FARMERS THREATEN
 THEIR OWN BAYCOTT
May Take Retahatory Step
 Against Louisville Citizens

Louisville, Ky, Dec. "A new angle to the food boycott question has developed heee. AS result of the local boycott on butter and eggs, which is fostered by the Woman Suf- frage association, local merchants are facing the probability of retaliatory ban by Kentucky farmers against all products manufactured in or offered for sale through this city.
 This is the warning brought here by Godfrey Morgan, United States ex- pert in charge of county agriculture agents in Kentucky, who has just com pleted a tour of the state. He stated that the sentiment among the farmers is bitter against Louisville on account of the boycott. and that the ban on butter and eggs is. in their opinion. equivalent to being blacklisted.

COMPULSORY INSURANCE.
Illinois Official Believes in Forcing
 Policies on Everyone.

Washington, Dec. flaws requir- ing every person to carry health in surance was advocated by Rufus L. Potts, insurance superintendent of H. linois speaking at today conference on social insurance. Because more than half the premiums paid private corporation for health insurance usu- ally goes for expenses and profits, he characterized that system as mot only entirely indefensible from the econ- omic standpoint but grevously wrong morally and demanding immediate reformation''
 With a compulsory law" MT. Potts said, "the benefits of health insur- ance could be made universal at much less than one half the present cost, thus bringing more than double re- turns in benefits. It, would be wholly improper, however, to enact such a law unless the state provided system by which the insurance could be ob- tained at actual cost"
 Other speakers described health insurance systems maintained by trade unions, industrial concerns, or mutual benefit societies.

No advance in Coffee.

New York, Dec. 7.--Despite the in creased cost of roasting coffee and putting it into packages for the retail trade, it Is not likely that the retail price will be advanced. according to Ross Weir, one of the Conferees at a meeting of the coffee trade repre- sentatives> of New England, Philadel- phia, Baltimore and New York here yesterday.
 '"There is plenty of coffee in the United States" MT. Weir said. "anG while it costs us more than a year ago 1t is not so high as to warrant an advance in the retail price of coffee in packages. There are great stores of coffee in England and France and I believe the supply Is sufficient to last those countries until the end of the v

Sees Possibility of Wars End.

Amsterdam, via London, Dec z, 6:3O a. m.-The resignation of Premier Asquith clears the situation, accord- ing to the Koelnische Zeitung. Conn menting on the English political crisis the paper says:
 "The enemeys last forces will now be brought into the field and when they, like the others, have hurled themselves vainly against the strength of Germany, we shall find England ready for an honest peace"
 The Cologne Volks Zeitung says that the Germans can view political events in England with complete composure. '"The leading man." it says, "in the most powerful of the enemy countries confirms by his resignation the failure of the war policy hitherto followed by the Entente. If the strong men in England now come into power this can only please us for it gives the hope that a decision will come all the earlier.

straight forward way to end the crisis" says:
 ''The outcome cannot be fOretold. This however, can be said that Lloyd George has a far better chance of forming a government than Bonar Law Whether he will succeed will depend largely on himself and his often tried power of rallying men of talent and enthusiasm to his side" The Chronicle, referring to the diff faculties facing the new premier, says: "Only a man of lion-hearted cour- age would face them He has no or ganized following in the house of com mons and no party machine to help him, whilst the situation of affairs, whether at home or abroad, is not by any means cheerful. But the very boldness of the enterprise may win the sympathy of the British democracy, in which case lack of support from the party machines will be immater- ial'
 Under the circumstances it is be- 1ieved the construction of the cabinet will be a matter of only a day or so and by Monday the new government will meet the house of commons to learn what manner of reception will be accorded it. A test of it's strength can be made on the vote of credit which must be moved immediately.
 Today's session of the house of com mons was expected to be a formal one, it being doubtful whether any of the

VISITING NURSES ON
 HUNDREDS OF CASES
Three Workers Make 7,1S2 Calls
 During Past Year

Reports of the work done by the three visiting nurses, Miss Sarah Ham rick, Miss Heath and Miss Irene Fee ney, during the past year made by Miss Hamrick at the annual meeting of the Visiting Nurses association held this afternoon at the Y. w. c. A. parlors showed that the work is of such a quality and quantity that it has become one of the essentials of the city. Acting philanthropically, these nurses have done untold good among the poor sick and needy, as the re- port will show.
 The nurses had 729 cases which they attended during the past twelve months. and of these 295, were char ity cases. Payment of some amount was received in 11S cases The nurses had 316 cases for a life insur- ance company and made 1,516 sep arate visits for the company. Of the 729 cases attended, twenty-five were removed to-, the hospital for treat ment and thirty patients subsequently, died. Those at whose homes calls were made and were discontinued as the patient had either recovered or was convalescent numbered 669 and on December 1 the nurses had thirty patients under observation. This years work necessitated the three nurses making 7,132 separate visits.
 The work of the visiting nurses Is nonsectarian and Is not confined to any one nationality, twenty different nationalities having been represented among their patients during the year. The nurses also assisted at 137 ma ternity cases, two of which were twins
 Another example showing the work done by these willing nurses is that they gave $500 baths to patients in the past twelve months. A partial list of the more important cases in which the nurses administered Is herewith given: Pneumonia, 21; acci- dent, 21; grip. 27; ileocolitis, 25; rheumatism IS; measles, 16; surgi- cal cases. 115; dressing of surgical wounds, 1,649; and in 72 cases they acted as assistants at operations
 At present the quarters of the Visiting Nurses association are at PAY Chestnut street, but after January they will be at the Boys club building at the corner of Center and East Main streets.

Bridgeport, Dec. 1.-The steam Rug John Glen of Bridgeport limped into port last evening and docked without reversing her engine, for fear ! of sinking, as the result of having been in collision and having her stern storn off.

 gould do no more than hold her own &The tug Robert McAllister, of the
 same line, was sent to assist the strug- $gling steamer Then the hawser Sparted and the three barges went
 hdrift.
 ] After they had been brought to- &gether again, the Glen, while passing &a line from the stern to the bow of #he McAllister was lifted by a big Fwave and thrown against the bow of the. other tug, the Glen's stern being Shattered. The two tugs came in Fwith the tow but the stern of the kGlen was open and timber dragging lin the water. Her fireman, who was lon the stern trying to throw a line, narrowly escaped being crushed. The was uninjured.
