Seek American View
 on Cable Retention
Rx AssooIafad Prass

Berlin, Wednesday, March 19.-In con- nection with the reported desire of Great Britain and France to retain control of the cables taken from Germany the North German Gazette says:
 ''It would be interesting to learn the at titude of the United States toward the proposed plan to rob us of our cables. President Wilson has declared that the United States is interested in securing direct communication with all the coun- tries with which America desires to enter into commercial relations. Germany, we suppose, also belongs in this category. Shall the American merchant be subject ed to the control of his European com petitors-British and French? That would be the direct result of British and French possession of the German cables"

By Associated Press


 Nashville, Tenn, March H.-The s50,00o verdict given W. L. York, a mail clerk, in his suit against the Nashville, Chat tanooga and St Louis Railway company is one of the largest verdicts recently given here in a personal injury suit in the Davidson circuit court.
 York received injuries in a railroad accident May 21, 1917, which destroyed all sense of feeling except in one spot about three inches wide about the stomach. During the trial Dr. s. s. Crockett ex- amined the man for the jury. He stuck pins in various parts of York's body, and heated water which had nearly reached the boiling stage was placed upon his arms and legs During these examina- ticns York was blindfolded but displayed no interest in the tests.
 Mrs. York testified she had to test the heat of the water for her husbands bath, claiming that unless she did he might draw the water so hot that it would scald him.
