BIG PURCHASE OF MULES.

a carload of mules, for which the
purchaser, Mr.. G.. w. Jordan, of
Hawesville, Georgia, paid from s215
to S240 per head, was disposed of
here by the livestock firm Of Cay
wood, Smith & McClintock. The
mules were shipped to Mr.. Jordan 5
stable at HaweSville.
Mr.. Jordan stated to the members
Of the firm that it is getting hard
TO purchase big lots of mules in Cen
trail Kentucky now, and that these
necessary farm animals are getting
scarce, due probably to demands on
the supply for army purposes. A
large crop of cotton and corn will
be planted in the South this spring,
according to Mr.. Jordan, and this
will mean that the South will be a
larger buyer of mules in this mar
ket if they can be obtained.

SOME WINTER WEATHER

Kentucky has doubtless seen bit
Ter winter weather like the present
spell, but THE NEWS has been un-
able to find any of the oldest in
habitants" whose keen memory of
dates and occurrences could recall
IT. Nothing like il can be recalled
by very many of present genera
ton.
Snow has succeeded snow until
the very topmost crust of the North
Pole seems to have slipped its
mornings and landed plump in the
land of bluegrass. Zero weather
has become to common that the sa-
luton How is the thermometer
this morning" generally elicits the
reply, "Oh. just roundabout ten
below zero!"
Since last Sunday, when the mer-
curry played the deuce in the deck to
the extent of dropping to 19 de-
grees below zero, every day has wit
messed zero weather, varying from
three to eight below. Yesterday
kept up the average. the temperature
cuddling in the bottom at about
eight below.
AS usual, the gas pressure was
somewhat weak, though Paris has
been a little bit more fortunate than
some other cities in Central Ken
lucky. where complaints of an al
most total lack of pressure were
made.
1t should be great consolation
to the Paris and Bourbon county
people in Florida to know they are
escaping the rigors and discomforts
Of one of the bitterest winters Ken
lucky has experienced in many
years.

Before studying In detail the diff
ferent branches of service In the
French army, 1t Is indispensable to
make q rapid analysis of modern war
fare in order to understand the in
PRODUCTION of appliances and methods
previously unknown. Fighting to-
day owes It's characteristics IA to
the perfecting OF war material and
ornaments dating from before the
war; (2) to all the inventions which
have sprung up in the actual course
of this war
"a The considerable progress In
ornaments since the War of Seces-
sion has profoundly changed the
style of Rghting on account of the
increase in range, in power and In
rapidly OF Are The increase In
range, especially for artillery, causes
the engagement to begin from a
greater distance, say 5000 meters,
farther back than formerly, and there
results an increase IN the length of
battles. There may also be an In
crease in the spacing of the lighting
units, without preventing their mu-
tual aid, and so the width of the
fighting front may be extended.
The increase In power and rapldity
is such that every objective within
sight is Immediately destroyed or
rendered harmless, and the battle
field Is thus cleared. To go for
ward. one is obliged to avoid the ex-
posed spots and to utilize narrow
paths of advance; frontal attack then
becomes dificult and armies rely on
enveIoping movements Rapid fire,
however, consumes such q quantity OF
munitions that 1t cannot be kept up
without intervals SO the firing is
done by bursts which are extremely
violent but of limited duration and
separated by periods of relative calm.
In order to advance, it is necessary
to reduce the fire of the enemy and
attain superiority over him,
which is called preparing the attack.
To-day every attack which is not
prepared for by artillery is doomed
to defeat That is, the artillery must
attack everything that would pre-

THE CAVALRY

The cavalry is coming into its own
again. For months, even years, of this
world war the infantry and the artil-
lery have borne the burden of the bat
tie. When great armies began to dig
in, the deadlock of the(trenches could
DC broken only by concentrated artil-
iery fire and infantry charges.
The infantry rejoiced. Its self-be-
slowed title, queen of the Service, p
seemed secure. 1t was the day of the
dough-boy.
Meantime, back of the lines in
France, the British cavalry was held
intact. Its confident leaders antici-
patcd a day when the fight would be
forced into the open and the cavalry
would find its tactics called into play.
The artillerymen smiled and the in
tantryman-you could not blame them
laughed
Then the tanks came into being and
1t seemed as if the cavalry would have
no opportunity.
When the American divisions were
concentrated, proud old cavalry units
became machine gun battalions or
headquarters troops, or military po-
lice.
In the vicinity of Cambria. General
Byng launched sudden offensive. The
Hindenburg line was pierced by his

Public prints are full today of stor-
les of valor. The men who dare and
die in the trenches thrill us by their
defiance of danger. But what Of those
who stay at homer
w. ]. Dawson, of Newark, N. H.. has
directed the thoughts of American
parents to their own lives. He has
given three SONS to the great cause.
As they went, one after the other, he
became temporarily embittered. II
seemed to him that the world had
gone mad and that civilization had
collapsed.
Then he went TO the front to see
for himself. His son, Coningsby
Dawson, in his book, Garry On" had
told how he had come in battle to be-
hold the grandeur of the human soul.
The older Dawson was not convinced
When he saw, all his bitterness van
ished. This is Whist nc wrote: What
ever happened, this was TO be my i'm
tnitigable duty, to be worthy Of my
sons and worthy of the great cause to
which they were devoted"
ITO be worthy of MY sons"-As
you read that line does it not make
you pause and examine yourselves?

tiaily OF the sons that have gone ia

smashing tactics, and the Huns were
forced into the open. 1t was the day
of the cavalry again.
True to their traditions as mop
pers up" they added the finishing
touches to the enemy retreat, inflict-
ing terrible losses. What happened
after that is a War Office secret.
Whether it was an offensive born be-
fore its time was not known; but the
advantage gained was not held.
Yet from the day of the cavalry's
temperance near Cambria, orders
went forth to strengthen this arm of
the service
1t was with a thrill and yearning
the old cavalry officers in this coun-
try learned of the plans to create new
mounted units in the proud old arm.
One after another they welcomed the
call to train cavalry units and prepare
them for service overseas.
In The British service, every cavalry
officer wears chain arnor upon his
shoulders, just few links-but those
links are to the great and glorious
past-the day of the knights and of
the Christian Crusades.
The traditions of the cavalry that
make it the proudcst arm of the serv-
ice will inspire the Knights of the
New Day to deeds of valor in this
new Crusade for Righteousness.
