Some people like TO talk and
blow and tell most everything
they know. They like to run
their neighbors down and spread
the gossip over town, no matter
if it's false or true, but then of
course we don't mean you. They
say, my neighbor, cross the
street has got a nose big as a
beet; shesle her home go rather
slack so she can put clothes on
her back. She spends her time
away from home and let's her
children gayly roam and run the
streets by night and day and live
in that neglected way. Of course
it matters not to me, but ain it
awful Mag? That Richard Roe
is far too mean to give his wife
a lima bean. That man would
never spend a cent for which some
day he might repent. | know his
heart is too much like stone to
buy his wife an ice cream cone.
He never writes her while in camp
because he'd have to buy a stamp.
Of course it matters not to me,
but ain it awful Mag? Why. if
| had a man like that I'd beat
him till his nose was flat. !
wouldn't let his bossy talk make
me stand up and walk the chalk;
I'd let him know he's just a prune
and is not worth picayune.
Why, that poor woman's soft as
hash to let her man deal out the
cash. OF course it matters not
to me, but amt it awful Mag?
And so they spend their months
and years in burning other peo-
ple's ears and lastly find that all
their hate was caused by casing
Ger the gate.

special summer training at East.
ern KY, State Normal School,
Richmond for these grades.
Miss Pelly also will return.
She has secured her life certifi-
cate at Western Kentucky State
Normal, Bowling Green, this
summer. Her splendid work
here last year is witness of her
qualification and success as a
teacher of the second grade.
Miss McSpadden, who is to
have first grade comes highly
recommended. She has had sue
cessful experience in teaching.
She not only has a High School
and Academic certificate but al.
so first grade elementary life
certificate from Eastern Tenn.
State Normal School, johnson
City.
Miss Johnson is to have charge
of one of the new departments
added this year-the Kindergar-
ten and will take in little child
rem from ages of 3 to 7years old.
She has made extensive study
and uses the Montessori method.
This is department long need
ed in our city and we hope it will
be well patronized.
Miss Lou Faulkner having been
our successful music teacher for
last two years will again teach
piano. She has been taking
special work this summer at
Louisville Conservatory of Music
and made the highest grades in
her class. We trust she will, as
usual, have as many pupils as she
can teach.
Miss Brown, who formerly
taught at Baptist Institute and
who is well known to all on ac-
count of the splendid work done
by her with her pupils, will teach
expression at our school. We
want to wage all our patrons to
help make this department per-
manent and strong as this is the
first year expression has been
introduced into our school.
Miss Nan Faulkner, who has
been teaching art for the last
three years at Baptist Institute,
will have charge of an art class
at our school. She has taken
special summer work in painting
at Cincinnati and we hope she
will have many new art pupils in
addition to the large number of
her old art class.
Too much praise cannot be
given for the splendid work done
by the Board of Education. They
have secured the best teachers
that could be had and the person
mel of the faculty this year can
not be surpassed by any in the
State. They have worked I'M
ceasingly toward making our
City High School the best posi-
BILE. An addition is being built
to our already large new build
ing, as the rooms were so over
crowded last year.
With these four new rooms,
our splendid faculty, our fine
student body, our enthusiastic
Board of Education and with
hearty cooperation of our citi-
zens, we predict a most success
full year for our City High
School

J. s. DEMANDS RE. a'
 LEASE 0F PRISONERS

WASHINGTON. Feb. 3.-One of tue most serious collateral issues pending between the United States and Ger many when diplomatic relations were broken involves the status of sixty Americans. taken by the German raider from the British steamers Georgic. Mount Temple and Voltaire and held now in German prison camps.
 Among the last diplomatic inter- changes before the break was a de- mand from the United States that the Americans be released. It is supposed that the Spanish minister at Berlin when he takes over American inter ests will continue the negotiations be- gan by Mir. Gerard. So far Germany has shown no disposition to yield. Among Americans on the Georgic was Edward Clark, of Dallas, Texas.

MILITARY CHECKS
 J. $. SA|L|NGS
(By Review Leased Wire)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-Sailings of American merchant vessels for the prohibited war zones were stated of ficially at the state department to have become a military matter. No interpretation was given to indicate whether this means that the ships will be armed. conveyed. or held in port. No final decision seems yet to have been made, but the state depart ment is expressing to shippers the in formal belief that it would be wiser to postpone sailings for the present.
 Whether the government will arm ships or convoy them is a question not finally decided. The navy depart. ment says that while all the guns and material necessary for such armament are ready in the various navy yards, the decision as to the policy of arma- ment rests with the state department
 A definite announcement is expect ed shortly. The state department has been besieged by shipping men seek ing information as to the govern ment's wishes. Now that the major decision is out of the way. collateral issues are expected to follow rapidly.

emperor and opened the conversation by saying:
 "I am very glad to see you gentle men, but what interest can you have in me. l am q private citizen again.
 When aim l going home? l don't know You will have to ask the Swiss minister that. have asked him 10 take charge of our affairs and he will make all the arrangements for my departure"
 The ambassador was told that the United States would take necessary steps to protect American life and propertys on the seas. and was asked what would happen.
 What will happen?" He replied, Il cant say about that. If American warships are going to convoy ships carrying ammunition--well. really-I can't say what will happen"
 He said he expected to stay in Washington for the present because in view of the situation on the sea he did not see how he was going 10 re- turn to Germany.
 The interview over, Count vOn Bern storff went into an adjoining parlor and there conferred for half an hour with William Nye of the United states secret service, who had called to arrange for one of his men to re main constantly with the ambassador during the remainder of his stay in the United States. This step was taken as a measure of personal pro- tection.
 Soon after the ambassador called for his automobile and went for a drive through the parks.
 All business at the embassy. here tofore one of the busiest in Washing ton, ceased abruptly when the word went around that relations had been broken off. For the rest of the day the embassy was as quiet as a private home Clerks and the attaches stood about asking each other how are we, going to get home?"

BRITISH INNSBRUCK
 BY ACTION OF U. s.
(By Review Leased Wire)

LONDON, Feb. 3.-The American rupture with Germany has created the deepest impression here of any event since the first war days of August. 1914. The general feeling is one of satisfaction mixed with a considerable measure of surprise.
 British officials recognize that the new situation brings drawbacks as well as advantages to their inter- ssts. Great anxiety is felt for the welfare of entente prisoners in Ger --anv. who now are deprived of the assistance and measures of guardian ship which the American consular ser vice and embassy have been able to render and doubts are felt whether .L. other neutral establishments will be able to do as much for the in termed civilian and military prison CTS.
 Belgian relief workis faced with the greatest danger. as the withdrawal of the American commission may result
 
 hundreds of thousands face to face with starvation.
 The universal feeling here is that the United States will inevitably be forced into war and the part which she will be able to play therein is the chief topic of discussion, coupled with speculation as to its effect upon the supply Of munitions to Europe.
 The news of the sinking of the American steamer Rousatonic as well as the contents of the. Presidents ad- dress came too late for the evening papers but wherever the sinking of the American vessel was known, it was assumed that it would go far to- ward precipitating war.
 The new German campaign of unre- stricted warfare is regarded here with composure.

There's a model for every taste in our assortment of styles, novelty fashions which not only reflect the present trend of style changes, but an- ticipate next season ideas so that you are assured season able fashions which have been censored by our Designing Staff.
 The ease and grace of our designs-the novelty of finish ed coat backs, and the individ- uality in all little details of 6r- ish cannot be equaIied in any other line.
 This seasons fashion ideas show some slight changes over last season. Narrow la pels are the prevailing style. The lengths of coats are about the same. The form fitting coat at the waist line is still in vogue among the young men. Other models more conserva- tive for those that do not care for the close fitting coat.
 Vests follow the conserva- tive style, as well as the more advance skeleton athletic shoulder ideas-with quite a variety of new fashion fronts just bit different for the young men.
 Trousers for young men are straight lined, the proper knee widths 1872 inches, and the bottom l512 inches.
 For men of more conserva- tive tastes we recommend our regular trousers quite so close ftting-with knee width l912 and bottom Is inches wide.
 We also can give you the very popular style, Medium peg top or full just as you want them.
 Step in at your very first op- portunity and look over the many patterns before they are sold out.

RIO JANEIRO, Feb. 3.-Comment- ing on the German note published here today, Fl Imparcial says: Notwithstanding the idea in herent in the American peace league, under the protection of the United States, it is d right and also a duty to organize common action in America on defense of the imperceptible laws of nations. The German menace can not be allowed by the American na- tions which look to the attitude of the United States as guide of their poli- cy at the present moment" San Francisco Democrat. President Wilson in announcing the beach gives us the hope that it will not lead to a declaration of war. Should it come to this citizens of German decent will not fail in their sacred duty to the country of their adoption.
 Omaha Daily Tribune (German).
 We have duties toward our adopted country. Our allegiance belongs to America, first, last and all the time. These duties we must perform and will perform above all consideration and regardless of what the future may have in store for us. Los Angeles Germania.
 We sand firmly behind the Presi- dent in every effort to keep this coun- try out of war. If fight We must, let us fight our own battle. We are an good American citiZens-free and sovereign-loyal to this country. We owe no other allegiance to any other nation.
 Seattle German Press.
 The national honor of the United States is not at stake. The pro British press of this country does not reflect the sentiment of the country. We do not want war; We want peace. Besides there is no necessity far war. No nation has the duty to protect foolhardy adventurers who insist on presenting themselves as targets to the German bullets.

Receives News Calmly.


 As the talk drifted to expressions of peace and the ambassador expressing the personal opinion that if relations were broken off the two countries might continue in that state, the tele- phone rang. He was quiet moment, then the expression on his face changed.
 You say relations have been brok en and that the President is going to congress? Are you sure? Well, may be that's so. No, l have no comment to make and nothing to say. If that is true I am a private citizen again"
 The ambassador turned to the cor respondent and asked that veriication of the report he had heard be ob- tained This was done and the ahl- bassador quickly walked into the next rooa to carry the news to COu-tess von Bernstorff
 When he came back into his study his eyes were moist and he said:
 50. it really is true. Pm so sorry. However, as you know, I expected It. I never expected anything else.'
 "I never expected anything else. There was nothing left for the United States to do. l wonder how l am go- ing to get home?
 'I suppose I will get my passports any time now. But l certainly am not surprised at the action that has been taken. My people in Berlin will not be surprised either. They knew what was coming when they declared unrestricted submarine warfare. How ever, I have simply been here to car " out the orders of my government and l have done so. I havn't had any communication with my government for the last day or so and now I sup pose I will be unable to communicate with them at all, since the use of my code probably will not be allowed and I could not send messages in plain language"
 It was nearly 2 o'clock when As sistant Wolsey of the state department arrived at the embassy with the am bassador's passports and the note from Secretary Lansing.
 The ambassador. as is the custom, sat down under the portrait of his
