, in every war. Their task is not hard
in combat between only two par
ties. as in the American civil war and
| in the Franco Prussian and the Rus
| so-Japanese wars. In such instances
the comhatants are surrounded by
vigilant noncombatants. Jealous to de-
fend the rights of neutrality and in
sist upon a close observance of the
rules of the game. At the outbreak
of the Japanese war. Russia showed a
much latitude as England now claims
in interfering with ocean commerce
But England was no less prompt than
| the United States to call a halt, and
Russia was obliged to draw in her
pretensions.
In a world war like this. on the
other hand. or like the NapoleonIc
struggle, the few nations that re-
main neutral find it most difficult to
| impose proper restraints upon the bel
ligerents. AS the chief umpire. the
United States finds itself in a posi-
ton of grave and perplexing respon-
sibility.
The Don'ts OF wnr.
The fundamental principles of in
ternational law are as simple as the
Ten Commandments. But the code of
warfare as whole is a most elabor-
ate development. with distinctions so
fine as to be fantastic.
If Gen. Sherman never said that
war is hell" he did say to the
mayor of Atlanta that war is cruelty
and you cannot refine it" But men
ever have tried to refine it in the spirit
of Sir Lucius O'Trigger. who held in
duelling that you should kill your
man decently and like a Christian"
This persistent effort to sugarcoat the
bullet runs parallel to the restless
quest for some nice and proper way
of infiicting capital punishment on
the condemned criminal
For instance, there has long been a
most earnest purpose to shoot the en-
envy with the most agreeable bullet on
the market. The soldier is supposed.
of course. to shoot to kill: but he must
infict the smallest possible wound in
order that. il his aim misses the vital
spot. there shalrbe no lingering death,
no Gripping. and his foeman may
speedily return to the firing line.
Washington apologized to Gen. Howe
because some of the Americans had
fired nails at the British. a practice
which he abhorred as wicked and in
famous.
In this. as in other recent wars
the cry has risen that dunn -dums
were used. Now, dunn -dums take their
name from an arsenal in Calcutta
where the British made them only to
be shot at East Indians. Having a
soft nose they fatten' when they
strike a bone and widen the area Of
injury beyond the proper limits.
For the same reason. explosive bull
let's are under the ban. and the law
specifically says that no projectile
weighing less than thirteen ounces
shall be charged with explosive or in
fammable material. But there is no
limit. Of course. on larger missiles. A
single shrapnel tube. for instance,
may scatter when it bursts as many
as 1900 fragments, INJECTING infected
wounds of the worst type.
While 1t il permissible to rain that
leaden torrent upon the foe. no pro-
jectile that discharges asphyxiating
gases is permitted. and the allies have
arraigned the Germans for violating
rule which the powers have twice
affirmed at The Hague. Gen. Horace

Killing or Curing.

Hundreds of thousands of cattle and
swine have been destroyed, not by, but
because Of the foot and mouth disease.
When you ask if there is no cure for
the malady, you are told that if the ami
: N al Iecovers it will never be of value, a
mera wreck of its former self and will
never breed again. When the last out
! break occurred at the time of the Ma
tional Dairy Show in Chicago certain
men, among them Mr. F. l.. Ames, of
Massachusetts, who had fine herds at
the exhibit, refused, if we understand
1t. 10 have their valuable animals de-
stroyed, and insisted. in spite of the
attempting TO save them. Mr.. Ames
writes the Breeders Gazette, under a
recent date, that his experience with
his cattle since their recovery appears
to refute the statements made TO him
about the effects of the disease, as well
appearance. Il visited the herd
in February" he says. with the
well.known veterinarian, DIR. r. w
McCuflyi of New York. He
pronounced their condition AL. l N.Y.
self considered them in better show
condition than when they we're in the
ring in Octobet. My manager informs
me he never saw the cattle in better
shape. either at The show or at home I"
Two cattlemen told US that they have
had excellent SUCCESS in curing THAR
herds.
1t would seem nearly time for nation
al and state authorities to know some
thing quite positive about this disease.
In the light of Mr.. Ames' experience
shall our own State, the next time we
have an outbrea&, kill every animal
affected?-Our Dumb Animals.

Building PROGRESSING.

Work on the many business houses
and residences under course of con-
struction in this city is progressing
nicely The contractors on the Elk S
New Home were delayed several days
owing to a delay in the shipment of
terra Gotta which came form New Jer-
sey. But this arrived last week and
workmen have been quite busy since
Work will be pushed and the building
will in all probability be ready for oc
cupancy by January l. This will be
magnificent structure when completed
and a monument TO the city.
The carriage repository of Mr.. w. A
Todd at the corner of,Second and Water
streets is about completed. This is
fine two-story brick building and great
ly adds TO the appearance of this Sec
tion of the city Mr.. Todd enjoys
splendid business at present, but no
doubt when he gets in his new home il
will be greatly increased, for he will be
better prepared to serve the public.
The brick residences being construct

rapidly pushed to completion I'd will
soon be ready fer occupancy. This will
be great addition to this part of our
city, which is making great strides in
the way of building.
The brick storereom of George Little
will soon receive the finishing touches,
and will be a decided improvement
over the ancient landmark that pre-
ceded it.
MIR. Wides is having erected on his
lot on East Main street modern home
at cost of $1,000. Work is progressing
nicely and it is the intention of the
owner to have it ready for occupancy
by he first of the year.
The new modern front placed in the
Stockton drug store, at the corner OF
Main and Second streets. has changed
the appearance of things more than
anything tAat has happened in long
time. There are many other business
houses on Main street and elsewhere
that need transforming. So, get busy.
and let's modernize old Richmond.

No More Bourbon Fair

The Bourbon Fair Association. which
was organized in 1886. and the oldest
fair association in the United States, is
no more. For some years the Bourbon
Fair has been losing proposition, and
At a meeting of the stockholders last
week the true condition of the Bourbon
County Agricultural Association was
made known, showing that the associa-
lion was in debt to the extent of about
$4,000, and that the fair of 1915 was
financial failure and added about $500
to the associations Indebtedness
After discussing the situation, it was the
opinion of the stockholders that, owing
to lack of interest in the fair and want
of patronage, any effort to hold fairs in
the futere wOnld only add to the
company's Indebtedness each year.
and that the association should
therefore take immediate steps TO wind
up the affairs of the association.

Must Show Unlawful Act

Affirming the Warren Circuit Court,
in the case of the Commonwealth
against ]. NJ. White, Adams Express
agent. at Bowling Green, the Court of
Appeals Thursday morning held that
interstate shipments of liquor, unless
designed for some illegal purposes. are
protected by the Mann Elkins act, max
ing it unlawful for a common carrier to
give information about interstate COM
merce shipments to anyone except the
consignee or conSignor. The court said
the presumption is that the shipments
are lawful. White was indicted and
acquitted of the charge of refusing to
show his record of interstate shipment

Mrs. SnOwden Lectures.
Greeted by Large Crowd.

A large and representative audience
of Richmond's most intelligent and cul-
tured people turned out on Saturday
evening to hear Mrs. Snowden lecture
at the First Christian Church. Much
had been said of the lecture and the
splendid work of this leader of women,
and those who heard her were not dis
appointed The speaker came on the
platform promptly at the appointed
hour, with Mrs. Warfield Bennett and
DIR. E. B. Barnes, the latter introducing
her in his dlgnifed, straightforward
manner, paying a high tribute to her
ability and the cause she represents.
From the moment Mrs. Snowden be-
gan speaking, till the close of her ad
dress, covering period of nearly two
hours, the most rapt attention and in
terest were manifested in her hearers.
A woman of commanding presence,
queenly and graceful, her language at
all times. was in keeping with her
character, earnest, logical, dispassion-
ate. That it has done much TO advance
the cause of suffrage in this comm unity,
is beyond question.
Mrs. Snowden met every issue fairly
and squarely, and many who had come
out to hear her through idle curiosity.
went away impressed with the great
soul of the woman. and dignity of her
work. Many signed the pledge to sup
port the work in this county.

P. Morrow is elected by a small ma,

Firm conviction is expressed by the
Democratic leaders that no contest

feet Mr.. Stanley's lead.
On the other hand, the Republicans
have instituted suits in Daviess, Nc
Cracken and Hart Counties in an eff.
fort to compel recount of the ballots,
claiming fraud in certain instances.
The Democrats have taken a similar
action in McCreary County.
These disputes, it is expected. will
be settled by the courts of the various
counties before the State Election
Commission make their final count on
November %.
The election of James d. Black.

met Thursday afternoon and made ten
tative selections for several of the
appointive offices which come under
its Jurisdiction. Since the election of
the new Council, therehas been much un-
easiness felt in the different depart
ments of the City government. Those
already in and holding jobs wanted to
stay. and several on the outside were
trying to get in. Those on the outside
were afraid they were not going 10 gel
in, and those already in-were afraid they
were going to be turned out. So fear
and grave apprehension reigned on all
sides. There were several applicants
who wanted to don the uniform and
carry the club of a policeman. In the
Police Department Messrs. Claudi.De-
wore and William Maupin were retired,
and Messrs. W. B. Lackey and Jesse
Kennedy were selected in their stead.
Mr.. James Potts was retained on the
force. Mr.. William Maupin was given
place in the Fire Department, and
Mr.. Squire Jones, who has been with
the Department for the past two years.
