DRASTIC STEP
TAKEN BY COURT
To Preevnt Delay in Completion
of Maysville Pike. Orders
Same Closed.

For several months United
States Government Engineers
have been engaged in reconstruct
ing the Maysville turnpike from
Mt. Sterling to Sharpsburg. Due
to thoughtlessness and indiffer-
ence on the part of teamsters
much damage has been done to
work in the process of compile
ton and much unnecessary delay
occasioned. This condition of
affairs continued to grow
worse instead of better, until it
became so bad as to demand the
attention of the Fiscal Court. At
its meeting Saturday it was made
plain to the court that if the work
is to- go on, the traffic must tenn
porarily be made to go around.
1t was shown that frequently
work is damaged so it must be
done over and in several instances
as many as four times. The court
hopes to see the work completed
this winter. Otherwise, great
loss to our warehouses and county
generally will result. The law
authorizes the County to close a
road for repairs to the extent of
one mile at a time and this the
court ordered done, its order be-
coming effective yesterday. Any
one who rides or drives within the
enclosed portion is subject to a
fine of from S. to SIS, and a guard
has been placed at either end day
and night.
We realize this will entail loss
to some of our merchants, es.
pecially those handling coal, etc,
yet we see no other course the
court could have pursued. In
fact, we have often wondered how
the engineers were able to do as
well as they have done with the
almost constant interference they
have suffered. People from
Sharpsburg can come to Mt, Ster-
ling by way of Flat Creek, or any
person beyond Judy can come
by way of the Van Thompson and
pixies or the Judy and
Flat Rock and Paris pixies.

LATEST WAR NEWS.

That the Germans are forcing
their way through Belgium is in
dicated by the Brussels report
that German cavalry is approach
ing the Belgian capital; tnat
measures for the defense of
Brussels are being fastened, and
that the seat of government has
been removed to Antwerp.
The British official press bu-
reau announces that any action
which Japan may take against
Germany will not extend beyond
the China seas, except for the
protection of Japanese shipping.
The British War Council has
decided to exclude COZ espon-
dents from the forces in the
field, and it is announced that
the French War Department in
tends to take the same action,
and that probably war cores
pondents in Belgium will be or
dered out of that State.
The German Emperor the
Crown Prince and two other i'm
perial Princes are now at the
great fortress of Mainz. The
Emperors' departure from Berlin
for the front has evoked en-
thusiasm in the German capital.
