BILLY KING
Wounded Hero Returns
From France.

His many friends in Danville were
glad to welcome BILLY" King back
home again today. Billy landed in
the United States Wednesday after a
fine record with the famous 9Th Reg
iment of Marines in France and lost
no time in returning to Danville,
which he declares looks better to him
than Paris or anything else that
France has to offer. Billy enlisted in
the Marines last spring and at the
training camp had an opportunity to
enter an officers training school but
turned it down in order to get over
seas sooner. He landed in France in
July and after a short period of train
ing was assigned to the 9th Regiment
part of the famous 2nd Division.
The 2nd Division suffered a greater
percentage of casualties than any
other American division in the war
and it was this division with its heroic
marines which blocked the road to
Paris at Chateau Thierry and Belleu
Woods and later distinguished itself
in every battle until the armistice was
signed. Billy went into action for the
first time on September 18th in the
st. Mihiel drive, the first all-Ameri-
can offensive. He also went through
the terrible fighting in the Cham
payne drive and was in the Argonne
offensive on the Verdun front where
the Americans advanced day after
day for two months in the face of the
most terrific resistance of the whole
war. No words can do justice to the
heroism of the American troops who
in this great battle broke the back
bone of the German army and by the
time of the armistice had accomplish
ed the task which Marshal Foch had
described would take six months of
and action. In this battle
Billy was wounded by machine gun
bullet in the left arm, which is par
tally paralyzed as a result. He is
home on a months sick leave and is
busy today receiving the congratula-
lions of his friends on his splendid
record and on his escape from death
in the fiercest fighting in which Amer
lean troops were engaged.-Danville

In "The Bird of Paradise, which

House, Friday and Saturday, March
2lst and 22nd, with Saturday matt

Robert Stevenson found life most
interesting" the land "in which it
seems always afternoon, where
slender maidens, with black hair and
crimson lips, dance in ways strange
to European eyes. To carry out the
illusion and atmosphere in the play,
native musicians, dancers and sing

GERMANY TO GET
$4,000 Tons Of Sup.
plies Monthly From
Allies. Help Need
ed Until August.

BRUSSELS, March l5.-The Ger
man delegates to the conference here.
regarding the taking over by the AL
lies Of the German mercantile fleet
and the provisioning Of Germany,
have definitely accepted the condi-
tons imposed by the Allies.
A monthly ration for Germany of
100000 tons of food stuffs was fixed
by the allied commission which is in
this city comforting with German
delegation as to the turning over of
German merchant shipping and Ger
many-owned securities in payment
for food shipments.
The Germans observed that these
rations was smaller than they had re-
quested, and were pessimistic as to
the arrangement of satisfactory fl
nancial terms.
Germany expects that the Allies
will provide food supplies until Aug.
Is, which is the earliest possible date
that flour from this years harvest can
be counted upon, said Under-Secre-
tary of State Won Braun before leav-
ing for Brussels where he took part
in negotiations with an Allied COM
mission relative to food shipments
and the turning over to German ship
ping for the use of the Entente ma
tions.
Herr Won Braun said Germany
would ask for 100000 tons of
grain and monthly importation of
100000 tons of pork and fats, in ad-
dition to condensed milk, rice. oat-
meal and other commodities particu-
larry for invalids, infants and hos
pitfalls.
He estimated the cost Of these ship
ments at five billion marks.
1t is a matter of great importance,
he said, that food should arrive at the
earliest possible moment, and that
the total amount to be provided be
known, so that the government could
adjust rations until the next harvest.
only under these conditions is it
possible to combat Bolshevism and
bring the German people back to sane
conditions of life, and political and
industrial sobriety," he said.

THEOLOGICAL
CANDIDATE.
(Editorial.)

to have a Special Session OF
Congress to be called by the
President starts anew the po-
litical gossip in the Eighth Con-
gressional District about sue
cessor to the late Hon. Harvey
Helm. II is understood that
the power is lodged in the Gov
ernor to call this election and
set the date. II is not definitely
known when this will be done
but is thought likely to be call
ed in the near future in order
to have a representative for
the district in this Special SEES
sion.
This brings out the discus
sion of candidates. A number
of aspirants have let il be
known that they would serve
the Democratic party if the
honor of the nomination was
thrust upon them. Others are
spoken of as actual candidates
for the nomination. The most
favorably mentioned by the
voters of this section and the
most generally named in con-
nection with the nomination is
Charles A. Hardin, present
Judge of this Judicial District.
II is now conceded should he
decide to become a candidate
for the Congressional nominal
ton that there would be no
other candidate from either of
the counties composing hls
judicial District tor il is well
known that the Democrats of
Garrard, Lincoln. Boyle and
Mercer are solidly behind the !

at this time Chairman of the |
State Central and Executive |
Committee of his party, makes
him considered a most formid-
able candidate should he enter
the race. He is not at this time
a candidate, nor is he in any
wise seeking the office. In
fact it would be "a sacrifice for
him to make the race; but his
friends seems to think if there
appear a popular demand
throughout the district. that he
should become "A candidate and
