GENERAL kuRokl NOT DEAD

The rumor that General kurokl, tue
brilliant leader of the Japanese forces
in Korea and Manchuria, had met ms
death on the field during che engage
ment of Oct is denied.
From Japanese headquarters the
most reliable source OF Information
throughout the war, the rumor has
been officially put at rest and may
therefore. be considered simply as
Russian atrategem.
Not only in the present Titanic
ytruggle in the east has this Famous
warrior disclosed the qualities Of mil
tiary nrowess, tactical skill and per-
sonal fcrtitude, but he has BEEN
revered by the Japanee people FOR
many years. having inherited from

out a hard fight and the result will be

by the convention Friday One thing
almost certain Is that the next con.

held in any city above Louisville.
There is an unwrtten law of the as
ISOLATION to alternate the conventions
between cities on the east and west of
Louisville, Ky. If this is followed In
choosing the city for the next conven'
ton, Portsmouth, Ohio, whose dele.
