HIDE WOMAN'S

New York, March 12.-Because
Mrs. Betty Inch was too gener-
Gus In the display of her ankles
to jurymen who failed a month ago
to agree on a verdict in her trial
on a charge of extortion, she
found the witness stand surround
ed by a four-foot board fence
when she appeared today in the
supreme court for the second hear
ing of her case.
Though the court and prose-
cutor professed ignorance for the
reason for the erection of the bar
rier, court attendants recalled a
statement of the latter when the
first jury disagreed that Mrs.
Inch must not show her ankles to
the jurors at the next trial." else
he would task the court to make
her lower her dress"
what is it, a spite fence?" the
comely Mrs. Inch inquired when
she entered the court room.
The partition concealed all
but her head and shoulders when
she took the stand. She is being
tried on a charge of extorting $2l5
from Eugene p. Herman, presi-
dent of the Herman Motor Truck
company.

GREAT BRITAIN
CABLE CONTROL
FEARED BY U. S.
American Peace Commission
Oppose Claim of England
That German Cables
Are "PriZeS or War"

Paris, March l2.-Reaiizing the
possibility of a virtual monopoly of
cable communications by Great
Britain should its claim to the cap
tured German cables be sustained.
with the consequent submission of
the great foreign business interests
Of the United States to alien con-
troll in this respect, the American
delegates to the peace conference
are endeavoring to make a strong
presentation of their case before
the legal authorities to whom the
subject has been referred. The
naval experts who first considered
the question were unable to agree
and the supreme council. upon mo-
lion of Secretary of State Lansing,
referred to legal experts the ques-
ton of title involved. These ex-
perts are being pressed by the
Americans for a decision.
Early in the war the British cut
the two German cables from Emden
to America by way of the Azores,
and also the cable between Mon
roya, the Liberian capital, and
Brazil. They took one end of one
of the German-American cables to
Halifax, thereby securing another
transatlantic line for themselves.
The other cable they gave to the
French government, which so far
has made no attempt to utilize it.
probably because of the scarcity Of
submarine cable material and Of ca
HE laying ships.
Say Prizes of War.
The British now claim that these
cables are prizes of war. They do
not intend to allow their return to
Germany or to regard them as sub
ject to disposition by the peace con-
ference. The American delegates,
however. contend that the cables
were unlawfully cut and unlawfully
reconnected, because the United
States was not at war when this was
done and had an interest in them
as being one of the termini. Nor,
they claim. was there proper war
rant for the cutting of the cable be-
tween Liberia and Brazil, as both
these countries were neutral at the
time it was done.
There never has been any de-
cision regarding the title to cables
outside of territorial waters in time
Of war, and the Americans now are
extremely anxious that no precedent
should be established that might
place American business at the
mercy of foreigners or prevent free
communication between the Uniter
States and central Europe after the
conclusion Of peace.
Disfavor Control by Japs.
In addition to the transatlantic
cables, several German cables in the
Pacific also were seized by the
British as prizes of war. One of
these runs from the island of zap,
one of the Caroline group, to Singa-
pore, connecting with the Dutch
and British cables. Another con-
meets this cable with the island of
Celebes. Possession of these lines,
it is held, insures business control of
a fair proportion of Australian
Polynesia, which is regarded as
property within the field of Ameri-
can commercial effort.
The possibility of these cables
passing in some degree under the
control of Japan alone in case the
latter is made MANDATORY of the
captured Pacific islands, also is re-
garded with disfavor by the Amer
lean representatives unless some
plan to prevent any possible dis
elimination is adopted

force are put in detached service
and the enlisted personnel is still

F. Organ, for his exploits at Ron
say, when acting contrary to orders
for Y. NJ. c. A. men, he faced a
heavy barrage and machine gun fire
in the evacuation of the wounded.
Mr.. Ward is firm in his defense
of the Y. M. c. A. in its overseas
work and ascribes the charges
brought against it to lack of infor-
nation on the part of the soldiers.
Ward landed with 10000 troops
including the One Hundred Sixth
New York, on March 8, and every
officer of the division and 3,400 en-
listed men signed a petition asking

WAR AND THE MOVIE

There are few phases of life in
America which the war has not affect
ed. Even the motion picture has been
changed. No more do We see the idle
heroine, blase at Is, her main express
sion one of ennui, brought on we sup
pose, by the exertion of changing her
costume so many times in one reel;
nor is the hero any longer a society
pet, ornamenting first a riding habit,
then a morning costume, followed by
a dress suit.
The war has brought even to the
motion picture a new ideal. Now the
heroine wears only one costume, the
uniform of the Red Cross. And the
hero is no longer the man of fashion,
but the soldier.
The motion picture may not yet
have reached its highest stage of de-
velopment, but a great improvement
over the drama of high society and the
vampire film has been gained in the
war picture.

Il can offer no hope of an early re-

transpiring in the courts of the most
high, and are left to the mercy of
Dame Rumor. She says perhaps
America or Germany soon. At present
we are seeing a little civilization for
the first time in months. We are
quartered in a small town with pop
ulation of about fifty p-Ople, mostly
old men and women No stores of any
kind, but still it is a change from
wrecked villages and shell holes, and

two things"

FARMERS WEEK OF 1919

Farmers Week of 1919 has an add
ed significance over those of past
years. for it comes at critical period
of the worlds history. This earth has
long been interested in better food
production but never so vitally as al
the present time. 1t is hungry. Thou
sands of hands from all quarters of
the globe stretch forth in eager an
ticipatiOn toward the land of the Stars
and Stripes in a mute appeal for the
wherewithal to sustain life.
Now or never must America answer
the call, for there is no time to wait
All her energies, all her resources
must be bent to the Herculean task
of helping to fill the worlds bread
basket, for as such a provider will it
prove itself the greatest nation on
earth.
Agricultural meetings such as the
one in Columbia this week are the
surest indication that America is an
swering the call and organizing her
farmers for a finish fight against the
heavy hand of famine.

SHIPS THAT SAIL TO THE SOUTH


Pensacola. Mobile, New Orleans
Galveston, Port Arthur, are all good
ports capable of accommodating a
large amount of shipping. Nor are
they our only harbOrs on the Gulf OF
Mexico, but they are among those OF
first rank.
They are near the Panama Canal,
that narrow artery of trade which
makes our two great coasts as one.
They are near the commercial CEN
ters of South America whose trade we
have acquired because of war cOndi-
tions but which we shall have diff
Guilty in holding.
They are situated so as to serve the
southern half of the Nation and the
Mississippi basin better than the har-
bors OF New York, Boston or Newport
News. But their utility is. to a great
degree. latent.
With the release of ships from war
work, this nation will have an appre-
ciable merchant marine. A part of
that feet of commercial vessels should
be assigned to southern ports. 1t is
justice and it is practical economy.
True. it will not add directly to the
wealth of the eastern markets or to
the earnings of the railroads carrying
merchandise to those markets, but il
will be of monetary value to the peo-
pie of the South and of the Mississippi
Valley: it will help to hold our South
American trade and will stimulate ex-
portation; it will develop quiescent
business and add to the wealth of the
nation. The Panama Canal will paw
for itself: extensive coastwise trade
will no longer be a dream.
The Gulf ports are near strategic
commercial avenues. but they are far
from Wall street. Will approximately
