ter resembles an abandoned battle
field"
The national committee on war
damages sums up the devastation
as follows: Despite the reproba-
tiOn of the world, the German war
practices are constantly being ac-
centuated and intensified. These
odious proceedings have transform
ed hostilities into abominable bri-
gandage, seeking above all the ruin
of agriculture, industry, and COM
merce in this country"
Premier Clemenceau makes the
following statement regarding these
German OutrageS:
"AlI international conventions
which maintain in armed conflicts
traditions of loyalty and nobility
have been cynically swept aside by
Germany. Taken by the throat and
driven backward, he still seeks to
vent his hate upon the country
from which our soldiers drive him
foot by foot"

HUN ATROCITIES CONTINUE
WHILE THEY TALK PEACE
Brigandage of Army and Navy Now
Clearly Indicates Utter Lack
Of German Sincerity.

1t is extremely difficult to under
stand why, if Germany, in asking
for an armistice, really desires to
end the horrors of war and to tread
the paths OF peace, order and de-
cency, she does not call a halt to
the outrageous atrocities which her
military and naval forces have been
SO ruthlessly committing ever since
the first day of the war, and which,
according to the latest dispatches,
they are still carrying on during
their enforced retreat from occupied
cities in France and Belgium.
In. this connection Jules CambOn,
formerly French ambassador at
Washington, is quoted as follows:
AT the moment the central en-
pires address themselves to Presi-
dent Wilson to obtain an armistice
and begin negotiations for peace,
the German armies renew the. hOr-
rors they have been committing in
all the occupied territory st. Quen-
tin, Lens, Cambria, Douai are burn
ed, mined, ruined. Laon is now re-
ported to be burning, following the
same fate as Douai and Cambria
st. Quentin is a mass of ruins, and
the great mining center of Lens is
desert, with it's buildings leveled,
it's population gone, and it's rich
mines flooded. The whole section
surrounding st. Quentin has been
turned into vast cemetery. The
cathedral is still standing, its jag
ged walls being intact, but all else

PROGRESS OF THE WAR.

The greatest battle in the world S
history, that began March 81, is still
in progress, but the issue is deter
mined The terrific sacrifice of men
that Germany made was in an effort
to break the allies line, not to take
few acres of desert land, and the
great object has failed, and failed
miserably. The German army has
spent it's force and the allies lines
hold. The German loss in men has
been terrific, and it is loss that can
not be replaced. Already the great
Line battle has broken up, and now
it is battle of sectors.
While the fearful impact of the
Huns was forcing the allies to or
derly retirement apprehension siezed
upon the minds of men everywhere
lest the line should be broken, but
the German force is spent and the
line still holds. But was there rea-
son for serious apprehension? The
allies met the same terrific storm at
the Marne, and won. They met it
eighteen months later again at Yer
dun, and won. They met the same
dreaded spectre in the U-boats and
overcame it. The result of this war
is not in doubt; the allies will win.
They will win through superior re-
sources, and the sheer necessity for
winning. They will win because
they must win.
The Hun failed at the Marne, he
failed at Verdun, he failed with the
U-boat, he has failed in his great Of
fensive on the western front, and
spent his last great force. The allies
may have to wait weary months, and
may be years for victory, but this bat
tie has determined the issue of the
war.

MUHLENBERG MINES
GIVE COAL FOR WAR

Greenville, KY, April 13.-Muh-
lenberg mine operators and miners
are doing their bit for their country.
Virtually every mine in the county
has promised a donation of a days
run of coal for the Red Cross and
army Y. M.C.A.funds. On yester-
day the w. G. Duncan Coal company,
operating the Graham and Luzerine
mines, began their runs for the pa
triotic purpose. Tho Graham run
amounted to $4,000. To-day the Lu-
zerine mines output amounted to l.
800 tons. The plan adopted by the
mine operators and miners is for the
operators to give the coal mined and
the miners contribute their labor for
one day. Much interest is manifest
ed in the practical plan adopted of
raising substantial funds for war re-
lief both in the county and in other
coal mining communities where the
same plan would be feasible.

After the war the next greatest
interest of Ohio county people should
be the road question. The condition
of uur roads deplorable, and there
is absolutely no system for improving
them. We are not an engineer, but
we venture this suggestion to the
Fiscal court. Germany is teaching
the world an important lesson in the
effectiveness of a united effort under
a unity of direction.
AS the road question is handled at
present we have eight heads: working
under separate systems, with inde-
pendent direction. Such methods
are impossible of the best result. The
imperative need of the road repair
system is single efficient, capable
authoritive head--a road Engineer,
who can introduce and maintain a
scientific system of road building and
repairing. It would he no less abb
surd to appoint eight generals with
equal authority to command an army
than it is to have eight road COM
missioners in Ohio county. The Ohio
county Fiscal court is composed of
eight honest and capable magistrates.
1t is not the men, but the system
that is at fault. A capable road en-
gineer would save the amount of his
salary score of times over, pro-
yided he knew his business and was |
willing to do it. An incompetent en- !
yineer would not better, if it did not |
make the present arrangement worse, |
Dut the county should employ a COM
Detent road engineer if it has to go
o Kalamazoo to get him. There is
10 other way to handle the road
question.
