son, who has been attached to the
American line forces on the Marine

to the Exchange Telegraph company
Lieut., Roosevelt, the dispatch says,
was returning from a patrol fight
when he was attacked by a German
squadron.
1t was seen that Roosevelt sudden
ly lost control of his machine. having
probably received a mortal wound.
a dispatch from Paris says that
ROosevelt's machine was seen to fall
within the German lines The sig
statement is added that it
was not in flames when it fell, which
implies that young Roosevelt was
either dead or so seriously wounded
at the time that he was unable to
control his machine, with the further
probability that if he We're not dead
when the machine began to fall he
was killed by the fall.

PROTESTS AGAINST The
NEGLECT OF OHIO river
Indiana Senator Declares This Stream
Should Share in Proposed
SS,0GN.00O Allotment.

shington-Senator James Wat
son, of Indiana, may file a protest
with the federal railroad adminstra-
ton over what he believes to be an
undue neglect of the Ohio River. Re
Gently it was stated that the federal
road administration intends to allot
$SOOO,0O0 of government funds for
barges and other equipment to move
commerce on the Mississippi River
and the Warrior River, in Alabama.
Senator Watson takes the position
that it is entirely wrong to allot this
enormous sum without spending part
of it to promote commerce on the Ohio
River, the Nississippi's tributary, and
he wrote to the railroad administra-
ton TO inquire whether any part of
the $S,O00,00O fund is intended to ap-
ply to the Ohio. He has received a
reply, which says; mo order has
been issued with respect to the Ohio"

LOCAL SAILOR
SAW CONVICTION
WHEN TORPEDOED
MaysNille Boy Making Good in U. 5.
Navy Saw Great Steamship Tor
pedoed on His Sixth
Trip Overseas.

Thomas Wallace, son of Mr.. and
Mrs James A. Wallace, of Forest ave-
nue., has had some wonderful expert
enccs since he entered the service of
Uncle Sam in the navy more than a
year ago.
Young Mr.. Wallace first entered the
service as an apprentice seaman but
in a very short time he was promoted
to second seaman and later made a
member of the Armed Guard of the
United States Navy. As a member of
the armed guard he has crossed the
Atlantic six times guarding each time
precious load of supplies for our
soldiers at the front in Europe.
Just few days ago young Wallace
reached an American port returning
from his sixth trip across and one of
the first things he did when he land
ed in the good old U. S. A. was to
write to his parents. In his letter he
tells of having seen the sinking of
the Covington and of his boat having
accounted for one submarine on their
last trip over.
Mr. Wallace's letter in part says:
81 just got in port yesterday so of
course we haven't gotten any mail
yet, but l thought | would write you
so you would know that l was all
o. | tried to get furlough but the
most l could get was four days.
knew that wouldn't be long enough so
turned it down but hope to be able
to get a ten days furlough some of
these sweet days. 1t is creeping very
close TO a year now since l saw you
all
well the old Kaiser has one less
sub. to his credit as we sank one go
ing over and sighted two more but
were unable to get them.
81 suppose you heard, or read in the
papers about the Covington being
sunk I saw her when she was tor
pedocd. She was about 1000 yards
away from our ship at the time. When
the torpedo struck her a column of
water about 100 feet higher than the
ship shot up and the steam and smoke
shot up from her stacks. She then
settled on her starboard side and
turned about and make all speed back
to Brest. Just outside the harbor she
sank. Every one was saved but of
course we didn't see her when she
went under as we kept coming on our
way home.
THAT old Kaiser has something
coming to him yet
No Maysvillo man has made better
record in the service of his country
during this present war than has
younl Wallace. He is now in charge
of a gun crew on the steamship
Princess Matoika and his gun crew
already has had the honor of account
ing for more than one German sub

CULPRITS CUT ROPES ,
ON TENT; DOGS CALLED
Manchester Blood Hounds Pass
Pass Through Here From PEN
dletOn County Where They
Were Called on Ser
iOus Case.

Constable Stewards, of Manchester,
Ohio, passed through the city last
night on his way home from Peach
Grove, a small community located
near Falmouth in Pendleton county,
having with him the Manchester blood
hounds.
The man chasing dogs had been
called to Pendleton county by the
managers of a revival meeting in
charge of Rev Bud" Robinson, ia
nous Holiness evangelist. 1t seems
as though some one in the neighbor-
hood has been interfering with the
services most every evening. For
some time persons hid in a woods
nearby and rocked the tent so that
services were much intcrfered with
but these culprits went the limit
few nights ago when under cover of
night they slipped to the tent, cut the
guy ropes and caused the large tent
to collapse.
Following this interference, the
managers sent the call to Manchester
for the bloodhounds. The dogs ar
rived early yesterday morning but be-
cause of much rain in that section of
the state they were unable to take up
or follow any trail. Pendleton county
officers are very anxious to get the
men guilty of cutting the tent ropes
and they are promised full prosecu-
ton if caught.

AIRPLANE STATION
FOR THIS CITY
MaySyille May Have Visitors From
Aero Fields Coming in Their
Army Planes.

Many cities throughout this section
have built landing stations for air.
planes and several aviators from the
nearby fields have been making trips
to these cities showing the people of
the cities something of the activities
of an army airman.
1t is understood that the people of
the city of Huntington. w. Va, have
been considerably interested in the
coming of student aviators from the
Wright Field near Dayton, Ohio, to
their city since they built good air.
plane station there.
1t has been suggested that such a
landing be arranged for in Maysville
and that the officers of the Aerial
training station at Dayton be asked
to allow some of these fliers to come
by way of Cincinnati and thence up
the Ohio river stopping off for a while
in Maysville.
1t is pointed out that the old race
track on Forest avenue would make a
splendid place for a landing station
and would be a splendid place for the
aviators to again take to the air. 1t
is more than likely that the matter
will be put up to officers of the Day
ton field and it may be that in the
near future Maysville will have fire.
