United States Senator Chamberlain has pre-
pared a bill for the establishment of universal
military service in this nation. 1t is not unlikely
that our country will have universal service
within a few years, considering lessons learned
from the European war, from our own experience
in various wars and from the widespread feeling
that the United States should have systematic
preparedness. If universal service comes. the
plan of work probably will be evolved from the
Swiss Australian and French systems.

They come to understand
one another's feelings, TO
know the qualities of one an
others manhood, and to have
common patriotism among
them. This has meant much
to the French republic. In
no other great army in the
world is there such a spirit
of comradeship as between
officers and men of the
French establishment. One
might expect that record to
be held by the United States.
But it isn't; our regular
army is patterned after the
British system, which Is
an aristocratic system.

Gossip of Society Folk.

The number of American girls to
marry Italian titles will pass the round
dozen when the engagement Of Miss
Margaret Preston Draper to Prince
Andrea Boncompagne of Rome. which
was announced during the past week,
is consummated.
This marriage will add another name
to the list of almost 500 Americans who
have becomes wives of foreign noble
men. besides those who have married
into royalty, and others who have
sought husbands among the smaller fry
bordering onto nobility.
The United States has given two vice.
reines to India In Lady Curzon, the
Washington. and the clever Mrs. Lewis
Vernon Harcourt, nee Burns. niece of
the late ]. Pierpont Morgan. There are
| included in the noble 500 about forty
princesses, eight duchesses. seventy
| five baronesses, forty countesses, eight
cen marquises. eighteen American Wis
| countesses, eighty-two American wives
| OF baronets and more than 200 Ameri-
can women who have wed knights,
| chevaliers and younger sons.
Good red American blood circulates
\ in the veins of the scions of some of
the oldest and proudest houses of Italy
now on the battlefelds of Europe in
| defense of the adopted country of a
maternal ancestor. Crisp American
| greenback cks have helped to restore an
cestral estates and ducal palaces and
| to keep the art treasures where they
| have been for centuries, and while
| these same greenbacks have entered
perhaps too largely into the marriage
| contracts. there have been notable love
| matches and wealth on both sides, as
| in the case of Miss Draper and Prince
| Andrea.
| The friendship began with Miss
| Drapers childhood days in Rome and
vas renewed when her father was
| American ambassador to Italy. She is
| of distinguished ancestry. and. through
| the Prestons of Kentucky and the
| Drapers of New England. descended

HOTELS THAT MADE

Still Maintain Their Popularity And Rates
That Are Reasonable.

Beginning with this issue of the Cen
trial Record and continuing for several
months. We will carry the advertise.
ment of two of Louisville's famous
hotels The Old Inn and the Louisville
Hotel.
The Louisville Hotel is the only hotel
in Louisville which is still. operating
on the American Plan. While guests
can stop at the Louisville hotel on
either the American Or the European
plan. the American plan is the feature
and they undoubtedly set the best
American-plan table on this side of the
Ohio river.
The Old Inn is known to almost
everyone. especially to Kentucky
politicians, and the cafe at the Old Inn
is unquestionably the best eating place
in Louisville. Any one wanting a real
good steak or fresh sea food of any
kind should visit the Old Inn Cafe
Both hotels have not and cold running
water and telephone in every room,
and any one stopping at either of the
hotels ia assured of the very best Of
