Pineville Postofice Burglarizsd

Pineville Postoffice Burglarizsd
Last Sunday the postofiice at Pine
Vile was broken into by some boys
and the cash drawer, which con-
tanned about seven dollars was
emptied but no stamps were taken
After the police made an effort to
run the boys down, four negroes
were arrested. The boys plead
guilty. This, il is hoped by the
citizens Of pineville, will put an end,
for the time being, to the annoyance
Of the petty burglarizing that has
been taking place recently.
Big -Four Places Large Coal Order
For Kentucky Product
For the first time the Big Four
Railroad has placed an order for
10000 tons of steam coal with
mines within the territory Of the
Harlan coal fields. The shipment OF
this order began with July fst OF
this year. Coal for this division of
the Big Four was formerly bought
in West Virginia. The coal has al
ready been tested for steam purposes
and gives entire satisfaction. II is
believed that this initial purchase
is only an opening wedge to an
immense business TO be secured
from this and other Northern rail-
roads.
Teachers Institute at Harlan
The teachers Institute will be
held at Harlan beginning Monday
July 26, and continue for the week
IL is hoped that this will be the best
institute that ever was held IL
Harlan. II is urged that the teach
ers bring their problems that they
may work them out together. 1t il
announced that every teacher mus
attend these sessions unless prevent
ed by sickness. No other excuse car
be accepted. Professor Charles ID
Nevis will be the instructor and
cordial invitation is extended to al
patrons and those interested II
educational advancement in Harlan
County.
Webb Jury Hangs
Al the last term Of court held a
Irvine the trial Of John M. Webb
under indictment for murder IL
connection with the killing of Wal
ter Arthur, was finished. The jur,
after having been kept together til
Saturday, was dismissed after an
nouncing that no verdict could b'
reached. This trial resulted as die
the three previous ones in a huns
jury.
No civil actions were tried at thi'
term of court. Those who were con
victed OF felonies were sentenced
on Saturday morning to the Stat
Reformatory at Frankfort. Th'
court adjourned Saturday until thu
next regular term, which is in De
cember.
Irvine to Have Electric Lights
II is reported that by the 7th o
August, Irvine will be enjoying elec,
tric lights. For some unaccounta'
BILE reason the date corresponds will
that of the primary election day
III is presumed that on that day
few political lights will begin u
glow while many others will flickeI
and go out forever.) The work o
stringing the wires is well on thu
way as well as attaching the fix
lures.

From another source. as well
known and reputable, comes the
following:
Il beg to say that West Virginia
is not bankrupt and has not one
cent Of bonded Indebtedness at this
time. The state lost S6OO,OO0 in rev.
enue per year because Of the peo-
pie driving the liquor traffic from
the state. This was at once made
up by the board Of public works
in their 1914 levy. The additional
tax costs the people OF West Vir-
ginia five cents on each one-hundred
by such men as the state auditor and
the state tax commissioner, whose
letter and addresses I enclose, that
the tax rate will be lower because
Of the liquor traffic being driven

Washington, July Estate depart
ment ofYicials and others are now en-
gagged in drafting memoranda for the
use of the president in reaching
decision on the German crisis.
These will include not only . dis
cussion of the legal aspect OF the sub
marine issue in its present status,
but also recommendations a. TO
policy.
conference between the president
and Secretary Lansing will be the
first step toward an actual decision
as to the course of this government.
The conference probably will not take
place before the latter part or this
week. The president and Mr.. Lam
sing are much alike In their process,
in one respect at least, both seeking
a considerable period for undisturbed
reflection as a preliminary to ex-
changing views with others. In the
present instance both feel 1t would be
wiser to defer their conference until
each has had opportunity to arrive at
his own conclusion independently.
Consequently, whether Mr.. Lansing
will 90 to Cornish or not will depend
upon whether the president prefers
TO have the meeting in Washington
where he can also confer with his
cabinet. or whether he would rather
see Mr.. Lansing FIST and defer dis
cussion with his other advisers until
next week. y
This procedure indicates the de-
liberateness with which the presi-
dent and his chief advisers have de-
cided to approach the grave situa-
tion which the unresponsive German
note has created There is to be no
haste in arriving at a decision ana
consideration OF the action to be
taken will cover every possible con-
tingency.
Before such q note is dispatched
however, II is considered Imperative
that a definite decision be made as to
what this government is prepared to
do in the event that Germany further
violates those American rights for
which the president has contended.
As public opinion has been interpreted

things:
First: The maintenance Of the
strong stand taken by the United

Second: Keep the United States

within which the administration's
course must be laid In writing the

tant Move.
London, July 1s.-It Is announced
by the French war office that Souchez
cemetery, which was taken by French
troops last month after violent fight
ing, was the point of a concerted at
tack by the Germans.
The French war office makes q full
admission of the loss in its communi-
que, but fails to present any but the
most meager details of the conflict.
As the position Of the cemetery is
one Of great importance. however,
and as II had been won and held only
at the greatest cost in lives and ef-
fort, there can be no doubt but that
the defending troops did not give up
the contested ground until they had
been completely overwhelmed. The
fact that asphyxiating bombs were
used In preparing for the assault
makes II practically certain that the
defenders were greatly incapacitated
even before the German charge was
launched.
Early in the evening they began to
prepare for an infantry charge by
hurting quantities of asphyxiating
bombs into the French trenches.
Shortly before midnight the German
troops, the ground supposedly having
been we'll prepared. surged forth
from their trenches and charged for
ward with baycnets.
There was fighting Of an extremely
desperate character and the Germans
we're temporarily hurled back. I'm
mediately afterward. however. the
Germans charged forward in ever
greater numbers and with renewed
determination. and this time managed
to drive the French from the cemetery
and a few Of the adjoining trenches.

In the region of the Tisne there

In the Champagne II was calm dur
ing the day. In the Argonne the activ-
ites were very great. Two German
attacks were attempted in the Vais
image OF La Croix Des Carmes. The

The second was stopped before the
enemy had been able to leave his
trenches.
Comparative quiet reigns on the

President Wilson 0verruled By
Democratic Place-Seekers

Washington, July ii.-The hold
ing Of a Pan-American conference in
this city q short time ago, was q
magnificent effort on the part OF
the American Republics TO get TO-
gether for the promotion Of their
common commercial interests. The
subsequent appointment Of COM
mittee by the Secretary OF the
Treasury for continuation Of work
along the same line, was also
move in the right direction.
But all these efforts, so far as the
United States is concerned, cannot
repair the injury done TO the United
States in Central and South America
by this administration in discharg-
ing competent, experienced diplo-
matte representatives and filling
their places with men with neither
experience nor other special quail
fication. The administration not
only sacrificed the commercial in
terests OF the United States, but
forfeited large measure of the re-
'spect this country earned by many
years of effort TO build up high
STANDARD OF diplomatic efficiency.
Immediately after securing the
power, the administration began
tearing down the merit system which
had been built up by the promotions
based on efficiency. SO sudden and re-
lentless was the onslaught that pub
lie men could scarcely believe the
reports OF changes made, for II was

Interference Win
Mails Noe Before
Secretary of State

Washington, june 1s.-The first Of
tcial protest growing out Of reports
Of interference with the mails since
the European war began was was
before Secretary Lansing today with
a request for action.
The complaint w-as made BY swed-
ish minister Ekengren, who stated
that United States mail pouches des-
tined for Sweden had been broken
open in England; that letters had
been opened and censored. and that
one registered unit had been retain
ed. The communication recited two
specific instances If interference with
United States mail for Sweden, point
ed out that such acts were in viola
ton Of the provisions Of the world

propriate action be taken.

clined 70 indicate what action would

The christmas acenone.n .

The "Cenone," a Christmas custom of southern Italy, is also observed in Rome. It is an ancient festival of the lower classes and is held on Christmas eve. It Is fast-feast of it may So be designated) whose object is n re. union of families in n spirit of dcvo' tion. It consists of a supper at which macaroni and fish are the principal dishes. No other is served into whose composition either meat, yolks of eggs, milk or butter enters. Because of the "Cenone" the streets are deserted and dull on Christmas eve. After midnight in some sections noisy parades appear.
