ENGLISH COMMENT ON GER.
MANY'S REPLY TO WILSON

LONDON Oct. 24.-The German
reply to President Wilson is regarded
here as mot business, but mere argu-
ment and protestation." In govern
ment, diplomatic and political circles,
the view is that it is not reply, but
simply resort to verbiage designed
to cover the absence of reply. One
highly placed official described 1T as
badly comoufaged insincerity."
The government has not considered
the reply in detail, although Premier
Lloyd George and his colleagues held
protracted deliberations.
Henry Hindman, leader of the
British Socialists, said: 'The reply
is simply another piece Of shutting.
1 hope President Wilson will answer
it very abruptly and briefly. AT
any rate, he has given Emperor/Wil-
liam an opportunity to say that he
and his people are one in the same
sort of duplicity and treachery to
which we have been treated through
out the war"
peace should be signed in Ber-
lin," declared Lord Charles Beres-
ford, For a country that has been
butchered, for other countries that
have been devastated and for the mil
lions of women that have been
wronged, Germany shall meet her
doom"
Lord Northcliffe said: 1.-THE Presi-
dent, who dealt SO firmly and shrewd-
ly with the previous German attempts
to entangle him in wordy discussion,
may be trusted to compel the Ger
man Government to show whether it
really intends unconditional surren-
der, which alone can satisfy the de-
mands of the military and naval au-
thorities of the Allies, or whether it
simply is playing for time"
Newspapers, almost without ex-
ception, view the German reply with
impatience and distrust. Germany
Still Impenitent," is the caption on
the editorial of the Chronicle, which
[dismisses the reply as OBVIOUSLY in
acceptable.
"a monument of insincerity" is the
way the Times characterizes the Ger
man reply The Times continues:
can armistice is to be had on terms
laid down by the military and naval
authorities of the associated forces.
1t is not to be had on the enemy's
terms or upon any terms that leave
room for subterfuge."
According to the Express "the mig
ger in the woodpile" in the German
reply is the desire "for an armistice
based on an elaborate estimate of the
rival forces as they are to-day" This
the paper says, Is a "diSingenuOus
tuict of tho Wilson conditions"
The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1918-10-25

PARIS, Oct. 24.-The German re-
ply to President Wilson is viewed
here generally as betraying more
than previous communications the
state Of depression and the demorali-
zation of the German people as the
result of the Allies victories. As a
whole, the note is found to be so
equivocal and tortuous and platitu-
dinously phrased as to leave the door
open for all sorts of quibbling. No
where is there evidence. in the re-
ply of genuine desire to accept the
only way in which peace can be con-
cluded, according to- expression of
opinion here. On the contrary, all
that is apparent is the urgent desire
of the German General Staff to get
an armistice at any price in order
to reorganize it's reserves of men and
material. Therefore, it is gerenally
believed that the reply is not likely
to be considered at Washington.
The Fargo says that the men who
combined to write the reply to Presi-
dent Wilson have translated the an
guish, disarray and powerless anger
of the people in whose name they
pretend to speak"
The Matin-"The German note is
a typical document. In it are ex-
pressed the sentiments of a barbar-
GUS people who failed in a foray.
There is not word in the note
which reveals the stoical strength of
which France and other nations
have so often given proof in misfor-
tune"
The Journal says the note seeks to
divide the Allies.
Col. De Thomasson, in the Petit
Journal: "The note is proof that the
German high command considers the
situation of it's armies most grave;
but not yet desperate"
L'Homme Libre.-'The German
government is again trying to quib-
ble"
Marcel Cachin, writing in Human
lite, says: ION every point the Ger
man government clearly shows an eff
fort at cancellation. We may OBJ
serve that q new step toward a Just
peace has been made this day"

Faithful Unto Death.

Notfa week before the hand of
death was laid on Gov. Jas. B. Nc
Creary, he wrote to headquarters in
Louisville offering his services to
speak for Stanley and the othef DEM

faithful statesman ever lived nor one
whose democracy was so full part of
himself as he who has just gone to
his reward If he could speak to the
people from the other shore, his
appeal to keep the faith as did and
by voting the Democratic ticket,

this crucial hour"

Let us make thorough, scientific
examination of your eyes, based on

Issuance of Bonds

| called attention in my public an
nouncement to the subject of country
md municipal bonds, and warned
against their indscriminate issuance.
These are piling debt for posterity
ind creating a huge lien on the re-
sources of the country, which is APP
oalling. The general assembly, at its
session of 1915, authorized these bonds
in the immense sum of $20,747,000 and
The session of 1917 authorized these
n the further sum of $17,166,000 and
so it has been at every session OF the
legislature in recent years. These
bonds should invariably be issued on
vote of the people, and should al
ways be safeguarded with Definite
provisions for their retirement.
Liquor Question

who reads can doubt my past or pres

be regretted if there remains poll
tician in our State who would further
use this question to agitate or preJu-
