Well have million soldiers over
in France by July LIST, the dispatches
tell us today. That's doing mighty
well for a nation that has devoted it.
self almost exclusively to the arts of
peace. To raise an army of u =
lion men, equip them, train them, and
put them in service across the sea in
a little over year, is an accomplish
ment not to be discredited. Those in
charge of our war program have done
well, despite the criticism that has
come from many quarters.

BOURBON MEN ATTEND RACING
COMMISSION MEETING.

Mr.. Arthur B. Hancock, Chairman
of the State Racing Commission, and
Mr.. T. Hart Talbot, of the county,
member of the organization, at:
tended a meeting of the Commission
held in Louisville, at the Pendennis
Club, Friday night.
One of the most important meas
ures adopted at the meeting was the
passing of resolution apportioning
among the Red Cross Chapters of the
State the 100000 guaranteed to the
Red Cross movement by the racing
men and owners of thoroughbreds in
the State. The resolution, which was
introduced by Judge Allie Young,
provides that the secretary of the
Committee shall communicate with
the various Red Cross Chapters and
pro rate the 100000 among them
in accordance with their quota. The
addition of this sum will give the
State much higher standing in the
Red Cross campaign.
The Commission also adopted reso-
lutions of respect to the memory of
the late John B. Castleman, of Lou
isville, who was always one of the
most devoted adherants of the turf
and a great admirer of the racing
game.

PARIS WANTS THE FACTS.
-tf)

- At the last meeting of the Paris
City Council, held in the Council
Chamber in the City Hall, Thursday
night, the principal feature of the
proceedings, after the disposition OF
routine business, was the considera-
ton of the matter of investigating
the electric lighting contract be-
tween the Paris Gas & Electric Co.
and the city.
AS a result of the investigation
begun some months ago by Mr.. w
H. Weiss, of Kansas City, Mo-, who
had been employed by the city as a
consulting engineer, the Council
passed a resolution making 1t obllga-
tory upon the part of the Paris Gas
& Electric Co. to furnish complete
inventory of it's plant and all appur
tenances; the service to consumers
to disclose by its books the price II
pays for electric current and gas; Its
income account, operating revenue
cost of plant and total annual con-
sumption of electric current and gas
and the average revenue received by
the company for the past six years.
The Council has, since the first OF
January. by resolution, declined tC
nav the full amount rendered against
the city for lighting the streets, etc.
on the ground that the prices charg
ed for the services were excessive
The subject has been one OF grea'
controversy between the city and the
lighting company, with the citizens
standing anxiously in the back
