MT STERLING KENTUCKY, TUESDAY OCTOBER 3d. 1s17.
U. s. SOLDIERS in TRENCHES

After many weeks of preparation
the American soldiers stationed in
France have seen and are now daily
seeing actual service at the front.
1t was stated in dispatch received
Sunday that the first expedition had
been made by the Americans and
wire entanglements had been sue
cessfully cut and the return made
to our trenches without the loss of
a man. Now that our boys are ac-
tually in the fighting line the prog
ress of the war will be watched with
more interest by those here at home.
The Italian army suffered a Sc
we're defeat few days ago, losing
100000 men and 200 canon. The
army was completely routed. This
is considered 81 extremely vital vic
tory for the Germans and is caus-
ing great uneasiness throughout the
world. II now looks like the war
will be long, hard contest and will
strain this country and its allies to
the very hardest to overcome the
enemy. America, however, has the
men and the money and will never
quit until the "World is Made Safe
for Democracy"

Will START
This WEEK
War Tax Placed on Postal Cards
and Other Mail Matter Goes
Into Effect Friday.

Beginning Friday, Nov. End, there
will be brought home to the people
of Mt. Sterling, as well as else
where, the fact that persons in all
walks of life will be called upon TO
help finance the, war through taxa
ton on various necessities, luxu-
ries and pleasures.
Probably the most far-reaching
phase of the new tax laws which
will become effective Friday morn
ing will be that pertaining to pos
tage. Ordinary letters which have
to be delivered through a postoffice
other than the Office in which the
letter is deposited must bear 3
cents in stamps. Letters intended
for delivery through the postoffice
in which they are deposited, such
as monthly statements by Mt. Ster-
ling firms to be delivered within the
city of Mt. Sterling, will be carried
for the old rate of 2 cents. These
are called "drop' letters. Postal
cards, whether for city or outside
delivery, will have to bear 2 cents.
Postcards, including picture post
cards and advertising matter ordi-
narily carried under the third class
rate, such as "private mailing
cards." will be carried at the old
rate of l cent for each two ounces.
Picture postcards carried at this
rate, however, can contain no writ
ing except the address. Circular
matter carried in open envelopes
under the old third class rate will
be continued at that rate.
(" The ,"drop letter is a, new institu--
ton. At present all letters and
postcards, whether for delivery ont
of the local postofice or at a dis
lance, carry the same rate, but un-
der this law a distinction is made.
The government is having printed
postal cards bearing the 2-cent
stamp, and supply is expected in
time for use by November 2, but
that in the event there is not enough
to meet the demand 1-cent stamp
can be affixed to the old form of
postal card.
Moving picture shows and other
places of amusement as will be seen
from article on another page, will
also be taxed.

FULL DUTY
0versubscribed Amount Allotted to

Roll Of Honor.


Montgomery county certainly did
herself proud in subscribing to the
Liberty Loan and although allotted
100000, she subscribed for 1884,
500. Mr.. J. G. VIM, Of the Mont
,gomery National Bank, was chair
man of this county and it was due to
his efforts and the hearty co-opera-
=ss ;os;;;; and support of the other banks
that such a wonderful showing was
mauc Several days ago word was
received that this county would be
asked to increase its allotment rs
per cent. over the first amount nam
ed and Mr.. VIM Immediately tele-.
graphed that it would do more, and
the total amount above indicates
how much better we did than we
were asked to do. Montgomery
county is in the 4th Federal Reserve
District with the Federal Reserve
Bank at Cleveland, o., and those in
charge OF this district have notified
Mr.. VIM that this county has been
placed upon the roll of-honor. We
should be very proud of the showing
made by this county.

and used to blight the homes and the lives
of Protestant women whose marriages were
perfectly legal under Georgia laws
We did not change our Protestant attitude
in 1908: why did the Catholics change theirs?
Did James r. Randall tell his Protestant
friends that their wives were concubines?
Did Father Ryan do so?
No; they did not.
Pope Leo XIII. published that Catholic
doctrine, just as Plus TX. had done; but the
Protestants did not then know it, and very
few Catholics did.

Why does he evade the issue, and misrep-

hard as those that wrote poetry?
Nobody has denied that Father Ryan com

his output was quite small, while that of Paul

exists for misunderstanding the facts.
The Vets objected to the selection of Bishop

IN his card of March IS, in the Atlanta Con-

tribute to Col James r. Randall, whom he
calls "a star Of the very first magnitude in

him, in 1904, an admiring mention in my
Story of the Old Plantation: he wrote
q grateful acknowledgement and attributed
his Baltimore Reception rendered to him
soon afterward- to my reproducing his
Maryland people for having neglected him.
But Mr. Knight is in error when he says
that Col. Randall composed the music for
maryland, my Maryland"
Just as "Home Sweet Home makes uni
versal appeal through it's sentiment and its
melody, SO does Col Randalls poem: but
John Howard Payne did not compose the
music of "Home Sweet Home" and Col. Ran
dali did not compose that Of maryland, my
Maryland"
Mr.. Knight says, 'But the author of this
renowned air was a Catholic"
AS the air is of European origin, the au-
thor may have been Catholic, but not Col.
Randall.
1t Is a very old serenade-song, heard on
moonlight nights on German lakes, long be-
fore James r. Randall was born.

IN the capital Of South Carolina, publish
ing company whose President is Mr.. A. r.
Gonzales issues a paper, daily and semi
weekly, named The State.
Such title no doubt originally signifed
that the publishers wished to be known as
peculiarly representative of South Carolina.
In recent number of The State appears
an editorial tribute to Roman Catholic priest
who has come into South Carolina to take
charge of papal propaganda and PROSECUTING.

his work in the national capital; and ex

The assertion that no Catholic has written
to The State, denouncing the laws, the GUS

is best answered by saying, that those churches
are not aSSaiZable, either in their laws, their
customs, or their records.
If the Catholics could show that the 7a1oa

class the murder of non-conformists as meri.

If the Catholics could show that the fixed,

Millions Spent on Music.

If expenditure of money is any test,
America can certainly claim the credit
of being a musical country. Accord
ing to an estimate compiled some time
ago by an expert, the United States
spends no less than f120000,000 on
music every year. This is three times
as much as the same country spends
on its army and navy; while ''musicaf
Germany" it is pointed out, spends ten
times as much on its army and navy
as on its music.
In the American total church music
accounts for f10000,000 a year. The
sale of pianos reaches f27,OOO,000, of
organs f2,OO0,0O0, of gramophones and
records f13,O0O,O00 and of sheet music
and music books e., 100000.
