proclamation declaring war on Aus

consultation, the Ministers of War and
Marine proclaimed all the provinces
bordering on Austria and the islands

the establishment of martial law, the
step usually preceding the formal

Of the Week


Mr.. Herndon says that the fight
of the year took place at Chatta-
nooga, without any mistake. II was
an exciting time-a brass band time,
sure enough.
The men favOring the Eastern
Kentucky route seemed at first TO
be outclassed. An atmosphere of
gloom lowered about them. Louis
willie and Nashville sent a small
army and at the start our boosters
were out-numbered.
ITS all over but the shouting"
asserted a claimant rooter for the
Western Route.
But the noon train brought an
army from Cincinnati with a noisy
brass band, banners and badges
three hundred strong they stormed
the auditorium with a host Of re-
tanners from Ohio. Then the gloom
gave place TO the zest of battle and
the fight was on.
The commissioners who were to
decide held court and gave each
state a limited time in which to
present its claims. To Kentucky
two hours were given. divided be-
tween the advocates Of Western
and an Eastern route.
When il was made TO appear that
Ohio ranked third in number Of
