They may have looked for a slovenly

There is also reason of despera-
ton Our swiftly ferried armies do
not more menace Germany by land

make cruiser raids hopeless. No

AN OFFENSIVE ADVERTISEMENT

OF psychology. provided he has ad-

be rhs best advertiser, but many good

they are gifted Eith horsesense. An
example of the fool as the writer of
advertisements is afforded in a full

There are perhaps few persons in
America who are not familiar with

Possibly the author of this merry

Much Damage
Is Caused BY
High Waters

Reports coming in from the low
lands along the riger and throughout
the Lick Creek section is to the eff
feet that farmers in these communi-
ties suffered heavy losses Friday and
Friday night from high waters in the
creeks. Especially is this true in the
Lick Greek section west of Greene
vile. Mr.. A. Gray is reported to have
lost more than 200 bushels of wheat
in the shock by the high waters Of
Lick Creek. Other farmers in the
same community also lost heavily Of
hay, wheat and oats. The corn crop
in the low lands is said to have been
overlooked also and damaged consid-
erably. This may not prove to be so
costly as it can be replanted yet. 1t
is to be feared that reports from
other sections of the county will
prove to be equally as disastrous.

WASHINGTON, June 21.-Word
reached the State Department today
from the Spanish ambassador at Ber-
lin that the German government has
agreed in principle to a conference
with representatives of the United
States to discuss the treatment, well
fare and exchange of prisoners, The
United States proposed such a con-
ference some time ago, but until to-
day had heard nothing from Germany
on the subject. Switzerland or Spain
probably will be the scene of the con-
ference, at which it is intended to
take up all questions relating to the
treatment and exchange Of prisoners,
including the pay of officers.

NE WDRAFT AGE LIMITS.

It appears probable that the seective draft law will
soon be amended as to age limits so that several million
additional men vii be included within its scope No def
mite recommendations have yet been made by the War
Department although Secretary Baker has ntmated that
:e no longer opposes raise in the age limit.
The suggestion has been made that the age limit be
lowered to 10 years the side and raised to As
on the other Before the department will deliver an
CATION made as to the effect it would have upon the
dustrial situation No doubt there exists very strong
sentiment in favor of including unmarried above 81
years old in the draft rather than taking married men
within the present statutory limits. But if the govern
ent were reach out for of 49, must first be de-
termined whether the industrial situation will be I'M
fayoraby afe?ted It would be considered poor policy
draft men of that age into the military service if by
doing crippled the railroads any of the essential in
drstrles engaged upon war work.
The War Departments original recommendations re-
lang to the draft favored the inclusion of men of 49,
but the House military committee opposed the limit be-
ING placed so low and the House itself very ephatcaly
sustained this view Congress then displayed strong
aversion to taking under 21, and unless that sen-
ment has undergone material change it will be difficult
now to reduce the age limit to that point if it should
be raied to As years on the the opposite side.
IN view of the fact that Glass viii be exhausted this
year revision Of the age limits appears quite probable
Either more single men must be brought within the scope
II that class or the War Department win have to begin
ealing men from the lower classes where the regsants
have greater responsibilities Some actin upon the sub
ject seems necessary.
