THIRD OFFICERS CAMP
VIII Open January 1--OnIy Enlisted
and Drafted Men 10 Be
Accepted, However.

Washington, September 24-A third
series of officers training camps will
be opened by the War Department
early In January. Candidates for
commissioners, Adjutant General Nc
Cain announced tonight, will be Sc
lected from enlisted men of the reg
ular army or those called to the COL
ors under the selectiye draft law, no
applications from civilians being con-
sidered.
None Of the training camp sites
now being utilized will be used for
the next series, it was said. 1t is
probable that following the system of
selecting national encampments, the
majority Of the camps will be stu
ated in the South in order to escape
the rigors of a northern winter.
Establishment Of the third series OF
camps Is part of general policy OF
the War Department to continue the
making Of officers by special train
ing in order to keep pace with the
enlisted strength Of the service.

ARGENTINE DEPUTIES VOTE TO
BREAK RELATIONS

Buenos Aires, September 25-The
Chamber Of Deputies today voted in
favor Of rupture with Germany. The
vote was SO to 49, Similar action was
taken by the Senate, the other branch
of the Argentine Parliament, last
Wednesday by a vote of 23 to l. The
government is expected to follow the
now complete recommendation of the
legislative body.
The situation brought about by the
strike is becoming more serious. 1t
ia feared the conflict will assume a
revolutionary character If an imme-
date settlement is not reached. The
city's food supplies have been almost
cut off by the strike. No more milk
is to be had. The cutting of tele-
graph wires has isolated the capital
except from nearby southern points.
The only cable communication which
remains open is by way of London.

SANITARY SURVEY FORCE REC.
OMMENDS SOFT TILE FOR
DRAINS

There seems to be some misunder-
standing among the people in the
county as to the quality of tile to use
as drains for the sanitary toilets. The
Sanitary Survey force unqualifledly
recommends the soft tile or what is
known as unglazed farm tile. This
tile can be purchased at Mr.. George
Traxel's in this city. The advantages
in using this soft tile are: First, II
is the cheapest; second, the effluent
can drain through the tile as we'll az
through the joints and be evenly dis
tributed at all points,
A lot Of trouble and misunderstand'
ing will be avoided II all who buy the
material for the construction Of the
sanitary toilets will insist on the pur
chasing of soft tile.

MAYSVILLE'S LAST CHANCE-SO0
MEN WANTED

The much talked Of Maysville-Som-
erset contest comes to close next
Sunday. Somerset Is now twenty-four
in the lead. They were nearly fifty
ahead but the big attendance Of men
in the Christian Bible School last
Sunday set Somerset back a little.
Next Sunday morning there must be
enough men present to make sure to
have more than twenty-four more
that all that Somerset will have out
on their final to keep ahead. This
will not be easily accomplished. The
people of Somerset work together
with a community pride to put their
city ahead. This was shown when
they beat Maysville In the Go to Bible
School Day attendance on May 9Th.
And it was shown when all the
churches practically gave up their
services to attend the Christian
Church and so helped that church win
over Nicholasville. That was the day
they had 566 men. We are expecting
them to do the same thing again next
Sunday in an effort to keep ahead of
Maysville. In-as-much as 1t takes this
one effort to put Maysville first, we
are justified in all the men Of this
community both in the city and in the
country, both those who have been 60
ing to Bible School and those who
have not, to be present in the Chris
tian Church mems class sometime be-
tween $3.50 and 10:30 Sunday morn
ing. The annual fall Rally Of the
school will be held on Sunday also
Our slogan is Maysville First.

is not this wheaton, rather the larger
part of it,-being ground into flour and

because Of a car shortage; but there is
another reason; the dealers and speeu-

every candid, fair-minded, unprecedented

who commits the greater crime, those who

straight out from the Senate. Senator

Japan Getting Toy Market.

Although the american people are
now giving their first and most earn
est attention to problems growing out
Of war, yet all the usual processes of
the government are continuing, the or
binary business affairs of the coun-
try are proceeding. and all the prob
lens Of peace still confront us.
This is evidently recognized by the
American consular representative in
Yokohama, Japan, who continues to
make reports upon commercial condi-
lions. Though he is employed by an
administration that declares that cost
of production is not a. tangible basis
for a tariff, he continues to report
facts concerning wages in the coun-
try to which he is assigned. For in
stance, in report on the japanese toy
trade, he says.
"A skilled toy maker receives a daily
wage of but IS sen (37 cents) and over
mead charges are extremely low be-
cause many Of the toys are made in
the homes of the workers."
From total of s945,O0o in 1912. Jap
ans toy shipments rose to $3,80s, 900 in
1916, the United States being the chief
market for their sale.
The thirteenth census of the United
States Q910) showed 226 establish
ments with capital aggregating about
$6,50oo0O engaged in making toys and
games in this country. There were
over 5000 employees on the payroll and
none Of them was working for 81
cents day by long shot. The
American industry is carried on bv
small factories scattered throughout
the country, employing from 25 to $50
hands, and the Democratic trust bug
aboo was never concerned with toys.
The greatest growth Of the industry
was during the period 1S99-1912, under
the Republican tariff policy, which
period marked an increase of 125 per
cent in the value Of the toy output, or
from 100000 in 1899 to $4,000, 900 in
1912. During this time there was a
gradual growth from seasonal to a
perennial industry.
Our business has been built up un-
der the present tariff rate, declared
the president Of a Bridgeport, Conn.,,
toy factory to the ways and means
committee in 1918 And the president
OF New York concern averred that
1T could only have been done under
the shield of a protective tariff"
Heretofore Austria. Germany and
Belgium have been our chief connect
itors in the toy trade. They have been
temporarily eliminated by the warsSs
trade rivals. Japan. paying a still
smaller wage, is reaping the benefit.

T. RS Peace Terms.

Theodore Roosevelt in an article
headed PUT the Flag on the Firing
Line" in the June Metropolitan Maya
zine, with characteristic courage of his
convictions. outlines what world peace
terms should be- He does not bother
with the pet ambitions Of this nation
or that but deals with a settlement of
ultimate world benefit-a planting of
democracy in Europe where hope had
fed before the mailed fist and merci-
less monarchy. Mr.. Roosevelt says in
part:
THE Prussianized Germany of the
Hohenzollerns has shown itself even
more the enemy of freedom and hui
mainly and justice and international
right than was Napoleon's France. Let
us strive for the peace of justice and
of international right. Did they but
know it, the German people themselves
would benefit by our victory; and es-
pecially the people of South Germany
and of Austria, who would be free from
the tyranny of Prussia. and would be
q
more than an offset for not being al
lowed to wong others. Belgium and
France must have all that has been
taken from them restored. The Turk
must leave Europa Democratic
Russia at Constantinople will threaten
no one Armenia should be freed and
autonomous. Austria is not a country
but a knot of nationalities, of which
two tyrannize over the others. Let
the Hungarians keep Magyar Hungary,
and the Austrians German Austria.
Let the Italians have the Trentino and
Trieste. Let there be a great Servia,
a great Bohepia, a great Roumania.
Poland should once more be a nation,
which should include all the Polish
lands, and have an outlet on the Bal
tic through old Polish Prussia, old
West Prussia. East Prussia, which is
German, would be unavoidably separ-
ated from the other German lands; but
it could be kept united with them
politically; and also commercially by
arrangements for through railway
traffic such as we have with Canada as
regards our International railroads.
The Germns would keep Germany,
would lose nothing except the right to
Cypress others. would suffer no injus-
tice. Ireland should have Home Rule.
Seek justice for everyone: the Dane Of
North Schleswig: the Finn, the innate,
the Caucasian in Russia. Endeavor
to secure a guarantee of real religious
freedom and fair play, for Catholic,
Protestant. Orthodox, and Jew alike"
