THE PRESIDENTS OPTIMISM.
lNaW York Tribunal

One idea runs like thread through
most of the Presidents speeches. If
this is not now the best of oil possible
worlds. it soon will be. The magic
League of Nations is to turn all it
touches to gold. 1t will rectify 1.-The
age-long wrong which characterized
the history of Europe" 1t will end
the ancient quarrel between the lion
and the lamb. Governments may per-
haps still be tempted to go astray, but
peoples will hold them to the straight
and narrow path. The real triumph of
the war is a revolution in human ma
ture. Thus begins the Golden Age.

 Concluded in Criminal Court

The case of Cliff Curry, charged with the murder of Dewitt Fletcher negro chauffeur. went to the jury at seven o'clock last night. It is probable that a verdict will not be given before this morning. This is the defendants third trial
 The first trial resulted in a disagree ment of the jury. which was followed by a verdict of guilty and sentenced to life Imprisonment in the second trial, but was later reversed upon appeal to the supreme court. on the ground that improper evidence had been admitted by the trial court.
 The jury in the case was completed Tuesday and Wednesday the taking of testimony began. This afternoon argu- ments for the state and defense were followed by the charge of one hour to the jury by Judge Harrington F. Heflin.
 Assistant solicitor John Mccoy and Ben F. Ray represented the state, with Hugh Ellis as counsel for the defendant.
 The defendant seemed to show no signs of nervousness. however, a little pale as the jury retired from the court room.

BOTH SIDES CLAIM VICTORY IN LOCAL
 TELEGRAPH STRIKE
Conditions Much Improved, Say Officials of Company. President Butsch States
 Men Are Sure to Win

Local conditions. with regards to the general strike called by s. J. Konen- kamp on Wednesday against the West ern Union Telegraph and Cable Company and also affecting the Postal Telegraph Company, has settled into an endurance test Both sides stand pat, having con- fidence in the final victory. The tele- were more normal yesterday and that men are filling the places of the strikers.
 President Butsch, of the Commercial Photographers Union of America claims that victory is assured them. We are sure to win. It could not be otherwise. We are stronger than ever before and are going to stick until our objectives have been attained.
 Western Union local officials claim that there has been no appreciable change in their conditions since the general strike than was noticeable at the time before the Postal Telegraph x Cable Company was involved They claim that by working the operators. who still remain with them, they have been amply able to handle the local situ- ation All communications between their offices are claimed to be clear and practically normal.
 w. c. Lloyd superintendent of the Postal Telegraph and Gable Company, when interviewed by an Age-Herald re- porter, said: "Conditions are in a very much better condition locally than yester- day. At different points throughout the southern division men have been retur' ing to work We have received severn operators today and are expecting more tomorrow.
 Birmingham, as you know, is a re- lay point and have remedied con ditions here to a large extent by cutting our relay wires through. and have suffi- cient force to handle the local situation nicely. We still. however, are accepting business subject to indefinite delay ''We hold no hard feelings against the men who struck, and in all probability all of them will be reinstated after the strike is over. We are standing by our promise to President Wilson to make no distinction between union and non-union men when he made that request of us several months ago.
 Although progress in getting the local telephone operators to join the union, has been announced by l.. M Butsch, local president of the Commercial Tele- graphers Union of America. little appre- hension, shown by the local officials of graph company, is in evidence. They express themselves as being confident that, in case the strike is called. which is set for Monday, the majority of the operators will stay by them.
