John H. Patterson.
The United States court of appeals has
set aside the jail sentence and >5000 fine
imposed on John H. Patterson, Dayton,
O., millionaire, on charges of violating
the Sherman anti-trust law. Patterson
was convicted in the lower court with "G

ed of having "close relations with the
enemy." Correspondence found in hla
room:) is said to indicate he had .been
charged with the task of blowing up the
Touraine. He has been taken to Havre.

hold.
Witnesses stated, according to the
Matin, they had been amazed at a state-
ment made during the voyage by a fellow
passenger when they were discussing
German threats to torpedo ships passing
through the war zone. This passenger is
quoted as having remarked: "Oh, that
isn't the only war zone that would be
dangerous; Germany is strong enough to
do what she wants. This ship herself,
even before she reaches the war zone,
might be obliged to have recourse to the
doctors and nurses aboard to care for the
passengers."
The passenger quoted as having boast-
ed of Germany's power was listed on the
ship's records as "Raymond Swoboda, 38
years of age, an American subject; pro-
fession financier; destination Paris."

so bad that I was unable to look after
my business. In fact, I was completely
broken down in health. A friend of mine
suggested that I try Plant Juice. I have
now been taking Plant Juice for the past
ten days and 1 feel greatly improved in
my general health. My stomach digests
my food better, and I do not suffer from
the pain as 1 formerly did. I can rec-
ommend Plafit Juice for it has certainly
helped me."
