WINCHESTER IS NEAR VICTIM
FROM TETANUS GERMS

Winchester, KY, November rs -
Winchester school children came
near being victims of an alleged Ger
man plot to cause widespread in
lection from tetanus germs, and only
the timely action of local druggists
and physicians prevented many
deaths from the dread disease. Vac
cine points received at local drug
stores were found to be infected with
the germs, and although they had
been used on no patients, one promi-
nent physician had purchased 10
boxes of the points for his practice
The infection of the points is attrib-
uted here to the work of German
plotters in the laboratory where they
were made.

There seems to be an impression
In some quarters that the. registra-
ton OF women has something to do
with suffrage. This Is absolutely not
the case. There is no connection
whatver. II Is an order Of the Sec
rotary Of War acting through the
Council of National Defense and the

No successful business can be run
without statistics. The government
Is gathering data in regard to trans

and right here II may be mentioned
as an interesting and painful problem
that we and our allies need to draw
about six million tons Of sugar from
sources producing about five and a
half million!
Instead of cutting the cakes, ladies',
let US cut them out.
Remember In saving,
Little grains Of sugar
Little drops Of grease,
You spare the nation hunger
And lead the way to peace.

banker wrote seven years ago:
THAT is the future of war, not fight

and the breaking of the their whole
social organization
This must be prevented at all costs,
so Uncle Sam must marshal his re-
sources, balance his assets against
his liabilities, muster his munitions,
money, men and live stock generally.
So, women, stand up and be count

may not find himself In the plight OF

FIRST SEA-GOING
SUMMARIZED 1918
Congressman Gardner Assails
Administration for Delay on
Naval Construction.

In case of war this country would
have to wait until March. 1918, for
its first submarine OF the type OF the
C-53. which visited Newport last sum-
mer, Congressman Gardner of Mas
sachusetts, sah yesterday. criticising
Democrats for delay in obtaining con-
tracts for the three-year navy pro
gram.
THE delay" he said. sis nothing
new. = am sorry to say IL went on
also in the days of Mr.. Daniels pre-
decessors. But that was before the
European war awoke us from our
dreams.
That is no excuse whatever for
Mr.. Daniels. Not counting submarines
authorized last year we have now
thirty submarines building under con-
tract. The shortest contract Is TWEEN
ty months. The longest is three
years. Just think of It.
Long Delay.
''In March, 1915, seven months after
the European war began, Secretary
Daniels actually made three-year con-
tracts for the building OF our first
seagoing submarine-the Schley. This
means II will be March. 1918, over a
year from now, when we commission
our very first submarine OF the class
OF the U-53, which visited Newport
last summer.
I'VE seem to be- two jumps behind
in everything. Our first battle cruis-
er will not be completed until 1921
just thirteen years after Great Brit
tain completed her first battle cruis-
ers
"our naval air servee is ridiculous.
The destroyers and the submarines
which are building in Government
yards are far more delayed than those
authorized at the same time which
are building In private yards. The
Goverr/lent yards ought to be way
ahead OF the private yards in the mat
ter of rapidity of construction, but
the Navy Department seems to have
no business foresight
Only Destroyers Completed.
"of all the naval vessels authorized
during President Wilson's Admins
tration, only four small destroyers
have yet been completed. Not q bat
tleship, not a. battle cruiser. not a
scout cruiser, not even q submarine
has been finished.
Secretary Daniels was dead right
in two of his suggestions to the COM
mittee, but 1 am afraid he did not
press them. The committee turned
him down. The Secretary asked for
