Declares Peace Delegate.

Paris-The Belgian delegation to
the peace conference informed the cor.
respondent that Belgium had not been
officially requested by the council OF
four TO bring the former German EN-
peror to trial and that the Belgian gov
eminent would feel obliged to take the
step, even if there were any request
Tor such action. The Belgian delegates
hold that any acton should be taken
by a commission representing all the
associated powers. The official Bel.
gian view, it was said, is that the for
mer emperor cannot be arraigned fol
declaring war or violating the neutral
ity OF Belgium, or for any act proceed
ing or coincident with the declaration
of war.
After pointing out that there is nc
tribunal competent 10 hear such
charges against the former emperor
and no provision OF international law
covering such cases, the delegates said
that Belgium expects that persons
guilty of acts punishable under the
criminal codes of any of the billigerent
powers should be placed on trial, as

THE only case in which the person.

in the atrocities attending the depor'

Atlantic City, New Jersey, will be
the Mecca for large gathering Of
American men, and representative OF
foreign countries, who will be at

tive department of the United States
Flying School, Southerfield, Georgia,
says:
THE Pan American Aeronautics
Convention and exhibition to be held
at Atlantic City during the month of
May will bring to the attention of the
American people the wonderful pro-
gress of aviation. The work of air
craft during the war establishes its
practicabil1ty for commercial uses and
insures the creation in this country OF
a complete aerial service, connecting
all cities and towns for the transport
tation of persons, mail and merchan-
disc.
Before the close of 1920 l conf
IDENTIFY predict this service will be IN
full operation, with extensions to all
countries on this hemisphere. In the
United States trunk lines will be estab>
lished across the country which will
place every city and town within six
hours from some twenty-four distrib-
uting points. Once created and in OPP
Grafton our extensive coast line could
be put under complete protection from
any possible invasion. Thousands OF
college trained aviators in and out of
the service are now waiting to join in
the operation of an aerial service.

thousand men to enlist in air service
for one or three years time. This Isl

FOR THEIR HEAL. tn
Wen Looked Forward to Time in
Penitentiary.
Lawyer Left With Some Idea That
the Persuasive Powers of His
Learned Friend Might Have
Been Better Exercised.

One of the most interesting and elo
| quent old-time pleaders at the Missouri
bar, says Case and Comment, was
Henry Clay Dean, the picturesque law
yer of Rebel Cove, Putnam county.
The most striking evidence of his per-
suasiye powers was not given before
| the jury in Il courtroom, however, but
In the gloomy corridors of the old jail
Ct Kirksville.
Another veteran of the profession,
Judge 4. d. Risdon, tells the story.
1t was a matter of pride with Colonel
Dean, he says. that in nine eases out
OF ten he could get defendant off in
jury trial. But once he was called
upon TO defend a couple of young fell
lows for breaking into a railway car.
and the evidence was so strong that
even Colonel Dean saw no way out
except TO plead guilty and let the boys
take the lowest sentence. Having
reached this conclusion. Colonel Dean
was admitted to the Jail for q talk
with his young clients. II happened
that there We're in the same prison
two other men who had made arrange
menrs with me To represent them. and,
as there was great doubt as TO their
guilt, l had mapped out a defense
that was about as certain as anything
human could be 10 result in an acquit
tai by the jury.
All four men We're in the same cor
ridor, and of course my men could hear
what Colonel Dean was saying 10 his
clients.
He took a seat between the two
boys, laid u friendly hand on their
shoulders, and began in that smooth,
pleasant way of his to tell them what
life in the penitentiary was. He said
he had been down there and looked all
through the building and saw how it
was conducted; that the yards. rooms
he never called them cells-and cor
ridors were kept clean and well venti-
lated; that the men got three good
meals a day with pie and cake on Sun
day; that there were concerts by the
band at frequent intervals; that each
man was given nice new suit OF
clothes and had his hair trimmed in
q fashionable style. OF course there
was, he admitted. little work TO do,
but only enough for healthful exercise.
Young men went down there pale and
cadayerous, with blowholes iA their
lungs, and came back strong, plump,
clear eyed and active, the masters Of
a trade, with money in their pockets
The next morning, when court as
sembled, the four men were arraigned

to them.
"What do you fellows mean?" l de-
manded. You don't want to go to
the penitentiary, do you?"
They looked at each other for a mo-
ment and then one of them replied:

nor Bill has ever been down there, and
we thought we'd like TO take little
