coming staff and crown member for
which all the hundreds of students
strive:

Staff and Crown, the Senior women's
honorary fraternity entertained the
eligible Junior women at card party
at Patterson Hail.
Each year such party is held by
the members of the society for those
who are eligible to become Staff and
Crown members for their Senior year.

be a Junior in the University. She
must have spent year of that time
at Kentucky. She must be far above
the average in scholarship, that is she
must have no DIS and predominance
of AS. She must be active in college
affairs and take an active part in one
or more of its activities. She must
be of high standing in her personality
and character, well liked and admir-
ed by her fellow students and in fact
be as near the ideal in as many ways
as possible.

RIVER ROUTE
SETTLED FIRST
Then Central Routes To Be
Considered Is MIR. Wiley's
Latest Statement.

Judge Newman. of Hawesville,
chai,anan of the Ohio River Route
Association in conversation with the
secretary Of the Association, Mr..
Paul Lewis, of this city, stated that
he had received a letter from Rodman
Wiley, State Commissioner of Roads,
to the effect that the Ohio river route
from Louisville to Paducah would be
considered and definitely settled be-
fore action is taken on any other
route. He said the central route
would be considered by the road de-
,2artment after the Ohio river route
nd BEN decided upon.
$This meaf:.., that the possibility of
the Ohio river route is virtually set
tied The next decision will be the
course of the route, and then bids let

consume several weeks time.

German Administration Sees
Danger Lurking If There
Is Further Delay.

A special despatch by the A. P.
from Weimar says that the National
Assembly voted on Monday after
noon to sign the peace terms uncon-
ditionally, the German government
having succeeded in overcoming the
opposition of those who insisted on
two conditions.
The date for signing the terms had
not been settled but it will be this
week probably Tuesday or Wednes-
day.
1t is said that the complete surrend-
err of the enemy was not surprising to
President Wilson, Clemenceau and
Lord George, the three men who have
shouldered the responsibility of the
allied negotiations. They were of
the firm belief that there was no
other course for the German govern
ment to pursue than that of submit
ting to the Allies.
There is no doubt but what Wilson
Clemenceau and Lord George be-
came impatient with the dilly-dalling
of the enemy in signing the peace
terms, and they were prepared to re-
sort to drastic measures. At any
rate, the Germans evidently saw dan
ger lurking in the future, and so their
decision was quickly made.

JUDGE newman IS D|SPLEASEO
WITH THE LAST ROAD MEETING.

withdrew your objection and no one
asked for vote by counties. 1t
therefore seems to me improper for
you to be now questioning the action
of the meeting.
IL agree with you that there seems
no reason at present for calling a
meeting of the Ohio river route. 1t
will certainly be proper for you to
call meeting when requested by the
majority of the counties in the organ
ization. Your statement upon re
quest of the majority of the counties
bordering on the Ohio river. from
Louisville to Paducah,' ignores at
least three counties. Ohio, Mclean
and Webster, which are members of
the organization, although they do
not border on the. river. Possibly
your use of the expression bordering
on the Ohio river was an oversight.
Request May Be Premature.
Il note that you say that you have
written Mr.. Wiley that all the coun-
ties are ready to pay their part of the
costs and earnestly requested him to
designate the Ohio river route
am not quite sure that this earnest re-
quest is premature, in view of the re-
quest made by the organization at the
meeting held the 11th., that all pro-
posed routes be surveyed. | under
stood that you approved that re-
for tha fhat NJ Col
braith, the federal engineer, had fail
ed to go over or report on one of the
routes through your county. 1t is
possible that this route has since been
inspected and reported on either by
a federal or state engineer. How
ever, there is one other proposed
route which had not been surveyed
viz: the more direct route from
Marion through Webster and Nc
Lean counties to .Owensboro. 1t
seems that by some misunderstood
ing between Mr.. Galbraith and the
officers of Crittenden county, Mr. GAL
braith, on going east from Marion,
went over only the route through
Union and Henderson counties. AS
! thought you knew, Crttenden coun-
ty joined with Webster and Mclean
in requesting that the direct or back
route be also surveyed and the re-
quest made at the recent meeting of
the organization certainly contemp-
lated a, survey of that route. And you
know have always taken great in
terest in that route and after the re-
cent meeting | wrote to Mr.. Wiley
and suggested that it would be ad-
visable and would help Chittenden
county carry its bond election on the
18TH, il an engineer could start over
that route before the 18th, Mr.. Wiley
did request division engineers Crozier
and Hollingsworth to inspect this
route, and understand they are now
on the route. do not know of any
other proposed routes that have not
been inspected; but am strongly of
the opinion that no request should go
to Mr.. Wiley to designate this Ohio
river route until we are sure that all
proposed routes. where there is any
reasonable chance of their being fin
anced, have been inspected by some
one properly designated by Mr..
Wiley. His action above mentioned
with reference to the route between
Marion and Owensboro indicates that
he will grant all reasonable requests
to have proposed routes inspected.

Judge U. w. Newman, OF Hancock
county, is not pleased with the good
roads meeting held in Owensboro on
June IL, and is threatening to bolt"
In fact he does not recognize the vote
taken to the effect that the next meet
ing of the delegates from the Ohio
river counties would be held in
Owensboro after June 49, :
Judge C.. w. Wells, who received
a letter from Judge Newman poster
day, takes exception to several of the
statements made by the Hancock
county officials, and has written to
him and all of the county judges in
terested in the Ohio River route, a
letter, setting forth his position on
the matter of highways with federal
aid. Judge Wells insists that the So
called back counties be given a hear
ing at all times.
Judge Newman's Letter.
Below is the letter Judge Wells re-
ceived from Judge Newman:
"The meeting held at Owensboro
on June 11th., was entirely without
results, insofar as the Ohio river
route is concerned; it was voted at
that time without the majority of
Ohio river counties, that the meeting
would be held in Owensboro after
June 18TH, 1919.
II know of no reason at present
for calling a meeting of the Ohio
river route, but will be glad to do SO
when it seems necessary to me, or by
request of the majority of the coun-
ties bordering on the Ohio river, from
Louisville to Paducah.
II have written Rodman Wiley
that all the counties in the Ohio river
route, stand ready at this time to pay
their part of cost of road construc-
ton, and earnestly requested him to
designate the Ohio river route.
II earnestly request all county
judges in the Ohio river route, to ad-
wise and suggest to me at any time
any thing that will have tendancy
to help our cause.
"The next meeting may or may not
be held at Owensboro, KY"
Judge Wells Reply.
The reply of Judge Wells to Judge
Newman follows in full:
Yours of June 18th is surprise
to me. Presumably il is a circular
sent to all the county judges. l am
therefore sending copy of this letter
to each of them.
"Your first statement is The meet
ing held in Owensboro on June 18th,
was entirely without result, insofar
as the Ohio river route is concerned"
assume that you did not intend that
statement as criticism of the meet
ing; for my recollection is that in a
conversation that morning you said
to me in substance that you knew of
nothing that could or ought to be
done at the meeting.
your second statement is one
which surprises me, viz: 1T was
voted at that time without the ma
jority of Ohio river counties. that the
meeting would be held in Greensboro
after June 18th. 1919 It is true that
acting as chairman. of the meeting, Il
took an aye and nay vote on the
question of adjourning and holding
the next meeting in Owensboro after
June 18TH. instead of having the coun-
ties called. No one objected to the
manner of the vote At that time. Lat
er when you seemed TO question L,
! offered to have the counties called
70 take the vote BY counties; but you

U. 5. WAR STUFF SALE
IN ENGLAND IS TASK

LONDON, May 10. Correspondence
Of the Associated Press .)--Dfsposition
OF American army supplies In England
will be a big and complicated task.
Owing to the nature or certain con-
tracts and an agreement with the Brit
ish government. the army can not be-
gin selling material for at least a
month vet in the opinion Of army off,
GERS, but they are preparing the way
now. Some material still is being de-
livered to the army while other con-
tracts are held In allegiance pending set
cement.
When the United States entered the
war 1t was agreed that all contracts
for supplies should be made through the
British government. 1t also was agreed
that at the termination Of hostilities
the United States should not sell ma
terial without consent Of the British
government nor could any Of the con-
cancelled except BY negotiations
through that government.
Even II there are some delays the
United States doubtless will profit on
many Of Its sales. No agreement. could
be reached with the firm which held
a contract to deliver to the American
army about 200 huge gasoline tanks
for use In France. Delivery is continu-
ing but 1t Is not worrying quartermas-'
ter officers as the army already has
been offered more than the contract
price for the lot. With some other
material the same situation obtains.
The work of settling unfinished con-
tracts Is progressing but British Off
cials are unwilling for a huge amount
Of material to be suddenly dumped on
the market Notwithstanding there 10 an
insistent demand for some Of II at in
flated prices. British officials say there
Is no desire whatever to deprive Amer
leans Of an advantageous market but
they argue that they also must con-
slider the disposal OF the enormous
amount OF British army supplies stored
In England.
The American Red cross had no
agreement with the British government
and recently disposed OF a lot of motor
transport equipment for approximately
2 1850. The purchase price was $24,5 500
and the equipment had been In use
a year, Any kind Of a motor Is In
great demand in England. No record
has been kept of the total amount Of
contracts allotted for the American
army In Great Britain but, like every
thing in the war, 1t was measured In
huge figures. 1t Is estimated, however,
that the ordnance contracts alone
amounted to about $500 900, 900. Much OF
this, of course, will not bring as good
returns as the materials coming under
