THE WAR SITUATION

At this writing the war situation
is very satisfactory to the allies.
On the western front there has
been no intense lighting for sew
eral days, intact since the last
German drive was halted. We
have been expecting, however, an.
other great German offensive and
both sides are making preparation
for a decisive battle. The enemy
may renew the effort to 90 to
Paris that was checked two or
more weeks ago. But the allies
are prepared to prevent such a
feat.
On the eastern front there has
been much activity. Italy drove
the Austrians back inhicting Sc
we're punishment. The Austrians
admit a loss of over 100000 and
the Italian claim is much larger.
It seems that German troops have
gone to the help of the Austrlans
and this battle may be renewed at
any time.
American soldiers have been
landed on the eastern, front and
will give strength and encourage.
ment to the Italians. British and
French troops are also there. The

cellor, and how well be has served
that high position is matter of
recent history His record as a
chancellor is statewide and need
not be further mentioned here.
AS a private citizen, Judge Rob-
erts has ever stood for the highest
and best and purest 10 our state
and national life. He has ever
been the champion Of the church,
home and the school and the ideals
and principles underlying them.
Ia every forward movement, in
everything that tends to elevation,
the happiness, the betterment Of
the people, Judge Roberts has al
ways been in the forefront, And
he is no trimmer or time server.
He fights in the open and always
hits bard. Recently, in the various
war activities, he has given his
time, his money and his talents TO
the cause of justice, liberty aud
civilization. His patriotism is not
only unquestioned, but most com
mendable. While Judge Roberts
would spurn the idea of parading
or exploiting his loyalty for sell
fish ends, or try to use his patriots
ism as a political asset, III quiet,
dignihed, unpretentious way he
has done his duty ID the pending
crisis and does not claim any credit

even though Judge Roberts mod
esty and sense of propriety will
not permit him to boast of his pa
triotism Perhaps the most con
spicnous traits in Judge Roberts
character are his fidelity to duty
and his ambition to serve. His
work on the bench, serving the
largest chancery division in the
state, demonstrated not only his
willingness to work, but his Ca
pacity for hard LABOR. He held
more special terms and did more
work than any chancellor in the
state and the records speak for
themselves.
Judge Roberts, being man of
the people and from the people.

WAR VS.. OPPORTUNITY

What is Mt. Sterling and its citi-

ment? Our citizens have respond
ed splendidly with their money, that
is true, but this is year when we
should respond cheerfully with our
sweat, just plain sweat, perspira-
ton if you please.
Is the citizenship of Mt. Sterling
any better or worse than the citi-
zenship of the metropolis of our
state the city of Louisville2
The city of Louisville, KY, last
year produced upon its garden
plots and vacant lots two million
dollars worth Of garden truck zap

set her task at just double that
amount, will she be successful in
her undertakings Most certainly
yes. Why9 Because she is engaged
in a just and righteous cause, and
she is trying, are WEI The concen-
sus of opinion, as expressed by the
great thinkers of the world is, that
this war will be won by man pow

power must have good pure whole
some food to sustain it.
The city of Louisville is just 90
times as large as we are in point OF
population, can you suggest
reason why, Mt. Sterling should not
and will not raise by cultivation in
its gardens and vacant lots one
sixtieth as much as the city OF

WITH THE AMERICAN
FORCES IN PICARDY. May IS.
-(By mail. 1.-THE staff of the
American forces In Picardy knows
what officers are in command of
the men whose road to Paris Is
barred by Yankee fighters.
The American staff officers
know when the German soldiers
have their meals, when supplies
are brought up. how long each
individual command remains in
the line. where their rest camps
are, where their artillery Is con-
centrated, and in fact every detail
OF the German organization.
II is the business of the intel
llgence department to find these
things out.
But how does II do it?
The answer Is the reason for
raids.
Must Get Germans.
Only Germans know the things
that the American staff must
know for successful operation.
The thing to do, then. is get Ger
mans. Raids, therefore. are fol

(By James Is. Connolly in Col

There was certain young Of
ficer-John Chisholm call him
who played poker occasionally.
He commanded a "flivver," which
is the service term for the smaller
class of destroyers, the 750-ton
ones.
In the navy there are plenty Of
people who will tell you that they
never built destroyers which keep
the sea better than that same lit
tie flivver class. Young Captain
Chisholm of the 1923 was one.
One morning, having conveyed
fleet of merchant ships safely
to their port, the 323 was one of
group of destroyers making the
best of their way to their base
port. Officers and men who have
been hunting U-boats for a week
or so do not like to linger along
the road home.
Rough; Grows Rougher.
So 1t was every young captain
giving his ship all the steam she
could stand and let her belt. 1t
was moderately rough when they
started. 1t grew a bit rougher.
Chisholm in the 1913 was going
along at 20 knots when a fellow
he very well knew came along in
his big 1000-ton destroyer. Her
nose hauled up on the quarter OF
