London, July Elbow an American
battery on the bank of the Marne
shelled tho Germans for seventy two
hours while under fire from enemy guns
is described by Reuters correspondent
at French headquarters.
A young lieutenant, after telephone
wires had been severed. maintained
communications between the battery
and the infantry. He had eight horses
shot from under him in making sixteen
trips. and on, the last journey was
wounded in the knee. The correspond
ent says:
Il spent yesterday (Sathrday) on the
bank of the Marne with the American
troops, They were the officers and men
Iof the battery of American 75s, which
had been in position on a bare exposed
plateau above the river about a thou
sand yards above the boche lines dur
ing the entire day. They were aroused
by terrific artillery preparation on the
part of the enemy on the night OF July
~.
American gattery Il Open.
'.The American battery was in the
open and Of the thirty enemy batteries
which had been identified in this sector,
five were concentrating their fire on the
American battery. All the men had to
turn out and open on the enemy with
out moments delay. They continued
to fire as hard as they could for seven
'ty-two hours.
THE Americans were under a heavy
shelling themselves during the whole
time buti they never relaxed their ef-
forts for moment. The whole
plateau is plowed up by German shells.
The Americans. who had never been in
a serious action before, lost both men
and horses but the battery was never
silenced.
''In the first hour Of the bombardment
every telephone wire in the sector, was
cut by German shells and the battery
was left without means of communica-
tion with the American infantry in the
river valley below, whom it had to sup
port.
Bravery Of Young Lieutenant.
"a young lieutenant volunteered to
restore the connection himself, taking
Ia horse he rode down to the river thru
the German barrage and back and dur
ing the night galloped sixteen times be-
tween the battery and the river. always
under terribly heavy fire. He had
eight horses hit under him and in the
last journey he himself was hit in the
knee.
* battery commander told me he
had the greatest difficulty with his
slightly wounded men. None Of them
wanted to leave the battlefield and the
men ordered to go away for treatment
would hide themselves in order to avoid
notice. hoping in this way to be allowed
to remain with their comrades.
"One gun, the crew Of which had
been knocked out by a single big shell,
was kept working by the telephone
men. who, realizing what had happened,
FLASHED out of their shelter. and began
to man the gun themselves"

the Tobacco Fair This Winter BY
the Way They Rent Booth
Space - Committee Has
Many Yet to See.

The special committee recently ap-
pointed by the Maysville Chamber of
Commerce to call on the business men
to see whether they wanted the Corn
and Tobacco Fair this year, were out
canvassing the business section this
morning and met with much success.
On all hands they heard nothing
but good things and loud boosts about
the big fair. Twenty-eight of the busi-
ness men who had booths at the fair
last year were visited and q of the 2S
rented booths again this year-only
one business man refusing. There are
yet several more to see but the COM
mittee feels very much encouraged
and feels certain that the fair this
year will be bigger and better than
ever.
AS soon as this committee calls on
all of the business men and makes it's
final report the fair will be definitely
decided upon and plans will go for
ward for one of the best displays ever
made here.

Die at Army CantOnment of Pneu-
mOnia-Ill But Only For
Few DAYS.

The ravages of Spanish influenza
have been brought closer to home in
the past few days. Two young men
we'll known here. One a Mason coun-
ty man and another a Bracken coun-
ty man died Thursday at Camp Zach
ary Taylor of pneumonia brought
about by Spanish influenza or grip.
Claude Pabst the first Mason coun-
ty man to die of this pneumonia, was
the son of Mr.. and Mrs. Adam Pabst,
of the Dover neighborhood, and was
one of the county's most industrious
and we'll liked young men. His body
will be brought home for burial.
Charles Teegarden, who also died
of pneumonia Thursday at Camp Tay-
lor, is a resident of Brooksville. Only
a few months ago he carried Miss
Jewel Lee Davis, of this city He has

EAGLES AGAIN BUY
LIBERTY BONDS
/Maysvllle Lodge Shows Its Patriotism
BY the Purchase Of Another Thou
sand Dollars Worth Of Bonds.

There has not been a more patriotic
organization in the city of Maysville
since the war with Germany and her
allies began than the local order of
Eagles. This organization has had
part in every war endeavor and has
done its full part to stand by the gov
ernment. 1t is more than likely that
there are more Mason county men in
khaki from this organization than
from any other organization in the
city.
At last nights meeting the order
voted to purchase a thousand dollars
worth of Liberty Bonds of the Fourth
loan in addition to the bonds of prev
ious loans which they still hold.
SO far as is known this is the first
fraternal organization in the city that
has invested any of it's funds in the
Fourth loan. The credit Will go to
the Third Ward in which the Eagles
home is, located and will help con-
siderably in swelling the total of that
ward

LARGE
BOND SUBSCRIBERS
REPORTED IN CITY
Mason County Liberty Bond Sales
men Are Pounding Away at Their
Jobs and the County Is Climb
Ing Up the Ladder to
Her Quota.

Liberty bond statesmen in every pre-
cinct in the city and county are keep
ing up the good work. Not a COM
mittee has yet laid down but they are
forging ahead and all are reporting
that they are meeting with much sue
cess. The county has begun to make
a larger showing and tomorrow the
county organization is expecting the
county precincts to make a big jump
toward their quotas
The city of Maysville teams are do
ing great work. The Fifth Ward is
reported "oveF the top" today. With a
quota of 100000, they have already
reported $4,000 and the committee
this afternoon said that the ward
would go beyond $4,000, before they
had finished their campaign Some Of
the wealthiest and most patriotic men
in that ward are yet TO be seen.
Several large purchases were re-
ported today. Mr.. and Mrs A. C.
Sphar, of the Fifth Ward purchased
$4,000 in bonds. The Sphar Pressed
Brick Company invested $4,000 which
will be credited to Dieterich precinct.
The Farmers and Planters Tobacco
Warehouse Company purchased $1O,-
900 worth of bonds today also. Half
of this will be credited to Dieterich
precinct and the other half to the
Sixth Ward as this company has prop
erty in both precincts.
Dieterich precinct is going to make
wonderful showing as so many of
the tobacco concerns which are max
ing large purchases must give that
precinct credit
The Sixth Ward has passed its
quota and is striving for high figure
and Washingtonu precinct went far
over its quota today. The quota for
Washington was 100000 and this af-
ternoon they report close to $4,000
pledged and s62,S $50 actually turned in

CORRECTION

Through an error of the Liberty
Loan Committee the names of Mr..
Louis Merz, DR. G. L. Howard and
Squire Fred Dresel we're omitted from
the list of Precinct Solicitators which
were recently published. This omis-
sion is greatly regretted as this team
raised over one-third of the total sub
scriptions of the Sixth Ward. The
Sixth Ward has now raised its quota
of 100000 and is continuing to take
subscriptions and will go "over the
top" with a big margin.
