PROGRAM OF
KNIGHTS ANNUAL
MEET ANNOUNCED
Maysville and Mason County Extend
Hearty Welcome TO Kentucky
Knuights Of Columbus.

The reputation of Maysville as a
convention city is farfamed by reason
of the hospitality and kindly feeling
ever extended to the guests within our
gates. On next Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday the State Council of the
Kentucky knights of Columbus will be
for the first time within our city. On
that occasion, Maysville it is believed
by the extension of its hospitality and
that general fine fellow feeling to the
Knights of Columbus. will repeat it's
past history
Whilst the Knights of Columbus lay
no claim on our appreciation for the
yeoman service so magnanimously
performed for our nation and our al
lies, it is too busy, great order, that it
is, in its wonderful reconstruction pro-
gram, to lay claim to anything but to
service, yet If the knights of Colum-
bus did nothing more than its war
work, 1t would have earned the lasting
gratitude of every knowing citizen
The tributes paid to that work of the
Knights of Columbus by the returned
soldier, puts this proposition beyond
dispute The program attached shows
how their local brethren of the visiting
delegates and their ladies appreciate
their presence.

Buenos Aires.-Belief that wide

at work stealing merchandise from
steamships is expressed in report of
the United States Chamber of Com
MERGE in Argentina.
The chamber investigated the loss
of valuable merchandise by pilfering
from ships plying to this port, and
found "that the same characteristics
are visible in thefts of merchandise
from Italy, Spain and England as
from the United States.
"The increase in pilferage during
the last few months had been alarm
ing" says the report. can effort was
made to deduce from the evidence re-
ceived the value of the goods stolen,
but this was impossible, although in
general terms it would seem to run
into hundreds Of thousands of dollars
gold"

100000 JEWS SERVE IN WAR
Or. Max Nordau Says Race Lost &c.
600 Dead in the Fighting
Had 100000 Casualties.

LOndon.-Dr. Max Nordau told the
English Zionist federation the other
day that in the world war the Jews
had furnished 100000 soldiers to the
various armies.
This, he said, was about per cent
Of the whole number of Jews, pro-
portion equaled by few and surpassed
only, he believes, by the French.
The jews had lost $4,000 dead and had
about 100000 casualties.
But what had the Jews fought for,
he asked. Even in the advanced and
highly civilized countries of the West,
he continued, a huge wave of anti
Semitism was yelling up; in the new
countries that had arisen in the East
the most criminal passions were let
loose against the Jews. In this dark
picture there was one bright spot, the
British declaration in favor of jew
ish national home in Palestine.

SCOTS SPURN SUNDAY WORK
Lord LeverhuIme Finds Opposition to
Plan for Great Fishing
Project.

London.-Lord Leverhulme has en-
countered the religious prejudices of
the Scotchmen who live on the extern
sive property he has purchased in the
Outer Hebrides and has suffered a re-
buff. He had planned to make Storno-
way, on the Island of Lewis, the head
quarters of a huge fishing fleet that
would sweep the seas for 500 miles
around. The project involved Sunday
labor, and the islanders, who adhere
to the strict and intense form of the
Presbyterian faith, rejected it.
Commenting on the incident, the
periodical, Common Sense, says:
lord Leverhulme is a man of big
ideas and new ideas, while the popuIa-
ton over whom he has declared the
rights of Hardship are folk of old and
intense ideas. Hence the inevitable
collision"

HOMES IN HEAVEN.
Said to Depend On Materials One
Has Sent Before.
Therefore, the Occupier of a Mansion
on Earth Will Not Necessarily Be
SumptuousIy Lodged Hereafter
STORY That Points Moral.

There were stories told at the an
nual meeting of the Travellers Aid
meeting at the Princess theater the 9th
er day that were too good to be lost
One by President S. I. Cox Of the Silk
Travellers association is specially in
teresting in these days when every one
seems to be thinking more or less of
the life hereafter: Some one had gone
to the pastor Of Mr.. COX's church to
ask his idea Of heaven and in answer
he related a dream told him by an
other member Of the church, a man of
prominence and high financial stand
ing. This gentleman in his dream had
died, reached the gates Of heaven, was
admitted and courteOusly taken on
personally conducted tour through the
pearly street Of the country now to be
his home. A number of houses were
in process Of construction, and a large
one was pointed out as being the fu-
ture home Of the man who on earth
had been the new arrivals gardener.
For my gardener!' exclaimed the
gentleman in surprise. why, on earth
he lived in such small house! He
needn't have done so, of course, but he
never had anything, he gave everything
away. He lived in the little lodge at
the entrance to my grounds"
The guide assented to the truth of
this statement and the personally CON
Quoted tour was continued until they
came to another house in process of
erection, SO small that the new arrival
asked curiOusly for wh )m it was in
tended and was amazed upon being
told that that was to be his own home.
II am to live in that little place,
when on earth / had such a great
house," he exclaimed.
EYES," said the guide, "but you see
here we have to use the materials we
have on hand, and when you were on
earth you sent very little over"
Another story was told by Miss
Eleanor Perry, young woman who is
one Of the Travellers Aid workers at
the railroad stations and goes to show
that South Dakota has good climate
which tends to the longevity Of its in
habitants and enables them to retain
qualities of alertness to an advanced
age.
Miss Perry was on duty at the sta
ton one night when the matron
brought to her nice old lady of eighty
who had come from South Dakota and
wished to go to Brooklyn to see a
daughter who was seriously i'll in
hospital, but she did not know the
way. Miss Perry undertook to act as
guide, found her companion very alert,
much interested in the subway, which
she saw for the first time in her life,
and learned the short notice upon
which she had undertaken her trip
from the West.

Airman's Record Glide.

What is believed to be worlds rec
ord for gliding with a dead motor was
accomplished at Ithaca, n. T., in a
ThOmas-MOrse tWO-Seater blplane,
says the Scientific American. This
machine flew to the head of Cayuga
lake, a distance of 50 miles, and hav-
ing attained a height of 1880 feet,
the pilot glided to Ithaca, at which
noint he still had 5000 altitude. If his
glide had been continued it is estl-
mated that an additional 10 miles
could have been covered, making TO-
tai of 80 miles without the use OF his
motor. The longest glide previously
recorded was that of Captain Rayn-
ham. according to Aeronautics, when
he glided from Brooklands to Hendon

Tells Secret of Smoke
Screens Used in War

London.-The secret of the
smoke screens. used with great
success by the British navy in
the raids on Ostend and Zee
brugge, is definitely disclosed.
They were produced from an
acid, which has to be burned in
the presence Of a sufficient
amount of water vapor, other
wise the smoke produced, even
over the sea, is liable to be
somewhat thin on a dry day.
Commander Brock, who sac
rifced his life in the assault on
the German defenses at the Bel
gian ports, devised the plan to
feed the acid in a fine spray into
the funnel of a destroyer, where
the temperature was sufficient
to vaporize the acid, and the
water vapor present completed
the formation of the cloud.
