PEACE ATTITUDE OF
RUSSIA MISCONST RUED
According to Premier Idea of Separate
Agreement Died with old Regime.

Petrograd, April 30.-It is evident
from foreign kilograms that the attl-
tude OF the Russian democracy toward
peace has been misconstrued and dis
torted by the foreign press.
The desire for peace has become
more widespread and articulate since
The revolution, but is based on entire
ly different conceptions from those
entertained during the old regime.
The new conceptions have nothing to
do with premature peace with Ger
many. AS d matter of fact they have
not yet taken any definite form, SINH
ply emanating from the new spirit OF
democracy which wishes to build a
foundation Of a durable world peace.
The idea of a separate peace died
here with the old regime. There is no
talk of this even among the most adj
vanced socialistic factions. These are
eager for peace and favor conference
of the workingmen of the other cOun-
tries at war, but, until such an event
be possible unanimously declare their
, patriotic desire to continue the war.
Speaking on this subject, Premier
Lvoff said:
There has been up to the present
no mention anywhere in Russia of the
peace between Free Russia and the
powers of Teuton militarism. Among
our Socialist party leaders no one has
ever gone so far as to suppose that
any agreement is advisable in this
direction. Representative opinion
abroad should take more calmly some
isolated voices that are asking for i'm
mediate steps in preparation for peace.
Any Russian proposal to this end will
hold it essential that Russia shall act
then as always, in complete harmony
with all the allied nations"

BETTER CAR SUPPLY

Reports from all sources Indicate
an augmented car supply. The
credit for this is, not altogether due
the railroads-the shippers are do
ing their part in handling equipment
promptly and in loading it to full
capacity. With the people behind
them the railroads are able to show
results never before obtained.
The railroads must within the
next 80 days move 1000 men of
the regular army and 100000 men
of the National Guard to their var
ious training camps. Some idea of
this task may be had when it is I'M
derstood that to move merely one
field army of $4,000 men, 1929 cars
made up into 500 trains with 800
locomotives and train crews, are re-
quired. While these troops are being
moved the transportation of COM
mercial freight, war supplies and
passengers must be performed.
AT Louisville cantonment alone
the railroads have delivered from
June Doth to August 23rd, 1,477 cars
lumber and 512 cars miscellaneous
freight, total of 1850. This
2,475 acres of farm lands have with
in something over two months been
transferred into a city of comfort
able buildings, sewerage, electric
lights, telephone exchanges and
splendid roads that will shortly
house 1900 soldiers.
Every possible effort is being
made to increase the movement of
coal. In June the railroads were
able to handle 26 per cent. more
than in June last year. This was
done with an increase of only per
cent. in cars and less than one-half
Of one per cent. in locomotives.

Heart of Presidents
Reply to Pope's Plea

This agony must not be gone through with

ment what will insure against it.
1t is manifest that no part of this program (the
Pope's) can be successfully carried out unless
storation of status quo ante belum furnished firm
and satisfactory basis for it.
The object of this is to deliver the free
peoples of the world from the menace and the
actual power of vast military establishment con-
trolled by an irresponsible government which chose
its own time for war, swept whole continent with

defeated.
This power is not the German people. 1t is
the ruthless master of the German people.
The American people have suffered intoerabe
wrongs at the hands of the Imperial German Gov
eminent, but they desire reprisal upon the Ger

INJUNCTION DISSOLVED

Before Circuit Judge Young at
Morehead last Saturday the case of
Ray Moss, etc, against the County
Board of Education was heard on
motion to dissolve injunction which
had been granted against the Board
by County Judge w. O. Chenault
After hearing the case Judge Young
dissolved the injunction and the
case will at once be appealed to the
Appellate Court for final settlement.
The case involves the right TO elect
teachers at the Consolidated School
at Camargo, the trustees claiming
the right is theirs and the County
Board of Education claiming they
alone have the right to elect. The
Board of Education elected the
teachers without consulting the
trustees and the trustees enioined
the Board from carrying out their
election, and it was this injunction
which was dissolved. There is a
good deal of feeling over the matter
and the outcome is being watched
with much interest,
