GERMANY'S HUMILIATION.
Great HeIgoIand Fortress and KieI Canal
Fortitications to Be Destroyed,

When Germany surrendered her wa
fleet without firing shot. it wa
thought that her humiliation was grea
indeed, which was the case. But NOR,
seems to be in store for her. Amonf
otner things her army is to be reduced
to 250. 900 men and she will not be al
lowed to have war fleet of any con
siderable size. just large enough tc
properly protect the country.
But that is not all: The great for.
titled island OF h Helgoland, the second
tortitication to Gibralter. owned by
England and that stands guard at the
mouth of the Mediterranean sea. The
Notifications Of the Kiel canal are also
to be destroyed. The following brief
description of Helgoland will give a
fair Idea of its strength:
The summit Of the island is one i'm.
mense bombproof, and the batteries
are SO placed as to be invisible from
the sea. The heavy guns there-11.
inch and l2-inch weapons-probably
were reinforced during the war by Is.
inch gans. The guns are mounted ia
steel eurrets of great thickness. All
the batteries and observation posts ere
connected by subterranean passages.
and the roads leading up to them run
along galleries which are shellproof.
The guns are mounted after the
usual German fashion SOFAS to give
them an immense range, probably from
ten to twelve and one.half sea miles.
go enable the island to stand the con-
cussion of their discharge, and resist
IRE directed against it $50. COS. 900 is
said to have been spent before 1910,
and subsequently other large sums
were allotted.
The immense scaplane sheds are said
to have been of the disappearing type.
which could be lowered as protection
against long-range fire. There are
store shops and repair works with all
the usual equipMent of naval base.
The Notifications presumably will be
blown up. but their destruction will be
no easy business They are of arm
,red concrete steel, and very large |
quantity OF explosives Will be required.
The Notifications at either entrace
% the Kiel canal are of immense
strength and are lavishiy supplied
vith the heaviest guns in steel tur

action inurging the planting If trees
along the Memphis-ts- Bristol highway
as q memorial to the soldier boys who
went from this county.
The work is c0miDendable one and

people than it has thus far. Trees
have been set approximately mile in
and adjoining town, but much MOI e
should be done. The following besuti-
ful little poem shows how some Of the
soldier boys regard trees:

A tree whose hungry mouth is

Against the earth sweet flowing

A tree that looks at God all Gay

Upon whose bosom snow has lain

Some months ago Henry Smith. son
of Hardin Sn ith, was found guilty in
the circuit court on the charge of car
rying a pistol. The fine and costs
amounted to S62. 20. E. B. Jones, W.
C. Shilling, Zack Goss and Hardin
Smith secured the fine and costs. Lat
er Henry Sn ith was arrested on the
charge of having broken into the junk
shop of J. ID. Burkhart and stealing a
pistol. While he was iirn 1ail the sure
ties on the workhouse fine and costs
notified the sheriff that they would
Rot be longer respor sible for the fine
and costs in the pistol case. 1t seems
that the sureties got into deep water
when they failed to pay the amount
due when they su rendered Smith.
which amount was SIP. Jucge s. N.
Smith brought suit for the whole
amount OF the line and costs to protect
the county. Under the law, as Judge
Snodgrass sees it, the sureties are liza
BILE for the whole amount of $62.20 and
he 50 held. The sureties appealed.
UNUSUAL INCIDENT.
One incident that took place at the
last term of circuit court has not be-
fore found its way into print, but is of
unusual interest.
John G. Burnett was summoned be-
fore the grand jury and when the usual
question was propounded to him as to
having had any whiskey IN his posses-
sion. he replied te had hau some In his
home under advice of the physician
when his wife was very sick. When
asked where he got the wh,skey, he
declined to answer. For him to have
that attitude would have
placed him In contempt of court and
liable to a heavy fine. After due con-
'ideratIon he decided to make full
statement to the grand jury. He then
stated that he had received whiskey
rom two of his sons, his son-in-law
md from G. A. Haley, vino was at
hat time acting as foreman of the
rand jury. When it was made clear
o the grand jury that the whiskey
vas procured on order of the physi-
ian who was attending M rs. Burnett
nd that her condition was very criti-
al and the stimulant was considered
italy necessary, the grand jury
ynored the whole matter and no true
i'll was found against any one.
Had it not been for the seriousness
the case it would have been very
for the conditions, under the
,rict letter Of the law, w.uld have
rected that the foreman of tt at par
cular grand jury be inflicted for vio-
ting the bone dry law.
Under similar circumstances Gov.
oberts recently renewed the fine
ON one man and there is no doubt
lat such would have been the final
ltcome in this case had an Indictment
zen found.
Court will convene again and the
and jury will sit the htst Monday in
pril.
