LONDON, Aug. 2.—A fiery gash, stretching forty miles across Belgium from Lens to the sea, marks the scene of the new Franco-British offensive. Torrential rainstorms have been unable to quench the fire of the big guns although they have flooded the field of battle and converted the lowlands into a vast corass. Marking the opening of a new phase of the war—a military operation destined to last probably until late autumn and the first main blow to be struck against the submarines, Sir Douglas Haig is continuing his pounding of the German lines preliminary to a fresh burst over the top. The Franco-British lines are at points three miles beyond their location by the force of the opening of the drive yesterday morning. More than 5,000 German prisoners have been captured and all the Teuton counter attacks stopped. The opposing lines are tense for the next crash. The Germans have masked all the reserves at their command for a desperate attempt to retain their grip on the Belgian coast and all it means to them in their undersea campaign. Against these armies the British and French for more than three weeks have been masking effectiveness for a blow similar to that which two months ago carried them forward more than 15 miles in northern France to the new Hinderburg line. All reports from the front indicate that the German lines are the strongest it is possible to construct. They realize that here is the vital sector of the west front and they have neglected no precaution to make their grip on the Belgian lowlands as tight as possible. Last night the weather was beginning to clear, heralding a new drive today or possible Friday. The terrain along the entire front is of such a nature that infantry operations before the sun has a chance to dry out the muddy ground are hazardous and almost impossible. The troops are suffering terrible hardships in their flooded trenches but the big guns have never ceased. With the likening of the rain mist their fire is resuming its former degree of intensity, a bombardment that for days have been heard in London. With the breaking of the clouds fresh swarms of allied aviators also have been let loose on the German lines. Raids on the concentration behind the Kaiser front have been effectively carried out and the German defensive plotted for the artillery. LONDON, Aug. 1.—The most titantic concentration of men and engines of destruction the world has ever known was juggernauting its bloody way over the German lines today. In twenty-four hourse the war monster representing England and France's supreme efforts, has spread over thirty square miles. An area of that size, blackened by a rain of shells such as never heretofore seen and dyed by the blood of thousands, has been so far wrenched from the invader. London is not counting the cost. It expects human sacrifice. It hopes, however, that the stroke may be so aimed that Germany must relinquish her submarine bases on the coast. 5 GERMAN PRISONERS WORK IN AMERICAN CAMP IN FRANCE—German prisoners are kept busy making things comfortable for the American troopers. Several "Sammies" can be seen in this photo taken in the American camp, with a German prisoner at work. ESTABLISHED 1882 Department of Archives AUGUST While hundreds are dying over the country from the excessive heat which has existed throughout the week, the people of Martinsburg and Berkeley county are standing the hot spell well. Notwithstanding the fact that the mercury registered around 105 in many places, probably as high as any city in the country, no deaths or prostrations have yet been reported. And with Old Sol seeking vengeance upon the city as well as the country, folk no promises of a letup has been made. People of this section are unanimous in their statement that the hottest weather in years is being encountered now. The new Fourth Class now rapidly forming at the Naval Academy, and officially known as the Class of 1921, is under strenuous schedule of exercise and regulations says the Annapolis Capitol. The members have found a truth that "they are in the Navy now." From morning till night and far in the sultry eve they are at hard work pulling oars, drilling, practicing at the rifle range, working in the gymnasium and learing the language of their mother tongue.

NEW FOURTH CLASS AT NAVAL ACADEMY Class of 1921 Under Strenuous Schedule of Exercise and Regulations. OFFICIAL LIST WILL BE POSTED AT COURT HOUSE INDICATIONS POINT OUT THAT BOARD WILL FINISH LIST THIS EVENING. DUTY OF EVERY MAN TO FIND OUT JUST WHERE HE STANDS NUMERICALLY. WILL NOT BE LONG UNTIL MEN ARE CALLED UPON FOR EXAMINATION. Indications this aft晨 at 2 o'clock pointed out that the official list of names of every man who registered in berkeley county of course will be posted in the county at the court house this evening before the berkeley County Exemption Board adjourns. In case something unseen happens however, the list will be posted in the morning. Although the lists have been printed in the newspapers it is the duty of every man who registered at any one of the twenty-five precincts in this county, to ascertain if his name is in the first call or where it is. He besides knowing what number is, must find out just where he stands numerically. The next move of the board will probably be to end out notices to all men who are to appear before the board, to be on hand a certain day for examination. The day will most likely be named before the end of this week. It is thought by many that it will require 400 names to get the county's quota of 122. Interest here, as well as all over the county has been keen for several days and it continues to increase, with every man keeping up on the situation. It is known that it will not be long until the people know who will be the representatives. INTENSE HOT WAVE REFUSES TO LEAVE No Relief is Promised by the Weather Man—Heat Prevails in All Sections. LOSS OF SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS ENTAILED BY FIRE WHICH OCCURRED THIS MORNING AT CHARLES SEIBERT'S FARM. FIVE CALVES BURN TO DEATH WHEN BUILDING IS TOTALLY DESTROYED. MUCH WHEAT, OATS, HAY AND POTATOES WIPED OUT BY BLAZE. One of the most disastrous and costly fires occurring in Berkeley county for many years not under way this morning about 9 o'clock at the big barn on the farm of Charles Seibert who resides on the Arden Road, and completely burned it to the ground, burning five calves to death and destroying 800 bushels of wheat, 75 tongs of hay and 300 bushels of oats ad many farm implements, entailing a loss of several thousand dollars. Unnoticedly the fire was caused by spontaneous combustion and due to the large quantity of hay and wheat was soon beyond control. The local fire department was called but upon arriving it was seen that the blaze had gotten to much headway. Enough time was had, however, to get the horses out before they were touched by fire. With the price wheat, oats, hay and farm implements are bringing now, the loss is made heavier than usual. The calves are also valued highly. It is impossible to estimate the loss correctly but it will amount to several thousand dollars, partly covered by insurance held by the agencies of H. L. Alexander and C. V. Pownall. FATAL WRECK ON N. & W. RAILWAY Two Men Killed in Accident Which Occurred Yesterday Near Rip- pon.

It "slackers" who marry to avoid going to war have made themselves liable for punishment and also th women who married them, then why should not women who agree to and accompany men into other states be as liable to punishment for white slavery as men? The gossip about the lack of force to conserve our abundant food products is useless. Every bit of it can be canned or dried. The devilish color question is all that stands in the way. Employ colored women, girls and boys and treat them decently and your work will be done, and well done. Sure as there is a God, all races - all colors are interdependent one upon the other, and the quicker we all come together and live on earth so we can continue our love in heaven, the better. The right step has been taken by the War Department. It has decreed that no discrimination shall be allowed on soldiers. Since good, patriotic citizens make best of soldiers, why not so decree for them? By all means let the war powers so declare and set an example for the world—in plainer words put in practice what the constitution gives every man. Treat Negroes as manly men, and no nation on earth will have a better type of loyal subjects and supporters. Notwithstanding, the barbarous treatment we have been getting, we love the land of our birth and will pledge our lives to the protection of America and all its people, if humanely treated and Godly respected. The men who accepted Jesus Christ as the Son of God and walked in his footsteps, were wiser and better than those who refused to, and killed him. So, also, those who saw and knew of what metal Theodore Roosevelt is made, and stood up for him through thick and thin, in every crisis, deserve more respect than switchbackers. No paper car he found that was more harshly dealt with for its advocacy of Col. Roosevelt than the Pioneer Press. It has always been for Teddy and shall long as it exists. He is one of the greatest living men on earth. He has the finest brain power, the rarest judgment, the keenest insight of public matters, and more backbone to back them all than any living man, and with it all, he is strictly honest. Too many proposed conventions. For years and years, we have attended them, and one—the Niagara Movement that met in Harper's Ferry pleased us. All others have boiled over with bickerings and dissensions over office and money getting. Byron Gunner, who went South and so tamely submitted to the treatment inflicted on him, should be the last man on earth to call a conference on frothing to correct the wrongs. Why did he not die like a man in defense of his rights? In going to many such gatherings the railroads that junct crow us get thousands of our dollars and no lasting good is done. Why should we go to St. Louis, August 2, 1917? Best thing in the world is to be men wherever you go. In 1880, we were assaulted in Nashville, Tenn., for contending for first class passage on a first class ticket and got it after a fist-bottle. In 1882, in Atlanta, Ga., we were ordered to jim crow, cry and refused to obey. We insisted upon Prof. Scott Moatgomery to stand by us, but he refused and the only man who would and did war Prof. John W. Cromwell, and we were not jimrowed. Again, we urge you to be men, not only abroad, but more also, and more so at home. FAIRMONT APPEALS FOR CITY MARKET FAIRMONT APPEALS FOR CITY MARKET Prosperous Inland City of State "Branching Out in All Lines." Britching Out in All Lines." The Fairmont Times, of yesterday contained an appeal for "A City Market," which to the people of Martinsburg, who have enjoyed this great advantage, with the greater blessing of being in the heart of a great agricultural and fruit belt, or half a century, has a full measure of good meaning. The article follows: "Some time ago a movement was started in this city, for a city market house, and there was, at that time much discussion of the roposition, but of late the talk of such a municipal institution has quieted down. We wish at this time to renew the agitation for a city, market house, as we believe that it would be a fine thing for the community, and would be a great benefit to the consumer as well as to the producer. Meat and other foodstuffs are abnormally high in this city as those who have occasion to buy supplies for the home know full well. There is to much of the out of town produce offered for sale in this city, and not enough of home produce. With a central market house, where the local farmers could bring their produce and offer it for sale direct to the consumer would come a great benefit to the farmer and to the citizens of the community The farmer would get a reasonable profit for his produce, and at the same time it is likely that the cost to the consumer would be reduced in large measure. Fairmont is branching out in all other lines. Fairmont is making great strides toward the goal set of "Fifty in Five." We believe that the time has come when serious consideration of a public market house should be given by those in authority and the public in general. If need be, the scheme of a market house for Fairmont may be worked up to gradually, starting with a curb-stone market. But by all means let us give the proposition serious consideration for a market house for Fairmont will solve in a large measure many vexing problems." THE CHURCH IN POLITICS PROHIBITIONFIGHTSBROUGHT INTO EDIFICES KILL BROTHERLY LOVE Evangelist and Missouri Newspapers Condemn Ministers Who Veil "Dry" Propaganda Under Cloak of Religion They Do Not Teach Christ's Word At the Baptist Church revival last night, following a week's exhortation for spiritual things, Rev. Davis called on all who wanted to lead a more consacrated life to come forward and give him their hand. Only one man and his wife went forward and they were members of the church. The man who wanted to be more consacrated was a minister. The evangelist rose to the emergency and what he told the church was a plenty. In substance it was that Be had found that prohibition carried into the church as a political fight had paralyzed brotherly love and engendered an tagonium foreign to the spirit of religion. That there is something more in religion than a moral propaganda of a civic reform and the spirit of intolerance on either side should not be cultivated among Christians to carry an election. The Monitor has been hammering at this idea in a feeble way for some time and depreciating the inevitable disorganization of the church in politics and polities in the church. What Would Christ Be? Real consecration to the cross of Christ was never at a lower ebb in this city than at the present time, not the church more completely segregated from the worldly-minded because of the hostile attitude of the righteous. One could almost say that if Christ came to Moberly he would have to declare himself either wet or dry and join a faction. Where is the old time religion that all men are sinners, and that God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son? The test of orthodoxy is your voice on the third amendment and nobody wants to live a more consecrated life.—Moberly (Mo.) Monitor The above is from the pen of Frank Rothwell, a consistent and in times past an active working member of the Baptist church. It clearly outlines the condition in some of the churches of this city at the present time. Men may be willing to take spiritual advice from the ministers but they will not take from them political advice sugar coated with a thin veneer of religion. It would be well if church pastors would recognize that mature men are not children, and all their statements are not going to be taken at their face value or in other words without seeing the motive and purpose behind every utterance. If the churches are to prosper and do the great work they are purposed to do, then politics must not appear in the public under the cloak of religion. It is evident that Rev. Davis has put his finger on the sore spot in some of the churches of this city and clearly indicates the cause of much of the disaffection in the Moberly church at this time.—Moberly (Mo.) Democrat.

THE YOUTH'S COMPANION, St. Paul Street, BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS WANTS "DRY" LAW EFFECTS STUDIED Scientist Suggests Commission To Investigate Results of Prohibition Amazed by magazine and newspaper stories illustrating the failure of Prohibition to prohibit, a famous scientist suggests to the New York Tribune that before the national prohibition idea is even talked of seriously, a commission should be appointed to see how the "dry" law actually works. The Tribune article says: Dr. Thomas Sowall Adams, professor of political economy in Sheffield Scientific School, Yale University, told the life insurance presidents convened at the Hotel Astor recently that there ought to be not only a permanent commission to take the tariff out of politics, but one also to study the effects of prohibition. "A permanent commission," he said, "instructed to ascertain with cold-blooded impartiality the effects of tariff legislation could go a long way to ward taking the tariff out of politics. The same is true of prohibition. It would be a comparatively easy matter for a board of scientifically minded men to ascertain with reasonable accuracy how far prohibition does actually prohibit in particular places." Professor Adam's subject was "The Increase of Public Expenditures and Taxes," which he found a well-nigh universal phenomenon the world over. And the fundamental difficulty, he thought, was the inability of the public to ascertain the value of a public service. He proposed the creation of efficiency commissions to measure their value.

Peach and Pump Butter.—Wash fruit carefully and remove "fizz" on peaches by rubbing with a damp towel. Do not peel. Place in an enamel lined preserving kettle, add a little water and cook until very tender. Squeeze through a fruit press or colander to remove skins and stones. Place pulp in clean preserving kettle, add sugar to taste and boil until thick and rich in color, stirring constantly to prevent sticking to the kettle. Spices may be added if desired but the butter is generally considered better if unspiced. Pour the boiling mass into hot, sterilized jars and seal at once. SPRAY POTATOES TO PREVENT LATE BLIGHT Fungous Disease a Great Menace to Late Potatoes Just Forming Tubers. WASHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 2.—Potato into blight, a fungous disease, capable of causing enormous destruction has appeared in several states from Maine to New Jersey and West Virginia, according to the United States Department of Agriculture. The blight occurred early this year and reports show that it is more prevalent than usual. While in some fields the blight is already beyond control, prompt spraying with Bordeaux mixture will in most cases, still be effective, the specialists ad- --- 63 BUSHELS OF WHEAT TO ACRE MOUNT JACKSON, Va., Aug. 18 Mount Airlift, near mount Jackson, Va., owned by Daniel K.

LESSON IN PEACHES; OTHER STONE FRUITS. The National Food Garden Commission Give $_{5}$ Valuable Suggestions If peaches are packed in the jars with the pit cavity lown, more tran can be put into the containers and a finer looking product is obtained, says today's bulletin from the National Emergency Food Garden Commission of Washington, D. C., which is co-operating with this newspaper in its extensive campaign for the saving of the food resources of the country. Peache $ _{g} $ should be washed carefully in cold water, dipped into boiling water a moment or two until the skin slips and then into cold water for an instant. The skin is then slipped off, the peaches cut in halves and the pits removed and the halves packed into jars with pit cavity down. A few pits should be placed near the bottom of the jar to give flavor to the fruit. Add medium syrup boiling hot to fill jars, partially tighten tops and sterilize for sixteen minutes in boiling water. After complete sterilization, remove jars from boiling water, tighten tops and invert to cool in place free from draughts. Wrap in dark paper to prevent loss of color, label and store in cool, dry place. Canned Plums are better if of large size and thick flesh. All plums are canned whole without peeling. Pack tight in hot jars and fill with boiling hot syrup of light density. Sterilize for sixteen minutes in boiling water after partially tightenng tops. Remove from sterilizer. finish sealing and invert to test for leakage 5 BARNEY OLDFIELD'S NEW RACING CONTRAPTION—In the old days Barney Oldfield was ever the picture-esque dandelion of the automobile racetrack. But now, apparently, our Barney is becoming cautious. Look at this racing machine in which he now compets, which some one has christened the "Golden Egg," because of its form and color. Racing in a sedan, it looks like to us. But Barney knows that if she ever turns over he'll be safe. ivse. Unless potato growers spray thoroughly with Bidoux mixture they fear that the large potato crop that has been promised will not be realized, as late blight, if uncontrolled, is capable of reducing the national crop at the rate of 2,000,000 bushels per day. Potatoes in the northern states are just beginning to form tubers. To produce a large crop the tops must be kept healthy till frost, as the tubers increase in size most rapidly during the last weeks of the season. The late blight kills the tops and causes the tubers to rot in the ground. The blight starts in a few centers in the field where diseased potatoes are planted. Brown spots develop on the leaves and a whitish mildew appears on their under side. Frequent rains and warm muggy weather furnish ideal conditions for the development of the blight under which the foliage blights rapidly to leaves ang blackened and dead and dead and the tubers begin to rot. Dry and hot weather on the other hand tends to check the progress of the blight but growers could spray immidiately and not trust their crops entirely to improvement in weather conditions. As an effective preventive of late blight Bordeaux mixture has proved its value for 25 years. Every grower from Maine to Michigan and south to Virginia is urged to spray at once and repeatedly.
