Tribute to American Diplomats in
 Foreign Capitals.
Testimony Given by Veteran Diplomat Proves That the Conduct of the State Department Is Worthy
 of the Country.

Sir Edward Goschen, lately the Brit lsh ambassador to Germany, closes his final report to Sir Edward Grey with this tribute to an American:
 'I should like also to mention the great assistance rendered to us all by my American colleague, MT. Gerard, and his staff. Undeterred by the hoot- Ing and misses with which he was often greeted by the mob on entering and leaving the embassy, his excellency came repeatedly to see me to ask how he could help US and to make arrange ments for the safety of stranded Brit ish subjects. He extricated many of these from extremely difficult situa- tions at some personal risk to himself, and his lcalmness and savoir- -faire and his firmness in dealing with the inn perial authorities gave full assurance that the protection of British subjects and interests could not have been left in more efficient and able hands,
 The interesting aspect of these sen tences is not so much the evidence of good work done in behalf of British subjects as the professional tribute pxsz by an able English diplomat to an American ambassador "Firmness" is a quality that an untrained diplomat 'tsavoir-faire" are technical Qualif1ca- tons that our representatives abroad have not always possessed.
 The plain truth Is that the American diplomatic and consular service has done extremely well in the arduous and perilous duties which the European war has thrust upon them.
 Mr. Gerard in Berlin met the crisis as Sir Edward Goschen describes MT. Myron T.. Herrick, in Paris, has been tower of strength. b r
 In Belgium MT, Brand Whitlock Is universally credited with the saving of Brussels from bombardment And it Is rather well authenticated that Amer ican consu1s performed the same serv- ice for smaller Belgian towns.
 It must be said that our diplomats, for all their lack of expert training. have way of arising to supreme de mands upon them.
 Old Ben Franklin, the first of the "shirt sleeve" school. showed France, in our revolutionary era, what plain American could do. In the Civil war MT. Charles Francis Adams, as minis ter to St. James, interpreted the real feeling of the English people by hold ing Great Britain's politocracy from recognizing the Confectionery. In the siege of Paris in 1870 Minister Wash burne made name for himself and for his country. ha

FRECKLE-FACE
Now Is the Time to Get Rid of These
Ugly Spots.

Do you know how easy it is to
remove those ugly spots so that no
one will call you freckle-faceq
Simply get an ounce of othine,
double strength, from The Brssttt
Drug Company, and few apphln-
tons should show you how easy it
is to rid yourself Of freckles and
get a beautiful complexion. The
sun and winds Of February and
March have a strong tendency to
bring out freckles, and as a result
more othine ia sold in these months.
Be sure to ask for the double
strength othine, as this is sold under
guarantee Of money back if it fails
to remove the freckles.-Adv. 35

SOME COAL FIGURES

Kentucky's coal industry is great
er than ever before, and it is COM
stantly growing. In recent years it
has been greatly accelerated, es-
pecially in the Eastern coal fields,
There several railroads have been
run into the richest fields and large
quantities Of the "black diamonds"
are being sent to the coast and 9TH
er great markets.
Not many know that some Of the
earliest coal mined in Kentucky
came from the earth in the sec
tons Of country around Greensboro.
The Bon Harbor hills mines and
those in Hancock county and in
Union county were opened very ear
ly. The first recorded output in
Kentucky coal was in 1927 and
that antedated the first output Of
Ohio just ten years. 1t was not
long after this until the first mine
at Hawesville was being operated by
Captain John Lander, with negro
slaves, and the coal was hauled to
barges on the river in oxcarts, and
much the same industry was COM
menced by Captain Triplett with a
tramway from Bon Harbor hills to
the river.
The industry began to grow rap
idly, as the steamboat men began
to learn the superiority of coal over
wood, for the purpose Of producing
steam. AS late, however, as 1910
the industry had reached an output
of only 23,5s7 tons. On until the
war there was gradual growth and
then there was a serious drawback
on account of the belligerancy Of
the States, though the government
gunboats took large quantities Of
the coal for their use. When the
war opened in 1861 the output had
reached 2S5,760 tons, but during
the years Of the war it fell off to
1000 tons and in 1870, five years
after the close Of the war, it was
only 150,582. Since then the
growth of coal mining has been con-
tinuous until at present the output
is something over 100000 tons.-

PRESS COMMENTS
ON SHIP BILL


The Flemingsburg- Times Dem

has been veteran Democrat of the
old school for 10 these many years,
has this to say of Senator johnson
N. Camden's vote on the ship pur-
chase bill and Senator Ollie NJ.
James indignified comment ON his
colleagues stand:
The Times-Democra has always
been an admirer of President Will
son and with slight exception has
agreed with him upon almost every
question, but he is not infallible,
and we think it very questionable
as to the wisdom of the Ship Pur-
chase Bill, the passage Of which is
so urgently desired by him. We
need merchant marine to carry
our products to the markets Of the
world, but we think this an inoppor-
perfume time for the government to

But, however that may be, there
was no justification for the TRADE
Of abuse launched at Senator Cam
den by Senator James. The meas
ure was not in any sense a party
one, since no convention represent
ing the party had ever passed up
on it, and Senator Camden was only

James will find that he has overshot

HERoINEs OF THE WIRE


L;ege, from which the Germans
were bombarding the city, sat at a
private telephone, overlooked ac-
cidentally by the besiegers when all
other telephones we're destroyed,
tand after each return shot from the
fortress, looked calmly to see
where it fell, and telephoned to cor
rect the range: "a little more to the
right" "Too far to the left" "Not
so high" Puzzled at first by the
accuracy of the Belgian gunners,
the Germans at length became sus-
picious and investigated. The girl
was discovered, arrested, tried, and
according to the hard rules of war,
shot. The German officer who told
the story, and who approved the
sentence, expressed the highest adj
miration not only for her daring as
a spy, but for the unhinching cour-
age with which she met her fate.

Piles. Typical of many similar
cases is that Of Julia Devine and
Lorraine Davis When the Title
Guaranty Building of st. Louis,
twelve stories high, and full Of peo-
pie, caught fire, the two girl opera
tors began to send warning of the
danger to every office in the build
ing. They both kept at work after
the smoke poured chokingly into
their room, and until every person
had been warned. They were car
ried out by firemen just in time, to
be greeted by the cheers Of the hun
dreds of escaped tenants, who had
mingled with the surging crowd on
the street.

calling up the farmers and bust
ness men Of the surrounding dis
tricts. She sent the alarm broad
cast; fairly shouting for help, while
the fire crept closer and closer, and
the building in whcih she was at
work caught, and began to tremble
and totter. Only when the wires
were useless did she think Of es-

fire and smoke, and fell unconscious

The Belgian relief fund has passed the $100OOO mark and is still
growing states the New York World. This great popular outpouring
OF charity to a people reduced to starvation by the war includes over
100000 contributions, ranging from $4,000 to cent. Large as is this
cash fund, it represents only a part of the relief supplies forwarded Ito
Belgium. In addition, food has been sent by shiploads, and back OF

For many months the people of this country have been giving freely

Red Cross and other organizations for special purposes have raised
hundreds upon hundreds of thousands of dollars. The Belgium relief
fund has exceeded the others only because Belgian distress a a whole

AN EMPHATIC REMINDER

Banker Henry Clews, whose financial statements have considerable
weigh, says: The most emphatic reminder that the stock market has
successfully faced the "a crisis was the abolition of minimum prices by
the stock exchange. This is a most encouraging declaration of financial
independence, which cannot but have a wholesome influence throughout
the whole financial world. 1t lean that we m longer have fear of for
egn dumping and that this market has shown its capacity to meet all
legitimate demands.
Speculation m the exchange has broadened considerably and shown
widening activity, the transactions in stocks and bonds during March
investment buying, and the whole market shows a healthy tone in spite
of the excessive and somewhat sensational advance in certain specialues.
Such features must be expected while the war lasts, especially in secur-
tiles which benefit from al contracts This phase of speculation may
however, be easily carried to the danger point That ought to put a
quietus on the foreign dumping scare which has been the subject of so
much comment during the last several months.
