The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1917-03-20
AS THE EDITOR SEES II

The action of twelve United
States Senators in conducting a
fllibuster in the closing hours Of
Congress that defeated the will Of
the President, an overwhelming ma
jority of Congress and like pro-
portion of the people of the nation,
viii have at least dne bcnefcient
result, despite the fact that the
act will stand out as one Of the
blacklist smudges on American pa
triotism. Il will solidify the Amer
lean people behind the President in
his determination to assert the in
volatility Of American life and
commerce upon the high seas. In
every section of the country men
Of every political faith have de-
nounced the disgraceful filibuster.
Ministers, merchants, professional
men, farmers, laborers, women, ev-
erywhere show determination to
assert for once and all American
rights upon the seas, even ii it
leads to the war we so ardently de-
sire to escape. The people do not
want war If it can be honorably
avoided, but they are ready to fight
and sacrifice for the retention of
their honor and their rights Of life
and commerce if it becomes neces-
sary to do so. Today there is
grim set to the American counte-
nance that means stern business.
Another thing we have noted with
degree of pride in our own coun-
try. Big Business has come right
to the front in the crisis. Heads
of great manufacturing concerns,
railroad corporations, engineering
firms, all assured the government
that their corporations and their
individual services are at the dis
.posal Of the government if war
comes. There is little noise or loud
talk, but everywhere a calm and in
flexible purpose is evident. And
this spirit is not confined to Big
Business alone. Little Business
marches right up at the front,
ii==55s-- leaders are piedging inc
loyalty and assistance Of their
organizations, farmers offering both
men and foodstuffs, and women
are banding together by the hun
dreds Of thousands in the common
cause. Political considerations are
kicked aside, religious zeal even
urges the people on to greater fer
YER and patriotism. American peo-
pie are being solidified as they have
never been before since the days
of Washington. And they are
ready to meet whatever is before
them.
But there is one suggestion we
want to make, in a spirit of fair
ness and justice. We have among
us many excellent citizens Of for
egn birth. We have seen no evil
dences of disloyalty to our country
among them, and we believe them
sincere in their purpose to defend
the country Of their adoption. They
are Americans now, and should be
treated as such. We should exhibit
no enmity toward them because Of
their foreign blood, for their very
presence here indicates that they
prefer this country to the one they
left.
Again we want to remind our
farmer friends Of the imperative

Allies have been gaining slowly along
the western front. The Germans are
fighting more stubbornly and appear
to have changed their methods Of de-
Tense. The British troops have learn
ed that the Germans instead of in
trenching themselves, have broken up
into small groups behind natural bar
riers, in old buildings and in holes
made by shell explosions, all armed
with machine guns. Masses of Ger
man reserves have been hurled IT,
ward against General Haig's line but
they can make no progress. The AL
lies have not yet succeeded in taking
st. Quentin.
German Strike Quoted
The great Strike among munition
workers in Berlin and other German
cities has been quelled. The military
took charge of the munition factories
and told the strikers they would either
return to work or they would be COM
PEELED to do so at soldiers wages. Most
of them returned. The food situation
in Germany is said to be bad. George
Ledebour, leader of the Social Demo-
Gratis, says: Thousands of workmen
have been forced to abandon work ow-
ing to their distress"

Big Sea Battle
A big sea battle occurred close to
the coast Of England on the night OF
April 20, when six German destroyers
attacked two British destroyers. The
two British destroyers sank all six OF
the German boats, but were pretty
badly damaged in doing so. They got
back to port under their own steam,
however. The Swift and the Broke
are the names of the British destroy
ers. The Broke rammed one Of the
German boats and the two destroyers
were fastened thus together. Germans
went over the side Of their vessel in
to the British ship and the men fought
hand to hand like the days when the
old wooden vessels were dashed togetn-
er. The men fought with automatic
pistols, bayonets and cutlasses.

Rare Cabinet Work

Speaking of wood-note espe-
cially the cabinet work of The
Brunswick-the selection of rare
woods, the hand-carving and the
finish. The House of Brunswick
has held first place in the wood

years.
The cabinet and the tone are
truly outward evidences Of other
projections and values. The Bruins
wick has we'll been called "All

In The Brunswick please note
particularly the sound chamber.
It Is the throat.
This sound chamber is built en-.
tirely of wood-like a violin. Not
of metal.
This all wood construction -
acousticians declared-was neces-
sary to insure all those full, round
overtones, mellow low notes, the
clear. vibrant high G" and the del
icate nuances so difficult to attain.
Only with an atwood sound

produce the exact standings of the
human voice or instruments.

could never consent to that-since
1t has never stinted.

compare. You will note the diff

many music lovers prefer The
Brunswick's tonal values.

The Brunswick not only opens

The Brunswick is held In such
high esteem by discerning music
lovers because of its exquisite
renditions.
Do not imagine, however, that
It takes a delicately trained ear to
detect Brunswick superiority.
Brunswick tones are instantly
self-evident. Chiefly because they
lack all nasal and metallic sounds.

of their institutions is the Holly

addresses and enjoy a luncheon.
Its membership numbers sixty farm

guests in addition come to the

enterprises has been laying out and

All naII, Cne cn0uC0uQuo season
is once more upon us and it il time
for you to put on your best bib
and tucker" and prepare to enjoy
. few days outing. There is no one
institution that comes to q town
In the course of a summer that does
80 much real good and affords SO
much real pleasure q the chautau-
qua. Here We have the opportunity
OF hearing some of the most able
speakers and entertainers in the
world, q privilege that we could
never hope for, were it not for the
chautauqua. The worlds greatest
and best entertainers are brought
right to our door, SO to speak.
1t is hard to estimate the real
worth of chautauqua to town
like Holly. A street carnival COM
pany takes great sums of money
out of town and leaves nothing
but bunch of rubbish and very
bad taste. The chautauqua is many
times more entertaining to both
old and young, and leaves q help
full, uplifting influence in the COM
munity. True it takes something
out of the town, but anything that
is worth something likewise costs
something. HOlly's chsutauqua
last year advertised the town ex-
tensively throughout this section
OF the state and while the attend
ance was big last year it is expected
this year to far exceed last years
records.
The program this year includes
some of the very best talent on the
chautauqua platform and the ar
rangemet is SO varied that all are
sure to be pleased with all five days
work. An exceptionally fine junior
chautauqua is beiug arraneed for

very pleasing feature will be the
community singing which will be
in charge of the Eichorns on the
fourth day OF the assembly. Do not
miss, this feature as it is something
new and both highly entertaining
and instructive -
The grounds have been, selected
and the big tent will be pitched
on the same lots as last year. All
necessary wiring and arrangements
will be looked after at once SO that
there will be no delay yhen the
opening of the big session comes.
Tickets are now on sale at both OF
the Holly drug stores or may be
purchased through, Ted Fortney,
chairman of the ticket selling COM
mittee and you should lose no time
in getting your seats selected for
