EXTRAORDINARY
SITUATION
Calls Forth the Following
Statement to Newspaper
Readers.

To newspaper readers of Kentucky:
The Executive Committee of the
Kentucky Press Association wishes to
bring to the attention of the newspa-
per readers and the friends of the
press, the serious situation confront
ing the publishers at this time, and
point out some facts which we feel
should be communicated to you in
our attempt to meet conditions recent
ly thrust upon us. We do this after
much thought on the matter, feeling
that we are acting for the good OF
both publisher and reader. Doubt
less you have been, or will be, called
upon to pay few cents more on
your job work, and in some instances
more for your paper and advertising
in cases where subscriptions and adj
vertising rates have been at the mini
mum.
In the interest of a free press we
ask you to meet the advance cheer
fully.
There may be ample excuse, slight
excuse or no excuse to advance the
prices on us as they have been adj
vanced, but the fact remains that we
are paying from so to 500 per cent
more for our paper stock, inks, oils,
gasoline, metal, etc., than we did
eight months ago.
Paper makers insist that there must
be cutting down in the demand up
on them; that they are working three
shifts day, and at this season of the
year when they should be accumulat-
ing reserve stock, they cannot sup
ply the demand. Large publishers
everywhere are trying to meet the
suggestion Of the paper makers by the
strictest economy, in which they are
cutting down the size of paper mar
gins and granting no return of unsold
papers. Small publishers have slight
opportunity to economic in this man.
ner. The Federal Trade Commission
is deeply concerned and alarmed but
so far seem powerless to suggest
feasible or adequate relief methods.
Under existing circumstances few
newspapers can continue long with
out readiustment. Hundreds of the
weaker ones have already gone under
and many more are about to suspend.
There is a remedy and it lies in the
strictest economy, advancement of
rates on job work, advertising and
subscriptions. II matters not how
reluctant publishers are to do this, it
will have to be done if they continue
in business, and continue to be USE
full to their readers and patrons.
In conclusion, we call on persons
who believe in the mission of free
press to cooperate with us in adjust
ing our business to these new and
unheard of conditions.
THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE,
OF the Kentucky Press Association.
P. S. Since the above statement
was prepared we note that number
/
of press associations have prepared
similar statements to the public.

Austro-German Offensive in
GaIicia Nets Trenches on
Front of Over Mile.

London, Oct. 18. -Volhynia, Galicia
and Pennsylvania are still the points
where the heaviest fighting is taking
place. Along the Somme front in
France, bombardments alone have
prevailed, except to the east of Bel
lOy-en-Santerre, where the Germans
threw two attacks against the French,
only to be repulsed.
In Macedonia, the hostilities have
been confined mainly to patrol engage
ments and artillery duels. Bad wealth
err has set in throughout the Austro-
Italian theater and with snow in the
mountains and rain in the valley, little
fighting of moment has taken plas.
Continuing their offensive in GMi-
cha, the o-Germans according to
both Berlin and Vienna, have taken
trenches over front of Il miles from
the Russians and made prisoner thirty
officers and 1900 men. West of
Lutsk, in Volhynia, the Russians at
tackled violently many times, but ac.
cording to Vienna, were everywhere
repulsed with great losses. In the
southern Carpathians, near Dorna-
watra, additional heights have been
taken from the Russians by the leu
tonic allies.
In Transy lvania the Rumanians
fighting near the border passes con-

In the Uzul valley, they have driven

alton has arisen in Athens. Great
crowds of rOyalists have paraded the
streets of the Greek capital cheering
the king and cordons of Greek troops
and marines have been thrown about
the railroad stations, city hall and
other points occupied by the entente
forces to prevent clashes between
them and the royalists. An unofficial
dispatch says Admiral Du Fournet
was Missed by the throngs in the
streets of Athens and that a detach-
ment of French sailors was driven
back by the hostile crowd.
King Constantine in a speech to the
officers of his fleet told them he would
stand by them, no matter what con-
sequences might follow their loyalty

Vice Admiral FOurnet, commander
of the Anglo-French fleet in the Med
iterranean has handed the Greek

tremely grave character, says a dis
patch to the Exchange Telegraph
from Athens, dated Monday.
Following the presentation Of the note
King Constantine, il is added, came
to the capital in haste from the royal
residence at Tatoi. An urgent cabi-
net council has been summoned.
The entente allies have taken over
the Greek battleships Kilgis, formerly

correspondent,
Allied crews were put on board the

MANS CALAMITY.

The news of the great storm on Maui and
the loss of ten or more lives is all the more
shocking BECAUSE it is unprecedented The
islands have seen some severe transforms IN
recent history, but nothing approaching this
in cost of life or property.
Yet even though the storm has Torn and
shattered the Valley Isle, swept away houses
crops and stores, sundered families and brought
sorrow not to one but to every community in
the territory, Maui is giving a splendid exam
pie of courage and ability to meet disaster.
Returning travellers say that in the face of com
mon misfortune, the people are working to-
gether with inspiring unanimity. The county
officials not less than the heads Of private bust
nesses are given credit for taking the chaotic
situation in hand and doing all that can be
done to succor the perishing and relieve the
destitute.
The whole territory must grieye with Maui
over this calamitous loss of life. No foresight
could have averted the blow, and there is only
regret that it could not But at least the I'M
avoidable and terrible event has proved again
that in the face of emergency the communities
of Hawaii can get together and pull through
somehow, and in the pulling develop latent
qualities of strength, energy and unity.

EDITOR
BRITISH FAILURE,

1t is no exaggeration to say that the British
laundering in the Balkans, taken in connection
with their mistakes in the western field, has
severely taxed French and Russian patience.
Thos who have recently returned from Paris
report marked dissatisfaction with British
methods and disappointment over British
failure unequalled since the war began. The
Balkan episode has only served to accentuate
the feeling stirred by similar British failures
at Neuve Chapele, at Festubert, at Loos. 1t is
possible to exaggerate the meaning Of this
feeling. France recognizes that she must pre-
serve her alliance and appreciates the value of
the British feet But the sentimental enthus-
iasm of year ago has disappeared. 1t will
hardly return unless British high command
shall soon give evidence of capacity not vet
even vaguely foreshadowed.- Review of Re

A NAVAL ACADEMY FOR HAWAII.

There are slim chances that Honolulu can
prevail on Congress to establish a naval acad-
envy here. But it will do no harm for the
Chamber of Commerce to ask for it. Such a
move, if properly handled, would be good pub
lefty for the islands, and it would show the
interest of the territory in preparedness pre-
paredness being now the popular thing.
With the big Pearl Harbor naval station COM
pleted, Hawaii can furnish better facilities for
such an academy, in many ways, than San
Francisco. The disadvantages, of course, are
somewhat numerous, chief among them beng
Hawaii's comparative isolation from the main
land, But we can show that we have enough
belief in Honolulu and the islands surrounding
to ask Congress, through Delegate Kuhio, for
the naval academy here, and though most of
the congressman may not treat us seriously,
they will think none the worse of the territory
for asking. Congress is so used to being asked
for various things, that the state or The man
that doesn't ask for something is considered a
dead one

When Warden Osborne of Sing Sing prison,
New York, was indicted it was the comment
of this paper that bunch of Westminster
county politicians had been after him for a
long time. An editorial in the New York
World which has reached here confirms the po-
litical phase of the indictment with the follow
ing: lone of Mr.. Osborne's predecessors in
the management of Sing Sing once told The
World that no man could long hold the office
of warden unless he allowed the Westchester
county political ring to run the prison for its
own profit. He may have been wrong, but
there will be general disposition to believe
that he was right until conclusive evidence is
produced in open court to prove that Thomas
