i. s. ASKS AID
FOR RUSSIANS
America Seeks Support in
Quelling Reign Of Terror
in Petrograd.

The Secretary Of state has sent the
following telegram to asi~=Americap
ambassadors - save those in London
and Paris-and ministers in the allied
and. neutral countries:
This government Ii in receipt OF
information from reliable sources re-
vealing that the peaceable Russian
citizens OF Moscow, Petrograd and
other cities are suffering from an
openly avowed campaign of mass ter
rorism, and are subject to-~wholesale
executions. Thousands Of persons
have been shot without even a form
OF trial; ill-administered prisons are
filed beyond capacity and every night
scores OF Russian citizens are reckless
ly put to death, and irresponsible
bands are venting their brutal pas
sions in the daily massacre OF untold
innocents.
I'm view of the earnest desire OF
the people Of the United States to
befriend the Russian people and
lend them all possible assistance in
their struggle to reconstruct their
nation upon principles OF democracy
and self-government and acting
therefore solely in the interest of
the Russian people themselves, this
government feels that 1t cannot be
silent or refrain from expressing its
horror at this existing state Of ter
rorism. Furthermore it believes
that in order successfully to check
the further increase of the indis-
criminate slaughter of Russian citi-
zens all civilized nations should
register their adherence of such
barbarism.
You will inquire, therefore,
whether the government to which
you are accredited will be disposed
to take some immediate action,
which is entirely divorced from the
atmosphere of beliigerency and the
conduct Of war, to impress upon the
perpetrators of these crimes the
aversion which civilization regards
their present wanton acts"

Much more attention is paid here to

The offer to Belgium Is in effect a
disguised proposal to France involv-
ing Germany's giving up most Of the
occupied territories in the West. be-
cause the proposal to withdraw from
Belgium implies military and strate-

I understand the fat Belgian re-

Thus another German plot TO

ton and upset the morale of France
has fallen to the ground.

florence Against Bolshe-
wiki Depradations.

\ The United States Government
took steps yesterday to end the
reign of terror in Russia by having
all the civilized nations of the world
express their horror at the crimes,
prosecutions and murders that have
made that unhappy land run red
with human blood.
Secretary Lansing made the move
in a note addressed TO the Ameri-
can Ambassadors and Ministers in
all the allied and neutral countries.
save Great Britain and France. The
latter already have protested
against conditions in Russia.
The State Departments message

titude this country takes, and an in
vitation 20 all other allied and
neutral countries ito take some i'm
mediate action to impress upon the
perpetrators of these crimes the

CARDS their present wanton acts"
AS the message clearly points out
there is no intention to embroil
neutrals in the war, nor is there
anything warlike in the expression
of this country. 1t is simply a call
to humanity and civilization to reg
lister its adherence at the barbar-
ism now raging in Russia
Expect Replies.

to conditions, this Government write:

CHANGES IN CUMBERLAND TEL
EPHONE FORCES.

Several changes have been made
recently in the Office and working
forces Of the Cumberland Telephone
60. Miss Lillian e. Bradley, who
mas been the capable Chief Clerk to
Manager Floyd, has been transferred
to Louisville, where she takes an i'm
portant clerical position in the Cum
berland Office. Miss Bradley made
many friends here, and personally she
regrets leaving Paris, whose people,
In her own words, "are among the
best and most considerate and the
most cordial in their business and
social relations of any 1 have ever
known"
Miss Bradley has been succeeded
here as Chief Clerk by Mrs. Jimmie
Whaley. Miss MarcelIa Ryan will be
her capable assistant Both have had
large business experience under capa-
bic instructors and will be valuable
assistants to Manager Floyd.
Mr.. j. N. Kirkpatrick has resigned
as Wire Chief for the Cumberland
at this place, to accept a similar po-
sition with the Fayette Home Tele-
phone Co., at Lexington. Mr.. j. H.
Neal, who was formerly with the
local forces, has been recalled from
Ashland to fill the vacancy created
by Mr.. Kirkpatrick's departure.

NOTICE TO, SUBSCRIBERS

More or less complaint has reached
THE NEWS about the irregularity
of the delivery of papers this year,
especially from subscribers at a dis
lance. Every effort is made in this
Office to get the. papers mailed
promptly on Monday and Thursday
nights of each week, preceding the
day Of issue, and they have never
been known to miss connection"
with the poStoffice.
Their failure to reach subscribers
may be due to the congested condi-
ton of the mails and the usual
practice of the railway mail clerks
to neglect newspaper mail. Some
times the address may be illegible.
Subscribers are invited to drop us a
card or telephone us whenever the
paper fails to reach them within a
day or two of the usual time, and an
extra copy will be mailed them, if
any are left in the Office at the time.
The same thing applies to the city
carrier service. THE NEWS feels
that it has a faithful and efficient
staff of carriers, and complaints lodg-
ed against them are always investi-
gated. The result has been in most
cases in their favor. Passers-by are
tempted to pick UP papers belong
ing to subscribers; they may be
blown away by the wind, and any
number Of other causes contribute to
the few complaints that reach us.
We are inclined to give the carriers
the benefit of the doubt. At any
rate, we will gladly send copies to
those who have missed getting their
papers regularly on Tuesday and Fri
day mornings.
The requirement Of the Govern
ment that the paper be sent only to
those who pay for it in advance will
force us to discontinue the paper
when the time paid for expires.
Hence. if you do not want to miss a
copy you should see to it that your
renewal reaches us in time to keep
i us from being forced to drop your
name from the list.

had been taken in on the checks

tice. But he is still at large and the
merchants are out several dollars

FORMER RACING JUDGE DIES AT
MT. STERLING.

Col. A. w. Hamilton, aged seventy.
died at his home in Mt. Sterling.
wednesday night, after three
days illness due to uraemic poison
ing. Col. Hamilton was for many
many years engaged as presiding
Judge at the Los Angeles and Chi
cago race tracks, and was widely
known in thoroughbred circles
throughout the country. For many
years he was a leader in Democratic
politics and at one time was cam,
didate for United States Senator.
In his youth Col. Hamilton was a
resident of Paris. where he received
the rudiments of an educational
training in the old Bourbon Acad-
envy. He resided many years I'm
Paris, where he was always known
as "Bill'' Hamilton. His mother
resided in the old brick building on
the coruner of Main and Eighth
streets, which was torn down some
years ago to. give way to the pres
ent Nicely fiat building on the site.
MRS. Hamilton was very Jealous ad-
herent of the Confederate cause, and
spent a large portion of her time In
making creature comforts and
clothes for the soldiers. A company
OF home guards. organized here for
the protection of the people against
Federal raids, was named the Hamfl-
ton Guards in her honor.
The present city editor of THE
NEWS, while engaged in newspaper
work on the Mt. Sterling papers
years ago, delighted in hearing Col.
Hamilton recall in a most vivid man
ner the stirring scenes of his boyhood
spent in Paris, and of incidents that
happened here while he was a resi-
dent of Paris. He was a man of de-
l1ghtful personality and had a host
of friends who sincerely regret his
passing.
