Ask Drys to Deign
Six Months Grace

WASHINGTON, May "a move
ment to obtain six months of grace
for the makers and sellers of intoxi-
eating liquors will be started by con-
servative prohibitionists in congress
when it convenes, They evince a de-
sire to avoid a wet and dry fight in
the house or senate this session.
This plan could be carried out by
the repeal of wartime prohibition. 1t
would be impossible to pass such leg
islation over the opposition of the
Anti-Saloon League and other tenn
perance organizations affiliated with
it, so the prohibition advocates in
congress may join in a request to the
representative of the league to keep
hands off and let the wartime act be
killed and give these interests in the
liquor business time to close out.
This, it is argued, would not be more
time than was contemplated when
the federal prohibition amendment
was drawn.
DR.. E. C. Dinwiddie, of the Anti
Saloon League, when asked about his
said his people were not
in bringing the wartime
measure before congress, but fav-
ored it as a temperance move. They
cannot consent to any back step now,
but he intimated nat if such a plan
would help prohibition in the long
run no strenuous efforts would be
made to block it.

SUGGESTIONS TO
PROSPECTIVE SHRINERS

The scar which the branding iron
makes will never show, if you keep
your shirt on.
All farewell messages for friends
must be in legible hand writing, so
that our recored will not get them
mixed up.
When you go back home your
friends may know you, but they
won't admit it.
Prepare yourself for the tortures
by practicing walking on the hot
stove, before crossing the hot sands.
Leave your dignity at home. If
you bring it with you, you may lose
it.
If you are married prepare your
sclf for a changed husband. You
will still be her husband but we will
have the change.

Counterfeit
Den Uncovered

MARYVILLE, Tenn, May 81
Twas reported to officers that $50
cash, a wat and chain, rain coat, suit
of clothe and some shoes were stoler
out nj Mexican town, last night SC
the officer Slogan to search for the
stolen property. 1t is claimed that il
was all found except the cash in the
possession of young Mexican by the
named of Franetoso Sierra and his
lady friend Locadia Mireles.
But this was not the most import
ant find the officers made. For some
time it has been suspected that spu-
rious silver dollars were being made
in the Mexican quarter And so when
the said young Mexican was arrested
and the premises thoroughly searched
several counterfeit dollars were found
as we'll as the molds and metal used.
The molds were somewhat crudely
constructed of wood and some kind of
moulding material used between two
pieces of wood with a bale to pour
the molten metal into the mould. The
metal used looked to be timers SOL
der and some kind of sheet metal to
harden it. 1t is claimed he was turn
ing out a pretty good imitation of one
of Uncle Sans silver dollars.
TIE resisted the officers when they
made the arrest and fought like
tiger but was soon brought under CON
troll when handouts were castened
on his wrists.
1t is suggested that as many arti-
cles of finer silks, etc, were found in
the house where he was staying that
he has also been operating in other
cities as well as in Mexico town.
His preliminary hearing for larceny
will be held before Esquire Brakebill
tomorrow, As yet it is not known
when he will be taken before U. s.
Commissioner McTeer.
He and his lady friend claiming to
be his wife were placed in the county
jail to await trial.

bombs of every calibre and many gas
shells in German ammunition depot

near it. 1t is believed many have
been killed or wounded.
Many houses in the neighborhood
have collapsed and windows and roofs
for two miles around have been shat
tered. The moving OF trains over
the Mountaineering fine has been
stopped.
1t is reported that while men were
unloading a wagon filled with shells

a German prisoner, setting fire to
the ammunition boxes. After the
explosion the German prisoners broke
the barbed wire fence around the
camp and fled through the woods.
Only $50 have been recaptured. The
Belgian guards at the depot escaped.
It is mud roads now in Missouri.

German Writer'S
Pens Drip Gloom

BERLIN, May 8.-First telegram
and mailed stories from German cor
respondents at Versailles published
here are mostly marked by tone O.
plain melancholy. Their reportoria
work is not calculated to infamt
German public opinion. Friedrich
Stampfer, editor of Vorwaerts, leads
! typically with comment on "rottcr
weather which mirrors the spirit OF
the German delegation"
"This is a land of work." another
correspondent writes of Belgium
Zone sees no commanding generals,
no speculating finarciers in Belgium
there are more Americans than Bel
gians. Only in northern France does
khaki give way to azure"
Herr Stampfer is particularly struck
by the allied military discipline.
Wherever an officer bobs up, there
is snappy saluting, an unaccustomed
sight to US Germans" he asyg.
The Vorwaerts' correspondent was
tremendously impressed by the
scenes in devastated France. moral
izing:
"For everything that human mania
for destruction accomplished, the bill
will now be presented to US at Ver-
sailles."
Many German prisoners seen in
transit are exploited for stories by
the German journalists. Stampfer
comments:
Though the sight is depressing, it
is not as bad as anxious imagination
painted. The German prisoners ap-
pear to be fairly we'll fed and stand
ing up bravcly."
The sight of st. Quentin moves
Stampfer to exclaim: "Herc on the
square before the Cathedral l sat
eight years ago and we discussed the
favorite topic, whenever German and
French socialists met, of reconcilia-
ton and no more war. So nuver can.
we make the French reconciled to us
until we thoroughly realize why they
hate u.s."
The writer summarizes his impress
sions of the whole devastated area as
follows:
"Tt will be years before it is pos
sible that men can live here again,
but the sight of these ruins cannot
make US forget our own frightful
misery, and, worse yet, we have lost
faith in our own strength"

charged with the loss of a document
relating to persons likely to be i'm
plicated in a case alleging trade with
the enemy.
Lenoir was accused with trading
with the enemy. When arrested his
case was placed in importance to the
government higher than that against
Bolo Pasha. He was a Partisan cap
italist and with Desouches bought lie
Journal in 1915 for 100000 francs
and later sold it to Humbert. The
money was declared to have come
from a German source Lenoir tes-
titled at the preliminary hearing that
he had received the money for the
purchase Of the paper from Swiss
merchants who desired to contral
large French newspaper.
Desouches, although nearly 60
years DID, fought with the French be-
fore Verdun. The prosecutor in pre-
senting the case against him said De-
souches knew that the money with
which Lenoir bought lie Journal was
German, but that the defendants rec
ord at the front as a colunteer laision
officer might permit the court to
Tighten his sentence on conviction.
