On the western flank, the Ger

double object of attaining the

The latter now constitutes the
boches' principal immediate OBJ

ing their famous infiltration
methods, constituting attacks not
where French resistance is strong,
but seeking out the points where
French electives are fewest, and
then, by means of their vast nu-
merical superiority, enfiltering
into intervening valleys, ravines

they can outflank the French re-

The steady arrival Of French
reserves, however, is strengthen

This is particularly noticeable

S. TAX ON CANNES
Il Suggested by Retiring County
Judge W. II. Rice In Letter to
Hooyer-Says II Would Cause
Conservation Of Food and
Bring Big Income.

Retiring County Judge w. II. Rice
wrote the following letter to Hon.
Herbert Hoover Saturday:
Maysville, KY, January 5, 1918
Hon. Herbert Hoover, Food Admins
traitor, Washington, D. c.
Honored Sir: This is a time when
every one should help you think. We
Americans are in the habit of letting
our leaders do all the thinking, but !
believe in helping them to think.
Did 1t ever occur to you that a five
dollar ($5) per head war tax on dogs
would conserve more food in one week
than the meatless and wheatless days
will in year? 1t would also bring
millions of dollars into the treasury
and not only would it do that, but it
would create sheep industry in this
country thta would not only feed and
clothe our army, but would feed and
clothe our women and children.
Think of the homes where there are
no children but lot of poodles that
are fed better and more than lots Of
our poor children.
Now, I'm not a "knocker" on his
dogship, for he's the best friend God
ever gave man in the animal king
dom, but l want to reinstate him in
his dogship and clean out the worth
less ones as well as conserve the ma
tion's food supply and encourage the
sheep industry of the nation.
With highest personal esteem and
a pledge of loyalty to your system Of
conservation, this is respectfully sub
mitted. Cordially and respectfully
yours,
w. II. RICE,
Judge of the Mason County (Ky.)
Court.

London, January 5--The British
prime minister, David Lloyd George,
today SGT forth Great Britaln's war
aims more specifically and at greater
length, before the delegates Of the
trades unions, than he had ever done
before.
Having first declared that II was
not war Of aggression against Ger
many or the German people and that
the breaking up Of the German peo-
Piles or the dislntergration Of their
state was not one Of the objects for
which the Allies were fighting, he pro-
ceeded to mention the fundamental is
sues for which Britain and her Allies
were contending.
First among these was the restora-
ton of Belgium and reparation for in
juries inflicted. Next came the resto-
ration of Serbia, Montenegro, and the
occupied parts of France, Italy and
Rumania, France must have Alsace-
Lorraine and to this end, said the Pre-
mier( the British nation would stand
by the French democracy to the death.
The question Of Russia was touch
ed upon, and Mr.. Lloyd George said
that Britain, as we'll as America,
France and Italy would have been
proud to fight by the new Russian
democracy, but, now, Russia could
only be saved by her people He de-
clared an independent Poland was an
urgent necessity for the stability OF
Western Europe.
Rumania is to be protected, and the
British and other allies are with Italy
in her desire for complete union Of
the people Of the Italian race ant
tongue. OF Austria Hungary, he
thought that while the breaking up Of
the Dual Kingdom was no part Of the
allied war aims, It was impossible
to hope for the removal of causes Of
unrest in that part of Europe unless
genuine self government was granted
the Austro-Hungarian nationalities.
The Turkish empire, within tn,
homelands of the Turkish race, will
Constantinople as Its capital, may bt
maintained. But the passage between
the Mediterranean and the Black Se'
must be internationalized and neu
tralized, and in the British view, Ara
bia, Armenia, Mesopotamia, Syria ant
Palestine are entitled to recognition
Of their separate national condition.
The matter of the German colonies
all of which are now In the hands o
the Allies, will be placed before con
ference, whose decisions, however
must consider the wishes and inter
ests Of the inhabitants--the future ad
ministration must be acceptable to tn
: various tribes.
The Premier made brief referenc
: to the violation of international la,
committed by Germany, with specia
emphasis on the sea, and the peac
conference, he declared, must not los
|sight of the outrages suffered by Brit
ish and other seamen and the service
J. they had rendered.
No British statesman since the be
ginning of the war has given such
|. detailed and explicit statement of Brit
= aims war aims as contained in tn

ed before the Man Power conferenc
