GENOA, May 13.-Official an.
nouncement was made today that
France was opposed to Premier
Lloyd Georges program for a Eu'
ropean truce based on the Russian
note OF Thursday night.
Frances attitude was explained
by Louis BarthOu. head of the
French delegation to the interna'
tional economic conference.
France takes the stand that. even
IL the truce were put into effect
pending realignment of the Eu'
ropean frontiers, the Red army
would still be a menace TO peace In
eastern Europe unless reduced.
France cannot accept the truce
proposal as IL stands. said NJ
Barthou. There is a great menace
to be seen in the proposed truce.
Russian propaganda would continue
and the commission would work in
constant fear OF the Red army and
of Russian violence"
1t is reliably reported that NJ.
Barthou received instructions from
Paris to insist upon adjournment
at the earliest possible moment. not
to allow new discussions to develop
and to assent to the Russian com
mission only on two conditions:
a. That the commission be formed
elsewhere than Genoa, and t3 that
only the big five, some neutrals and
possibly the United States be given
membership.
Italy is supporting the British.
Premier Lloyd George Is urging the
appointment of a subCommissiOn TO
work upon the proposed truce.
Later on Lloyd George suggested
sharp rejoinder be returned to the
Russian note Of Thursday night re.
garding bolshevist propaganda.
The divergence OF opinion between
the British and French has been
widened still further by the stand
taken by France upon the truce is

In speaking of the Clark coun.
ty roads, the Winchester Sun has
the following to say of the road
in that county coming down this
way:
The Iron Works pike leading
from this city to Powell county,
is one of the most badly needed
roads in this county. The Pow.
ell county road from the Clark
county line to Stanton is of the
highest type gravel. Clark coun.
ty has few miles of macadam
road leading from Indian Fields,
road to the Powell county line
that has been permitted to get
in bad repair and is now being
repaired but when this roadway
is completed it will mean much
to Winchester and Clark county
as well as to Central Kentucky
which gives a direct outlet to
Eeastern Kentucky.

Miss Custus came from Mont.

is now living there together with
her husband, John ID. Stephens.
She secured a spring subscription
school of probably forty pupils
and she well and truly taught
them all as efficiently as that
number is taught in any school
today. She taught the fall school
of probably an enrolment of
eighty pupils, and they were just
as well taught as were the pupils
of the spring school.
When this splendid teacher

began teaching the school as a
whole in concert. The children
were taught good manners, they
were taught morals and they

their books as well as orally,
which method was a favorite
manper of impressing the studies
on the young minds with this ex.
cellent teacher of "Just Forty
Years Ago"
Miss Custus was the first to in
troduce the calisthenic into our
schools as a means of the proper
physical development of the body.
These exercises are being re in
troduced of later years into our
advanced schools.
While the schools attended by

ing 'S2 were taught by splendid
teachers, and in succeeding years

excellent teachers as Judge Hugh

The stimulus for the writing of
this article is the fact that this

years ago on June "a, Saturday
