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. Wrecked By Dynamite Explosion. Morgantown, W.Va. The tipple and the entrance to the Rockford Coal Mine of the Connellsville Basin Coal and Coke Company at Rockford, W.Va., near here, were damaged seriously by an explosion of dynamite. Twelve men at work in the mine succeeded in making their escape. Soon after the explosion the power house of the coal company was attacked. Many shots were fired. Germans Deliver Coal. Paris. Germany fulfilled the terms of the Spa coal agreement for August and September by delivering to the allies 1,936,865 tons of coal, the Reparations Commission announced. Of this France received 1,577,629 tons, the remainder having gone to Italy, Belgium and Luxembourg. Program.
