GERMANY'S TRUE RESPONSE.

While the United States and Holland are waiting for m explanation
from Germany Of the recent sinking OF the liners without warning, Berlin
publishes with satisfaction, the New York World say the record OF its
submarines and floating mines in the month of March, and operations fol
April start out with undnminished energy.
Besides the boasts OF merchant. tonnage destroyed, which unquestiona-
bly, includes the ships in which Americans and Honanders have the keen
est interest there are reports from Petrograd, without denial in any quar-
ter, that a German submarine has torpedoes a hospital ship in the Black
who were acting as nurses.
Experience has shown that the German foreign office is capable of
making different kinds of replies to friendly inquiries as to the fate of
neutrals who chance to- fall victims to the frghtfulness at sea, but the most
convincing response is, that which is recorded from day to day in the list
of new outrages and assassnaions

Electrical Demonstration

Last Tuesday Mr.. J. I. Noe,
representing H. G. Tafel & Co.,
of Louisville, gave a most inter-
esting demonstration of electrical
appliances. Mr.. Noe is an artist
at the business and showed the
public generally that it was easy
to get along if you have the elec-
trio current.
He demonstrated how easy it
is to make coffee, bake biscuits,
fry eggs, cook roast, and in fact,
cook anything, no matter what,
from soup beans to the most del
icate kind of cooking. He did
not stop at that. He showed how
to run the sewing machine, grind
coffee. rock the cradle. cnurn the
milk, beat the butter and keep
the baby quiet. He could have
shown, if he would. how to kiss
by electricity. That is, he could
have shown, with a switch prop
erly arranged. how you could
kiss your sweetheart, your wife,
or some other mans wife, in the
dark when any one would swear
it did not happen for the light
was burning all the time.
The light company here will
handle all these accessories all
the time and will be glad to show
you how easy it is to live within
your own means by using these
electrical utensils. They will
soon have continuous current for
domestic use and it will be easy
for you to have a quick lunch al
any time in the day or night ant
you need not worry about tn,
price of coal nor wheter or mo-
the gas 10 working.

After the smoke of the late po-
litical battle has cleared away
and we take inventory of our
forces. and review rhe conduct
of our leaders and fighters, both
old and young. we feel that we
can congratulate Knox County
on the number of her sons who
went into the fray and fought
with manly vigor to restore our
country to the Republican stand.
ard.
Among the many worthy young
men of our county who engaged
in this fight we predict that none
will mount the ladder of fame
quicker or bring more honor to
his native county, than James S.
Golden, son of Capt. Z. B. Golden.
Young Mr.. Golden. who is now
only rs years of age, has already
established himself before the
people of this county as a stall
wart Republican and active work
er, and one of no mean ability in
our late campaign.
Mr.. Golden was born in this
county in 1891, graduated at the
Kentucky University in 1912. and
out of a class of $50 none stood
higher. After completing his
literary course he took a course
in law at the University of Mich
igan, at Ann Arbor, one of the
best law schools in the country.
and by his ability and untiring
efforts completed three year
course in that schoolin two years,
and he is the onl person to accom-
plished tina t in the long life of
the institution.
Keep your eye on this young
man-with his ability and energy
he will be heard from in the great
battle for honors and fame in this
life.

Charley Randalls
Convicted

Last Wednesday morning the
jury in the case of the Common.
wealth against Charley Randalls,
who was on trial for the murder
of Bessie Holt, brought in a yer.
dict of guilty and fixed his pun
ishment at confinement in the
State penitentiary for life.
Mr.. Randalls was represented
by Sawyer A. Smith and r., N.
Jarvis, while the prosecution was
represented by J. B. Snyder and
j. F. Catron.
Messrs. Smith and Jarvis made
a noble fight for their client and
we believe they did all that could
have been done by any one and
much more than could have been
done by many others who prac-
tice law. In fact, there are no
better lawyers to be found than
these two gentlemen, yet the
jury brought in a verdict for will
full murder. 1t is said the case
will go to the Court of Appeals.

Supreme Court of u. S.
Affirms Bid Damage Suit

In June, 1913. Edward Parker,
the son of Nathan Parker, was
killed on his engine in the yards
at Middlesboro while working for
the Louisville & Nashville Rail-
road Company. Soon after his
death Nathan Parker, as admin
istrator of Edward Parker, thru
his attorney, j. M. Robson, filed
suit in the Knox Circuit Court
for damages. The case was tried
before Judge Sampson and YER
dict was awarded the plaintiff for
100000. The railroad company
carried the case to the Court of
Appeals of Kentucky which court
affirmed the judgment of the
Knox Circuit Court. The rail.
road company then appealed the
case to the Supreme Court Of the
United States and few days ago
this court, the highest in the ma
ton, affirmed the judgment of
the Knox Circuit Court and the
Kentucky Court of Appeals.
We understand that this is the
first case that ever went from
the Knox Circuit Court to the
Supreme Court of the United
States. 1t was one of the hard.
est fought cases ever tried in the
state.
The judgment now amounts to
nearly $40. 10000

No Contest

There has been some newspa-
per mention that Judge Robertson,
of Pikeville, would likely contest
the election of Judge Sampson
as Judge of the Kentucky Court
of Appeals from this district.
But, the Advocate is not prepared
to believe this, because it seems
so ridiculous and unreasonable.
In the first place. the only
question which Judge Robertson
could raise is the same one tried
out in the Kirk contest, and the
Court of Appeals affirmed the
judgment of the Circuit Court,
declaring Judge Sampson nomi-
nee of the party. The judgment
in the Knox Circuit Court in that
case is written out in full on the
order books and signed by the
trial Judge, and the Court of
Appeals affirmed this judgment
and so says the opinions in the
books.
In the general election there is
no charge of any wrong doing so
far as Judge Sampson Is concern
ed, and could be none. There is
no claim he did not file a state
ment of expense and there is no
other technical question raised.
He was elected by about seven
teen thousand majority, which is
considerable more majority than
the head of the Republican ticket
received in the same counties,
and the largest majority ever re-
ceived by a Republican in this
distric;. In other words, he ran
ahead of his ticket. He carried
Judge Roberson's county by a
large majority. here is no
doubt that Judge Sampson is the
choice of the people, and we do
not believe any reputable lawyer
who aspires to the Office of Judge
of the Kentucky Court of Appeals
would contest an election upon
such narrow and flimsy grounds.
Our information is that Judge
Robertson is a good lawyer and q
man of good standing in his CON-
munity, and we do not believe
that he can afford to. or that he
will enter a contest in this case
where where he knows it would
be hopeless and where he has
been so overwhelmingly defeated
at the polls. This should not be
done, and we hope it will not be
done.

Dishman Flats Destroyed
by Fire

Last Tuesday about ll:20 the
fire alarm was turned in and it
was found that the old Dishman
Flats were ablaze and that it was
a fight to the finish if the re-
mainder Of the block was saved.
The fire started in the South
west corner of the building and
before the department could get
there the whole house appeared
to be in a flame, but the boys did
their full duty and within an
hour the fire was out.
The Flats were occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. R. M. Stansbury.
They lived in the upper part and
had one of the finest ladies' de-
partment stores in the lower
part anywhere to be found. The
whole stock of goods was lost
and most part of the furniture
was either burned or damaged so
that it is practically worthless.
The damage to the building is
total, as it will have to be re-
moved. Judge Dishman did not
have any insurance on it at all.
The store of Mrs. Stansbury,
which was called ''The Little
Shop" was a total loss. 1t is es-
timated that the total loss is
81, 100000 with 100000 insur-
ance. The household goods,
worth about So, 900. 90 were par
TALLY covered by insurance.
There was quite a lot of other
goods stored in the building and
most part of it was removed, but
it was badly damaged in moving
and by water and smoke.
This was the most dangerous
fire that we have had for many
years and it may be justly said
that it was the young men of the
city who volunteered to fight the
flames that it was put under con-
troll as soon as it was. 1t looked
like the water was in better con-
dition to fight the fire than usual
as there was no lack of pressure,
and the company had a large sup
ply in the reservoir and ready to
turn on the pumps if necessary.
Walter Cody, one of the nozzle
men, was overcome by smoke
and received several bruises, but
soon recovered.

zEBRAS ID PULL, SOME NEW STUFF
 ON l. R. TIGERS
Coach Bassett Puts Team at Work on New Plays for
 Game Saturday.

Every regular went through fast signal practice yesterday, while the thermometer was lowering around 30. The cold weather did not seem to bother the squad and they went through the hour and a half with their hearts fixed on nothing but vic- tory.
 After the drill, Coach Bassett sent them through scrimmage and worked out come, new plays to be used Saturday. The boys are getting them down fast and are showing more speed andGpep than yet shown. By Saturday, when they line up against the Tigers from Little Rock, they will be working like whirl- wind and Little Rock will think a %whirlwind" has struck them. Hens ley and Gould were too sore to go through the scrimmage and the coach pick out the defects. 10 see if they can't improve when they get chance next timo.
 The students are much enthused over the game and they have prom ised to be present in large numbers, and to sing and yell the team to vic- tory. Every indication points to the | largest crowd in years and the tea is putting on extra efforts to be in the best possible condition for the 1 game
 Captain Mcintyre has been suffer- , ing with sore muscle but he says that he is going to give them the best in him. Perduc. the hard hitting,
 speedy little half back is picking up form and if given chance will show
 the Tigers something about broken field running. Big Harper, at tackle is getting down to work and is to be
 watched. This tackle has been one Of the best men at this position this Sea son and his power to open holes is
 not 10 be questioned. Sorrells. on the other side of the line, is tearing ] things up and is getting to be more
 aggressive, and will fight hard all the time. He played big Trotter off his feet in the Little Rock college game
 last week and is anxious to get q
 chance at the Tigers Saturday. Gould,
 the plnnging full back, is suffering
 with a strained knee cap. He will be 1 in good condition Saturday, for tho
 coach is keeping him out of scrim-
 images, so that tho ligamcnt will not
 be torn any moro. Every line man '' hitting the ball hard and all have
 givcu themselves over to harder work
 every day this week.
 The coach will not leave anythi"'
 undone that will get pep and fight ''l 1 the squad. He said fast night thai
 there will be no more scrimmage be- fore the game, as he will devote all
 his time to fast signal work and blocking passes.

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans. Nov. 1i.-Cotton bulged 10 200 pound, distant months, in tue early trading on this market today. Heavy buying vas aroused by the good cables, the cold wave~cnter- ing the belt and bullish American mill consumption figures for October from the census bureau. In tho first half hour of business prices rose 17dp P points, May going to 20c and July to 2O.0Sc, the first time that 20c cot ton was ever recorded on the. local exchange.
 The market was held down to some extent by the British admiralty order withdrawing all British ships from anything but the metal, and grain trades out of United States ports, al though this order apparently was re sponsible for the rise in Liverpool.
 Realizing of profits by satisfied longs held the market within bounds At noon the trading months were Q 13 points over the close; of yesterday At 20. 10c for July bullish traders ap peared to think the advance had gont
