dicate that rumors of discomfort,
rioting and open revolution which we
have been hearing through round
about sources are not without foun-
dation.
Evidently, the President himself
is very much in the dark, although
naturally possessing lines of in
formation more direct and reliable
than the public in general. Former
President Taft believes that the
time for allied Intervention in Rus
sia is at hand, If we are to prevent
Russia from falling into the hands
of Germany, which is striving hard
to weld her into a toll of war on the
side of the Central Powers. This
view is held by the leaders of the
Cadet party in Russia, who have is
sued a formal request to the United
States government for aid in over
throwing the Bolshveki.
the wisdom of armed force against
Germany through Russia at this
time or he is waiting the proper
moment. If, as appears on the sur
face, the Lenine administration is
on the wane and the Bolshevik gov
ernment about to fall. the moment
of the transfer would appear to be
opportune for offering the new gov
ernment the full power of the United
States in any way that may be neces-
sary to strengthen it's hands, and
to suggest that a vital blow might
be struck by allied troops operating
through Siberia and Russia.
1t is said that a half-million Jap
anese troops are in constant readi-
ness for transportation into Siberia
and these, with division of Ameri-
cans, a regiment or two from Eng
land, France and Italy could be
made so formidable a force that to
prevent it from invading western
Germany enough troops would have
to be withdrawn by the Germans
from the west front to relieve the
pressure there and give the allies a
decided advantage in man-power.
If such an expedition can be en-
gineered without arousing the enmity
of the people OF Russia, which would
be fatal to it's success, it might easily
prove the decisive factor in the win
ming of the war and would provide
a wall behind which the Russian peo-
pie could go about building a new
and stable form of government with
out fear of the undermining influ-
ences of German intrigue and treach-
cry. Preparations should be made
to put such move into hasty execu-
ton with the arrival of a propitious
moment.

ITO every proposed legislative
policy the test should be ap-
Piled: Will it help win the
war?
The Star has been forced to con-
clude that the liquor traffic is a de-
moralizing business. 1t has favored
every measure taken for it's repres-
sion. When the prohibition amend
ment was offered to the Emergency
Agricultural Appropriation Bill this
newspaper, however, delayed COM
ment in the hope OF enlightenment
on the probable effect of the meas
ure on war preparations.
If there was reasonable evidence
that the adoption of the amendment
would hamper the government in the
conduct of the war. The Star was
ready to disregard its own judgment
on the advisability of Immediately
doing away with bad business. So
far that evidence has not been forth
coming, and a Washington dispatch
indicates that the President is not
prepared to ask Congress to defeat
the amendment.
Under the circumstances The Star
believes the adoption of prohibition
for the period of the war would be
as effective a war measure as this
government could take.
The cessation of brewing would
save approximately 40 million
bushels of grain a year for food pur-
poses. This amount saved in the
last year would have been of great
Importance. At time when every
household is called on to save food
it seems absurd to permit the use
of grain for beer. There could be
no greater absurdity than to tell a
man who eats in a public restaur-
ant that he cannot eat more than
two small rolls at meal, but that

A JOINT CELEBRATION

n ONT get it into your head that
we native-born Americans
- have invited the foreign-born
element of our citizenship to parade
with us on the Fourth of July and
that we are doing a very generous
thing in putting them at the head of
the line. o
Not so!
This big demonstration is being
planned at the express request of the
foreign-born citizens of the country,
who in a letter addressed to Presi-
dent Wilson, petitiored him to ask
all native Americans to join with
them in a nationwide jubilee as a
mark of their joy in being counted
citizens of a republic which stands
not alone for it's own freedom, but
for the freedom of oppressed peoples
everywhere.
So it will be a joint celebration,
and most appropriate. too.
With our aviators fighting valor-
ously with the victorious Italian
hosts beyond the Piave, and our men
mingling their blood with those OF
the French, the English and their
other allies on the battlefields OF
France, what is more fitting than that

line of defense or awaiting the call
of the nation to military service, Join

braced by the Declaration of Inde.
pendence and the Constitution of the
United States.
On that day we shall meet our
foreign-born fellow citizens in COM
mon fellowship and accord them the
right of line in the parade as a
token of our welcome to these shores
and of our appreciation of their aid
in the crisis through which we are
now passing. Have you ever thought

The editor of the New York Tri-

column:
Recently we sat in a refreshment

Suddenly tall men in olive drab be-

Coffee Pot For Soldiers
[From the Railway Age1

What is believed to be the largest
coffee pot in the world has just been
completed at the power house of the
Pennsylvania railroad at Front and
Third streets, Long Island City. In
the pot 418 gallons of coffee may be
made every half hour. 1t is for the
use of the canteen section of the
Long Island City branch of the Red
Cross, which has taken upon itself
the work of serving coffee and sand
wiches to the soldiers entraining
and detraining there every day.

Put an End to Booze!
he can drink as much beer as he
(From the Kansas City Starr

he can drink as much beer as he
likes.
Beer making certainly cannot be
called an essential industry. Yet
we permit an army of able bodied
men to engage in it. We permit it
to consume millions of tons of coal
at a time when war industries can
hardly get enough, and when schools
are obliged to close for lack of fuel.
We permit the industry to consume
ice when private households are go
ing on half rations We permit it
to use railroad facilities that ought
to be devoted to useful work.
Is 1t too much of a sacrifice to ask
men to go without their beer?
Why is it more of sacrifice to go
without beer than to go without
wheat bread or sugar? We are all
of us called on to make sacrifices,
even If we do not make the great
sacrifice of going to fight or sending
our sons. What trivial sacrifice
to go without beer?
This is the best time in history to
close an undesirable industry. The
demand for labor cannot nearly be
met. The men who are now working
in breweries and saloons would
never find a more favorable occas-
/ sion to be absorbed into other indus
tries. They could make the transi-
ton now with the least possible in
convenience and hardehip.
The whole booze business is not
merely nonessential. 1t is destruc-
tive. 1t weakens the national eff
cheney. 1t is a bad influence in the
community. 1t is the basis of vicious
politics in Kansas City and in every
other city. 1t has brought distress
and ruin to a multitude of victims.
What reasons can offset these? AS
war emergency measure Congress
is wholly justified in putting an end
! to booze.

"Tlhem Damned Germans"
[From the Kansas CIV Star ]

tFrom the Kansas City Star1
At railroad station in Kansas a
young Mennonite got on the train.
The tears were running down his
cheeks as he sat down next to a
traveller, who inquired what the
trouble was. The story came out
frankly between gulps. Dad had
eighty acres of fine wheat and no
body to get it in. Just at a time
when the boys services were must

were dragging him off to war. Give
him a gun and let him get over to

the responsibility precisely where

ing less than two years old. The
bank started February 10, 1915,
with deposit of S49,073.24, and
with this statement shows an in
crease in less than two years of
$159,413.50. The gross earnings
for the past six months is $6,731.30.
The above figures are remarkable
for bank with a capital of $780,
10000, and not yet two years old.

BIG SALES OF LIBERTY BONDS

On page four of this issue will be
found the statement of the Bourbon
Agricultural Bank & Trust Company.
This is the best statement that this
Bank has ever made and it's deposits
are $1O0,000.00 more than they
were at the same date a year ago,
notwithstanding the fact that the
customers of the Electromagnetic
tural Bank & Trust Co. have sub
scribed and paid for through the bank
1885, 100000 of u. S. Government
Liberty Bonds within the last six
months.
The officials of this bank have been
leaders in the movement to raise
funds for the support of the Gov
eminent and this splendid result
shows the ability of this bank to
handle large transactions and to take
care of the interest Of its customers.
The large capital $200,000.00 with
surplus of $125, 100000 and undivided
profits of $14,455.12 gives the
greatest protection to it's depositors
and enables the Bank to take care
of its customers no matter what con-
1itions may arise. The Bourbon.
Agricultural Bank and Trust Co. has
not only been successful in increas.
ing it's banking business, but within
the last year has added very largely
to its business as a Trust Company
and many large estates have beer
entrusted to its care.
For the first time in the history OF
the banking business in Bourbon
County, the Peoples Deposit Bank &
Trust Company, of Paris, is the
proud custodian of individual de-
posits in excess of One Million Dol
lars.
