Wild Bells Can't Ring
Out Peace Paen

PARIS, Dec. 30.-New Years bells
can ring no paen of peace to a war
torn world, it was indicated today.
The Versailles treaty, signed by al
lies and Germans at Versailles in June
still remains to be enforced.
While statements from peace con-
ferees and German officials alike in
dicate negotiations toward final ac-
ceptance of the protocai and the sub
sequent effectiveness of the treaty
are progressing, there seems little
chance the peace pact can be declared
in effect before 1920.
German determination to evade If
possible, the allied demand that she
pay for scuttling Of the interned Teu-
ton feet, sunk by its crews at Scapa
Flow, apparently was responsible for
the latest of a series Of delays.

|LUM W ALLEN
TAKES own LIFE
Commits Suicide BY Hanging Self
With Plowline at Home in Hem
ry, ON Last Monday.

Lunie w. Allen, aged 65 wears,
suffering from sudden arrangement
Of the mind, took his own life at his
home in Henry on last Monday after
noon, by Hanging himself with .ope
plowline in the barn near his house.
Mr.. Allen was apparently in sound
health up to few hours before he
committed the act. 1t is said that he
had brooded much over the physical
condition of his wife who has been
an invalid for some years, and was
stricken with paralysis last week, and
it is thought this caused his mind to
wander into foreign thoughts result
ing in arrangement. This condit-
ion was first noticed by one Of his
daughters late in the morning Mon
day, when she thought her father was
trying to cut his throat with a pocket
knife. She sehemed to get the knife
away from him, ostensibly to cut a
piece of wood. He at first objected,
telling her where she could get a
knife, but the daughter insisted that
the knife he had was sharper and he
let her have it.
Mr.. Allen afterwards went toward
the barn, and even at that time his
mental condition did not show any
extremes. When he failed to show
up for late dinner, his SON Charlie
went out to look for him, and at the
barn found him hanging from a
scantling by plowline, strangling to
death. He was Immediately cut
down, but the rope had done its work,
and Mr.. Allen expired before any as
sistance could be rendered.
LuIpie Wilson Allen was born oc-
tober 23rd, 1854, and was SIS years
old when life left him. In December
1874 he was married to Miss Bette
Merchant, and to this union 8 chill
dren were born, two boys and six
girls, all of whom survive. They
are Ben NJ, of Paducah, and Charlie
who was living at the home place.
The daughters are Misses Estella and
Lillian, who are teachers at county
schools, and Mrs. Doris Peoples
Mrs. Kate Phelps and Mrs. Nellie Cox
who live in the Henry section.
The funeral service was conducted
at.the home by Rev. w. T. Davis, and
the interment was at Palestine Tues
