Suggests Permanent
Record of the Heroes

Mr.. Editor =
| hear that the diplomas pre-
sented by the French government
to the families of those who gave
up their lives in France are l.ere
for distribution | have observed
through the press that number
OF other Kentucky cities have had
memorial exercises on such occa-
sions.
Z This leads me to say The
history of the soldiers OF Madison
county has never been written,
nor will it ever be, for two rea-
sons:
1st-The material from which
it could be, has been scattered or
lost
2nd-The gathering of that
which has been left would take
a great deal Of time, and be very
expensive.
Few MadiSonians know that
this county had more Revolution
ary soldiers who were entitled to
pensions than any county in Ken
tucky organized after 1874: that
1--WE furnished our full quota for
the war of 1872, and yet only
few names such as Irvine, Trib-
| bic. and DeJarnette occur to me
now as having participated in that
struggle.
Capt. Stone recruited full
company for the Mexican War in
t19f6; Col. Chenault nearly regl-'
ment of ten companies for service
in the Southern army, while al
most as many soldiers joined the
Union army from our county. l
do not think it would be possible
to get correct roster of any one
of these companies today. Such
a thing as a soldiers monument
has never been given serious con
sideration although the Richmond
Cemetery gave a lot for this pur-
pose many years ago.
am glad to see that there is
being preserved the records OF the
boys who served in the Worlds
i War, and | hope the American
Legion will see that it is done
There should be placed in the
court house as soon as possible a
bronze tablet with name OF each
soldier and sailor on it who made

Nosales, Sonora, April f1.-Custom houses and all property of the federal government of Mexico were formally seized in the name of the "Republic or Sonoro' here today, simultaneously With receipt of report of clash between Carranza soldiers and Sonora state troops at Guaymas.
 Sonora state officials headed by GOV Adolfo De Huerta, who has been epro- claimed supreme power of the Repuphc of Sonora" by the state congress, oe- clared today while the state had seceded it would return to the Mexican repuphc upon guarantees from the national ao- ministration that there would be no m frngement of the state r1ghts Dy .ne federal government.
 The secession, according to the officials, was brought about by Carranza ordering federal troops into the state. They saio the next move was up to Carranza oh- less he acts, political leaders of Sonora said. the new republic would defy the Mexican federal government ana resist with armed forces any attempt of Car ranza to take back the state by force.
 Gen. P. Elias Gales. former governor of Sonora. and who recently resigned from the Carranza cabinet has been made supreme military commander Of the states military forces.

Alvaro Obregon.
 Mexico City newspapers of Wednesday quoted officials of the Mexican war de- partment to the effect that the depart ment had such a volume of evidence against Oregon and his alleged connec- tions with Cejudo as to warrant his ar rest and trial as co-defendant with Cejudo. Cejudo now is on trial and Obregon was called to Mexico City few days ago as witness.
 The first official intimation Obregon had that he might be before the court as a defendant instead of witness, the newspapers said was when he testified Tuesday Then, it was reported, the fed eral judge informed Obregon that by or der of the war department the court would be compeed to treat him not as a witness but as defendant. Obregon then declined to testify fully and said that inasmuch as his connection with the military had ceased temporarily, mili- tary court was not competent to sit on his case. Newspapermen were excluded from the trial.
 One of the chief bits of alleged evi- dence against Obregon. it was stated. was letter which purports to have been written by Cejudo to Obregon, saving the rebel leader would continue to receive Obregons instructions.

 AT THE STRAND

Why are the divorce courts all over this coutry crowded with litgants, and why do the records show a steadily mounting number of husbands and wives who cannot live together? Is it the husbands fault?
