ITS MEANING ZERO
Hun Appeal to League Meant to
Confuse Situation.
Berlin Merely Means to Fish in
Troubled Water.
BY J. W. T. MASON.
(Written for the limited Press.l

New York, March 7.-Germany's s
appeal to the League of Nations
against the allies war indemnity is a
deliberate effort to create confusion
among the entente nations so that the
Germans can fish in troubled waters.
There is grave danger that Germany
has misjudged allied opinion. The
French military machine may be tam
talized beyond endurance by the inso-
lences of German craftsmanship. If
that happens, the German people will
be terribly punished before reason re-
turns.
The prime fact in the case Is that
Germany is helpless before the allies
military power. If Germany had won
the war and if the allies had Haunted
Germany as the Germans are flaunt-
ing the allies. Lloyd George and Bri-
and might have stood before a firing
squad.
Germany's appeal to the League OF
Nations is meaningless.

Topeka Girl Charges.
Arraigned Today-Date of Trial
Is Deferred.

Indianapolis, March John w.
Talbot, of South Bend, national presi-
dent of the order of Owls, pleaded not
guilty today when arraigned before
United States Judge A. B. Anderson on
the charge of violating the Mann act.
Pearl Spangler, head nurse of the
Owl hospital in South Bend. indicted
with Talbot on the Mann act charge,
also pleaded not guilty. Judge An
derson deferred setting the date for
their trial.
The complaining witness in the case
against Talbot and Pearl Spangler is
Pearl Bagley, 40, of Topeka She told
the grand jury, which indicted Talbot
recently at Indianapolis, that she was
held virtually a prisoner by the Owl
president but at last escaped and
sought the protection OF the South
Bend police. -.
She declared that Talbot. for whom
her father. William F. Bagley, for
merly did organization work in Kan
sas, wrote and asked her to come to
South Bend on her vacation. Shs
says she complied and upon her ART
val was placed in charge of Mrs. Span
gler and forcibly detained until she
escaped to the police.
Mrs. Spangler was indicted on the
same charge with Talbot. The latte.
is alleged to have had Miss Bagley's
hair cut SO she could not return home
She is understood to have told such a
shocking story to the grand jury tha,
the jurymen were inclined to ignore il
but for evidence that apparently sub
stantiated her claim.
