CR0NKH|TE SHOT
ELF,POTH|ER SAYS
Defense Outlined on Charge
of Numbering Army Officer
at Camp Lewis.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
TACOMA, Washington. October g.
The defense of Roland II. Pothier
charged with the murder of Maj.
Alexander P. Cronkhite at Camp Lewis
in October, 1918, will be based on ex-
pert testimony, that Maj. Cronkhite' S
wound was self-inf1icted, it was in
dicated when his trial was resumed
today.
Decision of the defense to introduce
testimony of this character was said
to have been prompted when physi-
clans who attended Maj. Cronkhite aft
er he was shot gave conflicting teS-
timony as to whether the clothing of
the officer contained powder burns.
Testified to Stain
Maj. Henry Tucker of Philadelphia
physician, testified that there was
a slight blouse on the sleeve of Cronk-
hite's blouse which might have been
a powder burn. Tucker testified SIM
ilarly before the military board of
inquiry at the time of the tragedy
Lieut.. Col. William j. Howard, Whit
man, Mass, testified he found no
powder burns or other stains when
he examined the blouse at the time
Of the inquiry.
Dr. George c. kreutz of st. Louis,
a regimental sergeant major in the
213th Engineers, to which all three
principals belonged, testified that it
was his gun which Pothier carried on
the day the major was shot-on the
morning Of October 25.
Interview Is Related.
Lieut.. Col. Howard, summary court
officer, who investigated the shooting,
testified he interviewed Pothier and
Capt. Robert Rosenbluth. He stated
that, according to the story Pothier
told him, Rosenbluth appeared after
the first shot was fired by the major
at tobacco tin on a post.
AS Cronkhite fired his second shot
Rosenbluth exclaimed, you missed
it!' the witness said. AS Cronkhite
fired the third shot he said, Il hit it
that time"
Then the major cooked his gun,
and as he raised it it slipped and
twirled backward around his finger,
discharging the fourth shot into his
body with fatal effect" said Howard,
in repeating the story he said Pothier
told him at the time of the investiga-
tion.
The defendant further told him that
he did not see the fourth shot fired
and did not know the major was hit
until Cronkhite exclaimed that he
had been hit, Howard testified.

have a close fitting tongue and you don't get much out of him: others, very loose fitting tongue that's always
 going and always wagginS.
 T notice another thing about buckle: It's the tongue that gives 1t its holding and pulling power, and if you know enough to use your tongue it's your greatest asset, it is your
 greatest power. it is ysur greatest ability. Many man has failed to be elected at the head of organizations because he could not speak, he couldn't use his tongue. I know young carpenter in New York city to whom was offered time and again the
 privilege of being at the head Of the
 contractors of New York city, but he told mo himself I could not stand on my feet and say one word and just
 because he did not have the power Of tho tongue he couldn't be elected. William Jennings Bryan won the first democratic nomination through the
 power of his tongue. That speech
 that he delivered on The Cross Of
 Gold won for him popularity that has scarcely, waned to this day When we were having the Civil War. Henry
 Ward Beecher went to England. At first it was impossible to get people to listen to him: they jcerei and hootcd, but finally through the power of his marvellous tongue he changed
 the sentiment of England from sym
 pathy with the south to sympathy with the north. It shows the great ness of the small thing.
 "I was interested also in looking up the word snap, and that's exactly what the word means, just what 1t say. It is q quick, sudden sound that gives the idea of q snap like snap when it locks, It's quick and snappy. That is exactly the kind of service we ought to have in the Bible
 class: we ought to snap into it: buckle into it."

GROWN PRINCES NEW JOB
Former Heir to German Grown Has Taken Position As salesman For Farm Machinery.

London, March IT. - The former German crown prince has set up as a farm machinery salesman and now is living at the home of his brother, Eitcl Frederick at Potsdam, with his wife and family, according to the Daily Mail.
 Moved by Frederick Williams plea that. his fortune has suffered through the fall of the mark, the government gave him permission to go to Berlin to seek employment.
 At first he tried to conceal his iden- t'ty, but when he took the princess to the movies last Saturday the pair were recognized and greeted with cheers. Frederick William also took his family for an automobile drive along lind Den Linden and walked the streets alone, but escaped recog- milton on these occasions.
 The Mall says his prospects of sue- cess are very bright, since all the iandholders are staunch monarchisti and many are personally known to the prince.

CHINESE LAUD SOVIETS AS THEIR BENEFACTORS
Consider Chinese Russo Rapproche'
 mcnt a Great Feat of Soviet
 Diplomacy.
By Tle Associated Press

By The Associated Press
 Moscow, March 1.-The Russian
 newspapers consider the Russo Chi nese rapprochement a great feat Of soviet diplomacy and as significant of
 the future 'libcration of the Chinese
 from foreign control.'
 The Workers Gazette points. out that Turkey. after resuming relations with soviet Russia, developed nation aistically until strong enough to , throw off the foreign yoke and sug-
 gests that the Chinese agreement is
 equally important
 .Izvestia, the official newspaper, says Russia now becomes serious factor in the future relationships on l the Pacific ocean, which is rapidly be- coming an international arena. Establishment of full relations
 between new China and the greatest
 world force-the soviet federation
 represents the beginning of a new his torieal process" it declares
 The newspaper takes the view that despite the French note of protest
 the international imperialists will be powerless to interfere. To the Mussul- mans of East Afghanistan, Persia and
 Turkey, now are added 4oo.ooo,ooo Chinese, who realize that Russia is their only disinterested friend, it adds. The flood of recognitions is deemed
 to have greatly strengthened the po- sition of the government. President Kalenin speaking at Minsk said rec
 ognitions no longer had great value ,n ho ri erinr in the case of old debts and similar issues. He expressed the
 opinion that the claims of Russia and England would be shown to be about
