ICE PRICES TO BE RAISED

The attention of our readers is call
ed to the statement of the Maysville
Ice and Cold Storage Co. in today's
Ledger, regarding the advance in the
price of ice, effective April l. The
Company owing to the tremendous in
crease in the cost of all materials
used in the manufacture of ice is
compelled to make slight advance.
The patrons of the Maysville Ice and
Cold Storage Company have, up to
this time been especially favored in
asmuch as the cost of ice here has
been much lower than the in other
cities of the state. The advance at
this time is a matter of absolute ne
cessity

NOTED ORATORS
To Address Maysyille and Mason
County Tomorrow Evening and
Will Give Some Stirring
War Messages.

A patriotic mass meeting Will be
held at the First Baptist Church to-
morrow evening under the auspices
Of the Mason County Woman's Coun<
Gil of Defense and the Chamber OF
Commerce, at which time the people
Of Maysvlle and Mason county will
have the opportunity of hearing two
very distinguished speakers. DR..
Lyman Abbott, editor Of the Outlook
and one of the most noted writers and
thinkers in America, and Dr. Ernest
Powell, who has just returned from
the fighting lines in France and Italy,
will be the speakers of the evening.
The speakers will be here in the
interest of the League to Enforce
Peace. The people of the county will
have the assurance that they will lis
ten to two splendid addresses, as no
men of greater oratorical powers will
ever visit this community. They are
men who know their subjects thor
oughly, and know how to present
them in a most convincing and easily
understood way.
DR.. Powell who has been on the
firing lines in the beleagured coun-
tries of Europe for several months,
wwill' tell you Of the shameful deeds
of the Huns, who murdered innocent
women, children and old men and
laughed at their death agonies. He
will tell of their shameful crimes
against the young women of France
and the autrocities of the Germans
among their own women since the
war began, in which secondary mar

TWO VILLAGES
ARE RECLAIMED
BY English In Swift Counter Blows ut
HunS-Great Force Of German
Offensive Believed Spent.

London, March 27-Tonight's news
from the battle front confirms the
hopeful impression formed early in
the day that the British now appear
to be on a line they are able to hold
firmly, at least on the Somme and the
Ancre rivers.
Further south in the Roye-Noyon
region, the situation is less well de-
fined( but it stated that both the
French and British are bringing up
reserves there. The correspondents
also are showing greater confidence
that the enemy will be held on this
terrain.
The German official communication
of tonight was significantly brief and
reserved. 1t reports the crossing of
the Ancre, but only refers to Tues
days events while the British war Of
fee statement shows that the Ger
mans who had crossed that stream
were thrown back today in counter
attacks.
The infantry fighting along the ma
jor portion of the British front in the
new battle zone showed a marked
slowing down this morning, indicat-
ing that the first phase of the Ger
man offensive here has been finished
From the southern sector however,
came word that the Germans were
still pressing the attack with great
fury against the unwavering defense
The enemy has paused in the north
ern sector, probably to reorganize
and bring forward much-needed artil-
lery before beginning the second
round against the stiffening opposi-
ton of the British.
Hard local battles were still in
progress but the first fury of the Ger
man onslaught had spent itself. Sew
eral attacks which the Germans last
night which were essayed were
smashed and at Sailly-le-Sec, where
the Germans last night gained foot
ing, the British this morning deliv-
cred smashing counter attack
which pushed the invaders back.
The British delivered a counter at
tack today between the angle of the
Ancre and the Somme and recaptured
Morlancourt and Chipilly, the war Of
flee announced this evening.
The French have been heavily en-
gagged west Of Roye and were forced
to give ground, the announcement
states. Reinforcements for them are
arriving.
An enemy attack in the neighbor-
hood of Bucquoy has so far made no
impression upon the British lines. A
number of other heavy attacks both
north and south of the Somme we're
repulsed with heavy losses to the
Germans.
The British forces are not only Of
fering strong resistance to heavy enc
my attacks both north and souts of
the river Somme, but have carried out
numerous counter attacks during the
day, resulting in the regaining of
ground and the driving back of the
Germans at various points.
The report from Field Marshal
Haig tonight declares that in these
operations heavy casualties have been
inflicted on the enemy.

What the fate of the world will be If
the Germans win.
DR.. Powell, however, will tell you
very frankly that Germany will not
win the war, insisting that Germany
will be beaten because 1t cannot
withstand the Allies when they once
get into the conflict in earnest
DR.. Abbott, the editor of the Out
look, needs no introduction TO the
many readers of his magazine in this
vicinity.
There Is no doubt but that this will
be a big meeting as the people Of Ma
son county are desirous of learning
more about the war from those who
are in close touch and able to give
correct information.

MANY SUFFER FROM PTOMAINE
POISON

Due to poisoned eggs or fish that
were served at the High School lunch
room Tuesday large number of
the students and teachers suffered
from ptomaine poison. The majority
had only slight attack, but several
still remain very sick.
There were several out of the school
who ate of the fish and were i'll and
1t is thought from that the fish were
tainted, yet several who ate custard
at the High School and did not touch
fish were Ill, SO it is likely that both
fish and the eggs in the custard were
tainted.
