THE following editorial is foom
Wednesdays Courier Dournal:
: The proposed improvement 10
Boone Way from Crab Orchard
to Cum berlard Gap would pro-
vide an inlet, from the roads now
macadamized in the central coun-
ties, into an exceptionally pictur-
esque section of the Kentucky
mountains. No little b enefit to
the counties traverSed would
arise from the tourist travel clone.
The partly famous Bluegrass
regions now offers the tourist the
only extensive mileage of really
good roads in the state. 1t is a
section which has had improved
roads for the better part of a
CENTURY. The limestone high
ways have both reflected and af-
fected the welfare of the group of
counties of which FaYette is the
hub. To the beart of the high
lands is but a short crows flight
from the limestone roads of the
counties bordering the foothills of
the Cum berlands. But the way is
tortuOus and torturing over the
roads that exist A motor vehicle
inlet would open to the ever-in
creasing stream of tourists a Sec
ton which has fascinated the i'm
agina'iOn of motorists, but has
been barred to all but the adven-
turous. And even to the adven-
turous, efforts to penetrate the
mountains have often proved mis-
adventure.
Motorists in Kentucky. save in
favorable weather in the summer
and early autumn, are virtually
limited to the central counties !
These counties have been explored 4
by nearly everyone who makes
week end tours. There are many |
motorists to whom Central Ken
lucky is an old story, and who
would like nothing better than
trips through the more ruggid Sec
tons of the State.
The promoters of the improve
ment of Boone Way have inaugur-
ated their missionary work at a
time when the first intercounty
system of good roads outside of |
the Bluegrass is yet to be made.
The proposed Improvement should
awaken the interest OF the people
of the counties viii b lie betwee U
Crab Orchard and Cumberland
Gap. OF course, there would be
other, and greater benefits than
the attraction of automobile traf-
fc, but the money that would be
distributed along the route by mo-
florists would amount to a good
deal each year, and the improve
ment of acquaintanceship between
the mountains and other parts of
the State would be valuable to both
the highlands and the lowlands,'

GUNB0ATS CLASH
CANADIAN GUNBOAT RAINBOW
WAS IN ACTION AGAINST
GERMAN CRUISERS.
Chilean Neutrality Was Violated
BY Germans.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Portland, Ore.-According to an IN
confirmed report received here the
Canadian gunbOat Rainbow was in
action against the German cruisers
Leipsiz and Nurnberg in Pacific
waters several weeks ago. The date
of the reported engagement and its
location are not given.
According to the story, which is
said to have been told by an English
man residing in Canada, the Rainbow
suddenly came upon the German
cruisers, and the latter Immediately
opened fire. The Rainbow replied
and was putting up a stiff battle
against great odds when the French
cruiser Montcalm came to her rescue.
The Montcalm opened fire on the Ger
mans, who, after firing several more
broadsides, steamed away in the face
of the Montcalm's superior arma-
ment.
The Rainbow is said to have been
so badly damaged in the engagement
that it was necessary for the Mont
calm to tow her to the Canadian ma
val base at Esquimault No confir-
nation of this story is to be had from
Canadian sources.
The cannOnading heard off Coos
Bay several weeks ago has never been
satisfactorily explained, and it is
highly probable that those who heard
the booming of guns were not mis-
taken, and that it was the engage
ment between the little Rainbow and
the two German cruisers.
PortguIar Votes For Intervention.
London.-The London Star has re-
ceiyed a dispatch from Lisbon which
says that the Portuguese Congress
voted the governments proposal for
military intervention in the war by
Portugal The vote, it is assumed,
places Portugal on the side of the
allies.
Chilean Neutrality Is Violated.
Santiago, Chilean official state
ment, issued by the maritime author
tiles, says that il has been proved
that German warships have been vio-
lating the neutrality of Chile by stay
nandez Islands, capturing two neutral
ships, Selling coal and provisions and
sinking the French bark Valentine
half mile distant from the Chilean
coast.

GREAT REVIVAL
CROP PROSPECT
ABOUT AMERICAS
RESULT OF RECENT RAINS
Very Few Sections Missed
the Moisture

Farmers coming to Americas yester
day were in good spirits at the general
crop prospect in Sumter, following the
recent rains here. Vegetation of every
kind is looking up" and the farmers
are geratly encouraged. In several
portions of the county rain has been
plentiful this week and there are few
localities in which there has been no
rain.
The corn crop is now considered on
the safe side, while cotton, though not
suffering heretofore, is greatly bene-
fitted.
If there is any truth in the saying
that there will be no grapes if any
thunder is heard on the first day of
June, there will be no crops of this
kind this year, as several heavy cIaps
of thunder were heard Monday. People
who have watched say they have never
known the indication to fail.
There is going to be large black
berry crop, but the dry weather has
greatly injured the huckleberries.

WILSON FEELS
HIS POLICIES
ARE ENDORSED

Washington, D. c., June 4.-Press
reports and private advices from Flor
ida indicating that Senator Duncan
U. Fletcher won handsomely in yes
terjays primary were hailed with de-
light in Washington today, especially
the friends of the Wilson admins
tration. The Fletcher victory is ac-
cepted as a further evidence of the
fact that the president enjoys the con-
fidence of the people, and that his pol
icis meet with general approval. The
reports are particularly gratifying,
said an administration senator today
Senator Fletcher deserved to win on
the record he has made in congress.
He has stood by the president Loyalty
from the very first, and has had q
large part in shaping the administra-
ton legislative program. His victory
cannot but strengthen the president 5
plan to force rural credits legislation
at this session of congress. Senator
Fletcher is the author of the admins
tration bill dealing with this subject
and was chairman of the commission
named by the president to make an
exhaustive study of the question and
report to congress.

Attempt to Weaken.

An attempt was made in the Flor
ida campaign to weaken Senator
Fletcher because of his steadfast 10y
atty to the president in the matter
of Panama tolls and the New Yo k
American this morning in a dispatch
from Jacksonville declared that
Fletcher has been defeated in the
primaries because of his attitude on
this question. The facts of course
do not bear out this assertion of the
Hearst paper, because Fletcher was
re-nominated. The people of Florida
endorsed his stand on the tolls cues
ton and indicated that they approve
the course of the president in opposi-
ton to this subsidy to the American
shipping trust. 1t is expected that
Senator Fletcher will hasten back to
Washington following his victory and
that inspired by the vote of con-
fidence given him by the people of
Florida will begin at once to press
the rural credits legislation, in which
the president is so interested as a
means of helping the farmers of the
nation.
