London, Nov. 13.-A critical stage
in the battle in West Flanders has
been reached and the next few days,
or hours, should produce something
decisive.
The Germans with all the forces at
their command have continued to at
tack the British and French who
hold the line between DiXmude and
Ypres, but except for the capture of
Dixmude, which occurred Tuesday,
and some little progress around
Ypres, they have not made material
advance.
The French official report says all
the attacks have been repulsed. The
Germans no longer are utilizing
green troops in this region but have
brought up the pick of their army,
including some Prussian guards. who
attempted the offensive movement
! against the British but without sue
cess. Both sides express satisfaction
with the progress of the battle Ber-
lin says the allies attacks have been
repulsed and that their own attack
is making Roadway; while in London
and in Paris it is felt that as long as
the allies can hold the line of the ca
nal from Newport to Ypres their
position is strong.
The Russian army under General
Rennenkampff is fighting its way in
to East Prussia and has taken Jo
harrisburg, which is on the railroad
from Lyck to Soldak, both of which
towns are in Russian hands. This
gives to Russia the control of an i'm
portant railway line which skirts the
frontier in German territory and
several branch railways running into
the interior.
The central army. which drove the
Germans back from the Vistula, has
had only unimportant engagements

The Fine Of
$500.

The Court of Appeals Tuesday
reversed the case of the common
wealth of Kentucky against the
Louisville & Nashville railroad COM
pany from Christian county, send
ing it back for dismissal on peremp
tory instructions.
This was an Indictment charging
the railroad with MT furnishing
proper and adequate travelling ac-
commodations in their trains for
their colored passengers. 1t was al
legged that the separate compart-
ments for colored Peep were, in
many instances, too small to seat the
passany, rs and that only one closet
was furnished for DO h male and fe,
male passengers.
The indictment was returned or
evidence furnished by number OF
the leading negro citizens of Chris
tian county and at the trial of the
case the jury returned a verdict
finding the railroad company guilty
and assessing a fine of $500. The
decision holds that the law was moi

To Fight It Out In A Fresh
Revolution, Battle at Quer.
etaro Impending
Decisive Battle Near Queretaro
Expected Within the Next
Few Days.

Mexico City. Nov. 13.-Gen Pablo
Gonzales, commanding Mexican
forces at Queretara, loyal to General
Cara 70, has notified the war depart
ment that General Villa was converg-
ing his entire army at Lagos, mid
way between Aguascalientes and
Queretaro. Gonzales stated his
forces now numbered 10000 men,
while reinforcements were arriving
from other places. Villas strength
was not given in the message from
Gonzales.
1t is believed here decisive bat
tie will be fought in the vicinity Of
Queretaro within a few days, as the
concentration of Villas troops at
Lagos is said to be a reply of Con
zales' recent ultimatum that he and
other anti-Carranza generals resign
their commands and leave the coun-
try Immediately.

and Mouth Disease.
APPLIES TO LIVE SHIPMENTS.
Receipts From Tennessee Points
Are Prohibited In Govern
ment Order.

Yesterday morning H. c. Pierce,
of the Food Research Laboratory, of
Washington, arrived in the city and
ordered the Fox Bros. Co., to re-
ceive IGNORE shipments of, live fowls
from the state of Tennessee, on ac-
count Of foot and mouth disease
quarantine in that state. They were
also directed to quit buying at Tren.
ton, KY, which is within eight miles
of the state line. The order caught
them with 5000 turkeys at Bell
buckle, Tenn, about to be shipped
here to be killed. A conference was
being held yesterday afternoon with
Mr.. Pierce to decide what to do with
these fowls They can be shipped #
packed, but they have no facilities
for killing them at Bellbuckle. The
spread of the quarantine in this cat
tie disease threatens wholesale dis.
turbance to the business of this big
concern, which expected to handle
$100, 900 worth of poultry in the next
six weeks.
They have assurances that they
can still receive poultry here today
and Monday and can pack what they
have on hand, but cannot ship any
live fowls. They were shipping car
load lots of turkeys every day, not
having begun Strengthening here yet.
Now they must begin killing at once
and can only ship dressed poultry tc
points out of Kentucky. The pros
poets are that the bottom will DROP
out of poultry prices, if the whole
sale market is demoralized. The
ruling price is now IL cents for tur.
keys and cents for chickens.

UNITED STATES
MARINE BAND
Famous Musical Organization
ll3 Years Old To Be Here
Monday.

The Famous United States Marine
Band, which will visit Hopkinsville
next Monday, Nov. 10th, at the
Union Tabernacle, is ll3 years old.
Today the greatest military musical
organization in the western hemis
phere and the peer of the European
bands, it was at first a drum and fife
corps.
When the Marine Corps was es-
tablished under an act of Congress
approved by President John Adams
in 1898, the law provided for drum
and fife corps, sixteen drummers
and sixteen fifers. For a long time
there was no regularly recognized
leader. First one member and then
another would act as fife major, but
the American desire for progress be-
came manifest in this connection,
and musicians were imported from
abroad to supplement the severely
martial style of instruments to which
the band had been limited.
Italy provided a group of musi-
clans, who soon succeeded in placing
the band on something of an artistic
footing. Since that day its prestige
has steadily increased until it is now
one of the largest and most splendid
ly equipped Governmental organiza-
ton for musical performances the
world has ever Known.

RESENTED
President Objects To Tone Used
By Boston Negro In Ad-
dress on Rights.

Washington, Nov. 13.-Offended
by the tone and manner of their
chairman, w M. Trotter of Boston.
President Wilson ended an inter-
view with delegation of negroes,
who called at the White House to
protest against race segregation in
government departments, with a
warning that if the negroes wanted
to, see him again they would have to
get another spokesman. The Presi-
dent said he had not been addressed
in such fashion since he entered the
White House.
Trotter disputed a statement that
there had been danger of friction and
took issue with the President.He de-
clared the negro people did not seek
charity or assistance. but held that
they had equal rights with the
whites and that these rights should
be respected.
Mr.. Wilson waited for the protest
to end. Then he told the delegation
that he could not discuss the matter
further.

Ecuador and Colombia have been
warned empharically by Great Brit
ain and France that the allies will
not countenance further violations
of neutrality by these South Amer
lean states. Just what the infrac-
tons consisted of has not been made
public. but at the French embassy it
was said positive proof was in the
hands of the French government.
The British government charges
that the Galapagos islands off the
coast of Ecuador have been used
pract cally as a coaling base for
German ships, and that wireless
stations in both Ecuador and Colon
bia have been giving German sruis-
ers news of the whereabouts of the
British fleet. In fact, responsibility
for the defeat of the British cruisers
in the battle off the Chilean coast is
laid by British officials to some ex'
tent at the doors of Ecuador and
Columbia.
