NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-With more

had been stranded in Europe on &C
count of the war, aboard the liner Gel
tic arrived at the pier here today.
The Celtic carried 304 persons in the
first cabin, COG in the second and 656
in the steerage.
On the night of August 13 resolu-
tion was adopted by the passengers
which will be submitted to President
Wilson, asking him to do all he can
to relieve the conditions of the Ameri-
cans abroad. F'

"New York on election night is moth

after great difficulty, motored to Hav-

Southampton. "The boat is supposed
to accommodate only 2OO," said Gabel,
"but there were eleven hundred per-
sons on board"

The German forces, stationed west
of Liege, are receiving reinforcements
of infantry and artillery.
The fact that heavy artillery is be-
ing moved to the front in big quanti-
ties indicates to the military experts
that the big battle between the invad-
ers and allies is nearly at hand.
Behind the long skirmish line, which
has effectually served as a cloak, Gen
eral Won Emmich, the German COM
mander-in-chief, has evidently been
marshalling his forces forward into
the most advantageous positions. Dis
patches from the front show that the
column which is heading toward Ant
werp has also made considerable pro-
gress.

The Belgian line of defense, south
of Antwerp, is the latest to have its

ENTERS CANAL

PANAMA, Aug. 15.-The opening of
the Panama canal to ships of 10000
tonnage was celebrated today with
elaborate ceremonies. Among the in
vited guests of the Ancon, the ship
of ceremony, was the president of the
republic of Panama. When the Ancon
started on her historic voyage through
the canal she was greeted with toots
from the whistles of all the ships in
the harbOr.
The Panama National band which
was on board playing the "Star Spang-
led Banner" and other patriotic tunes,
but the music was drowned in the
roar of the whistles. The Ancon was
loaded with the cargo she had brought
from New York, this being left on
board purposely to give the canal the
fullest test.

The seeming slowness of the oppos-

due to the fact that the rival armies

BELGIAN KING IN FIELD

BRUSSELS, Aug. 15.-Belgian SOL
diers have surprised the entire world
by the bravery and endurance they
have shown in fighting the invading
army, but in all the Belgian ranks
there is no more interesting figure
than King Albert, who is taking an
active part in the military operations.
Perhaps the most notable thing
about King Albert is his simplicity
His uniform is usually dusty, mud
stained and wrinkled from hard wear,
and when he travels he does so in a
military automobile, which, from it's
appearance, has seen some mighty
hard usage.
The King has been spending a great
deal of his time at the front and some
of the dispatches say he was on the
firing line in at least one skirmish
with the Uhlans.
King Albert hates display and likes
to move unobtrusively through the
camps. He gives no sign of his exalt-
ed rank, but pretends to be an ordi-
nary army officer The king passed
Thursday night in bivouac among his
soldiers, sleeping on hard cot under
tent. He was at the front during
the hard fighting between the Bel
gians and the Germans nearest Diest
and Haelen.

TUBERCULOSIS; HOW NOT
TO CATCH OR SPREAD 1T.

Pamphlets sent out by the Nation
al Association for the Study and Cure
of tuberculosis, distributed in local
schools, are an effective agent in the
fight, against the dread white plague.
Ignorance is the best breeding place
for disease. Failure to know the
proper manner of life is mainly re-
sponsible for illness. 1t should be
the duty and pleasure of every school
teacher and every parent, to impress
the value of right living upon child
rem. In no division of the instruction
should more pains be taken than in
that of tuberculosis. 1t is the great
est menace to physical being, the
United States confronts and the only
way in which to secure its defeat is
to fortify against it. Cure is harder
than prevention. Kentucky more
than most states in the union has
kcause, found in its vital statistics, to
Tear tuberculosis and work against
Ut. The following points taken from
the instruction sheets of the associa-
ton are of particular value. They
embrace the essential poin's and
they are brief. Digest them and
spread the gospel they contain.
Don't live, study or sleep in rooms
where there is no fresh air. Fresh
air and sunlight kill the tubercle
Wlscilli and germs causing other dis
eases. Therefore, have as much of
both in your room as possible.
Don't live in dusty air. Keep your
rooms clean. Get rid of dust by
cleaning with damp cloths and mops.
Don't sweep with a dry broom
Moisten it.
Keep at least one window open in
your bedroom at night, and air the
room two or three times day.
Don't eat with soiled hands. Wash
them first.
Don't put your hands, pencils or
any candy or chewing gum other
persons have used, in your mouth.
Don't keep soiled handkerchiefs in
your pockets.
Take warm bath with soap at
least once a week.
Don't neglect cold or cough but
go to doctor or a dispensary.

have tuberculosis, you must obey
the following rules if you wish to
get well.
Don't waste your money on patent
medicines or advertised consumption
cures, but go to a doctor or dis
pensary. If you go in time, you can
be cured; if you wait, it may be too
late.
Don't drink whisky or other forms
of liquor.
Don't sleep in the same bed with
any one else and, if possible, not in
the same room.
Good food, fresh air and rest are
the best cures.
Keep out in the fresh air and sun
shine as much as possible.
Keep your windows open winter
and summer, day and night.
II properly wrapped up you will
not catch cold.
Go to sanatorium, if you can,
and e ore it is too late.
A person who has pulmonary tu'
berculosis, or consumption, is not
dangerous to those with whom he
lives and works if he is careful and
clean.
Many grown people and children
have pulmonary tuberculosis, or con-
sumption, without knowledge of it,
and can give it to others. Therefore,
every prison, even if healthy, should
observe the following rul s:
Don't swallow your expectoration,
but spit it out.
Don't spit on the sidewalks, play
grounds, or on the floors or Railways
of your home or school. 1t spreads
disease, and is dangerous, indecent
and against the law.
When you must spit, spit into the
cutters or into a spittoon half filled
with water.
Don't cough or sneeze without
holding handkerchief or your hand
over your mouth or nose.
Before moving into an old house,
thoroughly air, clean, repaper and
repaint it.

The Commission Bill.

The m asure which was agreed up
on by representative citizens of the
third class cities in the conference
at Henderson for a commission gov
eminent of third class cities, pro-
vides few changes in the bill in
troduced in the house by Hon. John
C. Duffy, of Hopkinsville.
One of these changesis a reduction
of the number of commissioners
from five to three, which is a COM
mendable change, because there ma.
turally would be more friction among
five commissioners than among three.
No better administration of the city's
affairs could be had with five than
three, therefore economy would sug-
gest h instead of five. The
measure also provides that mayors
elected for a term of four years are
to be ex-officio members of the board
of commissioners till their terms ex-
pire.
Two commissioners are to be elect
ed in the first election to be held
November, 1915. The one receiving
the highest number of votes is to
serve four years and the other two
years. Commissioners to succeed
the mayor and the short term COM
missioner are to be elected in 1917
for terms of four years and there
after elections are to be held every
two years, two one time and one the
other. This plan of having part
of the board to hold over each time
was proposed by the Greensboro
delegates. All city officers and en-
ployes are to be appointed by the
commission and compensation fixed
by the board. A proviso allows the
police judges and in the present third
class cities the prosecuting attorneys
elected by the people to serve out
their terms extending till 1918, after
which these offices are abolished as
elective offices.
The measure provides that third
class city may submit the proposition
to a vote of the people as to whether
or not the change to commission
government shall be made. AS that
puts the matter squarely up to the
people, there can be no objection to
the passage of the bill, because no
third class city makes the change un-
til majority of its voters declare
for it at the polls. This is ia peoples
government, and they should not be
denied the right to govern them
selves as they may deem for their
own best interests, even though the
interests of the people may conflict
with the interests of the political
machines. -Owensboro Inquirer.
