TRIAL
OF G. WOOD OWENS
IS SET FOR TODAY
Former City Clerk, Under Arrest For
the MisapprOprlatlOn Of Funds and
Embezzlement, to BE Called
For Trial Today.

II is more than likely that the city
Of Maysville will announce not ready
when the examining trial of George
Wood Owens, former City Clerk,
charged with ENLIGHTENMENT and mis-
appropriation of the cltys funds, is
called before Police Judge John L.
Whitaker today.
The auditors who have been at
work on the city's books for the past
two weeks. have not completed their
work to such stage that report
could be made at this time, 1t was
learned yesterday, and for this reason
the city may not be ready to go into
the case.
It is known, however, that during
the past few weeks relatives and
friends of the accused former city Of
ficial~ have been making an endeavor
to raise the sum of money alleged to
be his shortage and it is understood
that as soon as the exact amount of
the alleged shortage is known, those
who have been active in Mr.. Owens
behalf will pay the amount and so far
as the city is concerned, it is thought
the prosecution will be dropped, in
the lower courts.
From the attitude of those interest
ed in raising the money it is not ex-
pected that any defense will be made
when the case is called for trial in
the lower courts today, should the
city be ready to go on with the case.

GERMANY'S BURDENS.

Field Marshal Won Mackensen, who
is watching conditions in Rounlania
and on the Russian border, is quoted
as refusing to- send any of his troops
to the western front owing to the
excited condition Of the conquered
peoples over whom he is keeping
guard.
The assassination of Won -Eichholn
at Kiev calls for new activity on the
part of Lenine and Trotzky in muir
dering the members of the, opposing
factions.
Hunger and disease are adding to
the horrors Of Russian anachy.
The Czecho- Slovaks continue to ex-
tend the theatre of their operations in
Siberia, and rowing bands of the des-
perate and disconnected are appearing
here and there in this great empire of
trouble.
From Finland to the Roumanian
border the old land Of the Cars is
fermenting with revolutionary inn
pulses. The Russian pot is beginning
to boil. Even Won Mackensen Will
have trouble in keeping it from boil
ing over.
Won Eichaorn's loss is blow 1t
the militarists much more bitterly re-
sented than the death of the diplo-
mat, Won Mirbach. The Ukraine COM
mander-in-chief was Hindenburg'
chief coadjutor in the battle OF the
Masurian Lakes, where the Russians
were slaughtered in droves and Duke
Nicholas army was thrust back across
the east Prussian frontier. That
youngster of twenty-three, who con-
fesses to having acted under orders
from communist committee at Mos
cow, should have accomplished the
doughty field marshal's death is fuel
to the fury of the militarists. what
adds to their rage is the necessity OF
withdrawing from the west front any
body of troops at this critical time,
when every ounce Of man power is
wanted. That the advent of ten or
twelve divisions of German troops IN
the irreconcilable regions will be the
signal for an uprising of the peas
antry is not unlikely.
