Z POOR LOSERS.

The Huns are trying to shift re-
sponsibility, now that it is up to
them to cat. Appurtenances for an
election such as voting booths, lists
and clerks are all in readiness for an
immediate plebiscite on the peace
terms whcih can be completed all
over Germany in 48 hours, accord
ing to information obtained from
sources close to the government.
Preparations have been going on for
several days, it is declared and if the
terms are published one morning the
referendum can be taken the next
day and the answer can go to the en-
tente 48 hours later. 1t is asserted
that the only probably chance for an
affirmative answer would be in case
there is an agreement to negotiate
details of the terms. Thus, if an
indemnity is fixed Germany cannot
hope to dispute the total but must
be allowed to send experts to discuss
ways and means for payment, it is
said.
1t is declared that the cabinet
wishes to avoid the responsibility of
their refusing or accepting the terms.
Therefore a plebiscite is almost GER
tain. 1t is believed that the result
will be refusal to accept the peace
terms because the people will over
look the consequences of such an
act-the maintenance of the block
ade, the stopping of food importa-
tions and the accompanying evils
which may be expected-in view of
their reluctance to sanction harsh
terms. 1t is asserted that an agree
ment to negotiate the details of the
treaty is absolutely the only basis
upon which Germany in her present
mood will vote in the affirmative.

RICHARD Il. HILTON,

Sergeant, Company M, 18th Infantry.
Sergt. Hilton was decorated for con-
spicuous gallantry at Brancourt,
France, October IL, 1918. While Sergt
Hilton's company was advancing
through the village of Brancourt, it was
held up by intense enfilading fire from
a machine gun. Discovering that the
fire came from a machine gun nest
in shell hole at the edge of the town,
Sergt. Hilton, accompanied by a few
other soldiers, but well in advance
of them, pressed on toward this posi-
ton, firing with his rifle until his am
munition was exhausted, and then with
his pistol, killing six of the enemy and
capturing ten. In the course Of this
daring exploit, Sergt. Hilton received
a wound from bursting shell which
resulted in the loss of his arm. Sergt.
Hilton's home is at Westville, S. O.

BEST WAY Ton
REACH POLE.
Declares Use Of Dirigible. and Air
Planes Are Feasible For the
Trip.

San Francisco, April 25.-In the
way of modern methods of transpor-
tation as means of reaching the
North Pole, the submarine comes
first in the estimation of Vilhjalmar
Stefansson, Artic explorer. Next
comes the dirigible balloon, and fin
ally the airplane
"The submarine appears to me to
be perfectly practicable way of
reaching the pole as well as com
Portable way, for one could carry
all necessary comforts" said Stefans-
son on his recent visit here while dis
cussing Artic exploration with
friends.
II seldom have seen a stretch of
ice extending more than thirty miles
without coming to open water IN
der the circumstances there never
would be any difficulty in the matter
of getting to the service. Also the
navigation would be assured of calm
water when he came up in these ice
hemmed bits of water.
Inc submarine has already been
used for getting to ice-bound ports
by passing under the ice. They may
be provided with wheels so as to go
along the channel bottom. A large
submarine will weigh only about 600
pounds on the wheels when submers-
ed in this manner.
"In constructing an under-ice sub
marine the periscope and much of
the above deck construction would
be done away with, and in place of it
would be deck coming to ridge
similar to roof which would cut thru
thin ice when coming to the surface.
Ocean ice is mushy and ! have seen
whale come up through the thick
ness of six or seven inches of ice"

BERGER LEHMAN,

Private, Company H. 132nd Infentry.
Private Leman was decorated for
conspicuous gallantry in action near
Consenvoye, France, October 8, 1918.
When his company reached point
within 100 yards of its objective, to
which it was advancing under terrific
machine gun fire, Private Leman vol
unfairly and unaided, made his way
forward, after all others had taken
shelter from the direct fire Of an en-
emy machine gun. He crawled to a
flank position Of the gun and after
killing or capturing the entire crew,
turned the machine gun on the re-
treating enemy. His mother, Mrs.
Anna Leman, lives in Chicago.

First Lieutenant, 1f6th Infantry.

Lieutenant Smith was decorated for
conspicuous gallantry in action near
st. BAussant, France, September II
1918. Finding that his platoon would
be under heavy fire from six enemy
machine guns in crossing tile Rupt de
Mad, Lieutenant Smith plunged into
the stream ahead Of his men, and
crossing to the opposite bank, exposed
himself to fire from the guns in order
to ascertain their exact location. He
then led his men in a flank attack on
the enemy position, capturing the guns
and nineteen Germans, this officer him
self carrying a rife and using it with
telling effect. Lieutenant Smiths
quick Judgment and disregard for per-
ponal safety enabled the entire line to
advance without being separated from
its barrage. His mother, Mrs. Rita L.
Smith, lives in Austin, Tex.

The tango is dance of Mexican
origin, which is supposed to initiate
the actions of the negroes 1t has
the same rhythm as the Spanish ha-
banera, but is played must faster, and
is worked up faster and faster,
till it ends like the dances of the
modern ballet dances. Sometimes it
has five notes in the melody to four
in the accompaniment, and vice versa
and its peculiar harmonic progress
sions give It a weird fascination that
has much to do with its popularity.

Personnel Office, 7sth Division.
Sergt. O'Connor was decorated for
conspicuous bravery in action near St.
JNsisn, France, October IS, 1918
Sergt. O'Connor volunteered and went
from his division headquarters to one
of the regiments in line to obtain much
needed information and to arrange for
liaison. He covered the distance Of
six kiIometers through shell fire three
times before the unit was found and,
while returning with the information,
was seriously wounded by a shell
which mortally wounded two com
panions. He gave water and first aid
TO the two men and dragged himself
down the road until he met soldier
whom he sent for an ambulance. After
reaching the hospital and having his
wounds dressed, he left the hospital
without the knowledge Of the attend
ants and delivered the information to
his division headquarters in person.

Judicial PoIiteness.

Referring to the exaggerated polite
ness with which the English judge. as
contrasted with his brother on the
american bench, dissents from the
other members of the court, Law
Notes quotes from Judge Bowen in
Hutton VS.. West Cork A. Co. as fol-
lows: II need hardly say with what
hesitation 1 differ from the view of
Lord Justice Baggallay and Lord JUS
tlce Fry, and unfeignedly say that
l would rather trust their opinion
than my own, but unfortunately the
law does not allow me to do So"
The Kentuckian., 1919-04-26

Judge Carrolls statement that he
would exempt land from state taxes
is unworthy of the able jurist and
looks like a political play to catch
the farmer vote. Kentucky is an
agricultural state and real estate is
the basis of its great resources above
and under ground. To exempt real
estate from taxation would bankrupt
the state and tax commerce out of
existance. Surely Judge Carroll has
not been correctly quoted. The far
mers themselves would not be in fav-
or of having their lands exempted
and their crops taxed; besides the
state would have no means of col
lecting taxes on perishable products
months after the crop season had
passed and crops had been sold.

Sergeant Kocak (deceased) won the
Distinguished Service Cross for gal
lantry in action near Soissons, France,
July 49, 1918. When the advance Of

den machine gun nest, Sergeant Ko-
cak went forward alone, unprotected
by covering fire from his own men,
and worked in between the German
positions in the face of fire from enemy
covering detachments. Locating the
machine gun nest, he rushed it, and,
with his bayonet drove of the crew.
Shortly after this Sergeant Kocak or
ganized % French colonial soldiers,
