DRAFT BOARD WINDING
Up GREAT Big TASK
Mason County Exemption Board
Makes Complete Reports of Their
Work and Holds Historic
Records.

The Mason County Exemption
despite the fact that the armistice has
been signed and rehabilitation is in
progress over the nation has been
one of the busiest bodies of men in
Mason county for the past several
weeks.
Besides totaling and winding up
their work of several months, they
have been called on by officials to
make out complete reports of their
work during the draft period and this
has certainly been a mans sized job
which has kept them busy at names
and figures for some time.
The board has now practically
completed this work but it does not
look like their period of work is over
yet for every few days it is announced
from Frankfort that the state depart
ment has some new task FOR the BX-
emption Board to perform. 1t has
been expressed as the opinion of high
military officials that the local draft
boards will not be mustered out until
after peace has been declared and the
drafted men have all been returned to
their homes.

BOB FUGATE PAROLED
FROM STATE PRISON
Man Sent to State Penitentiary For
From Five to Twenty-Five Years
Is Given Freedom by
Parole Board.

Among the number of paroles
granted yesterday by the Kentucky
Prison Commission was that of Rob
ert Fugate, of this county, who had
been serving a term of from FIVE to
twenty-five years in the institution.
Fugate had been a prisoner at Frank
fort for about six years.
1t will be remembered that the
crime of which he was convicted
caused considerable excitement in the
Eastern section of Mason county. The
formal charge against him was at
tempted assault and it was charged
that he made an attempt at criminal
assault upon a young girl of the
Springdale neighborhood.
Among the number of prisoners pa
rolled with Fugate was Jim John Able
of Lebanon, who had served ten years
of life term on a charge of murder.

WORLD RELIEF PLANS
To Be CARRIED OUT
Despite Interfearance Of Influenza
Exercises Intended for the Week
BE Carried out.

Louisville, December 14-Spanish
influenza played havoc with plans for
World Relief Week in Kentucky, but
will not be permitted to prevent the
carrying out of the week eventually,
according to announcement made by
the Food Administration yesterday.
The exercises intended for the week
eventually even if ninety days be be-
eventually, even If ninety days re re-
quired for the accomplishment.
Reports for the week, which was
observed all over the United States,
are not yet all in, but they give suf-
ficient data upon which to base the
statement that World Relief Week
was not fully observed in more than
a score Of Kentucky counties. In at
least 100 counties the food forces were
prevented either by law or good judg-
ment from arranging gatherings of
any kind
In most counties where meetings
weIe held, attendance was not crafty
ing. Practically all speaking engage
ments in the State were cancelled.
Federal Food Administrator Fred M.
Sackett, State Conservation Chair
man Mrs. Morris Clifford and State Di-
rector T. R. Moss filled only one
speaking engagement each, although
they we're scheduled for a solid weeks
campaigning.
Plans for the week had been made
by Mrs. Clifford, Miss Alexine Booth,
head of the Schools and College Sec
ton, and Fred w. Hardwick, chair
man of the Religious and Fraternal
Department. These three have in
structed their forces to keep on at
work until World Relief Week is OBJ
served in every county in the State
irrespective of the time.

EXTENDS
HEARTY WELCOME
To Pres. WILSON
Guns of Forts Tell Of Arrival of Train
French Capital Filled With
Civilians and Soldiers.

Paris, December 14-At 10 o'clock
this morning the booming guns of Ft.
Mont Valerian, on the outskirts of
Paris, announced that President Will
sons train was traversing the SUI
burbs AS the roar of the first gun
reverberated across the city the thun-
dering of cannon continued at one
minute intervals until salute of 101
guns had been completed.
The weather was fine, and as the
Presidential train rolled into the Bois
Bolulogne station a flock of airplanes
hovered in the sky, adding their
thrills to the memorable demonstra-
ton. A vast crowd had gathered in
the streets leading to the railway sta
tion long before the hour due for the
train to arrive, and as the train slowly
steamed into its stopping place bill
lows of cheers ran up and down the
thoroughfares. The whole city was
decked out with flags and it seemed
that almost every person in the
throng wore the Stars and Stripes.
The locomotive which had pulled
the Presidential train from Brest was
decorated with American and French
colors. The engineer was a French
soldier-demobilized engine driver be-
fore the war, and he wore the hori-
zon blue of a poilu. In the lapel Of
his blouse was a small button bearing
the United States flag
A distinguished throng greeted the
Presidential party at the station. In
cluded in this party were president
Poincare, Premier Clemenceau and q
distinguished galaxy of administra-
| tors, ministers and army and navy of
| ficers. President Poincare and num-
erous others were accompanied by
their wives. A single piece Of red
plush carpet had been stretched from
the station platform upstairs through
the main waiting room and across the
pavement to the spot where the car
riage' awaited.
The laundering cheers of the crowd
in the, street outside echoed and bill
! lowed about the station. The plaza
! was jammed with people, who waved
flags and handkerchiefs and mingled
their shouts with cries of Long live
President Wilson" and Welcome to
the messenger of peace"
The fashionable restaurants had
opened earlier than usual to accom-
modate the throng, but many persons
had carried bread jam and wine to
the station with them, and as they
| stood in line waiting for the train they
munched at their breakfast and spe-
culated upon the weather and time
that the train would get in.
The entire course leading from the
station was lined on both sides with
French soldiers and khaki clad CO.
lonials from the army of General
| Gouraud. AS President and Mrs. Will
son and the distinguished party that
accompanied them left the station the
soldiers stood at attention.

WOUNDED YANKS
PASS HERE ON Way
To HOSPITALS
Ten Car Loads Of Wounded American
Soldiers Returning From France
Pass West on Special
G. & o. Train.

Shortly after noon today a special
train over the G. G. o. carrying ten
car loads of wounded American SOL
diers passed through Maysville en-
route from the coast where the men
had recently arrived from France, to
army hospitals where they will re-
ceive more medical attention. Accom-
panying the men was a guard of SOL
diers and a number of army physi-
clans and nurses.
At the local depot there were sever
al people gathered to meet the train
which was thought to be an ordinary
troop train until 1t arrived. Aboard the
train were heroes of many battles,
some with arms missing, others with
legs missing and still another car of
those whose eyes were starring into
space apparently knowing nothing
about what was going on. These lat
ter were suffering from shell shock
The destination of the wounded was
not announced here but those who
happened to be at the depot and saw
the heroes who had given so much
for us, who remained at home, and
saw the treatment of the great Amer
ican Red Cross will be among the first
to join when the roll is called Monday
Had all of our Mason county citizens
been where they could have seen that
train of wounded there would have
been no trouble about securing a uni
yerSal membership.
