SOUTH G STREET
BELIEVED CHOICE
FOR BRIDGE SITE

Members of the joint committee
from the South Side and the South
West Richmond Improvement associa'
ton will attend the meeting of the
county commissioners tomorrow morn
ing in the interests of the south side
bridge. The commissioners have
promised that they will decide upon a
location at that time and will request
County Bridge Engineer Mueller to
make a more complete report as soon
as possible SO that they may be able
to decide when to begin active work
on the plans for construction.
The commissioners, it is understood
have decided that South G street is
the most advisable location. The
question of location has been entirely
ignored by the joint committee since
the understanding was reached at the
meeting of the two associations two
weeks ago when they decided to keep
hands Off"

EXPLAIN DEATH BLOW
TO PAVEMENT PROJECT

Members Of the board Of public
works explained today that the resolu-
tion for the paving of the first block
of South Seventh street and for the
placing of trunk sewer in that block
had been rescinded principally because
the city did not desire to invest $4,000
in a sewer which could not be used for
three or four years, until the proposed
South C street sewer was constructed.
The board is anticipating a remon-
STRANGE against the paving of Rich
mond avenue, from the bridge to West
Fifth street, because the board has re-
fused to amend the resolution to ex-
tend the improvement to West Seventh
street. In the event of successful
remonstrance the question will be re-
ferred to council for final action.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE Unit

ships and to sink them without warn.
ing after March /.
Two weeks ago the state depart.
ment suggested to Great Britain and
her allies that in the future merchant.
men be unarmed. The proposition met
with disfavor in every allied foreign
office.
Formal rejection of the plan is ex.
pected from London, Paris, Rome and
Petrograd. Now Germany and Austria
however, complicate the situation by
accepting without reservation the
proposition made of their enemies.
While the United States regards
this acceptance on the part of the cen
trail powers as victory for it's con-
tention that unarmed merchantmen
must not be sunk without warning,
the conditions of acceptance are such
that endless complications hardly can
be prevented.

NATIONAL GUARD men
CAUSE GARRIS0N'S FALL

WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.-Friends
of former Secretary Garrison emphati
cally denied today that the question
of politics entered into his resignation
They insisted that suggestions that he
was desirous OF becoming q candidate
for governor were entirely wrong.
Not single intimate Of either the
president or Secretary Garrison had
any knowledge that the differences be
tween them were serious. It was
known that Garrison was disappointed
over the failure of the president to
support his continental army against
anything else.
Garrison, his friends felt, that he
had fallen a victim to the political
element interested in the maintaining
of the national guard as the real first
line of reserve defense" and that there
was no use trying to combat this in.
fluence which controlled many votes.
The resignation Of Garrison, there.
fore, was accepted as meaning that the
national guard is to retain it's present
position. The president has not aban-
doned the continental army plan, but
he has had 1t made plain to him that
1t hardly can expect to so through

JUDkINS STICKS
IN COUNTY RACE

John W. Judkins of Cambridge City
in an interview today declared that he
had no intention of Withdrawing his
candidacy for the Republican nomina-
tion for joint representati-e from
Wayne and Union counties to give
clear field to Oliver P. Lafuze of Union
county, the so-called regular Republi-
can candidate. Until a month ago
Judkins was affiliated with the Pro-
gressives and was twice elected by
that party to the legislature as repre-
sentative from Wayne county. Judkins
has been advised by Wayne county
Republican leaders to withdraw his
candidacy, it having been explained to
him that. in line with political GUS
tom, Union county this year is entitled
to name the candidate for joint repre-
sentative
Judkins said today that Wayne coun-
ty was as much entitled to place a can
didate in the field for the Republican
joint representative nomination az
Union county was.
There was time when q few men
could dictate political policies In this
county but not any more" Judkins re-
marked.
He then asserted that NO Wayne
county Republican had filled the office
as a joint legislative representative
from Wayne and Union counties since
1909.

Gray Makes Defense.

Gray Makes Defense.
Judge Gray made a defense of his
brothers record in public and private
life. and declared that the only op-
position to his denomination at this
time was on the part of some dis
gruntled office seekers.
He also absolved Representative
Gray of having had any part in the
fiasco which resulted when the rural
mail routes in Wayne county were
motorized. The Judge said his brother
had spent his own money" to make
a special trip from Connersville to
Washington to protest against the mo-
torfzation order. Then he figured it
out to his auditors that the national
administration was to blame. He said
Postmaster General Burleson had au-
thorfzed the reorganization of the ru-
raj mail service, and called attention
to the fact that Burleson had been
appointed to Office by the president.

to the rescue of the country"
Throughout the address the judge re-
ferred to Lontz as the general in COM
