Inspiring Sight We were well repaid for^remaimng where wc were, It has been a most inspiring sight, following the lowering of the boat3 with marines for the landing, as the big battleship* like­ wise the , battleship Maryland and Tennessee and about! fifteen or twenty dotreyers and light cruisers patroll­ ed back and forth along the cost for a distance of perhaps ten miles, fir­ ing their guns in shore from time to time, while five or six powerful search lights on shore directed the return fire and several flyer;; circled over head dropping flares representing bombs.

While the newspaper men got a big thrill out of the night’s events, it seemed strange to us that practically all c f the officers and men not, oh duty slept the night away, as if noth­ ing unusual was going on. True, in the early evening they stood by and .vatched the shore line, but when the writer wandered forward over the ship after the midnight hour, he had o use great care riot to stumble over men everywhere on the deck, wrapped in their, blankets and fast asleep. The whole thing to them was just part ot Aday’s work. In actual battle It weak, have been different no doubt.

Johnson, attorney, turned over to Prosecutor J. C. Marshall, {Saturday a-list of six Xenia business jplaces and two- Jamestown places, that had been open the- Sunday pro 1vions in violation of the Sunday laws. |*The evidence had been secured by a state deteective, W. * , Matthews of Columbu?. It is not expected that the Prosecutor will even present the evi­ dence to the Grand Jury. Friends of the Prt.Beentor have urged against the Sunday blue' law and closing of busi­ ness houses over the county. What at Orta time looked like a great crusade for law enforcement in the county lias gone up like a bursted toy balloon.' It has cost the county considerable in the Prosecutor’s campaign and the fifty charges he was supposed to have as the result of detectives he had em­ ployed at the expense of the taxpay­ ers are held in cold storage. To have gone into these cases would have wrecked the Prosecutor’s political household and he let the crusade die to avert threatened exposures that would not only have been embarnssing but startling,.
