Germany made
her great bliuider
t the outset of the
war, a blunder that
has been twice re
peated once by Ger
many and once by tho
Allies. Winston Spencer
Churchill, formerly First
Lord of the British Admiralty,
shows that If Germany had
never built a single dread
nought, tho control of tho
British "navy could not have
been more effective than it Is.

'DOPE" PROSECUTORS
SEE HOPE OF VICTORY
Court Gives Jury Right to De
cide on the Possession of
Drugs
Hope of Federal Investigators of the De
partment of Justice, who have charge of
drug prosecutions under the Harrison act,
has been revived by the ruling of Jfcdge
Dickinson, In the! United States Circuit
Court, that It Is for tho Jury to deolde
whether or not a man violates the law by
having drugs In his possession.
Federal agents have iound many cases
where they wero virtually certain that men
with drugs In their possession had them to
cell, but could not prove an actual sale. By
a recent decision In tho Federal Court they
were forced to drop scores of such prose
cutlonN because the evidence had to be
complete In fact and not presumption. By
Judge Dickinson's decision tho jury will be
allowed to Judge whether or not a man
arrested with drugs In his possession had
them for tho purpose of selling, and, pre
sumptive cldonce will count toward a con
viction. Tho ruling was made yesterday In the
case of Oeorge II, Kellerman, a saloon
keeper, at Tenth and Spring streets: his
bartender, Harry Zimmerman, and Louis
Senson, a negro waiter, who wero charged
with having failed to register with Col
lector Lcderer and to pay the special tax
imposed on dealers Un habtt-formlng drugs.

f To buy the beat and buy wisely is
the problem confronting Piano buyers
today. . ',
f To listen to the claims of various
Piano dealers whose business is buying
and selling Pianos is to end where you
started knowing nothing of real Piano
value. , -v
J Businessmen and women who. make
every dollar buy a dollar's worth realize
that a responsible manufacturer who
makes his own product to sell to the con-
sumer can give more value than the dealer
who buys from unknown manufacturers,
adding his profits to the manufacturer's
before selling you.
I Cunningham Pianos are made here in
Philadelphia; they are sold to tfie home
direct You pay lees, butobtain greater
value.
J Buy wisely.
