Union Baptist church and Sunday
School in our sorrow over the loss of
our brother, John M. Clardy, do re-
solve:

sustained the loss of one of our most
faithful and dutiful members. and
that his absence in the activities of
the church and Sunday School is
deeply felt.
Second-That we wish to tender
our deepest sympathy and love to
the family in their bereavement and
sorrow. and assure them that his de-
parture though being their loss, is
his gain.

upon the pages of our minutes. also
that a copy be sent to the family.

Cincinnati Enquirer. who conducted
a political canvass OF Kentucky,

for the nomination. The totals are

will get approximately 45 per cent
of the total vote to be cast and that
he is fully 10 per cent. stronger than
Nc Chesney. He will. according to
the representations made to the
wri~er by knowing mez in each of

EDITORIAL COMMENTS.


Judge Jas. B. Black. of Barbour
vii e, Knox county. was in the city
this week in the interest of his can
didacy for the Democratic nomina-
ton for lieutenant governor. Judge
Black is not unknown to the Demo-
Gratis of this county. In his race for
Governor in 1900 he had strong sup.
port and there are many Democrats
this year who believe that the noun.
tains should have a representative
on the ticket. The nominee for
Goveraor i'll be from Western Ken
tucsy and Judge Blacks strong
claim for support 10 his location.
The mountains will be behind him
and he will add strength to the
whole ticket 10 a contest in which
vo es will be needed. His strength
is so well recognized that his name
is icing used to influence votes for
other candidates in the approaching
primary. AS the Kentuckian has
had occasion to say before. Judge
Black is one Of the most deserving
Democrats in Kentucky.

Notes in Reply to American

ENGLAND FOR ARBITRATION

Policy Of Stopping German
Supplies, However.

Washington, Aug. 4.-Great Brit
ian's reply to the latest American
repre-: entations against interferences
with neutral commerce, rejects en-
tirely the contention that the orders
in council are illegal and justifies
the British course as wholly within
international law.
"Unsustainable either in point of
law or upon principles of interna-
tional equity" is the British reply to
the American protest against the
blockade of neutral ports, with an
invitation to submit to international
arbitration any cases in which the
United States is dissatisfied with ac-
ton of British prize courts.
The British Reply is contained in
two notes, one supplemental. With
the notes was made public cores

Neches, seized by the British while
enroute from Rotterdam to the
United States with goods of German
origin.

During the last week the drift in

ley, and the same is true to lesser
degree in the rural districts of the
central and western portions of the
State, Information from Louisville
last night was to the effect that,
while Lieutenant Governor McDer-
mott was accorded a splendid attend
ance for his final rally, the business
men of the city in large numbers are
realizing that there is no likelihood
OF his nomination, and they are en-
couraeiBg the sentiment expressed
by Senate Ollie James in a statement
given out soon after his arrival If
Louisville this week.
1t looked q week ago as if McDer
mott would get three-fourths of the
vote IN Louisville. but to-day it does
not appear likely that he will receive
more than half cfit. From Coving-
ton and Newport comes the informa-
tion, from men who in the past have
correctly sized up those cities and
the counties in which they are, that
Stanley will have big pEuralities over
McDermott in both. The same COO.

GERMANS FAIL

Retirement Of Teutons From

LONDON, March 1O.-(3:1 10 a. mo-
-Telegraphing from Petrograd, the
Times correspondent, dealing with the
reported withdrawal Of the German
forces which have been attempting
to reduce the Ossowetz fortress says:
'This retirement Of the last OF
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg S
armies in Northern Poland marks the
failure of his whole effort in East
Prussia. The German raid will
doubtless be Judged by impartial OBJ
servers as one Of the costliest Ger
man failures on the eastern frontier
and as confirming the impression long

spairing Of success on the western
front, had staked everything on a
chance of victory over the Russians

the material damage they have caused
by wantonly plotting the war The
current fiscal year will probably show

100000 marks t$2 500, O,OOO,OOO) to in
sure the financing the war until the
late autumn and then proceeded to
describe the financial situation. He
asserted that both Great Britain and
France had falsely estimated Ger
many's financial resources because
Germanys increase of capital had
mostly been employed at home. The
fact was, the imperial secretary said,
that German national credit stood bet
ter than either that of Great Britain
or France at the present moment.
There was no need, DIR. Helffe-
rich continued, to impose new taxes in
Germany, for the government was
financing her war requirements ex-
clusively by loans and rote issues.
The demands of the empire on the
reichsbank, he said, again had ap-
preached the eliminating point but
the bank would be relieved by the see
ond war loan.
The Austrian war loan, according tC
the minister, also had been success
ful while of the enemy powers only
Great Britain had had any note
worthy success with her loan policy
Frances incapacity for decisive finan
cial action, he said, was astonishing
France apparently had been unable

policy, the minister declared, con

WICKERSHAM ATTEMPTED TO BRING
ABOUT MERGER OF CALIFORNIA ROADS

the Southern Pacific tracks from Sac
ramento to San Francisco.
"They wouldn't play with us any
more unless we made that concession"
said Mr.. Kruttschnitt.
The railroad commission said at the
time that if the Union Pacific was
given exclusive trackage rights in
these terminals and the Southern Pa
cifc line from Sacramento, that there
would result a vast merger of the
Union Pacific and the Southern Pacific
that the Union Pacific, Central Paci-
fic and the Southern Pacific would be
units in continuous road.
Attorneys for the Southern Pacific
elected this evidence from krutt-
schnitt today to prove that at one
time, during Wickersham' regime, the
government attempted to bring about
merger, the equivalent of which it
| is now trying to break in it's suit to
dissolve the Southern and Central Pa
cific railroads. 1t was also shown that
if the governments suit succeeds that
Northern California lines owned by
the Central Pacific and operated in
conjunction with the Southern Pacific
lines now will be cut off from the roads
of the rest of the state.
! Asked what the dissolution of the
Central and Southern Pacific railroads
at this time would cost the Southern
Pacific company, the holding corpora.
ton, the witness replied:
"By the terms of the loan to us by
a syndicate of French bankers of $780,.
100000 in 1911, any abrogation of our
lease of the Central Pacific would be
subject to an immediate call upon the
loan If this call should be made to
morrow, the loan would have cost us
1 $6,O00,OOO. To re-borrow that amount
of money under present conditions for
80 years upon bonds, we would have
to pay price in interest of approx
mately $15,500,0 ,000-making a total
cost of more than $21, 100000, should
we be robbed of the Central Pacific
"Furthermore," said Mr.. Krutt
schnitt, IAN unmerging of the two
roads would demoralize the Southern
Pacific system and wreak upon stock
holders unjust financial havoc"
At this point in the testimony it de
veloped that the French syndicate
which subscribed to the $50,O00,00(
loan in 1911, taking as collateral prac
tically the entire holdings of the South
ern Pacific company, was factor II
