ANOTHER CALL
FOR MEN
Thirty to Forty Are Expected to 60
From This County About
May 25th.

The next call for enlisted men will
take from 30 to 40 men from this
county, which will leave the al list
rather small, there being only 72
white men and Al negroes left. The
men will leave for camp beginning
May 25. 6,311 men will be Ken
tucky's quota, and they will all be
sent to Camp Taylor.
Americas second-year war pro-
gramme is more ambitious in It's
scope and in its pOtentiality than
even the War Department itself
dreamed of six or eight months ago,
and while the details have not been
given out or even laid in full before
the committees of Congress, the i'm
pOrtant facts about the Governments
plans became known Saturday thru
official announcements and informal
conversations with Secretary Baker.
Already the officials of the War
Department have begun spreading
the programme before the Military
Affairs Committee of the House. 4
week or more will be required to go
into the important details, but enough
has already been revealed to show
how powerful Il factor this country
is to be in the future course of the
war. Here are the high points in the
military plan for the coming fiscal
year:
First-An appropriation Of $15,-
O00,000,O00 in the regular army ap-
preparation bill, to be used in financ-
ing heavy artillery and Notifications.
Second - An appropriation of
about $2,5OO,OOO,OOO for heavy ar
tillery and Notifications, making IN
aggregate expenditure through the
War Department of at least $l7, 800
600, 900.
Third-An increase in the army -
approximately 100000 men, mean
ing the call to arms during the next
twelve months of near 100000.
FOurth-The dispatch OF at least
100000 men to France, including
those already there, and the main
tenance Of the remainder in this
country as II replacement service.
Fifth-Legislation which will give
the President power to call an un-
limited number of men for military
service, not only during the coming
year, but during the remainder of
the war.
Sixth-Enlargement Of the pre-
sent environments and training camps
to capacity of something like
!, 100000, but not the construction or
any new environments except per-
haps a few concentration or embark
alton camps.

A man once stood upon London
Bridge-'round his neck was fasten-
ed a tray upon which were laid sew
eral hundred golden sovereigns,
which he was offering for sale at
the price of penny-a-piece. All
the afternoon he stood there without
effecting a single sale, until at length
workingman purchased one of the
COINS, thinking it would be an excel
4 lent toy for his child. When he
reached home, he discovered the value
of the coin and hastened back to buy
more, but the vendor had gone and
he had lost his opportunity.
In both districts in the big sub
scription campaign, a similar state
of affairs prevails. While we are rc-
ceiving many coupons sent in by our
subscribers for the various candi-
dates, only a few candidates have
yet made up their mind to commence
their campaign and at the present
time, we have many more prizes than
Z active workers. Numerous candidates
>tive workers. Numerous candidates
will realize too late the unusual op-
portunity they are literally throwing
away, of possessing one of the valu-
able prizes offered in the big gift
distribution.
just think of it-an automobile
valued at nearly $4,000 or any one
of the hundreds of dollars in other
valuable prizes offered in the big
prize competition for the least ex-
penditure of trouble. Valuable
prizes that are worth your very best
efforts and yet they are actually go
ing begging for lack of active can
didates to compete for them. Don't
be Rip Van Winkle-awaken to
your opportunities-don't let this
lifetime opportunity pass by with
out taking advantage of it.
Now are YOU-a candidate who
has been nominated in this big race
or who is eligible, going to let an un-
usual opportunity like this pass by
without even making an effort to
take advantage of it9 Are you going
to acknowledge to yourself and to
the friends who are watching your
standing in the paper, that You lack
The Mt. Sterling advocate., 1918-05-07

ambition to even make an effort to
win? Those friends who nominated
you and who, perhaps, have been
clipping the coupons from the paper
and sending them in for you certain
ly had confidence in your ability to
win or they would not be helping you
Those who are on the list and those
who have been thinking of entering,
could not pick a better time to do
so than right now. The biggest and
best vote offers of the campaign have
now been announced and thousands
of extra votes are given free on all
subscriptions.
1t will take very little effort for
a new candidate to gain a lead. A
one year new subscription now brings
5400 votes; an old one year SUD-
scription brings 27OO votes. Two or
three subscriptions will bring a can
didate right up among the leaders.
When your friends see that you are
going to make an active race, you
will find that they will gladly give
you splendid support in your cam
paign.
Several new nominations have been
received the past week and quite
number of names have been cut off
the list. If we have through error,
cut off the name of any candidate
who wishes to try for the prizes, we
would ask them to notify us at once.
1t should be understood that the
fact that even though candidates may
have votes to their credit, it does
not necessarily signify that they are
making an active race. In many
cases, the clipped coupons from the
paper are being sent in for candi-
dates who have not even attempted
to commence their campaign.
Beginners in the big race will be
to three Special Ballots
good for 10000 extra votes on the
first three subscriptions which they
send in before May 2lst These may
be either new or renewal.
Votes are positively not transfer
able. Whep contestant drops out
of the race, she loses all votes to
her credit. Votes cannot be bought
they must be clipped from the paper |
