"There ma.y be doxens of men thousands all about, under us, perhaps; we couldn't gee them, you know." Picture five miles of intercommunicating trenches, and these oniy one section of scattered war works, hidden and lost so tftat one high on the seat of tin automobile, on elevated ground, couldn't find them ISO yards off. AVe did fir.il them -narrow black lines they seemed to be, zigzagging over hillocks of grass and sand. Bombing Is Taught. J-lad those trenches been filled with enemies instead of with training friends we should have been shattered by grenades, Jyombs or snipers' bullets long before we could have known where they had come from. As it was, 'at Kelly came forth to greet us.

-Vow ('apt. Kelly is tin expert bomber, back from fifteen mom lis in France to show recruits what bombs tin like and what they tire for, to reveal to them the. strange technique of this ghastly but fascinating business of pitching curves and "putting 'em over" in the lioltet sporting contest ever, tie game to decide the world championship. A Mulling, dinipi' young man is Kelly. He fondles his bombs -with lhe naive affection of a small girl coddling her dolls.

He loves them- -he has seen them "go." His mild eye snaps when one of the egg-shaped" iesi ilcr.ces scores a "hit," as the British jocundly call it. From Trench. To Trench. Homb-throwing does not resemble tossing a baseball to any great degree. It is a finer science a.nd exacU: more precise skill.

Hut the. throw-has a uni'iue parabola based not upon neatness or beauty but upon necessity of t.hiwvitig out of a trench seven feet deep, over "no man's" flat area, varying in dimensions, into the. other fellow's trench, also seven feet deep and often not more than two feet wide nt its top.

"When the hurler litis learned what to do with shrapnel bombs he must learn all over again, for he has to other things, such as black powder and primer bombs and grenades.

It is expected that within twenty-four hours the War Department will announce the firm that it has chosen to serve as contractor for the construction of the cantonment at Louisville.

Voting occupied a cushioned chair in the auditorium of The Seelbaeh last night, and listened, alternately with smiles and moistened eyes, to speakers reciting the story of his life achievements the speokeis ranging in their themes from his ability as a lawyer to reminiscences of his soldier days. The occasion was the celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of Gen. Voting's superintendency of the Sunday-school of the Stuart Jtobinson church. Widely known men paid either oral or written tribute to Gen. Voung.

Among letters received was one trom President Wilson, which read as follows: "The Itev. Robert M. Bell: It would give me real pleasure to be present when you pay your tribute to Gen. Bennett H. Voung.

but, unhappily, it is manifestly impossible for ule to leave Washington. 1 hope you will convey to Gen. Voung my warmest congratulations and my admiration foi tie- long and unusual service lie bus rendered. Cordially and sincerely yours. VOODROW WII.SO.V" While particularly glowing tributes lor Gen.

Voung came from the lips ol prominent Louisville men, while others came in the form of letters, none pleased him more than a tribute in the form of a verse sent bv the teachers and superintendent of the Kentucky School for the Blind, an institution in which Gen. oung has been interested for many years. The. verse, read by the Rev. Robert Boll, pastor of the Stuart Robinson church, who introduced the speakers, follows: "Onward.

Christian soldier! The battle ne'er give o'er: You've trod the path for fifty years wish you fifty more. So here's a rose for each year gone by. Full of fragrance rare: May they bring to your Jubilee sweet and fair." Those who delivered addresses at the reception last night were Judge Shackelford Miller, of the Kentucky Court of Appeals; Maj.

as installments on tlie present loan will continue till August 3(1 and at least thirty days probably will be devoted to the second campaign. The exact measure ot the country's response uv the loan probably will not be known until next week.

This count will include oniy the subscriptions received at the dead-line hour of noon, Many Too Late. Thousands of subscriptions camp too late to the Federal Reserve banks.

It Is possible that where It can be shown that their failure to reach the Reserve bank in time was mU'- due to no fault of the subscriber or the forwarding bank, some of them may be accepted. Whether lhe subscriptions are allowed or not. it is felt that they manifest the willingness of tlie subscribers to answer the Government's call and should be shown in the tual of what tlie American people offered to take.

Great Britain's tlrst loan was taken almost entirely by her wealthy classes.

LOUISVILLE SUBSCRIBED ALMOST DOUBLE QUOTA More Than 25.290 Persons Took Part In Liberty Loan Here. Louisville subscribed to the Liberty Loan bond issue.

The sale of bonds by organited forces of business men stopped within two davs of its start with the issue more than 000. 000 over-subscribed, but subscriptions kept lolling nevertheless, every day.

The twemy-nine Kentucky counties and two Indiana counties in the Louisville Clearing House District, not including Louisville or Jefferson county, last night had reported subscriptions totalling There Is a decided probability, though, that these figures are not complete, as it is believed that several banks sent subscriptions late yesterday direct to the Federal Reserve Hank at St. Louis. The allotment for the Louisville district, including the city and Jefferson county, was Outside of this city and county, the allotment was $4,080,700.
