Require Heaps Of Supplies.

And what does a hospital bed con-
note? Blankets. sheets. pajamas.
surgical dressing. barracks, tents.
doctors, nurses, and so on without
end It makes a dent in the largest
warehouses when you suddenly re-
move from Il enough supplies to put
up two 500 and one 40o-bed hospital
in a week. The nearer the front sup
plies are carried the more elastic the
storage, transportation. and dis
tributing systems are forced to be.
When there Is q great attack there Is
greater need. The supplies now
faster and the big warehouses are
discovered not to be bottomless- The
refiIIing process has to begin
Take for illustration one typical case,
the work Of a Red Cross Division repre-
sentative who was sent out from Paris to
Join a division OF the army. He arrived
at the headquarters Of the division situ-
ated in a French village. which in 1914
the Boches had ravished with dynamite
Finding the hotel closed. he took out his
Tommy cooker and with part OF the
supplies brought with him. cooked a
meal. And for four days he was a
squatter. Finally a medical officer took
him in and he was given an office, q
place for his supplies and invited to the
Officers mess. And this Is what the
officer subsequently wrote:
your American Red Cross representa-
tive assigned to this division Joined for
duty at a psychological moment The
American Red Cross kindly placed at
my disposal the stock at their ware
house. enabling me to I'LL acquisitions
without interruption until supplies

Everything for Emergency.

And of course the emergency medi-
cal supplies play a vital part
During a recent gas attack" said
the representative, 81 was able to de-
liver certain drugs unobtainable else
where at the moment. They arrived
just at the time the stock on hand
gave out"
And here is what the medical off,
GER wrote about such services:
"The fact that We can call on the
Red Cross for such services Is espe-
cially valuable in advanced areas, as
Il means that we can promptly carry
out plans"
The reason why an American army
officer can write to this effect Is be-
cause months ago the Red Cross filled
its warehouses and sent capable men
into the advanced areas to distribute
the gifts of the American people right
at the points where they are needed

MIKE BROWNS
STORE ROBBED
SUNDAY NIGHT
For the Second Time In Past Month
Robbers Enter and Rob Big I'm
plement and Auto Store
Police Follow Up all
Clues.

1t was learned yesterday morning
upon opening the big Mike Brown
store on Square Deal Square, that
thieves had entered the store during
Sunday night had taken $12.25 in
money from the cash drawer. Wheth-
er any of the merchandise had been
taken or not will not be known until
an inventory is taken.
Mr.. Brown was in the store on Sun
day afternoon and he is positive that
the robbery was committed some time
during Sunday night and probably
before or shortly after the robbery at
the Wells Restaurant. The officers
are of the opinion that the man who
robbed the restaurant also robbed the
implement store.
Entrance to the building was gained
from the rear through a window and
no trace was left of how the robber
left the building. His tracks were
well covered up and left nothing upon
which the police might build a clue.
The Brown store was robbed in the
same manner on a Sunday night
about three weeks ago and Mr.. Brown
is of the opinion that the same man
came back the second time.
The police have the matter in hand
and they are working on the robber-
les at Bauer C Klipp's, Wells Res
taurant and the Mike Brown store to-
gether for they believe that one has
some bearing on the other two.
This wave of small robberies has
been sweeping over Maysville for the
past month and the police are deter
mined to run these to the ground in
order to break up the petty thievery
before it developes into something
serious. Every clue the police have
on the two robberies reported to them
Sunday night will be run to the
ground and the Brown robbery which
was not reported to the police until
yesterday afternoon will be investi-
gated thoroughly.
Arrests in the robbery cases are to
be expected in a short time.

RESIDENCE ENTERED
Residence of George Dale In West
Third Street Entered But Moth
ing is Missing.

1t was discovered yesterday after
noon that some one had entered the
home of George Dale in West Third
street between Saturday and Monday
but nothing was missing. Clothing
was thrown about the house and a
davenport was upset in the floor.
The would-be thieves had entered
the house through a rear window but
left no clue upon which the police
might work. They were evidently
looking for money as nothing was
taken and there was no money in the
house at the time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Dale had been away
from home since Saturday and just
when the house was entered is not
known as it was not discovered that
the visitors had been there until the
family returned yesterday afternoon.

STATE TO HELP IN ROAD BUILD.
ING HERE

County Judge Purnell and the
County Commissioners spent yester-
day in Frankfort in conference with
the state road officials in regard to
the assistance of the state road de-
partment in road building throughout
Mason county this year. Mason coun-
ty has applied for and has been grant
ed state aid for road building which
will enable the commissioners to do
more road work than they could have
done out of the county funds alone.
So far the commissioners have done
much constructive work on the roads
and pixies of the county but they hope
to accomplish much more before the
winter months are here.

PENNIES MISSING
Supposed That Bays RObbing Bauer
g. Klipp's Store Also Entered
Navarro Cafe.

1t developed Monday that very like
ly the boys who are supposed to have
robbed Bauer &. Klipp Store also en-
tered the Navarro Cafe and stole from
one of the show cases a number of
pennies which are kept in small box
there for change at the cigar counter
A back window at the Cafe is kept
open and the boys who climbed on
back sheds to gain an entrance into
the Bauer G. Klipp Store could have
easily climbed through this window
into the Cafe. The pennies are all
that is missing in the Cafe and no
trace of the robbers has been left.
At all of the robberies reported
from Sunday 1t appears that the thief
or thieves were only looking for cash
and passed up all merchandise

GENERAL SAVINKOFF IS
CHARGED WITH MURDER
German Newspapers Accuse War Min
lister in kerensky Cabinet as Man
Behind Won Mirbach Murder.

London. July s - The murder of
Count Won Mirbach has caused great
excitement in Germany, the Exchange
Telegraph correspondent at Copen-
hagen reports. All the German news
papers use violent expressions in com
menting upon the event, but at the
same time are generally in agreement
that the Bolsheviki government was
not connected with the assassination
The Wolff Bureau telegram from Mos
COW, the Copenhagen dispatch adds,
declares the social revolutionists ad-
mitted they were concerned in the
plot to assassinate the ambassador
German newspapers are now point
ing to General Savinkoff, who was
war minister in the Kerensky cabinet,
as the man behind the Won Mirbach
plot which is being gradually develop
ed by the Teuton press into great
anti-German movement, backed by all
those men whom Germany found to
be hindrances in her plans of agrees
sion in Russia. A Moscow telegram
circulated by the Wolff Bureau of
Berlin says:
"Savinkoff is considered to be re-
sponsible for the deed. He is, more
over. said to be closely connected with
the Czecho-S lovak and social revolu-
tionary movements His where abouts
is unknown"

CAMPAIGN FOR GIRLS
HOME CLOSES TOMORROW
WOrkers7are Asked to Make Final Re-
ports Here Wednesday-PubIlc
Urged to Contribute TO
Worthy Cause.

IT
All persons in Maysville and sHas
son county who are soliciting ZION
tributions to the Vocational Training
School for Delinquent Girls are re-
quested to complete their canvass and
leave their collections at MIR. Stanley
F. Reeds office on Court street by
Wednesday, July 10.
Those who have not made contrib
utions but who wish to contribute
may also leave their contributions
with Miss Mary Newell in Mr.. Reeds
office.
We can afford to contribute liber-
ally for this cause since the Federal
Government will give dollar for ev-
cry dollar raised in the state. SO long,
as there is military training camp
in the state the institution will be I'M
der joint State and Federal control
When the training camps are removed
from the state, the institution be-
comes the absolute property of the
state.
To the state the institution is a
means of preventing the depths of
human degradation, of the possible
rehabilitation of character, and of
converting by vocational training eco
nomic liabilities into economic as
sets. 1t is also a means of preventing
the spread of loathsome disease.
To the Federal Government these
institutions, to be established in ev-
cry state having military camps. are a
War Emergency Measure for intern
ing disease carriers to curb the
spread of dishonorable diseases that
cause more loss of time to the army
than wounds received in battle and
require for treatment hospital space,
the time of physicians and nurses and
costly medicines.
When you help build these Detention
Home Schools, you help the cause of
human uplift and in very vital sense
help win the war by helping to keep
the soldiers fit to fight.

PERMANENT 4.
ORGANIZATION
FOR WAR WORK
Is Being Used by Kansas City
Chamber of commerce and Is
Suggested For Maysyllle and
Mason County.

Most every day some new plan or
idea is advanced to help win the war.
The following block by block canvass
ing plan is being successfully used by
the Kansas City Chamber of Com
merce and 1t is recommended to the
thinking men and women of Mason
county:
1.-THE Chamber of Commerce of
this city has found that the work in
cident to the successful conduct of
war campaigns is greatly minimized
by the block-by-block plan of can
wasting which the Chamber of Com
merce is now using. The work is
done by the masses instead of by a
comparative few of the business pro-
fessional and business men and the
entire city of about 100000 popula-
tons can be canvassed in one or two
days even more completely than was
possible under the old system which
required from one to two weeks.
1.-THE block-by-block organization is
not greatly unlike that of well plan
ned political organization. The city
is separated into three divisions each
division into three or four sections,
each section into groups and each
group into from six to a dozen blocks.
Those in charge of the divisions are
called majors. The major appoint
section captains the captains appoint
group lieutenants and the lieutenants
name the block sergeants. To those
ranking above the sergeants is as
signed the work of organizing the
campaign, and to the sergeants is as
signed the work of canvassing each
resident in the blocks of which they
have charge All the workers are sup
piled with badges.
THE organization differs from that
of a political body in that each group
of blocks includes parts of at least
three precincts. BY disregarding pre-
cinct boundaries the organization
cannot be accused of being used for
politics or by politicians.
"On the day designated each SER
geant visits every home in the block
to which he is assigned With the
work in the hands of / 500 workers
one man to each block the canvassing
required only a few hours and the
burden is lifted from the shoulders
of the few individuals who are usual
ly responsible for the success of such
undertakings. Campaigns lpartici-
pated in by only 200 persons require
weeks time in addition to the week
which it takes to organize the move
ment.
"The Chamber of Commerce form
ed this organization by first sending
out an appeal for volunteers to help
conduct war campaigns, and then
mailed return cards to those who re-
sponded favorably asking them to
send in the names and addresses of
others who they believed would be
willing to give their services for such
work. The officers of the Chamber
of Commerce are confident that all
the war work activities hereafter I'M
dertaken by the Chamber of Com
merce will be conducted more quickly
and successfully by this method than
ever before the statement is justified
in the light of the Chambers exper-
fence with such campaigns in the
past, even those which were conduct
ed by the old method, which have all
gone over the top"

heavy for this session and the COM
