.
The next subject development by the
investigators was the conversion or
at least retention of q portion of the
organization of the Lutheran Church
in the United States in the cause Of
Germany. Capt. Lester testified that
among certain synods OF the Lutheran
Church word had been passed down
the line early in the war that the
clergy were to preach and pray for
German victory.
Lutheran Preachers Kept On.
The big trouble with having started
this, said Capt. Lester. was that after
America got into the war herself 1t
was difficult to stop II. Some OF these
Lutheran clergymen finding them
selves unable to change. front kept
right on with their German teachings
The military authorities found that
the operations of some of them in the

effect and were extremely embarrass-

There Is a Vogue for Aprons.

There is, or at least there appears to
be, vogue for aprons of the sorts that
cover the dress or are substituted for

most as much profusion as styles in
frocks and some persons insist-es-
pecially some masculine persons-that
women look their best in these worka
day garments. At any rate they have
chance to look very well in them
,ince there are so many designs In
them made up In attractive colors and
with easy, semifitted lines.

about that many women must do a

There Is an early Easter this year
and the annual. welcome guest of new
spring millinery Is on. Nothing stales
It's perennial interest-we discover the
new styles with as much joy as If they
were a gold mine each season. This
zest Is merited by the new hats; they
are in reality as fine from every stand
point as any within the memory of the
oldest millner. There is variety with
out end in them-the shapes emphasa
lie becomingness. There are many
kinds of trimming and beautiful work
manship is the rule. Which all leads
to the conclusion that the American
woman has earned reputation for
being well dressed because she is dis
eliminating.
The paramount hat, or the para
mount fabric of which hats are made,
Is crepe georgette. 1t Is used with
braids and with other fabrics, or WITH
out them, for covering shapes. All
colors look their best In it's rich and
dainty texture. At the center of the

Ginghams and percales, IN an array

new aprons and nearly always a COM

great deal of attention Is given to. at
tractive combinations of plaid or
striped material with plain patterns
and plain chambray made up with ac-

They make up spring house frocks

 Local Five

Maj Hugh R. Riley of the 1f4th in fantry at Camp Mcclellan. has written the sporting editor asking him to frame up a basketball game between some strong local team and the 114th five for Saturday night
 Major Riley states that his soldier boys are able to give any local aggre- gation a tough scrap and he guaran- tees that, should such a match be staged. devotees of the basketball game will certainly get their money s worth.
 Inasmuch as the athletic club fivo has disbanded, it is hardly probable that Captain Gil1em's outfit will ac- cept the challenge from Anniston, and unless some other team will step for ward, the majors proposition to play in Birmingham will go unanswered.

 But John l.. failed.
 As the twentieth round ended. it was apparent that Mitchell. although badly battered, was in fresher condition than the unmarked Sullivan. John l., had weakened himself more in rushing Mtch- ell than he had his foe. All this became apparent to the crafty Briton and with the beginning of the twenty-first round h. changed tactics-shifted from the de- fensive to the offensive. And how he did tear into the weary John l..
 Mitchell bombarded John l.. with lefts and rights. They landed with all the power of MitcheHs body behind them upon the face and body of the Ameri- can. For 10 rounds Mitchell continued. trying desperately to knock out John l.. for the long count. But the splendid courage of John L., his superb game ness and his ability to stand up unflnch- ingly under merciless punishment, saved him.
 At the end of the thrtieth round, Bal dock, seeing that Mitchell, like Sullivan, had worn himself out by his offensive tactics, asked John l.. to call off the bout and have it declared a draw. The Amer ican beloved a refusal And so the fight went on. For eight rounds more the tired. weary gladiators strived for vic tory-but each failed.
 And then, as time was about to be called for the twenty-ninth round, John Us handlers decided that draw would not be such bad thing after all. So they jumped over to Paddock and told him that they would agree to his earlier proposition. BaldocS took one look at Mitchell, near collapse in his chair, an- other at John L.-and said;
 'All right; the fight ends in draw.
 The referee was notified Of tho agree ment and at once announced to the crowd:
