U. S. REJECTS
PROPOSITION
Our Government Will Not Enter
Discussion Until U-Boat Cam
paign Is Revoked.

The United States has fatty re-
jected Germanys offer to discuss
differences between the two nations
while the ruthless submarine cam
paign is in progress.
In a note Monday to the Swiss
minister who on Saturday present
ed orally the German proposal, Sec
rotary Lansing said the United
States does not feel that it can en-
ter into any discussion with the
German government concerning the
policy of submarine warfare against
neutrals, which it is now pursuing,
unless and until the German govern
ment renews its assurances of the
fourth of May 1.-THE Sussex note)
and acts upon the assurances.
The course to be taken by the
United States if Germany compels
the use of force to safeguard Am
erican lives and rights has been de-
termined. 1t was learned authora-
lively after Fridays. cabinet meet
ing that in the event President Will
son goes before Congress again, it
will not be to ask for a declaration
of war but to follow literally the
words of the address in which he
announced the break of diplomatic
relations, and request authority to
use means deemed necessary to pro-
tect American seamen and property.
The President, it was stated, is
as anxious as ever to avoid war
with Germany, but also is as deter
mined as ever that American citi-
gems and ships shall be free to trav-
ell the high seas unmolested. His
next step, if taken, will be to en-
force that right and even then the
issue of war or peace will be with
Germany. Any hostile action will
have to come in the form of an in
reference with an American right.
Details of the Governments plans
are not discussed. 1t is known,
however, that conveying and arm
ing of merchant ships are being con-
sidered.
The Cabinet met with all men,
bers present except Secretary Me-
Adoo. just before the meeting the
majority of the members had attend
ed a session of the Council for Ma
tional Defense, called at the War
Department to discuss mobilization
of the Nations resources as a re-
suit of many offers from manufac-
turing and other companies to place
themselves at the disposal of the
Government in the event of trouble.
After the meeting it was author
atively stated that nothing had yet
happened to change the course pur-
sued by the Government since the
break in relations with Germany.
The cumulative effect of reports of
vessels sunk by German submarines
collected by the State Department,
however, has been to make officials
certain that Germany is indeed pro-
ceeding with her proclaimed policy
of ruthlessness.
The effect of the tying up of ships
in American harbOrs because of
fear that they will be sunk if they
pass through the war zone, is one
of the questions being given care
full consideration. So far as could
be learned there have been no re-

TRADE AT
HOME EDITION
To Be issued In the interest Of the
Development of Mt. Sterling
and Her Citizens.

In the near future the Advocate
will issue a TRADE AT HOME
EDITION, devoted to the interests
Of Mt. Sterling merchants, Mt.

citizens and the residents Of Mont
gomery county generally.
1t has been brought to our atten-
ton that large sums Of money are
sent to the mail-order houses from
this vicinity every week and it is
safe to say that SO Of the ordered
articles could be bought from our
home dealers or ordered through
them. There is probably not one of
these mail-order shoppers who does
not believe in Mt. Sterling. 1t sim
ply does not occur TO him that he is
wronging his fellow citizens and
incidentally himself, his family and
his friends, when he sends his mon
ey away to help build up city
which he may never see and a COM
munity which he cannot hope to en-
JOY.
Mt. Sterling merchants and husi-
ness men are not open to censure.
BY their progressiveness and sub
stantial methods, they have made
Mt. Sterling one of, if not the best,
commercial town of its size in Ken
lucky. They pay taxes and thus
assist in the municipal support.
They erect and improve buildings
and thus raise the valuation of
property generally, yours as well as
your neighbors. They carry good
stocks, az large as our city requires,
selected with careful eye to the
suitability for home trade and with
a sincere desire to please home peo-
pie. They take an interest in you
and in your welfare. Does the mail
order house?
In the TRADE AT HOME EDI-
TON the Advocate will present the
matter of trade cooperation in all
its lights and from all angles. We
shall present to our readers the
many advantages Mt. Sterling af-
fords as a place of residence, the
advancement it has made as Q mu-
nicapility and point out the pleas
ures and benefits her residents may
easily enjoy, solely through the
policy of cooperation.
We shall sci forth the achieve
ments and progressiveness of our
Mt. Sterling merchants, bankers
and business men and shall make
the edition attractive by copious il
lpstrations of our city, her public
buildings and business houses.
To insure the completeness of the
work the Advocate has secured the
services of an experienced journal
list and work upon the edition win
immediately be put under way. We
solicit the hearty cooperation of
our public-spirited citizens, those
who are imbued with civic pride,
who have faith in the home town
and the home people and who are
interested in our civic advancement.

sian Civilian Population
Will Be Provided.
STILL HOPE FOR KERENSKY
Strong Protest Expected to Be
Made Because of Holding
Diplomatic Dispatches.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-Russias s
latest upheaval will not change the
attitude of the American government
toward measures under way to relieve
the conditions in the demoralized
country. This statement. applying
particularly to contracts placed with
money borrowed from the United
States for vast quantities of shoes and
clothing for the civilian population
was the only authorized comment at
the state department today upon the
overthrow of the Kerensky govern
ment at Petrograd.
Official advices from the Russian
capital still are lacking, no word hav-
ing been received from Ambassador
Francis since Tuesday. Apparently
the British and French governments
have not heard from their representa- =
tives so 1t is assumed that the revo-
lutionists in control of the Petrograd
telegraph and cables are holding up
all diplomatic dispatches, an action
certain to draw strong protest
Before Cabinet.
The situation was discussed at to-
days cabinet meeting, but Secretary
Lansing was unable to add anything
to information appearing In the news
pa pers ~ cable received duringtt5e
day from Minister Morris at Stock
holm summarizing dispatches printed
in the Swedish newspapers similar to
those published here showed that
even the Scandinavian countries are
getting no news of what is transpir-
ing in Russia except thru the con-
trolled agencies in Petrograd.

department and war department will
make no announcement as to the
probable effect of the change at Pc
trograd upon relations of the United
States with Russia and the conduct
of the war against Germany.
Still Hope for Kcrensky.
1t is apparent, however, that there
is still lingering hope in the official
mind that the revolution may be To-
Called in Petrograd and that Keren-

other point.
Even failing In this, some of the
administration officials are confident
that before very long out of the pres
ent chaos in Russia will emerge q
sound and stable government.
Secretary Baker voiced this opinion:
II am a great believer in the ability
Of the Russian people to re-establish
themselves. IL there is anything to
be learned by history 1t is that q
great people like the Russians will be
able to find themselves and to find
that order and liberty go hand IN
hand. The Russians, being great peo-
pie. whatever their present difficult
ties, will eventually establish theil
government in proper and orderly
way"

OF QUICK-ACTING POISON
Description OF Powerful Alkaloid

Special to The World.

Special 10 Inc NOrlu.
OKMULGEE, Nov. 9.-One of two
alleged /. w. w. members, arrested
by Chief of Police John o. Lung here
yesterday, had a printed slip in his
pocket describing q subtle poison, the
presence of which could not be de-
tected In human body after death.
The men were arrested on suspicion
and gave their names as Frank Blake
and j. II. Moore. They are held for
investigation. The poison slip reads
as follows:
Pure - Is probably the most
actively poisonous substance with
which we are acquainted and If taken
hypodermically the - is even more
powerfully poisonous than when
taken by the mouth.
"As in the case with most OF the
poisonous alkaloids, does not
produce any decidedly characteristic
post-mortem appearances. There Is
no way to distinguish 1t from other
alkaloids by any reliable chemical
test The physiological effects before
death are all that can be relied upon.
"Owing to its exceeding toxic ma
ture, the smallness of the dose re-
quired to produce death. the lack Of
tests for recognition, - possesses
far more interest to us than most of
the poisons.
'Tt Is one Of the few substances
