SENATOR VARDANAN'S
POSITION.

Muchadveree criticism OF Sena-
tor Vardaman for his stand in re-
gard to the arming Of our mer-
chant vessels has been indulged
in for The past few days. Many
newspapers have gone off half
cooked, especially those papers
which have opposed senator
yardaman from the incipincy OF
his political career. The Jones
County News differs with the
Senator on the question Of armed
neutrality, yet we do not cen
sure him for his honest convie-
tions, and besides he did not
block voting on the bill.
In his explanation Of his vote,
he makes it clear that he withthe
President, believes that filibus-
tering should not be resorted TO
to defeat the will Of the majority.
The Senator has some convictions
and we believe he is sincere in
what he does. With the Meri-
dian Dispatch, we think that a
United State Senator should not
be guided altogether by puolic
sentiment in his own state, he
should look at the Country as a
whole. The patriotism that does
not comprehend the whole is not
worthy the name. Too many Of
us have been trainsd to think IN
local and not national terms.

are certain, agree with Preslden

Bethlehem's Bid on Shells
for The United States Navy

1sA&A~O atAF
To the American People
The Secretary of the Navy has awarded
contracts amounting TO over 5000, 600
TO British bidder for Ia and J6-inch
projectiles for the Navy because Of very
much lower prices offered by the English
bidders.
We know nothing of the basis upon which
the British bids were made, but the pub
bc is entitled TO know the facts upou
which se ourselves bid for this work.
Two years ago we took contracts
to make 200 I4-inch shells mt n
price of si,5l5,000. Up to now
not a single shell has been ac-
cepted by the Government, al
though We have expended, In
wages, materials, etc, on these
orders 1922, 1881, and we have not
received SINGLE DOLLAR on
these contracts.
In addition. literal Interpretation Of
the contract might make US liable for
penalties amounting 10 S67a,0l6
In the light of our experience, and hav-
ing no other basis, we bid for I6-incb
shells approximately the same rate Der
pound as that which the Navy Depart
ment actually awarded a l4-inch shell
contract one year ago.

STORM IN
FLANDERS
New Position Wrested From
Austrians and Heavy AS
saults Are Repulsed.
RUSSIANS QUIT TRENCHES
Without Waiting for Attack
They Flee Artillery Fire on
Bessarabian Frontier.

The fighting fronts, except in the
Austro-Italian theatre and in eastern
Bukowina and southern Moldavia
show a remarkable abatement in the
violence of the fighting that has been
going on for several weeks. Along
the front in Flanders and northern
France held by the British bad wealth
err again has set in and aside from re-
ciprocal bonn bardments, which at
some points have reached the stage
of drum fire, and minor infantry OPP
erations on the part of the British,
little is being done by either of the
belligerents.
In the Verdun sector the Germans
have ceased entirely their counter-at-
lacks against the newly won French
positions, evidently having found that
the task of trying to rehabilitate them
selves was useless. The infantry of
both sides have remained in their
trenches and only on the western
bank OF the Mouse has there been
even artillery activity.
On the Bainsizzi plateau, north of
Gorilla, the Italians and Austrians are
still engaged in furious battle, with
the Italians the aggressors, but with
the Austrians strongly on the de-
Tense. New positions have been won
by Gen. Cadorna's forces and heavy
Austrian attacks to regain lostErOund
have been successfully repulsed. ST.
lence is still maintained by the Rome
war office concerning the operations
on the Corso plateau. e~-s.
On the the frontier of BeSsarabia in
eastern Bukowina, the Russian troops
again are showing signs of disaffec-
ton, having near Boyany deliberately
quit their trenches and retreated east,
the Austro-G Germans taking the tren-
ches they quilted.
In lower Moldavia, in the region of
Fokshani, height positions have been
taken from the Bulgarians.
There is no report of fighting in
Russia, indicating that the activity
near Riga was not an effort to cap
ture the naval base.

10 the Great Court Of Mankind President Tells How
Foe Has Bathed Continent With the Blood Of
Women and Children and Helpless Poor
PLEDGE OF GOVERNMENT WORTHLESS
No Peace Can Be Based on Recuperatng Germany
Would Hasten to Disrupt Newborn Russia
America, in Spite Of Wrongs Wants No Reprisals,

Washington, Aug. 29.-President
Wilson has rejected the pope's peace
In note dispatched last night and
made public here tonight the presi-
dent says that while every heart not
blinded and hardened by the terrible
war must be touched by the moving
appeal of his holiness, it would be
folly to take the path of peace he
points out if it does not in fact lead to
the goal he proposes.
To deal with such a power as the
present rulers of Germany upon Pope
Benedict's plan, declares the presi-
dent, would involve a recuperation of
the strength and renewal of the world
domination of that power, baked but
not defeated after sweeping a conti-
nent with the blood of innocent wom-
en- and children and the helpless poor
as well as of soldiers.
Permanent peace must be based up
on the faith of all the peoples and up
on Justice and fairness and the COM
mon rights of mankind, he adds, and
1--WE cannot take the word of the
present rulers of Germany as a guar
antee of anything that is to endure,
unless exploited supported by such
conclusive evidence of the will and
purpose of the German people them
selves as the other peoples of the
world would be justified in accept

LETTER TO
Committeeman
Sent Out by Local Commit.
Of The Council Of
Defense.

You have been appointed a member
Of the local committee of the State
Council of Defense, and a meeting
has been called by the Christian
County Committee to meet at Hop
kinsville, KY, at the court house on
the Sd day of September, County
court day. for the purpose of making
thorough organization Of Christian
county and for the purpose of putting
on campaign in the state of Kentucky,
with view Of arousing the people to
their duty in the serious war that this
country is now engaged in.
The object of this meeting is to
bring all members of this committee
and all other organizations into CO
operation for this great work that
confronts us. The country is at war
and our boys and young men are be-
ing called to the colors, and it is the
duty OF every. man and woman in this
nation to enlist for any work they
may be called upon to do at home, in
order that we may stand behind the
men that are called to the front. Iii
believed by those best posted and in
authority that whenever Germany is
awakened to the fact that the people all
over this land are standing shoulder
to shoulder behind the armies of this
nation, that Germany will sue for
peace on honorable lines.
Christian county is large county,
and we want to let the people of this
state know, and we want to let our
nation know, that this great county is
ready and willing to do her part in
support of the armies of this nation,
who will fight for our freedom and
independence.
We would be glad if you would in
terest yourself in getting large numI
Der of the citizens of your community
to attend this meeting. We will be
glad to hear from you on this subject.
Yours sincerely,
j. B. ALLENSWORTH.

alleged that Harmed struck McCourt
on the head with a wagon standard.
He did not appear to be seriously

that McCourt had reached home and

he went to the pasture for his cattle.
