MASON COUNTY MAN
REPORTED MISSING IN
ACTION IN FRANCE
John Reetz, Jr., Reported in Yester.
days Casualty List as Being Miss
ing In Action Young Man
Left Here In Draft.

Yesterdays army casualty list con-
tanned the name of John Reetz, Jr.,
who was listed as being missing in
action.
Young Reetz, who was about 25
years of age, was the son Of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Reetz, who live in the
Brodt neighborhood on the Fleming
pike just outside of the city limits.
He left Maysville with squad of Sc
lects early this spring and was hur-
ried overseas. His parents received a
telegram from the War Department
several days ago that he was missing
in action but he was not announced
on the casualty list until yesterday
Whether the young man is injured,
taken prisoner or has been lost from
his company is not disclosed in the
telegram to the parents or in the Of
fetal announcement from the War De-
partment.
The young man was very popular
| among those who knew him in this
section. He was clever and one of the
hardest working young men in the
county.
His father, who is one of the coun-
tvs best and most patriotic citizens,
was born in the German Empire and
left that country many years ago to
escape military oppression He knows
the German military clique and came
to America where he could escape it
and raise his family under a free DEM
ocratic government. He was glad
when his son marched forth under the
stars and stripes in defense of the
principles which he had learned to
love and appreciate possibly more
than the most of us.
The many friends of Mr.. ReetZ hope
that in short time the young man
will be reported by the government
safe and sound and able to carry on
in the cause of freedom and Demo-
cracy.

HUNS RETREAT TO
CANAL DU NORD TO
AVERT DISASTER
Staggering From Heavy Blow Of Brit
lsh, Germans Flee to Canal
Forces are DisOrganized.

With the British Army in France,
September 3-The British victory in
the battle of Drocourt-Queant line
seems complete. Without having de-
livered a single counter attack, and
staggering from the blows admins
tered to them yesterday, the Germans
during the night and early this morn
ing were in full fight for the eastern
side of the Canal Du Nord.
The enemy is trying to save what
men and material he can from the
wreck behind one of the most power
full defense systems ever devised.
The much boasted of Drocourt-
Queant line, or as the Germans call it,
"the Wotan line" stotally shatter-
ed. The British are driving far thru
it, and the Germans are hurrying
eastward, leaving behind only pockets
of machine guns, and even resistance
from these is gradually melting away,
Strong British forces are now fight
ing their way down the Hindenburg
line itself and are cleaning it up as
they go. Meanwhile a little south
from here, another force is driving on
the Hindenburg line frontally.
The Hun has tasted disaster in the
Drocourt line battle, and now his dis
organized and badly depleted forces
are working fast to prevent an even
greater catastrophe overtaking him.
The British are fast approaching
and are close to the Canal Du Nord
the territory behind which is even
now under heavy fire from many Brit
ish cannon.

INJUNCTION IN OIL
INSPECTOR SUIT
IS SUSTAINED
Circuit Judge Holds That County
Judge PurneIl Cannot Appoint OIL
Inspector to Succeed
It. j. Rice.t

After the petit inry had been dis
missed in Circuit Court yesterday af-
ternoon Judge c. d. Newell heard ar
guments in the injunction suit of T.
Stanton Gift in which Mr.. Rice who
is at present Oil Inspector of Mason
county sought an injunction against
Judge Purnell to prohibit him from
appointing anyone to succeed him as
Oil Inspector and against Mr.. Stanton
Cliff to enjoin him from qualifying as
Oil Inspector
The contention began two weeks
ago when Judge Purnell issued an or
der appointing Mr.. Gift to succeed
Mr.. Rice.
The contention made by attorneys
for Mr.. Rice were that he had not yet
served out his term as Oil Inspector
having been appointed just few days
before Judge Purnell took his seat as
County Judge and that the judge had
no right to appoint his successor
while he was in Office and before he
had resigned from Office or had been
removed
The contentious made by attorneys
representing Judge Purnell and Mr..
Gift we're that Judge Rice before re-
firing had no right to appoint an Of
ficer whose term would extend over
into Judge Purnell's term. The suit
was friendly and was brought in Or
der to settle this question which
seems to have been pending for sew
eral years.
Judge Newell sustained the injunc-
ton which means that Mr.. Cliff can
not qualify and that Judge Purnell
cannot appoint a successor to Mr.
Rice until his four year term expires
1t is understood the case will be
carried to the Court Appeals for a
decision there on the question.
There has been much interest taken
in the case and the decision of the
Court of Appeals will be watched
with much interest here.

BOLD ATTEMPT AT
HOUSE BREAKING
AT KEY HOME
WOuld-be Thief Enters Upon Front
Porch of w. HoItOn Keys Resi-
dence and Cuts Screen Win
dow But Is Frightened
AWAY,

Another very bold attempt at house
breaking was reported to the police
this morning about 1870 o'clock from
the residence of Mr.. w. Holton Key
in Forest avenue.
Mr.. Key was awakened shortly after
one o'clock by the sound of some sort
of grating. He went to the front of
the house and there with the light
from nearby electric street arc shin
ing plainly on him, he saw a man
standing on the front porch cutting
the screen window. Mr.. Key made a
noise which frightened the would-be
robber away He saw the man as he
ran, however. He was white and of
medium build but Mr. Key was un-
able to identify him.
An investigation of the window dis
closed that the man had cut out the
screen window near the latch and
had made an effort to turn the latch
so that the window could be opened
Officers Tolle and Bloomhuff were
detailed on the job by Sergeant Mack
ey but these officers were unable to
trail the man, who is said to have
run West on Forest avenue, nor to
pick up any clue to who he was.
These bold attempts at robbery are
coming quite frequent in the city and
Chief Ort and his men are going to
tighten up on strangers who look the
least bit suspicious. The police have
not given up this case and will do
their best to pick up some sort of clue
that will lead to an arrest.

probably will take no drastic steps in
