SENATE PASSES
MAN-POWER BILL
WITH IS VOTES
Efforts to Change IS to As Age Limits
Fail-NOw Goes to Conference.

Washington, August 27-The man
power bill bringing within the army
draft all men from Is to as years old
was passed late today by the senate,
with modified work or fight clause.
All efforts to change the age limits
or to direct separate classification of
youths under 81 failed, and the meas
ure now goes to conference between
the house and senate with no differ
ence for serious controversy except
the work or fight provision.
The senate was recorded unani-
mously for the bill. Senator Gore of
Oklahoma, who cast the only negative
vote on the roll call, dithdrew it and
was excused from voting.
There were rs affirmative votes.
The work or fight" amendment as
retained in the bill provides:
THAT when any person shall have
been placed in a deferred or exempted
class for any of the reasons in this
paragraph set forth, he shall not be
entitled to remain therein unless he
shall in good faith continue, while
physically able to do so, to work at
and follow such occupation, employ
ment or business, and if he fails to
do so he shall become subject to the
draft. The president shall make reg
ulations for enforcing this provision.
This provision shall not apply in
the case of strike if the strikers
have submitted or will at once submit
the dispute to the war labor board,
agree to abide and do abide by its de-
cision and do at once resume work
and continue work pending such de-
cision. The said board shall take up
and decide all disputes as speedily as
practicable"

CHORUS PLANS
ARE PROGRESSING
VERY RAPIDLY
Practically Assured That Mason C0un-
ty viii Have First Class
Community Chorus.

The plans for the Community Cho-
rus are progressing in fine shape and
the chairmen of the several precincts
are meeting with fine response.
They are trying to visit every sing
er in their precinct and extend to
them a personal invitation to attend
the Saturday evening and Sunday af-
ternoon rehearsals, but if you know of
a singer in your ward we hope that
you will notify the chairmen, if they
overlook that person. We again print
the names of the several chairmen of
the precincts; Mrs. Jennie Zeigler
chairman of the county outside of
town; Mr. Wadsworth Clark, chair
man in the first precinct; Miss Mar
garet Smith in the second; Miss Pat
tie Quaintance, in the third; Miss
Mary Wilson in the fourth; George
Royse in the fifth; ]. II. Richardson
in the sixth, Mrs. Gertrude Fetter in
Eastland neighborhood.
The Community Chorus is proving a
very popular movement these days
and there is no reason why Mason
county cannot have a Community
Chorus that will rank among the best.
We have some very good singers and
there is no reason why we should
not have big chorus of one hundred
voices, ready to help with every pa
| triotic endeavor. There is a great deal
of work connected with the organic
ing of a chorus and those that are
planning to give us such a valuable
organization, should be commended
and receive the support of every citi-
zen in the community. Encourage ev-
cry person that sings, to attend this
rehearsal and you will render a SER
vice to the organization. This is to
be strictly a community affair and no
partiality will be shown. We are sure
that the contemplated organization
will be source of much good to Ma
son county when it becomes an active
| force.

DRAWS 3 MONTHS
FOR STEALING So
FROM A FRIEND
Circumstantial Evidence Strong
Against Young COlOred Man Who
just Returned From Peni-
tentinry and He Is Given
Thirty Days For Petit
Larceny.

Hannah Marks was tried in Police
Court yesterday afternoon on charge
of petit larceny and was given a SEN
tence OF three months at hard labor
by Judge Whitaker.
Marks just returned a few weeks
ago from the Frankfort penitentiary
where he had served term of one
year on a charge of shooting and
wounding his wife.
When he arrived in the city short
time ago with his wife and small
child, he had no place to go and
Richard Strawder, big hearted col
ored man, offered to take him in for
shelter over the night. Strawder's
wife had gone to the country to visit
relatives and before she left she had
safely hidden under a couch at her
home a pocket book containing nine
teen dollars. and some small change
which she had worked for at the to-
bacco factory. She did not tell her
husband about hiding this money and
the husband put Marks and his wife
to sleep on this couch.
When the wife returned several
days later she looked at her pocket
book the first thing and discovered
that nine dollars of the money was
gone. She reported the matter to her
husband and it was then taken up
with Marks who told Mrs. Strawder
confidentially that if she did not say
anything more about the money being
missing he would replace every cent
of it.
In Police Court yesterday he denied
stealing the money but the circum-
stantial evidence was so strong that
Judge Whitaker found him guilty and
gave him a sentence of three months
at hard labor.

MAYSVILLE STANDS CHANCE
TO SEE HORSES TESTED
U. s. Army Horse Endurance Ride
May Come Through Maysyille-
HOrsemen Here TO Pull For
Columbus Trip.

Several days ago 1t became known
that an endurance ride of the various
sort of horses raised in this section
Of the country would be held to deter
mine the best class of horses for the
service of the United States army.
The test, it was announced, would be
under the supervision of the Army
Horse Association of Washington and
Lexington would likely be the center
of this, the fifth zone.
Secretary Carl Dodds, of the Mays
vile Chamber of Commerce, always
on the alert to bring good things to
Maysville, got into communication
with the secretary of the Army Horse
Association and yesterday received a
communication from him in which he
said that If the endurance ride for this
zone was arranged from Lexington to
Columbus, Ohio, it could be arranged
through Maysville and Maysville
could very properly be one of the sta
tions on the road and an inspection
and judging of the horses here might
be made great public and spectacu-
lar affair
The Secretary explained however,
that the routing of the endurance ride
was left entirely to the zone commit
tee and this means that Maysville will
get busy at once in an endeavor to
help the Columbus folks boost the
ride through from Lexington to that
city SO that Maysyille will be on the
route.

With the British Army in France,
August 27-Having been still further
extended by attacks launched north
of the river Scarpe, the battle today,
was raging along field almost as
miles long, and the British with re-
newed vigor we're rolling UP the
Boche before them and sweeping con-
stantly eastward.
Nearly in the center of the bat
tlefield hard fighting has been in pro-
gress along the old Hindenburg line
in the neighborhood of Croiselles,
Fontaine-Les-Croise and Bulle-
court and once through the German
strong defences in this locality, open
fresh ground remains beyond.
The Hindenburg line has actually
been pierced at one place, east of
Heninel, and the weaker portion of 1t,
northwest of Fontaine-Les-Croiselles,
has been captured and mopped up.
During today's fighting the British
captured high grounds from which
they can overlook the country occu-
pied by the enemy for miles around,
and have thus attained great advan-
tage. The Bois Du Sart, one of these
places lies south of the Scarpe and
northeast of Monche lie RreuX and Ii
was feared that here the enemy might
hold up the advance for a time. 1t
was captured, however, after a short
struggle, in which the Germans lost
heavily
Another similar valuable point is
Montauban, northwest of Mametz,
which fell this morning after the Ger
mans had been given orders to hold
1t at all costs.
Still another is Dompierre, south
east of Cappy-Sir-Somme. Dompierre
was reached in the forenoon. From
this point there is now rolling country
all the way back to Peronne. Incl
dentally the British at this place are
now only six miles from Peronne
where the Somme bends to the south
Bapaume, having been almost sur
rounded, has been entered by British
patrols, and they have been fighting
in the streets. The town, therefore
is a sort of No Mans Land for the
moment, but its complete capture
seems only matter of hours.

A MODERN POMPFU

The Church of Ablain
St. Nazaire. in the de-
partment of the Pas de
Calais was built in the
eighteenth century. near
the famous labyrinth
known as Notre Dame
de Lorette. Here in the
early days of the war
the then little British
army put up one Of the
biggest fights. The hill
of Notre Dame de Lor-
cite. near which this
church is built, has been
under bombardment
constantly, and the
church being located on
high ground is a good
target for German how
itzers. This particular
church has been strafed.
until now only some
Pompeian pillars are
to be seen. The depart
ment Of Pas de Calais is
situated in the extreme
northeast corner of the
French republic. close
to the Belgian lines.
German air raiders
maintain, a continuous
bombardment on this
ground whenever they
see that artillery has
not done much damage.
