MAMMOTH CAVE LONG FAMOUS
Has Been Acknowledged One Of the
Worlds Wonders, Practically
Since the Year 1909.

The most famous cavern In America

Mammoth cave was an old Indian ref

lures is written plain in the skeletons.

been found in the cavern depths.
Then, in 1909, a white man. pioneer
hunter, followed wounded bear into
the mouth Of the great cave, and from
, that time on Mammoth cave became
h American estimation the eighth
wonder of the world.
Almost as soon as the white man
discovered the cavern he began to
make practical use of it. Long before
the era Of Indian possession bats had
inhabited the cavern halls and In the
course of time their skeletons had &C
cumulated on the floor, especially
near the entrance. These skeletons,
containing nitrate, played an impor-
tant part in the war of 1912. for
nitrate, SO needed for making eXplo-
siNeS, was scarce In the colonies ana
the Mammoth cave became the main
source of supply.
When the country, settled down to
A period of comfortable prosperity,
Mammoth cave became, even more
than it is today, great show place
of America The caves history Is told
In the names of the various rooms and
galleries. Jenny Lind and other artists
visited the cave and sang or played
the airs that had made them famous
In "Ole Bulls Concert Hall" or other
cavern corridors. In a room since
named booths Amphitheater, Edwin
Booth was inspired to declaim some
Of the lines of Hamlet before a small
and select audience.

HAVE TO SEARCH FOR POET
Great Mind by No Means Easy to Find,
and Some Can Never Dis
cover Him.

There was once small hut mighty
nation. now numerous as the sands or
the scashore, and no longer so inter
esting. To this nation was born
poet. and they made him the poet of
all time. They took him and taught
him all they knew--and they had
great things 10 teach; and when. nj
their command. ne made great dramas,
they stood M his elbow; and every
thing they gave him he gave back to
them tenfod.
England was then Shakespcare's
land.
The poet IL always amongst us; the
difficulty is how to find him; he is like
the proyerhial needle in bundle of
hay.
But one thing Is certa'n-loc'cinns
without love will not find him; they
leave n desolation. and call II peace
nay, they call Il culture. Critics OF
this sort viii allow nothing To exist
except themselves. No, am wrong
There IL one thing they admire more
even than themselyes-the fat nc-
compll mundane success. -- John

THE PRINCES VISIT,

ish twice and we can do it again.
The soldier who had fought beside
the English. interrupted the sailor
whom do YOU mean when you say
We licked the British? Where was
your father born?"
In Italy replied the sailor
And where was your mother
born?" asked the soldier
In Sweden
And you say. We licked the Brit
ish' Now. I'll tell you something.
NV family came over here in lblJ,
and members of it helped win the rev
oluton and the war of 1872. The
people who are not going around to-
day with big talk of Americas night
ing Britain again are the descendants
of the men who won our national III
dependence. Americans of oldest
stock. who ought to have ideals Of
true Americanism if anyone has them
are not spelling for a fight with
country that wishes us we'll and is
anxious for our friendship The peace
of the world depends upon harmony
and cooperation between the branches
of the English-speaking race
A newspaper published in New
York City had the interesting and
unique idea of printing several edi-
torials demanding that the young
Prince of Wales stay away. THE
king business is played out it re
marked The editorials stopped after
readers of the paper had swamped the
office with disappearing letters.
America does not want a king and
does not care for the pomp of court
ceremonial. Yet we have the good
sense and good taste to let other coun.
tries cling to such harmless symbols
as they please. without volunteering
to settle the question for them The
prince ought to be welcome here.
His visit is an evidence of good will
on the part of friendly people who
wish to work with us for the general
welfare Of the world.

Copyriuht Acts,

The first net providing for the copy
right of books and other publications

WASHINGTON, June 17.-Formal de-
bate opened to-day on the Knox resolu-
ton to serve notice on the peace
conference that the Senate will take its
time to consider the league of nations
and desires the covenant to be divorced
from the treaty of peace with Ger
many.
Senator Knox, former Secretary of
State, opened the debate with a care
fully prepared address. He defed Ad-
ministration Senators to take the posi-
tion of denying the American people
the right to consider carefully before
taking a step which overturned all
their historical traditions.
Debate on this resolution will go for
ward daily, with indications that cen
sideration OF appropriation measures
by the Senate will continue at night,
beginning tomorrow. Senator McCum-
Der, the only Republican Senator who
is out and out for the league, will
speak tomorrow, and Senator Thomas,
of Colorado, one Of the Democrats who
is not enthusiastic about the league.
will follow the next day.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-18
Striking Sentences From,
Senator Knox's Speech

"A vote to deny the right of
the Senate to have time to consider
this question (membership in the
league of nations) is vote to deny
the right of the people to consider
the greatest problem put before them
since it was determined that this
Union was one and inseparable."
"Our President has declared tho
Irish question-the political dyna-
mite of the whole Anglo-Saxon race
might properly be the subject Of
consideration by the league. By
parity Of reasoning it may we'll be
contended that the negro question Of
the United States might received a
like consideration"
II ask for time merely to consider
whether under the covenant as drawn
the power to put US at war will be
placed in body outside our own gov
ernment, whether such lodging of
this sovereign power is desirable"
"The league provision completely
wipes out the Monroe Doctrine as it
has been accepted and enforced for
100 years."
