We regret that The Republican goes to its patrons
this week as four page paper 1t occurs through
fault of the management. Our stock of print paper
is practically exhausted, and there is not ream of
paper obtanable on the Louisville market. We were
confronted with the problem of issuing four page
paper this week or none at all next week. We are
making every effort possible to get supply of paper
and hope to get in time to out with regular
eight page paper next week. With the assurance that
we doing everything money and energy can do to
keep The Republican up to its usual standard we beg
our patrons indulgence.

THE RED CROSS SHOW.

The benefit shows given for the
Red Cross at the Star Theater Mon
day afternoon and evening were a
fine financial success, and as a re-
suit Of il little more than a hun
dred dollars was added to the local
Red Cross treasury. The afternoon
show was literally attended and at
the evening show many people were
turned away from the ticket window
after the theater was packed to the
limit of standing room. The sue
cess of the event is a credit alike to
the management of the theater and
the public spirit of the people. The
managers, Heavrin a. Barrass, were
at an expense of more than twenty
five dollars in putting on the show
every penny of which went into the
Red Cross treasury. This is the larg-
est single contribution given in the
county to this meritOrious organiza-
ton, and the people should show
their appreciation by liberal pat
ronage of the Star Theater at sub
sequent entertainments. 1t is the
duty of the public to support an in
that has so unselfishly con-
tributed to so worthy cause.

Hun Finds Solace in
Fact Germany is Not
Alone War Weary

Amsterdam, Sept. 1.-THE postpone
ureut of peace prospects and the ike
!ihocd of a fifth winter weigh equally
on all belligerents and not only on
,.....l, .u1ne, in the opinion OF
Friederich von Payer, the Imperial
vice chancellor of Germany, eNpressei
in a speech At Stuttgart.
Our state debts" the vice chancel-
lor said, are everywhere reaching
fantastiS heights and everywhere we
struggle against the encroachments OF
our personal liberty. All the belltger-
ants of Europe must admit II they are
not blind, the longer European people
lacerate each other the more certain Is
weakened and impoverished Europe 10
be lost to more clever and calculating
people"
Herr Won Payer reminded his hear
ers that after four years the war stiti
was being waged almost entirely on
enemy territory. He admitted that IN
u U-boat war had not worked as quick
ly and surely as had been hoped. He
added that it was useless to dispute
whose was the fault
The enemy. he said. was still unable
to compensate tne lu5ssS Oy He" Soh
struction and declared that robbery OF
neutral ships almost without parallel
by the entente could not be repeated.
The more troops the United States
sends the greater will be the need or
shipping for reinforcement OF muni-
tions and food" Herr Won Payer said.
"The filling up Of the enemy army by
the Americans therefore bars in itself
its limitations
He argued that the loss OF shipping
would become fatal to Great Britain
after the war because it would lose
its shipping superiority to the United
States and the hope Of compensating
themselves from the German fleet,
which still has to be conquered. still
must be comforting only to the very
imaginative Briushers.
Contending that technique and In
ventive genius which already had
helped the Germans over heavy OBJ
stacles would still help them, Herr Won
Payer said:
IF we lack cotton and oils, our en-
emies lack coal. Food Is scarce here
and there but already things probably
have turned in our favor, In the east
the world again is open to us and our
enemies are not furtunte."
