A Warning Shot.


One of the strange incidents of war,
especially during a state of siege, is
the friendly relations which exist be-
tween enemies when of duty. At one
moment the soldiers Of the opposing
armies will be chatting socially and
exchanging favors, the next-shoot-
ing each other down as deadly foes. A
little incident told by Mr.. Ripley in
his STORY of Company F." gives a
glimpse Of a genial interlude in the
grim Civil War.
During the siege of Petersburg, it
was the custom for the opposing
pickets to grant temporary truces for
the purpose of preparing food. Half
an hour, perhaps, would be agreed
upon, and its limit would be scrupu-
lousy observed when ''time" was
called. Then every man would hurry
under cover.
On one occasion a Confederate was
slow to respond to the warning. He.
to all appearances, did not realize that
he was in sight. While the others
hurried to their posts, he sat quietly
blowing his coffee and munching his
bareback. Fortunately for him he was
in plain sight Of a sentinel less blood
thirsty than some. This man thought
it only fair to give him farther warn
ing.
az say, Johnny" he shouted, "time's
up! Get into your holew
"All right" replied Johnny" still
blowing his coffee.
"Just hold that cup still a minute
and I'll show you whether it's all right
or notr!' shouted the s~harpshooter.
The Confederate began to suspect
that he was in fact visible, and he
held his cup still for an instant as he
looked up and around. This afforded
the desired opportunity for the sharp
shooter. With a well-sent bullet he
knocked the cup clean out Of the own
er's hand. With sudden agility the
surprised Confederate made haste to
disappear, amid the jeers and laughter
of both lines of gickets.

GoRMAN REPLIED TO WAKEFIELD.
Essential Portions of His Comment on
Governors Action

Senator German, in the Baltimore Sun
this morning, gives his views on Governor
Warfield's recent statement in opposition
to the ratification of the Poe amendment.
The essential portions of Senator Cor
mans comments on the governors course
follow:
Mr.. Warfeld was elected governor upon
the distinct issue of eliminating the negro
voter. He is keenly conscious of that fact,
and he realizes the unfortunate position
in which he stands.
1.-The governor has satisfied himself that
upon this question he is Alpha and Omega.
This is a most unfortunate and dangerous
conclusion for any leader Of his party to
reach. L am the party, am the state,
does not sound we'll l think such an as
sumption indefenSible
when will we again elect three -fifths
of the members of the general assembly ?
The governor knows the time IS now, and
that If the amendment Is not adopted 1t
fastens upon the state for 4 long time un-
limited negro suffrage.
''The governor knows that if the amend
ment can be defeated this can only come
by the misuse of the great power tntrusted
to him by the democratic party.
II think the white men Of Maryland,
without regard to party, have determined
to settle this question, and by fair ana
lawful mathods, so l look for the adoption
of this amendment.
1T Is the only time in his whole career
that 1 have ever known the governor to
insist on his own Judgment being superior
to all of his party fellows. and l know
of no man in the state who has more
strongly advocated party discipline or who
has more vigorously denounced party in
subordination.
"It is plain to me that he has made
a fatal mistake in abandoning the we'll
beaten path of independence of thought,
coupled with unity In all party action,
that has brought such great success to
him and me- 1t has given 10 both OF us
station and prominence probably beyond
our deserts"

Mr.. Wolf at State Department.

After mailing this letter Mr.. Wolf went
to the Department of State to present the
matter to Secretary Root. Mr.. Wolf is
greatly grieved by the deplorable condi-
tions reported to be existing in Russia and
the terrible condition of his co-religionsts
there, and says he stands ready now. as
ever, to take any step that can be taken
in behalf of the unfortunate Hebrews who
are being killed and mutilated and their
homes sacked by Russian mobs. At this
time, however, he believes the best that
can be done is to send money and clothing
and food supplies to the sufferers.
Mr.. Wolf addressed q letter to Secretary
Root, enclosing a copy of the letter he
had written to Chief Rabbi Levanthal in
Philadelphia. and inquired of Secretary
Root whether he had stated correctly the
position of the government and, If not
whether anything could be done in behalf
of the Russian Jews.
Mr.. Wolf was informed by Mr.. Adee, act

SYMPATHY FOR JEWS
STRAUS CALLS AT
THE WHITE HOUSE.
Mr.. Simon Wolf Addresses Letter to
Secretary Root-Has Received
Many Appeals.

Following conference with Secretary
Root, as well as with Oscar Straus OF New
York President Roosevelt today announced
that he does not see that any acton can
be taken by this government at present
that will be of any benefit to the unfortu-
nate Jewish sufferers in the Russian riots,
for whom he feels such keen sympathy"
Oscar Straus called on the President to
discuss with him the deplorable situation
in Russia. The President said he had been
reading with deep concern the reports OF
the massacres; that he had been appealed
to within the last few weeks to take some
action, not only in behalf of the Russian
Jews. but on behalf of the Armenians,
Poles and Firms.
1t is stated that the result of the inquiries
of the President comedies with the state
ments contained in the following cable from
NJ. Witte to Jacob H. Schiff, shown to the
President by Mr. Straus:
The government Is Mortified at these out
RACES You know that l, less than any one,
do not sympathize with such savage out
breaks. All that l can do to stop the dis
orders is done. but as the country Is in
such an excited state the local authorities
are often powerless.'
MIR. Straus was former minister from
this country to Turkey and Is one of the
representative men of his race. 1t had been
the hope of a number of prominent Hebrews
that the President could afford to make
some representations to Russia that might
relieve the bloody situation and bring hope
to the Jews.
Appeals to Simon Wolf
The recent atrocities committed in Rus
STA, due largely to the revolutionary spirit
now rampant there, and which have re-
suited in the massacre and manning of
many Jews and the destruction of their
property, has caused Hebrews in all parts
of the United States to deluge Mr.. Simon
Wolf of this city with letters and tele-
grams. These communications are appeals
to Mr.. Wolf to bring the outrages strongly
to the attention Of this government with
the hope that something may be done by
the Department of State to alleviate exist
ing conditions in overwrought Russia.
Mr.. Wolf, as chairman of the board of
delegates on civil rights of the Union of
American Hebrew Congregations, receives
many such letters and kilograms whenever
the outbreaks against his co-religionists
take place in the land of the czar, but
these recently received are particularly
earnest and persistent. Last night he re-
ceived a telegram from Rabbi B. L. Levan-
thai, who is the chief rabbi of all the Rus
sian Jews in Philadelphia, which said:
Don't you think it necessary TO do
something about the Russian Jewish out

attention locally is that for the clerkship
for Alexandria county. The candidates are
Mr.. George H. Rucker, the incumbent who
was elected six years ago. and Mr.. Richard
w. Johnson, formerly commonwealth attor-
ney for the county. Mr.. Rucker is a DEM
ocrat and Mr.. Johnson has been known as
a republican, but the latter is said RELY

strictly party vote the county is claimed to
be safely democratic. Mr. Johnsons 8

Mr.. VOLTS Reply.

In reply to this dispatch Mr.. Simon WOLF
today mailed the following communication
to Chief Rabbi Levanthal:
"Your telegram reached me late on Sat
urday evening, and of course l could do
nothing yesterday. Prior to the receipt
thereof / had already written to the Secre-
tary of State, Hon. Elihu Root, in regard
to the outrages perpetrated on our CORE
ligionlsts in Russia l was aware then, as
l am now, that our government Is practi-
cally powerless to do anything in the mat
ter. Good offices under the circumstances
are elementary, for unfortunately the gov
ernment of Russia itself is in no condition
to protect its own citizens. The condition
at this juncture is anomalous. The cZar
inspired by Count Witte, and compelled by
circumstances over which he has no con-
troll, has yielded to the demands of the
Russian people.
A new era is dawning, and naturally ex-
cesses under the circumstances are the re-
suit of this evolution. 1t is deplorable and
heartrending to realize that, as in so many
instances in history, our people have to be
the victims of old and new conditions, but
we must be just, although suffering, and
concede that out of this terrible slaughter
and turmoil the white-robed angel of peace
and equal rights will emerge, and that the
citizens of Russia, irrespective of faith,
will he benefited thereby.
