DONATIONS
10 the Red Cross Thlnlble Fund Last
Week Showed That the People Of
MaysvIlle Are Very
Liberal.

LIvSiuh
The people OF Maysvillc and Mason
county were generous last week In
their gifts to the Red Cross. The ar
ticles Of silver. brass, copper or gold
which were given to be melted and
sold in order that the proceeds might
be given to our local chapter.
Beautiful pieces Of silverware, q sill
yer condelabra, four-bell metal kettles
which are practically priceless now,
all sorts of odds and ends OF really
valuable jewelry, toilet articles, ETC.,
we're poured into the public library
Saturday.
This was only the first day and II
Is hoped that many more articles will
be sent in within the next few days.
The amount that was given In Satur-
day is small in comparison to the
need which the Red Cross Is now fac
ing.
We have splendid local organiza-
ton, but the demands on It are in
cessant, so much so that the financial
resources are very needy right now.
Therefore, we must give and give
until 1t hurts in order that the chap
ter which we knoy is doing 80 much
good now may continue to do SO; and
the Red Cross work can not 60 on I'M
less 1t is helped often.
Let the Red Cross know in this and
in any other way that the people of
Maysville are standing behind the or
ganization and that they are willing
to give and give freely to it.
This time they are only asking for
cast-off metal articles of any sort, 1t
is the least that we can do to do our
best in supplying them.

DISPEL THE DELUSION

Rev. DR.. Newell Dwight Hills IS
doing yoeman service in laying bare
the German policies OF "frightfulncss"
and "ruthlessness" in the warfare that
military despotism is waginG against
the freedom and liberty and humanity
Of the world. The outrages and
atrocities Of the German soldicry have
not been born Of the frenzy of battle,
but have been coolly calculated and
urged uron them by the constituencies
and bloody government. 1t is all di-
rected by a master mind OF cruelty
and barbarlsm that puts to shame the
rarages Of the untutored Hun.
There can be no differentiation be.

autocratic and shameless po1ors that
govern them. Let Us d!sps' all dc

TO CHECK EXTRAVAGANZA

II the President had not eIerted his
influence in defeating the measure
providing for the appointment OF a
Joint Congressional committee on war
expenditures. perhaps the people
would have had more confidence In
the economical disbursement Of their
money, and responded more promptly
TO the appeal for subscriptions to the
present war loan. The opposition OF
the White House TO the COMMITTEES Is
inexplicablc and II was meant to be
helpful, not obstructive. and po'
litically would have been composed
OF a majority membership Of the
Presidents own party.
Blu; there is some hope that there
may yet be a check on extravaganza.
There arr committees in the House
for the investigation OF the expendi-
lures in each of the Executive De
2artments Of the government. They
seldom do any work however, being
created principally for the purpose OF
giving their chairmen an additional
clerk at government expense. In view
OF the failure OF Congress TO provide
COMMITTEES on war expenditures,
Representative George ". Edmonds
Of PENNSYLVANIA. Is Of the opinion
that the committees already in exist
ence ought to perform some active
service. and with that end in view
he Introduced resolution In the
House during the closing days OF the
last session in which those commit
tees were "directed" TO begin invesu-
cations OF the Departments, with a
view TO bringing about economies.
The resolution has gone over until the
next session. which begins in Decen-
Der, and at that time Mr.. Edmonds
will endeavor to secure favorable
action upon 1t. Ii will be interesting
to watch the progress OF this reso-
luton. -

Secretary Of the Treasury. Secretary

cause OF his official position. but be-
