Tn remote ages, when the volume
of history will be too large for the
record of other than the most import
ant events, General Pershing's speech
at the tomb of Lafayette will be re-
corded. Perishing is not known TO
the American people as an orator,
and when he delivered the utterance
that will live in history as long as
the American and French races he
little dreamed he was voicing an i'm
mortal sentence. Nearly a century
and a half ago Lafayette came to the
rescue of the American colonies, when
hut for his timely aid their fortunes
were in doubt, and after the lapse
of that long period, Perishing, COM
mander of the American forces In
France, stood by the tomb OF the one
time benefactor of his country and
simply said, Lafayette, we are here
That sentence, eloquently simple and
simply eloquent, was freighted with
the gratitude of the Imperial Repub-
lie of the west to the great French
people, and will live when the ora
lions of the great masters have been
forgotten.

GAMBLED TOO LONG.

Buck Sparks. an Greensboro char
acter, notorious as a gambling den
operator, gambled too long, and the
penalty of his indulgence Is a year
at Eddyville. Sparks was convicted
in the Daviess Circuit Court on
charge of operating a gambling house
and given sentence of one year in
the penitentiary, which sentence he
began serving Monday. The case is
unusual, in that few penitentiary
sentences have been inflicted for op-
Grating gambling houses. in Ken
lucky. Only one such case has been
before the Court Of Appeals. Sparks
attempted to appeal his case but
through some error in the prepara-
ton of the papers for appeal the
case did not reach the higher court.
Such offenders have usually been,
when convicted at all, let of with
trifling fines. Commonwealth At
torney Smith last winter went after
the greensboro gamblers with ham
mer and tongs, secured a number Of
convictions with heavy fines imposed,
and secured a penitentiary sentence
against Sparks. the king bee of the
city's gamblers.

Judge Settle, the Democratic nom
inee for Judge of tn Court of APP
peals, has a just grievance against
the Democrats of Ohio county. When
the Get on the ballots" case was be-
fore the Court of Appeals last fall
Judge Settle dissented from the ma
jority opinion, and it is reported that
he rushed to the telephone, called
up the Democratic leaders here, and
told them of his action. Such 10y
atty in an hour of need should have
been rewarded with better vote in
the primary Saturday.

CAMP SHERMAN NOW
HAS RECORD POPULATION

Camp Sherman, o., Aug. Camp
Sherman's population today was A.
612, and according to this figure, CIV
en- out officially at the cantonment
personal Office, there are more men
in training here than at any time
heretofore. The personnel officers
of the saith or Lincoln Division an
nounced to-day that there are 1881
in this division, not including the
regiments of artillerymen at Camp
Zachary Taylor, Louisville. When
the artillerymen at the Kentucky
cantonment join the division at Camp
Sherman the Lincoln Division VIII
almost be filed up to complete war
strength. That the camp here is FILL
ed up to capacity was evidenced to-
day when 1885 negro draftees who
arrived from different parts OF Ohio
and Pennsylvania were billeted In
artillery sheds. The colored soldiers
however, seem we'll contented with
these quarters. The 10th Training
Battalion at Camp Sherman Is nlled
up by selects from nearly every state
in the Union. Maj. T. M. Hays, COM
mander of this unique battalion
says.
Seemingly unmindful of the ter
rife heat the soldiers went through
their regular drill courses on the pa
rade grounds to-day. The Govern
ment Thermometer here recorded
degrees higher to-day than yester'
day, when los degrees was reach
ed.

Republican election officers at one
of the Hartford precincts, at the pri-
mary here Saturday, say they dis
covered one voter who did not know

democratic or Republican ballot?

ticket; / don't vote with the mig

Reports from Russia are that the
Bolsheviki will declare war on ia
pan, and military conditions in the
east may again become interesting.
Japan has already a considerable
army in Siberia and French, British
and American soldiers are being sent
there in significant numbers. There
will be little surprise if the flames of
war break into a conflagration again
soon in Russia. At most. the turn
affairs are taking in that part of the
world will make it necessary for Ger
many to maintain a considerable army
on the eastern front, and that will
weaken the Hun power in the west.

We all hope for Senator James
early recovery from his long contin-
ued illness, but there is a notable
difference in press notices of his con-
dition before and after the Primary
Just before the primary the Demo-
cratic newspapers were burdened
with reports of his rapid Improvement
or denials that his condition was SER
ious. Mondays report read, THE
condition of Senator James remains
unchanged. He is not permitted to
receive visitors except Mrs. James
and members of her immediate FAM
lily. Before the primary he was re-
ported to be sitting up, reading the
papers and chatting with friends.
But only the gullible were gulled'
and there appears to be reason for
grave apprehension about the Sena-
tors condition.

Democracy presents a strange pa

Democracy presents strange par
adox, in that to preserve 1t we must
sometimes destroy it. In time oil
peace, when the national spirit Is
pacific, democracy =. conserves the
greatest measure of liberty, but it
will not stand the stress and strain
of war. At the hour OF free ma
tons entrance into war 1t OF ne
cessity becomes an autocracy; COM
mon consent must give way to CEN
tralized authority. We, the freest
people of the world before we enter
ed upon the war, are now governed
by the most rigid autocracy' Gov
eminent by commissions and depart
ments regulates the conduct OF the
people to an extreme never known in
this country before. The tempera-
ture of ones room, the menu OF the
table, the hours of labor, are regu
lated by federal authority. Even
our boasted freedom of speech is
limited by rule. We are not COM
planning at these condition.; in fact
we endorse them as a necessary con-
dition to winning the war, but mere
ly calling attention to the made
quacy of democracy TO govern a ma
tion in peril.

LURK
OFF EASTERN COAST

Washington, Aug. 5.-Two or more
hostile submarines are lurking in
Atlantic coast waters. Secretary of
the Navy Daniels today declared that
was the belief of Navy Department
officials. They are of the opinion,
he added, that at least two, and pos
sibly three, U-boats are off our
coast.
This is the first time that subma-
rines "in force" such as was prom
ised upon the first visit OF raider,
have been reported in American wa
tiers.
One steamship has fallen victim,
the oil tanker o. b. Jennings, which
was sunk Sunday 100 miles OFF the
Virginia coast.
The department has also received
reports that another submarine was
operating off the Barnegat coast. This
was the scene of most Of the activity
of the first underwater craft that
attacked American shipping.
The Jennings was sunk by gunfire
and 80 Of her survivors have been
landed at Norfolk. The captain and
10 of the crew are still missing. The
vessel was of 1880 net tons and
owned by the Standard Oil Company.
Thus far none of the hostile u
boats that have visited this coast
have dared to trespass on the trans
port lanes. Their latest reappear-
ance will mean no relaxation in the
shipment of men or supplies. Navy
yessels-destroyer and chasers-
are now also ''out in force" and no
anxiety is felt in the department over
the present visit.
Since Germany's surprise visit OF
submarine to this side all of her
undersea attempts have been fail
ures as far as stopping the transport
of troops is concerned because OF
the vigilanee of the navy. For this
reason there Is no apprehension, at
least in the Navy Department, over
the temperance of raiders. Some
officials believe the present raid to
be the expiring effort of the German
admiralty, which is intended to ter
rorize shipping and cities along the
Atlantic. They base their belief on
Trustworthy reports to the effect that
Germany's submarine losses prevent
any action on a large scale and per
NIT only sporadic raids undertaken
with the sole hope of but single
big catch"
The loss of the United States sub
marine chaser No 1877 was reported
by the Navy Department. The yes

coast after a collision with another

The public will watch with interest

The public will watch with interest
the policy of the Courier-Journal and
Times, under their new ownership
with reference to certain Democratic
party leaders, and toward the liquor
question. Mr.. Bingham, the new
owner, is ultra-dry, and it is fair
prediction that his newspapers Will
undergo a radical change in policy
affecting prohibition and the party
leaders who espouse 1t.

The American people should take
thought for the years ahead. They
are now drunk with commercial pros
perity, but the war must sometime
end, and a readjustment of business
conditions must follow. The war
ended, millions of laborers must go
into the industrial field in search or
employment. The change will come
suddenly. The present fabulous wage
scale will be reduced, and perhaps
the gravest danger to the country
will be in labor disturbances. The
tremendous waste of war must be
repaired, and taken all together the
years following the war do not look
bright.

STRAY STREAKS
(By Fluke McFluke.(
To Men Only.


If your y. V. DIS haven't been
sticking to you closer than any broth
err. during the past few days, then by
shot there's something radically
wrong with you.
We know of few sharks whose
life haunts and daily efforts are con-
tinuously amongst dry-land-suckers
.365 days in each and every year.
The Old Mems S. s. Glass, into
which we somehow or other drifted.
has been prone to nag us just bit
on account of our fondness for fish
ing. but Sunday or so ago, when
we called attention of the class to
the fact that when Christ called his
Apostles, he selected a large portion
of the IL from among good fisher
men, none could explain the where
fores of the matter.
A certain highly esteemed and
worthy member of one of the local
churches discovered last Sunday on
approaching church that he had
overlooked putting on his collar and
tie and of course had to back track
it for home to don the neck-wear
and on arriving home after S. s..
he discovered that he had left his
Bible in the class room and he like
wise had to foot 1t back to the
church for the forgotten Bible. Had
1t been John Henry what would the
question and answer have been?
Since this doggon bone-dry booze
law become so effectively affecting
there's more people in our neighbor-
hood making apple cider than you
ever heard tell of. Our wife even
makes a little bit about every other
day. They are just kinder making
vinegar, don't you know? to sort o
pickle the main purpose, l guess.
Though his wife don't know it,
Uncle Joe Robertson has gotten to
be about ten times worse than Old
Man Jiggs ever was when it comes
to going to the bathing beach each
and every afternoon. Then, we un-
derstand that he tells Mrs. Robert
son he works late, to account for
keeping her waiting supper for
him.
