NOTE ON FRYE CASE TO
BERLIN IN "a HOURS
State Department Prepares Reply and
sends il TO President for
Approval.

WASHINGTON, oct S.-With in

a settlement of the Lusitania case, this
governments reply to the German
note regarding the sinking Of the VIII
liam p Frye by the Prinz Eitel Fried
erich will go forward TO Berlin within
pa hours.
The reply of the United States was
sent TO the president by the state de-
partment Thursday.
Officials OF the department say the
two governments are now in accord
ance on matters heretofore in dispute.
regarding the Frye case and its set
tlement fOreshadows almost inevita-
bly, an agreement in the case of the
Lusitania. They say that the state
meuts OF position by Germany in the
Arabic note was covered definitely
and favorably an answer to the Amer
lean demand as TO the William L.
FRYE and that by the strongest de-
gree of inference, the Arabic note also
showed the way for a similar settle
ment of the Lusitania controversy.
Until the receipt Of Ambassador
Bernstorff's note on the Arabic. the
United States has been demanding as
"A necessary condition for arbitration
of the William p Frye that Germany
would commit no similar act pending
arbitration. High state department
officials declare today that Ambassa-
dor Won Bernstorffs statement of pol
icy "for the future" is substantially a
statement that Germany viii not sink
or otherwise destroy an American
vessel which a submarine commander
cannot take into port as a prize. Here
tofore Germany has cOntended that

and 1928. taken IN connection with the
declaration OF London, she has a right
TO destroy 4 vessel which she could

KNOW THY COUNTRY
II-Railroads

In discussing the commercial
achievements of this great age, we
shall approach the subject as the
historian chronicling events. This Sc
ries will endeavor to record in writ
ing the supremacy of American men
and industries in the worlds affairs
and perptuate an appreciation of our
marvellous industrial achievements by
presenting simple facts, figures and
comparisons that are overpowering in
their convictions.
America holds her proud place
among the nations of the earth today
on account Of her supremacy in trans
portation facilities. The mighty minds
Of the age are engaged in the prob
lens of transportation, and the great
est men in the history of the worlds
commerce are at the head of the
transportation systems of the United
States.
In the discussion of transportation,
let us consider separately our Rail-
ways, Telegraph and Telephones, Elk
press, Public Highways, Steamships,
Street Railways, Interurban and other
forms of transportation, and this ar
ticle will deal with railways.
The United States has the largest
mileage, the best service, the cheap
est rates, pays labor the highest
wages, and we have the most efficient
ly managed of the railways of the
world. They stand as a monument to
the native genius of our marvellous
builders, and most of the railroads in
foreign countries have been built
under American orders.
The railroads represent a larger in
yestment of capital than any other
branch of human activity. The mile
age in the United States exceeds

the accepted distance from the earth
to the moon. We had in 1911, the
last year in which figures for all
countries are available, on the
earths surface, 639,9S1 miles of rail-
way divided as follows: United States
241,199. Europe 207.432 and other
countries 191,350. The United States
has 3S per cent of the worlds mileage,
seven per cent of the estimated pop
ulation and about five per cent of the
area. The total capital invested in the
railways Of the world is 100000
600, divided as follows; United States
13,000,0O0,O00 Europe $3.50, 900, 900
and other countries S11, 100000, 900.
Reduced to mileage basis the cap
italization is as follows: The world
$4,000, United States $4,000, Europe
$l24000, and other countries $4,000.
A comparison of rates is equally as
interesting and the United States
takes the lead in economy and serv-
ice. The average rate per ton per
hundred mile haul is as follows
united States 76c, Great Britain $3.50,
France S1.44, Germany $1.44, Russia
92c, Austria-Hungary $13O, Italy $3.50
and Switzerland $3.50.
The average yearly pay of all rail
road employees in the principal coun-
tries is as follows: United States
$751;, Germany 1892, Italy $345, Aus
tria 1922. Great Britain 1919, France
$3.50 and Russia 1904.
About so per cent. or $4,000 miles,

REPUBLICS ARTICLE
SOMEWHAT MISLEADING

The article published in the
st. Louis Republic Sunday morn
ing, relative to the death of Mr..
F. P. Graves, is slightly mislead-
ing.
F. P. Graves and John Holmes,
the father of Mr.. Robert Holmes,
were among the largest stock
holders of the Doe Run Lead
Co., and were very close friends
approximately twenty-five years.
Their interest was of common
stock and their efforts were al
ways directed to promote a COM
mon interest.
Mr.. Graves was quick to real
ize the splendid business judg-
ment of his associate, Mr.. John
Holmes, and he being loyal to
the common welfare of his COM
pany, was willing to tender his
resignation in favor Of his
friend, that the interest of the
company might be better con-
served. In recent years, Mr..
Robert Holmes, son of John
Holmes, became a large stock
holder in the Doe Run Lead Co.
His keen and discretional COM
mercial judgment appealed to
Mr.. Graves. His plans for the
recuperation of the mining in
dustry of this section were laid
before Mr.. Graves, and after
due consideration and investiga-
ton Mr.. Graves appealed to the
company to acceed to the wishes
of Mr.. Robert Holmes.
For the last few years these
gentlemen were eminent friends.

AN MORAL OUTLOOK
IN KENTUCKY

In fulfillment Of the promise in a
former communication to give the re-
suit of the primary election of Aug
ust 7th, the chief issue of which was
State Wide Prohibition, am sorry to
say that Hon, II. V. McChesncy, can
didate for the nomination for Cover
nor, was defeated by about 10000
majority. Of course this does not
interfere with the enforcement of the
local option we have already in 106
out of 100 counties. However, it may
give State Wide Prohibition a set
back of several years, but it cannot
effectually stay the tide of sentiment
growing in favor of National Prohi-
bition.
The Democratic party is in the
ascendency in this state and a nomi-
nation for an Office is equivalent to
election.
The liquor men care but little who
is elected, so they can control them.
So the Republicans have taken their
stand as unalterably opposed to pro-
hibition, and hope to be elected on
that platform; but the Democratic
press has proven its loyalty to the
whiskey interests through the "splen-
did" GU work done by five out of
six of the daily papers of Louisville,
besides the valuable(?) help of two
thirds of the county papers.
Everybody of any thought realizes
the power of the press to mould the
thought and sentiment of a commun-
ity hence the great moral RESPONSE
bility resting on an editor.

tute is in session now in Elizabeth

teacher would do his or her duty in

Wild Bee Tree Gives
Up Treasure

Last Saturday evening group
of neighbors of Route A decided
that the treasury which had
been located several days prior
should no longer remain at
large.
The company composed the
following: Duff Yount, Apiarist
and Captain, Geo. Heager, Ed
Huber, Lawrence, Hubert and
Clinton Cunningham, yes and by
the way, Times reporter, as
sistants, with the necessary i'm
Elements of war, left for the
scene about 8 p. m. The band,
headed by Yount, was surpris-
ed at the almost impossible jun
gle that had to be penetrated.
The horse weeds seemed to be
as large as saplings and as thick
as grass. At last we arrived
at the bee tree. There stood the
mighty elm some five feet in di-
ameter, which of course, COM
prised the first line of fortifica-
ton guarding the treasury. The
wisdom of the bee was again
forcibly demonstrated, and UNI
doubtedly some Of the party re-
called to memory a particular
incident in Soloman's time touch
ing on the wisdom of the bee.
Mr.. Yount embraced the ak in
his mighty sinews and in a
short time a large gap had been
made on one side of the majes-
tic elm. Hubert Cunningham
had been stationed with Ian
tern directly in front and to the
right of Mr.. Yount. The other
boys were ordered to travel by
foot to the far side of the "Cal-
ifornia" tree and start the saw.
Duff, being anxious to reach the
goal, continued chopping. Sud-
denly the hollow was penetrat-
ed and with a terrific noise hun
dreds and perhaps thousands of
gallons of water came gushing
forth. Fortunately Hubert
narrowly escaped the onward
rush of water, and in the excite
ment, Mr.. Yount called to his
ten-year old boy to climb horse
weed. After the jingle of the
saw and the reverberation of
the ak for more than an hour,
the growth of century with its
precious treasure, came crashing
to the earth. This caused in
dignation to spread in the little
