WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.-Interna-
tional affairs were again causing
Pres't Wilson grave concern today.
Germany is reported as intensely ir-
ritated over the demand for the re-
call OF Capt. Boy-ed and Capt. Won
Papen, Austria holds a grievance be-
cause of the fiat charge by the at
torney generals office that her con-
sular Representatives are plotting
against American munitiOn factories.

today the opponents of the sea policy
of the allies initiated a campaign
which. administration officials fear,

May Limit Debate.

In an effort TO as much as posi- BILE
limit any discussion Of international
relations by congress Pres't Wilson
will confer soon with the chairmen
and leading minority members Of the
senate and house foreign affairs COM
mittees. They will be asked TO en-
deavor to hold within bounds any
debate dealing with the war. This
will be easy In the senate. where a
resolution for an executive session
always is in order. But in the house
IL is expected that the debate will
have a wide range that may prove
very embarrassing.
So far as the status OF the German
military and naval attaches was con-
cerned this government still is wait
ing for an expression from Count
Won Bernstorff. Both officers are
here at the embassy. but they have
positively declined TO discuss their
plans in any way. Sec'y Lansing
said today that he was still waiting
for a request for Capt. Boy-ed's safe
conduct and indicated that as soon
as II received he will take the mat
ter up with Ambassadors Spring
Rice and Jusserand. No one doubts
that both officers will be ordered
home as international usage de-
mands that when nation announc-
es that any embassy attache is per-
sonally unwelcome the recall shall
take place without debate.
First Opening Gun.
The opposition 10 the allied sea
policy fired its opening gun today
when Sen. sHOke Smith Of Georgia
introduced his promised resolution
directing the senate committee on
foreign relations inquire into the le
gality. under international law OF
the blockade Of neutral ports by the
warships Of the allied powers and
their interference with American
commerce. The resolution at the
senator's request will lie on the table
until Wednesday or Thursday when
"a will call il up to debate il.

J. Quincy Ward, executive agent
of the Kentucky Fish and Game
Commission, has notified local sports
men that a flock of English ring
neck pheasants will be sent to Chris
tian to be turned loose for the pur.
pose of stocking the county with
these game birds. In his letter Mr..
Ward says that these birds were Sc
cured from one of the largest es-
tates in England and will be shipped
from Liverpool in a few days and as
soon as they arrive they will be sent
to the various counties in the state
where they are to be placed. There
is fine of $25 to 500 for killing
them. Every man upon whose
farm the birds are liberated will be
required to pledge himself to look
after and protect them in every way
and report promptly if they are
killed. and. if possible, who killed
them.

ONLY l6 COUNTIES
Fail To Get In Applications For
State Aid For Roads.

Only 1s of the 120 counties failed
to ask for state aid for road building,
on the basis of dollar for dollar, to
be spent by county and state.
The mountain counties failing to
apply were: Powell. Jackson, Lee,
Harlan, Owsley, Bresthitt, Wolfe,
Perry, Floyd, Magoffin. Morgan and
Pike.
Henderson and Crittenden counties
are the only two in Western Kentucy
which did not apply. Henderson has
to spend $4,000 on a tuberculosis
sanatorium, and is short of funds
for 1915. No other northern coun-
ties in the State neglected to apply,
and only. three, Green, Metcalfe and
Cumberland, in the southern part
are left out.
After the Fiscal Court of Trigg
refused to make an appropriation to
take advantage of the State Aid
Road Fund, a number of citizens of
the Caledonia neighborhood SUBJ
scribed 1868 and asked the county to
make application for an equal amount
from the State fund, which was
made Wednesday.

A man quarreled with his friend 81

the man.
And the friend made a face at him
and went away.
A little after, they both died and
came together before the great JUS
tice OF the peace. It began to look
black for the friend. but the man for
a while had clear character and
was getting into good spirits.

notes. Which of you was in the
wrong?"
HE was" said the man. He spoke
i'll of me behind my back"
Did he so?" said the justice. And
pray how did he speak about your
neighbors?"
"Oh, he had always a nasty tongue,
said the man.
And you chose him for your
friend" cried the justice. My good
fellow, We have no use here for
FOOLS"
So the man was cast in the pit, and
the friend laughed out aloud in the
dark and remained to be tried on 9TH

REMINDER OF ROMAN GLORY
Old French Village Reveals Thorough
ness Of the one-Time Rulers
of the World.

A few miles north of Marseilles, and
within easy walk of the tram to AK
en-Provence, lies a typical Provencal
village that tourists usually miss,
writes a correspondent of the Wide
World Magazine. 1t was founded by
the Romans during their occupation
of the south of France, and is built
in accordance with the custom of that
dime. The houses appear to be
perched on top OF each other, but on
closer inspection are found to be built
on lodges IN hillside. This hill is
the most interesting feature of the
place. What appears as a solitary
crag is in reality castle, the rooms,
Notifications, etc, being cut out Of
the solid rock and forming a fortress
practically impregnable in those days
At the side of the castle is round
tower, about forty feet in height and
seven feet in diameter. The interior
of this tower acted as the wireless
station" in Roman times. 1t consisted
OF series of pigeon lofts. from which
the birds, bearing messages. we're sent
direct to Rome. The whole of the in.
terror was constructed of very hard
cement, which, with the wear of ages,
is now slowly decaying, and only one
perfect loft" now remains. There
was accommodation for about two
hundred and fifty pairs of birds. to-
gether with an abundant water and
grain supply, the attendants being
CHARTERED in the castle.

COLDS
An up-to-date remedy for
colds. That is.what Peruna
is. In successful use over
so years.

Colds are caught in many
ways: lily ventilated rooms;
rooms that have direct draughts !;
crowded rooms; damp houses I;
stuffy school rooms; Offices lily
heated.
A dose of Peruna at the right
time, at the first symptom of
cold, before the bones begin to
ache, before the sore throat
manifests itself, or the cough, or
the discharge from the nose, Just
a dose or two of Peruna' before
these symptoms begin is gener-
ally sufficient. But after the cold
is once established with the
above symptoms prominent, a
bottle OF Peruna, or maybe two,
will be necessary.
For several years I have been
troubled with colds at each change
of season. 1 took Peruna and have
not been troubled with the slightest
cold this entire season." Mr.. Harry

 with deep black fertile soil, and is worked by some 100000 farmers Tho climate of Bessagarbia Is that of the United States. extremely cold in win ter and extremiy hot in summer and, due to it's sharp summer season, the province raises fruits that view with American fancy fruits in all the best markets of Europe All of the domes; tic animals. grains and grapes are ai- SO raised. Bessabarbia produces IT, 0O0OOO gallons of wine yearly, which blended with and named for Europe's best, are known In every land.

BOSTON PAPER SAYS
 BUY RAY CONSOLIDATED


 The Boston News Bureau, answer ing a correspondent, has the following to say of Ray Consolidated. Q Jackline copper stock:
 Ray Consolidated is one of the most attractive purchases on the en- tire copper list The company is producing about 65,O0O-O0O pounds of copper per annuni at cost of eight and one-halt cents per pound. On the present price of the metal earnings are at the rate Of S70OO.0OO per am nun or S45O per share. Dividends win be resumed next month at the quarterly rate Of S7 F cents per share which are, of course, being earned by Q comfortable margin
 Ray Consolidated has produced at tho rate of over 70,000.000 pounds per annum. and this output should very shortly again be reached. but this is not the ultimate maximum. The management has important improve ments under way for the treatment of Ray Consolidated ores, which should result in Q larger production than has heretofore been made, and at lower costs. An output of S0,0OO.OOO to 9O.- 0oo,00O pounds per annum and better than an Scent cost are reasonable ex- pectations for the property within the next year.
