CLEMENCEAU TO
 CHANGE SYSTEM
 OF FRENCH ARMY

Paris, Dec. 24-Premter Cfemenceau has sent a circular letter to Gen. Pe- tain and all the army chiefs pointing out that the experience of three years of war has shown that existing age limits are too high and that with a few rare exceptions commands are not effectively exercised at over 56 years for a regiment, 68 for a bri- gade, 50 for a diNison and 62 for an army corps.
 Under these conditions he adds, general and field officers over these ages must be given commands here after in the rear or placed at the dis posa1 of the minister of war.
 The only exception this rule will be general officers recommended to re- tain their commands on the personal responsibility of generals command ing armies.
 In the fatqTe the premier declares, mo promotions will be made to the rank of general of officers who have served only a short time in the line.
 This polscy will result in placing at the head of the fighting troops, he hopes, chiefs who knew them well and fin whom the soldiers can have full confidence from having seen them, at work The same principle will be us- ed in promoting field and subordinate officers.

ENTERTAIN MEN OF EXPEDIT|ONARY
 FORGE IN FRANCE
Refreshments and Amuse- ments Provided By the
 Y. MIG. A. For Men

Paris, Dec. Refreshments and amusements were provided for the first line trenches by the American Army and Navy Young Mems Chris tian Association. This work began in a COW shed in a little village just behind the. front lines under the d. rection of Ira, D. Shaw, a former Co., 1umbiaI University football player. The equipment to begin with consisted only of a small supply of chocolate, cigarettes and matches, which were passed out to the men as they passed the hut on their way "up the line"
 Later the COW shed was abandoned for a large habitable room with a splendid open fireplace. The asso- ciation headquarters in Paris largely augmented the supply Of refreshments and provided magazines, writing pa per and a talking machine, which was on "active service from early morning until late at night. Each evening groups of tired, wet AIneri- can infantrymen and their French courades-in-arms f1oeked to the room for a bit of entertainment The
 
 jeans as the shells started for the German lines could be heard plainly within the hut. Nearby were dug outs for shelter when the German shells came too close for comfort
 Not many kilonaeters from this ad- vance hut was another that originally was French barracks. It was glad 1y turned over to the American As. sociation which served there botf French and American soldiers Il had a canteen, games, writing ma tertal and two coal fires which were kept supplied by French soldiers.
 The r. M c. A. secretaries did no confne their work to the huts bu went almost to the front trenches with newspapers, magazines tobacca and other supplies.

 The plan provides that any asso- citation wishing to purchase food in car lots may forward their orders to the Food Administration office. This office will then secure quotations and forward them by wire to the man. ager of the local association. Upon the managers authorization the Hart ford office will place the order with a wholesale firm which will fill it at cost plus a commission of 50 cents ton over the invoiced price in the case of sacked grain, or one per cent. per bushel for grain in bulk. A com- mission of $1 per ton will be charged in the case of hay or straw,

 MT. Robert Scoville,

 Hartford, Conn.
 Dear Sirs
 This is to confirm the verbal re- port which I made to you of the unanimous action of the grain dealers in conference in your office yesterday afternoon.
 It was decided that we would will ingly sell to any accredited farmers cooperative association who desires to purchase goods in car lots so that their meEab bers may have the advan- tage of the lowest possible price as follows: All feeds either sacked or in bulk at 50 cents per ton over the | invoiced price at the date of pur- chase, $1 per ton on hay and straw and 1 cent per bushel on grain in , bulk, the terms to be draft with bill Of lad1ng attached payable on ar I rival of car, the purchaser to pay in terest charges on the draft from the ] time 1t is deposited until it is paid | IL lIS 0OSAA O0 O ScA HI transit there will be an additiona! charge of $2 per car which is the actual cost of diverting same.
 As explained to you there is at the l present time Q government order that all cars must be loaded to ca. pactty. In making purchases 1t Is i'm possible for the shipper to know al I the time of the sale what capacity cars will be placed for him to load so 1t is the prevailing custom to sell
 certain sized cars which at the mo
 ment are 1000 bushels for oats, 1,S0( bushels for corn, and 30 to 35 ton. 1 for sacked feed. Any averages te be adjusted on the same basis. The ] conditions of the sale shall be tho same with regard to inspection l weights etc, as are imposed upoI | us at the time of purchase and al
 claims for damage, shortage ol overcharges for freight shall be made /, by the condgnee. In the event O.
 such claims we have no> doubt tha. the concern who sold the goods would
 be willing to give the benefit of 1t
 business experience in advising tn

KAISER VISITS
 VERDUN TROOPS

Amsterdam, Dec. 24-Emperor VII liam visited the front north of Yer dun on Friday, according to a Berlin dispatch, and In an address to the troops thanked them warmly for their efforts.
 'tRut for the calm and heroic war riors on the western front" he said 'tthe enormous deployment of Ger man forces in the east and in Italy never would have been possible. The fighter in the west has exposed hero ically his body so that his brothers on the Dvina and the Isonzo might storm from victory to victory. The fearful battles on the bloody hill: around Verdun were not in vain: they created new foundations for the con duct of the war"

 STATE FOOD ADMINISTRATION

ready to furnish you or the purchaser with a certified copy of our invoice which would establish the cost price Of the goods to us.
 In case anyone of us has either in transit or for shipment feed or grain, we may be willing to offer at less than the market price, such offer ings will be made at a fiat price to the cooperative association in which case we do not feel 1t would be in- cumbent on us to furnish copies of the invoices, as the goods would be sold 8 tless than the market price. If split carloads from the West are desired, we would be glad to furnish them on the same basis as straight car loads, although it is usually necessary to pay an advance of about 50 cents per ton for loading the two kinds of feed into the car. However, in this case we would follow the same rule, viz, that of furnishing the invoice and charging the regular commission of 50 cents per ton. It is agreeable to those present that we shall pay the telephone charges in the event you call us requesting QuOGaI1O1lS~ 1uSI0 WcI0 pISS014S at the meeting representatives of the following concerns: Vincent Bros.

RETURNED TO RIPLEY

Marshal Havel of Ripley, was In
this city yesterday for the purpose OF
taking Virgil Brooks, colored, to Rip
ley. Brooks was arrested by the local
police about two weeks ago for horse
stealing. He was lodged in the local
jail. The Ohio authorities asked to
have the prisoner as he had violated
his parole from the State Reform
School but Chief Mackey would not
turn him over without the necessary
requisition papers. The Ohio officers
would not get the necessary papers
and so the boy would have been re-
leased this morning, the fifteen days
which he was to be held having ex-
pired.
Marshal Havel, however, brought
with him an order of the boys father
asking that his son be turned over to
the officer. Chief Mackey was COM
PEELED to do so and the boy returned
with Marshal Havel. He will be sent
to the Ohio Reform School to serve
the remainder of his term, having vio-
lated his parole. Brooks said that he
did not want to 60 back to the Ohio
Reform School but that he wanted to
serve in the Kentucky institution.

The subscriptions reported by the
members of the campaign committee
to secure the $4,000 necessary to get

ed to quite a neat sum. To date to-
tai of SLIP has been collected, leav-
ing $218S to be collected before the
close of the campaign.
The largest single contribution of
yesterday was one of $1O0 given by
Hon. J. N. Kehoe, President of the
Standard Bank.
The work which is proposed will be
Of the greatest benefit to Maysville
and Mason county. The full scope OF
the work is not realized by great
many people. That the officers and
their staff of assistants who will dc
the work will have the authority to
inforce existing laws of health and
sanitation is one Of the most impor-
tant features Of the survey. When
the work is completed Mason county
will be a cleaner, healthier and safer
place in which to live. The wore
