The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1918-04-16

The Mt. Sterling Advocate is in
augurating a mammoth Automobile
and Prize Campaign in which every
body is invited to take part-a le-
gitimate voting campaign in which
the personal efforts of those en-
tered as candidates, and their
friends, will decide their success.
For general scope and extreme
elaborateness, this offer finds no
parallel in the history of country
journalism in this section of Ken
lucky and there is reason to be-
ieve that by the time this great
gift enterprise is well under way,
it will have arrested the interest and
attention of this entire section.
The prizes to be awarded in
this great campaign have been Sc
lected with special care and the
management feels, in offering these
valuable awards to the popular and
energetic people of this section
that it is giving away prizes that
are worth their best efforts.
All the prizes will be given away
absolutely free in exchange for a
little spare time spent in the interests
of this paper. The campaign is not a
something for nothing scheme. In
fact, it is no scheme at all. Neither
is it lottery in any sense of the
word. 1t is a business proposition,
pure and simple. The publishers of
the Mt. Sterling Advocate has gone
to this great expense in buying
these valuable prizes in order to
increase the circulation of The Ad-
vocate, advertise it extensively
through this section and make it a
welcome visitor in every home in
the field it covers.
The big Automobile and Prize
Campaign is planned along lines that
experience has shown afford every
one entering an equal opportunity
for winning. The rules are eminent
ly fair to all. The management of
the campaign will be in hands that
cannot have the slightest reason for
favoring one candidate above an
other. The judges will be well
known business men of this county
who have no interest in any candi-
dates race.
No restrictions have been made
as to who may compete for the
prizes except that they be white
persons of good character. The
Advocate particularly insists that
the candidates be of good charac-
ter as this campaign is one that
people of refinement may enter with
dignity.
The method of nominating and
voting, how prizes will be awarded,
etc, ETC., are explained on this page.

Prizes To Be Awarded

The premiums to be awarded in
the Mt. Sterling Advocates great
Automobile and Prize Campaign
are, without doubt, the greatest
list ever offered in a similar weekly
newspaper campaign in this section
of the state. Not content with CIV
ing value received in the news line,
The Advocate developed a gener-
Gus streak and decided to do some
thing worth while for the benefit of
it's readers and friends, and in
cidently, provide little sensation,
which we are fully convinced will
develop into big one before many
weeks have passed.
The prizes, consisting of a Five
Passenger Ford Touring Car, a
handsome $3.50 Library Suite,
Chests of Silverware, Rings, Watches,
etc. are all valuable and well worth
striving for. Yet they are being Of
fered under the most liberal condi-
tons so it will not be at all hard
to win any of them. Any person
having little ambition and energy
and willing to devote a little of his
or her spare time in the interests
of this paper, has good opportu-
nifty to win.

Washington, Sept. 13.

Washington. Sept. 10.
One of the most important and signifi-
cent moves to be made in Siberia by the
Allies has been announced here. The
remarkable Czecho- -Slovale army, which
has furnished the foundation of the
Allied effort to bring order out Of chaos
in eastern Russia. is soon to be COM
manded by French staff.
The Czecho- -Slovaks have proved them
selves wonderful fighting material
Under the handling of French staff
their military efficiency will grow far
beyond anything they have yet been
able to show.
Major General Jules Janin. of the
French army. selected to command the
Czech army in Siberia. passed through
Washington on his way to Vladivostck.
Heretofore the Czechs have been fight
ing. under the direction Of the Russian
General Dletrichs, who will serve under
Janin. The French staff will operate,
of course, under the supreme direction
OF the Japanese General Otani. Allied
officers In Siberia have been frankly
amazed at the achievements Of the
Czecho- -Slovaks in the face of almost
unsurmountable difficulties.
Janin Knows Russia
General Janin was tactical instructor
at Petrograd before the war and his
experience with the Russian army made
him intimately acquainted with the mill
tary possibilities of that country. At
the beginning Of the war he served at
the French front and shortly afterward
became assistant chief Of staff Of Cen
eral Joffre. He was head of the French
military mission to Petrograd in 1915
and early in 1917 he took command Of

The following semiofficial statement
was obtained here:
THE re-establishment of contact be-

The Pan.German papers naturally
blame the Social Democrats for en-

the junkers are going the right way to
achieve that by rejecting Prussian
