MISTOOK FOR SQUIRREL
AND KILLED BY HUNTER

Harrodsburg, KY, May 17.-Jesse
Cole, of this county, was accidental
ly killed yesterday by his nephew,
Bert Cash. The two men were out
hunting, neither one being aware
that the other was enjoying the
sport. Cole was hidden in some I'M
derbrush. barking in imitation of a
squirrel, hoping to bring the animals
out. Cash, coming up. heard the
noise and saw the bushes shaking
and fired. supposing it was a SPUR
rel. Mr.. Cole died instantly. The
two men were warm friends.
Mr.. Cash was unable to testify at
the coroner's inquest. The verdict
was that the killing was purely acct
dental. Mr.. Cole was about 35
years old and is survived by wife
and several children.

LONG LAPSE OF MEMORY
Is SUDDENLY RESTORED

Milwaukee, Wis, May 2O.-Like
the mythical tale of Rip Van Wrinkle
is the story told by Samuel Samuels,
of San Francisco, who "awoke'' in
Milwaukee to-day, after his memory
had been dimmed for ten years
through an injury sustained during
the San Francisco earthquake.
Wandering aimlessly, as though
lost, Samuels. who is about 60 years
old, accosted a patrolman at Van
Buren, and Brady streets with the
question, Am | in San Francisco"
When told that he was in Milwau-

ployes by increased wage payments
can be made without detriment to
the business, provided only the
management is actuated by the right
spirit.
Money given to capable employees
is infinitely better invested than
money spent in fighting strikers.
There are some great industrial con-
Germs whose managers have learned
many other things but apparently
never learned this.
While urging employers to make
an honest effort to pay as
high a wage as justic and the ledger
will permit, the public will not fail
to urge employees that 1t is just as
necessary that they, too, act with
reason and moderation and that for
the ultimate good of their cause
they make short work of the hot
heads who by resortng to violence,

STARVING PEOPLE ARE
FORCED TO EAT GRASS

New York, May 1S.-Suffering
among Armenians in Turkey, Persia
and Syria is still intense and they
are dying by hundreds for want of
food, and are in urgent need of aid,
says a cablegram from Constantine
pie made public by the American
committee for Armenian and Syrian
relief. The request for aid, sent by
representatives of the committee in
Turkey through the Department of
State. says a minimum of $52,S00 a
month is needed for relief in Turkey
alone.
Conditions in many quarters, says
the message, are so distressing that
the Armenians are forced to eat
grass; and yet despite these condi-
tons they continue to stick fast to
their Christian faith. although a
change to Mohammedanism would
quickly relieve their plight.
The number of non-combatants af-
fected is one million. In making an
appeal for aid the committee says it
now has reliable facilities for feed
ing the needy through American
consuls and missionaries.
The cablegram includes detailed
pictures of the places where the suf-
fering is keenest and especially COM
pliments the sufferers for their for
titude in standing by their faith in
spite of inducements made them to
abandon it.

MEN WHO ARE TARRED
WITH THE SAME BRUSH

Farmer and editor have twin jobs.
They work with the same materials.
Politics. crops, markets, railroads,
finance, real estate, science, medi-
cine, and to-morrow's weather are a
part of their stock in trade.
They direct the national policies
by moulding public opinion-the ed
itor from his desk, the farmer from
the general store where he discusses
the government. And Congress
fears them both. 1t harks to the
press with one ear and keeps the
other close to the ground to hear
what the farmer is saying.
The farmer reads the news that
the editor gathers and the editor
bases this news on conditions the
farmer creates. Each is the other
ones star reporter-and each is the
shrewdest reader in the United
States-barring the other.-[Farm

POPULATION Of
UNITED STATES
Contains Germans To
Number Of 2,6O3,776.
THESE FIGURES INTERESTING
Larger Part or This Population
Removed From FatherIand
Several Generations.
HAVE GROWN WITH COUNTRY

Figures concerning the German
population of the United States al
the present time which have just
been assembled by the United States
Census Bureau are exceedingly in
teresting and timely. The Census
Bureau has combined its figures
gathered in the 1910 census with
the reports of the immigration Blu
reau for the years since then to
show that there are a total Of e.
6O3,776 persons of German birth in
this country.
These figures are surprising be-
cause they are so small, but when
one examines into the immigration
figures for the last few decades it is
clearly evident that the number of
persons of German birth could not
be much above that tlgure in view
of the proportionately small German
immigration since the beginning of
Germany's Intensified industrial de-
velopment and her careful and wise
provisions to make life in the faith
erland as attractive to her people as
in the lands oversee.
The figures for German immigra-
ton during 1911, 1912, 1913 and
1914 are significant. They show
24,7S1 in 1911, 2O,O31 in 1919,
29,145 in 1918, and 2S,4OS in 1914.
Since August, 1911, there have been
very few Germans admitted to this
country-not because they wouldn't
be admitted if they came, but be-
cause they didn't come. The begin
ming of the war ended immigration
of course.
The population in this country
whose ancestors were of German Or
igin is, of course, very much greater
than those of German birth. The
Census Bureau estimates the num-
Der at S.2S2,61S, and shows that

STAYS WIFE WHILE IN
PRESENCE OF DAUGHTER

Cincinnati, o., May 19.-In the
presence of his 12-year-old daugh-
ter, Lillian, Henry Warneke, 4S
years old, shot and killed his wife,
Mrs. Philomena Warneke, 46, and
then killed himself.
Had Mrs. Warneke followed the
advice of Probate Judge Luders she
probably would still be alive.
When Mrs. Warneke was killed
she was preparing to attend a trial
in Probate Court on charge of
lunacy. The charge was lodged by
her husband Wednesday, though
neighbors and the police say Mrs.
Warneke was rational
Mrs. Warneke said to the officer
who served the lunacy writ: ut is

VINCE QUESTION FROM A
~ REASONABLE STANDPOINT

There has never been a period
in the country's history when great
er forbea-anoe and sound sense were
requisite in the treatment of labor
disputes than now. In all parts of
the country labor is showing a dis
position to demand its share

,peen so suddenly and Unexpectedly
,pEeduced on this side of the Atlantic
by the European war And il employ
ers are wise they will promptly and
ungrudgingly concede their employ
as as great a share of the benefits of
improved conditions as is possible.
IT hardly requires to be said that
not every business or industry has
been reaping the almost fabulous
profits OF those engaged In muni-
tion manufacture. But the general
proposition is nevertheless true that

businesses have SO largely Increased

States of New York, Illinois, Wis
consin, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Michi-
gan, New Jersey, Minnesota, Ohio
and Missouri. The greatest proper
tionate population of those of Ger
man ancestry is found in the Middle
Atlantic States, where in 1910 they
constituted Ills per cent. Of the
total population. Throughout the
whole country those of German an
cestry formed per cent of the pop
ulation.
On account of the great war, and
because of our many troubles with
Germany since its inception the mat
ter has been a subject of grave and
somewhat overponderous discussion
in august and learned bodies, which
have failed mostly to reckon with
the fact that the population of Ger
man ancestry in this country Is so
large 1t constitutes nearly one-tenth
of the entire population. 1t also has
failed to reckon with the fact, and
fact 1t Is, that the larger part of this
population of German ancestry is re-
moved from the fatherland by two
or even three or four generations
that some of the oldest families in
this country are German in their or
igin and have been enrolled in the
records of the nation for honorable
service during all the years of its
existence.=[ PHILADELPHIA Press.

GERMAN CITIZENS
MUST OBEY LAWS
OF United States, Says
Berlin Order.
ASKS A STRICT OBSERVANCE
Effort Made to End Various AL.
legged Violations of Amer.
lean Neutrality.
A WARNING SENT TO CONSULS

Washington, May 1S.-Germany,
instructed all German consuls in the
United States to admonish German
citizens in their districts to scrupu-
lousy observe American laws. This
was done in an effort to end various
alleged violations of American neu-
trality.
The Ambassador acted on instruc-
tions from the Berlin Foreign Office.
The action was announced to-day in
this official statement from the Ger
man embassy:
In consequence of cases which
have occurred of late the German
ambassador has sent instructions to
all German consuls in the United
States to strongly impress upon Ger
man citizens living in their districts
that it is their duty scrupulously to
obey the laws of the State in which
they reside"
1t was said at the German embas-
sy that the instructions were design
ed to prevent plots or lawlessness on
the part of German citizens who
might be disposed to engage in such.
The German government, it was
said, looks with great disfavor upon
any such conduct, and desires that
they shall not engage in any under
taking in any way outside the law.
1t was not disclosed whether spe-
citic cases have been brought to the
attention of the German govern
ment, but il was made clear that
Berlin officials want the United
States and it's people to understand
that they have not countenanced
any illegal affairs with which Ger
man citizens or sympathizers in this
country have been connected.
Count Won Bernstorff's instruc-
tions were received last night and
were forwarded to German consuls
Immediately.
Administration officials were much
interested in the statement issued
by Count Won Bernstorff and ex-
pressed themselves as much pleased.
1t was said the instructions to
German consuls were not the result
of any action by the United States.
officials thought the step might do
much to relieve troublesome condi-
tions which have manifested them
selves almost since the beginning of
the war.

eign Office learns that public opin-

Among Republicans To
Ascertain Views
FOR OR AGAINST ROOSEVELT
Rough Rider Is Favored By 81
Per Cents Oppose His
Nomination.
SOME WOULD BOLT HIM FLATLY


of Thursday says:
The following conclusions are
based on a straw vote of Kentucky
Republicans, carefully conducted by
the Courier-Journal through its
corps of correspondents in the State:
Sixty-three per cent. of the Re-
publicans of Kentucky are opposed
to the nomination of Col. Roosevelt
for President, but only is per cent.
of them will not vote for the. man
who disrupted their party in 1912
in the event he is nominated. Eight
per cent. of the Republicans of the
State will vote for Woodrow Wilson,
should Roosevelt receive the Repub-
Iican nomination and President Will
son be nominated at the hands of
the Democrats. Thirty-seven per
cent. of Kentucky Republicans favor
the nomination, of Col. Roosevelt.
After deciding to test the sentf-
Inents of Kentucky Republicans On
the Roosevelt proposition the Cour-
Ier-Journal communicated with each
OF its county-seat correspondents,
sending each twenty ballots and in
sstructing him to distribute them
among the town and county Repub-
iicans, taking in all factions and Civ
ing 10 no particular group the ad-
vantage of doing all the voting.
Returns were made by all but
eight of the 100 correspondents, the
missing counties being Bell, Bullitt,
Harrison, Knott, Livingston, Martin,
SPENCER and Trigg. AS a result O.
240 Republicans were heard from,
and of this number S25, or 81 per
cent. expressed a preference for Col.
Roosevelt; 1,415, or SO per cent,
indicated their opposition to the Col
aonel; 1,S2S, or SO per cent, said
they would vote for Roosevelt in the
event he is nominated; 412, or Is
per cent, said they would not vote
for him under any circumstances;
176, or s per cent, indicated that
they would vote for President Will
son should Roosevelt receive the Re-
publican nomination.
Various reasons were given by
those opposing the nomination of
Roosevelt, the chief one being that
no recognition should be given a
man who did his best to wreck the
party in 1912. Another reason was
that the nomination of Roosevelt by
the Republicans, followed by his
election in November, might be ia
ken by the hot-blooded youth of the
country as an indication that ma
jority of Americans are eager for
war with Germany.
On one of the many ballots receiv-
ed from out in the State was writ
ten: Afraid of the Big Stick" Yet
this Republican indicated that in
the event Roosevelt is nominated by
the Republicans he would vote for
him.
Returns from twenty-six of the
ZIP counties heard from showed a
majority each for Roosevelt. These
are Boyd, Boyle, Breathitt, Gallo
way, Fayette, Fulton, Garrard, Hen
derson. Hickman, Hopkins. Jackson,
Laurel, Leslie, Letcher, Logan, Nc
Cracker, Mercer, McCreary, Monroe.
Nelson, Oldham, Pendleton. Powell,
Rockcastle, Scott and Woodford. In
Hickman county all but one of the
twenty Republicans interviewed ex-
pressed a preference for the Colo
mel In nine counties the vote for
and against Roosevelt was equally
divided.
