II. D. Stephens Painfully
Hurt BY Board In Saw

> III. D. Stephens sustained painful
injuries late Thursday afternoon
while engaged in saving some boards
in the woodworking department of
the Americus Automobile company,
of which he is in charge.
In some manner the board which
Mr.. Stephens fed into the machine
became obstructed, throwing the
plank against his side, inflicting a
severe bruise. In attempting to ward
off the force of the blow, large
piece of flesh was cut from his hand.
Mr.. Stephens walked to the near
by Lawson Drug store for medical
assistance, and DR.. Herschel Smith
was called. Mr.. Stephens was re-
moved to his home on Hampton
street, where he passed a quiet night.
His condition today was very favor
able, and it is expected that he will
be able to be about his duties within
a day or two.

ABSURDITY

FRAN this distance the trials of
German war criminals now being
conducted at Leipsic under the terms
OF the Versailles treaty seem to be
1arclcaI to the last degree.
Ihere have been a few convictions
OF subordinate officers, the penalties
mllIcLed being merely nominal.
IN the few cases where officers of
nlgh d, rank have been brought to trial,
'hCy nave been acquitted.
1t took the Allies over two wears
to force the Germans even to 90
through the motions of complying
"lJn this section Of the treaty.
1t IS absurd to expect courts made
up OF Germans to accept the view of
Ine Allies as to what constituted
crime ON the part of German Officers
during the war.
just as absurd as it would be to
expect courts of the Allies to accent
me German view if the situation
were reversed.

DAN TIE

All Italy is celebrating in honor
of Dante, who died 600 years ago.
Reading Dante's poems, one PIC
tures him as a dreamer, above mum
dane affairs, caring little for life's
}anlties.
Yet Dante was SO partisan in his
city politics that once he was sem
fenced to death.
The political creeds for which
Dante risked his life are long since
forgotten; his poetry will never be
forgotten.
Wonder whether Dante realized
the true proportions Of the two.
