Church at Mt. Carmel took place Sun
day and large crowds were present at
each of the special services through
out the day. Several from this city
were in attendance. Rev. J. Leslie

and through his untiring efforts and
perseverance the entire debt of the
church was liquidated, and an an
nouncement to that effect was made
yesterday. An orchestra from Flem-
ingsburg was present and furnished
the music for the days exercises. Miss

SIX KILLED IN NAVY YARD BLAST

vallejor, Cal, July Six persons
are known to have been killed In an
explosion which wrecked two store
houses at the Mare Island navy yard
today and at least thirty-one persons
we're injured.
Fire which for time threatened
to spread to the magazine proper was
extinguished. No estimate Of the pro-
perty damage has been made.
Buildings in various parts Of the
island were damaged and In some in
stances roofs lifted.
The damage in Vallejor was extern
sive, windows being shattered and
doors as far as two miles from the
scene twisted from their hinges.
No one was allowed to leave the

U. s. SOLDIERS MAY BE UNDER
GERMAN FIRE

A French Port, July S-This city
was astir today at the prospect Of
the impending departure Of the Amer
lean contingent for its permanent
training camp. Maj. Gen. William L.
Sibert has completed all arrangements
for moving the men. The General
himself will leave by automobile and
will take up quarters already pre-
pared In a village somewhere In
France" which will be within hear
ing Of the German guns. II not within
direct range.
The troops were enthusiastic to-
day at the prospect Of getting several
miles nearer real action and hailed
vociferously the prospect Of an early
departure. The town took vacation
to visit the camp. The residents had
heard only the vaguest rumors about
the troops leaving but did not ven-
ture to lose the opportunity to see
the Americans. The camp adjoining
the seaport was filled with civilians
who eagerly watched their prepara-
tions to leave.

Was Amount Of Money Collected In
Mason County In Big Red Cross :
DrIye-A Splendid Record.

The Mason County Chapter OF the
American Red Cross. In full and deep
appreciation, returns Its thanks to the
numerous and generous contributors
who 30 nobly responded to our recent
efforts In behalf Of the War Fund.
Your interest, your sympathy, your
generosity and your quick conception
and performance OF this most merci-
ful duty, exceeds anything in the high
record Of Mason County. We knew
there would be no Stacking" upon the
part OF great old Mason County, but
your prompt and generous action more
than exceeded our expectations. 1t is
such conduct that proves the great
ness Of people.
We are unable to personally ac-
knowledge each donation; but, sub
init below the result of our efforts by
precincts, and are confident that had
We been able to extend our organiza-
Etion to all precincts, that even better
results would have, been obtained. We
hope that the unorganized precincts
will yet take up the work and we will
be glad to cooperate with them tc
