FRITZ SEEKS TRUTH

The former Crown Prince of Germany has writ
ten book Of which the most interesting thing is its
name. He calls it Il Seek the Truth
What he finds is possibly something else again.
Fritz RACES from to in frenzy of denun
citation of the Treaty of Versailles.
That document doubtless falls short of perfec-
ton as most Americans will readily agree. But it is
hard to go along with the royal author when he pro-
nounces the treaty "Golgotha of Truth, which is
bound to be resurrected,' and finds "a crown of
thorns7 in the Dawes plan. He is especially wrought
up the article which relates to Germany's war
guilt, and wants that retracted.
Not that it matters. The only interest in such
book by such author is its novelty But if the title
means what is says LET the author keep right on seek
ing; That is an admirable occupation for Hohen-
Zollern.

BALL BIRD CLUB
GUESTS WINTHROP
NATURE STUDY CLUB
Enjoyable Day With Nature
Lovers As Reported By
One Of the Group

On Thursday, when band of Moth
er Natures disciples took the trail to
Winthrop, she dried her early morning
tears and smiled. In the nature dele
cation were fern specialists. bird fan
.clers, gardeners, mushroom growers
and botanists, all known under the
somewhat misleading appellation Of
the Ball Bird Club. In response to a
Gracious invitation by the Nature
Study Club Of Winthrop and encour-
aged by the proper, sort OF an October
day. together with the balmy airs and
warm sunshine Of Florida's best. there
was an enthusiastic outpouring of
members from the Augusta club.
During the ride to Winthrop by au-
tomobile the members enjoyed the OBJ
portunity to admire Mother Nature
new fall gown. This garment was
made UP in most attractive color
combination of green and gold, russell
and brown, red and yellow and a few
intermediate shades. It was designed
and decorated by the worlds most ia
nous artist, Jack Frost. While the
dress was new, it showed signs of hard
usage and traces Of tears; but then,
what lady would not weep to have the
awkward East Wind and the boisterous
North Wind spill snow and ice over
such delicate fabric? It is also pos
sible that in trying to adapt her
buxona figure to the present straight
line mode the Dame had accidentlly
and unavoidably caused much Of the
havoc herself.
Upon arriving in Winthrop shortly
before noon the members were regaled
by tantalizing odors which appeared

church. The wisdom Of following their
noses was demonstrated to the men,
berS when upon entering the vestry of
the church beautifully decorated ta-
Bile laden with practically every varie-
ty of food was found spread before
| their dazzled eyes.
Preceding the luncheon a piano solo
| was rendered by a talented young art
list, Miss Gladys Kinds. This was
followed by a delightful reading from
Gene Stratton Porter by Mrs. York,
accompanied by Marsters York on the
| piano. The program closed with a yo-
cal solo by Marsters York which was
much enjoyed by all, as was evidenced
by the applause.
The place cards were novelties, clev-
erly and appropriately decorated, as
were the favors. Delightful little
cakes decorated artistically with pink
| flowers were one Of the original fea-
lures Of the luncheon. A general quiz
on nature subjects besides being in
structive was also quite amusing.
Some rs specimens Of MOSES COM
mon to the locality were exhibited and
| named. Amonk them were such spe-
cies as pylasia shrimperi, Catherinea
undulata. ptilium crista castrensis,
peltagira carrina, climacium, lecob-
ryum glaucum. polytrichum commune

varieties of cladonia and also a rare
specimen. called saelinea glaucescens.

found in any other part Of Maine.

the house, meaning by that. the side
away from the car. He declared that
a stop of from 80 to 100 feet with a
car Of that type at IL to Is miles an
hour would be good work. Much time
was consumed on cross examination
on questions having to do with the
way in which the car Is controlled
and the necessary procedure to stop
it quickly.
Conductor William keenan, said
that the car was going between 10
and is miles an hour at the time. He
knew nothing Of the accident until
the car was brought to stop as ne
was taking down his record from the
indicator when it occurred.
Stopped Car Quickly
Roy Shorey, 10 years old. OF North
Vassalboro, declared In answer 20
questions of Attorney Nelson that
he was called into the case for the
first time yesterday, (meaning We'd
nesday). He had been passenger
on the car, which was not going over
accident. He had been looking out
of the window and had seen a little
girl run out from the corner of the
house toward the track. The edge OF
the window had then cut off his VI
sion and almost at the same time the
motorman had reversed the car. The
car at that time was opposite the
O'Neil house, the next one to the
Williamson residence. The motor
man had made a quick stop.
On cross examination he declared
that he saw the girl for a very short
time, that he did not know Elsie
Williamson and couldn't say If 1t
was her or not. He had just seen q
little girl running toward the track.
The defense rested here and court
was adjourned until this morning at

ments of the opposing lawyers will
be heard and Justice Luere B. Deasy.

Thursday morning the traverse jur-

by a drawn jury but as Mr.. Lom-
bard was drawn, he was called upon
to act as foreman in this case.
