Road Bonds, Says Court
of Appeals.
THE COMMISSION BILL PASSES
The Speaking Campaign To Be
'naugurated On Next

Ira D. Smith and Alvan H. Clark,
who went to Frankfort Wednesday to
look after local bills, lost no time in

ed down decision that majority

sition in an election on a road bond
issue in Kentucky. The telegram al
so stated that the enabling act, per-
hitting the fiscal court Of Christian
county to turn over the good roads
fund to commission, had passed in
the house and would be adopted by
the senate without any opposition.
This clears the way for action in the
good roads campaign. With a bare
majority all that is needed, it is re-
garded as practically assured that the
$500, 900 bond proposition will easily
pass. But lively campaign will be
started next week all the same.
Speakers will be sent out and the
proposition explained wherever it is
not already understood. Some APP
pointments have been made at the
following places:

New York, Feb. l8.-The steam

9OO-foOt pier belonging to the NeV
York Dock Company, at the foot OF

stroyed early Wednesday by the mosE
disastrous fire on the Brooklyn wafer

five scows and lighters were pariGg
or wholly burned and two persons
were missing after the fire. The loss
is estimated approximately at 5000,

The origin of the fire is unknown,

America Will Accept Nothing
Less in Submarine COntrO-
yerSy With Germany.
WANTS FULL ASSURANCE.
German Diplomats Say Ger
many Will Not Modify 0rdeE
as to Armed Ships.

Washington, d. c., Feb. 18.-Thes
United States in its submarine contro-
versy with Germany will accept
nothing short of a full and complete
agreement covering all other points
for which il has commended as 70 as-
surances that the warfare in the flu
ture would be conducted in accord
ance with the established principles
of international law.
In announcing that fact Secretary
Lansing let it be known that the state
department considers Germany's de-
claration of its intention to sink with
out warning after February % all
armed merchant ships of the entente
allies to be inconsistent with the as.
surances previously given this gov
eminent.
The tentative communication de-
signed to end the Lusitania case will
not be formally accepted until such
assurances are given, although the
communication in so far as it relates
to the Lusitania itself, is acceptable
State department officials also con-
slider that the Austro-Hungarian
memorandum regarding armed ships
is not in accordance with the assur-
ances given by that government in
the negotiations over the sinking of
the Ancona. Consequently final set
Element Of the Ancona case probably
will be withheld until Austria gives
similar assurances to those now re-
quired from Germany.
WILL NOT MODIFY ORDER.
1t was stated emphatically in leu
tonic diplomatic circles that the Ber-
lin foreign Office would not modify
the declaration of intention to sink
armed ships or inform the United
States the previous assurances still
were binding unless Great Britain
should give assurances of some kind
that a submarine which warns a
British steamship, armed ostensibly
for defensive purposes, would not be
fired upon.

1t seems to be the deliberate pur-

take up a revenue law at this session,
but leave it FOR an extra session. The

has been incaoable of handling rev.

Control of Merchant Shipping
Is Alleged to Have Been
Badly Handled.
BIG GARRISON AT ERZERUM
petrOgrad Estimates 100000
Formed Defense of City and
Had 1000 Big Guns.

London, Feb. 18.-The govern
ment again found itself on the defen-
sive in the house of commons.
Ascore of members attacked the
governments methods of dealing with
the merchant marine. Arthur j. Bal
four, first lord of the admiralty, and
Walter Runciman, president of the
board of trade, replied to the attacks,
explaining that while the situation
was admitted to be far from satisfac-
tory, the government was doing its
utmost to make things better.
100000 IN ERZERUM GARRISON.
Estimates from Petrograd place the
number of troops in the Turkish gar
rison at Erzemm, the capture of which
has been announced, at 100000 men.
The guns numbered more than 900.
But it has not yet been officially stated
that all of these troops and guns were
taken by the Russians.
That the fighting before the fortress
fell was terrific is indicated by Con-
stantinople report, which, although
not announcing the capture of Erzer-
UNI, says that in the last few days be-
fore the communication was issued
the Russians had lost 5000 men killed.
QUIET ON WESTERN FRONT.
Both Berlin and Paris report that
there have been no important devel-
opments on the battle lines, both in
France and Belgium. On the Russian
front there have been artillery en-
gagements and isolated infantry ac-
tons at various points. In east Cali
cha, hostilities have almost ceased for
the present.
The Italians are still engaged in
shelling the positions taken from them
recently by the Austrians on the Rom
bron sector and also are keeping up
their artillery actions against the
bridgeheads at Tolmino and Gorilla.
An infantry attack against Monte
Michele is reported by Vienna to have
been repulsed.
GERMANY APOLOGIES.
Germany has apologized to the
Dutch government and offered to pay
an indemnity for the torpedoing re-
Gently of the Dutch motor vessel
Artemis.
That one of the Zeppelins in the re-
cent raid on England was damaged by
the British gunfre and later lost at
sea and that there is good reason to
believe another had been damaged
and put out of action, was the state
ment made in the house of lords by
Earl Kitchener, the British war secre
tary.
