The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1919-12-30

Now that the Christmas Of 1919
has come and passed into history with
all the rest Of the nineteen hundred
odd years that have passed since the
event that gave rise to the years
happiest celebration, the minds OF
men and women turn to the new
year and the resolution making"
period arrives.
The fact that the greater part of
these resolutions are broken before
the new year is many weeks or
months old should not deter us from
continuing the practice of forming
new resolves, and we should deter
mine that we at least will be among
those who at the end of 1920 will
have the satisfaction of knowing that
we have faithfully kept the compact
! Wit, ourselves.
Self-denial has ever been the main
theme Of the major part of these new
year resolutions. In those almost for
gotten times, before memorable July
1, 1910, the closing night Of the year
was favorite time for bidding fare
well forever to John Barleycorn and
his allies-the bubbling wine and the
foaming stein.
Ny Lady Nicotine also received
many a sad jolt, from which she re-
covered in due time, and the man
who was loudest in his pretentions
that he was done forever and for aye
with the seductive charm that come
from the weed was in a few months,
or a short time at best, drawing sol
ace from the pipe of briar or meer-
chaum, or from a fragrant Havana,
stogie or cigarette.
OF course there were countless
other resolves that were given more
or less publicity around the festal
boards that groaned and some time
roared because Of the choice viands
and the tempting decanturs and iced
|
pals that adorned the tables, but in
the main those mentioned were prime
favorites.
And self denial was the principal.
Man kind of bankers after punish
ing himself. He feels rather like
hero when he feels that he lis bearing
! up under deprivations of which he
himself is the instigator.
But this New Years Eve there will
be no need of wasting time over
Swearing off" of the cup that
cheers and sometimes inebriates. A
will stronger than our own has
spoken, and the day of the distinc-
ton between the various grades of
drinkers or tipplers is supposed to
have vanished from the earth.
But there is ample room for other
resolves. One that should appeal to
all is that the resolution maker i'm
tends to "get ahead" in 1920. There
are opportunities that may never
come again. The world is just recov-
ering from the most devastating war
that history can recount. The sur
pluses are exhausted in every corner
of the earth. There was never such
a demand for raw materials. Manu-

1t will not do to say that a man

especially if he is not connected with
the government, because his desire
to vote to promote the welfare and

You cannot reconcile the right of
the government to tax a man and
compel him to fight for his country
with a denial of the highest privilege
he is capable of enjoying.

The Costello building. at the south
west corner Of 9Th and G streets, ha
been leased for a term of years by the
local branch of the Knights of Column
bus, to be used as a war service
home. It is understood that the or
ganization will expend something like
$4,000 on the building in the way Of
dormitOries, reading rooms, pool
rooms, shower baths and lecture
rooms The building is four stories
and contains approximately 1900
square feet of floor space.
This activity, now housed at 500 Il
street, known as the knights of Co
lumbus Hall. will revert to the local
bodies of the Knights of Columbus,
where the meetings of the various
branches of the organization were
held prior to that building being used

pairs and additions will be completed

ien. John J. Pershirg, who has been
in almost complete seclusion since he
rode up Pennsylvania avenue at the
head of the famous 1st Division OF
the American expeditionary forces
nearly six weeks ago. will return to this
city tomorrow to assist in the welcome
and entertainment Of the King. Queen
and Crown Prince of Belgium He was
the guest of the royal family during
a visit to Belgium just before his
return to the United States, and had
frequent meetings with King Albert
during the progress Of the war.
Since his departure from this city
over a month ago, Gen. Pershing has
been hidden from public view. except
for occasional appearances in Bos-
ton and the Adirondack region. He
went away for rest and recreation
Europe. and for the further purpose
of preparing his final report OF the
operation of the American expedi-
tionary forces in Europe and their
subsequent rehabilitation. During
his absence from Washington the
members of his staff who did not ac-
company him into seclusion some
where in the United States" have
been arran ging the records and docu-
ments of the victorious European ex-
pcuIltCH IOT tIc use
of the War Department and Congress.
1t was mainly for that purpose that
Gen. Pershing's headquarters was
established in the old land office
building in this city. Gen. Pershing
technically Is still in command of the
American expeditionary forces, de-
spite their practical disbandment.
How long that status will be main
tanned, the Secretary Of War said
recently. cannot be determined "un-
til we discover how long it will be
useful"
In military circles the impression
prevails that when Gen. Pershing
finally reports that the American ex-
peditionary forces have completed the
great work for which they were or
ganized and have been demobilized, he
will be reassigned t2 permanent duty
the United States. 1t is contended
tnat he is legally entitled to serve as
commander-in-chief of the United
States Army under the provisions of
the special act, Of Congress authoriz-
ing his appointment as general of
that act Congress revived the grade
established March 3, 1893. for the
benefit of Gen. Washington.
1t appears, however. that Gen.
Pershing was nominated. confirmed
and commissioned as general, in the
service of the United States" In
making out Gen. Pershfng's commits
sion. the single word general" was
written in the blank space in the
regulation Army commission, before
the words I'm the service Of the
United States printed on the parch-
ment Gems. Grant, Sherman and
Sheridan each held a commission as
general of the Army Of the United
States"
Legal military authorities are quoted
as saying that there Is nothing lack
ing in the wording Of Gen. Pershing's
commission to prevent his assignment

that the good Jew is the better Amer

loyal aid to the Jewish Welfare Board
and Just as literally they stood back
of the Red Cross and other war well
fare agencies. They appreciated the
tremendous Importance Of keeping up
the morale of those that were en-
gagged in the war. They understood
how necessary it was that the young
men find wholesome companionship
and entertainment in camp, educa-
tional advantages and opportunities
to feel the invigorating influence of
their religion. But now that our
war problems are nearing an end.

TIE First Cavalry Brigade was q
part Of the Fifteenth Cayniry Divi-

Cavalry. stationed at Brownsville and
Mercedes and intermediate points,
and the Fourteenth Cavalry, stationed
at Fort Sam Houston.
With the exception Of the trans
fer of Lieutenant Chase and the
