material change, as the President has
rfgidly set his face against amend
ments and nearly all the proposed
changes were defeated in the Senate.
Speedy action on the bill was forecast in
the House. Chairman webb Of the judi
ciary committee. who will be In charge Of
the bill. said an effort will Be made to

Reasons Assigned by Directors.

The senators who continued their
opposition to the finish have based
their attitude on the argument that
the bill confers unnecessary autocratic
powers upon the President and is un-
constitutional.
Administration leaders championed
the measure consistently and would
not agree to any amendments limiting
tire Presidents authority. During the
concession would have to be made.
They found. however. that the Presi-
dent insisted upon passage of the bill
without substantial change from the
form in which he sent it to Senator
Oyerman last February, after the SEN
ate military committee virtually had
decided to recommend legislation for
war cabinet and munitions director
as the result Of its war inquiry.
AS passed by the Senate, the bill
authorizes the President to make
such redistribution Of functions among
executive agencies as he may deem
and consolidate any executive or ad-
ministrative commissions, bureaus,
agencies, Offices or officers now exist
ing by law, to transfer any duties or
powers from one existing department
or to transfer the personnel thereof"
These powers, however, shall be ex-
ercised only in matters relating to the
conduct of the present war;
The measure also provides that II
the President believes any agency
should be abolished he shall report to
for transfer Of appropriations in any
reorganization. limiting their expendi-
ture to the purposes specified by Con-
YreR4.

GOT THREATENED RAISE CUT

Judge T. A. Rice, County Attorney
T. ]. Hill. Jr.. and Mr.. J. s. Hooker
went to Frankfort Thursday and APP
peared before the State Tax Commits
sion, M. NJ. Logan, chairman, in be-
half of Lincoln county. In a letter
to Judge Rice. which appeared in
Tuesdays l. ]. Mr.. Logan wrote that
Lincoln county would be raised on
her lands 5000, 9Q0:=sn town lots
s125 900 and on tangible property
100000 unless her supervisors made
raise to aggregate tat amount The
gentlemen must have put strong
arguments, for they got the promise
from the board that the threatened
raise would be cut down 100000.
This is good work on the part Of the
three gentlemen and their services
should not be forgotten. The board
of supervisors will now govern them
selves accordingly and very probably
will make sufficient raises to prevent
the State Board taking action.

ABOUT YOUR SEED CORN

The seed corn situation is more
serious than ever known before.
Tests have now been made in all the
Blue Grass counties and not one far
mer in twenty has corn fit to plant.
The excessive cold in December has
killed the germ in corn just as it has
in the peach and other fruits. Your
corn may look dry and sound and
still this germ be killed. The Allies
are now about 400,000,000 bushels
of wheat short of their needs. The
wheat crop of 1918 will have to be
used to supply this shortage. We
must have corn to take the place of
this wheat. There is very little of the
1917 corn crop fit for bread and
what there is will in July be higher
than you ever saw it before. The
1918 corn crop bids fair to be worth
So per bushel this fall. We must pro-
duce bumper crop. The man who
fails to plant, good seed is helping
the Kaiser. No true, patriotic, liberr
ty loving AmerieanAcan afford to
neglect testing his seed corn. It takes
corn to produce pork, it takes corn
to produce beef In fact, corn is the
very basis of our food supply. Are
you going to take chance on LOSING
YOUR corn crop by planting bad seed?
If you will wait until later and find
that your seed is bad you will not be
able at that time to buy any that is
good. What are you going to do?
Help the Kaiser or help Uncle Sam?
Bring your corn to the courthouse
and have it tested free.

THE LATEST WAR NEWS

Following terrific artillery storm
which lasted FIVE hours. German
troops attacked British lines in and
near the Cambria sector Yesterday
over a fifty-mile front. The assault
was made on a scale hitherto un-
precedented during the war. Por-
tons of the British positions were
penetrated, but the Germans paid a
heavy price for the grain in dead and
wounded. The attack was not unex-
pected, and Andrew Bonar Law told
the House of Commons that there
was no occasion for alarm.
Sensitiveness is displayed by the
German Imperial Chancellor, Count
Won Hertling, over the declination Of
the United States and the Entente TO
accept as its face value Germany's
last proffer of peace Running the
gamut from Germany's good inten-
tons to the fate that ultimately will
befall the Allies for their refusal to
be taken in by Germany's sweetened
words, the Chancellor repeated the
well-worn edmonton that for all
future bloodshed the Allies must ac-
cept full responsibility. Hertling ex-
pressed great concern and regret
wv NiiN AVilNiAlNllH III lNANSltts Nt-
clariug that the Slav republic would
be liberated by Germany.
The United States and her asso-
ciates in the war have come into ap-
proXimately 100000 tons Of much
needed shipping with which to aid in
prosecuting the war against the leu
tonic Allies. Having been unsuccess-
fnl in perfecting arrangements with
the Netherlands Government for the
taking over of Dutch vessels lying
in American and allied ports, the
United States and Great Britain have
ordered all such vessels seized in qc-
cordance with international law and
put into service for the benefit Of
the Allies. Holland, in the face of
German threats and intimidations.
long had hesitated voluntarily to re-
linquish the desired mercantile ma
rine. and nothing remained but for
the United States and Great Britain
to act within their sovereign rights
and seize the ships, full compensa-
ton for the use or destruction of
which is to be given.

INTEREST INCREASING NIGHTLY

The interest in the Bible Institute
now being conducted by Evangelist
Oliver l.. Denslow continues to in
crease from night to night. The SUBJ
iect Tuesday night proved to be an
intensely interesting one. 1t was "The
Kaiser's World Empire Doomed"
From the second chapter Of Daniels
book of prophecies Mr.. Denslow
found positive proof that there
would never again be universal
kingdom dominating the whole
world.
"Six hundred years before the
birth of our Lord" declared the
speaker, "Nebuchadnezzar, king of
Babylon, sat upon the throne of uni
versal dominion bearing sway over
all the civilized world. One night as
he retired to rest he began to think
of the future wondering what should
come to pass hereafter. That night
God gave him a dream in which the
history of the world was plainly fore
told. He saw an image divided into
four parts; the head was of gold.
the breast and arms of silver, the
sides of brass, the legs of iron and
the feet and toes of iron and clay.
In the Interpretation of the dream by
Daniel, the King learned that there
would be a succession of kingdoms.
His kingdom would go down before
a second, and this in turn before a
third, and the third before fourth.
The fourth kingdom would be broken
up into fragments or several smaller
Kingdoms which would never again
be united even as iron will not mix
with miry clay"
Continuing the evangelist called
attention of history showing how his
tory had fulfilled every prediction of
the prophecy. Ancient Babylon fell
before the Medo-Persian kingdom
this in turn before the Grecian king
dom, the Grecian Kingdom before
the Roman, then last of all the Ro-
man kingdom was broken up into
ten smaller Kingdoms and no man
has ever come on to the stage of ac-
ton that was able to reunite them
into one great nation. "And," declar-
ed the speaker, 'no man ever will"
chinery is doomed to as certain fail
ure as Napoleon and his French war;
riors of hundred years ago. The
prophecy further teaches that in the
last days the rulers of Europe will
'mingle themselves with the seed of
mem that is they will intermarrv. To-
day Europe is one great royal family
And in the days of these kings, that
is these intermarried kings, shall
the God of heaven set up Kingdom
which shall never be destroyed"
Thursdays night the subject was
Heaven" Friday night there will be
no meeting thus giving opportunity
for all to hear Gov. Stanley. Neither
will there be meeting Saturday night
but on Sunday night Mr.. Denslow
will speak on "World Conditions and
sFlFeis Meaning " THESE ssasetivgssfsr
