WILHELM TO PAY
PENALTY FOR WAR
FORMER KAISER TO BE PLACED
on TRIAL BEFORE A TRIBUNAL
AT LONDON
Lloyd George, Who Gives Unqualified
Approval to Work Of Peace Confer
ence, Promises Punishment for
Mad Dog Of Europe.

LOndOn.-In the house of commons
on July 3, Premier Lloyd George de-
ivered an eXplanatiO of the peace
treaty, which he described as the most
''mOmentOus document to which the
British empire ever affixed its SEAL"
Though showing the effects of his
long labors at Paris and lacking his
usual fire, the premier at times made
impassioned utterances, and was loud
ly cheered. His announcement that
the former German emperor would
soon be placed on trial before a trib-
unal sitting in London was cheered
most of all, while his presentation of
the AnglO.French convention, provid-
ing for British aid if Germany should
attack France unprovOked-a conven-
ton analogous to one between the
United States and France-was greet
ed with restrained approval.
Discussing the determination of the
allied and associated powers to place
on trial William HOhenzo1lern, the for
mer German emperor, as the man held
chiefly responsible for the war, he de-
clared that if such a course had been
followed after other wars, there
would have been fewer wars" 1t was
the intention to make such an example
Of Germany as to discourage others
from lever again attempting to repeat
this infamy."
There was a significant passage
when the premier first mentioned the
League of Nations. Many Of the men,
bers cheered, but seemingly nearly an
equal number burst into laughter.
Il beg Of you to try it. beg Of you
to take it seriously the premier pro-
tested.
Proceeding, he declared: "If it saved
only one generation from the horrors
Of war, 1t would be a great achieve
ment."

RADICAL CHANGE
IN MEXICAN POLICY
~ EXPECTED THAT PRESIDENT
WILL DEMAND PROTECTION
OF AMERICAN LIVES.
MexIcans Will Be Warned That Unless
Murder and Robbery Of Americans
Ceases We viii BE Compelled
to Intervene.

WashingtOn.-A radical change In
the administrator policy In the Next.
can situation may be expected imme-
diately upon the return Of President
Wilson next week.
The assurance was given on July 2,
by Senator King Of Utah, Democrat
and one Of the administrations strong
est supporters. who has been giving
the closest attention to the Mexican
situation. The senator's statement
was made while discussing the murder
Of John w. Cornell, an American citi-
zen near Tampico on June 10, news
Of which leaked out Tuesday.
Senator King expressed the opinion
that the administration would make
a demand. amounting practically to an
ultimatum. upon the Carranza govern
ment for guarantees for the protec-
ton Of American lives and property in
Mexico, accompanied by frank no.
tice that unless the murder and rob-
berry Of Americans cease at once the
United States will be compelled to in
tervene.
There has been marked change in
the Mexican situation since the sign
ing Of the peace treaty on Saturday,
according to Senator King. To have
sent an American army to occupy
Mexico and restore order there before
the signing Of the peace treaty would
have been to play into the hands of
Germany, he said.
Starts Nationwide Campaign.
The National Association for the
Protection Of American Rights in Mexi-
co has started a nationwide campaign
to arouse a public sentiment in the
country which will support the United
States government In taking without
further delay. whatever steps may be
necessary to secure that protection
for the lives and property of Ameri-
cans In Mexico which every govern
ment owes its citizens wherever they
may be-"
The association will act as a clear
Ing house for information about con-
ditiOns In Mexico. Facts will be
gathered through the extraordinary
facilities available to its membership
and placed ut the disposal Of congress,
the administration and the public.

AMERICANS DENIED
RIGHTS IN MEXICO
cARRANzA REFUSES TO PERMIT
OIL DRILLING ON AMERICAN
OWNED LANDS,
Compliance With Laws Laid Down
BY Mexican Dictator Would Mean
That Investors Give Up Lands
to Mexican Government.

WashingtOn.-The Mexican govern
ment has committed an overt act of
cOnfiscation in preventing American
oil well drivers to work on lands owned
by American individuals or companies
by sending soldiers into the fields and
driving away the wOrkmen, state de-
partment officials said Tuesday. Com
plant was made to the Mexican gov
eminent ON April 2 Of this year, it was
learned. against the refusal of the
government to grant permits to the
oil companies to drill. No answer was
received until after Juarez incident,
It was said, and then President Car
rama announced no permits, provision
al or otherwise, would be granted
until the companies had complied with
the law. Compliance with the law, it
was said by state department off,
cials, would constitute recognition by
the companies that the Mexican gov
eminent owned the oil lands.
The orders to the military forces
to prevent drilling by force of arms
were issued by President Carranza
last May 16, according to advices from
Mexico City on July 1. The petro-
leum department instructed the Mexi-
can war department, by direct orders
Of Carranza, to use any frees neces-
sary to prevent drilling without per-
NIT, although the lands on which drill
ing was being done had been legally
acquired by the present owners.
The war department transmitted the
orders with specific directions as to
action to be taken by the soldiers to
the military commanders at Tampico
and Tuxpam and Immediately compan-
les of soldiers were sent into the
fields. 1t Is not known how many
gangs were driven out Of the oil fields.

FIUME ISSUE FORCED INTO FORE.
GROUND BY ITALIANS, WHO
DEMAND TERRITORY.
Insist That All Territory Taken From
Austria be Definitely Disposed Of

Being Prepared.

Paris.-Premier Clemenceau, Secre.
tary of State Lansing, Foreign Minister
Balfour, Foreign Minister Pichon, Bar
on Maxine and Viscount Chinda of
Japan and Foreign Minister Tittoni of
Italy decided on July to constitute a
new council of five. This council Of
five will have as its members Secre-
tary Lansing, M. Pichon, Foreign Min
lister Balfour, Foreign Minister TittOni
and Baron Maxine, head of the Japan
ese delegation.
The council temporarily assume
direction of peace conference affairs.
A council Of ten will not be constituted
at present.
Foreign Minister Tittoni made It
clear at the meeting that Italy desires
that all territory taken from Austria
be definitely disposed of in the
Austrian treaty.
This Immediately projects into the
foreground the Fiume question, which
it had been hoped could be avoided.
While the council received the i'm
preston from Signor Tittoni that the
new italian delegation will be more
considerate than the old, it was a dis
tinct disappointment when Tittoni
expressed Italy's desire to have all
the territory taken from Austria
definitely allotted in the Austrian
treaty, as this makes it unlikely the
treaty can be concluded within the
week and foreshadows lengthy
discussion Of the question.
The council decided to appoint
Immediately committee to execute
the German treaty, and also a com.
mittee for the execution Of reparations,

WEEKLY REPORT
OF TOBACCO CROP
(By w. B. Kennedy

| didn't make a report last week
because there was no news of in
terest since conditions were about the
same as were given in my report of
the 10th, and there is very little of
interest that could be said today.
There is still considerable tobacco
scattered over the country in the
field. The weather having been wet
for the past three weeks and farmers
couldn't harvest it. And, they won't
be able to take it in until some warm
weather with sunshine. If it should
suddenly turn cold, no doubt a good
deal of this would be injured, but at
this time it is impossible to say what
the outcome will be. 1t has grown
and matured beyond our expectations
and will make good tobacco if it can
be properly taken care of.
There is very little new tobacco
moving, but there is some coming in
to Mayfeld every day and selling on
the streets. Prices for leaf range from
ID TO % cents and Tugs to 10 cents.
A few loads have sold in Paducah
and other markets at about the same
prices, but the bulk of the sales are
at Mayfeld, and the buying is being
done principally by Spectators. Just
how much they will take remains to
be seen. No doubt farmers will CON
tinue bringing it to the markets as
long as the weather conditions are
favorable.
1t is hard to say just when the mar
ket will open in earnest but generally
it is toward the first of December be-
fore much buying is done, and we
rather look for most of the buyers
to wait until then because tobacco

spend Saturday nights and Sundays
in debauchery and crime?
We hope there are no such places
and no such conditions. But is is a
fact that such charges are being
made, and the reports, whether true
or not, are hurting the county. If
true, the grand juy, now in session,
should be informed, and, if possible,
should bring the guilty into court
and to trial.

Not a Bite of
Breakfast Until
You Drink Water
Says q glass Of hot water and
phosphate prevents Illness
and keeps us fit.

Just as coal, when 1t burns, leaves
behind a certain amount of incom-
bustible material in the form of ashes,
SO the food and drink taken day after
day leaves in the alimentary canal a
certain amount of indigestible ma
terial, which If not completely elimina-
ted from the system each day, be-
comes food for the millions of bacteria
which infest the bowels. From this
mass Of leftover waste, toxins and
ptomain-like polsons are formed and
sucked into the blood.
Men and women who can't get feel
ing right must begin to take inside
baths. Before eating breakfast each
morning drink a glass of real hot
water with q teaspoonful Of lime
stone phosphate In it to wash out of
the thirty feet of bowels the previous
days accumulation of poisons and
toxins and to keep the entire alimen-
tary canal clean, pure and fresh.
Those who are subject to sick head
ache, colds, biliousness, constipation,
others who wake up with bad taste,
foul breath, backache, rheumatic stiff
ness, or have sour, gassy stomach
after meals, are urged to get quarter
pound of limestone phosphate from
the drug store, and begin practicing
internal sanitation. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone an enthusiast on the subject.
Remember inside bathing is more
important than outside bathing, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb
impurities into the blood, causing poor
health, while the bowel pores do.
Just as soap and hot water cleanses,
sweetens and freshens the skin, so
hot water and limestone phosphate
act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and
beYels.
