Despite Fact That Many

The most notable feature OF the year
1918 in swimming was undoubted-
~ the brillirnt progress made By
Americas fair natators and their cor
sequent rise to all round world lead
eTshlp IN water sports. But hardly
less noteworthy was the remarkable
work accomplished by our watellnen.
VINO placed to -Shcir credit long string
OF iconoclastic feats, although most of

able TO compete only occasionally OF
not ST all.
Men contestants, in fact. shattered
more records Tor regulation events
than did the girl stars, officially ac-
counting for fifteen 10 the latters'
twelve. But this was due chiefly TO
lack OF opportunity on the part OF the
mcrmaids to attack some Of the stand
ards under favorable conditions, and
one has only 10 glance at the great
slices cut out OF most Of the beaten
marks TO be convinced. For instance,
Mrs. Claire Galiigan, OF this city,
brought down, by She huge margin of
nearly two minutes, both the half and
one-mile figures. while Miss Eleanor
Smith, OF Columbus, Ohio. clipped 3 25

APPEALS FOR RELIEF
 OF POGRAM VICTIMS

Stockholm, Tuesday, Dec. 16.-(By The Associated Press.)-Dr. Ehren- preis, chief Rabbi of Stockholm, has requested Ira N. Morris, the Ameri- can minister to transmit to Jacob H.. Schiff, of the Jewish relief distribu- tion committee in New York, the fol- lowing appeal:
 "The needs of victims of Pogroms in Galicia are appalling. The situation in Lemburg, is especially terrible. Thousands of families are homeless and there are numberless old and sick persons without shelter and exposed to the severe winter weather. Countless orphans of Pogrom victims are help less. Immediate help is urgently re- quired."
 The Stockholm committee has tele- graphed more than 5000 Austrians crowns to the sufferers and additional funds are being collected. Dr. Ehren- preis is a native of Lemburg. In his message to Mr. Schiff, he suggests the sending of Scandinavian Jewish committee to Lemburg personally to distribute any funds collected in the United States.

GOVERNMENT CLOSES
 IN TRIAL Of BERGER

Chicago, Dec 1s.-4The government closed it's case in the trial of Victor l.. Berger, of Milwaukee, and four oth- CT socialist leaderS, charged with conspiracy to violate the espionage law. After Judge Landis denied a motion to take the case from the jury and discharge the defendants, the so- cialists began the presentation of their case by calling Adolph Germer, Gen. eral Secretary of the National Soc1a- list Party, one of the defendants. as the first witness.
 Counsel for the deefnse asked to have certain government testimony bearing on the qustion of conspiracy excluded from the record, and Judge Landis reserved his decision on the motion.
 Germer said he was born in East Prussia, Germany, 36 years ago, and was brought to this country by his parents in December, 1888. His father was coal miner, and the family set tied in Braceville, Ills. He joined the United Mine Workers of America in 1904, and held various official posi- tions in the organization. He was state organizer in West Virginia, Colorado, and Oklahoma, at different times. He described details of the national so- cialist party's organization and told of John Spargo's resigning from the executive committee after the St. Louis convention in May, 1917, when the party adopted the proclamation of war program which caused factiOnal strife in the organization.

JACK DEMSEY MUST
 LIVE TO CONTRACT

New York, Dec. 1S.-Justice Geig- erich, in the supreme court here to- day, upheld a. three-year contract be tween Jack Dempsey, heavyweight pugilist, and John Reisler, giving the latter exclusive control of Dempsey's s coxing contests and exhibitions.

Denying motion by the fighters counsel to dismiss the com- plaint, the court held that the agree ment, under which Dempsey was to appear exclusively under Reisler's management until December, 1919, was legal, inasmuch as it was made when boxing and sparring contests were legal in New York, if conduct ed under the rules of the State Ath- letic Association.

Washington, Dec. lS.--Inc annual posoffice appropriation bill carrying a total of s357 1850 ,000 was passed late today by the house with an amendment requiring the postmaster general to use army aviators for mail air planes instead of organizing separ- ate postal flying corps. This is the first of the 1920 supply measures to be nassed by the house and 1t now goes to the senate.
 Washington, Dec. lS.-Supporters of the amendment providing that air mail plares shall be operated and maintained by thc 1ersorhe. Of the army air service, under the dircc'irn of the postmaster gencral,' argued that unde: his pl;.a operation # me service would be less expensive ard that at the same time opportunity would be given to train aviators Tor the army. Opponents contended that the division of authority between the postoffice and war departments would interfere with the successful opera tion of the service.
 Other provisions of the bill direct that the Secretary of War shall turn over immediately to the postoffice de- partment more than 200 airplanes for extension of the service. he maci:i- nes specified include 100 DeHavi- land fours, 100 Handley-Paiges and ten Glenn Martin day bombers. Che hundred and seventy engines also would be furnished the postoffice de ! pertinent.
 Tue provision requiring that army aaviators operate the machines was offered by Representative -Greene, of Iowa, Republican, as a substitute for a section of the bill proposing all appropriation of $2,1s5N0O for the purchase of planes by the Postmaster General. MT. Greens amendment was adoted by vote of 96, to .sS2 Later, Representative Ayers, of Kan- sas, Democrat, sought to recall the bill for the purpose of eliminating the amendment, but his motion was ruled out of order.

SOUTHERN SENATORS FIGHT ENACTMENT 0f
 A CHILD LABOR LAW
Amendment Proposes Tax of Ten Per Cent on Profits of Products of Child Labor.

Washington, Dec. 18.-Adoption of a committee amendment imposing a ten percent tax on profits from child labor products entering 1nrersrate commerce, was the only action by the Senate today on the war revenue bill. The vote on the amendment was 50 to 12 with Democrats casting all the negative votes. 4
 Debate on this contested provision and the two hours unexpected discus sion of other subjects delayed prog ress~On the bill, but leaders still hope for it's passage by next Monday with a view to securing an extended recess over the holidays. Tomorrow, the Senate plans to takv up the amend ment for repeal next July 1st, of the existing zone system of second class postage rates and substitution of a modified zone system. Several Sena- tors expect to deliver speeches on this subject.
 The child labor ameidment, drafted jointly by Senators Pomerene, of Ohio, Lenroot, of Wisconsin, and Ken yon, of Iowa, is designed to replace the child labor law declared uncon- stitutional by the supreme court. Senators Hardwick, of Georgia, and Overman, of North Carolina, led the fight on it and on the Toll call these senators voted against its adoption.
 Bankhead, of Alabama; Beckham, of Kentucky; Hardwick, of Georgia; :; Martin, of Kentucky; Overman, of North Carolina; Pollock, of South Carolina; Simmons of North Carolina; Smith, of Georgia; Smith, of South Caorlina; Thomas of Colorado; Under wood, of Alabama, and Williams, of Mississippi.
 The amendment which will go to conference when the Senate passes the revenue bill is said to have President Wilson's approval.
 Constitutional qustions principally were raised by Senators speaking against the amendment. They also de- clared that it's primary purpose is not to raise revenue, but to meet the decls' ion of the supreme court in holding the child labor act unconstitutional.
 An amendment to the postal zone section of the revenue bill was intro duced today by Senator McKellar, of Tennessee. It provides for a zone sys- tenn with the committees provision, for rate of one cent pound for the first 150 miles retained. In lieu Of the rate of 1-2 cents beyond that limit the amendment provides for addition al zones with graduated increase in rates, the maximum being six cents a pound for second class mail matter sent 1,S00 miles or more.

James Mckenzie Brown, the
only son of our excellent Post
msster, Mrs. Cleo Williams
Brown, has again been honored
by the British Government. In
the very beginning CT the war
between our Allies and Germany,
he entered the British Army as
a private. His com handing ap-
pearance and strong mental
powers soon won for him a pro
molten and he was made Sub
Lieutenant and afterward was
elevated to the office of Captain,
and now the good mother re-
ceives the joyous news that he
has been promoted to the rank of
Major.
Major Brown is a Rockcastle
boy, although he was born in
Lancaster. When a little more
than two years of age he was
brought to Mount Vernon with
his mother, who was made wild
ow by the sudden death of hel
husband, the young and brillian,
attorney of Garrard, nJames Har'
vey Brown. Major Brown is in
charge of the English Forces al
Mesopotamia, which lies between
the Tigress and Euphrates River
A short time ago the King OF
the British Empire bestowed or
Major Brown the title of sd. S.
o., which means "Distingulshed
Service Order" For good work
under shell and rifle" This is a
title of honor which every Eng.
lish soldier is exceedingly anxiou.
to get and which few obtain.
