Won BANK TRIAL
ENDS; ESPIONAGE
CASE GIVEN JURY
AT THENOON HOUR
Court Instructs Jury0 Not
to Find Defendant Guilty
of Disloyalty
HILIDRETH LAUDS
SCHOOL TEACHER
"Would to God" He Says
In Plea, "There Were
More Like Them"

Judge Charles F. Amidon of the
federal court, charged the jury in the
case of the government against
Henry Won Bank, president of school
district 10, charged with violation
of the espionage act. at 1880 today,
following the closing arguments for
the prosecution by M. A. Hildreth'
United States district attorney.
The Jury was instructed by the
court to determine what was the
nature of the language used by the
defendant in his alleged defamation
of the Stars and the Stripes, and
whether the language used by the
defendant was made with the dellb-
crate intent and purpose Of causing
insubordination, mutlny, distoyaIty
or disregard of duty in the military
and the naval forces of the United
States. The jury, he said, must not
find the defendant guilty on the
grounds Of disloyalty, but guilty or
not guilty of the particular crime
charged in the indictment.
Defense Motion Quashed.
The motion made A. w. Fowler,
states attorney of Cass county Mon
day evening, to dismiss the case on
the ground that the prosecution had
not proved the offense charged in
the indictment, was overruled by the
court. John Carmody, assistant
United States district attorney,
opened the arguments for the
prosecution, and was followed by
the defendants counsel.
Attorney Hildreth. in the closing
remarks for the prosecution, declar-
ed that the defendant had purchased
a Liberty bond and has subscribed to
the Red Cross as an excuse and
sham for his statement that hewouid
rather see a pair Of old trousers
hanging over the school building IN
his district, than the American nag.
He warned the jury not to let its
members be fooled by Liberty bend
purchases and contributions to the
Red Cross. He declared that the
defendant had compared the Stars
and Stripes, 'the symbol of our ma
ton" TO a pair of old trousers.
Not Made JokinalY.
The most dangerous Of all en-
emies are not those who have funds
in their hands," said the district at
torney. Congress with a hundred
years of experience wrote this
statute and as long as l am in this
office / am going to work for its en-
forcement. When a man goes to a
public school and makes a.
statement of the character that the
defendant did, do you suppose he
made that statement jokingly? No,
he was calm; he was cool. Riley
heard him repeat the statement, and
so did Riley's deputy who was with
him.

Plan For Cooperation In

Been Worked Out
SITUATION BEING
CLOSELY WATCHED
Every Care Being Taken
To Avoid Antagonizing

CBy Associated Press.l

London, March 5.-The Evening
News says the question Of Jap

been settled and that all the allies
as we'll as the United States have
agreed to immediate action to
safeguard the interests of the
powers.
Toxic, Saturday. March 3, via
Shanghai to London.-(By The AS
sOciated Press. )-The Russian situa-
tion Is completely absorbing the press
and the public. There have been
frequent meetings of the Japanese
cabinet at which, doubtlessly. the en-
tire question was considered most
carefully with full realization OF the
serious nature of the responsibilities
involved.
London, March SIT is understood.
according to a Reuter- dispatch from
Toxic. that the japanese government
is extremely well informed of the
developments in Siberia but at pres
ent is adopting a policy Of watchful
waiting. Japan Is gcarefully avoiding
.arOusing the antagonism Of loyal
Russians who, notwithstanding their
dire need OF assistance, appear 10 be
extremely sensitive to outside inter-
ference. .. -'.''.-
Recognizing also that China is
entitled to consideration as a protec-
tor Of the frontier on which Japan
does not actually border, JAPAN the
dispatch. says, probably has agreed
with China on a plan for prompt CO..
operation.

At this time the government is

promotion of American trade
after the war is over. When

warm greetings and those of
the Italian nation. It is now
three years since Italy un-
sheathed her sword in the de-
fence of the same ideals to
which the mighty North Am
erican Republic later brought
the powerful aid of its moral
and physical support. The con-
science of the nation rebelling
against any attempt to over
whelm, no matter whence it
might come, drove Italy to the
side of the peoples who are
fighting for the sacred princi-
Piles of right which we want to
have embodied in the liberia
ton of our brothers laboring
under the foreign yoke and in
the vindication of our legiti-
mate right to live in safety,
without which no stable peace
can be secured for the future.
On the fields of battle in
France the brotherhood of the
North American and Italian
armies has found its consecra-
ton. May this be the happy
augury of the ever closer col
laboration of the future of the
two peoples on the active path
of civic progress"

the world from conquest by
Germany. We viii have
fought not merely to protect
ourselves but to serve the
world. We will have a reputa-
ton such as we never before
enjoyed. We will have a mer-

size and in its ability to handle
our commerce. Out of all this
will come great trade possibil-
tiles and it is but the part of
common sense to prepare for
the time to come.

WILL 1T BREAK LIKE AN
EGG

n F the situation in Germany
is interpreted correctly
the kaiser is taking the of
fensive in the west because he
dare not do otherwise. Only
through victories" is he able
to hold down the unrest at
home. 1t is through promise of
triumph that he holds the dis
contented in line. In his fight
ing this spring he has as yet
gained nothing commensurate
with the cost. 1t is yet to be
seen whether or not he can do
better but with the strength of
the allies rising all the time the
odds are against him.
The next question is can the
German war party endure a
defeat? Can they survive if
they have to give up the one
line of appeal they have found
successful in reaching their
own people? There are many
who think they cannot and that
when Germany breaks it will
break like an egg, without
hope of recovery.

RIDGEFTELD. Wash, May 90
Ridgefield high school will have only
two graduates this year, Arthur Bu-
ker and Charles Hancock. The boys
are both very patriotic and they de-
cided it wasn't the proper wartime
spirit to have an elaborate COM
mencement, sending out of town and
getting a speaker, and defraying
other expenses that could be gotten
along without. These two boy grad
yates have given up all this and will
have no special exercises when they
receive their diplomas and have each
given SIS to the Red Cross instead.
