RACE TROUBLE FEARED
Streets OF Lexington Patrolled by Sol
diers 10 Prevent Clnsh With
Negroes.
IBy Associated Press.l

LEXINGTON. KY, September l.
The streets of Lexington tonight are
being patrolled by armed mounted and
foot soldiers of the kentucky National
Guard, and the civil authorities have
augmented their night police patrol as
the result Of a series of outbreaks In
the principal streets here to-day be-
tween negroes and soldiers. The town
is quiet. but suppressed excitement and
ill-feelinE are apparent and threats of
further trouble arc heard. but with the
additional guards the authorities be-
lieve they have the situation in hand.
The street fighting to-day was the
elimination of series of disorders
between soldiers camped at the edge
OF the city and negroes who have been
docking TO Lexington during the week
from a fair nearby. One negro was
taken to the hospital In a serious con-
dition. while numerous other negroes
received lesser injuries. The soldiers
escaped with minor bruises.
The local authorities reconsidered
their decision to request that the SOL
diers be kept of the streets for the
time being.

HAMILTON, MONT, September L.
James w. Gerard. former ambassador
to Germany. who Is visiting at the

day with DR.. Won Bethmann- Hollwee.

many. Mr.. Gerard issued q statement
In which he contraditced the declara-

that Gerard had drawn on his imagi-

moirs
DIR. Won Bethmann-H ollweg," said
Mr.. Gerard. apparently did not have
the exact copy OF my articles, for, II
he had read Thorn, he would have seen
clearly that / said the peace terms do
scribed were the. German peace terms.
and not the opinions of the chancellor.
1 wish to say that DR.. Hollweg said
himself that he was always subject to
the rule Of the military party Of Ger
many, and could not follow his own
desires.
In the second place. DR.. Hollweg adj
mtts that the German government in
tended to exact guarantees from Bel
GUM. and makes tho admission him.
self In tho interview In which he so
sharply criticizcs me.
Thirdly, 1 wish to say II those terms
cited are not the German peace terms,
then what are the German peace terms ?
DIR. Hollweg gives nothing different
from these. and so 1T might be assum-
ed they are the German terms after
all. l consider it a matter OF great
regret that the German government
put DR.. Hollwcg out Of office, and feel
that personally he Is bitterly opposed
to the ruthless submarine warfare OF
the German government. and that he
only refrained from resigning his
Office out Of Difference to the wishes of
Emperor Wilhelm.
II presume he was put out. because
his ideals are too liberal for the Ger
man authorities to endure. This lib
crafty Is shown in the interview. I
am sorry to take issue with DR.. Holl-
veg on this subject because 1 have a
great admiration for him, and think
he Is q fine old fellow"

PARAL YsIS GERM FOUND
II IL Successfully Isolated by Physicians
mt Philadelphia Jewish
- HospitnI.

PHILADELPHIA, September 1.-The
germ Of infantile paralysis has been
definitely found and isolated at the
Jewish Hospital, after a scientific re-
search of year. Announcement has
been made that the next step will be
the discovery of a cure. II is believed
that the cure will be found within a
short time.
Philadelphia physicians, Drs. Myer
Solis-Cohen and George D. Reist. and
Professor John y. Holmer, of the Uni
versi:y of Pennsylvania, are RESPONSE
BILE for the isolation Of the germ. The
research work was supported by fund
established for that purpose by Julius
Mastbaun,.
The germ was successfully isolated
by scientists of the Rockefeller Insti-
tute in 1913. The method was SO COM
plicated. however. It could not be estab-
lished accurately. The method of tho
local Institution is comparatively SIM
pie. and will oe announced to the med
zeal profession.
The presence OF another body found
on paralysis victims has been explained
to a certain degree. Previously 1t was
thought this body was present only
after death and was contamination.
Drs. Cohen and Reist and Professor
Holmer have discovered that this body
Is present before death. and seems TO
be associated with the disease. It's
exact status has not been definitely de-
termined.

AMERICAN PEOPLE

Impossible for This Country to Put Ell

PARIS, September l.-Mato r-General
Pershing, who has remained in Paris
clearing up the work at his old head
quarters and is not going to field head
quarters until Sunday or Monday, de-
clared to-day in connection with the
plans for the coming winter that the
American people must learn the mean
ing and value Of patience, and not e1-
pect that the expeditionary forces
landed in France can be rushed imme-
diately to the front-line trenches.
To put an inadequate. insufficiently
supplied force into actual combat. no
said, would merely be making a mis-
take. which the Germans unqucstion-
able, have hoped and expected the
United States would make. 1t is the de-
termination rather. that when Aver
lea does take her place in the line.
shoulder to shoulder with the other
allies. next year. she will be fully pre-
pared to go through the summer cam
paign and make the Germans feel the
full weight OF her military power.
Those Of us who have fully studied
tho situation and who know what is
necessary to be DONE" said General
Pershing to the Associated Press, "are
anxious that the people at home shall
strive to realize the immensely of tho
task in which we are engaged and
snail, through patience and confidence,
help US to accomplish that task in the
shortest possible time. Everything is
going we'll with us both as nation and
as an army. We are making giant
strides day by day, but we are Just
started. /.
I'VE came into the war without an
army. so now we must build an entire
new organization. and build 1t SO big
and SO strong that We can take our
place along with our allies, who al
ready have had three years time and
experience.
Il realize how very difficult it Is for
the people at home to visualize tho
war, to visualize the effort that lies
behind the war. Our problems are
greater than any France or Great
Britain had to solve. but we are soly.
ing them and will continue to do so.
1t Is impossible to create a vast
lighting machine merely by the wave of
wand. i wish that II were possible
to do so. and that we might be nght-
ing the German government this min
ute We know that the only way ia
defeat the German army is to hammer
1t and keep on hammering it. That /.
what we expect to be doing with ali
our fresh strength and enthusiasm dur
