Their Absolute Carelessness and Indifference to Dan
 ger Is Amazing.
THEY HAVE MANIA
 FOR FIGHTING
Don't Worry About That Shell, Rastus; It Ain't
 Yo' Number

With the American Troops in France. Sept 31. Correspondence of , The Associated Press. s.)--American negro soldiers in France are a source of never-ending interest and amuse- ment to the French, who do not tire of watching and listening as they Wield picks and shoVels, and chant as i they work in d wierd minor key. They have shown a fearlessness amounting almost to utter indiffer- ence-if their white officers are with them-a caresessness where personal danger is involved that is at once amazing and sometimes annoying to the officers, and desire to fight that amounts to a mania
 The American negro soldier, in the words of a colonel who commands a regiment of them and has for years known a good deal about their char acteristics, is very close to a faltalist when it comes to fear. Repeatedly his own troops bandy remarks among themselves, the gist of which is about as follows:
 Don't worry about that shell, Ras-. tus. It ain't got your number on it"
 And the shell screams by. the ne- groes. who believe it had not their number stand idly around and expose themselves as they should not. The colonel frankly admits being afraid when big shells are flying about. and seeks cover.
 The first regiment which went into action, long ago now, went in pri- marily because it threatened to deci- mate itself in inactivity. Razors and knives came more and more freely into play, and the men demanded so frequently and so insstently of their officers why they might not get some action that it was finafiv arransed for them. They proved quite as strenu- ous fighters in the line as they had behind it.
 It goes without saving that the ne- gro soldier is as boastful as any in a similar profession. The Marines had just covered themselves with glory in the Chauteau Thierrv fight when delegation from negro regiment in line in a quiet sector waited on the commanding officer and asked if they, too. might not get in on the fun
 ''Let us go in, colonel.' they said. We are the only real fighters. The Marines are all right of course, but just let us have whack at the Boche. Then the Marines won't be in it. And for the rest Lord. tE<tT don't C/unt at all"

CRAPH|C'S SCREEN REVIEW ALL ADVANCE NOTICES FUR. WISHED BY THE THEATRES
BEST THEATRE TO-DAY AND
 TOMORROW.

Manger Simon of the Best Theatre promises his patrons feature of un- usual excellence when "The Sign h. visible opens at his house today and tomorrow. He says it is picture with punch and a moral but that the lat ter doesn't strike one until the play Is over, so dominant is the power of the plot. The story tells what hap pened to an embittered young sur geOn who visits far Canadian trad ing post to forget his troubles and perhaps avoid drunkards grave. His former religious faith has been shat tered by the Almighty's failure to spare the lives of several of his sur- gical patients end especially by the death of his mother
 By the time he reaches the trading station presided o:er by Lou Bari beau he is ready for any sort of de- vilment. There he is first sheltered iby the clergyman's daughter, but lat CT cast out of her fathers home because of his athiestic utterances. Finding himself refused by the right eous. he turns again to the wicked and in one Monohan, the toughest river boss that ever hit tn north," meets a mentor in iniquity second only to the vicious Factor himself.
 His advent at the post saloon and hotel is marked by his insult to and thrashing by Lone Deer, mighty hunter much beloved by the commun- ity. Once in the society of the law less element the young man is in- volved in a series of happenings both thrilling and pathetic. The author. Anthony 'p. Kelly. has drawn on the folk lore of the French Canadians for some very effective legendary bits which add greatly to the charm of the picture which was photographed on the shores of beautiful Lake George in upper New York State.
 It is said to be so full of incident that it's length-siX reels--is hardly realized. The First National Exhib- itor's Circuit announce it as one of their best purchases.

an exchange by which he could

with salt and desiring his men

was agreed that the men were to

Confederates were compelled to
retreat. In the charge Wolford
was wounded, but he kept his
saddle. A running fight was
kept up for several miles and
Wolford was carried on by the
retreating Confederates. Gen.
Morgan seeing that he was SER
iously wounded urged him to ac-
cept a parole. This he declined
to do, saying that the fight was
not over, aid it might be, at its
close, he would have the pleasure
of receiving parole. The pursuit
having become more vigorous,

SKETCHES OF ADAIR

Historical and Biographical that
viii be Of Interest to:aII
Readers OF the News.
BY JUDGE II. c. BAKER.
No. "a.
"reminiscences of Col. Wolford.

"reminiscences of Col. Wolford.
Col. Frank Wolford was born
in Adair County, altho, he lived
most of his life in Casey county.
Sometime after the close of the
Civil war he removed to Column
bia, where he remained until his
death. 1t was while living al
Columbia that he served two
terms in Congress.
Soon after his death, we pre-
pared an article which was pub
lished in the News. We do not
know that we can do better than
insert it here as a part of these
sketches.
Col. Frank Wolford was a man
of marked individuality-one OF
the most original and unique
characters, we believe, the State
has produced. He had no polish
of address, nor did he desire it.
If anything he rather prided
in the oddities of speech and
dress and appearance generally
which characterized him, or:
perhaps it would be truer to say
that he was Indifferent to these
things and gave them no thought.
His broad accent came to him
naturally and he did not try to
improve on it. He had a way OF
reaching the public comprehen-
sion and that was the main point
with him.
He did not aspire to be any
other body than Frank Wolford,
and hence he had no model after
which to pattern. Frank VOL
ford was sui generis, a diamond
in the rough, and just little
different from all other dia
monds.
I remember the first time
ever heard of him. 1t was short
ly before the beginning of thu
civil war, and he was then ;
humble country lawyer Ito for
tune and fame unknown" A
party of college boys had beer
down from Danville to Harrods
burg to hear John C.. Brecken
ridge speak on the issues of tn,
day.
At the close of his speech h
and Joshua F. Bell engaged in |
running debate for probabl!
thirty minutes. Breckenridg'
was then the idol of the Demo
cracy, and Bell was known AM
admired as "the silver tongueC
orator." the most charming
speaker in the State.
On our return, we were dis
cussing the merits of the tw
men as orators, when a Case
county boy, afterwards a Majo
In Wolford's cavalry, spoke u

States back into the Union. He
replied that he was as devoted in
his love to Kentucky as was Mr..
Breckenridge-that he was
warmly attached to the South
and to the Union, and, that he
was opposed to the use of money
for such a purpose and in view
of our position and relations he
favored neutrality.
The sequel showed how in such
times events control men. In a
few months thereafter Breckin-
ridge left Kentucky in the Union
and accepted a commission as a
general in the Southern army,
and Bell was using his persua-
sive oratory to aid those who by
force of bayonets would bring
the erring sisters back.
1t was in those days of passion
and excitement that Wolford
came to the front, and his voice
was first heard as potent fact
or in public affairs.
In the quiet of his humble
home he heard the mutterings of
the coming storm, and prepared to
meet it. He did not believe that
secession was right or that it was
a remedy for any wrong that had
been committed and he regarded
the dissolution of the Union as
the greatest calamity that could
befall the country North and
South. Entertaining these views
he opposed neutrality-espoused
the cause of the government, and
boldly and unequivocally took
his stand for the Union, the con-
stitution and the enforcement of
the laws.
Accepting the declaration of
those in authority that the war
was not waged in any spirit of
oppression, or for conquest, but
to restore the rightful authority
of the government and went to
work and raised a regiment, the
First Kentucky Cavalry, which
was accepted and mustered into
the service with him as its Colo
mel. He was not a tactician. We
doubt whether he ever studied
Hardee or any other authority.
He had seen service as a private
in the war with Mexico, and he
knew how to ride a horse, not
gracefully it is true. but securely,
and, best of all, he had the cour.
arge to get in front when duty
and danger called him.
During his three years of ser
vice he was engaged in many
battles, sometimes commanding
a regiment, sometimes a brigade
and for a long time a division.

Automatic Soldier Made
Of Steel Shoots 400 Shots
In Any Desired Direction

San automatic soldier is one of the
latest developments in weapons of war.
A Danish engineer has recently taken
out a patent for an apparatus to which
he has given this NAME. 1t consists of
a steel cylinder normally within a larg.
er cylinder, the whole being sunk into
the ground vertically. BY means of a
mechanism operated by wireless, the
inner cylinder rises to a height of is
inches from the ground and simultane-
ously an automatic rife mounted on the
inner cylinders fires 400 shots In any
given direction.
The automatic soldiers" can be con.
trolled from a central position some
four or five miles behind the line OF
defense, according to the inventor
They may be seen by the enemy only
when they rise from the ground.
From trials already made Ii has been
shown, so it Is reported, that a few hun
dreds of these steel soldiers can easily
defend a position against infantry at,
tacks, however numerous the opposing
force may be. They blaze away then
400 shots without flinching, and never
retreat. In order to overcome the Eau.
tomatoes they must be destroyed one
by one.
