GERMANS Being
DRIVEN BACK ON
2O-MILE FRONT
Allies Smashing Their Way Steadily
Through Enemy's Lines-ROulers,
Great Military Center, Taken
by the French Army.

With the British Army on the
Flanders Front, October 15 7 The
whole Flanders battlefront is ahame
with battle and the Germans are re-
treating over zone of 20 miles, burn
ing villages and exploding stores of
ammunition as they fall back.
One of the most gigantic "crash"
bombardments of the war accompan-
led the great assault of British,
French and Belgians, with thousands
of great guns roaring. The German
batteries along the North sea coast
were completely silenced by the hur-
ricane of steel rained upon them from
Allied cannon on land and the guns
on British warships.
The losses throughout the whole
fighting have been extremely heavy.
Thousands of prisoners were taken
despite the fact that some of the best
divisions of the kaiser's army were in
this front.

THREE THOUSAND
SUBSCRIBERS TO
4th LIBERTY LOAN
In Mason County Up to Date-RepOrt
Shows Some Failed to Respond.

AT meeting of the Mason County
Liberty Loan Committee held Monday
afternoon the reports of the various
precinct organizations we're tabulated
1t was found that in the county ap.
proximately three thousand persons
had purchased bonds and in amounts
entirely satisfactory to the Commit
tee it was also found that in the can
vas 40 persons had either not pur-
chased or did so in amounts entirely
short of their ability to pay. The Loan
Committee has decided to place these
names in the hands of Council of Ma
tional Defense to ascertain why the
bond issue is not receiving their sup
port. In the event a satisfactory ex-
PLANTATION is not made they will be
given the publicity they deserve.

ROADS END
. REACHED by
AMOS TURNEY
Famous Turfman Found Dead In a
Field Near His Home In Bourbon
County - Married Mason
County Woman.

Amos Turney, Sr., one of the firm
of Turney Bros, prominent for many
years in the running horse world, was
found dead in field near his home
in Bourbon county Sunday morning,
having succumbed to an attack of
heart trouble. He is survived by
brother, Jesse Turney. and two daugh-
ters, Mrs. E. C. Arnold, of Cincinnati,
and Mrs. Louis W. Taylor, of Paris;
also by his widow, who was former
ly Miss Lizzie Manning, Of Mason
county.
For a period of 20 years the string
of runners of the Turney Bros. were
among the most successful on the
American and Canadian tracks. Their
number comprised such racing won
ders as Kleburne, Walter Bass, Flab-
bergast, Martin Doyle, Theo Cook,
Clell Turney, Horror. Tillo DR.. Cat
lett, Elma, DR.. Eichberg, Brilliance
and many others. Tillo was the win
ner of the Suburban Handicap at
Sheepshead Bay.
Horror, probably the best horse of
the entire stable, won the Tronto Cup
at four years old, and Water Pass, an
other good animal, also won it at
three years old. Elma, another big
winner, was value by them at $500
as yearling. DIR. Eichberg was sold
to the late Charles Fleischmann, of
Cincinnati. for $4,000.
When two sons of Jesse Turney, the
other member of the firm of Turney
Bros, were i'll with typhoid fever, DR..
Eichberg, of Cincinnati. who lost his
life few years ago in the Adiron-
dacks by drowning, was called to at
| tend them. They both recovered, and
as mark of his appreciation Jesse
Turney named what was then their
most promising yearling after the
doctor. The horse by his future per-
formances proved veritable wonder
of the turf.
About the only thing occurring dur
ing their years of brilliant successes
on the turf wsfcENtaused them regret
was their failure to buy from John
Madden the. youngster Old Rosebud.
which was offered them for $500. At
three years old this animal was val
ued at 100000 by his owner, H. C. Ap-
plegate. and won for him Is races,
aggregating 100000.
Although the firm of Turney Bros.
retired from the turf about two years
ago and disposed of their entire sta
Bile, Mr.. Turney until the day of his
death was intensely interested in
events of the racing world He was
of a jovial and kind disposition and
many a jockey and stable boy has
good reason to remember him through
his acts OF kindness. For a period of
two years during the latter part of
their activities on the turf Jockey
Nash Turner was under contract to
the Turney Bros. and was instrument
tai in keeping their string prominently
before the racing public. Recently
Will Martin, who for a number of
years was their trainer, sold Sunny
Slope for 100000.

Roulers Fallen, Germans Retreat

Paris, October 15-Roulers has been
taken by the Allies. This city, which
before the war numbered. $4,000 in
habitants, is the first important Bel
gian town from which the Germans
have been driven.
The enemy has begun blowing up
material which he could not remove
and the torch is being applied to the
towns that are being abandoned by
the Germans.
1t was on the anniversary of the
battle of Jena, in which the French
defeated the Prussians, October Ia,
1906, that the Allies attacked the foe
in Flanders. King Albert of Belgium
was in personal command of COM
bined armies of British, Belgians and
French. The battle began at 5:35
O'Clock. There was no artillery prep
aration, but the troops advanced un-
der cover of creeping curtain of fire
of extreme power. They progressed
methodically in most satisfactory
way. Machine gun nests were forced
to surrender one after another, and
at 6 o'clock last night the advanced
amounted to four miles in the direc-
tion of Courtrai
To the French, in the center of the
line, fell the honor of capturing the
city of Roulers and the plateau COW
ering it. Nearly 10000 prisoners have
already been counted, including a
regimental staff and battalion COM
mander, and large amount of ma
terial and many guns have been taken,
including two batteries, with the
horses attached to the guns. This
shows that the methodical withdrawal
of the Germans, of which they will
not fail to speak in reporting the bat
tie, could not be accomplished.

DON'T STOP!
CARRY ON /!
COME ACROSS!
Appeal Issued by the Liberty Loan
Committee Of This District to
Chairman James N. KehOe.

Chairman James n. Kehoe of the
Mason County Liberty Loan Commit
tee yesterday received the following
telegram from d. c. Willis, Chairman
of the District Liberty Loan Commit
tee at Cleveland, Ohio, and every
means should be put forward by the
citizens of Maysville, Mason county,
and the State of Kentucky to carry
out it appeal:
Liberty Loan Committee,
Cleveland, Ohio
]. N. Kehoe, Chairman,
Maysville, KY, Mason County.
Unbelievable as ii is. we have been
asked today from many quarters in
the district whether the Loan Cam
paign should continue in view of the
development of Germany's so-called
acceptance of peaee. This astound-
ing condition brings us face to face
with the evil purpose of our enemies
to dupe our people and destroy the
Loans success. If the Fourth Liberty
Loan falls short Germany will have
won her greatest, victory of the war.
The hour has struck in at which all
real PATRIOTS in every community
must rise in their might and hurl in
the Kaisers face this answer, Give
everything we have if need be for VIC
tory" Liberty Loan Committees bear
the great responsibility of the hour
and must provide the great leadership
of the hour. In the name of All that
is sacred to Liberty let us give the
Hun an answer that will bring him to
his knees. That answer is a convinc-
ing over subscription to the Fourth
Loan. Let's go and get it.
d. c. Willis, Chairman.
