Will Be the Theme Of DR..
Mcconnell at Tonight's
Program.
CLOSING CHAUTAUQUA
Strongest Program Of the
Season is Reserved for
Today and Night

There was no performance at the
Chautauqua tent Sunday, on account
of the contract with the people of
Hopkinsville. The business men,
however, got together and by their
special request and independent of
the Chautauqua, the Brooks Band
gave a sacred musical program at
Virginia Park at $3.50 in the afternoon.
Sunday night DIR. E. L. Eaton, one
of the foremost Sunday lecturers on
the Chautauqua platform, occupied
the pulpit of the 9th street Christian
church. DIR. Eaton is man of genial
personality, and is one of the most
forceful speakers before the Ameri-
can people today. His subject of
"What and Why is Miracle?" was
handled in wonderful manner and
when he had finished, his hearers
went away with many points of Bib
lical knowledge that they had never
thought of before. The underlying
theme of his address was that man
knows and understands almost moth
ing, but has faith in many things He
said that Christ had to perform mira
cles because if he had not, no one
would have believed his claims Of
Divinity
The Chautauqua program yesterday
was furnished by the Emerson Win
tiers company in the afternoon follow
ed by Mrs. A. C. Zehner, one of the
best women orators in the South.
The Winters company furnished a
prelude to the Local Talent pageant
in the evening with a very unique
performance consisting of bird war
blings, pianologues and many unns-
ual performances.
Today is the last day of the Chan
tauqua and the feature will be the
two addresses given by DR.. Lincoln
Mcconnell. In the afternoon he will
give his famous lecture Dead Lions"
and the Chautauqua will close with
his new and matdhless address, "The
Devil and the Kaiser"
DR.. Mcconnell is one of the great
est lecturers in the world today and
the largest crowd of the ChautauQua
should be present to hear him.
The American Opera Quartet win
furnish the music of the day. This
afternoon at 2:3o they will give pre-
lude to DR.. Mcconnell and tonight at
7:45 they will give in costume selec-
tions from the opera, Bohemian
Girl" This will nc. doubt be one of
the best Chautauqua days ever had in
Hopkinsville.

Russian Foreign Minister,
Tereschtenko, Pledges Con-
tinuance Of the War.
2 REPUBLICS AIM IS ONE
Oldest and Youngest Repub-
ic Will War for World De-
mocracy Says Official.

Petrograd, June 18.-"The Rus
sian people consider war inevitable
and will continue il. The Russians
have no imperialistic wishes. We
know that you have none. We shall
fight together to secure liberty, free
dom and happiness for all the world.
| am happy today, that | do not see
any moral idea or factor between
America and Russia to divide us. We
two people-Russia fighting tyranny
and America standing as the oldest
democracy-hand in hand will show
the way of happiness to nations great
and small"
The ringing words, expressing the
attitude of the Russian government
toward America and the American
mission headed by EBhu Root were
voiced tonight by M. Tereschtenko,
minister of foreign affairs, respond
ing for the council of ministers to Mr..
Roots address of sympathy and good
will on the part of the American gov
eminent.
KERENSKY THERE IN SOLDIERS
BLOUSE.
The American ambassador, David
B. Francis, presented the mission to
the minister in Amrinsky palace, ex-
planning that the mission had come to
Russia to discover how America can
best cooperate with its ally in / or
warding the fight against the common
enemy. The presentation was very
informal, only few Russian officials
and the members of the American
embassy attending. NJ. KerenSky, the
youthful minister of war, just back
from the front, wore the khaki blouse
of common soldier.
The ministers listened with rapt at
tention to Mr.. Roots address, which
was an impressive utterance, both in
substance and manner. M. Teresch-
tenko arose from sick bed to attend
the presentation aod responded with
out notes, expressing great Joy in,
welcoming the commission from
America. He said that RusSia's rev.
olution was based on the wonderful
words uttered by America in 1776.
He read part of the declaration of in
dependence and exclaimed: Russia
holds with the United States thai all
men are created free and equal"

PACE EIGHT
E DTTORIAL NOTES
By j. d. WATSON

pERIIAPS the most amazing chapter of the
present European war was written last
week when the Car of Russia was forced to
abdicate his throne-when the most complete
monarchy gave way to the beginning of a
Democracy that may hasten the end of the
war and bring to the front what is naturally
one Of the greatest countries on the globe.
From now on, the Russian armies are apt
to press the campaign against the Central
powers with vigOr and hereafter there Is not
apt 10 be that sudden reverse that has been
heretofore when the Russian armies were on
the point of complete victory.
The mysterious cause of the Russian re-
verses in the feld-the lack of food supplies
and ammunition for the victorious armies
retreats like that that the Grand Duke Nicho-
las was forced to make after appearing to
have the enemy bagged-the sudden inactivity
Of Gen BrussiloH's army after having taken
100000 Austrian prisoners-the failure to
press on to Bagdad after taking Ezerum-all
will be explained when the history of how
the Gar Nichalos was overthrown is written.
Since the outbreak of the war, it has been
limited that the Russian court was honey
combed with those favorable to Germany
that pro-Germans were doing more for the
Central powers in Petrograd than the Rus
sian armies could do for Russia and her allies
In tie field-that the paralysis Of the military
arm and the suffering of the people from
want Of food was due to incompetency and
corruption fostered by German intrigue.
The Gar was nothing but weakling, and
he was dominated by his wife, who in turn
was the tool of the German influences that
were responsible for the conditions that finally
caused the Duma, and the people, to over
throw The old government

THE .JEFFERSONHAN

The Russian revolution is likely to extend
beyond the borders of Russia-the throwing
off of the Romanof yoke in Russia may
finally result in the throwing off of the Ho-
henzollern yoke in Germany and the Haps-
burg yoke in Austria Hungary.
Already the influence of the peoples up
rising in Russia is felt in the other countries
named, and the humor of the people is not at
all reassuring to the governments.
In Germany, especially, is the murmur of
discomfort becoming threatening to those re-
sponsible for the war on Germany's part-the
independent German press, as we'll as the in
dependent German statesmen, are becoming
holder in censuring the government and de-
handing peace IN order that the German
population may not starye to death to carry
in war that will serve no other purpose, If
victorious than to make the Hohenzollern
family the rulers of Europe, or rather Europe
Hohenzollern dynasty.
At last the German people, perhaps the
most thrifty and progressive nation on earth,
are beginning to realize that the thrift and
development Of generations is all thrown to
the winds by crazy me and God" tyrant
who was willing to sacrifice his people to his
military ambitions.
It is a safe assertion to make. and COM
pliment to the deceived patriotism of the
German people to say that there is not an
other family in the Fatherland containing so
many sons, at the beginning Of the war, with
every one Of the sons in robust health today.
Do not be at all surprised if the Russian
revolution awakes a similar movement in Ger
many and Germany becomes Democracy.
The Hapsburg dynasty will then crumble.
But back to Russia, there is not country
oh IN, o,,I how,
lack of development is due entirely to the OPP
preston of the people and to the fact that

she does not possess warm water seaport
an harbor that is not frozen up for some
months of each year.
With her natural mineral resources de-
veloped she could have supplied the Allied
powers with many of the products for ANNA
ment and ammunition that they had to buy
elsewhere, and which Russia herself bought
elsewhere.
There have been times during teh present
war when Russia could have supplied both
France and Great Britain with wheat, but
she could not get it to them because of lack
of seaports, and the wheat furnished the AL
lied countries would have gone a long way
toward paying the war expenses of Russia.
With the new regime in power, there is no
doubt that Russia will do her part toward
pushing the war to a successful finish, and
Russia will demand, as her part of the spoils,
Constantinople
With Cpnstantinople in her possession, and
the yoke lifted off the people, Russia is des-
tined to become power second to none.
Today Russia is the sleeping giant of
Europe, and once developed and aroused I'M
der any system Of government wherein the
people would have voice she could change
the political aspect of Europe
Not only in Europe may the future Russia
be dominating in1uence-her geographical
position would make her a dominant factor
in Asiatic affairs as we'll as in Europe.
