GETTING READY
To TAKE Big
NATION CENSUS
Plans For Big Undertaking to Enum..
crate All Persons In the United
States Are Being Shaped
In Washington.

Washington, August 30.-While the
actual work of counting the people
will not begin till the second week in
January, the first being a holiday,
preparations for the taking of the
fourteenth census are now well under
way.
There are three steps in the taking
of census, each of which + of the
utmost Importance. First Is the prep
aration for the work, then the actual
enumeration of the people, and finally
the tabulation and announcement of
the results. The part that is done in
the shortest time is the counting Of
the people and the gathering of the
data. The tabulation and analysis of
the results take the most time and are
the ultimate purpose of the census.
But the preliminary work is about as
important as any of the rest of the
steps, in the process, for it requires
a veritable army of enuumerators to
do the actual counting, and this army
must be organized and marshaled in
advance to be ready for the start on
the first of the year.
In order that the counting Of the
people may be done quickly, there
must be large force for the counting.
The size of the territory to be covered
bxyo will Will
conditions, but in the rural counties of
Kentucky and outside the larger cities
there will be about one enumerator to
every $500 persons, based upon latest
estimates. Generally speaking, there
will be about one enumerator to each
voting precinct, although precinct
lines will not be followed in every in
stance.
Approximately $50 enumerators will
be employed for each Congressional
district, making more than 1000 who
will be required to count the people of
Kentucky and gather the necessary
information about them. In some of
the districts the number of enumer
tors probably will run up as high as
IT'S. . But the exact number will de-
pend upon the determination of the
precinct boundaries, which has not yet
been done.
Under the regulations of the Census
Bureau, these enumerators will be ap-
pointed by the supervisors, with the
approval of the Director of Census at
Washington, Sam L. Rogers. Unless
there is some special reason there is
little likelihood that the selections Of
the supervisors will be disapproved in
Washington, although Supervisor
Rogers has maintained from the start
that he intends to insist upon absolute
efficiency in the appointment of enum
orators, and that no amount Of influ-
ence or pull will induce him to ap-
prove the selection of any one who
does not seem to be entirely qualified
for the work and competent to make
the Enumeration in a satisfactory man
ner.
The Supervisor in charge of the |
census taking in the Ninth Congress
sional district is H. H. Denman of |
Vanceburg.

DIR. DICKEY LIKELY TO
RETURN TO NASHVILLE

The Kentucky Conference of the
Southern Methodist Church will open
at Shelbyville on next Wednesday and
at this conference Maysyille will be
assigned at least one new pastor. Just
who will be selected at the conference
to succeed Rev. w. B. Campbell who
goes to Winchester to become presi-
dent of Kentucky Wesleyan College, is
not known. 1t is more than likely
that DR.. Dickey, popular pastor of
the Second M. E. Church, South, will
be re-assigned to the local church for
another year. His many friends, at
least, hope so.

BERLIN, Nov. (By The Associated
Press) DIR. Alfred Zimmerman, Sec
rotary for Foreign Affairs during the
war, caused mild sensation during
terday's session of the National
Assembly committee investigating the
war when he admitted that the German
out hcrltes lad been suspicious that
their code, which had been made known
to the American authorities, was be-
trayed to the Entente by the United
States government. (The reference is
to the special code which the American
government permitted to be used in
wireless communication with the Wash
ington Embassy copy Of which was
given to the State DEPARTMENT.
Count Bernstorff, when asked re-
that he could not swear that thesc
wireless messages had not been com
mum Gated by the United States govern
ment to the Entente, but later testified
under oath that he had never known
of such treachery. He said Germany
had a difficult and dangerous cable
route through neutral countries, but
that messages had been concealed as
commercial dispatches.

resources coming to an, end, with no
apparent prospect of terminating the
war on land, while time was working
against Germany and for the Allies
He also became more and more con
vinccd that President Wilson would not
attempt to bring about an Impartial
peace
Economists Bad Advisers
Questions from members of the com
mittee were asked throwing doubt upon
the economic authorities consulted by
the Admiralty in studying the economic
effects of the submarine warfare on
England, and it was pointed out that
none Of these were generally accepted
as first class economists Admiral
Koch answered the questions b nam
ing a number of bankers and business
men who had given their opinions on
the subject, but he evidently was em
barrassed by the criticism of the au-
:horities who defended the declaration
of unrestricted submarine warfare. He
quoted a statement by Admiral Sims,
showing how near England was to ex-
haustion in the spring of 1917, because
of the effects Of the U-boat warfare.
DR.. Zinsheimer, Socialist member
of the committee, asked why the sub
marines could not hinder the American
tran ports. adding that Admiral Won
Capekle had told the Reichstag COM
mittee that mo American transport
will come across-that is what the L.
boats are for" Admiral Koch explained
the lack of success on the part of the
submarines was due to two causes
First, the Eng ish had invented new
methods of fighting them; and second,
the American system Of conveys made
attacks Impossible.
At this point, Admiral Won Capelle
testified that his words regarding
American transports were misquoted.
He said that ne was speaking only Of
declaration Of U-boat warfare, and re
ferred only to "shipments" which
would require a hundred ships
