Many of them were with Harri-
son in the north in the war of
1912, and others were with Jack

leans. The county was largely
represented in the Mexican war.
Lieut.. Joseph Stewart, then a
young man, recently graduated

lar army, served through this
war. Other officers, in the vol

adjoining counties. Capt.
Squires died in Mexico, and his
body was brought back to the
county for burial.
Capt. William T. Willis, whose
father was one of the early set
tiers in the county when it was
part of Green, a lawyer of
prominence in his day, who had
removed to Jessamine, led a COM
pany from that county. He was
killed in the battle of Buena Wis.,
ia, and his body was brought
back to Frankfort for burial
with those of Mckee, Clay and
others.
The sentiment in the county
in the civil war was largely for
the Union, and several hundred
soldiers were furnished by it to
the Federal cause.

A DREAM OF THE MAID

The W. S. Dickey poetry prize at the University of Missouri was won this year by Miss Miriam Thur man of Wichita Kansas with "A Dream of the Maid' Last night as I knet slept and dreamed I you lying dead The chill rain fell on your face it seemed,
 And made q pool by your head. I woke forlorn in the early
 Wet with the tears I had she'd" Dear wife, fell by stunted oak
 When the first glint of morning showed, Where the meadow frogs in the marshes croak With the harshvoiced, rough tree-toad, Near pool made brown with leaves dropped down And over my body stowed.' Oh, where did you ride. last night, last night,
 When the wind sobbed down the glade, The swirling mist hung thick and white
 And I crossed myself and prayed?' The wind blew shrill and bitter chill.
 And fought by the side of the Maid" But the time is long since gone, alack
 Since the holy Maiden died But yesternight the Maid back,
 And with her, France did ride. Her sword she drew and the whole night through l fought with host by her sde' Her sword is broken and with rust" Nay, 1t gleamed like flame in her hand" And her moldy and buried in dust" Full armed her stand. A radiance beamed from her helm and streamed Like blazing, blood-red band. Three lilies worked in her brodered vest,
 On her baldric and shield three And red gold cross she her breast
 And mantle fell down to her knee. Her standard white and the words shone bright In gold thread, JESU Marie. "Throughout the night the shrapnel shell
 Raned down every hand, And burst and flared like glimpse of hell
 Through the dark of No Mans Land In narrow path like a mowers swath
 Silent she led our band "In the cross and good steel trust.
 Where the mist wraiths reel and dance We turned and cut and wheeled and thrust
 With never backward glance. The radiant Jeanne cried JESU ON
 WE RIDE TONIGHT FOR FRANCE . "On on we sped through the heaving black,
 For water sand dune stayed. Like the swift night wind and the flying wrack
 In the face of the cannonade Fast, fast we flew the whole night through
 And I fell at dawn by the Maid. "The ravens in the windy skies,
 The backbird titlts in the tree stare at the clouds with dim, dead eyes
 And the soft rain falls In the forest glade but I rode with the Maid
 And France, ah, France is free .'

need be said regarding that, after attention has once been called to it. Any citizen of average intelli gence knows what that would mean.
 The benefits to Phoenix from the execution of the project would be of two kinds, preventive and active. Either would far outweigh the proposed cost of our part in the campaign. Incidental to the ducton of the threatening level is the appli- cation of the water removed to large of land now without water without adequate supply of water. Many thousands of would be brought into cultivation and all this would add to the prosperity and growth of Phoenix.
 There some people chronically opposed to bond issues for any purpose: there is them thing evil in the sound. There others who have fancifu schemes for getting rid of the surplus water such schemes they have dreamed about and which they think would cost only trfe to put into effect
 The proposed plan, though, is that has been carefully worked out by trained men. It is very simple one. It proposes a beneficial use of the now menacing waters
 We cannot think the votes of the chronic anti bond citizens and the dreamers will be allowed to cut any figure in the election.

.FEL|zARDO ROBLES
 SOON FOUND GUILTY

Felzardo Robles. who was charged with an alleged assault on Anna Stiles was found guilty of the charge yester- day by Justice of the Peace Wheeler and given fine of $50 or the alter native of 30 days incarceration in the county jail.
 From the evidence adduccd at the trial of Robles it was proved that Robles occupied an apartment in the same house in which Anna Stiles lived with her husband. It was shown by testimony of the witnesses that Robles waited until the husband of the woman left the house and then tried to force his attentions on the woman. Accord ing to Mrs. Stiles testimony the man
 grasped her wrists and she resisted him until other people Tn the house | came to her assistance. | Although Robles pleaded not guilty | to the charge he did not offer any cor roborated evidence to substantiate his | defense.
 Robles being unable to pay the $50 l fine imposed upon him by the court
 was committed to the county jail. Judge Wheeler stated that he would
 recommend to the proper authorities l that Robles be dcported to Mexico as
 an undesirable alien.

The Howl of the Yellow Dog

The origin of a report the streets of Phoenix Monday evening should be investigated. It was a report what is called the yellow dog variety. It was in effect that the American army opposing the German offensive south of the Marne had been ann Inflated. As matter of fact there had been not the slightest basis for such statement. According to all the news that had the wires at that time, that later in the night, the American troops had acquitted themselves well and fully. They had yielded but for moment and then had driven the Germans back They had accomplished all that their most optimistic countrymen had ex- pected of them, more, than many had hoped they could accomplish in the face of trained German sol dlery.
 t may be profitable for people who start and circulate reports of this character to know that thereby they are bringing themselves within the pur- view of the department of justice. The Espionage Act is sweeping and comprehensive. One accused of offenses against has not at hand those usual de- lenses against accusations of crime There is in fact presumption of his guilt rather than of his inno- cence. He is apt to have a hard time of it if the machinery of the act is set in motion against him.
 Such reports may have of two origins. One may he of enemy origin; it may be started with the object of discowagng distressing loyal Americans and, anyway, it manifests animus against the country. Another may have it's inception in lying individual who really has nothing against his coun- try but who actually thinks he is patriotic. Bad has fascination for him. He is the kind Of man who feels joy in fire though his friends house be burning. There are some men who would go to the extent of starting such fire; they are called pyromaniacs. They not malicious and have other purpose in view than to gratify desire to flames and belchng smoke. They be distinguished from the incendiary whose object is revenge gain.
 There many persons who feel positive joy in bad news though it closely affects their friends; who welcome and forward scandalous reports and suffer disappointment when such reports are dis proved. This tendency is always present in some degree in gossipng persons.
 But they should understand that gossipng about American misfortunes in may be very dangerous business. This is the for yellow dogs" tt whom agents of the department of justice are authorized to take shot It is the duty of patriotic citizens point the whereabouts these yellow iogs'

"A Critical Situation"

Inspiring history of the Great War is being writ ten from day day in the citations for bravery ported by General Pershng. If read every of Americans.
 Here is
 Second Lieutenant William B. Moore
 Or June 6, 1918, he volunteered and took a
 truck load of ammunition and material into
 the town of Bouresches a road swept by
 artillery and machine gun fire, thereby relev-
 ing a critical situation"
 History of this sort does not use adjectives It written from the field of blood and iron, where description is a pathetic thing When Pershing says Lieutenant Moore relieved critical situation we arc safe in accepting that it all the term implies. American lives were hanging by thread. the line of Huns snapping at that break, straining to through.
 No one is surprised that there a Lieutenant Moore to take that truck load of materials through Hell to relieve that critical situation. There is al ways Moore, Hobson, Farragut, Funston, 10 meet any emergency of American arms.
 But that truck load of ammunition and material what if it had not been there and American bravery would have been futile? That's our busness-we stay -homes-to that those trucks piled high there. We be of it. Liberty bonds buy ammunition and material. The Fourth Liberty Loan is coming for six eight billions and we must be ready to back up that wonder army of Lieutenant Moorcs.
