The visit to his home district of Con.
gresham Joe" Fordney has of course
been the signal for the reiteration OF
the honors that genial standpatter has
achieved in our national affairs. Every
Eighth District Republican is looking
forward with equal expectancy to the
occupancy of the white house by Re
publican president and the occupancy
of the seat at the head of the ways and
means committee table by "our joe"
The fact that the next administration
is likely to have hand in the settle
ment of the peace of the world, If not
forestalled. means nothing in the
Eighth district alongside of the fact
that Joe Fordney is likely to have some
thing to do with the drafting of the
new tariff laws. Even the actual iden-
tity of the man the Eighth district Re-
publicans expect to see elected president
is by no means 80 important as the
identity Of the next Republican chair
man of the ways and means committee,
for that is settled, the Lord and the
Eighth district willing.
But while we smile at the enthusiasm
over in the Eighth for Joe Fordney we
must also admit that the Eighth dis.
trict and Joe Fordney together furnish.
as one of the speakers at the banquet
at st Johns declared, one of the finest
possible illustrations for the greatness
Of these United States-the opportunity
which is offered to brains and ability
to get ahead regardless of environment
and education.
Joe Fordney started out in life as
cook in lumber camp. What edu.
cation he has ne gave himself What
success he had he made for himself.
With no capital but his own pluck and
brains he has literally fought his way
through to place tnat is mighty near
the top. From cook in lumber camp
to position Of undisputed authority
on national legislation-s position of
acknowledged leadership in economics,
is great climb but Joe Fordney has
made 1t.
Great credit is due to a man who
can make that advance unaided, and
the people of the Eighth district are
not to be criticized for their enthusiasm
over Joe Fordney. But great as may
be the man greater is the country where
such things not only can be done, but
are done almost every day, in greater
or lesser degree.
In the careers of men like Joe Ford

about the greatness Of the United

DEATH OF MRS.
JAS. D. HILL
One OF Hopkinsville's Best
Known Women Pass
es Away.

Mrs. Helen Hill, wife of James D.
Hill, died Saturday afternoon OF pneu-
monia, after a weeks illness. Mrs.
Hill was one of Hopkinsville's promi-
nent and widelyknown residents. The
family came here from Webster
county about 25 years ago and while
Mr.. Hill worked at his trade of a
brick mason, Mrs. Hill opened a
boarding house, serving meals at
the popular price of % cents. Her
business prospered and year by year
she bought property and enlarged the
business, always adhering TO the
price Of 81 a day. For many years
she has run a regular hotel known as
the Hill House, occupying four for
mer residences adjacent to each other
near the L. & N. depot on Ninth
stEa-, The fame of her fare was
XII n far and wide and many travel
I'M en- were her regular patrons.
She served meals from 5 a. m. till
late at night, accommodating the
hours to the train arrivals and depart
ures. She was a woman of wonder
full energy, strong will and a COM
mand OF language that met all emarg-
ences. She gave her personal atten-
ton to every detail of her business
from serving the meals to collecting
the bills. Her unerring judgment
and business sagacity seldom allowed
her to be imposed upon and she did a
cash business with hardly ever a bad
debt. She bought her own supplies,
selecting her meats, vegetables, etc.
with an iron-clad rule to have none
but the best always paying spot cash.
Her hotel was great stopping place
for railroad men and many country
people were her regular patrons,
She will be greatly missed.
She leaves a handsome estate anc
is survived by her husband and two
daughters, Mrs. N. S. West, who as
sisted her in her business, and Mrs
Maggie Jenkins, of Texas. She was

French Capture German
Positions.
TRENCHES CHANGE HANDS
Artillery Duels on all Of the
Fronts---Russians Get
Set Back.

London, April "a. Battles of heavy
proportions have been in progress in
all the war theaters except the Bal
kans. Successes for the entente al
lies and the Teutonic allies have
varied. Four vessels-an Italian
steamer a French bark and two
British steamers-are reported to
have been sunk by submarines. All
their crews are believed TO have been
saved.
On the Verdun front, where for
two months the Germans and French
have been almost continuously in bat
tie, the Germans, according to an es-
innate of the French war office, I'D to
April % had used thirty divisions, or
about 6OO,O men, in the fighting or
in reinforcing units, which suffered
heavy losses.
The Germans claim the capture of
French trenches in the Verdun region
southeast Of Haucourt and west of
Dead Mans Hill, while Paris records
the taking of several German posts in

Carranza Must First Show
Ability to Crush Villistas
and Protect the Border.
WILL REDISPOSE FORCES
Gen. Funston Will Group U.
S. Soldiers to Better Pro-
tect Them and Boundary.

washington, April Z4.-Benlnd tne
formal announcement that President
Wilson had approved a plan for re-
disposition of the American troops in
Mexico, there was a plain intimation
that the Washington government had
determined to maintain military
status quo beyond the border until
the Mexican de facto government has
demonstrated its ability to capture or
crush Villa and his adherents and pre-
vent repetitions of the Columbus raid.
In the interim, it is understood, the
American troops will be so placed as
to safeguard the border towns by vir-
tually policing the area south of the
line, where Gen. Carranza has been
heretofore unable to check bandit OPP
erations.
Secretary Baker announced the adj
ministration's decision as follows:
"Gen. Funston has recommended
a redisposition OF the forces in, Mexico
for the purpose of recuperation and
pending opportunities for further CO.
operation with the forces of the de
facto government of Mexico.
The recommendation has been APP
lproved and its execution left to his
discretion"
INDICATES NO WITHDRAWAL.
Later the secretary dictated the fol
lowing:
'The statement have made indi
Gates nothing whatever on the subiec
of when the American troops will be
Withdrawn from Mexico. The whole
subject of withdrawal of the forces is
under arrangements and negotiations
by the state department"
PROTECTION TO AMERICANS,
The new military plan leaves the
pursuit of Villa at a standstill, but
frees Gen. Funston's hands to make
the position of the forces in Mexico
Isecure by grouping them in posts Of
such strengthens to protect them from
attack by irresponsible elements Of
the de facto governments forces. i
will also serve as a plain warning tC
Gen. Carranza that he must bend ev
cry effort toward securing complete
control of the territory south OF th'
most southerly advance of the Ameri
cans.in order to have the troops re
called. II is possible that, to avoiC
the possibility of clashes such as tina
at Parral, the new American base
, will be established at points some
what north of the present most ad
vanced position. There is little ind
cation of anti-American feeling, il ha
) been reported, in territory now with
in the spread of the American lines
Practically all of President Wilson
/ closest advisers have urged that tn
, troops be kept in Mexico, at leas
until there are reasonable ground
for believing that there will be n
more uprisings along the border.
