Washington. July 17-Uncertainty
as to Greece's status in the world
war was cleared away with the re-
ceipt of official information that the
Greek government not only has sew
cred relations with all four of the CEN
tral powers, but is actually in state
of war with them.
Information has reached the State
Department that the Greek minister
in Paris has notified the French gov
ernment Greece considers herself a
full belligerent and will act accord
iDgly.
He said it was not necessary to is
sue a formal declaration of war, as
the government feels it is bound by
the declarations previously issued at
Saloniki by Premier Venizelos, who
took with him to Athens all the re-
sponsibilities and commitments of the
temporary Saloniki government.
AS belligerent, Greece is expected
to lose no time in mobilizing her war
resources and joining effectively in
the common allied operations in the
Balkans. The strength of the Venize-
los army is placed at about 10000 men
and the remnants of the former regu-
lar army, while not over 10000 now,
has at times been mobiliZed to to-
tai of 100000 and is capable of reach.

What Should Be a Legal
Fence.

A reader asked us some time ago to
outline what we thought would be a
Just and fair fence law. After think
ing the matter over some months we
have come back to the same idea with
which we started. The illegal fence"
should be the fence that would keep
stock at home. In other words, every
man should be responsible for any
damage done by his live stock II the e
animals are allowed to 90 outside his
own fields" If it takes stone wall or
a-log pen to keep certain animal at
home that should be the only legal
fence for that animal. Southern Ag-

Washington, Aug. 3.-Drastic deal

bill agreed on by the House lmmi-
grafton Committee. and slated for
pushing in the House.
Alien slackers who do not wish to
take military service in the American
forces would be deported; the entry
of others to the country would be
prohibited. Any person who claims
exemption from military duty on the
ground that he is alien never could
become natural citizen.
Aliens of any class could be drafted
for work on farms, in industrial plants
and for other home duty.

It's far cry from the days when
wells of "Hey, Reub!" on a circus

performers for a elena battle

In the old days when the executives

great was the carnage in plaid vests,
celluloid collars and pop bottle "dia-
monds." Now a fight on the circus
lot is no more likely than a fight at a
chautauqua. A battery of typewrit-

FARMERS ATTENTION.

Since the Inauguration of the Good
Roads" movement in Kentucky and
the construction of many miles of the
best roads found in America, this
State has been quite haven for tour
lists, coming from almost every State
in the Union, and since many of our
farmers have failed to recognize and
grasp the benefits derived through
the medium, of publicity-in placing
their names on gates and entrances to
their farms-I am calling on land
owners in every county in this Com.
monwealth to please have a board OF
sign painted, giving the name of the
owner OF each farm, also the name oil
fiI m, If lime ears such, and post in
a con 'picuous place, on the gate OF
post at the entrance to the farm. THIS
will require but little effort and ex,
pense upon the part of each land
owner and the benefits derived
through such simple and inexpensive
methods of publicity cannot be over
estimated.

WAR STATISTICS.

oyer BabSon, the eminent Stats
ticIar OF We esley, has gathered the
following figures from close study
of war casu llties:
Fourteen men of every fiftc e. ha' e
been safe so far.
Under present conditions where
man power is being conserved, no
more than thirty is killed,
Only one man in 500 loses a limb
a chance no greater than in a hazard
Gus conditions at home.
MIR. Babson's conclusions are based
on the mortality figures of the French
army for the full three years of war,
and attention is called to the fact that
present fighting lis not resulting in
anywhere near the number of deaths
recorded for the first two years. He
says:
Most OF the wounds sustained in
the trenches are clean cut and Of such
nature that few weeks in the hos
pital makes the subject as fit as ever.
Only 100000 French soldiers have
been discharged on account of wounds
during the three years OF the war.
Fighting in the trenches, most OF
the wounds are in the top of the head,
simply scalp wounds. Practically
speaking, wound is either fatal or
slight, with but few between these
two extremes.
1t is true that American troops are
ntering bitter struggle. It is true
many will be killed. But it is not true
that nine out Of ten will be killed or.
wounded, or anything like that mum
Der. Nor is it true, though many
would swear II, that this is the blood
lest battle of history. Greater protec-
ton was never afforded the individu-
al soldier. Never was he asked to
invite fewer risks. Eek

France is stronger to-day in fight

any time during the war, despite three
years of terrific combat of which the
greatest among the Allies has fallen

by Andre Tardieu. high Commissioners
of France in the United States. II is
a question now of striking the last
blow at the adversary and the United
States will help, he declared.
