Submarine Question Remains.
In some quarters It Is expected

which the definite five power plan will

Great Britain desires to present TO
the world her plea for an abolition Of
the submarine altogether. and France
Is expectedsto reply with n statement
of the reasons that seem TO her valid
for retaining n large submarine fleet.
American naval experts are known
TO favor also n comparatively large
submarine tonnage in the final tables
OF naval strength. and In that con-
nection much interest attached today
TO unofficial advices saying Ambassa-
dor Harvey had discussed that subject
with Premier BRAND.
In some circles speculation centerec
about possible understanding by
which the United States and Franc,
would stand together against tn,
British submarine position.
There was no confirmation that tn,
London agreement was in any wa,
contingent on such an understanding
but France is known to feel that II
the interests of national safety an,
concessions she might make on capita
ships should be in some way offse
by an assurance of satisfactory sub

Frances Action SIN a Puzzle.

Until the inside story of the French
attitude becomes known the startling
proposal for a 350.00o-tou capital ship
fleet made TO the Arms Conference last
week by the French delegates remains
somewhat of a puzzle. Such n tom
mage would have given France a ratio
OF more than three instead of the
much smaller ratio which she now is
reported willing to take. The French
delegates contend that their proposal
was presented with tn, backing OF the
French government, Notwithstanding
a belief prevalent in other quarters
that Il is not.
Drawn up in Washington under tho
supervision Of Admiral DE Bon, chief
French naval adviser, the $50. .000-ton
iplan appeared TO many OF the arms
delegates to he only a general staff
idea and not the matured program Of
the French government. That sup.
position is understood TO have led 10
tho exchanges which took piece be-
tween Ambassador Harvey and Prem
Ter BRAND which Itself followed nm cf-
fort by Secretary Hughes to get in
touch with the French premier direct.
The French delegation had no com
ment to make today on the London
development. but it was apparent they
were much surprised a. the turn taken
by the negotiations.
Pending official advices they did not
seem to understand exactly the propo-
sition Premier BRAND had accepted.
They appeared to attach significance,
however. TO the reference OF the dis
patches TO submarines and there was
a growing belief everywhere that
., other consideration besides the capi-
tai ship question had entered into
the conference between the American
amba ssador and the French prennier

Confusion Over Ratio.

Although never made public, the
American capital ship proposal for
France and Italy is known to have
been in the shape OF actual proposed
tonnage not reduced to the form of
an expressed ratio. AS a consequence
there was some confusion over todays
unofficial dispatches from Paris quot
ing ratio figures. One particular point
of apparent divergence related 20
Italy's strength, stated in the Paris
advices as fixed at ratio of 1853 as
against IL for France.
! AS understood by the Italian dele
gates, at least, the plan proposed here
would give France and Italy an equal
tonnage and the Italians are under
stood to have accepted on that basis.
Furthermore, the ratio of the French
and Italian navies on that schedule
would be something less than IL as
compared TO the American and Brit
ish five. The tonnage allowances for
the five powers thus would be: Great
Britain $4,000; United States 5000;
Japan $4,000; France 10000; Italy
$4,000.

Submarines May Not All Go.

Although Great Britain has already
indicated officially the desire OF her
delegation TO state publicly at plen-
airy session of the conference the
British desire that submarines be
abolished as naval weapons. even the
British, however have little hope that
the conference will take such action.
This would leave 70 the conference
the fixing of the relative tonnage OF
each power in underwater craft and
also the total amount of submarine
tonnage each power TO be retained.
Under the original American pro-
posal the United States and Great Bril-
tain would retain 10000 tons each in

SLACK IS POPULAR
CANDIDATE FOR SHERIFF
Well-KnOwn Young Man, In Race "
Win Democratic Nomination
For County SheriH.

In another part Of this issue will
be found the announcement Of Mr..
Charles Slack as q candidate for the
Democratic nomination for Sheriff OF
Mason county. Mr.. Slack is being
backed in his race for this nomina-
ton by the younger Democrats Of the
county and by a great host Of personal
friends among the older Democrats.
No man has announced for Office in
Mason county in recent years who has
been more popular personally. At his
place of business he has been thrown
with the public for years. He is a fel-
low built along lines calculated to
make friends of acquaintances in
short order and to hold the friendship
so gained because Of his steadfastness
and honor. He is, and has always
been, in the fullest sense Of the word
man, and this alone, is the secret OF
his personal popularity.
Mr.. Slack served Mason county as
Coroner and as such proved himself
most efficient and faithful public serv'
ant. During his term as Coroner he
was a terror to criminals whose
crimes came under the investigation
Of his office and there is every reason
that he would make a good sheriff.
He will make a formidable race fol
| the Democratic nomination.

Denton GIVES ACCOUNT
OF LEWIS SHOOTING
Man Held In Connection With Lewis
County Murder Tells His Story
OF Happening.

In connection with the killing of
Thomas Horsley, Lewis county farmer,
last week at Harris, the Fleming Ca
zette says in part:
Mr.. Denton's account OF the killing
Is as follows: He with JEFF Manning
and Sherman Grain were on a trip
through Lewis buying cattle, Mr. Den
ton furnishing the money to finance
the purchases. Manning, It seems, got
to gambling with Horsley and others
Wednesday night near the place where
the trouble occurred. Thursday morn
ing jeff Manning and Raymond DEN
ton got into an argument with Horsley
who was on foot by the roadside.
When the trouble started Denton
started away and had gotten but a
short distance when a shot or shots
were fired. He supposed Manning or
Horsley were shooting.
Denton, Manning and Horsley, ac-
cording to another account, were all
three engaged in gambling Just before
the trouble arose and Denton left tc
get away. After the shooting occurred
he continued to come this way without
stopping to see what damage had been
done by Manning. Manning followed
and the two were afterwards together
and then separated again on the way
home. The killing occurred near Jun.
ior Hall, lodge building.
Manning has been in trouble be-
fore for shooting man near the
Parks Hill camp ground some years
ago and he served prison sentence
one time. Horsley, the man killed
was about As years of age and con-
Quoted grist mill near where the
killing occurred. This is IN a section
| where a good deal of trouble has been
experienced with moonshiners.

MIKE BROWN SEEKS
DEMOCRATIC NOMI-
NATION FOR SHERIFF
Prominent Maysvllle Merchant Seeks
To Be Democratic Nominee for
Sherld--Served as Deputy
Nine Years.

Mike Brown, Maysville merchant,
today announces himself as a candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for Sheriff of Mason COUNTY.
Mr.. Brown, besides being one of the
most popular business men in Mason
county, served for several years as a
deputy sheriff and is therefore well
qualified for the Office he seeks, He
has been a lifelong Democrat and is
personally popular in all parts of the
county. Mr.. Browns announcement
follows:
ITO the Democratic Voters:
"After mature consideration have
concluded to announce for the Demo-
cratic nomination for Sheriff in the
Primary of August 9Th, 1921. The eight
years ! served as Deputy Sheriff was
valuable experience and would be
helpful in fulfilling the duties OF
Sheriff.
"I am mindful of the fact that four
years ago the Democracy of Mason
county honored me with the nomina-
tion for sheriff, but together with the
other Democratic candidates was UNI
fortunate in the November election
It is we'll known, however, that the
defeat only served to quicken my de-
votion to the Democratic cause, and
during the past four years | have been
on the firing line in every political
battle Just as / have been for the twen-
ty years proceeding, and doing all
within my power to promote the sue
cess Of our party and vindicate the
immortal principles of justice and
equal rights to all.
81 have gladly labored all my life
in the cause of Democracy, having
served as Secretary Of the Democratic
Executive Committee for several
years, have acted as Campaign Chair
man and promptly answered ever!
call to service. ! feel that the time
has come when Democrats, without re-
gard to past difference, should unite
and with a common cause and com
mon purpose enter vigorously upon {
program to make certain the triumph
of our grand old party throughout the
state, and there Is no better place tc
start than in this fine old county o.
Mason. I want to do my part to this
result. 1t is my belief that l can dc
the best and most effectively as .youl
candidate for sheriff. But If in youl
wisdom you decree otherwise, ther
will be no lessening Of inytefforts t.
elect the ticket you nominate, for TIN
cause of Democracy is greater thai
the merits or ambition Of any indi
vidual.
"I have always taken great pride
in our county and city and have nevel
lost an opportunity to boost them, ant
to have the privilege of serving then
in the capacity of sheriff is an homo
which any one might proudly covet
and one which would be Devoted.
cherished by me always.
"In soliciting your support ant
good will I pledge you that, II elect
ed sheriff, it will be my earnest ant
constant purpose to conduct the af
fairs Of the Office in such a manne
as to warrant the approval of ever
good citizen of Mason county.

There has already been q, notice
in the papers that have been appoint
ed chairman of Mason county for the

appreciate the fact with all other
Mason county folks that there have
been drives continuously 1t seems the
past months, and that any additional
drive would mean more or less Of a
burden, but In accepting the chair
manship of the Famine Relief Fund
did 80 because felt that 1t would not
be Christian to refuse so important a
need. and l also knew that the resi-
dents Of Maysville and Mason county
would not fail to do their best when
the matter was put fairly before them.
so this is not an organized drive re-
quiring reports and checking up and
80 on, but just a matter that I wish
to lay upon your heart asking that
whatever you feel that the Lord wants
you to give Is the amount that we are
asking you for. II you fel satisfied to
give nothing, with the people Of China
starving and you living in abundance,
