TRIP AROUND WORLD
PLANNED BY navy
Atlantic and Pacific Fleets Propose
Great Trip During Summer Of 1921,
Announcement Says.

Secretary Daniels Tuesday stated
that the Department had issued in
structions to the Commander in Chief
cf the U. S. Atlantic Fleet and the
Commander in Chief of the U. s. Pa
cific Fleet, to submit tentative itin-
eraries for the foreign cruises to be
made by the respective fleets in the
summer of nineteen twenty-one.
The following is the present idea.
Atlantic Fleet will visit ports on the
East Coast Of South America and also
Cape Town, and possible South Afri-
can ports, including passing the is
land of st. Helena the home of Ma
poleon during his captivity.
The Pacific Fleet is expected to visit
the South Sea Islands and ports in
Australia and New Zealand. 1t is
probable that the Pacofic Fleet will
be able to visit ports in Southern New
Zealand and also Tasmania, or Van
Diemans Land.
After the completion of this win
ters joint maneuvers in the Pacific in
January the fleets will proceed to
their target grounds on or before
March 10th, and finish all target prac-
tice of the present year. 1t is expected
that this will be completed about
May 1st. Then after six weeks a
Home Yards for repairs and the Gus
tomary leave, it is believed that thu
vessels will get away on their for
eign cruises about June 18th, 1921.

his only address on the League of Ma

have been ratified and America would
have been member of the league-if
President Wilson had been willing"
"Mr Wilson. however, was not will

liefs that the disposition of the treaty

complete control of abstract justice in
the processes by which the four men
who dictates those treaties which un-
dertook to take over Eastern Europe,
reached their conclusions.
II have an impression that there
was the accommodation of conflicting
interests, the giving of something here
to get something there; the yielding
of some things in order to avoid los

expediency which has characterized
such conferences since history began

of their conclusions were mistakes.

that the American people shall entel

to guarantee and maintain by force o.

four men made in the year 1919.
"That is a part of what Article

REPUBLICANS NAIL
FALSEHOOD IN RE.
GARD TO VETERANS
Democratic Candidate Misrepresented
Fact In Recent Speech at Mad
isonville on World War
Veterans.

Louisville, KY, Oct. 20. = A delib-
crate Misrepresentation Of facts was
made in a speech as reported in
Madisonville Democratic newspaper
on October IA, delivered by Senator
J C w. Beckham, Democratic candi-
date for reelection.
According to this report, Beckham
said:
"And blush for the Republican
party, whose leaders in purely parti-
san selfishness withheld from the Re-
publican platform, adopted at Chi
cago, any mention of the part Ameri-
can soldiers had in the victory over
Germany and consequently no words
of commentator of their heroism and
sacrifice"
This is an absolute untruth.
Here in plain black and white is the
glowing tribute to our heroic Ameri-
can. lads made in the Republican plat
form of 1920:
The Service Men.
I'VE hold in imperishable remem-
brance the valor and the patriotism
of the soldiers and sailors of America
who fought in the great war for hui
man liberty, and we pledge ourselves
to discharge to the fullest the obliga-
ton which a grateful nation justly
should fulfill in appreciation of the
services rendered by its defenders on
sea and on land.
Republicans are not ungrateful
Throughout their history they have
shown their gratitude toward the ma
tons defenders. Liberal legislation
for the care of the disabled and in
firm and their dependents has ever
marked Republican policy toward the
soldier and sailor of all the wars in
which our country has participated
The present Congress has appropriate
ed generously for the disabled Of the
World War.
"The amounts already applied ant
authorized for the fiscal year 192O-2l
for this purpose reached the stupen'
dous sum Of s1,1SO,5 ,571 1893. This leg
lislation is significant. Of the party't
purpose in generously caring for the
manned and disabled men Of the re
cent war"
This Misrepresentation is nothing
more or less than last-hour effort t
mislead those valiant young Kentuck!
boys who fought in the war and ar
going to vote in November, as we'll a!
their fathers, mothers, sisters ant
brothers, who have learned the trutl
