Paducat, KY, Jan. 29.-Descend1ng
ice gorges in the Tennessee and Ohio
rivers, converging here today, swept
the winter fleet of packets and other
craft from their moorings at up river
points and in the Paducah harbor
and carried it on down the Ohio river.
Appeals for help from persons ma
rooned on the icebound craft plainly
were heard as they were carried past
this city.
A report from Metropolis, ILL.,, said
several packets were seen standing on
end in the ice as the floe passed that
place.
The number of boats caught in the
torrent has not been determined. 1t
was said that they probably would
reach more than a dozen. A prelim-
mary estimate of the damage, if all
were lost, placed it at more than
100000.
Eagle line steamers, st. Louis pack
cts, several Tennessee river and other
smaller craft were in the harbor here
when the gorge broke. The boats
rocked and swayed with the impact
of the ice. Additional cables were

Washington, JAM 29-Charges that Germany is violating
the terms of the Russian truce by withdrawing troops from the
eastern front and transferring them to the western battle lines
were made today by the department.
The department made this statement:
The general staff of the United States army announces

transferred to recruiting stations and

1.-THE troops are taken in this way,

Political Gossip

Tucson Citizen: Although Carl Hayden, congressman from Arizona, was given a majors commission less than a month before the general cleo tion and was permitted to retain his seat in congress, John Delaney, who represents the Sixth Brooklyn Con gressional district, and is running for reelection, was not permitted to enter the army, although he agreed to re- sign. MT Delaney announced in New York that the war department, with the approval of the president, had ruled that no members of the house of representatives could enter the United States army. Congressman Delaney, who is 40 years old, has been trying for year to break into the army and on September 27 was notified that he had passed, but was not given a commission. He saw Secretary of War Baker, who in formed him of this decision, then Con gressman Delaney offered to resign, but was not permitted to do so.
 Just what happened to this ruling when Carl Hayden was given his ma jOrity commission is not clear. Ap- parently there was discrimination in his favor It is known that the dem ocratic leaders of the house became greatly alarmed over the possibility of MT. Hayden's defeat and figured out that the only way for him to over come the opposition of a man who had been serving in France was through giving him a majors com mission. for which he says he applied more than year ago.
 On the receipt of his commission Major Hayden announced that he was leaving Washington immediately for Camp Lewis, to which he was as- signed Four days after he arrived in Phoenix, where he has been ever since. It is announced that be will remain in Arizona until election day While Lieut.. Maddock has been fight ing in France Major Hayden has been campaigning in Arizona, but we have an idea that there are hundreds of men and women in this state who have boys fighting with Lieut.. Mad dock over there who will not forget him on election day.

 God forbid that we talk peace and shake hands with such bloody mur derers. Let us remember LouYain Liege. Noyon and other Belgium and French towns.
 Through your editorial you say No From the very start you have been cleancut and clear on this vital point So is the British and French press and no wonder, for they are talking with the experience of four years of undying sacrifice. No wonder they want to punish all the murderers from the kaiser down, in the army and the navy which is responsible for such atrocities. Let us remember when we punish the Hun, that we are consider ing his welfare, as it is the only way to change him, and in due time they will come so as to be considered as fit subjects for our friendship. l am delighted that through your editorial notes you are hastening that most de- sirable period.

Amendment 100
What It Means to the Widow and
 Orphan

Under the present Workmen's Com pensation law, in case of the death of an injured workman, the widow and ! children surviving cannot receive compensation until an administrator shall first have been appointed. Then 2,400 times one-half the daily wages or earnings of the decedent (NOT TO EXCEED, HOWECVER, IN ANY CASE THE SUM OF $4,000), is paid over by the employer to the admin istrator and held in trust for the widow and children. Every time that the widow or children are in want of money they must go to the aSminis- trator and if it meets with his ap- proval and that of the court, they get it., otherwise not. This money is applied to the support of the widow and support and education of the children, not according to the ideas and wishes of the mother, but accord ing to the ideas and wishes of the administrator and under the direc- ton of the court.
 For example, let us presume a workman 30 years Of age earning S6 per day at the time of receiving an injury resulting in his death. and that he left surviving a widow or children. Before the widow or children can re- ceive compensation under the present compensation law, an administrator must be appointed by the court, after which S4,000 is paid over to him by the employer and every time the widow or children are in need of money they must receive it from and subject to the approval of the ad- ninistration and of the court
 Under the proposed Workmen's Compensation law, known as Amend ment 1O0 the widow or children would immediately begin to receive com pensation from the State Industrial Accident board paid out of the ln- dustrial Accident fund at the rate of 66 2-3 per cent of the daily wage be- ing received by decedent at the time of injury and would receive such pay ment semi-monthly for a period of 1900 days or, in other words, they would receive approximately S6 every two weeks for 1900 days or a total of S7,6OO without delay, court costs, attorney fees or costs of administra- tion as against S4,000 under the pres ent law less those expenses.
 Amendment 100 is the most prog ressive legislation offered the people of any state along this line and should receive the solid support of Arizona's citizenship.

An Open Letter

Editor Review:
 Yes, that's true, too, and l sure feel like embracing you every time 1 read your editorial notes on the universal question:: The war. Stay with it, you are on the right path. The path of unconditional surrender. The way the Hun has to travel or die with his boots on, as you put it. England and France feel that the Huns are ap- preaching that path little too quick ly. as the feeling of revenge is such 'that they would rather make them die with their shoes on, which they fully know they can make them do with the help of their American allies.
 Yes, they are coming fast towards our terms. Six months ago they de- manded all the important towns of France and seaports of Belgium, yes, and the British grand fleet. the silent, yet the most powerful partner in se- curing victory. I can hardly find fault with the British and French for their revengeful feeling. Could you shake hands and talk peace with bunch of murderers that broke into your house. and after forcing you out, occupied your house and property for six months, and mistreated your wife and children; have them to work and serve them in every way?

The Western Front Is
 Still Key Of Great Var

While the peace offensives have ebbed and flowed and the war of words goes steadily on, the western battle front, that real and vital and only index of the pro- gress or retrogression of peace, has re- mained practically stationary for some ten days past The Hun holds his line; holds it desperately, doggedly, determinedly He still holds Ghent, Tournai, Valenciennes. Rethel and the line of the Argonne-Meuse, all points threatened and expected to be taken long ago and immediately following his retreat from the Hindenburg line The foes machine gunners are his main de- fense, and right well have they justified his faith in them.
 And in corresponding degree, as his lines hold against the allied onslaught, will the German resistence to the allied ulti- matum of unconditional surrender stiffen and stand The Bulgar line broke in Mace clonia under pressure; the Turk armies were overtaken with disaster in the Syrian desert; the Austrians are crumbling away under the Italian hammer strokes, but the German, bruised and beaten, still holds firm in the west.

 nation talks too much, or even talks at all, of peace.
 Of course, the main reason for this Ger man stay on the present line is due to in evitable delay in bringing up men and ma terial for another major drive When Foch Is ready to strike again in force, be sure the foe will reel back from his present lines, and Foch Is due to strike again now at any hour. But under normal and even livek, pressure at the vital points named above the German army has fought with its old courage and stubbornness and under the same skillful leadership as of old,
 The German military leadership, under reverses in the field, is more fearful of the situation at home right now than it Is of the allied armies. A German victory in the field would change the German situation at home over night, and the same old ar rogant dream of conquest would glow again beyond the Rhine Until the Ger man army is either beaten or disarmed or until the allies take over fortresses and po- sitions that make armed resistance impos- sible, the allied nations can put their trust in their armies alone and their might in the field. By superior force alone can we advance toward peace with the German. He has still mighty and unbroken army. The allies should have only one thought until that army either surrenders or meets with disaster, and that Is to go on with the war with might and main, exerting every atom of strength and expending every pos sible resource to shatter the last ,vestige of tional surrender

 North of Grand Pre- the enemy's flank is protected by an impenetrable labyrinth of wooded hills and ravines. the Bois De Bas and the Forest De BOult, which it is in the interest of both the French and American armies to turn. General GOuraud's front of attack is directed northeast sthat of that of the Americans is directed straight north. It is clear that as Gouraud's army advances northeast across the Argonne in the direction of
  gress northwards, that the mass of the Boult forest and the Bois De Bas will be turned by the French from the northwest and by the Americans from the east and must be evacuated by the enemy.
 The future operations towards Mezi- eres and the German main lines of communication with Germany seem to depend largely on the success of the battles launched today on both sides of the Argonne. When the enemy has been evicted from the woods and ra- vines of the great forest and the French and American armies have joined hands beyond it. the way to the north will be clear
