GERMANY ADMITS WAR PLOT

German Foreign Minister Zim-
hermann has frankly admitted that
Germany had made efforts TO ally
Japan and Mexico with her 20 war
against the United States, and his
statement caused little surprise to
American officials. They said that
Minister Zimmermann's defense Of
the intrigue on the ground that it
only was intended to be carried out
in the event the United States did
not remain neutral did not change
the situation in the slightest degree.
1t seems Germany has nerve
enough to put most anything over
on this country"-and the worst of
it is she gets away with it."

take no particular credit for this
and had it not been for the hearty
operation of the Council same
could not have been done.
First.-The passing of an ordi-
nance making all City Officers where
If could be done by law elected by
the people instead of the Council
az in former years.
Second.-A new contract with
the Kentucky Utilities Co., saving
the taxpayers almost $4,000 per
year on lighting.
Third.-The combining of the
City Treasurer and the City Tax
Collector Offices and reducing the
fees and compensation, thus making
saving to the City of about $500
per annum.
Fourth.-Reducing the salary of
City Attorney from 5000 to 5000
and of Police Judge from 5000 to
$500; Mayor, 5000 to $500.
Fifth.-Employment of only 2 in
stead of 3 policemen, saving the
taxpayers $500. No particular
credit is due for this as the doing
away with saloons has made the
community moer peacable and law
abiding and there is and was no
need for policemen.
Sixth.-Reductio of the Occupa-
ton tax by so per cent. and it now
seems possible with the same strict
economy as now being pursued
within another year or two to en-
tirely repeal this tax.

 In previous conflicts, women have not been unresponsive to our country's call aud the women of to-day will like wise spring to the fore and do mans part wherever they can.
 The need for young women to-day IS imperative. Not only is there short age of stenographers in all govern ment departments at Washington, but private firms all over the country must have stenographers and office help to fill the gaps caused by the war.
