L. & N. May Change Its Course

In conversation with a gentleman
who has been in the employ of the L.
& N. for over thirty years Sunday,
we were informed that it is not i'm
probable that that company would
change the course of the Knoxville
division. He said that by building a
short line from Springfield to connect
with the road somewhere south of
Lebanon, the company could save be-
tween fifteen and twenty miles be-
tween Louisville and this city. The l..
& N. has made many improvement on
the Bardstown and Springfield divis-
ion, bridges strong enough to run the
heaviest engines over have taken the
place of the old ones and grades have
been cut down in several places. Said
he: 81 have believed for several years
that the Knoxville trains would event
ually run that way and by the work
recently done on the Bardstown
branch, | am more confident than
ever that the line connecting that
branch with the X. d. will be built
very soon and that trains running be-
tween Louisville and Knoxville will
run bv Bardstown and Springfield
rather than by Lebanon Junction and
Louisville"

NO TRUTH IN REPORT
That He Will Withdraw, Says Keenon
-Danville Court Day Dope"

A small crowd attended court al
Danville Monday and things generally
we're dull save in the political line
No cattle were offered at the pens
and very few private deals were
made. There was some activity in the
horse and mule market and several
changed hands at $3.50 to $165. Buy.
ers for war horses were present and
the demand far exceeded the sup
ply. The cold, dry weather caused
the farmers to feel blue over their
crop prospects and they were not in
high feather. Considerable damage
to corn and other crops by cut worms
we're reported from several sections
The candidates for circuit judge
and commonwealth attorney were
all on hand and did lots Of hand-shak-
ing and log-roling. The two Charles
Fox and Hardin--cre well pleased
with the days work and each told the
|. j. man that he would win the NOM
nation. Lincoln county's candidate
for commonwealth attorney, J. S.
Owsley, who by the way, is spending
the balance of the week in Mercer,
was more than satisfied with the day.
He had many assurances of support,
some coming from sources which were
agreeably surprising to him. Emmett
Puryear, Boyle's entry, was on the
job all day and reported excellent
success. Rodman Keenon, from Mer-
Ger. denounces as fabrication, pure
and serene, that he has any idea of
withdrawing from the Common
wealth's Attorneys race and running
for clerk of the Cour- of Appeals. He
is in the race to stay and he talks as
if he is confident that his name will
go on the ballot this fall.
There was no candidate for State
Offices on hand. but Bob Elkin, of
the Lancaster Record, was distrib-
uting bills announcing Owsley Stan
ley's speaking at Lancaster Monday
and doing some big" talking for
his candidate.
Very few Lincoln county people
were at court and fewer from the
West End than in years. Mercer had
a big representation. but it seems
that they just happened" to come
and did not do so for any particular
purpose or because of any organized
effort.
4 ne w tlSn q w lStfildn 10. ; Dullu-

the foundation for their magnificent
four or five story business building

Owen Mcintyre, who is getting up
stock and donations to build a hotel
for Danville. reports fine success. 1t
is understood that $4,000 in donG-
tons is required and Mr. Mcintyre
has more than two-thirds of the
amount pledged. 1t is stated that
Malcolm Weisiger, owner of the old
Clemens Hotel, will improve that
building and make a modern hotel of
it, giving Little Britain" two good
hotels instead of none.

Four of the prisoners, including
Moore, made their escape, bIt the lat

GREATER DAYS FOR
 THE UNITED STATES
CHIEF EXECUTIVE AVOIDS ANY REFERENCE TO PRESENT
 DAY PROBLEM.

Washington. = Eulogies of Ameri- ca's soldier and sailor dead were voiced here by President Wilson, Sac retary Bryan, Secretary Daniels and Governor Willis of Ohio at Memorial Day exercises at Arlington National Cemetery. Large crowds seized OH every opportunity to show that the present international situation was up- permost in their minds
 President Wilson, cheered on his arrival and departure and during his address, carefully avoided any direct reference to problems facing the United States. He was enthusiastic ally applauded when he declared that greater days lay before this nation than it ever before has seen, and the solemn consciousness of those who bear office in this time is that they must make their endeavor to embody in what they do and say the best things in the United States.
 Governor Willis evoked applause when he said "The president of the United States is making a successful effort to keep us out of the broils of Europe" and added, "now is the time to keep cool think carefully and stand by the president. He and his cabinet know vastly more of our delicate rela- tions with European belligerents than the rest of Us can possibly know; let us hold up his hands in the patriotic effort he is making in this crisis
 The president sat in the midst of veterans of two wars during the ex- ercises and uttered an audible Amen at the conclusion of an invocation by Bishop Earl Cranston of Washington, whe prayed that the United States might be led alright in the present crisis.

SAYS MEXICAN WAR
 MUST BE STOPPED
PRESIDENT WILSON HAS SERVED NOTICE ON FRACTIONAL LEAD
 FRS OF MEXICO.
PATIENCE IS EXHAUSTED
What Steps Will Be Taken If the Warning Goes unheeded Is Not
 Disclosed in the Statement.

Washington,- a statement to the American people President Wilson served notice on the factional leaders of Mexico that unless within "a very short time" they unite to set up q government which the world can rec ognize, the United States will be con- strained to decide what means should be employed by the United States in order to help Mexico save herself and serve her people,"
 Signalizing change from the "watchful waiting" policy which has guided relations with Mexico for mora than two years, the presidents state. ment was regarded everywhere in of- ficial and diplomatic quarters as the notice of a new and vigorous policy to restore peace below the Rio Grande.
 Everywhere, it was interpreted as a warning that the patience of the Unit ed States is exhausted
 What steps the president is pre- pared to take if his warning goes un- needed is not disclosed n the state.
  ment. In high official quarters, never theless, no doubt existed that he is prepared to proceed.
 White House officials refused to am plify the presidents statement, say ing that any further steps in his new policy would be announced as they were decided on.
 The president conferred with Miss Mabel T. Boardman of the Red Cross on relief for the famine sufferers.
 Secretary Bryan announced receipt of a dispatch from the Mexican Red Cross emphasizing the great need in Mexico City. Another appeal to local Red Cross committees throughout the country will be issued soon to ex- pedite gathering of supplies at the border.
