German waves—waves of U-boats, air
raid waves, gas waves, army waves,
waves of terrorism, propaganda waves
—all have been dashed to pieces
against a granite rock. The waves
still hiss and foam, but the rock is un-
moved. It has taken the Prussians
four years to see this; but they do see
it now, and Von Kuehlmann is the one
who tells what they see. ,
That his statement is an official con-
fession of defeat, is evident front the
declaration that all Germany wants in
the way of territory is her historic
boundary line and her lost colonies.
The "historic boundary" includes Al-
. . ,. . ,j , . i sace and Lorraine. The gist of the an-
tion that there flourished the master • .

AUSTIN, Tex., June 2fl.-The Court of
Criminal Appeals today affirmed the eaae
of Willie Porter, from Bell County, given
a life term for the murder of Miss Emma
Staley, the opinion belujr written by Asso-
ciate Judge Prendergast. The record shows
that Miss Staley Mas murdered at a straw
stack near her home, and her body thrown
into the Leon River, where it WAS found
several days later. ,
Other cases affirmed were: Torn IIolMs,
from Tarnuit, theft over $50, two years;
J. S. Payne, from Ilardln, carrying a pis-
tol, $100 fine and thirty days in Jail; L.
A. Campbell, from Jones, manslaughter,
two years; Edward Beason, from Chero-
kee, assault to rape, seven years; Lester
Meador, from Jack, carrying a pistol, $100
fine.
Because the trial court erred In permit-
ting the Introduction of testimony preju-
dicial. tho higher court reversed and re-
manded the case of M. 11. Bibb, from Tom
Green, given a life sentence upon convic-
tion of the murder of a man named Stokes.
Other cases reversed and remanded were:
Jerry Haynes, from Cpshur, murder, ten
yearn, because of the failure of the trial
court to charge upon tho question of ac-
cident, tho court limiting the charge to
negligent homicide; Neil Lacey. from
Kaufman, uiurder, fourteen years, because
court erred in refusing to admit evidence
as to the reputation of the dfCaitali
Frank Allen, from Kills, embezzlement,
two years.
Reversal was ordered in tho case of V.
Terretto, from Harris, convicted of unlaw-
ful sale of liquor and given one year.
The judgment of the lower court was re-
versed because of the Insufficiency of proof
as to the location of the bulldiug 111 which j
the sale is alleged to have been made as '
designated in the Indictment. The higher
court said that there was no proof of the
allegation contained In the Indictment
charging that the City of Houston had
nassed an ordinance fixing saloon limits.
I'he alleged ordinance ami the manner of
Its adoption Is set out quite fully in tho
Indictment, but there appears to have been
a failure to prove tho fact thus alleged.

Karlsruhe. Good results were observed,

statutory offense and given ninety-nine
years.
"W« are of the opinion that appellant
should have had ample time to prepare fur
Europe of the Crescent.
But the Crescent, no less than kaiser-
ism, eventually will have to be driven
out of the continent of the Cross, in
all probability. As a nation, Turkey
either will have to civilize, or cease
to be. The Turks and the Teutons are
the Amalekites and the Ninevites of the
age, with this difference: there is the
possibility of their suppression to be
counted on, so we need not talk of ex-
terminating them at this stage of the
crusade for universal decency. Yet,
unless they cease to be a plague upon
the face of the earth, they will have
to be wiped out like any other plague
—bubonic or smallpox, yellow or black
—lest they wipe out still more millions
of innocent humanity!
Whether our ultimatum to Constan-
tinople shall succeed or fail, it must
be said now that there would be noth-
ing but consistency in warfare against
Turkey by any nation, any people, that
refuses to look upon God's creatures
as cattle to be driven and slaughtered.
It is this refusal to hate mankind and
loathe morality that explains the pres-
ence of the United Stales In the strug-
gle against Hohenzollern and Haps-
burg tyranny. Yet the Turks, even be-
fore the days of their German tutelage
that began in 1914, have massacred
their scores of thousands where the
Germans have massacred only thou-
sands—for lack of larger opportunity.
