ORDINANCE TO Be DRAWN
FIXING WHARFAGE CHARGES
City VIII Fix Charges to BE Made For
Wharfage on New Greene Wharf.
bOat-License TO BE Grant
ed Tonight.

A meeting of several councilmen
was held with Captain Gordon c.
Greene, of the Greene steamboat line,
yesterday afternoon in the office of
Attorney James NJ. Collins and it was
finally decided that City Council
should fix the rates of wharfage to
be charged.
These rates will be incorporated in
an ordinance which will be presented
to Council tonight when Captain
Greene makes formal application for
license before the entire Council.
Besides fixing the rates for wharf
age charges this ordinance will pro-
vide that all boats operating on the
Ohio river will have the privilege of
landing at the Greene wharfboat and
that no freight will be held for any
special boat or boat line.

the same time give the city a reason

mary Election Either in Mason
County or the State.

The senatorial primary election
held Saturday was probably the quiet
est election ever held in the state of
Kentucky The people were too much
interested in war to pay attention to
politics and the political workers
were not concerned.
On the face of the meager returns
now available, for the election ofiic-
ers are slow in making their returns,

who is now confined to a hospital in

lr Mason county the primary was
very uninteresting and in some pre-
cincts the polls were not opened I'M
til the middle of the day because of
the inability to secure election ofic-
ers.
Less than thousand votes we're
cast in both parties in the entire
county and election officers were so
SLOW reporting returns to Maysville
that no definite figures can be an
nounced. On the face of what returns
are in hand Senator James has de-
feated his opponent in this county by
vote of fifty or sixty to one while
Judge Bcthurum will probably carry
the county by small majority. Only
fifteen precincts are reported of the
twenty-five this morning ana In some
instances the election officers have
failed to put the vote on the stubs so
that any figures announced might be
misleading. Less than 600 votes were
cast in these Is precincts. however
and the races in this county seem to
be about the same as in the state

Mrs. Fannie Carver, of Commerce
street, Saturday received n letter
from her brother, Charles p. Austin.
of Madisonville, announcing that his
son, Walter S. Austin, had been killed

declared war on the Imperial Ger
man government and has been in
France for several months Only a
few weeks ago he was gassed by the
Germans but after a very short time
in the hospital he again faced the enc
my this time to make the supreme
sacrifice for his country.
The young man comes from a fam
lily of patriots which has been repre-
sented in most every war since the
war in defense of the declaration of
independence. His fathers great
grand father, Philip Rice, fought in
the Revolutionary war. His fathers
grandfather, Hudson Rice fought in
the war of 1912. Three uncles fought
in the Civil War and he now has two
brothers in the present conflict, Cor
poral Charles d. Austin, Engineers
Corps in Italy and William c. Austin,
Ordnance Department of the British

The young mans parents were for
mer residents of Maysville and their
many friends here extend them their
sympathies in this great loss.

With the American Army on Aisne-
Marne Front, August 4-The town of
Fismes was taken late today by the
American troops, supported by the
French.
The French are across the Vesle at
several points to the eastward and
the line has been extended northwest
of Rheims to La Neuvillett. The Ger
mans are resisting sharply from Mui-
zon to Champigny.
Fismes was taken after a heavy ar
tillery fight that began in the mid
die of the afternoon. A few Ameri-
cans entered the town Saturday after
noon and remained there all night.
They were driven out early today.
The Germans threw gas shells and
shrapnel into the southern part of the
town, making it inadvisable for the
little party to remain longer.
Allies Cross AiSne and Pursue Huns
Paris, August 4-(Battle Front 15O

Aisne at several points between Sois-
sons and Venizel The German resist
ance is falterng on the left wing of
the Allied advance while ii is grow
ing stubborn and desperate on the
right wing, where the Germans still
retain a foothold on the southern bank
of the Vesle between Champigny and
Jonchery, northwest of Rheims.
The number of prisoners captured
by the Allies during the last two days
will thrill the Allied world when an
nounced. The Vesle river, which was
flooded owing to the recent heavy
rains, has hampered the German rear
guards, which were unable to ford the
stream and had to fight for their lives
The most of these Germans were kill
ed and the rest were made prisoners.
Fismes is completely surrounded by
American troops. The Germans are
retaining n foothold in the extreme
northern part of the town, where
there is house to house fighting. Crack
Prussian guard units are offering a
desperate resistance to the Ameri-
cans.
Allied forces in pursuit of the Ger
mans at $3.50 p. m. had passed
through veritable charnel houses,
strewn with the debris of war. Bodies
of men and horses are mingled with
broken down vehicles alongside mon
ster ammunition dumps, some partial
ly exploded and others intact. Bodies
of Germans found in clusters beyond
the range of the Allied artillery indi-
cate that severe punishment was in
flcted on the flying columns by the
French, American and British avia-

Both flanks of the German forces
between Rheims and scissors ap-
peared to have been turned at 4:2O p

German reinforcements are report

from the north. The Allies continue
their advance. according to latest re-
ports, although it is held within pru-
dent limits The Allied left wing has
moved faster than the right and fur
