to meet the rush OF the Reichswehr. In
most other places the local soviets
melted away at word that the Reichs
wehr was coming.
Yet the Communist red rags continued
shouting world revolution. They as
sured the workers that all Germany was
In arms, that the workers in other coun-
tries were coming in their defence and
that the day had come TO build "a work
ers' front from one end OF Germany to
the other" When 1t became evident
that the action was about to collapse
and that II had not spread beyond
Saxony. these Communist agitators re-
doubled assurances, driving their follow
ers from folly to suicide.
The Communist party now plays
more insignificant political role than
ever in German politics. The party cap
tured only twenty-four out of some 400
seats in the recent Prussian elections.
Now that the uprising has failed and
the party delegation has solemnly de-
cided to approve the policy followed In
at Easter their influence among the
workers is no greater than their minor
ity representation indicates.
The outside world should not be mis-
led by the ominous warnings OF Bolshe-
yism in Germany circulated abroad from
time to time. Sometimes these coincide
with an effort of the old military cliques
TO keep the last remnants of their old
war equipment. and sometimes with the
appeals OF German big business for con-
cessions.
Much of the unrest among German
workers came from their knowledge that
the big reactionary organizations had
kept their guns Had general disarma-
ment been thoroughly enforced through
out Germany last year the killing in
March could have been avoided.
True. there is unrest among German
workers due to general industrial de-
preston and to the special burdens they
are called upon to bear. But to call this
Bolshevism and to make capital out of
the recent unrest as such is to distort
the actual facts.

The reason Is that the Government Is

direct taxation in Italy has increased

tax by i96 per cent. food taxes by 1853
per cent. Government monopoly prices
by 431 per cent. or a general average OF

tire to private room and engage in n

very high stakes are played for. Here,
as elsewhere, consequent on the war and
the displacement and redistribution of
wealth, the morality of the people has
suffered. 1t is evident in the streets,
hotels and restaurants not only of
Rome. but of every big city of Italy,
and must have a serious effect on Ital-
Ian home life.

First Aerial Express
For Mt. Sterling

Strictly up to the minute methods

city, the first express package by
airplane ever received in Mt Ster-
ling. A. E. Lawrence, the contractor
of Mt. Sterling, who is just com
pleting the handsome residence Of
Mr.. Wright, on Maysville street,
found, right in the midst of his work,
he was "shy" a piece of material of
utmost importance; search failed
to bring anything of the sort to light
in Mt. Sterling and necessitated a
hurried call to Lexington. Missing
the train to this city the new air.
plane, the 'Daniel Boone" Of the
Lexington Aviation Company, was
called into service. Lieut.. Creech,
accompanied by his mechanic, and
Mr.. Williams, were sighted twenty
minutes later coasting in from the
West with the package aboard. This
was dropped, but instead Of landing
in Mr.. Wright's yard, fell several
doors below, but reaching there in
time that the work could be carried
on uninterruptedly.

Sudden Sumons for
Mrs. w. p. Fitch

Mrs. Lula f. Fitch, aged "a years,
wife Of William p. Fitch, of near
Howard's Mill, died at the home Of
her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. o. s. Elan
on Locust street, Sunday afternoon
after a brief illness. Mrs. Fitch came
to this city Friday night to attend
the picture show, but became i'll and
was unable to go, and was taken to
the home of her parents, where she
speedily grew worse until the end.
The sudden passing Of this popu-
lar young woman has cast a deep
gloom over her large circle Of friends
and acquaintancess A young woman
of many lovely traits of character,
it seems unusually sad that He that
doeth all things well has seen fit to
call one of His children who, though
young in years, had accomplished
much in inspiring all with whom she
came in contact to living better lives,
should be called to leave her loved
ones here on earth and enter that
beautiful land of Somewhere.
Besides her husband and parents
she is survived by one sister, Miss
Bertha Elam; three brothers, Ches-
", of Lexington, and Granville and
Jasper, of this city.
The funeral anil burial took place
in Machpelah cemetery this after
noon at 4 o'clock, the service being
conducted by Rev. M. V. P. Yeaman,
of the Presbvterian church.

Wiedemans Defeat
Local Ball Team

The Mt. Sterling team was handed
singing defeat on the local
grounds Sunday afternoon when they
crossed bats with the strong Wiede-
man nine from Newport. Not only
did the Wiedemans put up the fastest
article of ball that has been seen on
the local lot this season, but the 10
cal boys put up about the poorest ex-
hibition of the year. The final score
was to 2 in favor of the visitors,
and the only redeeming feature Of
the game from a local standpoint,
was the playing Of Daniels at second,
who accepted all of his chances in a
nice manner, in one inning having
two putouts and one assist. Valland-
ingham had an off day and his wild
throwing to bases contributed prin-
cipally toward the loss Of the game.
Possibly the largest crowd of the
season was present and the showing
of the locals was very Disappointing.
The attraction for next Sunday will
be the strong team from Salt Lick,
which held the Lexington Reos
scoreless until the ninth inning, when
they managed to put across three
scores and won the game. AS these
two teams are evenly matched a
closely contested game is expected,

race is growing intense as the va
rious candidates strive for leader
ship.

place in District No. 1 last Thurs

district. Miss Allie Ruth Orme like
wise continues to hold second posi-
ton in that districts. Miss Eleanor

to third place today.

kins, of r. F. d. No. l, and Miss

town, go from fourth and fifth places
to that of leaders. Mrs. Albert Bolts,

closely today and several other can
didates are not far below.

who are down on the list to send in
more votes for publication Many
people do not understand that some
candidates have votes in reserve, and
if you are up among the leaders your
friends will know that you are work
