"No; Pownell frequently stopped al

Slain Boys Father Affected.
The most affected person at the
trial was Thomas Pownell. father OF
the slain youth. who had engaged Mr.
Zimmerman, of Romney. W. Va, q
former States attorney, to assist At
torney Barnard, TO prosecute Mrs
Uhl and to avenge the death of his
son.
"The woman is guilty of Staying
my boy deliberately" said Mr.. Pow
nell. as tears clustered In his eyes
when he heard the verdict of acquit-
tai. She had insisted that my sor
run away with her because she loved
him better tian her husband. When
he refused she killed him-she did
not slay him because he tried 10

was deliberately and coolly planned

The plea of Mrs. Uhl was based OF
the law that gives woman the righ,
to protect her chastity. Such Law
! is usually called the "unwritten law.
Attorneys for Mrs Uhl read to the
jpry authorities giving woman tbs
right to protect by homicide heI
honor. In Maryland juries in homi-
cidal cases are judges of both evi-
dence and law. they being instructed
in the latter by counsel for the de-
fendant.

CANNON TOO FEW.

There are 1000 counties in the

only about I 800 captured German
cannon to distribute, so the House

Chairman Kahn, of the committee,

ENGLAND MAY
!. BATTLE REDS
HostiIities Between British and
Russian Soviet Threatened In
Southwestern Asia.

Hostilities between British and
Soviet Russian forces in southwest
ern Asia are likely TO break out
within a few weeks, in opinion of
military experts here today.
These experts, keeping track Of
troop movements throughout the
world with the aid of detailed war
maps, expect a clash when Soviet
patrols come into contact with Brit
ish along the Indian border.

The state Department announced
lale yesterday It had received infor-
.inatIon that the Boishevik forces In
Turkestan are establishing military
bases for an attack upon India, and
that new Bolshewk Organizations are
being formed in Turkestan OF natives
and war prisoners.

information also reached Washing
ton that Bolshevik troops are being
sent 20 the Trans-Caspian area at the
rate OF about 1000 men week. These
could be diracted against India
through AfghaMstan and against
PerSas.-.
The only tiJng, that has so far pre-,
vented Great Britain from erecting a
strong military barrier against the
Bolshevik in Trans-Caucasia and
Trans-Caspia, and Turkenstan is
difficulty in raising sufficient troops,
ii is believed here.
The intended maximum strength Of
the British army on the first of next
April is 255, 900, and this makes no
allowance for forces to check the Boil
sheyiks.
Great Britain now has a small con-
tingent of troops at Merv, northeast
Of Persia. and the dispatch of large
numbers of troops to guard the three
routes apparents open to the Bolshe-
vtk is expected here.

The double atoms, each reyoly-
ing around the, other. each with It's
electrons revolving around it, are
so small that there are endless
millions Of them in the corner Of
your eye. But each of those atoms
is as marvelously, carefully made
and balanced as our sun snd the
planets, and perhaps just as inn
portant in the eye OF the inconceiv-
able power that regulates the

The Washington times., 1920-02-08

able power that regulates the
whole.
Rather dismal reading. some OF
the ninety and nine will say and
so II is. Nearly all facts are dis
NAL. facts about matter and force
most dismaliy appalling OF all.
For instance, you have read that
the power bound up In the atoms
that make up a ten cent piece, ii IL
could be released and utilized,
would run all the machinery OF the
United States. That Is putting II
mildly. Power Is represented by
density, and density represents the
force with which matter is squeez-
ed together. Take a hollow rub
ber ball In your hand Squeeze a
little. you know you have put so
much force into that ball. Squeeze
with every particle OF strength you
have and there Is much more
power there. If.you could release
and use It, you could lift trunk
with the power you have put into
the squeezed piece OF rubber.
How much more power would 1t
take, to squeeze a piece OF wood
SO tightly that 1t would be of the
same density as steel and as heavy
as a piece of steel OF the same
size?
Professor Nicholson, whose sci
entific knowledge honors the Uni
versity of Chicago and the Jewish
race, has calculated. with absolute
exactness, based upon measure
ment of the tide" in a long shall
low tube full Of water, that the
density OF the planet under our
feet is equal on the average to
that OF steel, so that the earth
weighs as much as a ball of steel
eight thousand miles in diameter.
'ot so dense at the surface, OF
course, but denser. through added
pressure, as you approach the CEN
ter.
Quite an accomplishment to
make steel ball of that size float
around the sun in space for a thou
sand million years without ever
missing a trip, is it not?
Yet ordinary matter as we know
it, even the most tightly compress
ed, is like sponge or gas compared
with the substance of the funda-
mental atom. The density of the
atom is "a billion times greater
than that of ordinary matter" If
you could release and use the
power locked up in the group of
atoms that make up your lead pen
Gil you could wipe out the greatest
city in the world, crumbling it to
dust and having plenty of power
left.
Let's hope that men won't learn
how to use that power until we be-
come more civilized.
What we call solid matter is no
more solid, the particles are pro-
portionately no nearer touching
each other than one sun and the
planets that 20 around it. The sun
is in the middle, Neptune is the
farthest out. The sun, million
times bigger than our earth, plus
Jupiter and all the planets rolled
into one, would fill only one bill
lionth part of the space within our
solar system, taking Neptune's
orbit as the outside limit Provi-
dence is liberal with space, hence
we have so few collisions.

the bride of Charles A. Smith of this
place and came here to live. Among
her many virtues she possessed in a
marked degree those qualities of faith
fulness and fidelity which won Tor her
a large place in the hearts of all who
knew her.
