Churchill's Proposal for
Barrier Against Reds
Seriously Considered.
CBy UsiversaI Service.D
Especial Cable Dispatch

London, Aug. Elm spite Of
Premier Lloyd Georges disavowal
of Winston Churchilrs scheme to
make Germany an armed barrier
against Bolshevism, it was learned
today that the plan not only had
received, but still was receiving,
careful consideration by the mill
tary party.
At White Hall it was said that
the war minister's suggestion. pre-
sented to the people of the country
over his own signature. and which
caused a seven-dsy sensation in the
allied capitals as we'll as in Moscow
and Berlin. was seriously discussed
and backed up by many of the
British war heads. This informa-
tion secured today from authentic
sources.
Under the plan the allies were
to supply the funds TO be used by
Germany. Allied executive control
was to be set up, under the prob
able command of Gen. Sir Ian Ham,
ilton, which would regulate the dis
bursement of armaments as well as
the disposal of the German armed
forces. by planning the necessary
campaigns.
Winston Churchill's publication of
the details of the scheme was con-
sidered by those who knew of the
plan as merely a feeler to obtain
public opinion. However, the plan
is said ITO have received the tacit
Endorsement of certain sections of
the French government.
Also it is generally believed that
the proposition has by no means
been abandoned.

system. Increased businesss and

TRIAL T0CAUSE
BITTER FIGHT
State May Have Exhumed
Moonshiner' S Body for
Evidence.
1speciaI to Washington HeraIdo


Danville, Va, Aug. 6.-The trial
Of four Federal officers, indicted in
the Henry County Circuit Court for
the murder of Hosea Thomas, an
alleged bootlegger. will be called
in Roanoke in the United States
Court next Monday morning. 1t is
expected that fully fifty witnesses
will be present to tell what they
know of the latest fatality in the
suppression of the Illicit liquor
traffic and that the case will be a
bitter fight destined to last four or
FIVE days.
1t remains a secret whether or
not the State has caused the ex-
humation of the remains of the slain
man to secure the bullet in his head.
The attorneys for the State said last
week that this would be done in
the hope that the bullet could be
traced to the one officer who used
a pistol of heavier calibre than the
other three.
The State is also demanding the
production by the government of
the automobile containing sixty
gallons of liquor which was seized
by the officers. also the two unfred
and fully loaded revolvers which
were found In the cushions of the
machine when il arrived in Dan
vile and which have also been in
the custody of the Federal officers
since that time.
Hosea Thomas was found in a
cornfield on the side of the road
by a farmer working his crop. No
revolver was found by the body,
but he found tracks leading to the
corpse and back again to the road.
