NEW YORK. Aug 21.A"There is no
danger Of revolution In England, said
Myron T. Herrick Of Cleveland, former
ambassador 10 France, on his arrival to-
day on the Aquitania. after visit Of
several weeks in Europe.
Il mean, Of course. radical revolu-
ton such as some people, mostly outside
of Englnnd. seem 10 have been fearing"
he explained.
There will doubtless be a change in
the government sooner or later.
II would not be surprised IL In the
omparativeIy near future a labor gov
ernment would come into power In Eng
land.
But the thinking men Of England do
not have any apprehensions on this hc-
count.
1T might even be a good thing for
England to have a labor government,
he continued.
Generally these men have proved to
be safe and sane.
"Bolshevism has been menacing

Even the bitterest enemies in Eng
land become reconciled in the face of
possible danger to the empire"
Herrick said he was greatly pleased
TO find France making such good prog

Although industrialy she is still in
n badly crippled condition, her agricul-
ture is booming.
Twenty two million Frenchmen are
now tiliing the soil and they have raised
a bumper crop this year.

the taxes but also enrich Mr.. Lemeke

DECISION SOON
IN TOWSONCASE
Prosecution Rests in Trial of
Isaiah Fountain for
Assault.

Baltimore, May THE most
damaging testimony yet submitted
in the retrial ofs.Jsaiah Fountain,
colored. in the Circuit Court of Tow
son. Md, charged with attacking
Bertha Simpson. 13-year-old white
girl. near her home at Trappe, was
given by Kate Webster. a young
colored woman, said to be the COM
mon-law wife of the defendants
brother, John, when the State closed
it's case against Fountain today.
During cross-eXamination the
negress was mistaken in her dec
larations that Fountain, while at
his brothers house in West Ches-
ter. Pa. a few days after the as
sault, showed unmistakable signs of
fear and nervousness.
When asked about the cause of
his nervousness, she said, the de-
fendant asserted that he had run
over a white girl and did not know
how badly she had been hurt"
She continued by saying that the
efforts of the colored family with
whom she was living in Towson had
become so strong in trying to dis
suade her from testifying against
Fountain that she had spent the
previous night in the local Jail.
