Rely on Election Called by Coun-

City Wards.

Under section $500 of the Ken
lucky statutes, which authorizes
any number of citizens of the
county, not Jess than ten, to be
known as the contestants, to con-
test any local option election,
Messrs. d. N. Young, Teddy

E. B. Gibobns, ]. H. Withrow,
William Rynn, Joe Carter, Frank
Gibbons, G. B. Biedleman, Frank
Young and J. A. Walch filed Sat-
urday with County Court Clerk
Keller Greene written grounds of
contest of the election held in
Montgomery county on Septem-
Der 18th. The eight grounds of
contest are in substance as fol-
lows:
I. That the recent Act of the
General Assembly of Kentucky,
commonly known as the new
County Unit Law is unconst1tu-
tional and void because it de-
prives the contestants of their
property without due process OF
law and abridges their privileges
as citizens of the United States
and denies them the equal pro-
lection of the law as is guaran-
teed them by the Constitution ot
the United States and the Con sti-
tuition of Kentucky.
2. That said County Unit Law
violates section 81 of the Ken
lucky Constitution by destroying
the individuality of precinct
and attempting to make the coun-
ty the unit to the prejudice of
the precinct That said law is al
so illegal because it permits
twenty-five per cent. of the vot-
ers of an entire county to call for
a submission of the question. in
stead of that per cent. in each
precinct to be effected.
3. That said election of Sept.
18th. is illegal and void because
the second, third and fourth
wards of Mt. Sterling went "wet"
on the preceding Saturday, which
election was regularly called By
County Judge Chenault and can
not be disturbed for three years.
4. That the voters of said
second, third and fourth wards
were entitled to and had declar-
ed themselves in favor of the sale
of spirituous, vinous and malt
liquors and the result on Sept,
18th was the will OF the entire
county and not the will of the
voters of said three wards. l.

DECISIVE FIGHT NOT
NEAR, SAYS BERLIN
Turn in Western Theatre
of War Likely To Be De-
layed Some Time.

Berlin (via London), Sept. 2S.-Ihe
correspondent of the "Lokal Anzeiger'
in a dispatch published here to-day
points out that a decisive turn in the
battle which has been raging in the
western theatre of the war need not be
expected for some time. Subordinate
actions Of a decisive character are be-
coming more general, the correspond
emit SAYS. The losses Of the Germans
have been extraordinarily heavy, and
tho fact that those Of the enemy have
been even greater is poor consolation.
The troops are confident that in the
end they will win the action.
A long column Of French prisoners
of war arrived during the week from
the direction Of Rheims. Last Monday
the correspondent met a column OF
about 1000 men, whose faces showed
that they we're glad to have at last es-
caped the turmoil end terrors Of this
greatest Of modern bsttletields.
Continuing, the correspondent says:
any own experience and that of officers
is that the population of Northern
France is maintaining a satisfactory at
titude. We meet such frieudliness as
is reasonable to expect under the cir
cumstsnces. Conditions in France ars
much better than in Belgium"
King Albert Praised.
The fighting near LOuvain in the sec
ond week of September, which led to
the assertion hat Belgians and French
had retaken this city, is described in
the Cologne Gazette" This paper
says that on ths second day OF the
fighting Belgian troops advanced 10
within two kilometres "a little more
than one mile) Of the Louvain railroad
station and poured q heavy artillery
fire over the station building and the
immediate neighborhoOd. This COM
nailed the small German force Of oc-
eupation to fall back before three Bel
gian divisions, which were led BY King
Albert himself.
The King displayed wonderful bra
yery. A little later, however, the Ger
man field howitzers shelled the enemy
with such force that q hRsty retreat re-
suited. The losses of the BelRians were
heavy, while the German artillery did
not lose s single man in killed or
wounded.
On the following day, the Cologne
Gazette" continues, the Germans, who
in the meanwhile had bsen reinforced,
attacked the Belgiaps. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that the BelRians we're nu
merieally four times Superior 10 the
Germans, they were completely defeat

Washington, Sept. 2s.-General Car
rama has signifed his willingness mol
to become a candidate for the Presi-

similar promise, and if all the milit"ry
leaders OF the revolution could be also
eliminated as possibilities. None OF the
others have appeared as candidates.
Villas assurances were regarded
here as portending a peaceful end oi
the rupture with Carrsnza. The formal
retirement of Carranza and the as
sumption Of the provisional Presidency

peeted to follow. +
Assurances from General Villa that
he will not be candidate for Presi'
dent or Yice-President Of Mexico were
forwarded to the administration to-day
by Consular Agent CarTothers.
General Funston reported late to-day
that Zapata had protested to him
against the evacuation of Vera Cruz
and delivery of the city TO Carrsnzs
forces.
The State Department tonight was
without information from Mexico City
but it was generally believed in OFF,
cial circles that if General CarranEs
resigns on Thursday, as has been de-
cIared he will, the convention called
bv him for that date will name as his
successor Fernando Iglesiss Calderon
