CITY'S STREETS were
THOROUGHLY CLEANED =
Mayor Russell Had the Street Clean
Ing Department Out Yesterday
Washing the Streets.

Under the personal supervision of
Mayor Thomas NJ Russell, Street
Commissioner Ben T. Smith and Chief
of Police Harry A. Ort the work of
fumigating the sewers all over this
city was carried out in a very COM
plete manner yesterday.
Early in the day the street clean
ing department began the work of
pouring the disinfectant in all open
ings Of sewers on the streets in the
downtown districts, continuing their
work on up through the Fifth and
Sixth Wards until they had thorough
ly made every place free of the foul
and filthy odors that have been eman-
ating from them for several days.
After this work was accomplished
Col. Andy Reed of the Fire Depart
ment and Street Commissioner Ben T.
Smith, with Messrs. Henry Glenn and
John Stoker, gave all the paved
streets a good washing off, which
made every one feel that the work had
accomplished the good it was intend
ed in washing any lurking germs of
disease into strong disinfectants in
the sewers and getting rid of them.
1t is the intention of Mayor Russell
and the present city administration to
make and keep this city as clean as it
the citizens are asked to cooperate
with the officials and refrain from
throwing waste paper and other mat
ter onto the streets, in order that the
work of keeping them clean can be
better accomplished.

soldiers this winter will either be
compelled to sleep on the ground or
erect their own barracks. In France
they dig their own trenches, and they
will soon be digging them in Ger
many, but 1t would be to our shame If
they would be compelled to erect their
own barracks. Every man in Mason
county, especially those who have
been given deferred classification and
who is not doing war work, or any
work that is helping to win the war,
should call on Judge Purnell at once
and offer his services. When the Ma
SOM county boys return from this gi-
gantic struggle some of them with an
arm off,a limb off, an eye out, or both
arms off, limbs off or eyes out, won't

patriotic enough to want to fight why
were you not patriotic enough to help

President Wilson issued a proclama-
tion on June 18th, 1918, appealing to
the country to get into war work, so

your strength.

HUNS Begin A
new RETREAT ON
A WIDE FRONT
Stubborn Resistance Overcome Be-
tween 0ise and Alsne--Debeney
Checks Foe - First Army
Swings on Right Flank,
Repulsing Counter
Attacks.

Paris, October 2S-Germany's arm
time between the Disc and the Aisne.
General Debeney's first army, in the
teeth of stubborn resistance and re-
peated counter attacks, has succeed
ed in swinging on its right flank so
that it faces east. 1t has reached
Guise and the Guise Marie road, driv-
ing the enemy before it.
General Debeney now is in position
to push rapidly along the upper Disc
Valley toward Hirson and Vervins,
through a level country, devoid of
streams.
The first result of his progress is
to force the enemy opposing the Tenth
and Fifth French armies, exhausted
by fruitless counter attacks, to begin
a backward movement, which is even
tually bound to extend to the front
before Rethel. This will open to the
Fourth army a double passage of
the Aisne and Ardennes canal.
General Debeney's success was won
by sheer hard fighting. The import
ance the enemy attached to stopping
this progress up the Disc may be
gathered from the fact that the Ger
mans yesterday threw in three fresh
divisions, which, however, were re-
pulsed.

still going on, threats were made
that the church would be blown
up. This morning some one
went to the place, placed dyna-
mite under the buildings, set a
fuse to it and then left. A short
time later a terrific explosion
was heard and the church was
demolished.
1t is said that the pastor de-
clared some time ago that when
ever the services were not held
in German no one attended.
Sheriff Gumsett and his deputy
from Van Vert, O., traced an
automobile to Wiltshire, O., but
there the trace was lost. Pub
lie sentiment here seems to be
with the ones who did the dyna-
hitting and it is hardly likely
that much effort will be made
by authorities to run down the
guilty parties.-Decatur lind

Church Blown Up

OHIO BUILDING DESTROYED

The German Evangelical
Lutheran church at Schumm,
Ohio, eleven miles east of here,
was blown up and practically
destroyed by dynamite at 800
O'Clock this morning. The
guilty parties escaped in an au-
tomobile, and, although the
board of trustees of the church
has offered a reward of 5000
for information leading to the
apprehension of the dynamiters,
there seems to be little effort on
the part of authorities to make
much of an investigation.
According to the story as
reaching here, the church has
been holding services in German
and also teaching German in the
School. 1t is said that the pas
