ANOTHER LEMON FOR TAYLOR

The Courier-Journal, after reading
what J. Boyce Taylor, of Murray,
had to say against Red Cross and Y.
NJ. c. A. work. hands him the fol-
lowing: "These quotations reveal him
as contemplate little bigot and
silly fool who has persistently used
his position in n great church to in
stigate treason against the country
that shelters him and to which he
processes allegiance. The most chart
table explanation of his conduct is to
assume chat he hasn't sense enough
70 realize its gravity. That, however,
is no reason for failure by the prop
err authorities to put a stop to il. The
Courier-Journal understands that he
is under surveillance by the Govern
ment, he ought TO be under duress
by, the Government. And he ought
to be kicked out of the ministry by
the caurch whose cloak he uses TO plv
his infamous campaign against his
country"

THE LATEST WAR NEWS

The people must either 90 on or
go under" was the stirring climax
OF an address delivered TO the Trades
Unions of Great Britain by Premier
David Lloyd George Friday in Lou
don. The Premier's address followed
closely upon the passage by the
House OF Commons by the Manpower
Blll which has as its object the rails
~ OF more men TO strengthen the
British fighting forces. The Premier
evinced strong distrust of Germany's
honesty, reverting several times 10
the untrustworthiness of her prom
lses and declaring that no peace
terms would be recognized by En-
peror William Field Marshal Won
Hlndenburg, Gen. Won Ludendorff
and the other militaristic elements
unless the British had the power To
enforce them.
Strict orders have been issued 10
enlisted men and officers at Camn
Zachary Taylor warning them to
MAINTAIN secrecy of all military ac-
INVITES at the environment. The order
says: Grave and avoidable danger
TO the safety of our forces and the
success OF our operations is being
caused by the giving Of information
by officers and enlisted men to mem
bers OF their families, their friends
and the public in geenral."
Examining officers of the new Ma
tonal Army report that approx
mately per cent. of the drafted
men, as they appear in camps. are so
seriously defective in mental devel-
opment that they are either men
aces or nmsances in military orrani-
Zatlons. As result of the investipa-
tlons, application Of the new psvcho-
logical test to all enlisted men and
newly appointed officers of the army
has been ordered by the War De
partment in an effort to weed out
the mentally unfit.
After an adventurous career of
nearly three and half wears in
fnghtlng and raiding operations in
the Black Sea the famous former
German cruisers Goeben and Breslau
have met their fate at the hands of
British warships in a fight at the en-
trance to the nardanelles. The Bres-
lau, renamed Midullu. was sunk, and
the Goeben, rechristened Sultan
fawuz Selim, was beached. The two
cruisers escaped into Turkish water
shortly after the outbreak of the war
and were purchased by the Turks.
Fresh troubles are reported to
have broken out throughout Austria.
General strikes have occurred and in
Vienna and Neustadt all the war
manufacturing plants are reported to
have been closed. In these towns
100000 men are said to have quit
their jobs. The movement is political
and economic and has as its basis
the desire for peace. Anti-German-
ISM rs declared to be especially prev
alent throughout the country.
