With the British Army in France,
April 14-This morning found the
British holding firmly Ba!lleul-Mer-
vile sector after night Of most in
tense fighting during which numerous
heavy enemy attacks were repulsed
and the invaders were driven from
Robecq by a counter stroke.
The Germans today were continu-
ing to drive in masses against the de-
Tending positions which black their
way to Hazebrouck, with its railway
lines but at the latest reports the
British lines had not wavered in the
face of the terrific onslaughts by su-
perior numbers.
While no one could predict the out
come of the fierce battle now raging,
the British position this morning
seemed more firm and settled than at
any period since the Germans began
their onslaught west of Armentirese

An excellent lecture was delivered
by Rev. w. R. Warreii Of Indianapolis

ing the people of America to the
emergencies of today. He went on 10
say that since the war the world had
been turned upside down and people
were responding to calls and doing
things that few months ago would
have been impossible to conceive Of.
He asked the people of Maysville to
awake to the crying need of the time
and to respond to the war relief work
and to support the Liberty Loan to
their last penny

FULL PLEDGED SOLDIER
Former Maysyille Boy Now Doing
Duty ut a Southern CantOnment
And Only Fourteen Years Old.

Inspired by that patriotism that was
inherited from his grandfather four
teen-year-old lad who was born and
reared in this city is now one of the
thousands of soldiers learning the
game at southern cantonment.
He is Roy Mason, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Charles Mason and grandson of
Mr.. NJ c. Chisholm
Some time ago this lad saw the
soldiers on parade from Ft. Thomas,
and il there is anything that will fill
boy with enthusiasm it is the sight
of the boys in Khaki. Roy being a
large boy for his age decided that his
calling in life was to be one of these
soldier boys, and he enlisted In the
service. His father upon learning of
it succeeded in getting him out and
back home; but Roy was not satisfied
and several weeks ago he again en-
listed and was sent to Southern can
tonment to be put through the ne
cessary training before being eligible
to seat in the front line trenches
bordering No Mans Land in France
Not finding things as nice as they
seemed to him when he just saw the
big parade Roy wrote to his father
that he would like to get out, but
when he opened the letter in answer
to his he found that his father had
decided to allow him stay and have
his desires te-'sysome a soldier full
filed
Roy is perhaps the youngest SOL
dier in years in the service of Uncle
Sam, but being husky lad and COM
ing from that old fighting stock that
developed during the Civil War, he
will no doubt make one OF the best
of soldiers
Another brother, William Mason, is
also In the service, being at north
ern cantonment, and who will say
that Charley Mason has not done his
part toward his government?

ENORMOUS LOSS
Claims Paid BY G. & o. For Two
Months on Account of Loss and
Damage Of Freight In Transit
Amounts TO $4,000.

During the months of January and
February the C. & o. Ry. paid claims
amounting to $4,000, on account Of
loss and damage by theft and other
wise.
A section for the Protection of Rail-
road property and property of ship
pers In transit has been established
in the Division of Law by the Direc-
tor General to enforce vigorously the
Federal Law against theft from cars,
stations, sidings and wharves and to
make all necessary measures in CO.
operation with carriers to prevent
loss from this cause, which in past
years hos been enormous. Any one
having knowledge of any such offense
should report the same to the nearest
railroad agent, or to Philip ]. Doherty,
Manager, Washington, D. c., in order
that indictments can be secured; the
penalty is ten years imprison. ent.
Every dollar thus saved means y.
dollar for Uncle Sam towards defeat
ing the Kaiser
AS thieves in this vicinity have been
active lately there is every indication
that the government will get some of
them and sure prosecution to the lin
it will result. This is especially true
or local beavers and they had better
quit this wholesale practice while
the quitting is good

HE greatest shipping organization III the
world-greatest in resources, in the number
of vessels operated and the actual operations Of
its feet is now under control of the army transport
service The actual work of placing the newly ere
ated United States Army in the field had begun
last year but no adequate system of handling that
work had then been evolved. Troops were being
taken overseas, but in what might almost be called
heller SHELTER fashion Ships were being put in
service as rapidly as possible under the circum-
stances, differed and manned we'll might be
and sent abroad under naval conveys at frequent
but uncertain intervals.
The enormous business in operation but it
had not yet been coordinated, wherefore there
more or less confusion and the sadly needed eff
cheney of the service had not yet been attained.
Chaos existed where the most perfect order was
required.
Never in the world history had it been neces-
sary to assemble, train, arm and equip an indefinite
number of millions of men and send them across
1900 miles of ocean to take part in war The
crossing of the Alps by Napoleon was Boy Scout
manGuvre in comparison
The men were eager to Co. The Government was
eager to send them as fast as they could be made
ready, but how were they to be senti
Astonishing Showing With Shipping.
Ships and more ships were needed, and the Ship
ping Board began building them, with what aston
ishing results the whole world knows. Vast num-
bers of tugs and lighters required for sub
sidiary service but doubtless they will come later.
Crews were needed, and here was much harder
task, an even greater problem. 1t is not yet solved
nor is it easy to foresee just how it will be. Amer
lean sailors are scarce. 1t has been found harder
to train man to be a sailor than to be soldier.
But the men are going over, are being moved as
troops were never moved before. When Secretary
Baker announced that 100000 men were in France
practically all of this number had been transport
ed, together with their full equipment They are
going over faster now. Exact figures may not be
printed but nearly a quarter of million were
taken across in June, and each succeeding month is
showing larger results
There is a vague impression in the public mind
that the navy is taking them over. The navy is
not 1t is not even bossing the job or paying the
bills. Those things are being done by the army
transport service, which is part of the army. And
the army transport service has built up and is oper

that many to take over a quarter of million men
a month.
These ships are of many kinds. Reaching out in
all directions, the United States embarkation ser
vice has secured vessels from almost everywhere.
England, France, Italy, Holland, Japan and even
Germany have all furnished their quotas, for the
great German liners that were seized by our Gov
eminent are of no small service
Tramp steamships of all nationalities have been
commandeered. Still writing in general terms it
may be said that whenever an available vessel for
the purpose was found Uncle Sam stretched out his
mighty hand and took it. Then the army trans
port service put it in apple pie order and set it at
work. No small part of the work has been this de-
tail of refttng rebuilding refurnishing and adapt
ing such vessels as were not originally intended
for the service required and all this has been done
quietly efficiently and without advertising by the
army transport service.
Perhaps the most important accomplishment was
the grouping of the great carrying lines already in
existence under a single head
Great Passenger Lines Invaluable.
These carrying lines, built up by private enter
prise before the war, had fleets of their own well
adapted to the new work which Uncle Sam had in
hand The great volume of ocean travel in times
of peace had made it a commercial necessity that
there should be many ships in this service, well
equipped and adequately manned 1t was inevi-
table that they would be- in way another, re-
quired to do a large part of the new governmental
work
The direct, old fashioned way in which this
might have been accomplished would have been for
the Government to commander the vessels together
with their crews, somewhat as the railroads of the
country have been taken over. And this was what
the owners and managers of these carrying lines
greatly feared would be done.
They dreaded the results of Government inter-
ference with their business not from any lack of
patriotism but because it was difficult to foresee
what the effect would be ON the vested interests
which they had in charge. A serious disarrange-
ment of their whole system of business the
least evil that seemed possible.
A simple plan was determined on 1t was for
these owners and managers to appoint one of their
own number for each port who should supervise
and direct all shipping from that port, under gov
ernmental control, but without any unnecessary
interference in details of operation.
This plan is now in full swing. The title
