nature. One OF these was the
sending by the Emperor of Ger
many OF a cordial message of
sympathy accompanied by how-
ers for the memorial service.
Under ordinary circumstances
such an act would be no more
than would have been expected
on the part of the ruler of q
neighboring nation. but in view
of the strained relations which
have existed between Germany
and France for many years the
Kaiser's conduct speaks highly
for his better feelings. The
manner in which his action has
been received in France shows
that there has been a great abat-
ment of the old-time bitterness
which would have Indignantly
scorned any exhibition of SYM
pathetic humanity upon the part
of a German ruler. When an
individual, a community or a ma
ton is in trouble a kindness is
vastly appreciated. and it may be
that the terrible Partisan disas-
ter may mark the beginning of
much more cordial relations be-
tween France and Germany.
Another result of the disaster
has been the gift by an unknown
donor of about S1s5,0oo, which
amount added to what was re-
.ceived on the first day of the
charity bazaar, equaled the total
which it was hoped to raise by the
managers thereof had not the
fire tiend interposed to stay their
work. The charitable work which
the bazar was intended to aid will
therefore be carried on this year
as in the past. Certainly the
making of such a gift displays
that there are noble feelings in
men which need only the cry of
suffering humanity to rouse them
to great deeds

THE SITUATION.

The Greeks were compelled to
retreat from Pharsalus after a
severe battle, and fell back on
Damokos, some twenty miles. By
cutting a connecting railroad the
Turks rendered the Greek posi-

latter abandoned the place on
Saturday. which was Immediate

promised protection to the in
habitants. Nearly the entire
population of Thessaly, some

outrages. Greece has now prac-
tically given up the fight, and is
understood to be willing to ac-
cept the conditions of the Powers
which will be those formulated
by Germany as the mouth piece
of Russia. These are understood
to include the withdrawal of the
Greek army from Crete, with
autonomy fer the latter, as pro-
posed by the Powers before the
war. 1t is not now believed that
the Powers will require Greece
! to cede territory to Turkey, ex-
cept a few strategic positions.

A FEW weeks ago the TELE-
GRAM referred to the complaints
made by cattle shippers in Har-
rison county in regard to freight
rates on cattle shipped by the
railroad to eastern markets. We
were informed that the shippers
of western states got better rates
than West Virginia shippers. A
TELEGRAM representative took
the pans to investigate this
question, and found that the com
plants referred to a state of
affairs that existed several years
ago. The passage of the inter
state commerce act and laws es-
tablished by the Traffic Associa-
ton has made a decided change
in the old arrangement, and ship
pers from points in West Vir-
GINA are not charged higher
rates than their competitors, but
an equitable schedule of rates
has been adopted, and all the
railroads are held strictly within
the lines of the agreement. The
rate wars that have occurred at
Different times between railroads
have. in the past, given the com.
mercial world some very decided
advantages. We recall an in
stance where the railroad shipped
cattle from Chicago to New York
and Philadelphia at direct loss
