HUNS AND AUSTRIANS
CONSPIRED TO BRING
ABOUT WORLD WAR

London, Nov. 26.-Publication OF
official reports from the Bavarian
minister at Berlin to his home gov
ernment confirm evidence to the en-
tente that Germany and Austrian
conspired to bring about the war.
1t was for this reason that the
terms of Au.stria's ustimatum to
Serbia were made so drastic that
hoStilities were bound to follow.
These revelations have been pub
lished in Munich after permission
had been asked by the Bavarian pre-
mier and foreign minister OF the
German federal government. They
are in the form of report sent to
Munich on July s, 1914, by Count Won
Lerchenfeld, the Bavarian minister
at Berlin.
According to the report the de
livery OF the ultimatum to Serbia
was delayed until after President
Poincare and Premier Niviani OF
France had gone to st. Petersburg,
which would make it difficult for
the entente nations to arrive at an
understanding and take counter
measures.
Count Won Lerchenfeld said that
Serbia, obviously cannot accept
such conditions as will be laid down
and as a consequence. there must
be war" He declared that action on
the part of Austria could not be
long delayed, for that might give
Serbia. under pressure from France
and Russia, an opportunity to offer
satisfaction
In a telegram to Munich from
Berlin, July 81. 1914, Count Won
Lerchenfeld said that Sir Edward
Grey's efforts to preserve peace
would certainly not succeed in ar
resting the course of events Later
the same day he wired information
as to ultimatums to Russia and
France, forecast their rejection by
both nations and told OF plans to
hurl Germany's army against
France, which, he said, would be
overwhelmed in four weeks" He
said that the morale OF the French
army was poor and that it was poor
ly armed.
On August 4, the Bavarian min
lister outlined Germany's intention
to violate Belgian neutrality, say
ing: The chief OF the general staff
has declared that even British neu-
trality will be paid for too dearly if
the price is respect OF Belgium. An
attack on France is possible only
through Belgium

statements to the effect that the

are indications that the horse and

MOTHER! GIVE CHILD
SYRUP OF FIGS" IF
TONGUE IS COATED
If Cross, Feverish, Sick, Bilious,
Clean Little Liver and
Bowels.

Children love this fruit laxative
and nothing else cleanses the tender
stomach, liver and bowels so nicely.
A child simply will not stop play
ing to empty it's bowels, and the re-
suit is, they become tightly clogged
with waste, liver gets sluggish, stom-
ach sour, then your little one becomes
cross, half-sick, feverish, don't eat,
sleep or act naturally, breath is bad,
system full of cold, has sore throat,
stomach-ache or diarrhoea. Listen,
mother! See if tongue is coated, then
give a teaspoonful of California
Syrup of Figs" and in a few hours
all the constipated food passes out of
the system, and you have a we'll,
playful child again.
Millions of mothers give "Califor-
MIA Syrup of Figs" because it is per.
fectly harmless; children love it, and
it never fails to act on the stomach,
liver and bowels.
Ask your druggist for bottle OF
California Syrup of Figs" which
has full directions for babies, chill
dren of all ages and for grown-ups
plainly printed on the bottle. Beware
of counterfeits sold here. Get the gen.
uine, made by California Fig Syrup
Company" Refuse any other with

LATONIA rs TO OPEN THURSDAY.
OCTOBER "a.

After consultation with the
health authorities of Ohio and Ken
lucky, General Manager John Hach-
meister, of the Latonia Jocky Club,
has announced that the fall race
meeting of twenty-one- days at the
Latonia track will not open until
Thursday, October "a. By that time
it is expected the influenza situa-
ton, which made it inadvisable to
attempt to inaugurate the meeting on
the date originally scheduled, will
have so improved that it will be
feasible to proceed with the meeting
along the lines originally laid down.
Under the revised schedule, the meet
ing will come to a conclusion on Sat-
urday, November 16. The original
programme, with its wealth of high
class stakes and other races, will be
run off without change, except as to
the dates.
1t seems certain that as result of
the postponement, the sport which
patrons of racing at Latonia may
look forward will be even better than
if the meeting had been opened
on schedule time. The added time
which the horsemen have had in
which to get ready for the opening
of the meeting has offered them so
much more opportunity for getting
their horses ready for the racing that
it may be expected that the daily pro-
grom from the very inception of the
meeting will be much better filled
than ordinarily. After the uneXpect-
ed interval between the meetings at
Louisville and that about to open at
Latonia, the horsemen will be eager
to race their horses as frequently as
possible and the result should be a
grade of sport the equal of which has
rarely been seen hereabouts.
The opening day program will be
featured by the running of the La
tonia Autumn Inaugural Handicap.
for which an especially fine field is
promised, including such stars of the
racing armament as Rancher, Bribed
Voter, Tuber, Viva America, Beaver
kill, Blackie Daw, Freecutter, Fruit
Cake, Manager Waite and FauX-Col,
to say nothing of several lesser lights
that are in the list of probable start
ers. At this writing, the Inaugural
holds out the prospects of being one
of the very best contests of the whole
Kentucky season Of 1918.
