Those who were in close touch with the sick room knew that hope had been abandoned some weeks by his physicians, but his' family nd ' loved ones hoped against the huge odda which he was combatting. Senator James who has been ill sometime with a kidney trouble entered the hospital sev eral months ago and hat grad ually grown wors.e until the end which came at 6:40 Wednesday morning.

Dressed In Men's Uniforms And Chained to Pieces Says The American Officer. Shelbyvillp, Ky., August 26. 26.-Second - Second 26.-Second Lieut. John Dawson Buckner, Co. A. 4th Infantry, who was wcunded in France on July 25, has written to his wife. Mro. Helen Buckner, the start ling fact: "That one half the German prisoners captured were found to be wcrAen dressed in men's uniforms and were chained to the field machine guns which they had been compelled to help with the field pieces against the allies." - This is the first story of the women being used by the Ger Germans, - mans, Germans, but it is an absolute fact, according to the writer. THE WAR SITUATION There is no longer any danger of the allies being defeated in the great war. The terrible crisis of last spring has been safely passed. Let every Amer ican rest assured, victory is ab absolutely - solutely absolutely certain. From now on the foe will suffer a series of crushing and decisive defeats. No one knows just when the great struggle will close. Possi Possibly - bly Possibly it may be this year; possibly next year; certainly it can not last forever. Before New Year the Germans will realize that their cause is hopeless, but they are wonderfully determined and mav hold out to the last gasp.' The allies are stronger and better equipped than the Ger Germans - mans Germans and the Entente soldiers are also commanded by one of the ablest and most , efficient leaders in the whole world, a man whose marvelous strategy and splendid military judment can be compared favorably with that of Robert E. Lee. When the war began Germany had 12,000,000 able-bodied men. but tbe losses have been fright- ul and she now has less than , 6,000,000 who are fit for service. The United States has 18,000,' 000 citizens capable of bearing arms. A considerable number of Am ericans win be killed but our osses will not be near so great ' as some people might imagine. Crittenden county has already ost one of her gallant sons on the field of battle. We feel sure that he died in a manner worthy of the heroic traditions of the great nation to which he belongs. He was a very bright and intel intelligent - ligent intelligent young man and his name will be enshrined among the list of the immortal heroes of the great war who have perished in order to save the people of our land from the horrors of barbar ism.
