has taken active hold in the shaping

to naval or marine officers, will, as far
as possible, be prepared at his personal
direction.
1t was announced that, while the sit.
uation on the isthmus was in no way
alarming to the Washington govern
ment, it was sufficiently delicate to ne
ccssitate the most careful and diplo.
matte handling. and for this reason
secrecy has been enjoned upon officials
OF the department regarding the opera
tions OF the ships and marines. The
only official information on the sub
ject will be given out at the direction
OF the Secretary.
At a conference between Secretary
Moody and Brigadier General George

Corps, the latter reported that upon p

DIR. MAXEY'S OPINION
On the Political Situation in Germany
New Law Professor Writes for
Gunton's Magazine.

Gunton's magazine for September
contains scholarly article by DIR
Edwin Maxey of the University
Law Faculty, on THE Political
Situation in Germany 1t shows
not only an intimate knowledge on
the part OF the writer of the facts
involved, but also firm grasp on
economic principles and conditions
generally.
DR.. Maxey finds the cause of the
remarkable increase in the numbe
of Socialists in Germany to be due
to the recently enacted tariff law
which he says, was concession to
the Agrarians. These laws we're
enacted 4 to secure tue adherence
OF the Agrarians to the imperial
military and naval program and ca
to check the american Invasion. .
He thinks large proportion of the
people are opposed to militarism,
the Liberals from principle, the So
cialists because it rubs.
The Tariff law is unpopular with
the masses because it increases the
price of food Under the present
industrial conditions in Germany.
Dir. Maxey thinks this will be hurt
full, if not disastrous to the pros
perity of the empire. Anyway, he
predicts troublesome times for the
Kaiser. The situation bids far to
become critical in the near future.

GRAND LARCENY CHARGE
Conner and Jackson Held in
$500 Bond for Grand Jury.

William Jackson and Bruce Conner,
the two men who were arrested Tues
day on the charge of stealing watch
and ring from a drunken man near the
Valley Wood Working Company, were
given hearing before Squire Shoe
maker Tuesday afternoon The JUS
tiee held them in $500 bond each for
the grand jury. In default of bail,
they were sent to jail. Conner and
Jackson are both Preston county men,
and unless their friends there will
stand for them, they will not be able
to give bail.
The charge against the men is grand
larceny. the articles stolen being suf-
ficiently valuable to come under that
class OF crime. The principal witness
for the state was boy, son OF Geo.
Smith. He testified that the men
under arrest came to him and told
him they would take the man who
was drunk, away if he would get the
wine-jug from him. He did this. He
saw watch guard on his vest when
they took him away. A third man
was called In to help them. They
took the man up the road and left
him. Shortly afterwards Miss Smith
and her brother thought of the watch,
and went to get it. When they got
there, it was missing To their know
ledge, no one was near the man who
was robbed except those who took him
away.
Conner returned the ring Monday
evening about eight o'clock. He states
that he told Jackson he had it early
in the morning.
