WINTER COAL WILL Be
RATIONED HOUSEHOLDS
Only Enough Fuel For Comfort TO BE
Allowed In Order to Prevent
Threatened Shortage Next
Winter.

Washington, July 7-Rationing of
coal to householders was announced
tonight by the Fuel Administration as
among plans designed to prevent a
threatened shortage of coal next win
ter.
Each domestic consumer will be al.
| lowed only as much coal as is found
to be absolutely necessary to heat his
house to 6S degrees, provided every
| conservation rule has been obeyed
The allowance for each householder
the announcement said, will be suf-
icient for comfort, but the thought
less and wasteful consumer who finds
his allowance gone before the end of
the winter, will have only himself to
| thank if he has no fuel with which to
heat his home" The Administration
plan involves a department of coal
allotments in connection with each To-
cal Fuel Administrators office and
this system now has been completed
and will be put into operation at once.
Each order for coal will be censored
by comparison with the rating of the
house where the coal is to be used.
All doubtful fuel cases will be care
fully checked up by inspecting the
house in question and surplus coal
when ordered will be refused.
All consumers who have obtained a
quantity of coal in excess of their al
lotments or who by deceit or misrep-
resentation have violated any rules of
regulations of the Fuel Administra-
tion will be prosecuted.

RESUMPTION OF
GERMAN DRIVE
THOUGHT NEAR
Events Bear Out Belief That Germans
Are About TO Hurl Forces Against
Allied Lines - Americans
Rendy TO Resist Enemy.

With the American Army in France.
July 7-Resumption of the German
offensive against some part of the AL
lied line is believed to he near. For
obvious reason II is impossible 70 90
into the subject deeply, but it may be
said that other reasons appear to bear
out the statement that the Germans
are again about to attack, besides the
fact that the usual resting periods be-
tween attacks will have been conclud-
ed for all the enemy troops within the
near future.
1t may be said that there are three
logical points for the enemy's attack
the Chateau Thierry region. the line
north of Chalons and in the neigh
borhood of Abbeville, would be less
costly for him, but in the former he
would get less important territory
than before Abbeville, where his loss
would be heavier
From the best information obtain
able it appears that the Germans dur
ing the coming offensive, will have
| between thirty and forty divisions ca
pablo of participating in the attack.
The American forces are TONIGHT
resting on their arms. awaiting thT
enemy offensive, and if it happens
that the enemy starts against the no.
sitions held by the Americans. which
seems rather likely, the American
troops will give good account of
themselves.
While there have been local en-
counters of more or less local import
ance along the battle line in France,
there has been little activity of signi-
ficance In its bearing on the general
tense situation from the North Sea to
Switzerland.
On the British front east of Amiens.
Australian detachments. with which
American troops are brigaded. have
pushed further east from the little
village of Hamel s,nth of the. Somme
river. The Australians carried their
line forward over front of almost
four miles at that poilt last Thursday.
In their last assault they have surged
ahead at the center of the new front.
which they created last week. The
operation was successful, in that OBJ
jectives were reached and the posi-
tions taken are being held by the men

Three AUSTIN BOYS

Local Relatives are Proud Of the Sons
Of Mr.. Charles Austin, of Cincin-

Their Nation IN Europe.

The following from the Cincinnati
Post refers to the sons of Mr.. Charles
Austin, of Cincinnati, who are ne
phews of Mrs. Fannie Carver of Com
merce street and Mr.. William Outten
of Second and Limestone streets:
The foreign mail to and from the
home at 6606 East Ledge street, Madi-
sonville, is quite extensive.
Letters are received there from
France and from Italy. No less than
three sons from that house are over
there, as follows:
No. 1. Walter S Austin is in the
marines and has just written to his
mother that he was gassed in the
battle at Chateau-Thierry.
ut feels good to sleep between
white sheets and upon a spring bed,
he writes from the hospital. "The
Germans were raising cain, but the
marines are holding them along our
sector"
No. 2. Charles Austin is with the
American engineers in Italy.
No. 8. William Austin is in the
American army, but attached to thS
British eXpeditionary forces in
France
"I'll admit there are some places
better than this" he writes. "but
I'll smile and stick until it's over and
won. 1t is grand feeling when a
fellow knows that the folk are he
hind him in everything; that they
freely contribute to the Y. NJ. C. A.
and the Red Cross and buy bonds
without a murmur."

SOLDIERS STOP OFF
FOR SHORT VISIT HERE
Four Hundred Soldiers Spend u Short
Time In MaysVillc Yesterday
Morning TO Rest From
Long Trip.

Four hundred soldiers passing
through the city to the east stopped
off here yesterday morning for about
an hour to take their regular morn
through the streets. The men alight-
ed from the train at the depot and
there went through their physical ex-
ercises. They then marched to SUIT
ton street and then over Sutton to
Front and over Front to Market
street where they again took the
train.
The short visit of the soldiers was a
great treat to the few people who
were down town so early on Sunday
morning and it is to be hoped that
this stunt will be frequently repeat
ed here.
A short time ago Mayor Thomas NJ.
Russell wrote to Secretary Baker ask
ing that the soldiers passing through
Maysville be allowed to alight from
the train at the depot and march
through the streets to Carmel street
again taking the train there. The
mayor pointed out that Maysville
seldom got to see soldier and that
the short march would be great rest
for the men. 1t is more than likely
that in the future Maysville people
will thus be able to see many COM
panies of soldiers for just now there
are many troop trains passing
through this city.

TWO DAYLIGHT
ROBBERIES ARE
PULLED SUNDAY
Klipp & Baucr's Store and Wells
Restaurant We're Robbed Yester-
day-POlice Have Clews In
dicating That Small Boys
Are Responsible
For One


Two very bold daylight robberies
were reported to the police Sunday
and the officers are now on the trail
of the robbers at both places having
clews that will in all probabilities
lead to the early arrest of the thieves
who are thought to be small boys.
The store of ,Klipp & Bauer in West
Second street was entered Sunday
I morning and all of the money in the
cash drawer-about two or three dol
lars was taken. Persons in the neigh
borhood say that about seven o'clock
Sunday morning they saw three small
boys upon the roof of the build
| ing but thought nothing of it and
made no report of it. Shortly after
ward a woman passing along the
street in front of the store saw the
| boys inside the building and one OF
the boys, who has now been identified
at the cash register. This lady re-
| ported the matter as soon as she could
to the owner of the store and the pO-
lice were then called but before they
could reach the building the lads had
made their escape and although the
| police were on their trail all day Sun
| day they were unable to locate and
arrest them. All of the boys are To-
cal boys however and they will be
eventually taken into custody.
Fred Wells restaurant on Market
street was also robbed late Sunday
| afternoon but this robbery does not
bear the marks of juveniles. The po-
! lice are of the opinion that they have
was done by grown-ups and they have
also picked up a good clew to this
J robbery which will likely lead to an
arrest sometime today
To gain an entrance to the Wells
restaurant a large staple locking
the iron gate between the building
formerly occupied by the Kroger
grocery store and the building now
occupied by the Maysville Tea and
Coffee Company was pulled. The thief
or thieves then entered the small pas
! sage way and walked to the rear of
| the restaurant They then cut the
screen on a back window and gained
their entrance to the building. Leav-
ing the building they unlocked the
kitchen door from the inside
Although the cash register sits in
front of the room near the Market
street window, it was opened and be-
tween twelve and fifteen dollars stol-
en-. Besides the money several cigars
were also taken.
On Saturday night Jake Caproni
whose building adjoins that occupied
by the Wells Restaurant. saw
stranger walking on the roof of the
Wells building. He asked him what
he wanted there and the stranger
replied that he was looking for an
empty bottle. The matter was not
reported to the police until after the
Wells robbery but it is thought by
the police to have some bearing on
the stealing.
There seems to be wave of small
but bold robberies sweeping over the
city and the officials are of the opin-
ion that the most of it is chargable
to a band of boys who will likely be
rounded up and given a thorough ex-
animation in Juvenile Court

MAYSVILLE HAS GOOD STREET
CAR SERVICE

Among the many many things
complimented by the Chautauqua peo-
pie was our splendid street car SER
vice. During the Chautauqua the
street car company certainly did their
best to care for the large number OF
people using their cars and the
crowd was handled nicely and without
the least bit of friction. There are
very few cities in the whole country
that can boast of such a street car
service as the city of Maysville now
has.

MELONS COMING nOMN

Housewives noticed that on Satur-

considerably in Maysville and those
melons which have been selling for
fifteen cents each were offered for ten
cents. The time for home grown mel
ons will soon be here and indications
are that there will be very good
crop and prices will be very reason
able.

CHEAP BUT NOT DESIRABLE
Excellent Reason Why chinamen Arc Averse to Calling in the Aid
 of a Physician.

The cost of a doctors visit in China ranges from five to ten cents. One would think that, inasmuch as they are so cheap, nobody would be without doctors visits in China, but as a fact, the Chinese get along with as few of them as possible. The reason is said to be that the Mongolian doctors use such abominahle medicines. Extracts of all sorts of creeping things enter into the Chinese drug list and people are averse to taking them, except in ease of extreme necessity.
 It is possible that doctors have pur- posely provided themselves with these offensive remedies as a means of self protection. It would be very wearing to be a popular physician at five cents visit; he might run his legs off and get no sleep. He accordingly mal es himself unpopular through the me- dium of medicines decocted of beetles and grasshoppers and such things. He prefers simple poverty to poverty complicated with running about.

BECAUSE SHE KNOWS
By AMELIA JOSEPHINE BURR
 of the NioiIanteS

She Is fragile little elderly gentle woman, a teacher by profession, an Alsatian by birth. During the sum- mer holidays of 1914 she left her home in Strasburg, and came over to visit her brother, in a suburb of New York. She has been here ever since, too proud to be a tax upon her brothers slender means, and maintaining her self by French lessons here and there, governessing, helping mothers, and other work to which she has never been accustomed but which she does with the true spirit of France. I have heard-yes, and felt-complaints trickle out and then dry up entirely at the sight of that gallant little fig ure blowing indomitably through the snow. Her earnings, it hardly need be said, are not large, yet she has Z bought Liberty bond of each issue, and is resolved to keep on as long as the war does.
Cleveland County herald., 1918-04-25

For the occasions that require her to dress-up a bit there are pretty frocks of crepe georgette and voile that will make the little girl look her best this summer. From her eighth to her fourteenth or fifteenth year she is apt to be very slim, long limbed little person with a good many angles that are prominent and need to be well considered when it comes to choosing her clothes. Since there are designers who specialize in clothes for children the needs of the thin lit tie girl and the needs of the fat little girl have been given expert attention and the problems of distraught mothers solved for them.
 Here is a dress of fine voile shown on a slim little girl of eleven that will bear study. Ii is in two pieces a skirt and a long blouse, thereby dis posing once for all of that bugbear in children's elothes-the waistline-by leaving it out of the reckoning. The skirt is suspended from a short under bodice,s gathered on to it and fasten- ed in the back. It Is moderately full and has a two-inch tuck above the
Cleveland County herald., 1918-04-25

three-inch hem. These give it little weight and flare at the bottom where it is precisely even in length and reaches to the knees.
 It is the blouse that reveals the cleverness of it's designer. Its body hangs from @ very short yoke, gath cred quite full over the shoulders. The body of the blouse is smocked in three rows of shocking where it joins the shirred yoke. It is usual this sea son to use one or more colored silks in doing the shocking on white frocks and these little bits of color are very childish and pretty on dresses for all little girls. There are two pockets at the bottom of the blouse with smock- ing across the top and buttons that re peat the color used in the shocking. They are set on purely as a finish for the blouse fastens with snap fasteners. The collar which is of wash satin is like them in color and the sleeves are plain-three-quarte length.
