He was born In Britie'~ Columbia

in the United States. is graduate OF
Harvard University and was sent
abroad upon q scholarship from that
university.
The great underlying theme of his
lecture was Garry On" When he
said, Anyone who Is here in this
wonderful country and isn't 100 per
cent. American / haven't q damned
bit of use for" the applauds were
tremendous.
He went on talking of the pacifists
who want peace at modified German
terms. "They had better go to Ger
many and see the women who are con
sidered nothing but household furni-
ture,' he said. Germany" he went
on later, 'is rotten to the core with
the worst kind of vice. The officers are
filthy brutes and the entire d. coun-
try worships nothing but brute force.
The German Kaiser is worshipped only
because he is typical OF the German
people"
He has seen the great Marshal
Joffre under fire and stated. HE is
even a greater man than you think
him." Joffre stated in talking TO Lieut.

What ere these men who can tell

A little later. he stated, There will
be no peace except an Allied peace
by Allied terms" Applause again
stopped him.
When he was over here in 1915 he
was very much angered at this coun-
try, Cor, he said, You were not awake
to the fact that there was q great
war going on. But today have visit

He then turned to the American
Hungarian Auxiliary and said. Your

I feel for you under the oppression OF

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMTE
IN FRANCE, July 20: (8:20 a. N.
Under pressure from the Franco3
American forces driving through Fera
en- Tardenois, the Germans now face
withdrawal across the Ourcq In the
same costly circumstances that
marked their retirement across the
Marne. The Allied advance. despite
temporary setbacks at some points, Is
generally steady along the three high
ways leading into Fere en- Tardenois
from the south and southwest.
Particularly hard hghting is under
way in the Fere forest, but the Ameri-
cans and French are systemically
cleaning the enemy machine gun nests
out of these woods.
While practically all Of the interior
of the salient is under 1re from allied
artillery and airmen, especially heavy
bombardments are being directed on
Fere en- Tardenois where the German
elaborate railway and highway system
has been practically wiped out. The
boche losses IN this region are stag
gering.
The Tightening of the pocket about
the Crown Princes army Is increasing.
While French, British and Italians are
driving at the wings in the Soisson-
Rheims region, French and Americans
are jamming IN the sides. rendering
the avenue OF withdrawal narrower,
the transport confusion greater and an
additional expanse OF roads and rail-
roads under artillery fire.

The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1918-12-13

That Bourbon county land values
are not decreasing, but rather the
contrary, was illustrated yesterday
morning, when the farm of Mr.. Geo.
W. Redmon, on the Jackstown pike,
was sold at public auction. The sale
was conducted by the real estate firm
of Harris & Speakes, of Paris, George
D. Speakes acting as auctiOneer. d:
There was a good crowd in attend
ance, and the bidding was spirited.
The farm, containing 2O4 acres of
the richest land in the county, was
finally sold to Mr. Edsell Clark, of
near Little Rock, for 1892 an acre,
or total of $67,628.
The farm has been in blue grass
sod since 1871, with the exception
of about thirty acres, which was
broken out of sod and put in corn.
and is now sown to wheat and grass
For fOrty-seven years Mr.. Redmon
bought feed from his neighbors and
every winter fed big bunch of eat
tie. In this way his farm was con-
stantly improved in soil fertility and
is now considered one of the richest
bodies of land in Bourbon county.

1t has been suggested that this
would be an excellent opportunity to
emblazon on the Honor Roll in let
tiers of gold the name of Capt. Reu-
ben Hutchcraft, whose death in
France, added another name to the
list of Bourbon county's honored
dead. He was a distinguished men,
