q NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. ,,


Berlin.-Big demonstrations against
the signing of the peace treaty by Ger
many were held in Berlin, Breslau
Danzig, Koenigsberg, Cassel, Bochum
and other places. They were organ
ized by the Nationa- Peoples party.
>"If this treaty comes to pass l will
bring UP my children in hatred" said
Deputy Traub, speaking in Berlin.
DR.. Gustav Stresemann, Peoples
party leader, spoke in protest against
the demand for the surrender of for
mer Emperor William.
The Independent Socialist govern
ment of the small state of Gotha de-
clines to abide by the restrictions for
"week of mourning" ordered by the
national government The Gotha gov
ernment explains that it experiences
no "bitter deception5" through the
publication of the peace terms.
Although the Independent Socialists
at the outset of the discussion over the
peace treaty adopted the standpoint
that peace must be signed at all costs,
the tremendous pressure of public ex-
preston, violent in its protest against
the treaty's terms, has led them to
reconsider their view.
Herr Mueller, another Independent
leader, again assails the old imperial
istic regime, which he declared in
Cured blood guilt by the invasion of
France and Belgium.
Arguing against the prevalent pro-
tests, Karl Kautsky, writing in Die
Freihel, says:
,"Shall we sign the peace if it is not
to- be modified, or have we not any
other chance? If it were a peace of
destruction, i death sentence. as it is
called, agreement to it would be sui
eide. But hard as the conditions are
they do not lead to the downfall of
the German people. even though they
will make life terribly difficult
"a genuine downfall, rapid phys
ical downfall, would come, however, if
we declined to sign the peace and re-
.verted to state of war. After a few
weeks of fruitless opposition, costing
millions and lives, We should be fore ed
to capltulate."
German Protests Amuse French.
Paris.-Frahce is not in a mood to
listen to Germany just now, the Jour-
mel Des Debats says in concluding an
article on the manifestations against
the peace treaty by the German gov
ernment and the German press
The President of Germany, the edi-
torial says, protests against the peace
terms and declares them Impossible Of
acceptance. This attitude will be lost
on us: The Germans, as usual, will
yield only to force. During the time
allowed them to make up their minds
they, will try to persuade us to con-
clude peace upon such a basis.
1t is. comical, indeed, to see at a
time like this the Germans seriously
proposing to us version of the
League of Nations and plans for the
reconstruction of Europe They should
put them all back in the cabinets at

feet March First.

officer Martin brennan filed his re-
signation as a member of the local
police force Mltn Mayor Thomas M.
Russell today. The resignation is to
take effect the first of March.
Mr.. brennan was one Of the best
policemen on the force and was held
in high esteem by everyone in the city.
Clean, straightforward and energetic
and the force is losing one of the best
men that has ever worn the blue here.
officer brennan is just recovering
from a serious attack of influenza and
has decided that he will enter busi-
ness for himself. He has formed a
partnership with Mr.. Wicks Martin
and they will take over the Navarro
Cafe running first class lunch room,
and billiard and pool parlor. Mr..
Drennan's popularity will add much
to the concern and it is certain he will
meet with great success for besides
being personally popular he bears an
enviable reputation for being square
and honest in all of his dealings.
Maysville loses first class officer
but gains first-class business man.
AS Mr.. Drennan's resignation takes
effect on the first of March his sue
cessor will not likely be elected until
at the next regular meeting of City
Council.

COMEDY BIGFACTOR
MBLACKSTONE SHOW
AT The OPERA HOUSE
Peter BOutOn, Most Celebrated Of Fun.
ny Men In Stage Magic, Member
of Big Company Coming to
Maysrille Thursday With
Superman Of Mys.
tlcism.

When The Great Blackstone and
company come to- Maysville next
Thursday they will bring the most ia
nous comedy magician on the stage,
the celebrated Peter Bouton, whose
rooster transformation and his live
gold fish meals are known wherever
magic has been produced.
Bouton has been the chief comedy
factor of the big Blackstone produc-
tion for seven wears. He formerly had
on the road his own show, which pre-
sented the funny side of magic and
mystery. The Great Blackstone made
1t worth his while to join his company
and ever since Peter Bouton has been
furnishing laughs by the hundred with
the most distinguished exponent of
the arts Of pschic sensation and the
superman Of mysticism.
Blackstone, himself, is somewhat of
comedian and his. line of rapidfire
talk keeps his audience in good humor
while he presents his feats and ex-
pose with lightning-line speed.
In fact, the Great Blackstone is a
believer in comedy as the essential of
every mystery and novelty production.
Without the laughs any entertainment
becomes tragedy in his mind and he
has seen to it that there is not one
whit of tragedy about his production.
There are, however, the grewsome
moments. for the Hand of Death, a
spiritualistic telepathic revelation. is
one of the big cards of the program. 1t
answers any question asked about
love. domestic happiness, business, f.
nance, crime or future destiny. 1t is
placed on piece of plain glass, with
no wire or other connections with the
stage and its answers are given in the
well known seance raps of the fingers
on glass. Blackstone, himself, stands
in the aisle while the hand answers
the queries of spectators.
The Hand, of Death promises to be
the feature that will attract women to
the special Saturday mystery matinee
Women as rule constitute the lar
gest element of the curious as well as
the sincere questioners. Men play a
part, all right, but are always out
numbered at Blackstone perform
ance.
The Blackstone Uniphone will be
seen and heard in Maysville each day
of the engagement, starting Thursday
night. The free concert in front of
the theatre will start daily at 7:45 p:
m. and an extra concert will be given
Saturday afternoon at 1:30 o'clock.
Seats for the engagement will go on
sale tomorrow morning at the store
of Shafer & Watkins. Judging by the
interest that has been manifested in
Maysville since the Public Ledger Sat
urday announced the engagement
there is going to be an active demand
for seats for each performance.

The only persons on board the Os-
sipee to welcome the president were

Gen. Clarence Edwards and Rear Ad-
miral Spencer S. Wood.
Every ship in the harbor, naval and
merchant, was a mass of colors in
honor of the presidents arrival.
Joseph P. Tumulty, the presidents
secretary, went aboard the George

bay on submarine chaser. Tumulty
had taken with him the $6,O0O,O 900 900
war revenue bill fir the president to
sign.
The streets along which the presi-
dental procession passed today were
roped to hold back the crowds.
Extraordinary precautions were
taken to guard the president. The
Copley Plaza Hotel was patroled by
many Secret Service men.
Mechanics Hall, where the speech
was to be made, was surrounded by
officers early in the day. Men with
rifles were stationed on roofs Of build
ings.
Persons without credentials were
not even permitted to cross the streets
through which the presidents auto
mobile proceeded.
Troops sent in from the forts were
supplied with regulation cartridges
no blanks. Nine hundred policemen
were stationed on the line of march.
Long before time for the president
to land the sidewalks were thronged
with spectators. Boston's hotels were
unable to accommodate crowds from
all parts Of New England.
