BATTLE SHIP.
To I5e Present ril To Uncle Sam By the
Kussian Hebrews in America.
(Cincinnati Enquire.)
A movement has been started in this
city to have the Russian Hebrews liv
ing in the United States raise a fund
with which to purclrise a battle ship
to be presented to the United States
Government.
The prime mover in this patriotic
project is Mr. Jacob UosenGeld, of 707
Main street. In ISS'J when thousands
of Hebrews immigratad to America to
escape the persecutions inilictcd upon
them in llussia, Mr. Rosen field was
among them. All of h's people, he says,
sufferel so many hardships and abject
miseries in Russia that their new home
in America, where they arc permitted
to enjoy liberty and equality, is the
greatest blessing that they could wish
for. Now that this nation is involved
in war he thinks it a good time for the
Russian Hebrews to show that they
love their adopted county, and attest
their appreciation of the many bless
ing they have obtained here. ,,We are
all patriotic," he sac, "and this coun
try is in many respects dearer to us
than it is to the native born Americans,
because we can better appreciate the
advantages of liberty and equality."
He has suggested the purchase of a
battle ship by the Russian Hebrews
to a number of his countrymen, and
they arc all heartily in favor of it. He
says there arc several hundred thous
and of them in this country, and that
each woald contribute $10 or more to
ward the purchase of the proposed bat
tle ship. He also spoke to Rabbi Isaac
M. Wise about the matter and he gave
him much encouragement A mass
meeting of Russian Hebrews will be
held here to arrange plans for carrying
out the project,

Fkaxkfokt, Ky., May 4. Gov. Rrad

order for the moving of troops to the
point of mobilization would probably
come to Lieut. Vestal, and that Lk-ut.
Wstal had authority to ,ive an order
owr his (Gov. Hradley's) signature to
move. It is thought at this end of the
line that the order for the Second regi
ment to move will be given Tuesday.
It is now apparent that practically
no equipments are left for the com
panies being formed and who want to
be mustered into the state militia to
form a home guard, and be subject to
the soeond call of the president Arms
for not more than two or three
companies will be in posses
sion of the stale authorities
after present bt-itc guards are mustered
into the United Slates service. This
is probably the reason for the state
ment of Gov. Rradley Tuesday that
only four companies would be organ
ized at present to succeed the state
militia.
It is said that Louisville, Lexington,
and Howling Given will be allowed to
organize new comnanies.

EEMAE2ABLE SPIRIT OF PE0GSES3
It Is Not for the Benefit of a Clasn, but
for tbe Musses Many Important Sub
jects Will Be DUcosaeU by Those Most
Competent to Handle Them Promo
tion and Development Are to Be Con
sidered to tbe exclusion of Less Profit
able Things.
Kentucky's first stata commercial
convention, to be held in Louisville
May 11 and 12. is to be a success. Tho
movement in that direction has pro
gressed far enough to a3suro those
engineering it of that fact.
It is to be a success because the
lawyer, the farmer, the merchant, the
manufacturer, the lumber dealer, the
mine owner, the stockraiser, the bank
er and the Journalist will all unite in
one grand effort to push Kontucky and
her untold resources to the front. It
is to be a success because business
talks are to take the place of political
speeches; because promotion and de
velopment are to be discussed to the
exclusion of less profitable things;
finally it is to be a success because the
time is ripe for a state commercial
convention to be a succes3.
Less than two months ago several
progressive business men, members
of tbe Louisville Commercial club,
held a meeting in Louisville to form
ulate plans for a convention which
would have for its object the creation
of a sentiment favorable to industrial
development, teaching the benefits of
Buch a course and to prepare literature
setting forth Kentucky's advantages.
This little gathering was followed by
larger ones until the bit of enterprise
that was manifested in the first meet
ing burst into a spirit of progress that
was made to permeate the entire
state. The convention soon assumed
tangible form. An executive commit
tee, with representatives from every
congressional district, was named, as
were committees on delegation, press
and publicity, finance, transportation,
hall, entertainment, and delegation
state at large. Mr. Clarence Dallam,
a well known and popular young at
torney of Louisville, who is a native of
Henderson, but was for many years
identified with Paducah as a lawyer,
was elected chairman, and Mr. J. C.
Van Felt, assistant secretary of the
Commercial club, secretary.
Thus industry's star of promotion
rose rapidly. A meeting was held at
which seven of the 11 districts had
prominent representation, and a pro
gram was arranged, the following
subjects being selected as those that
are to be discussed during tho con
vention: "Kentucky! Advantages Geo
graphical, Climate and Soil."
"Our Agricultural Opportunities and
Needs."
"Our Industrial Opportunities and
Needs."
"The Best System of State and Lo
cal Taxation."
"How May Capital Be Best Attract
ed to and Most Profitably Employed
in Kentucky 2"
"Immigration The Be3t Method of
Encouraging Desirable Immigration."
"Corporations Uses and Abuses
A Just Discrimination the Fart of
Wisdom."
"Rallroads The Greatest Source of
Development, and How Best to Em
ploy It"
"Good Roads Essential to Progress
and Prosperity."
