BOURBON PUTS THE UNITED WAR
WORK CAMPAIGN OVER.

We'll done, thou good and faith
81 servants" was the message con-
xared to the United War Workers in
tba city and county by Chairman
Henry A. Power, when the result of
the work had been announced, and
thew were told that Bourbon county
had again made good" and upheld a
reputation that has not been excelled
nv any county in the State.
With reports available from every
nrecinct in the county and the final
fsDulations completed it was an
uo,nced that the county had raised
more than its required quota, making
the figures read s52.475.57. The re-
sllt in the district, composed of the
counties of Bourbon, Harrison, Mich
elias and Fleming, with a maximum
quota of S72,93700, was a total sub
scription of s98,525.57. Of the
amount raised in Paris and Bourbon
county the maximum for the United
war Work campaign was s42,547.50,
with an additional $40, 900 added for
the Bourbon County Y. M. G. A.,
making the maximum oversubscrip-
ton for the War Work $27.07.
Bourbon county's prompt passing
Of the figures representing her quota
in this u. W. W. campaign is an evil
dence of the unflagging spirit of the
city and the county in the prosecu-
ton of the war. There is carpen-
ters' axiom that no job is.finished un-
til the last nail has been driven.
The last nail has been driven in the
campaign here, and the work has
been gloriously finished and well
done.
The public has responded gener-
ously, calamity. to every call during
the war. 1t will respond as well to
every call incident to the winding up
of the after-the-war work of the
United States Bourbon county peo-
Die who are wealthy have been lib
eraI, but Parisians who are not
wealthy, and to whom response has
meant financial denial have also
shown a fine spirit of liberality. To
the driving of the last nail this coun-
ty was on the job. That is the sort
of good American county we have.

ARE YOU CARRYING ENOUGH
SHARES?

Are you carrying as many shares
in the Building & Loan Association
as you can afford? Doubtless there
are many share holders who are car
rying five or ten shares who could
easily carry two or three times that
number. No other form of invest
ment pays any better rate Of inter

GERMANY CEASES AS A NAVAL
POWER.

Germany as a naval power ceased
to exist Friday.
Inc heart of her mighty feet-14
SHIPS or the line, seven light cruisers
anu oO yers-surrendered to an
armada OF British, American and
french vessels, the greatest fighting
force that ever stood out at sea.
The minutely-detailed program Of
submission laid down by the COM
mander of the British feet was car
REQ out strictly according to plan.
Inc German warships, strung out
In single column almost 20 miles
long, appeared at the rendezvous at
the appointed time and were led into
the Firth of Forth between twin col
umns of Allied ships which overlap
ped the Germans at each end.
The enemy craft are now anchored
In the Firth, under guard as pris-
oners.
A surrender on such gigantic
scale has no precedent in naval his
tory. Although the wonderful naval
spectacle was the same as a peace
time review, and evoked little en-
thusiasm, the haze plotting out the
horizon, the Americans and their Off
GERS could scarcely credit the evil
dence of their eyes; it was an event
which shattered all naval traditions
and ideals.
Animated by the spirit of Law
rence's Don't Give UP the Ship" and
Nelson's England Expects Every
Man to Do His Duty" the witnesses
could not conceive of such an inglo-
rious fate as that which the great
enemy sea force was submitting.
LONDON, Nov. 25.-One German
destroyer, while on its way across the
North Sea with the other ships of the
German high seas fleet, to surrender
to the allies, struck mine. The war
ship was badly damaged and sunk.
The enemy fleet was composed of
nine battle ships, five battle cruis-
ers, seven light cruisers and so
destroyers.
All the vessels will be taken to the
Scapa Flow in the middle of the DIRK.
ney Islands, off the northern coast of
Scotland. The Sapa Flow is a small
island and has numerous good har-
bors and roadsteads
Describing the surrender of the
German warships to the Commander
in Chief of the grand fleet, Sir Da-
yid Beatty, correspondents say that
after all the German ships had been
taken over the British Admiral pass
ed through the line on the Queen
Elizabeth, every allied vessel being
manned and greeting the Admiral
and the flagship with loud and ring
ing cheers.
The British grand fleet put to sea
in two single lines, six miles apart,
so formed as to enable the surrender
ing fleet to pass up the center.
The leading ship of the German
line was sighted between 9 and 10
o'clock in the morning. 1t was the
Seydlitz, flying the German naval
ensign.
The point of the rendezous for the
allied and German sea forces was be-
tween 80 and 40 miles east of May
Island, opposite the Firth Of Forth.
The fleet, which witnessed the sur
render, was composed of 400 ships,
including 60 dreadnoughts, SO light
cruisers and nearly 200 destroyers.
Admiral Sir David Beatty, comman-
der of the grand fleet, was on the
Queen Elizabeth.

Mr.. William P. Walton, Jr., of
Lexington, well-known in Paris,
where he has been a frequent attend
ant at social functions, writes to
friends here that while at Camp
Stuart, near Newport News, Va, his
regiment had been already issued
their overseas equipment and was en-
board a transport ready to sail when
they received orders countermanding
the voyage. He expressed great dis
appointment over not being able to
go overseas, and that the entire COM
mand seemed to be very much put
out" over it. Young Walton, who re-
ceived his training at Fortress Mon
roe, Va, in the artillery division, was
later transferred to Camp Stuart,
where he is member of Battery B.,
38th United States Artillery.

Naturally Reynolds will receive the
congressional nomination in this dis
trict; yet his friends will be wise to
take nothing for granted. A fit and
worthy candidate, able and loyal in
every fibre consistent in his democracy
and always fair away in his good citi-
zenship, the party of Woodrow Wilson
will in this crisis give him strong and
steadfast support. He has been faithful
his party should be.
But Democrats should "get out" in
the primary and be dutiful. With Nh
Reynolds as their candidate. stable,
steady, safe and true, they are sure of
one pre- eminently loyal character to
support Democrat.
