NOTED ENGLISH OFFICER
Delivers Fine Patriotic Address to
Large Audience at Opera House
Last Evening.

Lieutenant Kerf1ey, an English Of
ficer, of the Royal Dragons of Eng
land, delivered one of the finest and
most stirring patriotic talks that has
been delivered here, at the Washing
ton Opera House last evening.
Due to a mistake on the part of the
Publicity Department at Louisville the
date of Lieutenant Kerhey's arrival
was confused, and his coming was I'M
g. expected to all. 1t was then too late
to advertise his arrival and make ar
rangements through the newspapers,
so the assistance of Mayor T. M. Rus
sell was sought and who readily turn
ed over the Opera House to the speak
err after the second show.
To advertise the speaking, the bells
in town were rung, factory and boat
whistles were blown and automobiles
were driven from house to house with
speakers announcing Lieutenant Ker-
fey's arrival and soon a large crowd
was gathered in the Opera House.
Lieutenant Kerfey, since the out
break of the war has seen active SER
vice in France and is now out of ac-
tive service on account of lameness
caused by shell fire wounds in the
knee. In a most graphic and interest
ing manner, the Lieutenant told of
conditions in "No Mans Land" and of
the valiant stand the allies were max
ing against the gray horde, which was
making vain endeavors to break
through the Allies lines and devan-
tate the rest of France.
To the people at home, whose duty
it is to support financially and NOR
ally our brave Allies and our own
army over there, he appealed to them
to save every cent that could be saved,
and invest it in War Savings Stamps,
every bit of which goes into the ships,
that are to carry our army of boys
safely across to undo tyrants wrong
and to victory. Lieutenant Kerfey said
at is possible that the war will be
over in one year, if the people of
America buy Liberty Bonds and War
Savings Stamps and support the Or
CARNATIONS that are the backbone OF
the army, but if they lay down on
their part, four years may not see its
conclusion"

GOVERNMENT NEEDS
BLACK WALNUT
Has Asked "BOy scouts OF Amer
ica" to Locate the Timber.

In order to carry out the program
of the War Department it is of the ut
most Importance that large quaint
ties of Black Walnut Lumber should
be secured for its uses.
Black walnut is used by the Ord
nance Department for the manufac-
ture of gunstocks and by the Signal
Corps for the manufacture of pro-
pellers for battle and bombing air.
planes.
Scout Master B. Y. Chambers has
been requested, through the medium
of the boy Scouts of America. to
get the location of all timber in Ma
son county and furnish the Govern
ment with the name of the owners,
the sizes of the trees, and the price
at which it can be bought.
There are no longer, large individ-
ual lots of walnut timber, but there
is very large supply when collected
into groups or centers. At the pres
ent time there are to be found only a
few trees here and there.
With the exception Of mahogany
which has to be imported and thus
burdens the shipping facilities of our
country, no other wood is so well
adapted for airplane propellers and
since four or five propellers are re-
quired for each airplane and only the
best grade of black walnut can be
utilized for this purpose, it is impor-
tant that the Government know, i'm
mediately, the location of all available
supplies.
The information data, as collected
by the Scouts, will be sent, at once
to U. S. Forest Service, Washington
and placed at the disposal of the Gov
eminent.
Any land owner, having black wal
nut on his land or any one knowing o
single tree, will be doing their pa
triotic duty to notify Scoutmaster B
Y. Chambers by calling telephone Nc

end the war this summer is planning
to support its land offensive by send
ing its high seas forces against the
combined British and American grand
fleet. is given in an official dispatch

ering a big naval offensive. Orders
supposed to have been given to keep
whole fleet in readiness and certain
number of naval officers of high rank
have been hurriedly recalled from
Switzerland and other neutral coun-
tries, where they have been spending
their leave.
"The Keller Zeitung speaks OF ex-
traordinary activity in the ports ana
the Hamburger Post publishes an IN
terview with Won Tirpitz, who was
asked if Germany was in a position TO
measure herself with the English heet
The admiral naturally replied in the
affirmative, saying that after their
land forces have pushed the Frehch
and English back on the other sides
If Paris, it would be the turn OF the
Kaiser's boats to drive the Engllsh
off the high seas"
Both in Washington and in the Al
lied CAPITALS a German seas offensive
on a great scale had been recognized
as a possibility and the approach vi
the Teutonic fleet in the North sea at
ony time would not be unexpected
Rear Admiral Gleeaves said in pub
