THE PROGRESSIVE VOTE.

Col. Roosevelt's letter declin-
ing finally the Progressive nomi-
nation for the Presidency was no
surprise. 1t had been expected.
Everybody knew that the Colo-
nel's candidacy was aimed at the
Republican National Convention
and having found out that the
Republicans will not have him he
is not DESTROYS again of leading
a forlorn hope. 1t would have
been possible for the Colonel to
have polled a million or so votes
as the Progressive nominee, but
there was no possibility of cleo
ton save as the Republican nom-
inee.
What will become of the Pro-
gressive vote is q matter for
speculation. The Courier-Jour-
nal makes note of some evidences
that it will not be deliverable to

In great battle the allied
offensive drove a destructive
wedge in German line on front

here Friday night, and the dis
patches say that after a seven
day bombardment the British
and French armies shattered the
German line along sixteen mile
front. The loss of life was enor-
nous and many prisoners were
taken and also several villages.

Columbus, N. NJ, June a.
American cavalry assisted by

who raided the ranch of William
Parker, near Hachita, killing
the owner and his bride of five
months.
The district being remote no
report reached the commander

WAR SITUATION

Washington, June 28.-An i'm
mediate break between the Unit
ed States and Mexico has been
averted by compliance with the
American demand for the re-
lease of the troopers captured at
Carrizal.
Whether a state of war has
been prevented or merely post.
poned no one here will attempt
to say. Official information as
to the attitude of Carranza is
lacking. Until a reply is receiv'
ed to the note sent Sunday
which made two separate and
distinct demands there will be
no decision as to whether Pres.
ident Wilson will lay the crisis
before Congress.
The Adair County news. [volume] (Columbia, Ky.) 1897-1987, 1916-07-05

News of the release of the
prisoners, received early tonight
in the press dispatches, brought
official here undisguised relief.
1t was accepted as correct al
though no announcement had
come through official channels.
It was assumed that Carranza,
impressed with the urgency of
the situation, had ordered the
cavalrymen started for the bor-
der without waiting for his an
nouncement to reach Washing
ton.
MERELY lessons TENSION.
While it is generally conceded
that this move lessons the ten
sion and makes the crisis less
imminent, no one is losing sight
of the fact that it is Carranza's
attitude toward the American
expedition sent across the border
for the purpose of protecting the
territory and the citizens of the
United States which is governing
the consideration. /
If Carranza stands upon his
orders to Taevino to attack Gen.
Pershing's men when they move
otherwise than toward the bor-
der, the situation actually is just
what it was before, except that
there now is a possibility of d.
plomatic negotiation which did
not exist while the troopers were
held prisoners at Chihuahua.

ELLIOTT GETS
 LIGHT TERM

Nine months was taken off of Jack Elliott's two-year sentence for boot logging yesterday It was brought about in this way: II was made known to the court that though Elliott had foolishly made the mistake of running away before he was sentenced, he had reimbursed the county for the expense that had been incurred in procuring his arrest and return to the state. He now desired to go before the supreme court but he found himself handicapped. His attorneys had had no opportunity to ask for d new trial before sentence was passed upon hlm Indeed, it would have been very embarrassing for them to make such a motion that Saturday morning when it was made known in court that Elliott was a fugitive from justice
 As no such motion had been made it would be impossible to take the evi dence in the case before the supreme court. Accordingly, Judge Stanford set aside the order of sentence and q for maj motion for a new trial was made and denied. The court then taking into account that the state had not been put to any expense by the bad break of Elliott, fixed his term in the county jail at fifteen months. The fine of $500 stands
 The two year sentence was regarded eenerally as n pretty severe one, Per haps not too severe. but rather heavier than IL would have been if Elliott had appeared in court at the time fixed for passing sentence upon him. IL was then believed he would get about one year. Al any rate that is what Elliott thoughtshe would get. Probably if he had surmised that two-year sentence was awaiting him he would have run farther and faster
