BANKER FRIEND THOUGHT TALK WAS PATRIOTIC: LaMoure Man Who: Katew: Brin- ton as Boy Tells Court ‘of -Meeting —_—_— COULDN'T RECALL FLAG Garrison Woman’s Memory Poor on One Point, Good:on Others Banker Hunt. of .LaMoure, a knew Job W. Brinton as a boy at Fes- senden, testified in federal court this afternoon that \he heard Brinton’s Kulm address and found nothing sedi- tious or disloyal in it. Mrs. Gail Kitts of Garrison, who adm({tted: that’ Mrs. | J. E. Sullivan, wife ~of the govern-| ment’s principal witness, hiad hot been | neighborly. thought: Brinton:-hadstalk- ed patriotism about thirty minutes in| his Garrison ‘5; +h. She couldn't re~ member what he said on this subject, nor could she recall whether ‘there was an American flag in the hall or whether any patriotic. hymns were sung at. the meeting. Her memory, was very clear, however, as to the | things which Brinton did not say. Si- mon~Junks, a farmer and coal miner living near’ Garrison, went on the stand and corroborated other evidence ‘given by witnesses for the defense as to the guilelessness of Brinton’s re- marks at Garrison. Aside from: an ‘admission on cross examination from Mrs. A. B.. Currier, publisher of a Garrison newspaper which is friendly to the league, that Brinton talked patriotism five minutes and steel trust and ‘Townley soup" and hours and thirty. minutes; nothing:new was brought out ‘by: the government this morning in the<trial of J. W. Brinton. general. manager of ‘the Townley chain stores. 6 L. A.

He did not hear anything disloyal in Brinton’s talk and:stated that Brintor did not make* the declarations upon wales the government's indictment is as Fraser Testifies. R. L. Fraser, @ league member of the last house of representatives, and league candidate. for state senator from the ‘McLean county district, was the most important witness for the de- fense Tuesday afternoon in the trial of J. W. Brinton, Townley Chain Stores general manager, under indict, ment for sedition as..a result of ad- dresses made to chain store certificate holders at Garrigon and Kulm. Fraser as chairman of ‘the Garrison .meet: ing, introduced Brinton, and. was de- scribed by J. E. Sullivan, one of the government's principal’ witnesses, a8. “official clap-master.” Fraser heard Brinton say nothing out of the way. He testified that Brin- ton had stated that while the farmers; borrowed money at ten per cent to! buy: bonds, profiteering corporations | were charging the government exorb- itant profits, but that he, Brinton, urged his hearers to buy..bonds. He heard Erinton make no reference to: the Kaiser. He couldn't recall the exact figures Brinton had used in de- tailing the profits of the Steel trust and other corporations, but he said the figures that had appeared in the; newspapers were cerrect. Fraser sald he was not'a Nonparti- san but a republican, although he en- dorsed the prineiples of the Nonparti- san league. When Hildreth asked him! if it was not true that Sullivan had | have arrived in London at last. _ opposed him politically and had brand- ed him as a socialist and a man un- fit to ‘hold public office, Fraser in- (errapted with; “I.am NOT a social- ist.” ton’s fate arose from the fact that he (the witness) was chairman of the Garrison ‘meeting and would be held responsible for any disloyal utterances made there. Asked as to Brinton’ 's politics, Fras- er said he understood he was a dem- ji ocrat; he believed Brinton had told him he was a democrat. He did not/ been a postmaster somewhere. under Taft. naming a democratic asked Attorney Hildreth. Fraser said that Sullivan's reputa- tion was not good; that he was a representative in Garrison of “the interests;” that a banker and a res- taurant man had fold him (the wit- ness) that Sullivan's reputation for truth and honesty, and veracity was postmaster,” SOUTH DAKOTA ‘EXPECTS FAIR Pierre, S. D., July 24.—Although in South Dakota, the general impres- sion received from statewide reports is that the crops. will be satisfactory. ord breaking yields, however, conditions. have been welcomed. Long dry spells caused considerable damage in some localities. In this section of the state, barley, winter rye, and other early small grain crops, are in the shock. Hay-| ing is in full blast on the prairies. Wheat will be ready for cutting next week and farmers today are prepar- ing to gebin this work on ney or Wednesday.

The suggestions are: 1.. Germany wants no annexations 9 indemnities in the west. 2. The peace treaties with Rou-{ nea and Russia may not be ques- | tioned. 3. The self-deiermination of,. the epoples.has not been discussed, but may be settled at. the peace confer- ence where the fate of Belgium also is to be setNed. 4.

The French war office reports heavy artillery fire around Rheims, and the repulse of heavy counter attacks in the vicinity of Vrigny, five miles south- west of Rheims. Increased Resistance Nothing is said of the progress of the increased German re- sistance north'of the Marne, nor,around Montdidier, where the French took positions dominating the Avre river. From unofficial sources it is reported that the rainy weather of the last few days has.slowed up the fighting between Soissons ‘and Rheims and probably also has retarded the German retire- ‘ment from the bag in which the crown prince’s forces were caught by General Mangin’s thrust against the western side of the salient. = Retreat to River Allied airmen report conditions back of the German line as indicative of the German retreat to the Vesle river. The line of the Ourcq has virtually been rendered untenable by the allies’ ad- vance to the neighborhood of Oulchy le Chateau and Oulchy le Ville, ‘north of the stream. South of Soissons the French and Americans are known to ‘ have reached the western bank of the Crise river. Should the allies {succeed in crossing the Crise in force and gaining the plateau to” the eastward of that stream, German occupation of Soissons would be short-lived. For this’reason, ‘the allies’ efforts to forge east- ward of Buzancy may be expected to be redoubled, and the Ger- man resistance at this point probably will be of the sternest char- j acter. / ADVANCE IS STEADY " Washington, D. C., July 24.—The advance of the allies sid American forces ar ound. the Marne-Aisne salient has been steady for thie past two days, despite the fact that 15 divisions of the German troops have been thrown into the lines at Soissons and” South of there. | The Germans are fighting desperately to retain the‘ single jrailway line remaining in their hands, over which’ material can be removed as they retreat, General: March said. If that. railway, running ‘from. Fimes, to Fere en Tardenois is. reached by the. allied troops, General March said, German “forces remaining in the salient will be pocketed. The chief of staff said the American divisions he mentioned last Saturday as:involved-in the fighting were constantly engaged. He added that no additional American units to those already known \to be on the line in this region. H On the Rheims side of the salient official reports show the enemy has been thrown back one and one-half miles On this front, pameies the high country and woods on this ground to aid in his. lefenses. i CONTINUED PURSUIr Washington, D.
