Germans Fail in 3 or a At
lacks on British at
Bullecourt.
TEUTON LOSS WAS HEAVY
Attacks on the English and
French Lines Was Not
General Offensive.

Around Bullecourt the intensive
fighting which has been going on for
more than a week continues unaba-
ted, the Germans throwing assault
after assault against the British. Tues
day four of these were launched, the
Germans losing in all of them except
the last, when their troops drove back
the British in the Western portion of
the village for a distance of about 100
yards. In all the attacks the Ger
man casualties were extremely heavy,
in one of them about $50 dead and
wounded having been left inside the
British lines.
Along the front held by the French
artillery actions prevailed throughout
Tuesday, the Germans failing to fol-
low up their infantry attacks of Mon
day, in which the French war office
says they suffered heavy losses.
The Italians have assumed the Of
fensive after the Austrians in the
Isonzo region along front of nearly
% miles. Following extremely heavy
bombardments the Italians loosed
their infantry in front attacks and
made considerable progress at vari-
Gus points, according to the Italian Of
fetal communication. The battle is
still raging.
Another success by the VenezilistS
troops in Macedonia is recorded by
Paris, two works extending over
fronts Of more than 1,500 yards hav,
ing been captured and held in the face
of counter attacks.

WORKING RAW
MATERIAL
Into Military Condition Is
Lieut.. Clark's Daily Task.

Those pacifists VINO cry against the
boys joining the army and who preach
against all military preparation should
have been in this city in the last few
days. They should have seen the
raw recruits, from every walk of
life, from the city boy to the pillow
boy, as they appeared last week, and
as they appear now.
When the boys first came here
they knew nothing about how to hold
themselves erect; they could not keep
step, and in truth were the rawest of
raw recruits. But now it is all differ
ent. Lieutenant Alvan Clark has ia
ken charge of the bunch of As and
every day, morning and evening,
marches them out to Virginia Park
and gives them setting-up exercises.
Besides getting the boys perfect physi-
cally, this teaches them to keep time
and helps them to make them into
one great unit
At first sore muscles were the or
der of the day, but now this is pass
ing and all are rounding into shape.
Yesterday morning the boys were
put ,hrough a strenuous workout at
the park and then placed under COM
mand OF one of the best drilled of the
men and marched off down Campbell
street. AS they went down the street
they kept perfect time, held them
selves erect, straighter than they had
ever been before, and the Lieutenant
turned and said to one of his friends,
They are as fine bunch as ever
had anything to do with" But Lieut..
Clark shouldn't be SO modest. He
should take some of the credit to him
self.

Demands That He Define Ger

DEFIANCE TO PARTIES
Chancellor Declares He Will
Be Swayed By the Pres
sure Of No Party.

Berlin, May 16.-The socialist lead
err, George Ledebour, declared in the
reichstag Tuesday that it was impos-
sible for Germany to win war of
subiugation and expressed the con-
viction that a revolution must happen
in Germany, as it had happened in
Russia.
1--WE shall propose a constitutional
committee" he said, Ito take pre-
paratory steps in the direction of
introducing republic in Germany.
In one of the most vigorous and
plain-spoken speeches he has yet
made before the reichstag since the
outbreak of the war, the imperial
German chancellor bluntly refused to
enter into discussion of Germany's
peace aims as demanded in interpella-
tons by the conservatives and social
lists. Won Bethmann-Hollweg assert
ed that these called for the govern
ment's specific peace program, the
announcement of which would, at the
present time, not only be premature,
but which it would be difficult to
formulate and would be of no practical
service to the nation in the present
situation.
While approaching the passionate
desire of all classes to know the gov
ernment's wishes, the chancellor
plainly declared that he would not
permit himself to be swayed by pres
sure from any source, and that he
was not under the spell Of any party
or clique. The best interests of the
nation, he believed, demanded that
the reticence he had imposed upon
himself in the face of continuous
clamor since December, 1915, should
be observed by him until the moment
was ripe.

STRAWBERRIES
NOW READY
Home Crop Is Already APP
pearing On the Local
Market.

AT the Fife Benefit Concert Monday
night Rev. F. F. Walters, of the Ninth
Street Christian church, announced
that the Pembroke Strawberry Assoc
citation wanted berry pickers and that
on Saturday he would 90 with a
crowd of boys and girls to Pembroke
to pick berries. The announcement
that pickers were wanted was The
first notice that many Of the lo;,1
people had that the berry season was
at hand.
The year has been favorable 10
berry growing, but for some season
not known, the prospect this season
is not as good as at this time last year
insofar as the earliest kinds of berv
ries are concerned. The Aroma ber-
ries, the mainstay of the Associates,
will be ripe in another week. The
berries ready for sale at present are
the earliest kind. With continued
good weather the crop Of Aroma
berries will be as good as ever this
year.

Present Quarters To Be Doub-
led and Building Greatly
Improved.
WILL START WORK SOON
And The New Building Will
Be Completed By
Fall.

Hopkinsville has long been noted
for the beauty and superiority Of its
bank buildings. There has been more
or less rivalry between the four banks
in the undermining Of their buildings.
The City Bank is preparing to have
the last word in bank buildings. Its
quarters on the corner of Main and
Seventh street have been outgrown
and some time ago the bank bought
the storeroom on the north side and
now owns a frontage of Al feet on
Main street. John T. Waller, the
architect, is now preparing plans for
a remodeled building to take in both
rooms, doubling the banks floor
space. The present fronts of both
rooms will be torn out and a hand
some new stone front will be put in.
New vaults will be built in the room
to be added and the elegant furnish
ings in the present bank will even be
excelled in the new building.
When completed, the bank will be
one of the best in Kentucky in all of
its appointments.
The STAIRWAY, now on the Seventh
street side, will be moved to Main
and the second story will be filled up
with Offices for professional men, the
whole floor A by 100 feet being de-
voted to this purpose.
The officers of the City Bank, long
recognized as one of the most pros
porous banking institutions in Ken
lucky, are w. 7. Tandy, President;
John B. Trice, Vice. President
Ira L. Smith, Cashier, and j. A.
Browning, Jr., Assistant Cashier.
The work under contemplation is to
be started in the near future and COM
pleted during the summer, without
interference with the business of the
bank.

Y. M. c. A. SOLD
FOR $lO,525
Unfinished Building Finally
Disposed Of At
Auction.

AT II o'clock Tuesday morning the
Y. NJ. c. A. building on Ninth street
was sold. The sale took place at the
courthouse door and A. S. Tribble
acted as auctioneer. A good crowd
was on hand and bidding was spirited
until the price reached was sos
After vainly trying to get more, the
auctioneer knocked off the property
to w. r. Brumfield for $40, 525.
This is one of the most valuable
pieces of real estate in the business
section of the city. The building was
erected during the first days Of block
concrete erection, and the opinion has
been that the place was unsafe for a
gymnasium but apparently it is as
good as when first built. The build
ing was erected at a cost of SIS, 600
and later sold for $4,000, but this
sale did not stand, and the sale Tues
day was the first bona-fide sale of the
property. The house has basement
and two stories but is incomplete.
For ten years or more it has been
rented to pay for its up-keep and for
the temporary work done to make it
fit for occupancy. Its proceeds will
have to be reinvested or returned to
the stockholders.

Congress Of Grain Boards
Extends Ban on Wheat Flu
lures Buying Indefinitely.
WHEAT DROPS TO $2.42
Exchanges Are Ready to Take
Same Action on Corn
and Oats.

Chicago, May l6.-Action, which it
was said, will remove the element Of
speculation from the grain market and
which it is believed, will forestall
any steps by the federal government,
was taken Tuesday at meeting of
representatives of the primary grain
exchange of the country. 1t was ac-
complished by fixing a maximum
price for wheat futures. al or under
which sales may be made, but no buy
ing will be permitted except to close
out accounts. No trading in May OPP
tions of wheat, corn Of oats is per-
mitted except to close deals.
The same principle is extended to
July and Sept. oats and corn in prin-
ciple, but action was not taken as it
was held unnecessary at this time.
The delegates simply agreed to ex-
tend the embargo if necessity arises.
Grain prices were lower. Heavy
shrinkage followed in wheat, at one
time as much IA 10 cents bushel,
owing to the prospect which at last
became a fixed fact that established
limits on high prices would continue
indefinitely and that all new buying
of wheat futures was at an end. The
market closed unsettled, Z to tic net
lower, with July at 81, AZ and Sept. at
ST. 20 to 2.2l. Other leading staples
too, showed decided setback, corn
% to 2ac; oats I to 3Ac and provisions
z to 25c.

The Governments plan OF food
control legislation is certain to be
passed by Congress. Government
officials believe the most effective
WAYS of preventing rising food prices
is TO pool buying interests and stop
competitive purchasing by the allies.
In this way it is believed markets will
stabilize themselves and that with
minimum price fixing in force, pro-
ducers will exert themselves to in
crease the food output. Maximum price
fixing plans as explained by Secreta-
ry Houston do not contemplate max
imum price on staples generally, but
application of the principle only when
il appears food corner is in sight.
In this way the agriculture depart
ment believes price manipulation
could be controlled in an effectual
manner. The department believes it
will be possible when the food con-
troll bills are passed to stop all food
speculation for profit and still leave
the market open for the buying Of le-
climate futures.
