SATURDAY, AUGUST 11, 1917 At the battle of Trenon, George Washington said: "None but American one put to mind," and it ought to be so today. --- The further one looks into the existing state of affairs on the side of war the more convinced he must be, situated as we are, that to 9th bravely, is our only salvation. We may cry "peace, peace" but one can be no peace, simple that which shot and shell will make. Not so long ago while in Boston, a topnotch B storm tried to convince us that this country was run and ruled by one honest and pine men. It was then laughable to us but now, we believe it. And after this outrageous war, hold that number will run it. --- It is too bad that a man of editor John Mitchell, Jr.'s, patriotism, who has done so much for the Red Cross society and this country's welfare, should have his paper, the Planet button from the mail because he published a communication about that horrible East St. Louis, butchery of human beings. He urged colored men to enlist and fight for this country, and although too old to be drafted, regretted he could no go to war for his country. Editor Mitchell is one, if not the greatest living Negro. When the banks of Richmond, Va., were almost swamped and needed money to tide them over the panic, his bank gloriously carried them over it. He is a tightened educated man whose soul is on fire for the rights and against the wrongs of his people, and a nation as big is this one, by all means should weigh well the causes that arouse such men to admit such things into their papers in the hope of making things better for themselves and their suffering people. Editor Mitchell meant no harm and it, on the spur of a moment the powers that he saw as they believed harmful results of that communication and will show it to Mr. Mitchell, we guarant e he will, editorially put himself right before the public and stand as firmly by the flag and its rights as any man in America. For one, we will go to see the President and our noble townsman, Secretary of war, Newton D. Baker in his behalf. PROMINENT WHITE PASTOR EXCORIATES EAST SAINT LOUIS SAVAGES. Rev. J. W. Lee, the famous St. Louis, Mo. preacher, July 8, said: "We have heard a great deal about frightfulness in Europe recently, and if all we read in the papers is true, there is certainly an accumulation of black deeds, of unspeakable crimes, such as perhaps no previous age ever knew." "The record given in one of the city papers, which tell of the deliberate, murderous brutality displayed against poor Negroes in the state of Abraham Lincoln, "I am afraid of anything," as the writer remarked, "ever perpetrated in Armenia by the Turks, or in Belgium by the Germans." "Think of Negroes who had been guilty of no offense, pleading for their lives with raised hands, surrounded by groups of white men and stoned to death. Think of a Negro, covered with blood and half conscious, raising himself on his elbow to see it there was any chance of escape, being met by a young man better or sed than most of others, hating a that stone in both hands and naring it upon the Negro's neck. Think of Negro women begging for money and pleading they had harmed no one, set upon, by white women of the unmerciful and annoying the course sullen of men as only beat the Negroes faces and crushes with lists, stones and sticks. Think of men in uniform frankly fraternizing with the murderers engaged in killing Negroes. Think of all tins and more, and then see if you can recall anything that ever happened on Belgium, Poland or Armenia, or anywhere else on the face of the earth. The sad thing about this spirit of lawlessness and lynching, and murder, is found in the fact that it is usually practiced against the Negro, who, without his consent, was stolen from Africa and brought to this country, who lived in a state of slavery until 1865, and who has made a contribution to the agricultural wealth of the country perhaps greater than any other race of American people, and yet he is selected as the object upon which to vent hate, and upon whom to practice American lawlessness. There never was an anarchist among the Negroes. They believe in observing the law, and yet anarchists like Emma Goldman can stir up sedition, urge insurrection against the government, and go practically unnoticed, while the poor Negroes in East St. Louis, for no other crime than that they wanted work, were pounced upon, many of them beaten to death, their notses burned, and they themselves driven from their homes by hyenas and tigers in human form. My father was a slaveholder. I was brought up on a plantation near Atlanta, Ga. When my father joined the Confederate army he left my mother and his children on the plantation with no other protection than such as the Negroes could give. This was true with the families of slaveholders all over the south. And yet, while the soldiers of the Northern armies were fighting to free the Negroes, and the Negroes knew it, there has never been a case reported where the Negroes failed to be loyal and true to the families of Southern soldiers. The fidelity of the Negroes to the detensiveness women and children during a war, waged to determine whether they should be kept in slavery, has no parallel in history. All the meanness the Negroes practice today, they have learned it from mean white folks." ```markdown ``` On Saturday June the 4th at the residence of Mrs. Georgiana Sampson, Charles St., Miss Catherine Alger, Government Demonstrator, spent the greater part of the afternoon in giving some practical lessons in canning to 25 or 30 representative colored women who were delighted and pleased with the advanced methods. Much credit is due to Mrs. Bertina Slater of Michewaukee Ind., who interested herself in securing the services of Miss Alger and bringing the women together. We need more of such public spirited race women. TOMATO CROP POOR IN MORGAN COUNTY UNFAVORABLE SPRING WEATHER, HAILSTORMS AND INSECTS HAVE RUINED PROSPECTS. Sheriff J. A. Hovermale, of Morgan county, who is in town today, says the tomato crop outlook in the heart of the eastern West Virginia canning belt at this time is rather discouraging. The yield will be far short of an average and the quality in many cases poor. The exorbitant price of tin cans is also a discouraging feature of the business this year, though the demand is good. Unseasonable weather in the late spring interfered with planting the crop and cut down the errage, and insect pests have been unusually active. The blooming has been light, and rainstorms and hail have done a share of damage. Itinerary for the County Agent. Friday, Aug. 19—Inwood Curran's town.

Friday, Aug. 17—Tomhawk. Saturday, Aug. 18—Northlake. The Falling Waters Farmers' Club held a very interesting meeting at the Falling Waters Schoolhouse on Tuesday evening of this week. The first business taken up was election of officers, which had been postponed from the preceding meeting. D. G. Kershner was elected President. Samuel Ditto, Vice President, and J. D. Landis, Secretary Treasurer. An order for timothy seed, as made up by the County Agent, who took a few minutes in discussing the relation of the Farmers' Club to the Bureau and the importance attached to the election of a man who would represent the club at the Bureau meetings held once every month. Arrangements were made whereby Samuel Ditto would take charge of fertilizers shipped to Falling Waters. He will be given a list of the men purchasing fertilizers through the Bureau and will notify them as soon as a car arrive at the Falling Waters station. The Cooperative spirit exhibited at the meeting on Tuesday night is very commendable and speaks well for the farmers of the Falling Waters district. The regular meeting of the Vanclevesville Club scheduled for Wednesday night was not held on account of a lack of a quorum and because of failure on the part of a number of the members in receiving a notice of the meeting. County Agent Teal was unable to attend having been detained by heavy rain near Bunker Hill. A call meeting will be held, however, on Wednesday night. August 15th, at which time business to be disposed of at this meeting will be taken up. The Farmers of Berkeley county are interested in purchasing cooperatively as indicated by the purchase of fertilizers made in the past and of seed such as timothy and clover. At its monthly meeting on Saturday, August 11th, the Farm Bureau will place an order for timothy seed. It is thought that over 200 bushels will be ordered through the Bureau this year and because of the larger quantity, the purchase price will be wholesale. Cards have been sent out to people interested in buying timothy seed and they are expected to reply before Saturday noon, stating just how much would be used. Any others to whom cards have not been sent but who are interested in buying timothy seed at wholesale prices should telephone or write in to the NA FLORS HAIR DRESSING THE KING OF ALL HAIR DRESSINGS GROWS HAIR-REMOVES DANDRUFF AND TETIER BUY IT-TRY IT-TEST IT.

In commission with the Dairy Testing Work in Berkeley and Jefferson counties, a committee of five men will be appointed at the Bureau meeting to take care of the interests of the members of the Association throughout the succeeding year. Every man who is in the association now or expects to be next year should be vitally interested in the selection of this committee and should come to the meeting prepared to express his personal opinion or to make suggestions regarding the men selected to make up this committee. If the members of the Association are not able to be present they should write to the County Agent stating their preference, for such communications will receive due consideration before the committee is appointed. Other matters of interest to be taken up on Saturday are the appointing of a purchasing committee, the discussion of a plan of work to follow for next year and ways and means of increasing the membership up to the maximum of 200 which has been set. In order to conduct the business of the Farm Bureau constitutionally we must have a quorum. The members of the executive committee should be interested enough as representatives of their local club to attend the meeting on Saturday, and will be expected to come. To others who are interested in the Farm Bureau, $ o_{r} $ should be interested, this may be taken as an invitation to attend the meeting on Saturday and thereby to have a voice in whatever business is transacted. D'ainage Engineer Here Good. The Department of Agriculture and the University cooperating will send a drainage expert to Berkeley county within the next ten days. The expert will investigate the needs of various tracts in the county for drainage and will make any recommendations which he finds advisable. If any farmer in the county has a piece of land which is in need of draining, here is an opportunity to find out what should be done to put it into cultivation at a reasonable cost. Write or telephone the County Agent and he will place you on the schedule which the drainage expert expects to follow while in this county. Don't hesitate if you want to obtain the advantage of a visitation to Berkeley county by one who has made a specialty of drainage problems and surveying. FARMERS' CANDIDATE WINS IN VIRGINIA WESTMORELAND DAVIS WILL HEAD DEMOCRATIC TICKET IN THE OLD DOMINION. WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.—Westmoreland Davis, of London county, a wealthy farmer and retired lawyer, who was attacked as being sympathetic with the "wets" by the Anti-Saloon League, was nominated in the primaries held yesterday for Governor of Virginia by a plurality over J. Taylor Elyyson and John Garland Pollard ranging from 5,000 to 10,000 in the Democratic State primary held Tuesday, according to bejated returns reaching Washington today. His nomination is equivalent to his election in November. Ellyson, who was supported by the big leaders in the Democratic "State organization," $ a_{8} $ well as by the Anti-Saloon League leaders, ran second, with J. Garland Pollard, the present Attorney General, supported by the "anti-organization" leaders, third. Returns up to last midnight indicated Ellyson's nomination, but early today the Davis strongholds began coming in and put the Loudon county farmer in the lead. Intense interest centred around the Gubernatorial contest and the nomination of Davis excited widespread comment and interest in national politics in Washington on account of the temperance question having been projected into the fight by the drys with the hope of beating the Louden county candidate. Used 40 Years CARDUI The Woman's Tonic Sold Everywhere Miss Georgetta Brown, of Beechwood, Me., is visiting friends in Martinsburg. Local Notes. Mr. Henry Ford, of Datksville, was in our city this week. Mr. John Sampson, formerly of this town, but now of Pittsburg, Pa., visited his mother and was prefect by his many friends. Mr. C. H. Marshall, proprietor of the Ford Barber Shop, who recently visited New York, says he had some time. Mrs. Murchel Bennett, of Harrisburg, Pa., who was called here by the death or her mother, Rachel Briscoe, has returned home. Rev. S. M. Peave, former pastor of Mt. Zion M. E. Church, but now of Roanoke, Va., is spending some time among old friends and acquaintances in this city. Mr. James A. Savoy, a veteran Government employee of Washington, D.

He has had charge of the House barber show continuously for nearly forty-seven years, during which period he has conversed with and shaved the Nation's greatest men. 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."

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.

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.
