Peace Congress at San Francisco did
with slighttchange indorse its program
The national council took advanced
stand in declaring for "a plan of In
ternationalE organization" a great for.
ward step because the league is a
proposal to secure peace by method
essentially warlike. From the actions
of this council. representative as II is
of the thoughtful middle classes in our
nation. it is possible to estimate some
what the strength Of the antiprepared-
ness cause. The East seems to be the
center of the war dreaders who think
that material force must be the last
court of resort. The West comes out
strong for the moral power Of the ma.
ton as its greatest defense. Where
will the South stand? Mr.. Bryan
no hero of ours-deserves the high.
est credit for his courage and inyinci.
bic principle. He has still a large fol.
lowing. That following plus the mil.
lions who do not acknowledge his
leadership, but who still believe In a
Christian way out of this world crisis
will unduestionably put up a good
fight. We may lose in this Congress,
but we shall win in the end. Old
Mother Earth is not going to turn
back after producing nation that so
nearly embodies the principles toward
which her children have for ages been
steadily progressing. We Christians
believe that the Prince OF Peace leads
and we do not favor signing up our
nation on the roster OF the demon Of

CHILD MEETS
HORRIBLE FATE
Asleep in Grass Near Home at Cedar
Greek When Heavily-Laden
Wagon Runs Over Him.

On Tuesday the fve-year-old son
of Mr.. Sadly Doane was run over and
killed at his home near Cedar Creek,
known as the George Abraham's
farm. 1t seems that the little fellow
was waiting on the bridge near his
home for the wagons hauling in hay,
and had been swinging on behind
and riding to the barn. He went as
far as the bridge and lay down and
went to sleep in a bunch of weeds
at the edge of the bridge. His little
cousin, about twelve years of age,
drove up with a wagon load of hay,
and failed to see the little form ly-
ing so peacefully asleep. The heavy
wagon passed over the middle of his
of his body and with the cry of
Mamma" on his lips, his spirit
passed from earth. The stricken
parents have the deepest sympathy
of every one in this sad hour. The
little cousin is heart-broken and re-
fuses to be comforted.

NO MALT MEAD AT G. 0.

Soft drink establishments at Crab
Orchard will in the future handle no
more malt mead, or other drinks,
made in imitation of beer, and which
contain a small per cent of alcohol.
This was decided a short time ago
when the licenses of the two soft
drinks stands at Crab Orchard ex-
pired, and the owners failed to make
application for renewal of the malt
mead privilege. 1t is reported that
quite lengthy petition had been
signed by the best people of the cap
ital of the East End, requesting the
City Fathers to refuse to grant such
license, and the proprietors decided
not to defy public sentiment and did
not ask for renewal of their malt
mead and other such drink licenses.
1t is understood that country store
near Preachersville, has just taken
out the malt mead license, however,
and will sell the stuff. Uncle Sam re-
quires license for the sale of such
drinks as this, also.

Stanford Fair Offers $50 for Best
Young Hybrid, Winner to Become
Property of Fair Association

Public spirited business men all
over this and neighboring counties
are contributing literally to the spe-
cial premiums for the Knights of
Pythias Fair to be held in Stanford,
August %, "a, and 25. A splendid
list has already been secured, which
assures one of the most attractive
premium lists of any fair in a coun-
try town in Kentucky this season.
A new and very attractive feature
will be the Mule Colt Stake this sea-
son, which will be one of the most
liberal and attractive offered on any
fair circuit this season. The stake
this year will be worth $3.50, which
will go to the winning colt. but a pro-
vision of the stake will be that the
animal which wins the blue and the
money will become property of the
Fair Association. This will be in
effect offering the sum of $3.50 for
the best mule colt in this section.
which is an offer that no breeder
would probably refuse for the best
young hybrid in his lot The ring is
an innovation which is bound to at
tract lot of attention, and will IN
dOubtedly prove very popular. No
entrance fee will be charged to the
ring.

BURGLARS AT CRAB ORCHARD
Several Citizens Homes Visited By
Midnight Marauder.

Several Crab Orchard people had
visits from a burglar Wednesday
night and at least two of them feel
the effects of the call. DIR. w. w.
Burgin's home was entered by win
dow of the dining room and his pants,
which were lying close to the bed,
were relieved of two SIS bills and So
or "a in silver. The scamp was clev-
er enough to leave his watch. j. H.
Collier, who also lives in the depot
end of the city, was visited and $50
in paper taken from his coat pocket.
Thinking everybody honest, Mr.. Col
lier does not lock his doors and the
thief found easy sailing in his prem
Uses. His watch, fine gold one, was
also overlooked. Frank Brooks had a
call, but the visitor made so much
noise that he awoke the host, who
scared him away. The same night
footsteps were heard on George Par
rish's porch and when the door was
opened the imposter was heard to
jump from the side of the porch and
take to his heels. So far officers
have been unable to ascertain who
the rascal is, but every effort will be
brought about in the effort to land
him.

CARROLL SHANKS TO GET JOB
In State Banking Department-Said
to Have Stanley's Promise.

The appointment of Senator Geo.
G. Speer, of Frankfort by Gov. Stan
ley, as State Banking Commissioner
this week, lent hopes to his many
friends here that the appointment of
W. Carroll Shanks, of this city, as
State Bank Examiner, would be an
nounced at the same time. 1t has been
understood for some time that Mr..
Shanks was to receive this plum from
Gov. Stanley, who is his close cousin,
and who is said to have promised
it to him some time ago. However,
Commissioner Speer at once appoint
ed Rankin Revill, Rodes Settle and
]. Stone Walker as Bank Examiners,
so that just what position Mr. Shanks
is to receive is not generally known,
as there have been but three regular
Bank Examiners in the Office during
the past term of Banking Commits
sioner Thomas j. Smith, of Rich
mond, who has just retired. Mr.
Shanks, who is one of the most prom
inent and best known farmers of the
county, has been taking a special
course in banking at the Lincoln
County National Bank for several
months, in order to be prepared to
fill the position the governor is said
to have promised him.

CARRANZA BACKS DOWN.

Washington, July EARLY re-
sumption of friendly diplomatic con-
versations with the de facto govern
ment of Mexico to the end that peace
and order may be restored in North
ern Mexico and along the border is
expected here to be the next step of
the United States in it's deliberations
with its Southern neighbor.
The crisis precipitated by Villas
raid on Columbus, N. NJ, and culmi-
mating in the fight at Carrizal, Mex,
between American and Mexican
troops, appeared Thursday to have
been dissipated by an amicable note
from Gen. Carranza, presented dur
ing the day by his Ambassador Desig-
nate here, Eliseo Arredondo.
TIL note proposes that the differ
ences between the Governments be
setted by mediation or by direct ne
gotiations. 1t is remarkable for its
brevity, it's restrained and friendly
tone and for the absolute lack of any
of the strong, even insolent language
which characterized the last two COM
munications from the de facto gov
eminent. 1t treats as a closed Incl
dent the exchange of unfriendly COM
munications which brought war al
most within sight.
The de facto Government of Mex
leo was informally informed last
night through Eliseo Arrendondo,
Ambassador designate, that the
United States welcomed Gen. Carran-
za's proposal to adjust all pending
differences between the two Govern
ments by direct diplomatic negotia-
ton.

BURGLAR ON LOGAN AVENUE.

A burglar, who seemed more hun
CRY than anything else, visited the
home of w. S. Erhbry on Logan ave-
nue. some time Tuesday night. He
effected entrance through a side Win
dow, took cold cooked chicken, and
other eatables, then rifed Mr. En-
bry's trousers, securing about 80
cents in money and several soda
water chips, but either overlooked or
was afraid to steal Mr.. Embry's gold
watch which was in the small watch
pocket of the trousers. The intruder
flung the trousers on a chair and de-
parted without waking either Mr..
Embry or his wife, and left no clew
to his identity.

GREAT "DRIVE"
STILL GOES ON
English and French Penetrate Seconc
Line Trenches of Germans
And Still Go Forward

The great offensive or "drive" of
the English and French armies in an
effort to force the Germans out OF
France and Belgium, started July 1st
after an intense artillery lombard
ment. So far the allies claim to have
caused the Germans loss of about
10000 men. The allies have pene-
trated at points a distance up to sew
en- miles through the German first
and second lines of trenches. The
latest dispatch from London has this
to say of the offensive:
Having captured the whole Ger
man second line south of the Somme
river from the river to Belloy. the
French have resumed operations to
the north of the river and have clear
ed the bank almost to Clery. The
French who have established Them
selves at Sormont farm also threat
en- Clery. The British are still neav-
lily engaged all along their front
from Hardecourt Notwithstanding
heavy German counter-atacks, t. Gy
have been able to maintain all che
ground gained and extended it at
some points.
AS the German trenches are occu-
pied, evidence accumulates of the
deadly execution of artillery. In
some cases 80 per cent of the defend
ers were killed by the terrific Smelling
to which they were subjected Brit
ish losses vary. Certain formations
being called on to attack defenses
where machine guns remained IN
damaged, suffered heavily. Others
captured the positions which they
had been set as their objective with
very slight losses.
Instead of compelling the Germans
to lessen their efforts at Verdun. the
Anglo-French offensive seems to
have increased their determination,
possibly in the hope of preventing the
French from sending reinforcements
to the Somme.
observers express satisfac-
ton with the progress which has been
made. With the heavy casualties
caused by the bombardment and the
taking of 10000 prisoners and
great quantity of war materials, to-
gether with the subsequent losses in
flicted in counter-attacks, it is be-
lieved that the German power of re-
sistance must have been weakened.
The Russians continue to record
successes, some of which are import
ant, along theic whole front from
Riga to the Carpathians. The situa-
ton in the Caucasus is somewhat
confusing. Turkish and Russian re-
ports are more at variance thar U.s.
ual, both claiming victories in the
Schoruk region on the Russian right.
