Clutches For War Cripples

A Canadian soldier who has been
returned to his home, after being kept
for some months as a wounded prison
er in a German hospital, was per-
mitted to retain his crutches which
are of great interest to his home peo-
pie as an example of German ingenu-
ity. They are adjustable so that they
can be utilized as conveniently by a
giant eight feet tall as by a midget.
In addition to their adjustable height,
the crutches are exceptionally light in
weight and are also strong enough to
bear any reasonable strain. It is said
that several large factories in Ger
many are now working full speed
turning out these crutches to meet
the demand. An interesting fact is
that many of the workers in the fac
tory are war cripples of some kind and
that the perfection of the crutches is
largely due to suggestions made by
men who have to use them.

Lending Gun to Kill Yaquis

JohnstoWn Geader.)
While Carranza was shudling his
troops about to induce us to hike out
of Mexico the Yaqui Indians came
down upon some of his isolated forces
and wiped them out, burning at the
stake those who were not killed in
battle. The Yaquis are fighters, and
also seem to be unpurchaseable. With
these characteristics, together with
their ability to survive all efforts to
exterminate them after robbing them
of their lands, they present a tough
problem in the Mexican situation. We
wonder whether our pacifist adminis-
tration is willing to slip Carranza a
loan of a hundred million or so to
enable the amiable First Chief to shoot
or hang the last Yaqui. 1t seems to
be considered rather rude for Yaquis
to kill carranzistas. Is 1t going to be
just as rude for Carranza to slaughter
the Yaquis? Or shall we send q polite
note to the chiefs OF the Broncho va
Quis and the Nayos1

GETTING HOME
BY Wing Dinger

Jumped into jitney car.
Last evening. after work.
It looked a wee bit dingy
And IT started with jerk.
1t needed paint quite badly
And it only had one lung.
While the dust of many ages
In and outside to 1t clung.
All of which I'd not discovered
Till I'd settled insmy seat,
Or think I would have beaten
From that car a quick retreat.
For was in quite a hurry.
And I pictured how this flower
OF the "nineties." aged and feeble,
To my home would use an hour.
But Just let me tell you, brother.
When that boat got under way
And from one street side to other
It did jump. and leap and sway
There was nothing that could touch
And landed. let me state. -
In less time than can get home
In car that's up-to-date.

The attempt of the officials OF the
Post Office Department to muzzle the
press OF the country by placing in the
hands of the Postmaster General the
power to elect whether magazines and
other publications shall be sent by mail
or freight, has been getting a good
airing in the Senate. So much feeling
and revulsion has been created against
the proposition that it will get its
quietus. This is but another attempt
of the present administration to thwart
the will of the people, and has been the
means Of stirring up much criticism
and unfavorable comment on the meth
ods of the present post office officials.

It will not do to lulI ourselves to

she cannot compete with us in the

ties of a resourceful people, and

shall have Il, and her only way to
factured goods at prices low enough
to get back that gold: and this she
will unquestionably do. AS matters
stand to-day we are wholly unpre-
pared to repel her attempt to do
this.
This view of the case squares exactly
with the conclusions of Roger w. Bab-
son, the distinguished statistical ex-
pert. We have no business in this
country to deceive ourselves and we
must be prepared through proper ad-
ministrative regulations and policies to
meet the impact of the European COM
petition.
Those who are familiar with past
Democratic performances will not be
impressed with a nonpartisan tariff
commission and certain other panaceas
proposed by the present wobbly lead
ership at Washington. Only through the
placing of Republican statesmen in
the saddle can we be sure of con-
structive and sane government during
the crisis which will come with the
ending of the war.

That is the feeling in America. %

That is the feelinS In America. If
Germany wins. we are next" is an
opinion widely prevalent. The rape
of Belgium was responsible for the
start of the anti-German sentiment
here, the dastardly attack on the
Lusitania added fuel to the flames and
the efforts of Germany to subsidize
all America to her own ends in
creased the growing resentment, but
the fear of German aggression in Am
erica-that in a measure the allies
are fighting our fght-that has been
responsible for the growth OF anti
German sentiment in this country.
Americans do not hate Germans.
They admire them as a people and
they sympathize with them in their
troubles. We don't want to see the
allies batter their way to Berlin any
more than we want to see the Ger
mans take Paris. But we do detest
tho German militaristic policy and we
want to see it thoroughly defeated
and repudiated. Our own safety and
that of the whole world lies in that
direction.

We do not hate the German peo-
pie; we do not wish to break up
Germany nor destroy her national
unity, nor inilict permanent injury
upon her. What we desire Is to
exercise an evil spirit and discredit
the military caste which delights
in war and threatens not only Eu-
rope, but all countries, America in
cluded.
Not content for Germany to be a
great prosperous nation among
other nations, the German Govern
ment desires to dominate the world.
The only safety for the world is to
discredit by defeat that military
caste and the military system
which gained its control and laid
it's yoke upon the German people
by three successful wars.

Rev. N F. Jones' the newly elected
pastor of the First Baptist Church
will take charge next Sunday morn
ing. Preparations are being made for
banner Sunday and committees arc
at work planning programs for the
Sunday School and b. Y. p. U.
Rev. Jones is not a stranger to the
Maysville people, having held one OF
the most successful meetings the
church has had In many year; also
he was Evangelist for the Bracken AS
ISOLATION and pastor of the Lewisburg
Church. He has almost genius for
making friends, whether among the
educated and refined of the commun-
ity, or among the less fortunate as
to education and social position, and
once you come under the charm OF
his personality and the magic of his
conversation is to acknowledge his
power and influence. He is an intense
Baptist and can tell why and never
loses a suitable opportunity to do so
His fidelity to New Testament religion
and Baptist faith has been impressed
upon the Baptists over a large area
of Northern Kentucky. Maysville is
indeed proud to know that such a
fearless man oSGod will come into her
midst and wishes him abundant sue
cess in his new field.
Mr.. w. A. Munzing, the choir leader,
is arranging for special music, and 9
large chorus choir will sing the old
time songs of praise. The officers OF
the Sunday School are preparing for
a large crowd, and the B. Y. P. U. will
enter upon their new contest with re-
newed energy.
A special invitation is extended to
all to come and worship.

cal ChautRuqua Last Year win
Give Concert Here for Benefit
Of Mason County Health
Leagues Automobile
Fund.-

Marcus Kellerman, the great bari
tone artist, who pleased such large
audience at the Maysville Chautauqua
during the season Of 1915, will give a
concert in this city on Tuesday, No
vember 21st, for the benefit of the Ma
son County Health Leagues automo-
bile fund,
1t will be remembered that several
months ago 1t was suggested that a
fund be started for the purpose of pur-
chasing the Mason County Health
Leagues Visiting Nurse with an au-
tomobile There was neat little. sum
contributed to this fund but the plan
seemed to lag and nothing has been
done toward increasing the fund for
some time.
Through the efforts of Banker H. G.
Sharp, the local League had the OPP
portunity to secure Mr.: Kellerman and
his company for the above date and
they thought this would be splendid
opportunity to again revive the Auto
mobile Fund. Arrangements are now
under way to have Mr.. Kellerman, to-
gether with his violinist and pianist
here on November 21st for the purpose
OF increasing this fund.
There needs be no argument in ia
vor of the proposition of purchasing
this machine for all know that with
the assistance of an automobile the
Visiting Nurse will be able to make
more visits in the city and county and
make them more promptly. Mr.. KEEL
herman and his company of artists will
need no introduction of a Maysville
audience for all of those who heard
him at the Chautauqua year ago are
advertisers of his company. He is
recognized as one of the best male
singers in the country and his assist
ing artists are experts on their in
struments.
Mr.. Kellerman has submitted very
attractive program to the local peo-
pie and the matter will be gone into
more thoroughly this week. More
