EvACUATE PADUCAH.
Officials Order Force. If Necessary, to
Remove Remaining 5000.

PADUCAH, KY, January 80 P)-
Police and military authorities began
today complete evacuation of about
5000 persons remaining in downtown
Office buildings of this flood-stricken
Western Kentucky city.
The McCracken County Board Of
Health ordered the evacuation after
the Ohio River reached an estimated
stage Of so feet and inundated from
to 20 feet an area of more than
square miles.
County Judge Brady M. Stewart
authorized use of force. if necessary,
in removal Of the citizens, and Padu-
cab officials were authorized to arrest
any persons who failed to obey i'm
mediately the request to leave the
flooded area.
City Uninhabitable.
The order followed reports to State
Health Commissioner A. T. McCor-
mack that the city was uninhabitable.
DR.. Mccormack, informed persons still
in the city were without lights and
heat. demanded immediate action as
health measure.
Health conditions are bad and it Is
impossible to feed them" he said.
Considerable sickness had been re-
ported last night at the emergency
hospital, but doctors in charge said
then there was little danger of an
epidemic.
Authorities yesterday withdrew
passes authorizing persons to 20 into
the downtown district and, to pre-
vent looting. began coniscating all
small private boats. Chief of Police
w. E. Bryant said. however, there had
been little looting reported
In issuing the order the Board of
Health recommended "the utmost
| courtesy" be shown in its enforcement
and directed that it be read to all
persons before compelling their evacu-
alton.
Many Of the refugees. isolated in
upper floors. were in school buildings
and churches.
Suburban Avondale Heights and
Arcadia, where nearly 1900 refugees
were quartered, were the only parts Of
the city not under water.
It was impossible to compute the
river stage accurately, as river gauges
were under water, but W. e. Barron,
Government meteorologist at Cairo,
ILL.,. predicted the flood crest, not ex-
pected here before Tuesday, would
send the water level up to about 81
feet.

ousting Of Joseph Stain and his re-
gime. The confessed conspirators i'm
plicated the exiled Leon Trotzky as
their leader. From Mexico City
Trotzky issued vigorous denials and
challenged Moscow to prove 1t.
Trial evidence, made unnecessary
by the defendants guilt pleas, con-
tanned few documents such as would
have been necessary in American
courts to clinch the case II mot
guilty" pleas had been entered.
The lack Of documents. the enthusi-
asm of confession of the defendants,
adding to the inevitabilitY of their
doom. and the absence Of guilt de-
malls by any of the II facing death
amazed Western European and Ameri-
can observers.
Some attributed 1t to the Russian
legal system, establishment of guilt
or innocence in the preliminary ex-
animation before the trial proper
begins, and the defendants willing
ness to confess. perhaps to save other
members of the alleged Trotzkyist
organization, since they themselves
were substantially found guilty in the
preliminary inquiry.
Principal item of the evidence. as
expounded by Prosecutor Audrey
Vishinsky in his opening statement
and quoted throughout the trial, was
q letter Radek asserted he received
from Trotzky Quilting the conspirators'
aims. Radek quoted the document
from memory. Apparently 1t had beea
destroyed long since.
"Trotzky felt the Fascsts' victory
in Germany meant the Fascination Of
all Europe, and the defeat Of the
working classes. The alternatives were
to kill leaders and seize power or gain
power through war;" Radek quoted
the exiled leader.
The 13 condemned to death were:
Gregory Piatikoff, former assistant

} Opposition of the A. F. Of L to the
Perkins proposal for increased strike
powers for the Labor Department was
made known yesterday afternoon by
Green. Calling press conference
shortly after he had appeared before
a Senate committee to indorse the
O'Mahoney licensing bill, Green de-
clared:
Legislation fraught with such far
reaching consequences should be con-
sidered only when economic and In
dustrial conditions are approximately
normal. 1t is inconceivable that Con-
gress would base the enactment OF
such important legislation upon Incl
dents which arise out of one indus
trial controversy.
Sees Bitterness Famed.
Proceedings initiated under au-
thority Of such compulsory legisla-
ton would take on the character OF
a trial in court and thus the
bitterness Of the industrial contro-
versy become more intensified. Such
procedure ought to be avoided. The
Department of Labor should be a
mediation instrumentality.
1T is only step from compulsory
attendance at hearings and the COM

Military operations in the Orient

Several flour mills recently were forced
to shut down because of hostilities in
the vicinity.
Toxic reported foreign and domestic
wheat prices had advanced recently,
and United States Western white
wheat was the cheapest foreign wheat
available. Imports are uncertain, it
was said, because of rigid government
control over foreign exchange.
Japan reported improved domestic

mills working at full capacity and

land, Hare Been II or Less.

the Investigators, between the intent
of the laws relating to youthful mar
riage and their actual administrative
results, and have found some legisla-
tors. some administrators and some
clergymen who are still convinced
that any girl arrived at the age Of
puberty is ready for marriage"
1t is the conclusion of these writer's
that early marriage is injurious to the
general health, since the earlier a girl
marries the less chance she has Of
bearing children without harming
herself or them.
This theory is supported by study
made in Baltimore in 1915 by the
United States Children's Bureau. in
which it was concluded that children
usually showed higher mortality rate
when their mothers were under 20
than when the mothers were between
20 and Is.
Miss Richmond and her collaboration
expressed the view that "the weight OF
evidence is all against marriage of
girls under is and on the whole for
marriage Of girls under 1S and boys
under 20.''
"Spinster at 49,"
Another student Of child marriage
among the hill billies" of the Great
Smokes and the Blue Ridge found
that the American mountain girl Is
regarded as a spinster at 18 and ION
the Gull list by 20" Pupils IN this
region leave school to marry at IL and
13, he reports. and there is little COM
fort for the spinster, relegated to the
hard tasks of life, yet dependent for
support upon her male and married
woman kindred, all of whom are
agreed in thinking her failure"
Parental consent makes possible
many marriages which otherwise
would be impossible. In fact, even
the most cautious license ofncials
sometimes are unable to refuse legal
authorization of a marriage because
the prospective bride and bridegroom
meet the age requirements, however
low, and have parental blessing from
one side or the other or both.
