A PARTING or THE WAYS on

It is a strange revolution Of the

On the other hand, the cry for

territory where the Iowa idea
was born. and the rift within the

Republican party after its eight
years sojourn in the wilderness,
and this apostle OF high protec-

in having Harding restore the an

Democratic president it was be-

Wise and willy as he is. Penrose
IS occupying i position Of mas

squabble that has centred around
the White House. Manufactur-

While walking in q room at her
home on Second street, Mrs. r. B.

their car skidded and ran over a
cement culvert about six miles out
from Lexington. The front wheels
and springs of the car were smashed.

cidently drove his machine over the
end of Pleasant street, near Second.
the car alighting on the Louisville
and Nashville tracks, uninjured.
The driver confessed that he was
unfamiliar with the vicinity, and
thought the street kept straight on,
instead of turning into Second
street. With the assistance of Mr..
Z. c. Colltver, who was passing at
the time, the car was righted and
pushed along the tracks to Third
street, where the driver was in
structed how to reach Main street.

Candidate For Speakership
H. G. DUFFY MAY WITHDRAW

With the opening of the 1922 ses-
sion Of the General Assembly but
twelve days away, Democrats are
already preparing to watch with
keen interest the events which will
transpire there for the next three
months, the party again having con-
troll of both legislative branches of
the assembly despite a Republican
administration.
The Assembly will convene Tues
day, January 3. On Monday, the
day preceding, the Democratic
members of both the Senate and the
House will gather in a caucus to or
ganize both branches for the coming
session. The caucus of the party's
members of the House Of Represen-
tatives will be held in the body's
The Senate caucus will be held at 8
o'clock that night.
Official calls for both conferences
were issued during the past week by
Judge Charles Hardin, Of Harrods-
burg, chairman Of the Democratic
State Central and Executive Com
mittees.
There are but three candidates for
OpedheT VI Tue HOUSE dC the present
time. Jas. H. Thompson, of Bour-
bon county, Democratic floor leader
during the last session, Ira d. Smith,
of Hopkinsville, and H. G. Duffy, Of
Cynthiana, are the candidates.
Henry Lawrence, of Cadiz, until a
short time ago also sought this
Office. He withdrew, however, and
his support has been cast to Repre-
sentative Smith
Central Kentucky politicians fore
cast the election of Mr. Thompson
as Speaker. He entered the race for
this place at an early date and is
known to have already obtained
pledges of support from a large num-
Der Of Democratic members OF the
House. Central Kentucky, northern
and eastern Representatives are ex-
pected to vote for him.
Mr.. Smith is regarded as the most
likely winner should Mr. Thompson
fail to marshal sufficient support to
obtain the Speakership. Representa-
tive Duffy, according. to- many poll
tfcians, will withdraw his name al q.
candidate when the caucus is con-
vened and throw whatever support
ne may have to Thompson. Should
this occur Thompson will undoubt-
eddy be elected.

ROME, Italy. March 5.-Archbishop
Denis j. Dougherty of Philadelphia
and his party of fourteen have
reached Rome. after Il tiresome trip.
Leaving raris day later than had
been planned. the travellers were
forced to leave the Rome express at
Turin and travel by the way OF
Bologna and Adriatic lines, arriving
here fatigued, but otherwise well.
The secret consistory VIII take place
on Monday. and on Thursday Arch
bishop Dougherty and the other
newly created cardinals Will receive
their hats and other insignia OF office
at a public consistory. The program
for the intervening days has not yet
been published.
1t is pointed out that after this
consistory the number of foreign
cardinals will be greater than that
Of the Italians holding the same high
rank in the church. This makes con-
ceivable. il not likely the election
of a foreign or non-1talian pope,
which has hitherto been deemed most
improbable. Owing 70 the peculiar
nature Of the relations between Italy
and the Vatican it is deemed possible
that there will be an Improvement
in these relations when the foreign
element predominates in the college

HEALTH OF EX-KAISERIN
SHOWS IMPROVEMENT
Although Not Yet Out of Danger,
She Has Grown
Stronger.

BY Cable TO The Star and Chicago Daily News.
Copyright. 1921.
AMSTERDAM, Holland, March s.
Though still not out of danger, the
former empress of Germany has
shown some improvement in health
in the past few days.
AS she has grown stronger, details
have been revealed of recent
negotiations between the court mar
shall of the Hohenzollern residence at
Doom and the Prussian government,
concerning the prospective funeral of
the former empress. The writer is
told that when the condition of the
ex-kaiserin became critical a few
weeks ago the court marshal asked
as to the attitude OF the Prussian
cabinet with respect to the plan for a
solemn funeral service at Potsdam
in case she died
that it had no objection. provided no
monarchistic demonstration was Or
ganized. 1t also suggested that the
body be transported at night.
It is understood that secret
preparations have been made in Ger
many for an elaborate ceremony at
Potsdam. including reception at
Cecilienhof. the palace of the former
crown princess. The special program
for this reception stipulated that
none of the princely personages who
have recognized the new regime
shall be invited.

Fear of BoIshevist Offensive
Against Poland Makes
Plan SkepticaI.

Refusal of Switzerland to Permit

BY WILLIAM T.. NASH.

ID! oabie TO The Star and Chicago Daily News.

PARIS. March Pear of a boil
sheFIst offensive against Poland this
spring may make the league of ma
tions abandon it's idea OF plebiscite
IN Wilma, for. in case of such war.
the international force raised to oc-
cupy the city would be in danger of
capture or isolation.
This fear seems to be somew ha t
exaggerated. Between Wilma and
RUSSIA stands wing of the Polish
army intrenched in strong positions
from Molodechno to the River Dvina,
which can be crossed only with diff
hculty. The only other way in which
"A red army could reach the city
would be through the neutral coun-
try of Latvia.
Experts Perturbed.
Our military experts take a more
serious view of the affair than you
do. said a league official to the
writer today. They believe that the
Polish troops of which you speak
would be in a precarious position in
case of war on account of their iso-
iation from their bases of supplies.
If red attack came in force they
would have TO withdraw quickly on
the cities OF Ida or Wilma.
The international force itself
would, of course. be too weak to put
up a serious fight, although it could
hardly abandon the field without an
honorable show Of resistance. The
net result of the adventure would
be to involve Sweden. Switzerland.
Spain and other countries in war
with Russia, and the league can i'll
afford to bear such a responsibility.
Furthermore. the refusal Of SwitZ-
erland to allow international troops
to cross her territory has dealt a
second heavy blow to our project.
1t would be difficult to find another
practical route to Wilma.
Fear German Objection.
Germany is not a member of the
league and would surely object to
the transportation Of the troops
across Bavaria. while the Baltic path
via Danzig or Lithuania would prove
ly. once the troops were in the field
we hardly know what their reception
would be.
"Both wilma and Lithuania are
equivocating in ever. possible way
over the plebiscite. They accepted
the principle, but now seem deter
mined TO hinder its execution. The
wiles Of eastern diplomacy are some
times unfathomable to the western
mind"
1t is easy to realize these Difficult.
ties. but not SO easy to defend sucf
a decision. The abandonment of a pol
icy which has already caused so much
discussion might be Interpreted al
over the world as a sign OF weak
ness and have a grave effect On tho
leagues prestige.
