WAR TO END IN 1917
Won Hindenburg Declares Spirit OF
Troops Counts More than Shells

Paris, Oct, 31-Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg believes the war will END
in 1917.
The new chief of the German gen
eral staff made this prediction in an
interview with the correspondent OF
the Vienna Neue Freie Press &C
cording to dispatches received here
today.
an war" said he, cit is a thank
less task to attempt to prophecy
events. But it is possible that 1917
will bring the final decisive battles"
81 do not really know, of course"
continued the field marshal, "but as
far as we are concerned, we shall
certainly continue the war until a
decision has been achieved"
Gen. Ludendorff Hindenburg's
"right hand man." and quartermas,
ter general, interjected:
eve do not expect peace. We are
absolutely decided to continue the
war. That is quite evident from the
measures taken by Germany"
The interview suggested that "the
people want peace.
"We all want peace" was linden
Iburg's response. "The Austro-Hun
garian people have completely fulfill
ed their duty. The only way of OBJ
tanning peace is to wage war.
"Shells aren't everything" he con,
tinued eft is the soul Of the soldiers
that gives the decision in battle.

Grived because people no longer
laughed at the antics which one time
amused the crown heads Of Europe,
Adolph Koppel, 70, who half a cen

cago. His body was found early yes
terday. He had torn the chandelier
from the ceiling and the flow of gas
had asphyxiated him. "I'm too old
to be funny any more" Koppel had
told his friends. He was about IS
years old.
When asked to comment during an
interview on reports of an attempt
to kill the Queen of Roumania, to
whom is attributed largely respon-
sibility for Roumania's partlclPa-
ton in the war, Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg shook his head and in
terrupted: attempts of this KIND
always must be condemned, especial
" in this case, where lady is in
question" This was the first news
received in this country concerning
a reported attempt to assassinate
the Queen of Roumania.

per cent since October, 1915. Deal
ers predict that eggs will be selling

winter and perhaps higher. The al
most unprecedented price OF eggs is
not due to their scarcity, but reflects
the increased cost of keeping chick,

Well! Well! Well!

We was most sure that we
would have no stir in the race for
Congress, but 10 and behold here
comes, one J. B. McKeehan, of
Williamsburg, who has come to
lead us from darkness unto light,
and to bring us unto ourselves by
voting for him against Caleb
Powers. We do not know any,
thing about the strength of Mr..
McKeehan, but we do know
something about the strength of
Mr.. Powers, and we do not be-
lieve that there is a man any
where who could come in gun
shot of Powers. We have made
a general survey of all the Dis
trict to find a man that could
even trouble Powers, and after
the whole summing up of the
matter we find that there is none
among US that will go out
against this Political Giant.
Powers is stronger today than
he ever was heretofore. The
Democrats in this District, and
even in the whole State would be
glad to get Powers out of the
way, they want him out of the
Eleventh district all together,
they showed this by their actions
in the last Legislature when they
tried to jerrymander him out of
the Eleventh into the Tenth Dis
trict.
Every move made against
Powers makes him stronger,
every knock is boost-Oh heck
what's the use.

Ask Yourself another question

ASK yourself another question.
Suppose that the bridge across
Cumberland River near Flat Lick
costs $l1, 500 OU. and there is no
one to accommodate by this expen-
dature. except Judge Asher of
Bell County. his brother in law
and his sons wife. and her broth
er-in-law by building this bridge,
when the road can he and will
be built on this side of the river,
completed for the said sum of
SIT. 500. 90, and beside saving the
cost that it would take to build
the road beside the bridge. and
accommodate some seventy to
one hundred citizens and tax
payers who worked and voted
for the pike when the question
was before the people. What
would you do? What will the
Fiscal Court do? We hope that
our contentious will hold good
that our Fiscal Court will show
to the world that they are men
of brain and will power, and
that they will not make the mis-
take that some others have
made, that they will build the
main trunk line from the Bell
County line to Corbin, and that
they will do it right now. The
whole Country has it's eyes on
our Fiscal Court, if they do not
act at once we lose the Dixie
Highway, Whitley County Ken
lucky and Campbell County Ten
nessee are doing their best to
beat us to it, will we let them do
it? We hope not, and it is our
proudest hope that when the
Fiscal Court meets here next
Saturday, that they will settle
these routes, contract them and
let the work begin on the entire
line.

What Have You To Say

We put the question right up
to you Mr.. Citizen and tax payer.
What do you say about the way
the pike should be built to the
Bell County line? We give you
below the figures that have been
given US by the chief Engineer,
as follows
Length Of road from Barbour
vile to Lee Coles via. Artemus
is rs miles; by the Fighting
Creek rout it is 50 miles.
The cost to grade the Artemus
route, to Artemus is $4,000, a
distance Of three miles, the cost
of grading from Barbourville to
to the Yeager school house dis
lance of 3 IA miles is $1,000. 90.
The total cost from Barbour
vile, by the Fighting Creek route
including metal and bridges all
complete to Lee Coles, is $685.
O92. 90, by the Artemus route, to
Lee Coles is SIT, 1880. this is
for the work complete. Over the
Fighting Creek route we have
the depth under high water when
at its greatest is ) feet; over the
Artemus route, it is 10 feet at its
deepest.
Over the Artemus route there
is 500 feet of the road that is
overhown by the high tides over
the Fighting Creek route. there
is 200 feet overfiown by water
at high tide. Study these figures
and say what you would do if you
were one of the members of the
Fiscal Court Of Knox County.
