WANTED TO FIGHT BEFORE THEY
GOT TO GERMANY

Two young men from Robertson
county who were in the city last night
en- route to Camp Zachary Taylor and
evidently thought that they were sup
posed to start to fighting Immediately
for they started fight on the streets
and 1t looked for a time as II they
were going to clean up the town. Of
ficer Dudley Bloomhuff soon interfer-
red in their plans, however, but found
1t necessary to use his club on them
to make them realize that they did not
own the town. They were placed in
Jail and will be tried in Police Court
this afternoon.

sure SOME WINDY
Was Last NIght-L00ks Like March
Is Coming In Like Llon-Wlll
II Go Out Like a Lamb3

This section was visited by big
wind storm last night which was no
strong at times that It seemed as II
1t would lift the roofs from houses.
Some little damage to farm property
in the county is reported.
Last night was only twenty-fifth Of
February, but you might as well call
1t the beginning Of March, for there is
only three days left.
And 1t was breezy; real March
weather.
The month is coming in like a lion.
Will 1t go out like a lamb!
Weather prophets. hoary headed
and wise, say 1t will.
A hard winter, a mild spring and
hot summer. Well we'll see.
Granted that these so-called pro-
phets know whereof they speak, we
may look for some good fruit this
year, But II they are wrong, we will
continue to pay high prices for the
sunkist apples grown somewhere in
the south"
But getting away from predictions
for or against, last night was some
windy.
The wind blew up the streets and
then it blew down. 1t tapped avn
ings and shades and whistled mourn
full tunes around caves Of houses un-
til everybody who was awake had the
blues. Then it decided to enliven
matters, and 1t blew a little harder
just to be more March lion-like.
The breezes could hardly be called
zephyrs, because IL they had come in
contact with some Aeolian harp the
result would have been Jazz music.
If the weather prophets predictions
of a mild spring are true you may ex.
pect Maysville to get the cream of the
spring, and why not hope for the
best?

BID FOR PEACE WITH U. S.
Made by German Chancellor Says
General Peace Can be Discussed
on Wilson's PrInclples-von
Hertilng, However, Falls
to Find Anything In
Statement Of Other
Allied Leaders.


Amsterdam, February 25-SpeakIng
before the Reichstag today, the lmper-
ial German chancellor, Count Won
IIertling, made this declaration:
81 can fundamentally agree with
the four principles, which In presi-
dent Wilson's view must be applied in
a mutual exchange Of views, and thus
declare with President Wilson that a
general peace can be discussed upon
such a basis.
"0nly one reserve need be made In
this connection:
"'These principles must not only be
proposed by the president of the Unit
ed States but also mutually be recog-
nized by all states and peoples"
But this goal has not yet been
reached. There is still no court of ar
bitration established by all the ma
tions for the preservation of peace in
the name Of justice. When President
Wilson incidentally says that the Ger
man chancellor is speaking to the
tribunal of the entire world, | must
decline this tribunal as prejudiced
joyfully as | would greet 1t, If an i'm
partial court Of arbitration existed
and gladly as ! would cooperate to
realize such ideals.
unfortunately. however, there is
no trace of similar statements on the
part Of the leading powers of the En-
teate. England's war aims are still
thoroughly imperialistic and she
wants to impose on the world a peace
nc iording to Englands good pleasure
when England talks about the
peoples right Of self-determination
she does not think of applying the
principle to Ireland, Egypt and In
da.
1T has been repeatedly said that we
10 not contemplate retaining Belgium
but that we must be safeguarded from
the danger of a country, with which
we desire after the war to live in
peace and friendship, becoming the
object or jumping off ground of enemy
Vaccinations. If, therefore, a pro-
pcsal came from the opposing side,
for example, from the government in
Havre; we should not adopt an anita
gonistic attitude, even though the dis
cussion at first might only be unbind-
ing.
Meanwhile, | readily admit that
President Wilson's message of Febru-
ary II constitutes perhaps small
step toward mutual approachment. "
Count Won Herlting, the German
imperial chancellor announced tod-.
in the Reoichstag that the Russian
government has accepted the German
peace conditions and he added that
the conclusion of peace must ensue
shortly.
News was received yesterday" said
the Chancellor, that Petrograd had
accepted our conditions and had its
representative of Brest-Litovsk for
further negotiations. Accordingly,
our delegates travelled thither last
evening. 1t is possible that there will
still be dispute about details, but
the main thing has been achieved.
"The will to peace has been ex-
pressly announced from the Russian
side; our conditions have been accept
ed as the conclusion of peace must
ensue within very short time"
