TOBACCO MUST GO
'OVER THERE"
Do Your Two-bits or More

There are good many people
who don't smoke at all and some
of them don't believe in it; think
smoking is a bad thing. But
even such people are becoming
subscribers to our fund for
sending smokes to soldiers.
The fact is that commanding
officers have declared that the
use of tobacco at the front is one
of the best steadiers for the
nervous tension which is invari-
bly, present with men under
fire. Whatever your views may
be about the use of tobacco, it
must not be forgotten that the
fighting men do need and do en-.
JOY the smoke sent them by the
contributions of the readers of
this paper.
One of the best reasons for
sending these packages of com.
fort to our soldiers is that the
tobacco that they are able to
buy in France is not such as
they want or accustomed to.
The sight of a package of Bull
Durham tobacco or of Lucky
Strike or Tuxedo pipe tobacco
is like meeting a friend from
home and the satisfaction and

DENY MINISTER'S CHARGES

eUueS8 among oAWI1lseo.
London, Jan 9.-Much indignation
has been caused among American
army and navy officials and other
Americans In London because of re.
ports circulated in the United States
that American soldiers and sailors
In Europe were drinking to excess.
This feeling has been intensified by
q charge made in his sermon at the
City Temple, by the Rev. DR.. Joseph
Fort Newton of Iowa. the pastor, OF
drunkenness among the American SOL
diers in England.
Vice Admiral William 8. Sims,
commander of the American naval
forces, and Col. 8. L. H. Slocum,
military attache Of the American EN-.
bassy in London, declared that the
charges of drunkenness were false.
Admiral Sims said there never was
. time In American history when
there was so little drunkenness
among the American fighting forces.

Receive Strict Instructions to

Preparations For War.
TEUT0N EFFORT Barred
Berlin Government Attempts to Con
ceai Fear Of United States
Through Drastic Orders
To German Press.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The depart
ment of state has been supplied with
sensational evidence of the extent to
which the Prussian government has
subjugated the press Of Germany to
the interests of the Kaiser and his war
party.
Copies Of secret and drastic regu-
lations issued to German editors,
which have fallen into the hands of
the State Department., show not on.
ly the German newspapers are pro.
hibited from printing news that is
bad, but are required to comment
only in terms Of praise concerning
events Of q military and political
nature.
7erlin's View Of v. 8. Unmasked.
Interesting l1glt is thrown upon the
Berlin view of the preparations for
war in the United States by a para
graph of an order dated June 6 last.
1t says:
While the news about Americas
war preparations, such as the or.
/ ganization and outfitting Of an army
one million strong to reinforce the
French-English front is looked upon,
in that form, as 'bluff," the spread
ing of which may unfavorably affect
the opinion Of the German people,
yet tae fact must not be overlooked,
on the other hand, that the United
States, with the support Of its ca
pacity for material and Industrial
management, is arming itself for
war with great energy and tenacity.
The war preparations in America
are therefore, as was intimated in
the Reichstag, at the time, not at
all to be made little of, but must be
taken seriously without on that
account being made a source Of
worry"
Forbid News Of U. s. Troops.
Another dated June says:
Petit Parisien informs US that
five American divisions, numbering
125,00O men be expected in France
in the autumn of 1917. It is urgent
ly requested not to reproduce this
Information without some comment
We do not wish to underestimate
the ability of America to accomplish
things, but must not on the other
hand overestimate 1t. In order to
bring division over from America,
$4,000 tons must make the trip
twice. Therefore, from the mere
fact OF lack of space, the transpor-
tation Of such a body of troops
within certain fixed time limits is
impossible. Moreover. it is impos.
sible to train these troops properly
by autumn. These facts, which have
recently been discussed in the Ger
man war news, cannot be too
strongly emphasized in the discus
sion Of the French news"

GOOD CHEER CANTEEN
TO Be ESTABLISHED
AT LOCAL DEPOT
Women of the Maysville Red Cross
Chapter VIII Establish n Good
Cheer Canteen at the Local c.
s. o. Station in the Very
Near Future.

Maysville is to have a Red Cross
canteen-something that has been
badly needed at this point for some
time or since the large number of
soldiers have been passing through on
the C.. & o. mainline for Eastern
points. This announcement was made
Saturday by the women of the Mays
vile Chapter of the American Red
Cross who have been working to this
end for several weeks,
Ever since the soldiers started pass
ing through Maysville in such large
numbers the women have been going
to the station with magazines, cigar
cites, tobacco, candy. etc, to cheer the
boys along on their trip but they have
felt the need of some sort of system
to handle the distribution of these ar
ticles and have seen the solution of
the problem in the Gobd Cheer Can
teen.
Application for suchla canteen had
been made for some tirne but the wo-
men have just been authorized to es-
tablish it here and Saturday it was
first announced that the canteen
would be a reality in the very near
future.
1t is not the purpose of the women
in charge of this canteen to furnish
lunches of any sort but they viii have
the canteen open from 'S a. m. to s p.
m. and will furnish the soldiers pass
ing through on all trains between
those hours with magazines. newspa-
pers, tobacco, cigarettes, candy and
other little articles of good cheer.
1t is to be hoped that the canteen
can be established within very short
time. 1t will not be maintained by
the funds of the Red Cross but
through contribution of the good peo-
pie of Maysville and Mason counry.
More complete details of the pro-
posed canteen will be announced with
in the next few days by the women in
charge of the project,

C. & 0. BRAKEMAN HAS
VERY NARROW ESCAPE
Sudden Application of Air Brakes on
Freight Train Throws Brakeman
Between Cars-Rather Ser
iOusly Injured.

G. d. Cline, of Covington, KY,
brakeman on West bound freight
train which passed through Maysville
yesterday afternoon about 2:3O
o'clock met with a rather serious ac-
cident and very narrowly escaped in
stant death when the train was en-
tering the Front street trestle.
Mr.. Cline was riding on a large
"gondola" coal car when the engineer
applied the airbrakes rather sudden
ly. The jar threw the brakeman from
his seat and between the cars where
he was caught on the bumpers. He
was rather badly injured by the fall
but luckily was caught before falling
entirely through onto the track.
The injued brakeman was given
medical attention by pr. A. R. Quig-
ley and taken to the c. & o. station
from which place he was taken later
to the C. & o. hospital at Dayton, KY,
for treatment.

Word has been received here that
Messrs. Varney and Barrett, of the Bx-

They will fully explain to the farm
ers the Wheat and Sheep Campaigns

should raise more sheep this year.
These men will make up only one
phase of the big program arranged for
Thursday at the big War Conference
held under the auspices of the Mason
County Council of National Defense.
Most every phase of war work will be

biggest thing of the kind ever at
tempted in Maysville and it is ex-
pected that the people from all parts
of the county will he on hand and
bring their lunches so that they can
stay all day and hear every speaker.
