Now that the prohibition amend

adopted by a vote OF the people by
a majority not less than $4,000 and

dering what the effect OF the amend
ment will be, and just how far it will
affect personal liberty" about which
so much was said Nrr1ng the cam
paign. Certainly the amendment will
not prevent or prohibit any man or
woman from taking a drink. In Or
der TO satisfy many inquiries, the
text of the amendment adopted on
Tuesday is published in full. as fol.
lows:
"On and after the first day of July,
nineteen hundred and fourteen, the
manufacture sale and keeping for
sale OF malt, yinucus, or spurious
liquors. wine, ale, porter, beer or any
intoxicating drink, mixture or prepa-
ration of like nature, except as here
matter provided, are hereby prohibit
ed in this state.
Provided. However, that the man
ufacture and sale and keeping for
sale, of such liquors of medicinal
sacramento or scientific purposes
and the manufacture and sale of de
natured alcohol for industrial pur-
poses may be permitted under such
regulations as the legislature may
prescribe. The legislature shall
without delay, enact such laws with
penalties. as may be necessary to car
~ into effect the provisions of this
section.
The legislature. of course, will not
attemLc TO prevent the shipment of
intoxicating beverages into the state
In other words. the purchase of beer
or whiskey in any other state in the
union, and its shipment into West
Virginia to the purchaser will not be
prohibited Neither will the legisla-
ture by statue prevent the farmer
from making wine from his own ap-
pies and grapes
How will it affect the clubs" is a
question frequently asked, The an
swer is that it will not affect any
club that is now operating, except
that orders for intoxicating bever-
ages will necessarily be placed in
states where such beverages may be
manufactured, and not in West Viz
ginia.
All the clubs in the state now sup
ply their members with beverages
on the theory that the member has
purchased and paid for and ordered
over his own signature, whatever he
drinks. The legislature will not, and
can not. pass a law, preventing a
man from drinking what he has le-
gally purchased, so long as his drink
ing is not offensive TO the public He
will be allowed to take a drink in
his club just as he will be allowed to
take a drink in his own home
The legislature, will in all prob
ability, prohibit by statue, the keep
ing of intoxicating beverages for sale,
under any conditions, by druggists.

ians. This will be done in pursuance

BALKAN WAR

Of Mountains, Rivers
and Lakes.

Greek navy the latter is pretty likely
10 have things its own way.
The most complete physical barrier
to communication east and west Is the
Rhodope range, but the most intricate
is in Albania, which runs in three par
allel systems, penetrated generally only
by the toughest tracks and quite I'M
suited for any military operations 9th
er than those of an essentially guer-
rila character.
Under such conditions of surface re-
lief the relation of the river valleys TO
the mountain barriers becomes exceed
ingly important, especially in the case
Of the Martha and the Vardar. That
Of the Martha Is the only route for an
army between the Thraco-Macedonia
highlands and the Istranja dagh. The
former system is practically uncrossa-
BILE, there not being a continuous track
even up the Arda valley, and the rec
tangular area between Adrianople and
the Black sea, the Ergene valley and
the frontier east of the TUNA, is so
difficult that there Is not a single trunk
road through it in any direction, al
though at least half a dozen branch
lines meet at the important town of
Kirk I<ilise dhe town of forty church
esq, recently taken by Bulgarians.
The Vardar plays similar part be-
tween the Thraco- Macedonian high
lands and the Albanian systems, al
though it has not a monopoly Of the
area.
The parallel Struma valley works
around the obstacle through pass
near Juma, which is not more than
LOCO feet above the sea, and trunk
line runs along the eastern bank Of
the river for some distance south of
the frontier, leading on north of it,
also by trunk line, to Dubnika, but the
torrential character of the river is so
marked, in spite of its length of 225
miles, that throughout part of its cen
trail course there is not even n contin-
uouS track.
The strategic importance of the Var
dar valley is, therefore, very great,
particularly as Uskub is situated there.
Uskub commands the Kachnik pass be-
tween the Shar dagh and the Kara
dagh into Kossovo, but it also controls
the old Roman military road around
the north ends of the Ostrovo. Presba
and Okhrida lakes to DurazZo by Ell
basan and the Shkumbi valley. This
route and the Drin valley are the keys
to northern Albania. just as the Viosa
valley and the Metsovo pass are to
southern Albania.
Janina, in the extreme south of Al
bania, commands the west of the Met
sovo pass, from the trunk line from
Arta via Kalivia to the port Of Santi
Quaranta and to the lakes via Osta-
nitse and Koritsa. The latter road
joins. at the head Of Lake Presba, the
trunk line between Mona-tir and
Okhrida, and this makes the little viii
lage of Kasiak the real key to the lake
plateau.
About twenty-five miles to the west
of Constantinople are the famous lines,
extending across the peninsula from

ELECTRIC ENGINE
AMONG THE RELICS
Baltimore and Ohio Road sends One
of the First Used Here to be
PLACED in Storage

Evidently the first electric locomo-
tives used by the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad for pulling trains through
the long tunnel under the city of
Baltimore have become obsolete and
are no longer equal to the task of
pulling the heavy trains of today as
they were nearly a score of years
ago when they were first put into
use
One of the first of the engines built
for the railroad by the General Elec-
trio Company of Schenectady has been
brought TO this city from the Mount
Glare shops and will be placed in
the old round house at the east end
of the yards where it will repose
with the old engines and models
which are kept as relics to mark the
progress of railroading in this coun-
try.
This old round house contains
many of the antiquated steam pow
er engines, from the old Fulton, to
the later type Of "Grasshopper' and
Camel Back" This new addition to
the collection will bring the relies
up to modern railroading
The engine which now stands on
a side track just west of the Burke
street bridge has been dismantled of
a great many of its parts but it will
serve for exhibition purposes as the
connections for lighting it have been
preserved.
While the engine bears the NO, l.
on its sides, yet it is not No. /, for

time for other work besides housing

Adrianople is the most important of
the three objective points, 1t is sit

TUNA and the Arda make the Martha
navigable at the junction of short
trunk roads from the valleys of both
these tributaries and of a number of
branch roads with the great Eastern

From twenty-five to thirty works are
grouped around the town proper. Some
half dozen more have been erected
along the right bank of the Martha.

point of the Greek columns operating

The strategic position of Salonikt,
