Sunday-School-Day" and has called
upon all of the people of Kentucky to

WILSON ACTS IN
FlUME SITUATION
LET'S IT BE KNOWN THAT HE
WILL NOT SANCTION THE
ITALIAN CLAIMS.

Paris. President Wilson'S en-
phatic declaration that he will not
yield on the Adriatie question has
created the most profound sensation
in the peace conference. He has
thrown down the gauntlet to the sup
porters of secret treaties in man
ner which almost took away the
breath of the delegates who have
been urging compromises on points
covered by many secret documents
and at variance with the presidents
IA points.
President Wilson's sweeping decia-
ration while aimed directly at the
Adriasc problems also reaches the
Kiau Chau controversy in which ia
pan relies on secret agreements made
with Great Britain, France and Italy
in 1917, to support her in her claim
to the concessions held by Germany
in Shantung.
The peace delegates generally re-
gard President wilson's statement as
challenge, which once for all will
dispose of the question whether Sc
cret documents, of which many ma
tions participating in the war were
ignorant. are to figure in the peace
following an arEistice in which all
the allies pledged gave no regard to
secret treaties.

AMERICANS NOT IN
FAVOR Of 4 Trial.
DELEGATES DO NOT AGREE
VITA OTHERS THAT ALLIES
SHOULD PUNISH Ex-KAISER..
RESPONSIBLE TO GERMANS
U. S. Men Believe Trial BY Foreign
Country OF Head of Any Gov
eminent Would Be Hreech
OF Sovereignty.

Paris. - The American delegates
have been unable TO agree to certain
portions of the report adopted by tho
majority of the Commission on Re
sponsibility for the war. AS pre-
scented to the Council of Four, the
report contains a memorandum set
ting forth the American reservations.
The Americans object to the prin-
ciple that persons accused of offenses
against "the laws of humanity
should be subjected to criminal pros
ecution. They say that the laws and
principles Of humanity constitute a
standard too uncertain to be rightly
applied in legal proceedings.
The principles that heads OF states
should be liable to criminal prosecu-
ton for breeches of positive law is
another point in which they fail to
agree with the majority. The Areri-
cans express the belief that the es-
sence OF sovereignty lies in the fact
that head Of state is responsible for
his Illegal acts to the people from
whom ne derives his authorlty ana
not to any foreign country. It Is not
contended that this principle app;ses
to head OF a state who has abdicat-
ed, fer any proceedings against such
person would be against an indi-
vidual no longer embodying the soy
ereignsy of state. Nor does the
nrinciple apply to political offenses
committed by the head of q state
which may, il deemed expedient, be
made the subject OF judicial action
and punishment.
Holding these. views, the American
delegates were unable to concur in
the recommendation for the estab-
lishnent Of a high tribunal and 9
prosecuting commission for the trial
or criminal cases, as advocated by
the committee.
