DEER HUNTERS LESS.

1t is stated that few deer huning IL
censes are being applied for. Many
OF the hunters have gone to hunt Huns
and then the government is conserv-
ing powder so the deer hunters have
difficulty securing ammunition. II
will be fine for the deer.
The game wardens have been pick
ing up men who are found hunting
without a gun license. They are also
arresting men found in the woods
with rifles. which Is taken as evidence
that they are hunting deer.

staged, so far as the kaiser is con-
cerned.
That naughty Prussianism should
give up its sword of might to the
king of the little kingdom that stood
between barbarism and civilization,
we'll knowing that this stand meant
annihilation, that would be sweet
revenge for humanity.
But what on earth could Albert do
with the sword of Prussia?
The sword that has washed itself
IN the virgin blood of innocent Belgian
Girls; the sword that has hacked the
tiny hands from sucking babes; the
sword that has been boon comrade
with the obscene torch and the devil
,ish gas bomb?
, What would the chivalrous king of
brave Belgium desire of such a
trophy?
What, would any clean handed man
besmirch his good right arm with
the feel of the miserable thing?
We think not.
No, let Prussia's sword rust in it's
clotted scabbard; let it rest in the
deserted halls of Potsdam palace, for
gotten by men and feared by no one
forever more.
Aye, let the fat rats of the royal
sewers nibble at its stainedg rip, and
the clean rust eat it little by little
until it crumbles and disappears; a
relic Of the age of hate, the stained.
clotted, cruel symbol of what freemen
have blotted from the earth.

ANSWERED PRESIDENTS POLL
TICAL CALL.

The elections are over and the re-
turns are practically complete The
President has received fitting ans
wer to his call for the election of a
democratic house and senate. He
first said that this was no time for
partisan politics and then when cleo
ton came around called on the people
of the various states to elect demo-
cratic senators and representatives
as the return of anything else would
be slam so to speak = at him IN
the eyes of the world.
And this statement was made right
in the face of the greatest support,
ever given a president by the oppos-
ition party. 1t is to the republicans
that President Wilson owes the sue
cess of many of his most important
war measures. In the vote in the
senate the Republicans in almost
every case were the leaders and gave
the largest vote to the measures the
president wanted passed. And for
this reason we say that he got mt
ting answer to his endeavor to in
fluence the voters by personal ap-
peal, and the house went Republican
by about forty votes. The Senate
is reported as 49 Republican and At
Democrats, with one to hear from.
The vote on the important war
measures passed is given below and

In connection with Mr.. McAdoo's
remark that it was President Wilson
who forced unifcation of command
on the western front, the following
telegram from Marshall Foch to
David Lloyd George may also interest
you. 1t is in reply to Lloyd Georges
to Marshall Foch on
his 9th birthday and is as follows:
Congratulations and thank you sim
cerely. do not forget that 1t IS
TO YOUR INSISTANCE that owe
the position which occupy today.
The sure sign Of the glorious days
awaiting our .armies is to be found in
the perfect unity which exists now
between all the allied forces"
President Wilson has had some very
good legislation pashed but we be- |
lieve in giving credit where credit is
due in every case. And in case OF the
war legislation the Republicans were
the real fighters for the war meas |

WORST SVER
FLEET IN LOCAL HARROR, VAL.
UED AT $35O,OOO, REMAINS
SAFE.
Much Apprehension Felt Yesterday
Morning When River Rose Rap
idly-Water Began to Recede
at 11:2O A. NJ. After
Reaching Stage Of
44S Feet.

II was not until yesterday after
noon that the boats anchored In the
Maysville harbor were pronounced as
practically out of danger from the
ice.
A steady rise In the river yesterday
morning made rivermen fear that the
derrick boat and barge which had
lodged against one of the ice piers
would come over the top Of the pier
and tear everything away below. But
at 11:20 o'clock the river reached its
maximum stage of 44.S feet, and soon
after began to recede.
A gorge in the ice at Fernbank
Dam, near Cincinnati, yesterday af-
ternoon again caused the river to rise
here for time, but the ice finally
broke and the river again began to
recede.
Because of the swift current all the
government boats kept up full steam
all day yesterday and last night to
relieve the tension on the big cables
which held the boats to the shore.
The ice in the river began thinning
out considerable shortly after noon
yesterday and although there is still
some ice in the river this morning, it
is nothing as compared with yester-
day.
No effort will be made by any of the
government boats to move out today
as there is nothing they can do to re-
lieve the situation.
The two steel barges which were
cut away Tuesday night to prevent
the entire fleet from being carried Out
into the stream, lodged in the shore
ice just west of the city and were tied
up yesterday morning.
The spectacle of the moving ice car.
rying with it river craft of all kinds
was viewed by nearly every person ii
the city yesterday. 1t is thought that
fully seventy-five barges have passed
this city since the breakup on Tues
day night.
| According to statement made by
Captain C. M. Phister, owner Of the
ferry and wharf boats, the govern
ment boats and barges in the harbol
here are easily worth 100000 at the
present price of material. These
boats, together with other craft
would make the valuation of all boats
here at about $35O,OOO.
A dozen or more ferryboats, many
wharves and other landing property
between Maysville and Huntington
w. Va. have been carried away ant
ground into wrecks by the churnins
ice Property damage of more thar
million dollars has been reported
from this section alone.
