BEER THEFT WAS

Out on Bond.

II. j. Martin. released on bond Of
$4,000 by the police in connection with
the robbery OF Y. & M. V, train No.

by United States authorities during the
early part OF 1919, according to records
in the office OF the United States mar
shall and George II, Poole, United States
commissioner.
On Feb. 81, 1919. W. y. Kyser, United
States district attorney at Memphis,
secured the issuance OF a commission
er's warrant for the arrest of j. B,
Wynne, II, ]. Martin and d. w. Rich
ards. These warrants were issued upon
receipt of a certified copy OF an in
dtctment returned by the federal grand
jury at Clarksdale, Miss, charging the
men with breaking into an interstate
shipment OF beer.
On March /, 1919. Martin, the only
one OF the trio arrested, was arraigned
before George II, Poole, United States
commissioner, for preliminary hearing.
The record Of the commissioner shows
that Martin acknowledged the indict-
ment against him and made BOND In
the sum Of $500 for his appearance be-
fore ethe federal court at Clarksdale.
The charge against Martin at Clarks-
dale was dropped, according to Abe
Cohn, attorney, who represented Mar
tin at his preliminary hearing. Mr.
Cohn stated that Martin returned &c
C~larksdale and that the case against
him was either nolle pressed or tina
he was given an acquittal on q di.
rected verdict by the court. Mr.. Cohr
further stated that II. j. Martin. al.
though indicted, was not the maj

Quently would not be able to save our

The cutting off of this main artery
became in 1918 one OF the chief factors
in losing the war for us. Above all
we could not protect our trade by a
victory over France alone. As long
as matters stood so. il was madness to
give our enemies a tpretext to fight.

that a somewhat more cautious policy
in 1914 might finally have assured our
economic position, already almost equal
to that Of the English, and gained for
our overseas trade, as well as for our
entire national life, a still more brill
liant future instead of CHASTITY ruin.

Fear of England.

On July ., the opinion prevailed in
the foreign office that II peace could
not be preserved, and all believed then
that 1t could be preserved, England
would at once throw in her lot with our
enemies without waiting to see the
course of the war.
But the peaceful attitude of the Brit
ish foreign office during the next few
weeks, deceived the Bethmann circle
more and more. Even in the general
staff the opinion prevailed that England
desired peace.
After the sending Of the ultimatum
to Serbia, Sir Edward Grey uttered the
warning, THE situation is extremely
serious and might very easily give rise
to a war Of the four great powers" The
wisdom of the Wilhelmstrasse chose to
draw from this the assurance that al
though the four powers, Germany, Aus
trta, France and Russia might make
war, for the fifth great power, England,
there was no danger of war. :
editors Note-There is no record
Of such a remark by Grey in the Brit
ish White Book. His actual words on
the day Tirpitz indicates were these. in
a cablegram to Sir Maurice de Bun
sen, British ambassador to Vienna: IF
as many as four great powers Of Eu-
rope-let us say Austria, France, Rus
STA and Germany-were engaged In war,
it seems to me that 1t must involve the
expenditure of 80 vast a sum of money
and such an interference with trade
that a war would be followed by a
complete collapse of European credit
and industry"
Jagow and others strengthened this
Illusion in the chancellor, and even
managed to implant 1t in the mind OF
the emperor.
When on July Is. the fleet, then off
Norway, received orders to return to
home waters. the emperor wished to
send all battleships TO the Baltic In or
der not to irritate England. The for
eign office %concurred in this desire.
The kaiser at that time himself told
the fleet commander very bluntly that
doubts as to England's peaceful inten-
tons were not ever permissible, and
that therefore the whole fleet must be
held in readiness to move against Rus
STA. Only technical reasons finally
caused him to agree to send a part OF
the fleet to the North sea.
Editors Note-Ambassador Berthe
the British representative In Paris. or
| Aug. 2, received a cable from Foreign
Minister Grey, which said: This morn.
ing l gave to NJ. Cambon (the French
ambassador to London) this memoran'
dun: II the German fleet comes into
the channel or through the North sea
to undertake hostillties against France
the British fleet will give all the pro
lection Ito France) in its power,'")
This policy OF not Wishing to irritat'
England even went so far as to pre-
vent the cancelling Of leaves and fur
loughs and other trivial matters which
would make the situation seem NOR,
serious.
CEditor's Note-It is a matter o
doubt whether this policy was %entirel,
to soothe England or to enable Ger
many to prepare herself as completed,
as possible for the blow she was to de
! liver without rousing the suspicious o
