HIGH SCHOOL BIBLE STUDY
CONTEST.

The Cynthiana High School wins
the sweep stakes silver trophy offered
by the Kentucky State Y. M. G. A.
IN the annual Bible Study Contest
among High School boys. This tro-
ply was won last year by Nicholas
vile. Any high school winning the
trophy three times keeps it.

ed for schools of its class and will
keep this prize. Heath High School
in McCracken county wins the cup
in schools of its class and will keep
it.
Boys in forty-three High Schools in
State entered the contest and 36 fin
ished, boys in % schools taking the
final written examinations, total of
1850 High School boys were en-
rolled.

Jesus the Leader" The schools of
the State were divided into three
classes; class one for schools of 800
or more boys enrolled; class two from
so to 800 boys enrolled, and class
three from 10 to so boys enrolled.
No high school having less than 10
boys enrolled was allowed to enter

in the eighth grade. The decision
was on points of enrolment, attend
ance and final written examination.
The contest for the State Trophy

total of 4,070 points, was only 36
points ahead of Franklin. Heath
was third, Barbourville fourth and
| Nicholasville, the winner last year,
| fifth.
In schools of the second class, Gym
thiana was first, Franklin second,
Paris third and Maysville fourth. In
schools of the third class, Heath was
first, Barbourville second, Nicholas
vile third, and Mt. Sterling fourth.
Heath was only II points ahead of
| Barbourville and NicholaSville, and
was only points behind Barbour
Vile.
On the final examination 604 boys
took the written test and turned in
their papers. Of these $50 passed
with a grade above 65. Three High

Do You Enjoy Life

A man in good physical condition
is almost certain to enjoy life, while
the bilious and dyspeptic are des-
pondent, do not enjoy their meals
and feel miserable a good share Of
the time. This ill feeling is nearly
always unnecessary. A few doses of
Chamberlain's Tablets to tone up
the stomach, improve the digestion
and regulate the bowels is all that is
needed. Try it.

CAUSE OF HEADACHE

By knowing the cause, a disease
may often be avoided. This is par
ticularly true of headache. The
most common cause of headache is a
disordered stomach or constipation
which may be corrected by taking a
few doses of Chamberlain Tablets.
Try it. Many others have obtained
permanent relief by taking these
tablets. They are easy to take and
mild and gentle in effect.

REFUGEES TELL
OF TERRORS OF
BOLSHEVIK RULE

OMSK, Siberia.-(Correspondence of
Associated Press.)-A thread of suf-
fering runs through the stories told
by refugees from all parts of Euro
pean Russia, hundreds of thousands of
whom have found asylum here. Almost
all of them fled from Bolshevik ter
rorism. They tell of murder of the
members of their families, deprivation
of property, savage treatment, hunger
and terrible hardship of their fight
from Bolshevik bandits.
The correspondent of the Associated
Press talked with a number of these
refugees in order to learn their ad-
ventures. Several cases came to light
in which girls unable to escape before
the approaching Bolsheviki shot them
selves rather than fall into the hands
of the terrorists. The wife of Rus
san colonel now at Omsk said to the
correspondent
I'VE lived life of comfort and con-
tentment on our land not far from
Samara. Warned by our peasants, we
fled across the hills hidden in a farm
cart. My cousin, girl IS, who
thought she would not escape, took a
revolver from the desk in her draw
ing room and shot herself through the
head because she, knew what her fate
would be. You can understand why
it is difficult for us to believe in Boil
shevism."
This preference for death rather
than capture by Bolsheviki seems to
be prevalent among the young women
and girls of former well-to-do families
of European Russia, who are now in
Omsk. The wife of an assistant min
lister of state and her sister, a girl of
25, fled from Bessarabia. The girl
said with quiet Russian fatalism IF
the Bolsheviki succeed in getting to
Omsk / shall shoot myself"
Some stories tell of the famine
which existed in the district of the
Ural mountains. When a relief train
arrived at Kalma, not far from Perm,
it was surrounded by children beg
ging for bread A man of 70 years
was so overcome when he received
loaf of bread that he tainted and two
little children, whom given bread, be-
came insane from sudden joy.
The refugees tell of several cases in
which peasants murdered the proprie-
tors of the land upon which they liv-
ed in order to obtain possession of the
farms. On the other hand some of
the peasants imperilled their own lives
to help the land holders to escape
from the Bolsheviki.

ST. GERMAINE, June 2.-(By AS
sociated Press.)-Austria today was
given fifteen days to reply to the terms
of peace presented by the Allied ma
tions.
Premier Clemenceau was the first
prominent figure to arrive today at
the meeting at which terms were to be
presented President Wilson was de-
tanned slightly in arriving by pune
tured tire on his automobile.
The Austrians arrived at 1922 p. m,

ception of military reparations, finan-
cial and certain boundary clauses were
handed the Austrians. The clauses
which were not ready will be deliver
ed as soon as possible, the Austrians
in the meantime having the opportun-
ity to begin work on the greater treaty.
The treaty follows exactly the same
outline as the German, in many places
being identical, except for the
change in name.
Certain new clauses are included, es-
pecially as regards the new staes
created from the former Austria Hun
garian Empire, protection of the Hum
garian empire rights, and racial, re-
ligious and linkuistic minorities.

the League of Nations covenant and
labor charter, renounce all extra Eu-
ropean rights, demobilize her whole
naval and aerial forces, admit the
right of trial by Allied Powers of her
nationals guilty of violation of the
laws and customs of force and to ac-
cept detailed provisions similar to

fire THREATENS
APARTMENT,
FIREMEN SAVE IT

What appeared at first would be a
serious fire occurred this morning
about 10 o'clock at the Thornton apart
ments on College street, occupied by
Mr.. and Mrs. Cloyd Buchanan and Mr.
and Mrs. Tracy Cunningham. The fire
department, however, confined the
blaze to the back porch and to the
Cunningham kitchen and Buchanan
bathroom. The interior and furnish
ings of both apartments were damaged
by smoke and water.
The blaze is reported by Fire Chief
Naylor to have originated in an ac-
cumulation of intiammable material
under the rear of the house, although
the cause of the blaze was undiscov-
cred. When the firemen arrived the
under portion of the structure was all
abIaze, and the flames had broken
through into the Cunningham apart
ment. Two lines of hose and the en-
CINE were put into action and the fire
quickly stopped. The damage was es-
timated at several hundred dollars.
Just as the f1remen were returning
to their wagons, ]. T. Waters drove
nm in an automobile and announced
that his car was afre. The auto was
saved by the blaze being nipped before

BRIDGE ACROSS
FLINT RIVER ON
CORDELE ROAD
NOW PROPOSED
Delegation Asks Sumter Commission
ers to Undertake Project With
Federal Aid

A movement was set on foot today
for the erection of bridge across the
Flint river at Flintside on the Ameri-
cus=Cordele road, on which Leslie,
Cobb and DeSoto are situated. The
matter was brought to the attention of
the Sumter commissioners who were
in session today, by delegation of
interested citizens, which included one
of the commissioners-el of Crisp
county, who asked that an effort be
made to build the bridge with federal
aid. The Sumter board asked the
committee to have an engineer esti-
mate the job and report back, after
which they will decide whether to un-
dertake the job.
1t is believed probable that the pro-
ject will be undertaken, should it be
found that the bridge can be built for
a sum not entirely too large, especial
ly if federal aid can be secured, as un-
der that plan Sumter and Crisp coun-
ties would have to pay together only
one-half of the vost, the government
paying half. The cost, however, will
be considerably greater than that of
the SumterlDooly bridge, recently
erected, for the reason that the width
of the swamp on the Sumter side
would require an approach nearly
twice as long, it is said.
The committee calling on the COM
consisted of Messrs. Shep
pard, of Cordele, who takes Office to-
morrow; Clarence D. Terrell, of Cor
dele; F. P. Jones, of Leslie; Bailey, of

MORE THAN PEOPLE CAN
BEAR, SAYS HUN CHIEF.

| WASHINGTON, June 2-Execution
of the peace treaty as framed by the
Versailles conference is declared to
be more than the German people can
bear" by Count Won Brockdorff- Rant
Eau, head of the German peace dele
| cation, in a note to the associated
! governments, outlining the German
counter proposals.
Count Brockdorff- -Rantzau in his
note, the text of which was made pub
lie last night by the state department,
further asserts:
THE more deeply we penetrate into
the spirit of this treaty, the more con-
vinced we become of the impossibility
of carrying it out.''
The text of the German note, dated
May 29 and addressed to Premier Gle
menceau, president of the peace con-
ference, was made public by the state
department az follows:
Mr.. President: l have the honor
to transmit to you herewith the obser-
vations of the German delegation on
the draft of the treaty of peace. We
came to Versailles in the expectation
OF receiving a peace proposal based
on the agreed principles. We were
firmly resolved to do everything in
our power with view of fulfilling the
grave obligations which we had un-
dertaken. We hoped for the peace of
justice which had been promised us.
We were aghast when we read in doc
uments the demands made upon us G.?
the victorious violence of our enemies.
The more deeply we penetrate into the
spirit of this treaty the more convinc-
ed we become of the impossibility of
carrying it out. The executions of this
treaty are more than the German peo-
pie can bear
Wall Upon Wall.
With view to the re-establish-
ment of the Polish state we must re-
nounce indisputably German territory,
nearly the whole of the province of
west Prussia, which is preponderant-
ly German, of Pomerania, Dantzig.
which is German to the core; we must
let that ancient Hanse town be trans
formed into free state under Polish
suzereignty. We must agree that East
Prussia shall be amputated from the
body of the state, condemned to a lin
gering death and robbed of its north
ern portion, including Memel, which
Is purely German. We must renounce
upper Silesia for the benefit of Poland
and Czecho-Sloyakia, although it has
been in close political connection with
German for more than $50 years, is
instinct with German life and forms
the very foundation Of industrial life
throughout east Germany.
"Preponderantly German circles
(Kreise) must be ceded to Belgium
without sufficient guarantee that the
plebescite which is only to take place
afterwards, will be independent. The
purely German district Of the Saar
must be detached from our empire and
the way must be paved for its subse-
quent annexation to France, although
we owe her debts in coal only, not in
men.
For fifteen years Rheinish territory
must be occupied, and after those fif-
teen years the Allies have the power
to refuse the restoration Of the coun-
try; in the interval the Allies can
take every measure to sever the eco
nomic and moral links with the
mother eountry and finally to misre-
present the wishes Of the indigenous
