GENERAL FOCH, 1.-THE
GRAY MAN OF CHRISTI

Probably never in the history of the
country will Easter week be observed
with services of a deeper spiritual
character than by the churches of
America this year. The Methodist
Centenary Movement has asked that
the 1882 Methodist churches in the
country shall set aside the Passion
Week. April 1920, for special inter-
cession. The Centenary oMvement is
emphasizing anew the prayer side of
life.
The Ladies Home Journal for April
has very striking story in this con-
nection on the prayer life of General

POETRY WILL Be
FOREVER PRESERVED
State Council Of Defense Creates Spe-
cial Department Tor War Poetry
and Appoints Chief.

Kentucky's war poetry and songs,
like the heroic and valorous deeds and
service of her gallant sons and
daughters-are to be enshrined In the
archives OF the State, and given a
permanent, enduring place-a chapter
all their own-in the history of the
Commonwealth participation in the
battle for world liberty and demo-
cracy.
Realizing that the poetry written by
Kentuckians on the war has been Of
splendid spirit and character, the Ken
lucky Council of Defense has estab-
lished department of war Poetry,
and will endeavor to gather every war
verse, brief and lengthy, written by a
Kentuckian, and preserve 1t.
Fred P. Caldwell State Historian
for the Council of Defense, has just
announced the appointment of Mrs.
Cecie Jackson Sea, wife of l.. II. Sea,
Louisville newspaper man, of III East
St. Catherine street, and urges that
every poet and poetess in the State CO.
operate with Mrs. Sea to make the
War Poetry" chapter of the States
history complete.
Mrs. Sea is anxious to obtain copy
of every war poem written in the
State during or since the war, with a
photograph and short biographical
sketch of the author.
1t is the present intention of the
Council of Defense to introduce these
poets to their fellow Kentuckians
some time IN the course of the war
history drive to be undertaken by the
Council of Defense in June.
Mrs. Sea Appeals to every county
historian in Kentucky and to every
poet and every public spirited citizen
in the State to help her bring out the
full record of the States singers
"The war poetry division must be so
completed and accurate that it will do
full justice to the importance of the
subject, and no writer and no piece of
verse must be omitted from the rec
ord. because Kentucky owes it to her
self and to her children to see to it
that all the sweetness, majesty and
dignity of her war verse be collected
and preserved" Mrs. Sea says.

THE CITY ZONlNC Law

The city council meeting as com.
mittee of the whole unanimously
voted to recommend the "zoning" bill,
which had been hanging fire" In
committees for several years to the
state legislature for enactment into
law.
The coming" bill, IL made law,
would permit municipalities to estab.
lish residence, manufacturer and
business zones throughout the city.
within which structures other than
those provided for the zone would
be prohibited. Several unsuccessful
attempts have been made to interest
the legislature in this idea.
No opposition to the bill developed
In the committee of the whole Of the
council, and II was anticipated that

It would pass easily. The zoning bill
will then be included with other legis.

THE COMING LIBERTY LOAN.

The Victory Liberty Loan, which |
will complete our payments on the
war preparations that brought Ger
November, will be fioated between
April 81 and May 10. The Secretary
of the Treasury has announced that
the terms offered on the new loan
will be such as to make the govern
ment securities the best buy" on the
market at the time 1t is circulated.
While Mr.. Glass has not announced
the amount he would call for, the best
informed public men say that the
issue will be s5,O0O,OO0 900, with the
right to accept all over-subscriptions,
And now to consider briefly why
the Victory Liberty Loan has to be
foated among the American people.
In the first place, the loan is
good investment. Before the war,
most OF us were not investors. Today
one.fourth OF our population are bond
holders and half of US hold some sort
of government securities. We have
begun, at least, to learn the thrift
habit that we may lay up some treas
ures on earth.
In the second place, this was our
war, a war OF the American people,
democracy against tyranny. We have
testified fully to our sanction OF this
war by sending 100000 men to the
battle front, training 1,750,000 more
and getting ready 100000 to go into
training. We testified to our interest
in IL when we subscribed $7,000,00O,'
900 to the Fighting Fourth Liberty
Loan and gave literally to our war
charities.
Now the war Is over and we wonder
a bit why we are asked for more mon
ey. There are still million OF our
fighting men in France who must be
brought home. There are thousands OF
our wounded and sick in hospitals who
have yet to be cared for. Our mer
chant marine Is still building thai
America may take her place In the
world mart. All these take funds.
Yet that Is not the real reason fol
the Victory Liberty Loan. Our gov
eminent had in process OF construc
ton, when Germany capitulated, wal
machine which was planned to ami
hilate the armies OF the Fatherlanc
during the coming summer. The al
lied experts believed that Germany
would not surrender until she was de
feated, so they planned for that over
whelming defeat during the comint
summer Germany, however, conclud
ed that she had enough before the
full force Of our war catapult struck

RETURNING CHICAGO

A big fight is being made at Spring.
field for the passage of the following
laws affecting Chicago:
Non.partisan elections for aldermen
and mayor.
Reducing the number of aldermen
from seventy to fifty.
Increasing the number of city
wards from thirty.fve to fifty, with
one alderman representing each ward
Recall for aldermen and mayor.
Eliminating the offices of city
clerk and city treasurer from the
elective offices and making them ap.
pointive by the council.
The bills, II successfully pushed
through the state legislature, must go
to the people for ratification on a ref.
erendum vote.
The city manager plan of govern
ment, which was also submitted to
the city council. was put in the dis.
card. Only few voiced their senti-
ments In favor of the city manager
plan, and there were many enemies.
The majority OF the aldermen did not
feel that the council be trusted with
the selection of a mayor, and others
raised the objection that the people
would thereby have no voice in the
selection OF their executive.
The contemplated change in the
aldermanic system was first brought
to the council In bill providing for
four years instead of two-year terms
for the city fathers and provided for
one alderman from each OF thirty
five wards. II lost by vote Of 80
to p and was then amended to pro.
vide for fifty wards, with an alder.
