Great Fleets To Tour The
World. Armada Is To Impress World, Officials
Assert, In Proposed Tour of Globe. Personnel of Great
Fleets Announced In
Part - Pacific Division To Excel in Power. Western
Newspaper Union News
Service. Washington. The two great fleets that the
Navy Department plans to
send around the world next June will be the most powerful that
have been
assembled under the American flag, it was stated here. Each
will include
approximately 110 units, selected with the greatest care from 300
or more
available. As described by officials this stupendous armada
is aimed to be
"a spectacle that will impress the world with America's
naval power." The
Atlantic fleet, which first will visit South America and South
American
ports, if was learned, will include the dreadnaughts
Pennsylvania, Arizona,
Oklahoma, Nevada, Kansas, Utah, Florida, Delaware, North Dakota,
Michigan,
South Carolina, Minnesota, and New Hampshire. A sufficient
number of
battleships will be added to increase the total. The full
number of first
class fighting craft will be 20. Ten cruises, 80 destroyers
and 10
auxiliaries will complete the ensemble. Impressive as is
the proposed
Atlantic fleet, it will be excelled in fighting power by the
Pacific Fleet.
The most powerful unit in that force will be the new super
dreadnaught
Tennessee, put into commission this week and now taking on
torpedoes at
Newport preparatory for her trip through the Panama Canal.
The Tennessee
measures 32,000 tons, being more than twice the size and having
four times
the fighting strength of the battle ship Connecticut, which
headed President
Theodore Roosevelt's fleet around the globe. Next will come
the new super
dreadnaughts Idaho and Mississippi, followed close in gun power
by the New
Mexico, which has the distinction of being the only dreadnaught
in the world
driven by electric power.
Soldier's Body Arrives For Burial. The body of Belena
Wilson, a private in
the late war, who died while serving with the A.E.F. in Germany,
arrived here
Wednesday morning. Escorted by members of the Pulaski
County Post American
Legion the body was taken to the National Cemetery at Nancy for
burial.
Services were conducted at the grave in which the Legion took
part. This
young man is a son of Aaron Wilson of Faubush and he died
following a short
illness with pneumonia soon after the armistice was signed.
He was with the
American troops in Germany when taken ill. At the request
of his parents the
body was shipped home. Private Wilson was in several of the
big battles and
came out without injury only to be the victim of that dreaded
disease,
pneumonia.
Five Governors Visit Somerset, But Train Did Not Arrive Until
10:00 o'clock.
The Governors Special carrying Governor Coolidge, of
Massachusetts, the
Republican candidate for Vice President, Governor Lowden of
Illinois,
Governor Sproud of Pennsylvania, Governor Allen of Kansas,
Governor Morrow of
Kentucky and other Republican leaders arrived in Somerset Monday
night two
hours late. The speaking was billed to begin at 8:00
o'clock, but it was
nearly 10:30 before they started. A large crowd had
gathered in town early n
the night but after it was announced the special was two hours
late many
left. The opera house was filled, however, at the late hour
the speaking
started. The band furnished music during the evening and
many local speakers
tried to hold the audience. With little ceremony and a
short introduction,
Governor Morrow presented Governor Coolidge who spoke for three
minutes. He
was followed by Governor Lowden, Mr. Hodges of New York, and
Governor Morrow
closed the speaking with a short talk. In the audience were
many Democrats
who had hoped to hear the Republicans discuss the League of
Nations and other
important issues before the people. They were disappointed,
however, for no
effort was made to give their views on the main issues of the
campaign. They
each told a few jokes, said they were glad to be in the home town
of Ed
Morrow made a few slurring remarks about President Wilson and
then stopped.
The special left Somerset on Tuesday morning for Middlesburg.
County Board of Education To Be Election on November the
Second. In every
county in Kentucky, November 2nd, will be held an election
designed to
revolutionize the rural school system of the state. On that
date the voters
of each county will elect a non-partisan County Board of
Education, composed
of five members form the county at large who will next year elect
a County
School Superintendent. Five citizens of Pulaski county
filed their petitions
last week to get their names on the ballot. They are J.W.
Harrington,
Eubank, J.B. Gover, Bronston, Eli Farmer, Dykes, and Dr. Brent
Weddle of
Nancy. These trustees, two of whom serve for one year, one
for two years,
one for three years and one for four, are voted for on a separate
ballot
containing no party device. Only those residing in rural
school districts
are eligible to vote or to serve as members of the county
board. This
excludes residence of cities having independent schools and
resident of
graded school districts, such as Burnside, Science Hill, Eubank
and Pulaski.
It is thought this board will re-elect Mr. Meece as County School
Superintendent. He seems to have made good to the
satisfaction of every one
and his election will doubtlessly be unanimous.
Only Eight Hours. The employees of the Kentucky Utilities
Co. were granted a
request made by them some time ago that eight hours constitute a
day's work.
This order is now in effect. Just recently the men were
granted an increase
in salary.

attacked. Many shots were fired.
