By WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD. (United Press Staff Correspondent) BERNE, Switzerland, Oct. 12. (by mail to New York.)—Now that there is no censor between me and the United States, I can write that the allies are giving the newspapermen all the best of it, except when it comes to censoring cables. There are strict rules, it is true, about keeping too close to the scene of action, but the punishments are not severe and any newspaperman who paints them as such needs a sense of humor or deliberately exaggerated. "I was led into—chained to a German prisoner, with the crowd hooting art me for aspy," one "war correspondent" told me. I suppose that he published it that way too. It just happened that this occurred in the town where I was being held myself and I saw this young man "led in." As a matter of fact he pressed through the town to headquarters walking beside a very courteous French officer, who later requested him to take his bicycle and leave the place. Now that I can slip it by the sensor, let me tip it off to America's millions, who, perhaps, are worrying a trifle about how terrible American newspapermen are being treated: "Don't fret. Most of us will get through somehow, thank you!" "If you, as an onlooker, want to get out from behind one side in this conflict and get over behind the other, there's no use of trying to break through the lines. You've got to go out of bounds and follow the sidelines. And this brings me to Switzerland, with a railroad ticket in my pocket for Vienna. I have swung around the right end. "The last soldier I talked to who wore the uniform of France was a black little Senegalese who had a bullet in his right lung and had been sent back home. His jacket was still bloody. Two other wounded Senegalese were with him. He was tough, and half drunk. Though an Arab he spoke Spanish and when he discovered that I spoke Spanish, too, he cut loose against the French in the presence of a half dozen Frenchmen, who could not understand. "We've been treated like dogs," he said. "The food was scarce and abominable. There was no Red Cross to take care of us and we were all suffering in the field from cold. That man over there went crazy," he added pointing to a comrade. The man made some very unusual sounds, afterwards, but perhaps he was only speaking Arabic. This little "last soldier of the allies" during our talk opened his shirt with one hand and took off his fez with the other. In one hand he held out a charm of Christian creed. With the other he grasped an odd little tuft of hair on the back of his, otherwise, well trimmed head. "My father is a Mussulman," he said. "And if I came home without this tuft of hair he'd say, 'My son has gone back on his religion.' And if I didn't wear this charm back my mother would say, 'My son is no longer a Christian.' So I wear them both." "But what are you really?" I asked. "Mussulman," he said. "I don't like the way you Christians kill each other." He tucked the charm away, flatten- Conditions In Various States Are Discussed by Attorney G. G. Battle, of New York. "The convicts working on the roads in Iowa haev a status differing from that of the convicts in the prisons of practically all other states," said George Gordon Battle, the distinguished New York attorney who appeared on behalf of the national committee on prisons and prison labor in a suit to test the constitutionality of the contract system of convict labor in the state of Rhode Island. "In Iowa the men working on the roads receive $2.50 per day for their labor, they themselves paying for their keep and clothing, and being at Liberty to send the balance to their dependent families. They are still under restriction, but their right to wage lifts them out of the slavery status into that of state wards. "Slavery is prohibited by the constitution of the state of Rhode Island without the exception as to punishment for crime found in the federal and most of the state constitutions. The committee therefore claims that the statute authorizing the state board of supply and control to let the labor of the prisoners by contract is in conflict with the state constitution, and the contract therefore is legal. "The action of many states in placing these prisoners who can be trusted out to work on the roads is in line with this forward movement. On the roads the prisoner can do work which has value great enough to permit the payment of the wage. Iowa has proved the plan practical; West Virginia, New Jersey and other states are successfully passing through the experimental stage, while many more states will enact legislation permitting such work during the coming sessions of the legislature. "The national committee on prisons and prison labor." Mr. Battle concluded, "stands firmly behind this road work when it is conducted under conditions fair to the prisoner and the free workingman, and hopes in the next few years to see 'honor men making good roads everywhere throughout the country.'" GOVERNOR AWENDS HIS PROCLAIMATION Cattle May Come Into State if Carried Only in Disinfected Cars. Governor Hatfield has issued a proclamation amending his recent proclamation against the entry of live stock into West Virginia because of the foot-land-mouth disease. The new order permits the entry of cattle into the state if it is carried in disinfected cars, from the states not under quarantine, and if it passes the inspection imposed by West Virginia at the point of entry.

SATURDAY. DIARY WRITTEN ONEIRING LOVE Shepherd Tells of What Transpired Along the Austrian Line—Passed by War Bureau. BY WILLIAM G. SHEPHERD (United Press, Staff, Correspondent) COLLEGE PRESS STAIR CORPORATION. PRZEMYSL, Oct. 29. (By mail to New York. ) (Passed by the war press bureau.)—This is any diary of yesterday, which I spent on the Austrian firing line, twelve miles from here: 7:45 a. m.—under the escort of Col. John and Captain Mlakich, we start for the front. "We" included Jober Quiney Adams, the great American painter, Robert W. Dunn, of the New York Evening Post, who has just arrived, and myself. We bundled into one of the typical springless basket bodied Galician wagons. 8:00 a. m.—We are on the main road leading from the great fortification of Przemysl to the hills where the artillery firing is heaviest. At 8:10 we pass the cholera hospital and five minutes later we pass through the gate of the inner fortifications. The road is covered with wagons. Two tightly packed lines of them are going in our direction. Another line on the left side is going toward Przemysl with the sick and wounded. The steam from the thousands of sweating horses seems like a thin mist along the sight is so wonderful that even the wounded men keep their on it. The sick men, home with the green faces and loose, opened mouths of cholera victims, hang their heads, half dead. 8:15 a. m.—On both sides of the wall, on ploughed farm land, huge bodies of recruits are training. They have stamped the wet earth into a block, smooth shining field that glitters like jet. 8:30 a. m. —Among the thousands of sights, we catch a glimpse of a pig, riding on a seat like a soldier. He has been tied there to keep him from running away from dinner, though he will be some one else's meal, not his own. 8:35 a. m. —We pass the outer line of fortifications. The trenches are lined and flared with willow or straw mattings. As far as our eyes can reach, to our right, and left, stretch small "forests" of posts, hilly-tinged post high, with barb wire hung and tangled between them. "Your wife?" I asked. "No, but I 9:10 a. m.—Our wagon is springless. Now I know why all the wounded men I have seen in the carts have such strained faces. 9:35 a. m.—The road dips into a valley. On both sides stretches an immense camp of tents and covered wagons. The smoke of thousands of fires hangs over it all. Mud, men, flags, smoke, horses, wagons, piles of bread, harness, rifles form a wierd and indecisible picture that covers hundreds of acres in the valley. This is a reserve camp. 9:45 a. m.—We take a trip on foot through the camp. "Heilo, there, you American!" I hear a man call from a covered "prairie schooner." He shows me a letter he has just written. It is addressed to Helen O. Reese, 1300 Calvert street, Baltimore, she would be," he replied. He is Lieutenant Carl Hoffman, of the 11th army corps and so handsome and big that I'll recommend him as a husband to any unmarried girl. 9:50 a. m.—A spherical balloon, a dirigible balloon and two aeroplanes are soaring or darting about above the hills. 10.00 a. m.—A soldier is leaning against the wall at the gateway of a convent, but the convent is only a AUTHORIZED USER "Werwaerts publishes a scathing protest against the lack of financial support extended by the government to soldiers' wives in Germany and Austria. In the latter country divorced women living on alimony are not entitled to support during the war. "Sometimes it takes weeks before assistance is given to soldiers' wives in Germany. There is increasing discontent among the poorer classes, and corresponding misery. The Socialist paper challenges the governments at Berlin and Vienna to put an end to this inhuman proceeding." heap of broken brick and stone. The Austrian soldiers have razed it because it obstructed the view from the forts. The soldier has only the ruin to guard and he evidently considers his gask a bore. 10:20 a.m. We cross a narrow gauge railroad track laid over ploughed farms. It is an artillery railroad. The cars are very small but horses pull them more rapidly than wagons. There is a string of cars across the horizon. They are feeding the artillery in the hills two gullies away, with schrapnel shells. The railroad to Sanok runs through this farm and when we pass the depot of Nermanowice we see wounded and sick men lying all about the platforms. They are waiting for trains which will carry them back to the Red Cross hospitals. 10:30 a. m. —The sound of firing is incessant and huge in volume. The Austrian batters fire one gun at a time. The Russians are firing salvos. "One, two, three, four, five, six," go the Austrian howitzers. "Brass rr" go the Russian pieces all firing at one time. Before us are hills covering miles of territory; from hill top to hill top and from valley to valley the battle is raging. "How can a nun paint a battle like this?" asks Adams, who has just finished a picture of the Emperor of Austro-Hungary, in seven sittings, and who usually isn't stalked by important assignments. 10:35 a. m. Many wounded have passed us in wagons. I'll never paint war pictures again of men going into swords," said Adams. "That man with the green twisted face on that wagon, suffering from cholera is a more tremendous picture of war than all the exploding cannon I can paint." In the midst of all the life and activities and movement, the man dying before our eyes. There was no one to care for him. His wagon was held in the endless stream and it must continue, whether it carried only a sick man or a dying man or a poisonous green corpse. 10:40 a. m.—Three small deer run across the road ahead of us. There are thousands of soldiers hereabouts, all with rifles and good meat is not any too common, but the laws against poaching are imbued in the peasantry of Europe and these deer on the battlefield are probably the safest of all living things. Battles have waged on this ground for weeks and thousands of men and horses have been killed; the hungry Russians have once held this ground, but here are the three baby deer safe and sound. 11 a. m.—We come to a wide, shallow creek. In tents on a hillock beside the road is the corps commander and his staff. A network of field telephone wires, the nerves of the army, stretch out from the hillock and run off among the tree tops in the distant hills. VOL. 33 NO. 40. THE MOUNTAINEER SHARING BENEFITS THE MOUNTAINEER SHARING BENEFITS Those Receiving Mining Education Are Being Greatly Helped In Their Work. A well known coal operator of the smokeless fields of West, Virginia, who is enthusiastic regarding the university extension work for the educational uplift of the mining-agricultural communities of the state, says that the scores of children who are now receiving advanced education in the mining camps of his section are by no means exclusively from the homes of the miners, but they come from the homes of the native mountaineers as well. With faces beaming with health and ambition these rugged little mountain climbers are there to equal, if not excel, the newcomers, and there is a good chance, too, for the gratification of this ambition, for the mine development has created a market for everything the fertile mountain side can produce, and the mountaineer is now numbered among the well-to-do classes, due to a large extent to the mine commissary, where his produce can always be exchanged for cash. In addressing the mine owners of West Virginia a few years ago, Thomas Nelson Page spoke a few words of commendation for the mountaineer of the state, and predicted that the hunter and gatherer of ginseng, when brought into contact with the capitalist, whose millions within a brief span of years have made the Mountain state almost the leader among the coal producing commonwealths of the country, would develop surprising qualities and prove a worthy descendant of the Jamestown ancestor who forfeited home and happiness to breathe the air of freedom in the new world. And time is proving that the distinguished author and diplomat possessed the ability to see into the future and predict the happenings which have brought West Virginia to the front at such a rapid pace. The phenomenal mine developments in the New River, Virginian and Poebentas districts have not only produced the most wonderful steaming fuel in the world, but are rapidly producing a citizenship of which any state may be prued. MR. FELKER BUYS IN PARKERSBURG Valuable Real Estate and May Locate In That City Says, The Sentinel. (Parkersburg Sentinel.) A real estate deal of considerable proportions was closed here today when the deeds were passed for several pieces of valuable property, the consideration being in the neighborhood of twelve thousand dollars. Col. S. S. Felker, Martinsburg, who had been here frequently on a visit to his son Guy Felker of the internal revenue office was impressed with Parkersburg and its future and he decided to invest here, probably with a view of later taking up his residence in this city. In the deal he secured the large and commodious brick residence on Murdoch avenue, which is now occupied by Bishop W. W. Weekley, and a block of lots on Park avenue, opposite the City Park.

SATURDAY DECEMBER 5. 1914 The idea of a set of blockheads in trying to make good, running this government heels over-head in debt, and to get out the best it can, has levied a war tax on every imaginable thing, compelling the poor laborers to pay it Whoever heard of a war tax when no war exists? Every living laborer ought to revolt. The absurdity of some office holders getting 8,10 and 100 thousand dollars annually, and then allowing heavy and unnecessary taxes to be put upon the poorly paid wage earners --- Charles Town hasn't a more valuable and respectable citizen than Mr. John J. Dixon. He is one of its best mechanics; has made and saved money; has a fine and modern home with every conceivable improvement in it; and a wife fit to serve a king—in short the home is a dove cove. His uncle who left Charles Town in the early forties for California got immensely rich, and beside a neat fortune, he had made and sent to his nephew, John J. Dixon, one of the finest gold chains and watches in America—worth at least a thousand dollars. --- Every whipstitch nowadays, something goes into print and comes from gossiping lips against Catholism. They may be wrong as to the true worship of religion, but they are united the world over in loving and helping humanity. I would rather be and die a Catholic doing as Paul did, and thus face God, than to boast of being a protestant and hate humanity for no other reason than God's sun and climate have curled hair and blackened skins of those whose hearts beat in unison with all mankind, and have in war and peace been brothers lovable. --- The Pioneer Press has never surrendered its contention for every right vouchedsafe by the constitution of this country to the lowest and blackest of God's creation and God forbid it ever should. While there are many things William Monroe Trotter has done out of accord with it, it extends its hand to him and says: "well done good and faithful servant." Mr. Trotter's words were not insulting. The trouble grew out of the fact, that he pressed the President a little too hard on he raw, and like a sore back horse, he had to squirm. Our rights are ours to enjoy only by fearless agitation and contention, and the party or parties who are too cowardly to do both, are undeserving of their rights. We fought for them and why not talk for them, for "peace hath her victories, no less renowned than war." SEEMINGLY IMPORTANT. Walking over from Shenandoah Junction to Charles Town recently, we stopped to see an old friend, Mr. Robert Lewis, who works for Mr. C N. Starry, who lives a mile north of said town. During our conversation we wanted to know if hog cholera was damaging him. "No!" was the reply. The matter then got under discussion, and we are frank to say, that Mr. Starry's theory is plausible, and if enforced, will rapidly prevent the spread of the dread disease. The real cause of hog cholera he lays no claim of knowledge, but for its spread after started he does, and it is: that buzzards carry it from place to place in their feathers, on their feet and by their droppings. Whenever one goes to his farm it is run off, just what all farmers should do. We firmly believe that the buzzards are as dangerous as fleas and flies, and not only convey disease to hogs but human beings as well. Bury every dead thing and keep buzzards from your premises. A GLASS-COFFINED DEVIL When slavery was in its glory, a man who owned a multiplicity of slaves and whose name was Vaughn, delighted to stand on his porch and witness his army of Negroes—male and female—old and young—going to work. It so thrilled and filled his shriveled soul until it no doubt, felt like the Kaiser's—the divinely decreed ruler of the world. Forgetful of his fluffy and tlubby soul, his future glory centered into the squeeres, requests, namely that when he died, he wanted to be buried in a glass collin, standing upright, so he could eventually be in a position to overlook "my niggers going to work." He was so buried and any one going to Shawsville Va. can see the human devil encased in a glass collin, looking, if he can see, not to his slaves going to work, but to Negroes owning hundreds of thousands of acres; worth millions of dollars; and billions of dollars worth of moral and educational worth, and a "colored man owning his farm." Looks like the bottom rail is on top. Natural liberty is God's gift to the whole human family. That the mass is only half men and women is true, because slavery outraged and robbed them of the other half. What a blazing shame, nay curse, for a country like this, best saturated for health, wealth and climate in the world, and that has used, abused and worn threadbare the Negroes' womanhood and manhood, and now in their unprecedented struggles to regain all that, has been lost and go on to perfection, they meet on every hand a dirty ship in the face. On the railroad they—so if frence how well educated and refined, are forced into filthy cars, or parts of cars, and though charged the same and their money taken and placed with the whites, they are not allowed in Virginia and other Southern states to buy tickets from the window that whites do. Here in Martinsburg, a Republican County, they can't go to trashy shows unless they go into galeries. Nor can they get a drink of soda water. They make the bread, make up the beds, wash the clothes, the dishes and cook but must only eat in kitchens; and when sick and die, they are naked that they can't be decently buried among the city's dead. Great God what a shame, and O! God how long? And the worst o all, these afflictions are endorsed by the white churches. Blithed be the hands and passed be the tongues that praise and point to a just God as Christians, and treat the Negroes as is done in America. We plainer and plainer foresee the clash of arms on this continent. Come it must and no earthly power can stop it. Leopold caused as much murdering and suffering in Africa, as Belgium has gotten in return so just is God. Lincoln the ideal man of the world—the lover and savior of mankind, declared that every drop of blood drawn from the black man's back by the white man's lash, had to be taken by the sword, before the war of the rebellion ended, and we believe that drop for drop settled that terrible debt; and Oh! God doth then know the blood drops of the men, women and children of your climatic coloring—first in Africa and second in America since 1865? If you reckoned with the master class for the stripes and blood for a period of 248 years of slavery, what will be your crushing and terrible finality in pay for the horrors of America's best warriors, best laborers—best in mercy and forgiveness and whose highest ambition is to be the best of men and women? Our prayer is: "Peace on earth; good will to men," but if prayer is too weak because of sun to pray about this love and peace—let shot and shell bring it, and the hotter the war, the sooner peace.

EXPECT BERLIN TO FREE AMERICAN Washington Believes Bright Will be Released on Proving His Citizenship. WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.—Acting Secretary of State Lansing has instructed Ambassador Gerard at Berlin to investigate the case of Edward Bright, an American citizen and graduate of Columbia, who is supposed to be in jail, charged with being a British spy. Officials of the state department say they believe that Bright would be released as soon as his American citizenship was established. Bright, an American scholar in Goettingen, was arrested about Oct. 15, according to a statement of Mrs. Bright in New York. Mrs. Bright and children left Goettingen shortly before the war broke out and expected Mr. Bright to join them in England. Since her departure Mrs. Bright has not seen or heard of her husband directly. Through a friend she was advised of the detention of her husband by the German authorities. THE BRITISH AIM AND WAR MOTIVE Discussed In the December Number of American Review of Reviews. There appears a unity of purpose and conviction in Germany, in this fateful contest, that is testified to from all sources, and that now seems to be conceded beyond the possibility of contradiction. Women as well as men, social democrats as well as the military caste and the aristocrats, business men and scholars,--all Germans profess to believe that the cause o. "the Fatherland" is righteous. It is unfortunate that the Germans are not able to see that the English also believe themselves to be engaged in a righteous cause. It is the common belief among Germans that England is taking part in this war with the deliberate and cunning object of crippling Germany as a commercial competitor. We are not discussing what the respective governments assert or believe, but rather that which is the belief of the great mass of honest, well-meaning people. Just as it is true that the Germans have persuaded themserves that they are fighting a war for their freedom of opportunity as a nation and race,—and in a sense for their very existence,—even so the people of Great Britain, on their part, believe that they are fighting for the establishment of certain principles of right and justice, without which there can be no further security in the world.—From"The Progress of the World," in the American Review of Reviews for December.

PETROGRAD, Dec. 1. On the basis of reports received in Petrograd from Hungary, it is stated here that the Austro-Hungarian casualties to date amount to 19,090 officers and 900,000 men. "Fighting on the Russo-Prussian front is turning advantageously for the Russian side," telegraphs a correspondent of the Army Messenger "Our cavalry has dispersed the enemy who in retiring is abandoning his munitions of war. The energetic pursuit of our forces prevents the Germans from taking up the position which they had prepared for their use in the event of a retreat." Referring to the operations in Galicia, the Army Messenger says: "All of our operations in Galicia are ending successfully for us. We continue to push the Austrian army in the direction of Cracow. In spite of the intense cold, which is delaying our offensive, we are advancing victoriously. "Several of our contingents already are abreast of Cracow, the defenders of which are being turned on the south side. The morale of our troops is excellent." Six hundred prisoners, seven guns and many wounded fell into Russian hands in yesterday's fighting to the west of Lowicz, where the Russians took ten miles of German trencher between Glowno and Sobota, according to information received through trustworthy sources. AUTOS FRANCE SEIZED USED FOR JOY RIDES AUTOS FRANCE SEIZED USED FOR JOY RIDES Men Who Dodge Duty at Front Appropriate Machines Taken By Government PARIS, Dec. 1.—Owners of fine automobiles, costing in some cases several thousands of dollars, felt a wave of patriotism when the cars were requisitioned by the government at one-fourth their value or less. Now they have learned that the finest cars were not usually sent to the fighting line, but were used by officers "embusque," a word given a revised or broadened definition by ev-Premier Clemenceau. An embusque, he says, is "an individual that public danger calls to arms and who does not experience sufficient combativity to get within range of the enemy's guns." In every place where there was red tape, wherever there was a comfortable requisitioned motor car to drive, or a Red Cross ambulance to pilot, guards to furnish, reports to write or to carry behind the lines, sick to help, funds to raise, the ambusquers swarmed during the first three months of the war. They were easily recognized, for their were the finest cars and their uniforms were spike and span. But they are rapidly becoming less numerous. Minister of War Millerand spoiled their rest with an order requiring every officer not originally incorporated in an auxiliary service to rejoin his corps at once. CONVICTS HAVE MUSIC WITH MEALS CONVICTS HAVE MUSIC WITH MEALS LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 1. After today prisoners at the Nebraska penitentiary will not have to eat their meals in silence, as has been the rule during the years since the penitentiary was started. Warden Fenton has granted permission for the convicts to converse quietly with their neighbors at the tables, provided they do not abuse the privilege and become noisy. The prisoners expressed great pleasure when the new rule was announced by the warden, and through a spokesman the prison officials were notified that the men were apprecia- MY CUSKER FOUND GUILTY OF MURDER in the Second Degree At Hagerstown Late Saturday Afternoon. Claudia McCusker, of Hancock, was Saturday evening found guilty at Haerstown by a jury of murder in the second degree for killing Justus Roman, also of near Hancock, four years ago last summer. The verdict was a great surprise, as many persons had thought the long time which had ubed since the commission of the one would be a great factor in McCusker's favor. For more than four years, and it was testified during the trial that McCusker and Roman had any times viewed to kill each other. The McCusker and Roman families have been bitter enemies for some years McCusker was a fugitive from justice. He was seen by a Hancock as dead near Greensburg, Pa., last summer, and this led to his arrest. Judge M. L. Keedy, who presided at the trial, did not sentence McCusker Saturday evening. Cotton and cotton manufactures comprised more than one-fourth of the entire value of domestic products exported from the United States to foreign countries during the last quarter century, their total for that period being 9,384 million dollars out of an aggregate of 35,739 million for all articles. Raw cotton exports in the period from 1890 to 1914, according to figures issued by the department of commerce through the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, were valued at 8,676 million dollars, having increased from 251 million in the fiscal year 1890 to 610 million in the fiscal year 1914. Cotton manufactures in the same period showed a total export of 708 million dollars, having increased from 10 million to 51 million in 25 years. Europe took practically all the raw cotton exported from the United States in earlier years, though more recently Japan has taken considerable quantities. In the fiscal year 1912 the total exports of American cotton to Japan exceeded 250 million pounds and in 1914 were 177 million. American cotton goods, on the other hand, have been exported chiefly to Asia and North America and in smaller amounts to South America, Europe, Oceanica and Africa, in the order named. While Asia exceeded North America as a market for cotton goods made in the United States when the aggregate for the last 25 years is considered, North America is now the leading market, that section of the world having taken over 40 per cent of the exports of the last fiscal year. A very large proportion of the cotton manufactures exported from this country consists of cloths, sent during the fiscal year 1914 chiefly to the following countries and sections: To China 80 million yards; the Philippine Islands, 86 million; the Central Americas Republics. 36 million; Cuba, 24 million; Haiti. 23 million; Canada, 21 million; Aden, 18 million; British West Indies, 15 million; India, 14 million; Colombia, 14 million; Santo Domingo, 11 million, and Chile, 10 million. Europe as a whole took 7 million yards; South America, 41 million; Oceanica, 95 million; Asia, 125 million; Africa, 9 million, and North America, 138 million. Imports of cotton during the last quarter century were valued at 259 million dollars, being chiefly from Egypt; while cotton manufactures during the same period showed a total import value of 1,186 million dollars, represented in large measure by laces, embroideries, and similar articles made in France, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, and the United Kingdom. tive and would not abuse the privilege. Another innovation introduced by the warden is music every day during the noon meal. This is furnished by the prison orchestra. LITERALLY SHIP LOAD OF WISERY Cargo of Belgian Women and Babies on Their Way to a New Home. ON BOARD THE "SALVADOR." Oct. 27. (By mail to New York)—This is literally a ship load of misery. We have on board 2,000 Belgian-women and babies, with a sprinkling of old men and boys bound for La Palice where the French government is preparing to take care of them. All about me, on the rusty deck of this huge iron tramp steamer, are the war's outcasts. Each is carrying a small bundle none much bigger than might contain a large pocket handkerchief. The "Salvador" at anchor in the Calais harbor sits alarmingly apparently not drawing more than a foot. If we ever get to sea and a blow comes up we'll turn turtle as sure as fate and I don't think many on board could care. There isn't an ounce of freight abroad and no ballast; but up, nup, up to the steep and very lofty iadder, from deck to deck, a stream of poor refugees is pouring. Far below, as I look over the railing, a dingy looking mob is waiting, each member of it with paper in hand, proving the holder to be Belgian and therefore entitled to embark on this rusty old high-out-of-the-water tramp. Back of me is a Belgian family. Mother, two babies, grandfather and grandmother. They have walked from Antwerp to Calais. The two babies are in a hamper filled with old clothes. The old folks have taken turns at the two ends of the stick on which they had hung the basket holding the babies. They looked dazed, hungry, very tired; no doubt they are all thre and more. The children have the same pinched look I have seen in thousands of babies' faces in their fix, a look one simply cannot get used to see without a tightening sensation around the heart. Seated on the hatch back of this family is a row of people. I think they are strangers to each other, but as even members of the same family are too stricken by the calamity to converse among themselves, one cannot be sure. One is a barheaded woman, perhaps not more than 22. Better dressed and "gotten up" some, one would say she was pretty. Now she sat staring out over the railing at the roof of a warehouse a hundred feet away. Her hands are open lying loosely in her lap. Next to her is an old man, perhaps 65, with very scrubby, grayish whiskers. He, too, is staring at the warehouse roof. On his knees is a bundle, done up in a striped material. Perhaps it might have been a pillow slip or part of one at some former time. Now it holds a chisel, a claw hammer, a key-hole saw and a cake of wax plus other things. An old cabinet maker probably exiled by the war. His arms are about the bundle; unconsciously he grips the thing as though it were some treasure which he cannot afford to lose. Befuddled by the misery they have gone through, fatigued by their long tramp a foot; their resistance weakened by the remorseless onrush of the war against which it had been useless to fight, these poor refugees, silent, staring, humble, chilled and hungry crowd the corroded deck of the tramp and stay wherever they are put. U. S. BAN ON FOREIGN PARCEL POST LIFTED U. S. BAN ON FOREIGN PARCEL POST LIFTED Germans, Austrians and Hungarians Here Can Now Send Christmas Presents. WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.—Resumption of the parcel post service between the United States and Germany and Austria-Hungary was announced by Postmaster General Burleson last night. The lifting at this time of the pro- hibition against acceptance of parcels for these countries, caused by the lack of means of transportation resulting from the war, will make possible the sending of thousands of Christmas remembrances to Europe which other wise would have been impossible. An order to all postmasters was issued by the postmaster general directing them, until further notice, to accept all mailing to the countries named all parcels which conform to the prescribed conditions of the international parcel post service. GRAFTON ATTORNEY DIES IN NEW YORK Ex-State Senator Benjamin F. Bailey. Succumbs to Heart Failure on Wall Street. Ex-State Senator Benjamin F. Bailey, of Grafton, prominent politician and one of the leading attorneys of West Virginia, dropped dead in Wall street, New York city, Tuesday night, of heart failure. He was identified by Attorney Hugh Warder, of Grafton. He was in the metropolis on a business trip. Mr. Taylor was born in Taylor court, November 10, 1864. He was educated in the common schools of the county, later studying law at Adrian College, Michigan, and later at the State University at Morgantown. He graduated from the law department of the school with the class of 19 and was immediately admitted to the bar. He began the practice of law a Grafton and was elected prosecuting attorney of Taylor county in the year 1900. He was also an ex-city councilman. He was identified with several real estate interests. He was a heavy stock holder in the Thornton Fire Brick Works, was a solicitor for the Hon Brewing Company, was identified with the legal department of the F & N./branch of the Wabash railroad was a past exalted ruler of the B. O. E. lodge and the Knights of Pythias. As a politician he was a F publican of the old school. The body passed through the el Wednesday evening on train No. en route to Grafton. War Revenue Tax Laws Imposes Extra Cares on Corporation Employees Today you can hear all manner of complaints among local railroad agents on account of the increased responsibilities placed upon them in carrying out the new rules of the tax law, which has many details that must be followed closely. While they had plenty of time before the law went into effect to acquaint themselves with the new rules, there are many little details which they overlooked at the time, and now they must study out the complications of they arise. The agents are being helped out of their predicament by the railroad companies, who have issued the following information to both agents and shippers: Receipts must be issued for all shipments of goods transported in baggage cars such as milk and cream bicycles, perambulators, dogs, etc. and stamp affixed and canceled by consignor; when a car is switched as a station from one plant to another or from one or to another railroad, either local to one carrier or in joint switching service, for which a charge is made, the movement will be regarded as a shipment and the switching ticket a manifest to be stamped, except when a road haul shall epsue, when no stamp will be required for the switching movement. Freight accepted for transportation at non-agency stations shall be receipted for by conductors, who will see that stamps are duly affixed to receipts issued by them and cancelled by the shippers, except in the case of perishable freight, which may be transported to destination in advance of stamping, but may not be delivered to consignee until he shall have affixed and cancelled a stamp PLAN TO DRIVE WAR FROM SEAS Twenty-One Republics of North and South Continents May Join in Project. WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. 8. proposals for creating a neutral zone in the waters of the western hemisphere and conserving the rights of neutrals will be laid by the United States before the governing board of the Pan-American Union, which consists of diplomatic representatives of the 21 American republics. The governing board will meet Tuesday. Secretary Bryan says that all suggestions that have been made will be discussed. Argentina, Chile, Peru, Uruguay and Ecuador are among the countries which have formally communicated plans for the restoration of shipping in this hemisphere through a more vigorous assertion of neutral rights. The conference will take the term of an exchange of views by the diplomats and also will include such questions as wireless and coaling, which already have made controversies with European belligerents. The general purpose of the meeting is to reach a concord of views in neutrality questions so that the 21 American republics will speak as with one voice to the European belligerent powers whenever new questions arise. Pern's suggestion for a neutral concerning the territorial waters from the three-mile limit to include a large area, within which coastwise trade of all belligerents should be unmolested, is not viewed by the United States as practicable at present because of the belief that such a move would be misinterpreted by one or the other of the belligerents. Such a step could come only from the voluntary action of the belligerents, according to President Wilson's recently expressed views. Officials here believe the project should be pressed by the concert of Pan-American nations after the war. Chile had suggested that foreign warships be refused coal in any American ports, or that only sufficient coal be given to permit a warship to reach a port in an adjacent country. Colombia already has adopted the latter method in dealing with belligerent ships. Argentine and Ecuador have informed the United States they believe a number of new questions have arisen since the outbreak of the war which demand joint consideration by Pan-American nations because of the identity of their interests as neutrals. These two countries suggested the calling of a conference either of special delegates or of diplomatic representatives through the Pan-American Union with a view to a thorough discussion of the situation. After conferences between President Wilson, Secretary Bryan, and Counsellor Robert Lansing it was decided that, the only feasible plan of present was to lay the entire question before the Pan-American governing board. There the diplomatic representatives can discuss questions informally without committing their governments to any specific course, and out of such interchange of views plans may be evolved that can be referred to their respective governments for uniform action. to consiglanor's receipt; new bills of ladling issued to points where there transit must be stamped. In the matter of reconsignments, it has been decided that new bills of lading must issue in all cases where station destination or consignee is changed involving the stamp and cancelling process, although it is permissible still for a consignee to endorse his bill of lading over to another.

DARST CALLS FOR $700,000 REVENUE OR RETRENCHV INT TThat it is nnperative that additional Tevenue is provided for the support of the state government since the loss of $700,000 annually through the elimine tion of the saloon licenses in West Virginia, is the declaration of Stats Auditor John S. Darst in his report for the biennial period ended June 20 last, just completed by the state printer and transmitted to Governor Hatfield tor the legisiature Auditor Darst in his diseussiin at the public revenue says that the lest legislature was very liberal in appr priating money and that the state treasury would have long since been empty had not the state adminnien tion advised, wherever possitile, r+ trenchment in the expenditure of tie appropriations for new building: anh repairs at the several state inst tions. He recites, however, that during the last biennial period the offires of the commissioner of agriculture and a public service commission have bee created, necessitating the expenditurs of additional funds. In connection with the establish. ment of the public commission the anditor cites the law which provide that the public service corporation of the state shall pay the expenses of their supervision by the commission, while the expense of adiministerin-: the workmen's compensation fund is borne by the state. “IT see no reason for this distinc tion,” says the auditor. “In my opin- ion the law should be amended to pro- gide that the expense of administer ing the compensation fund should be paid from that fund and not by the state. If it is right for the state to compel public service corporations te pay for state supervision, why then is it not also entirely right and proper for those enjoying the benefit of the workmen’s compensation fund to pay for its administration?” Hither additional revenue must be provided or further retrenchment will be necessary, according to Auditor Darst, who, while declaring his friend: liness to the advancement of schools, good roads and other matters, advises deliberation and caution, declaring “we should make haste slowly and deliberately and be sure of our ability to pay as we go along. By a too great increase of taxes we will discourage not only our own people, dut also the influx of outside capital and thereby hinder the very causes we desire so much to advance.” Auditir Darst says in his report that the 10 cents direct state tax impose for the fiscal year beginning July 1. 1914, will raise approximately $800,000 and is insufficient to care for the de: ficit created through the operation of ihe prohibition amendgnent, and (hata unless the legislature finds new ave ues of revenue the limit of the state tax must be raised. “While 1 am opposed to the stats tax and believe the state ean be rng without it if the people so desire, stil if the revenue sare not provided in otier ways to run the state govern. ment there is only one course left open and that is to increase the stat» tax. If this cannot be done then th poard of public works would be com: pelled to borrow money to maintain the state government. “I believe the burdens of taxation should fall on all alike, rich and poor If a man has but little property. he should pay but litle tax and he is a better citizen because he pays some: thing, because he then feels that he is doing his share as a self-respecting citizen to wards paying for the neces sities and blessings provided for the as it was necessary to gu back sey eral years to start the and!, the work Wats hot vet comnleted The insurance depariwen: i fice, Lhe auditor deckwres, with the or largement of the powers int dai es of the insurance cammissioner, has become a more impurtent feature of the state wovernnent, not oniy as a revenue producer, hut as a meltic benefactor.
