ALLIES EXPECT NO TROUBLE BY HUNS
People Would Not Respond to Resist ance to Entente, and Besides, the Germans Have Too Little Food
 and Munitions.

Washington. March 13.-News of the revolution in Germany sustained the conviction of some officials and diplo- mats here that a test of strength be- tween the Socialists and the military and conservative parties had seized upon every demand of the entente for the enforcement of the armistice and peace terms to goad the pride of the German people into resistance and had not found 1t difficult to fasten the re- sponsibility for the acceptance of these terms on the Ebert government.
 Recent Events Forecast Action
 Signs of a marked change in the feelings and attitude of the German people have not been wanting and the recent attacks by mobs in German cities upon members of the allied com missions and the tenor of recent Ger man notes regarding the fulfillment of peace terms have prepared entente diplomats here for some such develop ment as came today.
 While using this public feeling to place themselves in power, the revolu- tionists, in the opinion here, will avoid antagonizing the allied governments. ! Knowing the deep seated aversion of the German people to a renewal of war, 1t Is felt that should they gain complete control, they will take no steps justifying forclble military oc- cupation of the country by the entente armies.
 Couldn't Resist Entente Now.
 Germany is flat on it's back" said one diplomatic representative today, referring to the military resources Of the country. He said that while still strong in man power, the Germans lacked the raw material food supplies, ships, aircraft and railway cars and other material necessary for extensive military operations.
 Suggestions that the revolutionists might seek a union with the Russian Bolsheviki are discounted here. Such a union, it is explained, would provoke the firmest opposition, not only oi Great Britain and France, but the Uni ted States.
 Expect a Civil War.
 With the revolutionists in control ir Berlin and the Ebert government set up in Dresden, some observers here regard civil strife as practically cer tain Military officers said the out come very probably would depend or the loyalty of the Ebert government' troops, though it was admitted that i general strike took place the Social ist government would be given yer, powerful weapon.
 Would Object to Hohenzollerns.
 Restoration of the former kaiser O any other Hohenzollern as ruler of Ger many would be the only development which might force the United States t take a hand in the situation brough about by overthrow of the Ebert gov ernment by monarchists, officials her believed tonight.

Would Have Governor
Name His Own Cabinet

If the plan of the Senate COM
mittee on constitutional amend
ments has its way, the legislature
will submit to the people of the
state a constitutional amendment
to have all of the state officials,
with the exception of governor
and lieutenant governor, appoint
ed by the governor.
The matter came up through
the consideration of Senator Har-
lan's bill to make the office of
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton appointive. Senator Haynes
Carter suggested that this should
extend to all offices with the ex-
ception of the governor and lieu
tenant governor, as he thought
the governor should have the
power to appoint his own cabinet.
Senator Carter's idea was approx
ed by every member of the COM
mittee and it was decided to draw
up a bill with that end in view and
introduce it in the Senate at an
early date.

FOUND ANCIENT
DUELL|NC PISTOLS

While tearing out an attic staircase
in the old Bronston home on Wood
land avenue, which he purchased some
months age, Mr.. J. s. Sewell of the
firm of Sewell G. Mckinney, found j
pair of ancient fiintlock, duelling pis-
tolls. The weapons were UP under the
stairway as if placed there for safe
keeping many years ago. They were
in perfect condition; we'll oiled and had
hardly a spot of rust on them.
They were marked "a. Walters,
1888, Milbury, Mass" and are typical
old fashioned duelling pistols, which
always were sold in pairs. They have
attracted much attention at his store
on West Main street where Mr.. Sewell
has them on exhibition. Many have
expressed the belief that they perhaps
were hidden away by the late Thomas
Bronston, who owned the old home in
his time, and who was the father of
Hon. Charles J. Bronston, now de-
ceased, who was one of Lexington
most brilliant attorneys some 20 or
25 years ago. Mr.. Sewell has refused
several tempting offers for the old
weapons and intends to keep them on
eXhibiton.

INTEREST GROWS IN
REVIVAL SERVICES

The meetings at the Methodist
church continue in spite OF the
very severe weather.
Last night quite a number Of
souls went forward for prayer,
several have found peace i'll be
lieving and there is much convic-
ton in the community.
Evangelist Morrison is keeping
before the people the fact that
mere church membership is l..
salvation, that in order to be say
ed the individual must be born
again.
He quoted the words of Jesus
from John 3:3, Except man be
born again he cannot see the
kingdom Of God"
He argues that it is one thing to
Join the visible church and anoth-
Ter thing to be born of the Spirit
and enter into the kingdom ot
God.
t A number Of persons who have
been somewhat content will
mere church membership have
been seeking and finding Christ
as Il personal Savior.
We Judge there is an important
truth in this claim of the evangel-
, ist.
The by-stander does not see
! very much difference between the
average church member and the
outsider. 1t is quite possible that
good many people have been
persuaded to unite with some
i church who have not had that
change of heart indicated by the
Lord in His teachings Of the
New Birth"
If this nation IS to have re
vival of religion that all serious
! people seem to think is one OF the
greatest needs Of the times, ii
ought to begin in the church
Church members ought somehow
in their daily lives to give proof
that they have come out of the
world and have become genuine
followers of Jesus Christ. This
seems to be the burden OF the
Evangelist's message and it ap
pears that many church members
are making a thoughtful invoice
Of their spiritual condition.
The women are meeting tor
season of prayer i'll the Sunda!
School room before the Afternoon
meeting and the men are meeting
for season OF prayer before thu
evening service.
There is much of the meeting
on the streets and in the store!
the interest is deepening an'
spreading.

KIND HEARTS TAKE
ORPHAN CHILDREN

Deputy Sheriff Ed p. Warford on
Wednesday took five of the Cusick
children, who have been deserted by
their mother at Valley View, to the
Kentucky Chi!dren's Orphans Home
at Louisville. Those who went to be
cared for by the splendid institution
were Mamie, aged ID; Jacob, aged 6,
the twins Harry and Carrie, aged
four and the baby, c T., aged one
year.
County Attorney and Mrs. o. P.
Jackson took one of the little ones to
raise and give a good home. They
were attracted by the desperate need
of the little ones for good homes, and
took little Bart, aged II. Nh. Jack
son took the little fellow down town,
bought him a new suit of clothes, and
got him hair cut and made the
youngster happier than he has been in
a long time.
Uncles of the children took three
more of the brood. They are broth
ers of their dead father. James
Cusick took Grace, aged 10 and Willie
aged 8, and H. 3. Cusick took Luther,
aged 16. These gentlemen live near
Valley View.
Nothing has been heard from the
mother of this family of nine chill
dren, who went to Ohio a few weeks
ago, ostensibly to look for work and
a place to take them, but who has not
been heard from since.

war, SO this is a novelty. Many of
he Youngsters have been wandering
or months, with their elders, sleep
ng wherever they might happen to
'e, usually out-of-doors. The Almen-
On children who were imprisoned in
Turkish homes after the dcpoItations
we're nearly always forced to sleep
in the stables.
Some Of the orphans are sent on
from the refugee camp at Baqubah
north of Bagdad. Here $4,000 persons
are housed in tents, averaging twenty
SIX persons to each tent, by the Brit
ish government Rations, water sup
ply, sanitation, and compulsory labor
out there in the desert is supplied
'0r them by the British, while Near
East Relief looks after their clothing,
and gives them special aid in case
IF need. 1t is the only adequate way
IF looking after such d multitude,
but after these tents the orphanage
in Bagdad looks pretty good to the
chi drcn. Those who are ill OF
otherwise in need Of special atten-
ton are taken by motor truck to the
ancient city that figures so largely in
the old fairy tales.
1t is frightful to hear that little
children are perishing on the streets
from hunger, but the truth about
the suffering of the Armenians can
not be too plainly told. All the peo,

SLEET STORM HITS
BUSINESS HARD
Wires Down All Over Central
Kentucky and Damage May
Amount To S250,000

The sleet and ice storm which
had almost all business at stand
still Thursday and part of Friday
didn't last long though it was
rough while it lasted.
Heavy rain Thursday night anC
Friday with a slight rise in tenn
perature melted the ice off the
trees and pavements, and restor-
ed appearances to normal some
what, and enabled troublemen tC
get to work on the wires of light
power and phones which are
down all over this section of the
country. Many people did not
realize just what the lighting and
power and phone companies mean
to them until everything became
tied up.
Manager George Fawkes and
first assistant troublcman, Earl
McDougle, worked until far into
Thursday night to get lights and
power for the main business sec
ton of the town. AS fast as they
would get wires up i'll one place,
down a tree comes, loaded with
its icy burden in another, and car
rying a BUNCH of wires down with
it. About nine o'clock enough
juice was gotten into the down
town districts to enable the show
to be given at the opera house.
The wires held until about one
o'clock, then falling branches
snapped them again, and not until
noon Friday was the Daily Reg
lister able to get current to start
its typesetting machines and run
its presses.
Western Union wires and tele-
phonic communications are still
'out OF whack" all over Central
Kentucky. The Daily Register
has not had line Of Associated
Press news for two days. The
The Western Union had a wire to
Irvine only Friday, and telephon-
ic communication was possible
only with Winchester. The
heaviest damage will be sustained
by the wire companies. The
Courier Journal estimates the
loss throughout Central Ken
tucky at fully S25O,OOO. Street
and interurban car systems are ali
tied up in the cities, and power
plants there are seriously Grip
pied. Lexington had but a short
supply OF power Thursday, Win
cheste had none at all and neither
of the papers there printed an ed
ition Thursday. 1t will be sew
eral days if good weather inter
venes before conditions can be re-
stored to any sort of satisiac-
toy working basis.
