In accepting the essential unity of the
human race, we must regard the humanity

social organism of which the different
nations represent the living members. 1t is

people can live in itself by ITSELF or for it.

Wilson is progressing back to. health so
rapidly that the doctors proclaim his
improvement to be phenomenal, but all
though he has been in bed two months,
it win be another month. at least be-

down as that suffered ~ Mr. Wilson.

VACABOND CASE
CAUSE TROUBLE
Woman Defendant and Attorney Put
Up Great Battle in Police
and Other Courts.

A most troublesome and compli-
Gated police case was that which
had a hearing before Police Magi3-
trate C. J. Smith and later before
Justice D. ]. Cleland yesterday
when Mrs. Thomas Carey was ar
raigned charged with being a vaga-
bond on complaint Of Mrs. Nellie
Meeker.
Mrs. Carey was arrested Satur-
day afternoon and after spending
some time as prisoner in the wom-
eu's department at the police sta
ton was released when a $50 bond
was posted.
The case came up for trial yes
to-day morning with Attorney
Clarence Schroeder representing
the defendant. A state warrant,
charging the woman with being a
vagabond, was in readiness, but
the attorney asked a change of
venue.
An argument ensued when the
attorney advised that charge made
by the police magistrate for tran
scripts issued in the case be not
paid, but this was finally settled by
payment being made.
Chief of Police Phil Miller then
produced a city warrant for the
woman signed by himself and also
charging her with being a vaga-
bond, and he wanted subpoenas
made out for several police officers
as witnesses against the woman 49,
The attorney upset these plans
for the time being by stating that
he already had the papers granting
a change of venue and it was i'm
possible for the police magistrate
to issue subpoenas in the case.
Chief Miller was not to be out
done and went to the court where
the case was to be tried under the
change of venue and another heat
cd argument ensued between the
chief and the attorney. However,

was the same place as Chateau

sian guards. They are supposed to
be the best soldiers in Berlin. They
are the crown princes regiment
Take it from me, lot of those crown
prince soldiers never lived to tell
the tale. They were buried in shell
holes. The Americans were knock
ed off so fast at the Marine that this
is how they were buried, too.
"U. S. soldiers did not have any
real battle until in July. The only
fights that took place on our front
were done by outposts and patrols.
In July the curtain went up and the
big show started. Up to this time

west into Aledo would give chat city
as low mileage to seats of adjoining

alone sets "a miles. Rock Island
