new ALLIANCE

London. May 21-Strong opposition
to the recently arranged alliance be-
tween Germany and Austria-Hungary
is voiced by Chancellor Won Hertling
and Foreign Secretary Won Kuehl-
mann, according to reports received in
The Hague.
The chancellor and the foreign
secretary are reported to have said
that they washed their hands of the
entire matter as they objected to the
methods by which the military part
of the convention was devised over
their heads by the German higher
command.
Gen. Ludendorff is said to be in
sisting that the agreement be passed
and signed at once.
The military sections bind each
party to aid the other with all its
forces against any and every enemy,
thus compelling Austria to place all
her forces at the disposal of Ger
many.

AMERICA IS TO BUILD
MONSTER man O. war
$4,000 Ton SuperdreadnOught Super
ior to Any Vessel AilOat-Three
Others To Be Built.

Newport News, Va, November 90
With the lifting of the voluntary CEN
sorship it now is permissible to reveal
that one of the great superdread-
noughts, authorized in the 1916 three
year building programme is well ad-
vanced in construction at the plant of
the Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock company. The keel of the
33,00O-ton battleshin was laid after the
country went to war and, in spite of
the call made UPON this yard for 32
destroyers to fight the submarine,
work on the great vessel has prog
ressed satisfactorily. The hull has
taken shape and probably will be
ready for launching within a few
months.
This monster man-o'-war will
mount eight 16R-inch rifles in four
turrets on the center line, two for
ward and two aft, and naval officials
believe that she will be the equal if
not the superior of any warship now
afloat Four of these ships were au-
| thorized and another is to be built
here and two by the Fore River Ship
building company at Quincy, Mass.
The newest torpedo boat destroyer
of the U. S. navy, the Gamble, built
at the Newport News plant, was
placed in active service today. The
Gamble was delivered last Wednesday
for commission. The destroyer is ex
pectad to develop a speed of more
than 80 knots an hour in the tria
tests.

ALLEGED Thief TO Be
RETURNED FROM OHIO
RequisitiOn VIII BE Asked For Alex
ander Schraif Charged Here With
Larceny and Under Arrest In
Cincinnati.

Chief of Police Harry A. Ort has re-
ceived word from the authorities at
Cincinnati that they have under ar
rest in that city Alexander Schraff
wanted by the local police on charge
of grand larceny. Chief Ort and City
Attorney Daily will at once make plans
to ask Governor Stanley to issue a
reuuisition on Governor Cox, of Ohio,
for Schraff's return to Maysville if he
refuses to come without such papers
Schraff stole a double set of harness
and twenty dollars in money from Mr..
Samuel Middleman, local junk dealer,
some time ago and the police have
been on his trail ever since.
The man came to Mr.. Middleman
and made a contract with him to pur-
erase junk over the country. He Sc
cured the double set of harness, which
are now very valuable and borrowed
twenty dollars in money. Instead of
going out to purchase junk Schraft
made at once for Ohio and has not
been seen here since. 1t is supposed
he disposed of the harness for what
ever money he could get.

ALLIES TO MAKE DEMAND
FOR THE EX- KAISER
Allies Said to Have Decided They
Have That Right

London, November 30, - William
HohenzolleT>1 must answer to the AL
lies. A demand on Holland to surrdn-
der the former emperor of Germany
has been decided, the Daily Mail an
nounces.
Persons returning from Germany
say that hundreds there are loyal to
William and express the belief that
they are ready to answer his slight
est command.
No doubt is expressed of counter
revolution. That such a revolution al
ready has started is indicated in
dispatch from Copenhagen to the Ex-
change Telegraph company.
The belief that William will be
given a trial is strengthened by the
announcement from Vienna that the
new government will bring to trial
all persons responsible for the war
including Count Berchtold and Count
Czernin. Former Emperor Charles,
the Austrian grand dukes, and sever
al generals are to be tried.

As a Memorial to His Daughter.

A collection, consisting of Chief
Tecumsehs British battle flag, Pom

mel leggins of Tecumseh's day and a
striking iron in a homespun sack, was
turned over to the Kentucky State
Historical Society by State Forester
]. e. Barton in behalf of Edward
Smith of Detroit, who desires the col
lection to be a memorial to his little
daughter, Marjorie Avleffe Smith.
Tecumseh carried the battle flag at
the Battle of the Thames, and the
flag with the other relics was re-
ceived by Mr.. Smith from the Rev.
William Elias, an Indian missionary
converted by Mr.. Smiths father-in-
law, the Rev. Ephraim Evans. The
latter was a brother OF James Ellis,
made famous in the book of Edgerton
r. Young "An Apostle of the North
James Evans"
The relics are authenticated

OPENING OF LOCAL
TOBACCO MARKET
is POSTPONED
Large Purchasers Cannot Get Their
Force Of Buyers to the Kentucky
Market Until the First of the
Association Acts.

At a meeting of the Maysville To-
bacco Association held Wednesday
evening the opening of the Maysville
Looseleaf Tobacco Market was post
poned until January l, 1919.
The Association had previously set
December 10 as the opening day but
kilograms received by local represen-
tatives from the American Tobacco
Company and the r. j. Reynolds To-
bacco Company, caused the Associa-
tion to take the action they did in
holding up the opening.
Both of these large firms, who are
by far the largest buyers on the Mays
vile market, said in their kilograms
that they would positively not have
their buyers on the Kentucky markets
until January 1st.
Farmers will have another whole
month in which to strip out their crop
and because of the delayed opening it
should be the largest the Maysville
market has ever had. 1t is not likely
that any of the markets in the state OF
Kentucky will open until the rep
resentatives of the American and the
Reynolds concerns are on the ground
and announce that they are ready tC
bid on the offerings, therefore the
farmers of this section VIII suffer nc
more delay in receiving their money
for their crop than they will in al
parts of the state.
