The new POPE
HoNoRS GO TO cHIESA-ITALiAN
CARDINAL is RAISED TO
PAPAL DAlS.
His Coronation AS Benedict XIV Will
Take Place September 5th-Ses-
sion Lasted Three Days

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Rorne-The Sacred College of Car
dinals elected Cardinal Giacomo Della
Chiesa, Archbishop of Bologna, SUI
preme Pontiff to succeed the late Pope
Plus x. His coronation as Benedict
XIV. will take place September ). I'm
mediately after his election the Pom
tiff said he could not imagine how his
frall being was capable of enduring
the enormous weight of responsibility
thrown upon his shoulders, especially
at moment when almost all the coun-
tries of Europe were stained with
blood; when the wounds inflicted upon
humanity also were inflicted on the
church, and when countless victims OF
the war were being cut down.
The war, he said, had armed faith
ful against faithful, priests against
priests, while the Bishops of each
country offered prayers fer the sue
cess of the army of his own nation
But victory for one side meant
slaughter to the other, the destruc-
ton of children equally dear to Lhe
heart of the Pontiff
The conclave of the Sacred College
had been in session since August 81
When the name of Cardinal Della
Chiesa was cried out by the Cardinal
ScrutineerS as having received tine
prescribed two-thirds vote there vas
much excitement among the members
of the conclave.
Then followed the traditional form
ula, the Cardinal being asked as TO
whether he accepted the election
Amid GREATNESS silence he answered
in the affirmative, but his reply. owing
to profound emotion, was scarcely
audible. Immediately all the Card
nails removed the canopies from above
their chairs, this being the tangible
sign that the leadership of the cEurch
had passed from them to the newly
elected Pope.

LARGEST In History.

With 457 appearance cases filed the
docket for the September term of the
court of appeals closed. The docket is
the largest since the appellate court
began to have three terms, and is one
OF the largest in its history. 1t con-
tains many important cases, among
them being the Imperial Tobacco Co.
of Kentucky against the Common
wealth, from Lyon county. This case
is one in which the statute against
monopolies has been invoked The
case of the Adams Express Co.
against the Commonwealth, in which
the statute prohibiting the shipment of
Intoxicating liquors into local option
territory is alleged to have been vio-
lated, will be the first test of the
Webb-kenyon bill il Kentucky
court. 1t is appealed from Laurel
county. The case of l.. B. Marshall
against w. c. Herndon, Police Judge,
from Franklin county, is to determine
whether or not moving picture shows
can run in. this state Sundays. The
court does not convene until the 21st
of September. There will be no
changes in the personnel of the court
until after January 1st.

Government Seat Moved.

Paris.-The president and members
of the government and all embassies
of the allied nations left for Bordeaux,
where they will remain during hostili-
ties. Ambassador Herrick, who has
taken charge of the archives and en-
bassies of all the belligerent powers,
will remain in Paris with First Sec
rotary Bliss and the second secretary
The United States will be represent
ed in Bordeaux by John w Garrett.
United States ambassador Ito Argen-
tina, who left with the government,
accompanied by Third Secretary Sulze-
ton.
Ambassador Herrick, remaining here
will be enabled to afford great protec-
ton to Americans, as the ambassa-
dorial residence is neutral territory
where Americans may find refuge in
case of need. His presence here will
also make it possible for the American
banking interests to continue operat-
ing with view to relieving possible
distress of Americans The United
States official bankers will remain
open in Paris, while a special repre-
sentative with large funds in cash has
been dispatched to Bordeaux. I'm the
north there are no signs of hostile
troops at Arras, Lilles Bethune. Douai
and Lens" according to an official an
nouncement made. Parts of several
German army corps in Belgium" the
statement continues, ARE moving east
ward into Germany
The official adds: In Lorraine our
advance continues on the right bank
of the Sanon. In the south the situa-
ton is unchanged. In Upper Alsace
the. Germans appear to have left. Be-
fore Belfort there is only 2 thin cur
tain of troops"

advancing Germans. The forts around
the city are manned and picked troops
and intrenchments were thrown up be-
tween the forts. 1t was officially de-
creed that the city was considered in
state of siege. The outer ring of
forts surrounding Paris, of which ST.
Cyr is the principal one, is 10 miles
from the city.
A report regarding Turkey is most
significant. If that nation has declared
war against the allies, or should do
it, it would mean holy war that
would give both England and France
considerable trouble. The Sultan of
Turkey is looked upon by the Moslem
world as its head. Egypt, which now
is British protectorate, is peopled al
most wholly by Moslems, who believe
that England broke a solemn promise
when she failed to relax her grip on
Egypt. These Moslems would be al
most certain to rise UP and aid Turkey
against England.
France, too, has Moslems to deal
with in Algiers. They would also be
likely to join Turkey in the event of
war. Such a contingency would force
both England and France to send large
armies into Africa, which would be a
great risk to both in view of the way
the allies are being pressed on the
continent by Germany. Should Tur-
key get into the war against the allies
it would be a master stroke on the
part of the Kaiser. Turkeys partici-
patton in the war, on the other hand,
would be almost certain to draw Italy
into the fighting on the side of the
allies, as the Italian government has
been reported as saying that it would
declare war on Austria and Germany
if any other power declared against
England, France and RUSSIA.

Plan For Picturea.

Industrial, agricultural and civic
scenes in Kentucky are to be shown
in motion pictures at the Panama
Pacific Exposition The Kentucky
commission has closed a contract with
the Essenay Film Manufacturing Co.
for not less than $4,000 feet of films
exploiting scenes in Kentucky. Harry
Myers, of Covington, treasurer of the
commission, will at once take the mat
ter up with Kentucky merchants,
manufacturers, farmers and others
who wish to have their industries eX-
plotted. Industries having material
for interesting films have been asked
by the commission to write at once
to Startling l.. Marshall, secretary of
the Panama-Pacific Exposition Com
mission, 703 Inter-Southern building,
Louisville
Resolutions were passed calling
upon citizens of Kentucky to give ev-
cry aid possible in this plan of adver-
Using the state and its resources. In
the same resolution the commission
calls attention to the fact that the ex-
position will offer unusual opportuni-
ties for personal contact with great
distributors and consumers of South
America and Central America.

Anti.sufraaists, Energies.

Washington.-The machinery of the
anti-suffrage organization has been or
dered to the support of the American
Red Cross work in Europe. Sewing
machines are being installed in place
of typewriters, and volunteers will pre-
pare bandages, garments and other
acquisitions for the victims of war
under the direction of the Red Cross.
Mrs. Arthur M. Dodge, president of the
National Association Opposed to Won
an Suffrage, recently issued general
appeal to every state association re-
questing it to use the full strength of
its organization in an appeal for the
Red Cross.

Urged to Plant Wheat.

Farmers in Kentucky are again
urged to increase as far as possible
their winter wheat production owing
to the great demand and high prices
caused by the European War. Atten-
ton is called to the high prices of
wheat and other grains, which might
obtain for a long while. 1t is suggest
ed that farmers arrange to plant a
much greater proportion of their lands
in winter wheat this year, autumn be-
ing the time for sowing. 1t is the be-
lief that wheat and other grains for a
long time will be the great money-pro-
ducing crops.

tspeciar Frankfort Correspondence


Frankfort.-At a meeting of the
state railroad commission held here
the docket was cleared of the cases
which had been pending before the
commission for settlement. The case
of B. j. Gillespie against the Louis
vile & Nashville railroad complaining
of the rate on rock screening from
Dudley to Berry was settled.
w. T. Sistrunk & Co., of Lexington,
complained that the Louisville & Nash
vile Railroad Co. made a cheaper rate
from Louisville to Barbourville and
points south of Corbin than it did from
Lexington. The case was adjusted by
fixing the same rates from Lexington
and Louisville to the above points.
Permission to abandon the station
at Marble Creek, in Jessamine county,
was granted the Louisville & Atlantic
railroad The commission will meet
in Louisville October to hear the
complaint of the Eminence Milling Co.
against the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad Co. The milling company al
leges that the railroad company hauls
grain from Louisville to distillers
cheaper than it does to mills.
The commission adjusted the rate
from Lexington to Falmouth on lum-
Der, which was complained of by the
Kentucky Lumber Co. against the
Louisville & Nashville Railroad Co.
In the case of citizens of Shelbyville
against the Louisville & Nashville
Railroad Co. the commission held that
it had no statutory grounds to regu-
late train schedules

will Return Contracts.

The Hoge-Montgomery Co, prison
contractors, who declined to bid on
the labor of $50 ecnvicts in the re-
formatory, their contract for which
will expire in January, notified the
prison commission that they will ex-
ercise their option to renew the con-
tract for four years for the labor of
400 other convicts. The company con-
tinues silent as to its plan, but the fact
that it will renew its contracts for the
labor the convicts indicates that its
officers have not decided to withdraw
from the prison.

WAR IN BRIEF

AS the lines around Paris tighten
and the GermaR forces draw closer to
the French capital the official state
ments regarding the progress of the
war grow briefer and are more and
more lacking in details.
So far as the public is concerned,
little is actually known as to how the
armies in the field are faring. Most
of the information made public from
official quarters is of negative char
acter, as, for instance, the announce
ment of the French war Office that
there has been no contact with the
German forces in the region of Com
pfegne and Senlis for several days,
and that the situation in the northeast
has not changed.
These two towns are respectively

the threatened investment of the cap

French authorities have ordered aero
plane patrols to guard against any fur
ther raids by German aviators. A
number of French aeroplanes are con,
tinually flying in the neighborhood OF
Paris, and others are kept in readi-
ness, with guns, to attack any of the
Germans who appear in the sky.

Why cannot weeds be used as cover

London.-With Paris in state of
siege and the French capital formally
moved to Borderaux the fierce battle
between the Germans and the allies
continued with undated vigor, the
German right being within a few
miles of the forts of Paris. Amiens,
about rs miles to the north of Paris,
has been occupied by the Germans
after fierce fighting, according to dis
patch from that city. This probably
means that Paris is entirely cut off
from Boulogne.
Fighting continued in East Prussia
and Austrian Galicia between the Rus
SLAMS, Germans and Austrians, while
another battle was reported between
the Austrians and the Servians. In all
engagements the Austrians were re-
ported to have lost 100000 men killed,
wounded and prisoners.
Little information is obtainable
either in London or Paris of the fight
ing in the North. 1t was said that the
French left had been pushed back, but
that the allies center had held their
ground in the face of terrific on
slaughts, and that their line was I'M
broken at any point. The French left
extended from Montdidier through
Roye to Noyon. The most dramatic
event was the removal of the French
seat of government to Bordeaux for the
second time in history. In 1871 the
capital was moved to Tours when the
Prussians besieged Paris, and later
was moved to Bordeaux. Two special
trains took President Poincare, the
members of the Cabinet and the mem
bers of the Senate and the Chamber of
Deputies to the temporary capital.
