The Hartford High School Quin-

The Shepherdsville High Five play

GIGANTIC AIRPLANE
CAN CROSS OCEAN

London, Feb. 1.-Airplanes de-
veloping 5000 horsepower and carry
ing ESQ passengers each across the
Atlantic have been rendered possible
thru the successful completion of new
1000 horsepower Napier engines,
which are the most powerful in the
world.
Two of the engines. which have
been nicknamed the Cubs have been
ordered by the Royal Air Force and
will be fitted to the Titania flying
boat, huge air destroyer, with L.
500-mile range and designed by the
British War Office for long fighting
patrols.
The Ttania carries crew of 20,
but II adapted to civilian use 1t could
accommodate fifty persons.
The Napier Company declares that
a Cub engine is capable of use on a
regular twenty-four-hour transatlan-
tic service via the Azores, where the
passengers would transfer to another
airplane. Five Cub engines would
be fitted to each plane and the pas
sengers would be accommodated in
side the wings.

WILSON REFUSES
TO PARDON DEBS
President Rejects Suggestion or Of
ficials To Free Political
Prisoner.

Washington. Jan. 31.-Recom-
mendation by the Department OF JUS
tice that the ten-year sentence of Eu-
gene V. Debs, Socialist leader, and
now serving ten-year sentence at
Atlanta for violation of the war time
espionage laws, be committed, effec-
tive February IL next, Lincoln's
birthday, was rejected today by Pres
ident. Wilson and Communication refus-
ed.
The decision of the President came
as no surprise because Of. his previous
refusals to intervene in the case on
the ground that Debs had sought to
handicap the government thru oppo-
sition to the selective service act dur
ing the war, and that the granting Of
clemency in this case might induce
similar tactics on the part of others
In the event of another war. An
nouncement of the Presidents deci-
sion was made a few hours after the
recommendations of the Department
of Justice had been submitted to,him.
The case had been reviewed by spe-
cial board now taking up all convic-
tons under the espionage act, and
their findings were indorsed by At
orney General Palmer. The findings
are understood to have pointed out
that Debs would be eligible for parole
on August IL, 1922, and that his
sentence, in case of good behavior,
would expire on December %, 1925.
The recommendation is understood to
have suggested that Debs had been
adequately punished by his confine-
ment since June Is, 1919.
When placed on trial at Cleveland
Debs called no witnesses in defense
and made the only argument in his
own behalf. In appealing to the Su-
preme Court he attacked the admis-
sion in evidence by the lower court OF
he st. Louis Socialist platform, which
he had Endorsed, and records from
the trial of Rose Pastor Stokes, and
alleged that he had been tried on
his Estate of mind" Validity of the
espionage act as violating the right Of
free speech was also attacked by Debs
before the higher court,
