Mrs. z. z Powell. !


Friends here OF Rev DR.. u. l.. Powell,
pastor Of the First Christian Church OF
Louisville. were deeply grieved yester-
day to learn of the death of his wife.
which occurred suddenly on Saturday.
DR.. Powell Is one OF tho most noted
ministers in tho American pulpit, and
his fame as an orator has extended far
beyond the bounds OF the denomination
he serves. He conducted services in
Richmond in March OF 1906 and has
hundreds OF warm friends and admirers
In this city and throughout the State.
The death of Mrs. Powell came with al
most no warning. She had been removed
to ST. Joseph's 1nf1rmary to undergo an
operation which 1t was not suspected
would prove serious. The trouble was
more grave than was at first supposed.
however. DIR. Powell was summoned
from Franklin, KY, where he was con-
Quoting services and he returned home
almost without suspicion of the ordeal
that awaited him.
Mrs. Powell who before her marriage
was Miss Ida p. Smoot, was native
OF Maysville, Ky. She was married to
DR.. Powell on May H. 1887. and had
shared his work and afforded him aid
and inspiration during his long pastor :,
ate. She was held in great love and and
esteem by the congregation. Besides her

KAISER DEMANDS

He viii Otherwise De-
cline Suggested Neu-

BERLIN. April 1s.-While the atten-
ton Of the world has been directed to the
coming Hague conference through the
peace congress. just held in New York,
the announcement made of what atti-
tude Germany will take at The Hague
on the proposition TO neutralize all mer-
camille marines by international agree
ment. thus abolishing tho seizure Of
merchant vessels in time OF war, is Of
great interest.
Briefly stated. Germany's position Is
this:
The Kaiser's government viii not ac-
cept naturalization except with the con-
dition that there shall be no bIockades
Of commercial ports during wars.
Germany recognizes the humane ten
dency of the proposal to neutralize
merchant marines. but objects 10 II
on the ground that IT fayors nations
possessing powerful navies at the eX-
pense Of countries with smaller fleets.
Isolated raids on enemies mercantile
marine offer the sole possibility for
weak naval power TO injure its stronger
antagonist. The naturalization Of mer-
camille marines, Germany holds, tends
10 being humane step to benefit only
the stronger nation and place the weak
countries still more at the mercy OF
powerful rivals.
Naturalization would prevent the small
nations from lnfiictlng any damage
while allowing the strong countries to
annlhilate their weak enemies trade by
a blockade Of their coasts.
The only condition on which Germany
win agree 10 naturalization is that
'olockades shall be prohibited by inter
national treaty This demand does not
include the prohibition OF blockading
naval ports.
In view OF the fact that England and
other great naval powers viii probab bly,
never relinquish the right TO blockade
an enemy's entire coast. GermRny's at
titude seems 10 be that the neutrality
proposition win be considered at The
Hague conference.
