Sept 25. For four days, up to the time l write this dispatch. Philip Gibbs cables to the New York Times, when the fire is slackeuing on both sides there has been an incessant ar tiilery duel under covel O. v,ich both sides are entrenching themselves like armies of ants and rushing over open ground with rifle fire and bayonet charges in order Co attain advanced positions for further entrenchments. lt is in this battle of trenches that we have shown our superiority and gained good ground though at somewhat heavy cost
 With the experience of the Eoer war behind them, our troops are far better than the German in taking ad- vantage of every scrap of cover and fighting in open formation As @ result of this we have been able to capture positions which seemed se- cure to the Germans and with dogged persistence and fine pluck our men on several occasions during the last fortyeisht hours have taken posses sion of trenches which. according to

PEOPLE OF BRUSSELS
NOW FACE STARVATION

London, Oct. 3.-Seven hundred
thousand persons in Brussels are
facing starvation, according TO Hugh
Gibson, the secretary of the Ameri-
can embassy there. who is now in
this city. The supply of -four in the
Belgian capital will be exhausted to-
day, and other staples are virtually
all consumed. The last apportion-
ment of -four to the citizens of Brus-
sells will be given out this afternoon.
Efforts to get food in from Ant
werp have failed. lnasmuch as
Brussels is in charge of the Ger
mans, it is in effect German terrific
ry. Neutral nations could not un-
dertake to supply food to Brussels,
even if transportation facilities were
not practically cut off because OF
military operations. ..~AA

A SUSPICIOUS oDOR
~ FRANKFORT TOWN

The indictment OF Secretary OF
State creoelius by the grand jury at
Frankfort reveals. apparently. a
scandalous state OF affairs in one OF
the highest State Offices. A special
term OF court has been called for
October 10 to try Crecelius. Judg-
men, in the matter may well be sus-
pended until that time. II seems
most extraordinary that the grand
jury investigating Iooseness in the
management OF the Secretary of
States Office. should admit it could
not discover who Incorporated
more than 81 600 Of the automobile
license fund. Of which T. :. Byars
was accused. Byars made good the
shortage and then secured an in
junction preventing the sinking fund

his accounts. II would appear that
some petty politics is being played
in the courts at Frankfort. which is

At PRESENT TEMPORARY
RULER OF THE UNIVERSE

Woodrow Wilson stands to-day as
the only man on earth exercising
power outside of his own country.
in more than a 'igurative sense he is
the temporary ruler of the world. All
hope of the restoration of peace.
sooner or later. must rest with him.
Meanwhile. the preservation of
neutrality by America, the eoncilia-
ton of Mexico. the suecor of all the
uations OF the earth devolve upon
this country. This prestige must be
maintained and this power exercised
by the Chief Magistrate.
We believ that Woodrow Wilson
is equal to the emergency. but his
burdens are heavy and his personal
and public trials grievous TO be
borne. He needs help. He needs
the help which every loyal heart in
America can render him to a great
er or lesser degree.
Call the expression of this help
prayers, or good wishes, or sympa-
thy, or what you will, it is a vital
force.
No true American in youth or age
ought to withhold this aid to the
President.-[The Santa Cruz Surf.

STATES OBJECTION To
STATEWIDE PROHIBITION

Mr.. n. A. Sopmers. editor OF the
ElizabethtOwn News and one OF the
strongest temperance men in the
State, has the following to say, edi-
torially. about the proposition OF
Statewide prohibition:
The Anti-Saloon League in Ken
lucky. which has been content with
uniform county unit law. will now
unquestionably lead a movement for
Statewide prohibition.
The News has gone with the Anti
Saloon league 50 far. but it does
not propose 70 go with it in fight
for Statewide prohibition. We be-
lieye that every, county should have
a right 10 vote on the saloon ques-
ton because it is a unit of local self
government.
The same force which votes
county dry can elect the county Of
ficers 10 enforce the law. The mat
ter assumes an entirely different as
pect when il comes TO the entire
State as a unit The counties which
20 wet" would not elect officers
who would be in sympathy with the
enforcement Of a prohibition law.
Laws against the sale of liquor,
more than any other kind of laws,
must have public sentiment back OF
them for their reasonable enforce
ment Without such sentiment the
law is farce and positive injury TO
the cause Of temperance instead Of
benefit Hardin county should have
no more right to vote Jefferson dry
than Jefferson should have to vote
Hardin wet. IT is poor rule which
does not work both ways.
Let every county govern its own
affairs. II it wants to 90 dry or wet
that is its business.
The Democratic party has given
10 each county in the State the right
to vote on the saloon question. This
is strictly Democratic and in ac-
cordsnce with our constitution but
step beyond that is undemocratic. as
We see it and would split the party
wide open, as ii has done in Ten
nessee.
Yet such a fight seems inevitable
in Kentucky. and We look for il to
come next year in the nomination
and election of State ticket and a
Legislature.
The News indicated very clearly
before the State primary that it was
against Statewide, and II warns the
Democratic party to fight clear of it.
The party has done enough for the
temperance people. They ought to
be satisfied with vote in every
county. II is all the temperance
legislation the State needs. it is all
that is of any practical value and.
therefore, all It ought 10 have.

FALL OF CITY OF NAMUH
DUE TO GERMAN SPIES

London. October 1.-The fall of
the Belgian city of Namur was due
largely to the work of German spies.
according to Times correspondent
in Belgium.
"One of the principal features of
Namur's defenses was the River
Meuse," says the correspondent in
analying the fall of the city. The
Germans, assisted by spies, managed
to open the tide gates of the Mouse,
thus lowering its waters, which were
extremely deep. They We're then
able to cross the river.
When the Namur commander
saw that resistance was impossible
without re-enforcements he tried to
rally all the forces from the outlying
forts TO the main points of defense,
but owing to the work of spies he
found his underground telephone
system destroyed. He was thus un-
able TO direct his campaign or TO
summon re-enforeements.
las the result of the gripping of
the telephone lines each regiment
was compelled to fight its way out
of Namur separately with heavy
losses. II the garrison had remain
ed 2 hours longer not a man or gun
would have been able to join the
allies. AS a matter of fact only H.
