URGES QUICK ACTION ON AP-
PEALS FOR EXEMPTION

Prompt action by exemption appeal
boards was urged by Provost Marshal
General Crowder, in a telegram to
the Governors, declaring delays would
mean that men with exemption
claims undecided would escape the
September 5 call to the colors at the
expense Of others who have waived
exemption.
Every district must furnish 80 per
cent of it's quota on the first call, and
unless the claims of all belonging in
this contingent have been decided
men further down the line making no
claims will have to be moved up
into the vacancies.
The Government desires that every
man go as far as possible in his
proper order.
Railroad ojcials are preparing af-
fidavits for presentation to Exemp-
ton Boards in favor of many of their
various employees drafted for army
service. These releases will be asked
for on the ground that the men are
necessary in transportation move
ment affecting Government troops
and supplies. These affidavits will
be in addition to the exemptions
claimed by the men on their own &C
count.

JAPAN AND AMERICA TO JOIN
HANDS.

A new day among nations in which
Japan and America shall forget the
little mole hills that have been eX-
aggerated into mountains to bar our
good relations" and march togeth-
er, work together, and fight to-
gether as comrades" was pledged
in a recent speech by Viscount X.
Ishii, ambassador extraordinary and
plenipotentiary to the United States.
Heading a special mission Wis
count Ishii spoke for his government
at a dinner rendered him. The Wis
count was presented by David Me-
Nab, an attorney sent from Washing
ton to arrange the reception of the
mission and by the Governor of the
State and Mayor of the city.
The speakers stand was dotted
with uniforms. High officers of the
American army sat in khaki with
Major General Hisakhi Sugano; ma
val officers in blue surrounded Vice
Admiral T. Takeshita, the ranking
army and navy representatives of the
mission. The State department dele
cation was headed by Breckenridge
Long, third assistant secretary.

THE military masters of Germany
denied us the right to be neutral.
They filled our communities with vi
cious spies and conspirators. They
sought to corrupt our citizens. = $ :
They sought by violence to destroy
our industries and arrest our COM
merce. They tried to incite Mexico
to take up arms against us and to
draw Japan into hostile alliance with
her. They impudently denied us the
use of the high seas and repeatedly
executed their threat that they would
send to their death any of our people
who ventured to approach the coasts
of Europe.

Condemnation of reasonable utter

The former President advocated an
early eradication of the speakers.

BRITISH FOREIGN MINISTER AID
MIRES "OUR BOYS"

British Foreign Minister Arthur
J. Balfour, who recently visited the
United States at the head of the
British Mission, wrote the following
letter to American Ambassador Page,
at London, after the parade of
American troops there, which was re-
viewed by King George:
1.-THE members of War Cabinet, who
have just witnessed the parade OF
the American troops, desire to ex-
press their admiration of the mag
nificent sight and their deep gratifl-

the dry" forces of this country.
They announce that the sum of one
million dollars is to be expended in
advancing the cause of nationwide
prohibition. 1t is going to be cam
paign which will touch every foot
of territory between the lakes and
the CULTS and all that lies between
the worlds two greatest seas.
1t is of interest to Bourbon county
people to know that the men back Of
this proposition have carefully stud
led the best means of expanding one
million dollars in advertising-and
they have decided to put every cent
of it in the newspapers. They have
carefully considered the lecture plat
form, and they know that it proves
good advertising. They have tested
the billboards and the magazines,
may be reached through these
sources. They have tried house-to-
house solicitation with only partial
success. Now they are going to take
the sum of one million dollars and
spend it with the newspapers, de-
claring that careful study, in fact
several years of careful study, has con-
WINGED them that only through the
newspapers can cause so gigantic
as they are exploiting hope for sue
cess.
AS result every newspaper in
this broad land will, no matter what
it's editorial sentiment may be, carry
the message of prohibition into the
homes that would not otherwise be
reached. The expenditure of this mill
lion dollars in newspaper advertising
is going to be watched with interest
by Bourbon county people. And We
can safely say that the people in
every other county in all of the forty
eight States of the Union will watch
it just as closely for the purpose of
determining the real value of news
papers as advertising mediums.

PARIS TESTIMONY.
Home Proof. Here. There and Every

When you see Doan's Kidney Pills
recommended in this paper you most
always find the recommended a Paris
resident. It's the same everywhere
in $500 towns in the U. s. Forty
thousand people publicly thank Do
ans. What other kidney remedy can
give this proof of merit, honesty and
truth? Home testimony must be
true or it could not be published here.
Read this Paris recommendation.
Then insist on having Doan's. You
will know what you are getting.
Phillip M. Heller, proprietor meat
market, 1872 Main St., Paris, says:
"T have used DOan's Kidney Pills a
few times in the past and have been
greatly benefited by them. Some
times my back has been weak and
lame and the kidney secretions have
passed too frequently, causing me to
set up at night. 1 have used a box
of Doan's Kidney Pills at these times
and they have always rid me of the
complaint. / always think that they
are a splendid medicine and gladly
recommend them"

On Getting Paid.

II is reported that in a town very
close to Paris young man was called
recently before the draft board for
and faced the members of the board
he wanted to know who was to pay
him for the time he would lose while
he was in the war. He argued that
he was getting eighteen dollars
week from the concern for which he
was working, and he understood that
the army paid but thirty-four dollars
for four weeks time
The members of the board informed
him that he would be paid out of the
same fund from which they drew
their pay, and that the same per-
son who paid them would pay him
And he seemed satisfied until they
went further and explained to him
that not one cent of money is drawn
by the men who have sacrificed their
time and energies in conducting the
registration, the examination and the
worry attending them.
The young man was not selfish,
neither was he unpatriotic. He was
just one of those boys who made the
mistake early in life of wanting to
know. even before they went to work,
how much the job paid. We have
them here in Paris, boys who do not
place a value upon a trade or knowl-
edge of profession, but who can
= only see the dollar in it, Any Paris
man viii tell you that the moment a
boy applies for a position in one
: breath and then asks in the next
How much will it pay?" is not by
any means the kind of boy that is
going to make good on the job.
The boy who realizes that he must
make himself worth something is the
boy who will surely win out And
when he knows that the more worth
he shows the better will his remuner-
alton, he has learned one of the
greatest secrets of success. He, must
learn, too, that life is full of sacri-
fees, just as many boys have learned
for the first time since this war be-
gan. And he must come to know
that while the world may owe every
man living that living is going to
be hard to collect unless sacrifices
are made.

Desperate Battle Last All Day,
But Ends With Notable
Victory

In Italy the battle is still raging
on the Pave front. The Italians an
nounce that they have recaptured in
the all-day battle, despite stubborn
resistance, the positions they had
lost the previous day on the Asiago
plateau. Berlin reports, however,
tend to minimize the setback and lay
stress on the repulse Of Italian coun-
ter-attacks against the positions
newly won by the Germans, and
thrust at Monte Pertica. The Ger
mans report the capture of 5000
Italians in engagements around Col
del Rosso.
True to their tactics, the Austro-
Germans will probably direct anoth-
er and greater thrust at different
point, as would appear from the
shifting of large forces to the Fran
zela valley and the mountainous re-
gion to the north. The menace to

sons exempt from military service by
virtue of state laws were excused
