 Another one of those heartless, brutal, unmerciful acts of the auto ist, who speeds along the highways re- gardless of the rights of others, leav- ing his victim seriously injured, or perhaps dying in the road, without the aid which might be given him in his sufferings, occurred Thursday evening near Taft's station when James Car penter, 45. of New Bedford, was struck by an automobile which did not stop but kept right on out of sight.

OBJECTIONS TO THE PLAN
One Being That The Admin
istration May Change
Next March.

Washington, Aug. 25,-Obiections
to the plan for the settlement of the
threatened strike again delayed final
action on the matter yesterday. The
plan, which includes granting of the
eight-hour day basis" in return for
the promise of the Administration
that all aid would be given in, secur-
ing of higher freight rates, was evolv-
ed by the subcommittee of eight
after frequent conferences with the
President. Two objections were
that the granting of higher freight
rates hinged on the unknown stand
of the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion, and that due to the short time
before the election, when the Admin
istration might change, the policy of
aid for the railroads might not be
followed in the next four years.

City To Observe Fair Holi-
day With An Industrial
Demonstration. ~
FREE TRANSFORMATION
For All Who Want to Go
Out to the Fair Il
Grounds. utsa

A great citizens parade, formed Of
all the people of Hopkinsville, but
especially of the working people who
will take holiday for the opening day
of the fair Tuesday, will form on
Ninth street Tuesday afternoon and
proceed to the Pennyroyal Fair
grounds. Company manners will be
laid aside and the business men of
the city have been asked to furnish
their trucks and business wagons and
autos to convey the army of pleasure
seekers out to the grounds. People
who want to go will have only to
come to Main and Ninth and Grand
Marshal J. o. Cook will attend to get
ting them seats in the conveyances.
President S. L. Cowherd is werk-
ing especially hard on the parade.
He is anxious that all the business
men give their conveyances to carry
the crowd out. Anything to ride in. II
will be just as much appreciated if a
messenger boy promises to take some
body on the handle bars of his bicycle
as if the biggest merchant in town
offers fine car. The spirit is what
will count. .!
Robt B. Hall, agent for the Harley
motorcycle, has offered one of his
motorcycles with a passenger seat on
the side; Sam Goldfein will give his
shoe-shaped buggy as means of
conveyance; the American Express
Company will use its express wagon
and Booker's Bakery will lend its
bakery wagon to the parade. These
are just examples of the vehicles that
are offered. Buggies, wagons, carts,
bicycles and autos will form in the
procession.
The parade will form facing Vir-
ginia street on Ninth. Mayor Frank
BasSett and Commissioner w. r.
Wicks will march in front of the par
ade. Chief of Police Ellis Roper with
his policemen in their uniforms will
form the guard of honor to the COM
missioners and be the first in line in
the parade. The fire department has
been called out and will form divi-
sion in the parade.
The vehicles of people going to the
fair will follow. Publicity chairman
Ben Hill says there should be two
hundred vehicles in the parade, 1t
will be unique procession, with all
the work trucks, delivery wagons,
BICYCLES, buggies, automobiles and
other vehicles of the town in line
and going to the fair. The parade is
splendid idea and is sure to be en-
tered into with full spirit by the bust
ness men and automobile owners.
The parade will form at exactly
one-thirty. 1t will leave for the fair
grounds as soon as il is formed.
The only vehicle the Kentuckian
has is a push cart in which to deliver
bundles, but it will let anybody who
wants to, ride out in that. I
People who go in the parade are
asked to get tickets at Cooks drug
store before leaving, in order to avoid
delay and confusion at the gate.

Allies Closing In on the Town
Of Combles In
France.
RUSSIANS IN MUSH AGAIN
Strict Censorship Of News on
The Saloniki Front and
Situation is Obscure.

London, Aug. 25.-Striking stimuli
taneously, the BIRTHS hand French have
made substantial gains on the Somme
front, according to Paris and London.
Maurepas has fallen to the French
who have pushed forward more than
200 yards beyond the town on front
of a mile and quarter. The British
report 800 yard advance of Thiepval
and the capture Of many prisoners.
The capture of Maurepas leaves
Clery almost surrounded and brings
the French directly in front Of the i'm
portant railroad town of Combles.
Thiepval is in about the same posi-
ton as Clery and the allied front, as
described now, resembles the teeth of
a great saw between which the Ger
mans are tenaciously holding the ruins
of several villages.
Dispatches from the Somme front
indicate that the French are prepar-
ing to extend their offensive for dis
lance of thirty miles south of the pres
ent battle line. They are reported to
have opened a tremendous cannonad-
ing from Estrees to Lassingy and the
bombardment is said to have reached
an unprecedented intensity the last
Two days.
No change is reported from the
east, but the Russian offensive in Ar
menia apparently is assuming power
full proportions. Petrograd reports
the reoccupation of the important Ar
menian town of Mush and the cap
ture of 2, 300 prisoners at Rachtau.
OBSCURE AT SALONIKL
The situation on the Saloniki front
remains obscure, but apparently there
has been no important changes since
the allied TANKS were forced back by
the Bulgarians at the opening of the
offensive. There have been no furth-
er reports as to the attitude OF Ruma-
mia and main interest is now centered
on Greece. Athens dispatches report
Greek volunteers rushing to Sores to
take up arms against the Bulgarians.
Conflicting reports are being receiv-
ed as to whether or not the Greeks
and Bulgarians have actually clashed.
Reports to the Greek capital state that
fighting has been going on at Sores
for days. D.,
The Italians who are pushing their
offensive on the extreme north of the
Austro-Italian line claim the capture
of several Austrian positions. There
has been an increase in artillery ac-
tivity along the Isonzo, but no infant
ny actions have been reported.
