STORM UPROOTS TREES AND RUINS FIELDS OF CORN THUNDERSTORM YESTERDAY EVENING LEAVES TRAIL OF RUIN IN WAKE OF HED- GESVILLE DISTRICT-GIANT LOC CUST TREES LITERALLY LIFTED FROM THE EARTH AND FENCES TORN DOWN-MANY CORNFIELDS LAID LOW A heavy rainstorm with the accompaniment of heavy thunder and much electricity, swept over the North end of the county about five o'clock yesterday evening, and left a trail of wreckage in its wake. On the premises of John Z. Linton large locust trees were literally lifted from the ground, their powerful noots being snapped like pipe stems, and the cornfields were blown flat to the ground. Many telephone poles were snapped off and some fencing blown down. Apple trees suffered many broken limbs. On Sheriff E. H. Tabler's farm the damage was not so great, except that plowed lands were washed. Mr. J. H. Riner and Overton Tabler's premises suffered damages to corn crops, fruit and vegetables. 1600-CAR PEACH CROP IN SOUTH BRANCH VALLEY TWO PEACH TRAINS RUN DAILY OVER HAMPSHIRE-SOUTH- ERN BRANCH OF B. & O. REAL MOVEMENT OF PRIME PART OF BIG CROP WILL START NEXT WEEK—BIG CARRIER SYSTEM HAS PUT NEW SIDINGS AND RACKAGE FOR USE OF FRUIT GROWERS Having spent the first part of the week along the Hampshire-Southern branch of the Baltimore & Ohio, Theo F. Imbach, special agricultural agent for the big carrier system returned this morning. His trip was made primarily to look over improvements in the way of sidings being made by the railroad to accommodate especially the fruit growers of the South Branch Valley region and he reports everything done as asked for by the people of that territory. New Trackage and Sidings. At Romney the yards have been made practically new and enlarged and at Vanderlip (West Romney) new sidings have been laid. New trackage to accommodate cars has been laid at Moorefield and at Petersburg, the southern terminous sidings put down. At Green Spring, additional car room has been made. 1500 ar Peach Cropp. In the Grant county region around Petersburg many new orchards, which are the first of the commercialeries in that region, will yield their crops this season. The fruit will be the best ever as more cars has been given to culture and spraying. Hardy county will ship peaches from several points, and the fruit is droughting in fine shape. From Romney and along the line to Grain Spring Hampshire county will furnish the big bulk of the 1500-curs of the estimated crop in that region. Mr. Limbach says peaches have developed so very much in the past month that the crop will be heavier than estimated early in the season and the early fruit going out at this time is of fine quality. Two peach trains were running over the Romney branch yesterday, and next week the much movement will be on in full blast with the very best varieties of peaches going into maturity. "JAMMY" CODY IS LANDED IN JAIL ALLEGED LEADER OF GANG ARRESTED AT FAULKNER'S LAWN TODAY. After spending the night out probably on the grass on Faulkner's lawn, on South Queen street, early this morning "Jimmy" Cody, alleged to have been the leader in the robbery which occurred at Houseworth & Zimmerman's store a few nights ago, was arrested and is now behind the bars within the safe clutches of the law. Cody never left town, although authorities were positive of that yesterday. He was seen near Rosemont Park during the Cumberland-Martinsburg ball game yesterday afternoon and about 5 o'clock was seen near the Cumberland Valley station. All three boys who are alleged to have been implicated in the affair are now in jail or the city lockup. NEW HIGHWAY IS PLANNED TO CONNECT THREE STATES MARYLAND, WEST VIRGINIA AND "OLD DOMINION" TO BE TIED BY CROSS. COUNTRY LINK OF NEARLY TWO HUNDRED MILES—WOULD FOLLOW THE SOUTH BRANCH VALLEY BY ROMNEY AND PETERSBURG, AND PASS FRANKLIN TO MONTEREY. There is a project on foot to build a highway from Cumberland and to Hot Springs. Va., by way of Romney, Moorefield, Peteysburg Franklin, Monterey and Warm Springs, thus linking up the county ats of seven counties. Hon. B. H. Hiner, of Pendleton county, has taken considerable interest in the project and has taken the matter up with a representative of the federal government who occupies a prominent position with the Road Bureau, and who is not only favorable so, but enthusiastic about it. He states that the project is altogether feasible and one upon which he believes the government will look upon favorable, its government representative suggests that a meeting or conference be held at some central point to which recourse will arise of the several counting interested be sent and that he will have the government and representative to attentive that proceed. Immediately as all the county courts of which state may hold such transactions on the 15th March, it is sure that these cases from the current county will be selected then to be sent to a conference to be held at Meenfield on the 25th. Our county people are asnet to meet here at 10 o'clock next Tuesday in connection with the County Court, and that delegates be selected to attend this conference. Mr. Hiner will be here at the time and give an outline of the meeting. The matter is one that deserves the serious consideration of our people, and the Review hopes a large number will be here to take action upon it. WEST VIRGINIANS ORGANIZE SOCIETY WEST VIRGINIA SOCIETY FORM IN OHIO CITY — CATLETT IS PRESIDENT. To strengthen the friendship already existing between West Virginia now living in Ohio, and to form new friendships between the people of the two states, a West Virginia Society has been organized at Akron, Ohio, a city which in the past few years has attracted thousands from neighboring cities and states, many of whom are from "The Little Mountain State." William B. Otlett, formerly of Berkeley Springs, and also for some time employed in the circulation department of The World, was elected president at the first meeting held last Sunday, which was attended by 1,000 people. It is estimated that the association will soon have 5,000 members. E. W. Collis, formerly of Martinsburg, was elected a vice president. In speaking of the organization Mr. Catlett said: "We will try to make it more home like for West Virginiaans here," said Catlett, "and with closer and more sympathetic relations they will feel more at home and be more inclined to stay, especially those in the rubber shops who are now working on war contracts. More of them will move now that they have friends here who will draw them, and West Virginiaans, according to Free Fuller of the Gondy ar, are good workers."

HOLLAND DAMIWINE SEGOVIC BRIDges POSTEND SEGOVIC BRIDges BELGIUM LILIE LENS MAD STQUEVARD AFFERE RHEIMS CHAMONES MARNE VERCUN LUXEMBURG LORRAINE NETZ PARIS MAP OF THE WESTERN FRONT—showing change in three years. Solid line represents Germany's' greatest advance; dotted line, present battle front ANOTHER YEAR OF WAR Another year of war is foreshadowed by every development in Europe and America. The great antagonists are deadlocked on three fronts, while the Russian demoralization renders hostilities in the eastern field nothing more than aseless aimless effusion of blood. Czernowicz ha_s changed hands at least ten times, and may change hands a dozen r_more before the war ends. For all practical purposes, the allies and their enemies may as well call a halt along the Russian front while they flight to a decision elsewhere. Kerensky's efforts so save the crazy nation spectacular and exciting, but so far as the war is concerned they mean nothing. Russia cannot organize to withstand German attacks, and Germany cannot absorb Russia. They are both facing a terrific winter and if they are wise they will begin to dig in along that front without trying to achieve victory this fall. The French and British armies, with splendid gallantry and persistence, are doing sore damage to the Germans in Flanders and Northern Germans in Flanders and Northern France. They have made decided headway toward one objective, which is Zeebrugge on its submarine base. Nevertheless, the gate of progress is low. With the best of wishes for immediate and overwhelming success, it cannot be said in candor that there is any prospect of roving the Germans out of the way before next spring. Conferences have been held recently in which some of the larger aspects of the war and widely separated factors have been discussed Italy and Serbia have had their claims carefully considered by France and Great Britain. China's entry into the war has been evident since the failure of she German plot to restore the Manchu emperor. The Baskan field has been scrutinized, particularly with reference to the participation of the Greek army in an offensive against Bu'garia. All of these factors, however, depend for their evolution upon still larger factors, such as the financial resources of the allies the concert of opinion of the military and naval commanders as to the best way to win the war the part to be played by the United States on the western front, etc. It is not conceivable, for example that the war can be won before winter in the Balkans under any possible plan of operations. Ag for the United States, upon which all the allies depend for various kinds of assistance, it is quite evident that this country cannot bring the war to an end this year. Physical facts cannot be ignored. The ocean must be crossed, and after vessels have been provided there must an allowance for losses. The nation a' army will be in camp by October, with good luck, but it will not be a trained fighting force at that time. If there is no untoward duty delay it can begin to be sent to France by January 1. The transfer of 200,000 men per month would mean that April I would arrive before the entire army would be on French soil. A couple of months' intensive training there would make it ready for business. In the meantime Germany will be reinforced by its annual harvest of 660,000 men, while Austria-Hungary will be refreshed with still more. An enormous addition must be made to American shipping capacity. The allies must have supplies without interruption; the army must be sent across an dfollowing the army there must be five or six tons kept afloat for every man sent across. Anybody in America who holds a second in war perparation to talk peace or peace possibilities is, if he is at heart loyal, a perfect idiot. Intelligent suspension of war preparations can only be inspired by disloyally. Every second of delay for the sake of talking possible peace is a direct aid to Germany. By straining every nerve the United States will be in fair fighting trim at the front by the beginning of next Summer. From all informations available, there need be no fear that peace will arrive before Americans can join in the fighting.—Washington Post.

MARYLAND TOWN HAS "BRAVE" MEN MANY AT FREDERICK FILE EXEMPTIONS FOR QUEER REASONS. Over in Frederick all sorts of reason to avoid going to war are being uncovered. One man said he believed in the Ten Commandments but could not repeat them on request. One young man thought that he should be exempted on the ground that he walks in his sleep and might, in a sleep, walk right over at the enemy. Another drawn registrant went to an exemption official with an excuse that made the local man open his eyes. He told how spasms "ran" in the family. Many members suffering therefrom. While he had been able to ward off the dreaded ailment by means of wrapping a shroud about his body, these shrouds have become extremely scarce, and for this reason he might suffer with this trouble at any time in battle and have no shroud handy. A matter of this kind must be passed upon by the physicians in charge of the physical examinations. THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS GATHER IN GENERAL CONVENTION AT CHICAGO — WANT INSTITUTIONS AT CANTONMENTS. CHICAGO. Aug. 8.—The general convention of the Knights of Columbus opened here yesterday.

Yesterday afternoon the little boy and his small sister, Alberta, were sprinkling, or about to sprinkle, the lawn. Charles was at the nozzle end and Alberta went back to the spigot to turn the water on. Meantime, Charles put the end of the nozzle into his mouth to "play smoking." 'As he did so the water came rushing through the hose line and with such force that it ran down his throat into his windpipe and filled his lungs. He fell over to the ground in paroxysms and lost consciousness. His father being near by rushed to the boy and, turning him head downwards, shook him vigorously. By any by the water ran out of the little fellow's lungs, respiration came back and he survived. RUSSIAN WOMEN FINE CHICAGO, IL. Aug. 8.—"I never saw a finer lot of soldiers than these Russian women who joined the air to fight their country's battles," said Eshu Root head of the commission which recently returned from Russia and arrived here yesterday. "I saw the command of death" march away from Petrograd. It was one of the most inspiring sights that I have ever seen, to those women, some of them glender girls, with their hair cropped and their ugly uniforms go away to do the work of men. They marched as befitted their names, for they know no fear. "It would not surprise me if a time goes on. American women did the same thing. American women are just as capable and noble as those of Russia. And when the calls come I would not be surprised if it should we will see women giving their blood on the field of battle." Mr. Root said Russia is not beaten and will win out in the end.
