thority on the President, after conSulta- ton with the President and the Attorney General and will introduce it in the House on Monday.
 NO EMBARGO MEASURE
 It is not in any sense a general em- bargo on exports, he explains, but does give the President plenary power to con- trol and regulate the shipment of goods which might find a destination in an enemy country. The administration is opposed to embargoes and has discour- aged the passage of the various meas ures which proposed to forbid the ex- portation of munitions and food supplies
 The measure will not result in curtail- ing production in any industry in the country, but the products of farm and factory will continue to be in at least as great demand as during the last few months. If there is reason to suspect, however, that exports from America are being shipped to the Netherlands or other country for re-export to Germany, the President is authorized to exercise con- trol over such shipments.
 INTELLIGENT DIRECTION
 ''I have always opposed all embargo laws,'' said Representative Adamson in discussing the proposed legislation, but this measure is not to be regarded as an embargo law but as an effort to give intelligent direction through the respon- sible constituted authorities, to the dis tribution of supplies as well as muni- tions. The legislative provision of the bill I will introduce on Monday, with the approval of the administration, is as fol- lows:
 /" Whenever in time of war the Presi- dent of the United States shall find that the public safety or welfare shall so re- quire, and sha make proclama ton there of, it shall be unlawful to export any article or articles from the United States, except at such time or times, or from such place or places, and under such regulations and orders and subject to such limitations and exceptions as the President shall prescribe until otherwise ordered by the President or by Congress
 This proposition is not to be regarded as an embargo continued Representa- tive Adamson, but as a necessary pru- dential regulation in order to insure the efficient and successful prosecution of the war It will not in any event or in any respect restrict our markets but only di- rects the wise distribution of our prod ucts."

TO SINK TEST WELLS IN BOUR-
BON OIL FIELDS.

That the Bourbon county capital
lists are getting ready to operate in
the oil fields near North Middletown
is evidenced by the fact that three
Bourbon county members of the
company were in Winchester last
week, looking for drillers and drilling
rigs, with which to sink test wells
on their leases.
A recent issue of the Winchester
Daily Sun contains the following ref
erence to the fields on the Plum Lick
pike, where operations were under
taken some years ago, with promis-
ing results, but abandoned because of
lack of capital:
"An oil company, composed OF local
people of Paris and Bourbon county
are forming stock company to de-
velop some of the territory in the
Southwestern part of the county.
Many oil men have attempted to lease
property in and near Plum Lick, but
the farmers have refused to lease and
are expecting to test out their farms
themselves.
1.-The Bourbon capitalists are of the
opinion that there is oil in the Plum
Lick neighborhood and that with the
proper rigs and the right kind of
men in charge that they will find oil
in paying quantities.
"a number of years ago Sandusky,
of New York, and several of the
North Middletown farmers formed a
small company that drilled several
small wells on the farms in the Plum
Lick neighborhood about four miles
from North Middletown and about
fifteen miles from Winchester and
struck oil on the King Todd farm
and the H. S. Caywood farm which
was located near the Todd farm on
the Rockbridge Turnpike. Only a
small amount of oil was secured and
the idea was abandoned. On the
King Todd farm for number of years
the farmers in that section used the
oil for their machinery.
1.-The same company had under lease
at that time the property around
Olympian Springs, which is now the
famous Ragland Fields, but due tC
the lack of capital they were unable
to put down a we'll.
"Some of those interested in the
company that expects to drill in
Bourbon county were in this city
Tuesday looking for rig to contract
for a we'll on the Caywood farm"

A CARD FROM MR.. GEORGE BAT
TERTON.


TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF
BOURBON COUNTY:
In THE BOURBON NEWS of July
II, 1 notice that my opponent, Judge
c. A. Mcmillan, has arranged and
advertised speaking dates, and ask
that be present, i'll so desire, and
explain why think he should not be
reelected.
There is no issue to be debated be-
tween us two; we both want the same
Office, and each have held public
Office in the past. My opponent is
now serving term of four years as
County Judge, he was City Attorney
of Paris for four years previous to
this, and Master Commissioner of the
Bourbon Circuit Court for four years
while holding the other offices; thus
giving him twelve years in Office dur
ing eight years of time. 1 am now
serving my second term as County
Attorney. The public has had an op-
uortunity to know us both, and see
our faults and mistakes while we
have been in Office. There is no issue
upon which we can jointly debate,
! except our merits and dement's,
which mean our faults. vices and
mistakes, as we'll as our virtues. A
join debate would mean that each
would probably laud himself to the
skies in self praise, or criticize the
| faults and mistakes of his opponent.
I believe the public is aware of how
1 have conducted myself while in
office, and also of my private life, SO
1 have nothing to fear from this
source But have tried to con-
duct a campaign free from abuse
criticism and faultfnding, and want
it completed this way. I do not be
lieve it can be done in joint de-
bate as our speeches would be per-
sonal. I do not want to say anything
about my opponent, no matter how
true, in the heat of an argument
which 1 would not say under ordi-
nary conditions.
1 have also made a personal can
vass, and I have seen most of the
voters in this way, and in a debate
I would only wish to tell them again
what I have told them before.
Because of the above reasons, 1 dc
not believe it is best either for us
or for the county, that we have q
Joint debate, and I have therefore
decided not to speak with him, unless
he says something in some of hi;
speeches, which I believe requires
answering, and which hope, he will
not do.
If my opponent chooses this method
of presenting his claims to the voters
of course there is nothing wrong In
that, but it would result in evi
should we both choose this method
at the same time and place. 1 pre-
sumo he believes it to be necessary
for him to explain to the voters why
he thinks he should be reelected, Of
else he would not do so.

NOW ON DRYDOCK

The wrecked Norwegian steamer
Sinaloa, with Capt. Leo Curtis and
Harry IIayiside on board, arrived tri-
umphantly in San Francisco recently
from Cape BIanco and went direct to
the Alameda plant Of the Union Iron
Works
The wrecked steamer was towed
by the tug Oneonta with the steam
schooner Phoenix acting as a rudder
astern. The time made down was
fast enough, much faster than eN-
pected. The tow made the CSC odd
miles in a little more than so hours.
Just how badly damaged the Sina-
loa is, can not be determined until
surveyed. She has the proud honor
of being the only vessel ever to be
salved off that particular part OF an
exceedingly rocky coast and she rep
resents another record for both Curtis
and Haviside, who are well-knoWn to

about 46 miles.
Offensive Transferred
In April the British transferred their
offensive northeast of Arras, forcing
Won Hinden0erg to redistribute his
forces along a fifteen-mile front. Ca.
nadians played a historic part in this
nght1ng. Monchy-le-Preux was taken
and Vimy Ridge was captured after
one of the worlds bloodiest battles
Canadians held the ridge against des
perate counter attacks. This success
east of Arras turned Hindenoerg's
northern pivot, and British critics re-
garded it as the greatest in the his
tory Of British arms in the present
war. This offensive, continued, plac-
ed the British astride the Hindenberg
line, and the Germans retired to posi-.
tons a mile or two west of the Dro.
court-Queant line. These they held
as the third year closed.
Meanwhile the battles Of Champaign
and the Aisne had been carried on by
the French. who in april captured Au.

struggles of the war, the Germans sus.
