HE DEMOCRATS OF KENTUCKY

The selection of State officers at
this time is certainly matter of
utmost Importance. Kentucky
stands at the door of great oppor-
tunities-natural agricultural and
commercial. Whether she enters
and takes full possession Of all the
future has in store for her depends
very largely upon whether her af-
fairs are guided by a broad, sound.
constructive and progressive policy.
Whatever may come to pass, it
will always be my privilege and my
purpose to give the faithful, earnest
service to my State and party which
i feel that every citizen owes. thus
evidencing my profound sense of
obligation to my fellow citizens of
this great State.
Ninety years ago the Democrats
party was formed and throughout
the near full century which has
elapsed since that time all of the
members of my family have served
that party and have believed in the
principles enunciated by Thomas JEFF
ferson. They have served for the
love of service and none of them
has ever asked political preferment
of the voters of the State.

DISASTROUS HUN DEFEAT
Attempt to Protect KENNEL Position
Colossal Failure.

London, April 80, via Ottawa-@The
correspondents with the British army
agree that the enemy yesterday suf-
fered nothing less than a disastrous
defeat. 1t was tho first phase of the
battle in his desperate attempt to
capture the line of hills held by the
Allies. which endanger his possession
of Mont KENNEL. The Germans have
probably used thirteen divisions from
the east Of Ypres southwark on the
line Of battle, with two more north
ward and the violence of the gun fire
was never greater or more unceasing
at any period of the war.
The successful allied defenses made
the day the bloodiest yet experienced
by the enemy. as attack after attack
was smashed by artillery and infantry
file. Tre Germans had already suf-
fered heavily on Sunday, when their
concentrations of troops were caught
and shattered and French center
neither bent nor broke.

Again there has come q pause In
the battle Of Flanders, where the
ground everywhere is covered with
the gray-clad bodies Of German dead,
and the British and French are hold
ing securely to all their positions.
From Saturday until we'll into Mon
day night Gen. Won Arnim's forces
continued their efforts to break the
British lines on the Ypres salient and
to press back the British and French
to the southwest, but everywhere their
efforts were fruitless. True they
gained their objective and again cap
tured Locre, but counter-thrust
forced them out again.
In the hilly region just to the
north of Locre the British also pusl,-
ed back the enemy at several points,
notably between KENNEL AMI La
Clytte.
Much of the snap Of the German at
tacking forces has been absent from
the manoeuvers they have been
carrying out in Flanders under the
stiffened line of the Entente troops.
To the south near Amiens and to
the east around Noyon the enemy
likewise has failed in all his attempts
to push farther forward. The British
east Of villers- -Bretonneux, which lies
directly cast of Amiens, have advane.-
cd their front. and in the Noyon see.-
tor the French have eestablished d
their lines, which the Germans pre-
viously had captured from them.
The Germans on various sectors of
the line are still hurting tons Of steel
against the British and French posi-
tions. but the Allied guns are every
where answering them.
While the present halt in the battle
possibly may indicate the near ap-
proach Of the throwing into the fray
of the great reserve army which Gen.
Fcch has gathered. that such is the
intention of the supreme commander
OF the Allied forces has not become
apparent. 1t Is not improbable, how
ever. that a meeting of the interallied
war council in Paris WEDNESDAYS
measures having in view the turning
of the tide of the battle will be up
pcrmost in the discussions.
In all the various war theaters ex-
cept the western the situation remains
relatively calm so far as fighting is
concerned. All along the front in italy
reciprocal bombardments continue.
In Macedonia the Serbians in the
region Of Monastir again have entered
an enemy position and annihilated the
garrison. They also have been sue
cessful in repulsng an attack by Bull
garians which had as it's object the
recapture OF positions near Vetretsk

College of Bishops, who had not been
consulted in any initial stage of the
proceedings, Jaw at the first glance
that the plan proposed involved the
complete dismemberment of our work
In Mexico and on that ground. as well
as for other reasons, entered an earn
est protest against it," For this, it
was said. the bishops have been
charged with ''autocra1c assumption
Of an authority which we did not pos
sess. but the fact is we only insisted
on obedience to the acion of the gen.
eral conference"
The election Of Ave bishops was rec
commended in the address.
Concerning the question of unfit
cation Of American Methodism the
bishops address declared a report
would be presented by the commits

ference to confer with a like commits
sion from the Methodist Episcopal
church. 1.-The general conference at

plan adopted at Chattanooga in May,
1911. by the joint commission on fed
eration." said the address. 1t was in
addition suggested that the negro
membership of the various Methods,
bodies be formed into an indepe ndent
organization and united church. 1t Is
already known throughout the
church that the commission has had
not less than four sittings. We arc
unofiicially Informed however, that
the commission was not able to reach
an agreement. The commissioners
representing our own church went as
far as they were authorized to go.
However, our brethren Of the Meth
odist Episcopal Church did not see
their way clear to agree to the plan
proposed. 1t is still our earnest
nope that way may be found for
some plan of cooperation among the
Methodsts Of America which shall as
far as possible. eliminate wastage
OF man and money in the territory in
which both churches have establish
cd themselves"
The bishops reported the member
ship Of the church to be: Travelling

than 10000 members since the last
