ANOTHER GERMAN RAIDER
AT LARGE ON ATLANTIC

New York, Feb. 29.-Wireless
warnings that German commerce
raider, possibly accompanied by con
sorts, was attacking shipping in the
atlantic, were received by the STEM
dxrd Oil tarkcr Communipaw, which
arrived here to-day from Algio-s.
The first message was rs.:n'vet

ported being chased by a suspicious
ship which she believes to be a Ger
man raider. Position Web and WINK
Course west"
The Communipaw was some miles
south of the Azores when this mes
sage, apparently from the same ship,
said: ALTERED course to Wpn and
Ma"
The third and most significant mes
sage was received about o'clock
that evening. Its text was: Ger
man steamer is attacking shipping in
the Atlantic and may be assisted by
captured vessels which she armed.
Description 5000 tons, speed fifteen
knots, combination freight and pass
enger steamer. Carries two guns and
is posing as neutral"
The Communipaw was the center
of sensational rumors last December,
when it was reported that she had
been attacked and sunk by a subma-
rine in the Mediterranean. After
some days, during which Washington
tried in vain to ascertain her where
abouts she put into Algiers and her
captain denied that any attack had
been made.

200 CHILDREN OUT OF
SCHOOLS IN OWENSBORO

On account of the epidemic of
measles now prevalent in the city,
according to Prof. ]. H. Risley, SUI
perintendent of city schools, over 200
children are out of school. Mr.. Ris-
ley states that the severity of the
epidemic has fallen heaviest upon
the Third street and Seventh street
schools.
The fact that 200 and more pupils
are out of school, said Prof. Risley,
doesn't mean that there are that
many pupils stricken with the mala-
dy. The total number given includes
those who are i'll with the disease,
other children of the same families
and children who are either exposed
to infection or kept out by parents
to prevent contracting the disease.
The type of measles is very mild
and the physicians of the city state
they have the epidemic well in hand.
At the same time parents are urged
to take precautions against their
children needlessly contracting. the
malady.

GEN. VILLA FORCES KILL
AMERICAN CITIZEN

Washington, March 1.-The MUIR
der of Grover C. Warn, an Ameri-
can, by Villa forces at his home last
night, % miles north of Durango, was
reported officially today to the state
department. No other details were
given.
Reports today to the department of
justice, said Gen. Felix Diaz who
hopes to start a new revolution in
Mexico, left the United States on Feb
ruary IS, on a ship bound from
Tampa, Fla, to TERRA in the state
of Vera Cruz, Mex.
This advice came from an agent of
the bureau of investigation and Of
ficials were inclined to give it cred
ence.
Agents of the bureau were busy
today watching the reported Diaz plot
in various sections with a view to
checking any effort to send him arms
or ammunition. All centers of Mex
lean activity were watched and par
ticular attention was directed to Ell
Paso, where one of Diaz's friends is
believed to be working in his inter-
est and to New York where, it is I'M
derstood, an effort may be made to
obtain financial aid for the new rev.
olution.

ONLY is SMALLPOX
CASES IN LIVERMORE

TIE persistent rumors that have
been afioat during the past few days
to the effect that the town of Liver
more has been guaranteed on ac-
count of the large number Of cases Of
smallpox. was again denied this aft
ernoon. this time by J. w. Quigg, q
we'll known merchant of that place.
Mr.. Quigg says that II is true there
are about 15 cases of smallpox In
town. in houses that have been under
quarantine since the malady was dis
covered. A boarding house in which
two children are afflicted with the
disease is one of the places quaran-
tined.
All of the patients are children, ac-
cording to Mr.. Quigg. and the disease
is OF very mild form. But on this ac-
count the school trustees deemed It
best to close the city high school for
a period of two weeks, which was
done few days ago. Mr.. Quigg does
not anticipate any further spread Of
the disease, and the people living In
Livermore are not alarmed In the
least. Mr.. Quigg said that there was
some alarm felt out in the county.as
the-country people were afraid to
come to town for fear of contracting
the disease.-owensboro Inquirer

seer to warn in hands, keep up his
section Of road and all culverts and
bridges under 20 feet. Said over
seer to be liable to Indictment and
fine II he fails to keep roads and
bridges free from obstruction and in
good repair.
2. We don't think IL right for the
boys to work on the roads before they
are of legal age, nor would we think
much of any one who would holler
back to the farm" and encourage
such q system. We think II unfair
to the road hands to ask them to
furnish their own tools and without
any compensation whatever to keep
up the roads and bridges. The old
system would be less than half of the
wealth of the county keeping the
roads.
4. The roads of this county are
public property same as court house
and jail and it would be as fair to ask
the road hands to keep same in re-
pair. AS we understand it, the Fis-
cal Court went back to the old sys-
tenn for two reasons, viz: Lack of
funds and public sentiment. Without
censuring any one, we fear 1t was not
made public enough. We feel like
there should be an expression from
the boys in the trenches" And II
a majority of them are against keep
ing up the roads by the old system,
we don't think the fiscal court should
ask 1t, nor do we believe they will.

THE CONVENTION.

all could have been there for better
stimulant for that old cabin blood
would indeed be hard to find. The con-
yention hall was filled to capacity
and with it's galy decorations pre-
scented a scene worth going miles to
see. Some of them must have pre-
dicted that, too, for they were there
from all over the State, big, little,
old and young. A good brass band
played lively aires and when 1t struck
up the strains of Star Spangled Ban

mass rose as one and stood at atten-
ton until the echo of the last note
had ceased to be audible.

U. s. FORT PLANS FOUND
ON GERMAN OFFICERS

New York, March PLANS of
United States Notifications have been
found in the possession of Richard
Won Arend and Rudolph Won Kracht,
two young Germans arrested here on
charge of operating the mails to
swindle, according to a statement
made to-day by Assistant United
States District Attorney Macdonald.
Won Arend and Won Kracht, who
claim, according to the Federal au-
thorities, to be German army Lieu
tenants, were arraigned before a
United States commissioner here to-
day.
According to post Office inspectors
the two men had conducted a syste-
matte begging campaign through the
mails, asking for help on the ground
that they were destitute German ar
my officers. They are said to have
refused the aid of representatives of
charity organizations, because they
did not wish to make public their
antecedents, as required by such or
CARNATIONS.
Won Arend and Won Kracht were
held in $4,000 bail each for a hear
ing Saturday. They denied ever hav-
ing had any plans of American forts
and said the only things answering
such description that they owned
were pictures sent them from Ger
many by relatives.

The above will readily be recogniz-
ed by great majority of the people
of Ohio county and by almost all
Ohio county Republicans as toler-
ably good likeness of A. d. Kirk, of
Hartford. Ky.
Mr.. Kirk is, while young man, a
lawyer of recognized ability, force
full and entertaining speaker not only
in arguments pertaining to matters
of law but politics as we'll. The
Hartford bar has not produced a
more able or successful attorney in
years perhaps than the subject Of
this sketch.
Mr.. Kirk has always taken an ac-
tive interest in politics, having serv-
ed as chairman of the Ohio County
Campaign Committee during the last
campaign and he has been for some
time past, chairman of the Ohio
County Executive Committee which
position he fills, as is his custom, to
the entire satisfaction OF all. Mr..
Kinks term as chairman of the Ex-
ecutive Committee will expire with
the reorganization of the committee
some time after March the 18th,
1916, In case Mr.. Kirk declines to
succeed himself it is to be hoped that
the position may be filled by one dis
playing the same zeal and fairness
which it has been Mr.. Kinks appar-
ent pleasure to show.

TO THE OLD
ROAD WORKING SYSTEM

To the Fiscal Court of Ohio Co. .
Gentlemen:-We, the undersign-
ed voters and road hands of Beaver
Dam Magisterial District No. 2, 2 Of
Ohio county, Kentucky, do earnestly
request said court to meet us and the
road hands of the other respective
Magisterial Districts of the county,
at Hartford, KY, March IL. 1916. at
the County Union of the A. s. Of E.,
at 1 o'clock p. m, for the purpose of
advising together whether or not
the plan adopted by the Fiscal
Court at its last session In regard to
working the roads, and the people.
In justice to all concerned and In
fairness too, we. who have the bur-
den to bear, that is the farmers OF
this county, and more especially,
those between the ages of IS and so
years, we feel 1t would be putting
more than their share on them.
Therefore we, the committee appoint
ed to get this matter before the hon
orable court and the people of this
county, trust and believe that the
Fiscal Court will give this matter
due consideration.
The following are few of the
reasons we have against working the
road under the old system:
1. The law is not just that CON-
pels the overseer to take the place,
cit is fine of from $500 to $500
If he refuses. without compensation
except his road poll tax. Said over

ENGLISH THINK WAR IS NOW NEARING END.

LONDON July 16-All England is now considerably excited over the victories of the British armies over the Germans on the western front and some of the newspapers of this and other cities are pointing out that with the complete defeat of the Germans in the locality now being attacked, the war will end. cast the report received here from Amsterdam that German societies with well known German scientists and commercialists at their heads, are now promulgating peace propa- ganda in Germany
 Earl Grey, however, has issued warning to the people of the Brit ish empire, telling them not to be overconfident In an interview given in the London Times this morning he is reported as saying:
 "The favora ble progress made by our forces on the continent, assist ed by the French, justifies the eX- pectation of our final success. But we need all of our energy and we must by no means underestimate the strength of the enemy, for he is still strong We yet have much to accomplish and much to sacrifice before we can hope for a safe, last ing and right minded peace. The newspapers of the empire have ad mirably restrained themselves in the matter of understanding the Ger man strength and they must con tinue to do so."

Senate May Defend
 Waterpower Bill

WASHINGTON. D. C.. July 16,- It Is believed here that the senate may decide to defend the waterpower bill for the reason that the secretary of war was authorized to make charges for the use of the power created through the erection of dams on navigable streams. It is point ed out that the secretary could ap- prove the dams without consulting congress.
 The members of the upper house have about reached an agreement about the postoftice bill. It has been decided that newspapers from this country may be sent to the war fronts in Europe unless they show discrimination.
 There is considerable delay in the work of the senate. A caucus of senators has decided to adjourn until August 20. which means the tabling of the conservation bill the Shields bill and all other bills relat- ing to waterpower prohibition and woman's suffrage.
