TWO TIMES ACROSS
The COUNTRY WITH
AMERICAN SOLDIERS
Former Maysyille Man Now In "Y"
Work Makes Enviable Record and
Is Held in High Esteem by
Boys - Cheers Soldiers
While on Troop Trains.

The following is from the Pittsburg
hronicle-Telegram and will be very
interesting to the many friends in this
city of Mr.. e. e. Clark, typewriter ex-
pert who left this city to engage in Y.
M. c. A. work at the outbreak of the
world war:
Atlanta, Ca, May 23.-Two times
across the United States from coast
to coast, with visits to IL military
camps, and 10000 miles to his credit,
is the record of E. e. Clark, who went
into the Y. M. G. A. transport service
December 8, last year, and has been
| serving as troop train secretary since.
Mr.. Clark's home is in Glenfeld, near
Pittsburgh, Pa. He enlisted for over
seas service, but proved SO valuable
on troop trains that he was kept on
this side.
Mr.. Clark was in Atlanta recently
on his way to New York after accom-
panying a train of soldiers to Camp
Kearney, California, in which were in
cluded 60 men from the outfit of Lieut..
Quentin Roosevelt
And those men certainly loved
Quentin Roosevelt" he said. "The
son of the President has builded for
himself a memorial in the hearts of
those boys"
Mr.. Clark is one of the most popu-
lar secretaries in the "Y" service. The
boys call him Dad, and recently a
letter, signed by 1926 American dough-
boys, was sent from one of the troop
trains on which he was travelling to
the Y. M. C. A. headquarters at New
York, commencing him for his work.
Also, Mr. Clark bears on his right
shoulder little round insignia, which
he explains, is the official isignia of
the Aero Gunnery School, Thirtieth
Squadron, and was sewed upon his
sleeve by some of the areo boys when
he was travelling with them across the
country.
"They took me into the baggage car
made a presentation address and a
squad of them affixed the insignia" he
said. They did a pretty neat job OF
it, I'll say"
Since ehlisting, Clark has been fouI
times to Camp Gordon, with troops
and has visited each of the following
camps; Pike, Humphries, Lee, Dix
Meade, Sherman, Taylor, Shelby
Dodge and the Preside.

Holding Court In Lexington-Judge
Cochran Fayors Lexington
Over Winchester.

The second Monday in January will
more than likely see the inauguration
of federal court in Lexington. There
after it will be held semi-annually, be-
ginning on the second Monday in Jan
uary and the second Monday in June
in each year.
The court now seems a certainty, in
view of telegram received by Sena-
tor Thomas A. Combs Monday from
Senator A. o. Stanley, saying that the
bill introduced by the former governor
for the establishment of federal court
in Lexington is unanimously favored
by the Senate judiciary committee. Ac-
cording to Senator Combs, this action
by the judiciary committee probably
will be confirmed by both houses of
Congress without further delay.
Establishment of federal court in
Lexington is something for which law
yers and other interested parties have
been striving. Congressman ]. Camp

Winchester should be the location oi

LLOYD GEORGE HIT
IN SPECIAL ELECTION
Popular Discomfort Seen in
Choice Of Independent
Liberal.
PREMIER WAS IGNORED
Letter Of Endorsement to OPP
ponent Failed to Win
Seat.
PREMIER WAS IGNORED

LONDON, March 15.--Politicians look
election in the West Legion division to-
day as a sharp reminder to the Coalition
Government Of Premier Lloyd George of
popular discomfort. The division re-
turned A. e. Newpouid, an independent
Liberal, who was defeated in December
by a majority of 1000 over X. f. Mason.
Coalition Unionist In the general
election in December the Coalition
Uniontst, Col. Wrishtson, whose death
made to-day's election necessary, polled
1900 votes to Newbould's 5000.
This result with the fact that Rear
Admiral Sir w. II. Hall, Coalition Union
list. was returned for the West Derby
division Of Liverpool recently by a
greatly decreased majority is taken to
show that the political tide is turning
In the case of Admiral Hall the Coali-
tonists were able to argue that the
result meant merely that his predecessor,
Sir F. e. Smith. since appointed Lord
High Chancellor, enjoyed unusual pres
tge and personal popularity
The Newbould case Is different. Pre-
mier Lloyd George wrote a letter APP
proving the candidacy of Mr.. Mason as
supporter OF the Coalition Government
Mr.. Newbould then sent letter to the
Premier pointing out that Mason had
consistently voted against the Liberal
policies of Lloyd George and against his
social measures, whereas Newbould had
always supported the policy Of Lloyd
George. The Premier failed to reply to
the letter and the Liberals made great
capital of the fact.
Politicians credit this change in senti-
ment TO the Governments financial pol
Icy, which c. F. G.. Masterman, a former
member of the Cabinet, calls THE Road
to Ruin"
Appropriation bills for the coming
fiscal year which the Government has in
troduced in the House OF Commons in
the last few days included So 200, 900, 900
for the army, which is more than ten
times the scale before the war; $745,-
100000 for the navy, which is roughly
Ave times the rate before the war
S325. 900. 000 for the service budget and
S2,475, o00.0 900 for the civlI service, the
appropriation asked for the civil service
being nearly two and a half times the
Governments annual expenses before
the war.
The army appropriations asked for by
Secretary Churchill were designed to
cover all possible contingencies and are
susceptible Of great savings, but the or
| binary man fails to take that fact into
account.
Another cause of dissatisfaction Is the
| continuance of CONSUMPTION in a limited
| measure and the general impotence to
get the country back to a peace footing

PARIS, March 15.--It is stated in re-

that France. Great Britain Ind the

The delay has created an unusually

the French Minister of Finance. For
a week the French Parliament has been
confronted with burning problems of
finance. Where and how is France 10
get money?
Faced with a budget ,eflcit of more
than $1,000, 900, 900 and the task of re-
constructing the entire northern part
of France, with no assurance of collect
ing enough from Germany even to in
sure the restoration of industrial life
in the devastated region, the French
Government has been before the Cham
her OF Deputies since Friday of last
week pleading for time until 1t Is able
to determine how much indemnity will
be obtained from the enemy in the
preliminary treaty.
KIots Placed in Dilemma.
Minister Klotz undoubtedly is aware
that this sum will be small, compared
with previous estimates, and with this
knowledge that the initial payments at
best will be meagre he is confronted
with the necessity either of demanding
heavy financial payments from the
French taxpayers and floating a con-
eolidated loan increasing enormously the
amount of bonds issued for the national
defence, or OF asking further advances
from the Bank OF France.
AS the president of the budget COM
mission said:
what France desires is first the
establishment OF her priority right to
receive payment of the debts owing
10 the invaded provinces and to repair
war damages. and second the pooling
and joint liquidation by all the Allies
of all other war expenditures
why should we not speak out? If
France had not Immediately sacrificed
herself to arrest the onward march OF
the invaders what would have become
of most of the other countries? France
has right to lift up her voice; no.
body can gainsay It."
