REVIVED OLD APPLE STORY
Prisoner Related In Court That His
Adam and Eve Encounter Was
Caused by the Red Fruit.

Ever since Eve tempted Adam with
an apple there has been more or less
trouble" remarked James e. Deery,
Judge Of city court, says the Indian
apolis News, but this morning was
the first time that have had an ex-
ample of the trouble which may be
caused between a man and woman by
an apple"
A man had been arrested charged
with assault and battery on his wife.
The wife had tried to shield him when
she took the stand, but admitted hay
ing had little unpleasantness with
her mate.
When the man took the stand he
asked whether he should tell the story
from the beginning, and when told to
go ahead started by saying: Judge,
your honor. all this trouble was caused
by an apple"
Eyes, have heard that story be-
FORE" said the Judge. 1.-The Bible even
says that an apple caused trouble be-
tween Adam and Eve, and most people
think that all Of our troubles date to
that time"
"But this was real apple" replied
the prisoner. 1--WE had an argument
over 1t and when my wife became loud
merely showed her away from me.
Then some nOsey neighbors called the
police"
"All right" said Judge Deery. ''but
believe the real cause Of this trouble
is that you do not work steadily. Now,
am going to let you go this time on
the condition that you heed some adj
vice relative to steady employment,
which friend Of yours is going to
give you as soon as you leave the
courtroom"

fetrOgraO.-Tne Central powers,
Count Czernin. the Austro-Hungarian
foreign minister, told the peace con-
ference at Brest-Litovsk Christmas
solemnly declare their resolve imme-
diately to sign terms which will ter.
inmate the war on conditions equally
Just to all belligerents. The Central
powers also favor a general peace
without forcible annexations and in
IDENTITIES. They could not bind them.
selves to such terms without a guar.
antee that Russia's allies would recog.
nize them and carry them out honest
ly toward the Central powers.
Count Czernin declared that the
Central powers believed the basic
principles uttered by the Russian del
egates could be the basis of such .
peace. He said they shared Russia's
condemnation of continuation of the
war for the sake Of conquest.
1t is necessary to indicate most
clearly, however, the count added, that
the Russian proposals could be rear.
lied only in the event that all bellig-
erents obligated themselves to ad-
here to~the terms of such a peace.
The Austro-Hungarian foreign min
lister declared that the Central pow
ers did not intend forcibly to annex
territories seized during the war. nor
to deprive nations of political inde-
pendence lost in the war.
The question of the subsection Of
nationalties who have not political in
dependence to another country cannot
be solved internationally and must be
met by each government and its peo-
pie in the manner established by the
constitution Of that government. The
protection of the right of minorities
is an essential part Of the right Of peo-
pies to self-definition.
In the event Of a mutual refusal to
meet war expenditures and pay dam
ages caused by the war. Count Ger
min continued. each belligerent shall
bear only the expense of its subjects
made prisoners and damages caused
to property Of civilian subjects by de-
liberate violations Of international
law on the part Of the adversary. The
creation Of special fund for this pur-
pose. as suggested by Russia, could be
discussed only in event that the other
belligerents Join in the peace negotia-
lions within certain time.
The chairman of the Russian dele
cation expressed qualification at the
German willingness to make peace
without annexations and indemnities
and with the self-definition of peo-
pies. He demurred, however, at the
German statement on self-definition as
being incomplete. He said the war
could not end without the re-estab-
lishment Of violated rights Of little
and oppressed nationalities and Rus
STA would insist on guarantees that
their lawful rights would be protected
in a general peace treaty.
Count Czernin explained the posi-
ton of the central powers in a state
ment which he read at the second ses-
sion Of the peace conference at 1
o'clock Tuesday evening.

The youths of Morgan City and

istering today for military duty at
the City Hall. The registration is in
charge of Mr. Chas. L. Wise, who re
ported that business was very slack
this morning, but he expected it to
pick up this afternoon.
Up until o'clock this afternoon
only three young men had reported.
Mr.. Wise, basing his figures on the
last registration which took in all
young men who had reached the age
of 81 within the previous year, said
he expected to enroll about ten names
today. On the last registration 81
We're registered from here. AS the
time interval is about one sixth of
that between the two previous regis
tration dates, ten should represent a
fairly accurate average for the num-
Der of those coming of age every two
months
