Admits Possession.

The answer admits possession of
the property, but contends right of
seizure and possession under the mill
tary zone law and the Sheppard law.
and pleads that to order the surren-
der of the property in question would
be to deprive the United States of evil
aence.
Attorney Miller based his argument on
the grounds that Whites property had
been taken without due process of law
and in conflict with the fourth and fifth
to the United States Con-
stitution and the doctrine Of the old
common law which makes mans house
his castle.
White, had in his possession four

whisky in their possession, the prop
erty of White, had been brought into
the District of Columbia for Illegal
purposes.
Attorney Miller asked that Maj.

ciined to issue such order. but sug-

HARDEN SAYS HUNS

Thinks They Have Failed to

MUST SHOW GOOD FAITH

LONDON, January 1.-THE Times
today quotes an article appearing in
Die Zukuuft of Berlin on December
Il. In which Macmillan Harden. its
editor. appeals to Germany to make
- demonstration of good faith and
readiness to secure confidence by
giving guarantees,
The article asserts that the German
PEOPLE fail to face the facts about
their own plight and allied opinions
FIRST, IL says, the German. people ac-
cepted the official lie invented in
order to conceal the responsibility of
the emperor for eventual defeat. that
Germany had been wantonly attack
ed, and, second. when defeat came
the German people let off their rulers
too lightly. IL declares the German
people do not really understand the
account which is being made up
against them. which Herr Harden
describes as 'fifty-one months of
brutal rule in Belgium, during which
every law of humanity was broken.

ar raids against all law, the custom
az sinking passenger and hospital
ships secret agreements with the
irish and the Flemish, the smuggling
of explosives, bacilli and incendiary
instruments into neutral countries
and everywhere bribery, fraud and
theft"
Herr Harden asserts that the Ger
man people do not realize the situa-
ton they have to face. and after ex-
pressing the belief that the allied view
is that the German revolution is a
fraud, urges Germany to approach the
allied powers with assurances that
Germany really places all her hopes in
the abandonment of militaristic am
billions and the creation of a new world.
