We want to call attention of the
road authorities to a danger point
on the Centertown road near the old
Lawrence shop. The very sharp turn
in the public road there is constant
source OF danger to autois,s WHO are
not familiar with It. \ conspicuous
sign should be erected reading Turn.
Ahead" TO warn the u4sus2Ccting
traveller. A Mr.. Randall, of Center
town, was coming into town over that
road Monday night and being unfa-
miliar with the road shot straight
ahead over an emhonl,mcnt fifteen
feet into a pond Of water, and it was
almost miracle that he was not
killed or seriously injured. For
tunately he escaped with slight
bruises to himself and small damage
10 his machine.

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

Perhaps no other public question
more seriously engages the attention
of the newspaper reader than spec
ulative comments upon the probable
duration of the war and the part the
United States may play in its pro-
gress. nor is there any other public
question SO difficult for the newsps-
per writer to ,intelligently treat.
While II is possible the end may
come within a few months. the best
military opinion of both England and
France ia that it will be drawn out
into another year and possibly longer.
II the Central Powers can make their
food supplies hold out till harvest II
is practically certain the war will
run at least into the year of 1918.
Present indications point strongly
toward the collapse OF the Russian
Provisional Government, and the AL
lies have little reason to expect fur
ther assistance from that quarter.
Italy has from the beginning fought
in a half-hearted way and may any
day retire from the war. 1t Is not
improbable that Turkey and Bulgaria
may also quit the game and leave
the bloody conflict to be fought out
between Germany and Austria on the
one side and England and France on
the other, with the United States a
powerful but yet an ineffective ally.
If this condition should develop a
prolonged war is certainty unless
the submarines succeed in cutting off
England's food supplies and forces
her to sue for peace.
In time of censored news dis
patches it is difficult to estimate the
volume of shipping being destroyed
by submarines but it is undoubtedly
great. but information at hand indi-
Gates it is not serious enough to break
down the English fighting machine,
at least during the present year.
Much is being written about new
methods Of combating the subma-
rine, but the weekly toll of ocean YES
sells is still large.
II Russia lies down and Germany
can draw upon the grain fields of the
great Northern empire, then the very
existence of England and France will
depend upon the aid Of the great re-
public OF the West. The mastering
and training Of an army is slow and
tedious process, and the United
States viii not be able to throw an
effective army lnco Europe before the
spring of 1915, but in the meantime
the making o. an army on q gigantic
scale win go on in this country If
the Necessity continues and means
OF transport can be found early in
next year this country will pour into
Europe new and numerous army
that will determine the issue of the
greatest war the world ever saw.
God forbid it be So, bui il looks like
our Nations offended honor must he
avenged at a tremendous cost in
blood and gold.
England, France and America is
the new triple alliance that will re-
draw the maplines OF the earth, but
just when the hour will come and
what the cost in lives and wealth will
be We must leave for the historian
of the future TO record.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1917-05-18

The entry of this government into
the war in Europe is the most serious
venture in our national existence,
and our people must prepare them
selves to make sacrifices never before
lie Blood and tears and gold must
pay the price of the liberty of our
citizens to sail unframed the seas
and trade unhindered in the markets
of the world. The Prussian sword has
been drawn in mad ambition to con-
quer the world, and the American
government should not if it could
shirk its share in defending the lib
critics of mankind.
The Hartford republican. (Hartford, Ky.) 18??-1926, 1917-05-18

The inactivity OF Congress in the
face of a grave national crisis is
worrying the President and the other
officials in immediate charge Of war
preparations. The portent of this at
titude OF Congress is not difficult OF
Interpretation. 1t Is uncertain of JEe
drift of public opinion, There is no
question Of the loyalty OF the coun-
try, but Congress IS uncertain OF the
ways and means proposed, The levy
of tax wholly without a parallel
IN the history of the world and The
soieCtiyc draft system need az least
time for public opinion to deliberate.
There is no use OF trying TO Con3gaI
IL" fact that there is widespread OPP
position 10 both Of these measures as
trey are at present proposed, and the
average congressman is hun'an
enough TO await the word from home,
hCpce the hesitation

In common fairness to an innocent
man We want to advise Republican
readers that Tinsley cannot be held
morally or legally responsible for
anything appearing in this issue of

lick the editor he will have to wait
till Tinsley goes fishing again, and
by that time we hope offenses real
and imaginery will be softened by
time and barred by limitation.
