MASON COUNTY HAS
Been ASSESSED $25,8O7
In the United War Work Campaign,
and the Organization to Get This
Money Has Been Completed.

Mr.. c. A. Shroetter, Secretary of the
Maysville District, met with District
Chairman Cochran and County Chair
man Rees at the Chamber of Com
merce last evening to assist in COM
pleting the arrangements for the Unit
ed War Work Campaign.
Mason County has been assessed a
quota of $25,S07.5O and each of the
precinct chairmen will have COM
mittee to assess the individuals their
proportionate quota.
"The period of rehabilitation can
very easily be transformed into a per-
iod of decentralization If these seven
organizations do not work to the very
limit of their capacity" was the de-
claration of John r. Mott, interna-
tional secretary of the Y. NJ. c. A., at
meeting of the United War Work
Campaign Managers from the Central
and Western States in Chicago, last
Saturday. During his address Mr.. Mott
said in part:
"On account of recent happenings in
the world war it becomes necessary to
increase our budget at least so per
cent. This may impress you as al
most an insurmountable obstacle
when we consider the other handicaps
under which you are compelled to la
Dor by reason of the influenza and
other epidemics, but l can only an
swer that by saying that obstacles, in
my opinion, are created to be over
come and when we consider what the
moys are doing for us in France, we
can hardly say that we have any OBJ
ftacles to overcome over here. Hence
we are called upon for a renewed and
more determined effort. 1t is a stu
pendous job that has been outlined for
the seven societies connected with this
campaign. We are handling a work
that in connection with the army to-
| day that in peace times is handled by
| 80 additional subsidiary organizations
Then again we are called upon to stay
! in close touch with our immense army
of boys from the time they leave home

REPUBLICANS TO WIN A
MAJORITY IN BOTH HOUSES
Campaign Managers Predict Great
Congressional Victory - Presi-
dents Appeal, They Declare,
Has Helped Them.

Washington, November 1-Republi-
can managers of the congressional
campaign expect a Republican major
ity in the next House running any
where from 20 to 40 They hope to
have a majority of three in the Sen
ate.
The Democrats have little, if any,
hope of maintaining their lead of four
votes in the House. They now have a
majority of eight in the Senate They
expect to see it cut down to two. They
say they can count surely on 1877 seats
in the House, with 40 doubtful, pro-
badly Democratic. OF the 40 they
must carry q to assure control by the
present margin of four
The Republicans must gain FIVE
seats and lose none to control the
next Senate. They expect to gain New
Hampshire, Illinois, Kansas ana Della
ware, with hopes of additional re-
cruits from Nevada, Montana, Idaho,
Colorado, Kentucky and Missouri.
The situation, which was doubtful for
Republican success in Rhode Island,
Michigan, South Dakota, and Ne
braska, has shifted, and the Republi-
cans now expect to hold their posi-
tions in those States.
They expect the bulk of the gains in
the House from Ohio, Kansas, Ne
braska and Pennsylvania, respective
ly, five, four, two and three They look
for scattering gains from California,
Colorado, South Dakota, Kentucky, In
| diana, Michigan, West Virginia, New
Jersey, Delaware and Connecticut.
They look also for some scattering
losses, Wisconsin and Minnesota offer
ing the more dangerous situation. AL
together they hope to gain 20 seats
more than they will lose. A gain of
20 would increase the Republican
| strength in the House to 230. The to-
tai number of members is 435. This
would leave the Democrats and the
nondescript parties in the House POS.
The Democrats now have PA.
President Wilson's appeal for a
Democratic Congress, the Republican
managers assert, has stiffened Repub-
lican sentiment everywhere. "lf il
gets out the Republican vote as we
think it will we will win," is the way
they put it, THE drift is toward us
and Republicans are up on their toes
everywhere"

SEVENTEEN PER CENT.
over The TOP IS GOOD
Splendid Showing Made BY This Fed
eral Reserve District In The
Libert Bond Sales.

That the nation went away "Over
the top" in the last Liberty Bond
drive makes every one feel good and
patriotic.
But when we Maysville and Mason
county folks know that we had hand
in the big noise, this county contribut-
ing 100000 over its quota, helping to
send our district over to the tune of
II per cent, the figures now being
$7O1 100000 for this district, we GER
tainly have a right to feel like we
have done one little bit to help the
boys overseas lick the Kiser and his
Kohorts to a great big fragile.
Here's the good news in a telegram
to Hon. James N. Kehoe, Chairman of
Mason County Liberty Loan Commit
tee, that tells the big story:

]. N. Kehoe, Chairman Liberty Loan,
Maysville, Ky.
Subscription for the Fourth Lib
erty Loan in this district now totals
seven hundred and one million, ap-
proximately or several per cent. over
subscription. Accept our congratula-
tions for your share in this wonder
full result.

preclate what this means you will

ing camps, up to the fighting line, the

At meeting of the representatives
of the seven organizations partlcipat-
ing in the coming campaign, which
was held at Louisville, Wednesday, a
resolution was offered by Richard P.
Ernest of Covington and unanimously
passed, as follows:
Resolved, That in view of the ne
cessity for larger fund for the Unit
ed War Work, it is the sense of this
meeting that Kentucky should endeav-
or to raise it's proportion of the
amount required for the work and
that so per cent. increase be recom-
mended to be urged upon each coun-
ty and further
Resolved, That copy of this reso-
luton be sent each county, together
with short compact statement of the
necessity for this increase"
In conformity with the above reso-
luton it is the purpose of the Mason
county organization to over subscribe
its quota 80 per cent.

FELL AND BROKE HER LEG

Mrs. George N. Crawford met with
an accident Friday night that will lay
her up for some time. She had been
to the Postoffice to mail letter and
in coming out at the side entrance
made mistep and fell and broke her
leg. She was carried to her home on
Lee street and Drs. Long and Taylor
set the broken bone, and she is rest
ing as comfortable as it is possible.
On account of Mrs. Crawford's age
and physical condition the accident is
a serious one.

KAISER'S DOOM
CERTAIN WHEN
ALLIES SPEAK
Surrender Terms 10 Bring Germany to
to Crisis within A Very Few
Short Hours.

Washington, November 2-The next
4S to 60 hours are expected to write
dramatic events on the closing pages
of the war. Il
Impending developments are COM
ing rapidly to a head Within the next
few days 1t is deemed possible in Of
fetal quarters here that:
l. Austria will submit to armistice
terms, equivalent to unconditional
surrender
2. The Versailles Council will fin
ish its armistice task and send sur
render terms forward to Germany.
3. That the kaiser may abdicate.
President Wilson laborcd late last
night and was astir early today on the
information from the Versailles con-
ference.
There was reason ito believe ar
mistice terms fully safeguarding
American allied supremacy had about
been framed.
That Germany cannot choose but to
| accept them is the thought here.
Though Hindenburg is quoted as
ha' . said Germany never will sur
render, President Wilson is working
and has been working for some time
past on the theory she would crum-
BILE and take what she was handed.
The Austrian armistice situation ia
crytalizing raridly. The outburst of
popular unrisings within the dual
monarchy plus the Italian offensive
long since have assured that Austria
will yield fully. Her acceptance of
armistice trems is only matter of a
brief time.
AS for the kaiser's abdiCation in the
next few days, there is some uncer-
/ tainty. The matter has been discuss
ed freely, both officially and among
the people of Germany, according to
press reports.
The kaiser appears, however, to be
clinging to the last forlorn hope. tho
it is seen here he must go ere long.
The State and War Departments
and the White House still maintained
/ silence as to what actually is develop
| ing at Versailles.
There is a prospect this silence will
be shattered, however, either at Ver-
sailles or here before Monday night.
Now that affairs are coming to a
head, it may be said the president and
his closest advisers have foreseen ever
since Germany started peace over
lures that the end was coming fast
Turkish and Austrian disappear
ance from the war In exactly the man.
ner as now recorded was anticipated.
1t may be added that the president
acted with this practical certainty il
mind and with the prospect that Ger,
many, thus deserted, would have t
yield to the allied-Ameri9an terms o
surrender
The reaction of the nation to thu
German proposals made the presi
dents negotiations rather more cir
cuitous than they might otherwis
have been.
But, as authorities here sense TIL
} situation, the world now is adjusting
itself to the idea of an early peac
J with punishment for Germany, no
prolongation of the struggle for re
venge.
There is, of course, a possibilit
, Germany will attempt a desperat
eleventh-hour renewal of the war.
But it is held here the German peo
pie, expecting a peace and deserte
by their allies, will see to it tina
peace is obtained quickly, 1t is fel
there can be no rallying of German
at this stage.

1000 Square Miles Retaken in Italy

1000 Square Miles Retaken In Italy
Italian Headquarters, November 2
Allied troops have cut off the retreat
of the Austrians in Trentino, except
over mule paths in the mountains. The
headlong flight of the Austrians on the
Venetian plain continues.
More than a thousand square miles
of Italy's invaded provinces have been
reconquered in the last weeks fight
ing, but the greatest Importance of
the daring movement conceived by
General Diaz is his success in separat-
ing the Austrian army occupying the
Monte Grappa and Trentino regions
from that on the Venetian plain.
King Victor Emmanuel is always
the first to share the danger with his
troops. He divides his time between
the Monte Grapba region and the Sec
tion east of the Piave. His appearance
always causes outbursts of enthus-
iasm. When recognized by his men
they shout to him Long Live the SOL
dier King"
The joy of the inhabitants over
their liberation is eXtravagant. In
Padua and Verona the street cars
are covered with banners of Allied
colors. There are demonstrations of
joy in ST. Marks place in Venice, and
singing is heard along the canals of
that historic city for the first time in
two years.
The correspondent met an officer
at San Dona di Piave, who had not
been home for three years. 1t found
the trees cut down and the walls of
the dwelling destroyed to within three
feet of the ground. Yet he said: at
has been worth while just the same. |
am sorry ! couldn't suffer more for
my country.
One of the last acts of the retreat
ing Austrians was to shoot a woman
who was attempting to cross the river
to reach the British troops.
