Arguments End in
Associated Press
Suit Against Hearst
Supreme Court Announces
Case Will Be Taken
Under Amusement

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Presenta-
tlon OF arguments on the petition of
Ihe International News Service-the
Hearst Service--for dissolution of in
functions restraining the organization
from pirating Associated Press news
was completed to-day in the Supreme
Court. The case was taken under ad-
vlsement and no indication was given
as to when an opinion would he rem
dered.
In presenting The Associated Press's
side of the case, Frederick w. Leh-
mann, of st. Louis, urged the court to
sustain the lower court in enjoining
the Hearst service from taking Asso-
clated Press dispatches from bulletin
boards and early editions of newspa-
pers receiving The Associated Press
service. He contended there is prop
erty right in news, and that if that
principle was overturned chaos would
result, making impossible the estab-
lshment of a responsible system of
gathering news.
The case, Mr.. Lehman added, also
involves the question of unfair compe-
tit!on and the right to traffic in news,
which one organization has obtained at
great expense and labor "by some one
who has paid nothing for it," He
charged this petitioner with piratical
and unlawful practices, and declared
that If news comes to the public from
tainted sources and by tainted means
the news itself will not escape con-
tamination."
Senator Johnson, of California, in
making the concluding argument for
the Hearst service, argued that the
very principles to which The Associ-
ated Press objects in this suit, the TAX
ing OF news by one organization and
using it as its own by another, has
and that both services have been guilty
OF the same practice. He paid particu-
lar attention to the legal phases of the
case, declaring the question of prop
erty right in news had been up for con-
sideration before the courts in a num-
ber of instances
He cited the so-called Tribune suit
in which "The Chicago Tribune" en-
deavored Intellectually to prevent The
Associated Press from carrying certain
news items taken from a London news
paper during the Boer War, and efforts
of "The New York Times" and "Lon-
don Times" to enjoin certain New York
newspapers from printing Rear Ad-
miral Peary's story of his trip to the
North Pole, to which exclusive rights
had been obtained.
In concluding his arguments yester-
day Samuel Untermyer, of New York,
for the Hearst service, denied that the
question of unfair competition entered
into the case.

Creel Defended
By Publisher in
Address to Adrnen
F. w. Kellogg, of San Fran
cisco, Praises Head Of
Information Bureau

George Creel was vigorously defend
ed yesterday as loyal. capable public
servant by Frank w. Kellogg, publisher
of "The San Francisco CALI" at
luncheon of the New York Advertising
Club. Mr.. Kellogg said the chairman
Of the Committee on Public InformA-
tion had organized and put into mo-
tion branches Of public information in
foreign countries which the public here
little appreciated, and which are be-
ginning to offset the deadly German
propaganda in these countries. MIR.
Kellogg said he had known Mr.. Creel
personally for many years.
Mr.. Kellogg emphasized that Crecvs
record in Office had won him the un-
divided support of President Wilson
and Secretaries Daniels and Baker.

"and I would be stupid, indeed, If I
thought that all MIR. Creel did was to
hand out few news items. know,
for instance, that he has begun to
combat the dangerous propaganda work
of Germany in neutral countries. When
you realize that German propaganda
destroyed Russia you will realize hov
important it is to present the side of
the United States in this war to coun-
tries now flooded with German spies
and publicity agents.
"The Committee on Public Informa-
tien has established bureaus of pub
licity in every foreign country on this
continent and in Europe. with the ex-
ception of enemy countries. Germany
has out-advertised the United States.
the land where advertising was born.
Creel is about to turn the tables on
the Germans. We have sent first-class
men, editors, writer's. advertising men,
to all these foreign lands, not to lie or
bribs, but to tell the truth about She
United States.
when Mr. Creel entered the foreign
Ield his committee sent some moving
pictures of our war preparations to
Switzerland, only TO find that every
had been bought up by Germany. When
we started our publicity work in Latin
America we found the Germans had
bought up newspapers and that the
columns of many papers were closed to
US. Mr. Crcel and his assistants are
going to overcome the handicaps of an
early, German start, and within few
months We shall see the results"
Mr.. Kellogg spoke to the advertising
men OH the Associated Advertising
Clubs national convention, which is to
be held in San Francisco this year, and
which will be addressed by Secretary
of the Interior Franklin X. Lene.

Little Nurse Home From War
Horrors Is Anxious to Go Back
Miss Katherine Adams, Who
Wears Medal for Service,
Says Shells and Horsemeat
Are Not So Bad

Fresh from the shells and bombs of
the war zone and the horsemeat and
bad coffee of the Belgian diet, Miss
Katherine Adams, young Red Cross
nurses aid, arrived in New York yes
terday. Miss Adams left her hospital,
L'Ambulance de l'Ocean, at La Panne,
Belgium, for visit to her family, Mr..
and Mrs. A, F. Adams, of 375 Park Ave-
nue., but even home, with family and
culinary delights, cannot keep her long
from her post, she declares For, after
all, she says, one gets used to the din

If you've worked ten hours at stretch.
Ample opportunity was afforded to
get used to shelling at Miss Adams's
hospital, for shells and bombs rained
about the buildings virtually every day
and night while she was there.
Wins Citation for Work
During a particular siege on March
Il the building was shelled constantly
for many hours and for sticking to her
post at that time Miss Adams now has
a precious little paper, citation from

in the hospital were killed at this time.
"It's too dangerous q place to keep
the wounded for long" Miss Adams ex-
plains. "It's only three and one-half
miles from the trenches and right on
the sea, and in spite of the red crosses
mastered all over the building, the
Germans use it as a target
German aviators have the pleasant
pastime of dropping bombs whenever
they see anybody, men, women or chill
dren, in the streets Of Belgium, Miss
Adams said. One of these swooped low
over LaPanne one day. A little boy
was his victim and the child came
staggering into the hospital with his

Adams. Later the aviator was brought
down by an anti-aircraft gun and for
punishment, brought to the operating

it out like man."

hours was the record for hospital one

People Spend
Money Recklessly

Our people work little harder, earn
much more and spend recklessly. "Join
Our Thrift Club-Save a Diamond" is
an advertisement that is plastered all
over Detroit. SO great are our popula-
tlon and resources that our war efforts
so far have done little more than fill
our pockets and stimulate our appe-
titcs.
Can we go on this way to the end +?
Undoubtedly most people hope so. Per-
haps we are strong enough, rich
enough and wasteful enough to do it..
At the end of the first year of war,
though we no longer preach business
and pleasure as usual. We pursue them
as usual.
But next Thursday Detroit is to have
a tremendous object lesson in dispens-
ing with non-essential industry. With
its million people and all Michigan it
goes dry on that day. Twelve hundred
saloons and eighty breweries will go
out of business. Will their employees
go to the hard work of the essential
