CORP. REYNOLDS
GIVES HIS LIFE
FOR COUNTRY
Brother of Local Insurance Man Is
Among Those Reported on the
Roll of Honor.

Mr.. Luther c. Reynolds, Assistant
Superintendent of the Metropolitan
Life Insurance Company, last night
received a long distance telephone
call from his parents in Cincinnati
informing him that they had just been
notified by the government that his
brother Corporal James F. Reynolds,
of the United States Marine Corps,
had given his life for his country in
France.
Full particulars could not be OBJ
tained last night or this morning as
the message which came by wire to
Cincinnati had been mailed to Mr..
Reynolds parents, who live in the
country a short distance from the city
and it is not known whether Corpor-
al Reynolds died from wounds in a
hospital or was killed in action.
Only a few weeks ago young Mr..
Reynolds was honored in France by
receiving a special medal for marks
manship and even while in training in
this country he received several med
ais for his ability with the rife.
He volunteered for service at the
beginning of the war and chose the
Marine Corps in which to serve. He
went to France early last fall and
since his arrival there his relatives
have received numerous letters tell
ing of how well he was pleased and
what pleasure it gave him to fight un-
der his countrys flag. Although cen
sorship did not permit him to be thor
ough in his explanations, Corporal
Reynolds intimated several times that
he had been in engagements.

Chief of Police Harry A. OrtsFeturn-
ed last night from Cincinnati where

county.
Johnson had registered with the
Mason County Board but he had fail
ed to fill out and file his question
naire and had been away from this
city and out of the way of the local
officers for some time. Since the Pa
triotic League in Cincinnati has been
getting after the young men for not
having their registration cards, John
son must have thought it was about
time he was getting his card and he
wrote to a county official saying that
he had lost his card and asking that a
duplicate card be obtained for him.
The letter was turned over to the To-
cal board and they in turn reported
the case to Chief Ort
Chief Ort went to Cincinnati Thurs
day afternoon and called at the num-
ber given by Johnson in his letter but
he did not live there. An investigation
was started by the Maysville chief and
the negro was soon located on an
other street.
Chief Ort was armed with papers

at once to Fort Thomas where he was
turned over to the army authorities as

PEACE drive
HAS OPENED
Won Hertling Declares New Foreign
Policies and Discusses Peace in
Reichstag Debate.

London, July 12-Debate on the
general political situation was opened
in the reichstag on Thursday by I'M
perial Chancellor Won Hertling, who
discussed the retirement of DR.. Won
Kuehlmann, the German foreign sec
retary, the foreign policy of the gov
ernment and the economic problems
which had arisen because of recent
developments in the east. According
to German official wireless message
received here the imperial chancellor
said in part:

imperial reply to the peace note of
Pope Benedict. The pacific spirit
which inspired this reply has also
inspired me. At the time, however, |
added that this spirit must not give
our enemy free conduct for an inter-
minable continuation of the war.
What have we lived to see, how
ever? While for years there can have
been no doubt whatever of our will
ingness to hold out our hands toward
an honorable peace, we have heard

speeches delivered by enemy states

for foreign affairs, has said must real

AS long as this desire for our destruc.

everywhere. AS long as the desire
for our destruction exists, we mus
hold out, and we will hold out, Will
confidence in our troops, in our arm,
administration and our magnificent
nation, which bears so wonderfully
these difficult times with their grea
privations and continuous sacrifices.
"In the direction of our policy moth
ing will be changed. If, in spite o
these hostile statements by thes,

paving of the way to peace were t

quite certainly we would not adopt {
