ENTENTE DIPLOMATS SURPRISED At PR0IAPTNES5
AND ENERGY Of AMERICAS REPLY To POPE'S PLEA

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Dis-
cussion OF President Wilson's re-
lection Of the pope's peace pro
posals In diplomatic circles today
revealed that even some of the
entente governments were unpre-
pared for the prompt fashion in
which the president disposed of
matter Of such tremendous i'm
portance.
There had been no doubt at any
time as to the general nature OF
the reply, and the understanding
Is that the United States was
generally looked upon as the ma
tion to speak first, but some of the
allied foreign offices, accustomed
10 long deliberated moves In d.
plonacy, regarded the exchanges
that had been going on. between
Washington and their own cap
itals as barely completed. They
had rather expected further dis
cussion Of the time for dispatch
Ing replies.
It was realized, however, by the
entente representatives in Wash
ington that President Wilson must
have, had good and sufficient rea-:
son for acting so quickly. Spec
ulation ascribes a desire to I'M
press favorably the great Russian
convention at Moscow while the
body still Is in a plastic and re:
ceptive state. 1t also was sug-
eested that the president might
have wished to anticipate, by his
remarkable state paper, oostruc-
tive action by the 'pacifist ele-
nents out Of and in congress III

Kipling has said OF France that
her men are wrought TO an edge OF
steel and the women a line OF fire
behind them" We are accustomed
TO thinking Of men as clothed in the
courage OF steel, but the conception
Of women taking part in war with
the burning determination describ-
ed above is little new. For this
reason, perhaps, we have been
especially interested in that line Of
fire in France, and now that the
time has come 10 test the body and
soul of our own nation, now that
we are clothing our men in steel,
we are wondering not a little about
th"t line OF fire that must be kindled
behind them by the women Of the
United States.
For months the light has been
flashing here and there and every
where throughout the country, dis
closing the names of women's de-
fense societies and service leagues
and protective associations. We
note the increasing activities Of the
Red Cross and kindred organizations.
We see women training in hospitals
and armories, and wherever persist

L. & N. Lets Contract For Branch
Line

The l.. & N. r. II. Company let the
contract recently for building the
branch line of railroad on from Wal
ker's Branch up to Lofts Creek. 1t
is not yet learned who secured the
contract, but the factor Of greatest
interest is that this branch line is to
be built at once, and throw open ID
active operation another territory
a. large as the First Greek coal field.
II is more especially tributary to
Hazard, and will thus be a large fac
tor in the future growth and devel-
opment of that city.
w. S. Dudley, president of the
Kentucky River Coal Corporation,
has been at work for some time ON
securing right-of-way for the rail-
road company.
This construction work, and the
pushing of work on the Lofts Creek
operation from now on, will great
Iy stimulate business activity in that
section, and the farmers up Lofts
Greek will experience an era OF
prosperity from now on, the like OF
which they have never even dream
