Detective sergeants Testify.

Principal witnesses yesterday were
Detective Sergts. J. E. Armstrong
and ]. E. Grant of the Washington
police department. They were de-
tailed to investigate the whereabouts
of Werres and his car when the dis
appearance Of both were reported at
headquarters here. They were pres
ent when confessions were obtained
from Gamble and Newman at police
headquarters in Richmond, after the
prisoners had been brought from
Camp Lee to that city.
Armstrong was the first Of the two
men to take the stand. A confession.
he said. was first obtained from
Newman. Gamble was then taken in
hand and Armstrong declared that
the prisoner was asked what he
would say If he were to hear that
Newman had confessed. Whereupon
Gamble said 'ft was q lie" and that
he did not believe it Later Gamble
admitted the crime and corrected two
or three times the confession which
had been typewriter. Gamble was
told. he said. that anything he said
would be used for or against him" ,
Commemorative Attorney Frank r.
Ball attempted to submit the Gamble
confession, but counsel for the de-
tense made q motion that 1t be ruled
out, since the declaration to Gamble
that anything he said would be used

proceeding, and held out q hope of
immunity to the prisoner in wrinEing
out the confession.

sHEAvEs AND SHELLS

Along the vesle river the shells are
falling by the thousands Into the
strOnGholds Of the enemy They are
exacting terrible toll OF life from
the German ranks. They are forming
barrages behind which the Yanks are
pushing forward, always forward.
They are demolishing trenches and
harbed wire entanglements. Occasion
ally they are demoiishing an enemy
ammunition dump. They are beating
the Hun backward toward the Rhine.
And over thousands of fertile acres
through this broad land the sheaves
are likewise falling-intO the yawning
mouths Of the threshing machines
Streams OF golden grain are filling
the granaries and elevators The
yield has been exceptional. Few are
the fields that have not set a new
production mark. And the price Is
better than Ii has been In many a de-
cade.
Like the Shells, the shesves will
help In beating back the K.-.
For not only will they furlo III sus-
tenance to the allied armies In the
field. They will also contribute ma
terially in furnishing the militant sup
plies OF warfare. Hand-in-hand the
sheaves and shells will serve.
The farmer has done well his part
In production. He will reap hand.
somely In profits upon his seasons
work. And having done so he will
be in better shape than ever to help
bis country further through the pur.
chase Of Liberty Bonds.
And his country. more than ever

In this war aeroplanes are the eyes

PlueoEs Broke Up Monopoly.
One of the queer things about the
nutmeg Is the romantic way In which
nature thwarted the Dutch attempt to
establish a complete monopoly Of the
spice. They own the Banda islands,
whore most OF the nutmeg trees grow,
and at one time they wanted to pre-
vent everyone else from raising the
spice. So to keep up prices and to
induce other planters on other islands
to cut down their plantations the
Dutch at one time burned three piles
Of nutmegs. each Of them said to have
been as big as an average church.
They induced other planters to Join
with them and It soon seemed as
though they were killing all competi-
ton.
Then nature took hand In the
game. A large pigeon Of the islands,
which was extremely fond of mace,
carried the seeds to all the surround
ing lands. even to the mainland Of
Asia. Nutmeg trees began to grow
Wild In numerous places and all danger
OF monopoly was removed.-Boston
