WITCHCRAFT m WEST VIRGINIA

and important part The history Of this
crime shows a condition OF affairs exist
ing in portions Of the United States
which is startling in the last degree.
Briefly. the story Of the tragedy is as
follows.
About a year ago there came to

THE NAVY MUST BE BUILT UP"

The words qouted in the caption
were uttered by President Roosevelt
in the last speech he made on his
Western trip. They are significant
from whatever standpoint we may
regard them It Is quite possible
that the President had in mind moth

his conviction ON this subject, and to
impress the necessity Of building mp

the country. And vet It Is difficult
