ENEMY O0j-CT FAILS
Germans Gain No Advantage BY
U-Boat Attacks.
Spectacular Raids Of Atlantic Coast
Came to Naught From Every
Standpoint.

Washington, June 5.-Germany has
failed to gain any military advantage
from her spectacular Uboat raids off
the American coast.
II she intended to terrorize the
American mind she has failed like
wise to accomplish that
These two facts stood out In bold

American naval strength abroad would

Operations Date From May Is.
The fact that operations had beer
carried on since May 25 came as 6
distinct shock to the national capital
II was proven, however, from the fac
that that the derelict Edna, recently
towed into Lewes, Del, and the Hattie
Dunn were both attacked on thai
date.
Scores of the widest rumors flooded
the Navy department in the wake o.
the U-boat operations. Reports of bat
ties off the coast between submarines
and steamers resulting in the des
truction of the latter were not Off
cially confirmed.

ENEMY SHELLS LIFEB0ATS
Evidence That Boats From Lost Caro-.
lima Were Attacked.

New York, June 5.-Evidence that
the German submarine that attacked
the New York and Porto Rico liner
Carolina, shelled its lifeboats ives
brought here by a British steamer
from West Indian ports. The British
ship reported that 1t had picked up on
Cape May, an empty motor lifeboat
belonging to the Carolina, damaged by
shell fire.
The hull OF the motor boat had been
pierced by the fire of the U-boat's
guns. One of only three oars found
in the boat had been splintered In q
way that indicates the use OF a ma
chine gun.
There was found in the boat mans
cap and a number OF biscuit tins.
A boat from the steamship Carolina
containing 10 survivors, including two
women, has landed at Lewes, Del.

SINKS IL FISHING BOATS
German Submarine Destroys Irish
Craft by Shell Fire.

London, June 5.-Twelve of fleet
of 80 or 40 fishing vessels, which left
Irish ports on the night of May 30,
were sunk by a German submarine.
says a Belfast dispatch to the Daily
Telegraph. The submarine suddenly
appeared in the midst OF the fleet and
ordered the fishermen to take to the
boats and row ashore. 1t then sank
the vessels by shelling them.
The fishermen say the submarine
was interrupted in its work and sub
merged, which probably prevented the
destruction of the entire fleet.

Allies Have Almost Succeeded in
Checking the German
Offensive.
ENEMY FEELS LOSSES
Stiffenlng Of Entente Lines Has Re
suited in Crown Princes Army
Paying an Exorbitant Price In
Lives for Small Gains Made.

Paris, June 5.-The French have
stopped the German drive toward
Paris, it now may be safely said,
as was forecast when the offensive
began. 1t lasted just eight days.
The enemy movement is now split
ting up into a series of battles
for positions In which the French
have the advantage of terrain.
London, June 5.-While the new Of
fensive of the Germans has not been
completely checked. there is, never
theless, a decided slackening of the
speed with which they started out
and their gains since last Saturday
have been slight when compared with
those of previous days.
And according to the accounts OF
unofficial observers, wherever they
have been able since the stiffening OF
the Allied lines to attain new posi-
tions, an exhorbitant price in lives has
been exacted from them. So great
have been the casualties suffere that
the Prussian guards division-the
pride of the German crown prince
is declared to have been withdrawn
from the battle.
Particularly hard flghting again has
been in progress between Scissors
and Chateau Thierry where the Ger

French troops almost everywhere sue

German Line Being Hard Held.
The German war Office at last has
admitted that the Allied line on the
west has been reinforced by fresh
French units, but Ii asserts that they

Nevertheless, the fact is patent from
an observation of the war maps thai
almost everywhere, in this region the
German line, for the moment at least
is being hard held.
From Chateau Thierry eastward
along the Marne and thence to Rheims
the situation is virtually unchanged
from that of Sunday. The enemy holds

the retuTns from Perry county in, the

speed shown in getting the registra-

Chairman For Mason County Of
the Women In the Fourth Lib

A very enthusiastic meeting of the
women's committee Of the Fourth Lib
erty Loan Campaign was held yester-
day in the ball room of the Phoenix
Hotel, Lexington, to discuss plans for
the women's part in the big bond drive
September 2S-October 10.
The women of the state who in the
past campaign have had leading part
were present to discuss all plans and
the meeting developed into a very in
teresting one in which 1t was plainly
shown that the women of the state
can have q great part in making the
bond issue this time great success.
County chairmen for the entire
state we're named and Mrs. N. s. Cal
houn, of Maysville, was named chair
man for Mason county. Mrs. Cal
houn, it will be remembered, was
chairman of the women's work during
the third campaign and under her
guidance the women of Mason county
made great showing and were n
great help to the county organization.
1t is certain the women of the county
can be of even more assistance this
time and Mason county's women will
do their full part as they have always
done.

ALIEN ENEMIES
MUST have PERMIT
BEFORE MOVING
Every Alien Enemy Is Not Permitted
to Change Place Of Residence
without First Procuring Per.
mission From Registrar.

Chief of Police Harry A. Ort, who
is enemy alien registrar for the city
of Maysville, has just received from
United States Marshal Henry M. Cox,
at Covington, letter informing him
that under no circumstances will alien
enemies be allowed to change their
places of residence without the per-
mission of the registrars in the dis
trict in which they now live
Marshal Cox cites the following
rules as covering the situation which
should be read carefully and strictly
observed by all alien enemies:
A German alien woman changing
her place OF residence to another
place within the same registration
district shall Immediately report such
change to the registration officer of
the registration district and present
to such registration officer her regis
tration card for the purpose of having
endorsed thereon by such registration
officer the change of residence. A Ger
man alien female who desires to
change her place of residence to a
place of residence within another reg
istration district must obtain per-
NIT. Such German alien female must
present herself to the registration Of
ficer of the district in which she then
resides and make application for the
permit on form supplied by the reg
istration officer, and present her reg
istration card to the registration Of
iicer for the purpose OF having the
granted, endorsed upon her registra-
ton card. If the registration officer
denies the application there may be
an appeal under certain clrcum-
stances set forth in Article KILL para
graph 3, of the General Regulations,
to the United States Marshal of the
judicial district for final action.
A change of residence in violation
of the Regulations subjects an alien
enemy, among other penalties, to ar
rest and detention for the period Of
the war.
The registration officer who acted
in the registration will continue to act
as registration officer for the purpose
stated in respect to permits for
change of residence.
