THE FOREIGN DEBT
TO AMERICA

Members of the Democratic party
who sought to involve the United
States in the league Of nations are
again becoming active in spreading
propaganda favoring cancellation of
the allied debts to the United States.
A former British chancellor of the ex-
chequer has visited this country and
added his argument in favor of the
proposition, and it is probable that a
sustained cancellation campaign will
soon be inaugurated. It behoves
every real American to be constantly
on his guard to combat every bit Of
inspired matter Of the sort.
That taxpayers May have q graphic

Sister in Augusta, Rires Rifle into
Abdomen-Little Chance for
Recovery.

Frcd Hays, we'll known Maysville

wood hospital suffering from a rifle
shot wound in the abdomen. Attending
say there is little chance
for his recovery as the ball has pierced
several entrals and the liver was
struck
The young man has for the past sew
eral weeks made his home with his
sister, Mrs. Ida Case, at Augusta and
while at his sisters home in the
Bracken county town Friday evening
at about 8 o'clock, he shot himself
with small 22-caliber rifle. At first
it was thought that he had shot him
self accidentally but at the hospital
he told relatives and the physicians
that he had planned to take his own
life.
The cause for the rash act is as
signed as worry over numerous
troubles.
Although native of Maysville, Hays
had not been living here for several
years but had resided in several o.
the larger cities.
Reports from his bedsire at the hos
pital Saturday afternoon were to thu
effect that his condition was very crit
'cal and that his death might be ex
0ected at any time. Hays is about 2j

Of $4,000, was returned to her home
this morning, less than IL hours after
her father, Nicola Gionannangeli. East

week ago. Despite a police guard sta
toned at her fathers bank and home
to block any attempted reprisals for
his action in reporting the demand for
ransom, she was brought to within

not been harmed, and informed her
parents she had ben taken to farm
house. She had been well cared for,

Ford Now in TT. Thomas
Garage Unclaimed.

7 Sheriff c. M. Devore was advised by
authorities at Ft. Thomas Saturday
morning that a new Ford Sedan bear
ing license plates Of the numbers as
signed to Mason county, had been in
a public garage in that city for several
days and that no one having called for
the machine, the garage men had re-
ported 1t to the authorities suspecting
that the car had been stolen.
Referring to the county records, the
sheriff found that the plates on the
car at Ft. Thomas had ben assigned
Prof. George H. Turnipseed, Superin-
tendent of the Mason County Schools.
The sheriff at once got in touch with
Prof. Turnipseed, who has not seen
his car for several days but who went
Immediately to his garage and found
that the license plates on his car had
been torn of.
Prof. Turnipseeds car had just been
returned home from tho Buick garage
and an investigation was made there
by the officers. They found from the
garage men that on last Thursday Q
new Ford sedan in which three younf
men and a young woman, all of whom
were suspicious looking characters
were at the garage. They said the!
had come from Lexington and hat
been directed through Maysville ei
route to Louisville. This caused tn
garage men to suspect that the nev
car had been stolen. It is thought tha
while at the Buick garage. the younI
men stole the tags from Prof. Turnip
seeds car and discarded the origina
tags on the machine.
