GRADUALLY COMING To TERMS
After another week of uncertain
ties. announcement is made from
London that the peace ENJOYS are
gradually coming TO an agreement.
The Turks have been putting up =
valiant fight, more valiant even IN
the peace councils than on the bat
tie field. They have played for time
and have been good at the game of
bluff. But the allies have caught on
and have rcsorted TO ultimatums to
quicken action, and bring their op-
ponents to their senses. While 1t was
thought that negotiations might be
broken off entirely. Monday, the
Turks made new concessions. and at
present an agreement has been
reached as to territory with the
possible exception OF the status Of
Adrianople. II the allies do not weak

DISTINCTIVE FEATURES

A recent letter to The Citizen high
by commends our treatment OF the
news-its separation into the diyis-
ions OF State. United States and
World News, and the fact that IL is
80 condensed and 30 thoroughly reli-
able as TO appeal 10 all. The sugges-
ton is made that The Citizen. better
than any other paper. could be used
in current events classes in schools,
and we happen to know that 1t has
been so used In some instances.
Other Features Appeal
And this and other letters speak of
our many feature articles such as the
Home Science Course which ends
this week. and the continued stories
also come In for the high praise. The
suggestion is made that the latter
could be used effectively on Friday
afternoons. the teacher reading them
TO the entire school and. upon demand
loaning the paper To those most in
terested who would promise to re-
peat the story at the fire-side.

Such letters justify our claim that

WILLING TO ARBITRATE


President Taft in a speech in New
York., Saturday night, declared his
willingness to submit the points Of
dispute between the United States
and Great Britain respecting canal
tolls to arbitration.
The president would favor a special
commission composed equally of
Americans and Englishmen, rather
than the Hague Court, which would
consist almost exclusively of Europe
ans.
HE HAS AND HE HAS NOT
Washington reports declare that
| w. j. Bryan has been offered the
position of Secretary of State BY
President-elect Wilson, and that h
has accepted. Mr.. Wilson, however,
has declared that he has made 10
selections, and will announce none
until the last moment. The Washing
ton report purports to be based upon
the confession of Mr.. Bryan himself
to friends.
PRESIDENTS PLAN OPPOSED
President Taft went to Panama for
the purpose Of deciding whether con-
ditions were ripe for the establish
ment of civil government in the zone,
and returned with the expectation of
issuing an executive order putting in
to effect civil government about the
first of February, but it is rumored
now that he may not take such a
step, owing to the opposition that
has developed in Democratic circles.
Il is doubted whether the nomina-
ton of Col. Goethals for the governor
ship would be confirmed. The Senate
Democrats are not opposing the Col
onel so much. but wish the matter
delayed. in order that the Democratic
administration may get credit for the
movement.
ROCKEFELLER TO TESTIFY
The House Committee investigat-
Ing the money trust has been try
ing for several weeks TO summon VIM.
Rockefeller to testify, but all efforts
failed 10 locate him. Voluntarily, how
ever. Friday, he accepted service thru
his attorney. and is to appear be-
fore the Committee, the 18th. His
testimony will only be second in in
terest to that of j. p. Morgans.
CONGRESSMAN SUICIDES
Representative VIM. w. Wedemeyer
of Michigan became insane at Panama
during the Presidents recent visit to
the Isthmus, and jumped overheard
at Colon. Friday. His body had not
been recovered at latest reports.
DEATH IN COLLISION
Twenty-Five lives were lost in
Chesapeake Bay Friday. when two
steamers collided. The captain and
his wife were among the drowned on
the steamer, which received the great
list damage, the survivors claiming
that the other steamer refused as
sistance TO the crippled vessel.
SEEKING RELEASE
The forty-three men imprisoned
last week at Leavenworth. Kansas,
having bcen sentenced by the United
States Court at indianapolis for terms
varying in length for conspiracy in
certain dynamite outrages. are endeav-
oring thru their attorneys TO secure
release on bail, pending new trial.

McCREARY HESITATES

Governor McCreary is receiving a
good deal of advice as to his con-
templated entry into the senatorial
contest. He Is being strongly urged
both ways, many friends doing all
they can to prevent him from becom-
ing a candidate, and urging his obliga-
ton to the state to fill out his term
as governor. On the other hand, q
good many are just as urgent in their
demands that he run. A decision will
probably be reached in a few days.
FIRE DESTROYS NEWSPAPER
PLANT
The plant of the State Journal at
Frankfort was destroyed by fire early
Monday morning, the loss being esti-
mated at from thirty-five to forty
thousand dollars. The fire started in
a bindery on the 3rd floor and gained
great Roadway before it was discover
ed. Much of the state printing. which
was being done, was burned. The
presses on the first floor were only
slightly damaged The linotypes on
the End floor were injured by ma
chinery falling from the 3rd.
The paper was issued Tuesday from
another plant.
A HUNG JURY
The case OF ID. f. Deaton, being
tried at Winchester, charged with
conspiracy to murder ex-sheriff Gala
han in Breathitt County, was given
to the jury Saturday afternoon. Mon
day morning the jury reported that
it was unable to agree, but was or
dered by the Judge to continue its
deliberations.
Senator Hogg, who is an attorney
for the defense, became so bitter in
his denunciations OF the prosecution,
Saturday, that the court ordered a
fine OF $40 to be entered against
him because he persisted In arguing
his point.
The Jury was disbanded, Tuesday,
no agreement being possible.
OTHER DEFENDANTS ON TRIAL
Two other defendants in the Gala
han conspiracy cases, Andrew John
son and Doc Smith, were placed on
trial at Winchester, Monday, the
Judge overriding a motion to dis
miss Johnson.

Dyre Counties, Tenn, where there

Second and third base are open
to argument. Eddie Collins looks
best to Us, but Lajoie, Doyle Evers
and Yerkes dispute his ascendancy
at second.
We prefer Zimmerman at third,
but others have good reasons for
favoring Baker, Herzog, Byrne and
LObert.
Archer seems head and shoulders
above other catchers, but Bresna-

For a pitching staff, we would
choose Walsh, Mathewson, John

such stars as Ford, Marquard,
Bender, Plank, Coombs, Camnitz,
Salleey Dubuc, Gregg and Alexan-

After all this all-star team bust
