tai countries less than we ever have
IN the past. simply because these
coutries will have little to sell.
Everything they produce will be
consumed or destroyed, and this viii
mean for US bigger trade balance
IN our favor than we have ever
known.
The wheat crop of the United
states in 1914 is over 100000. 900 bu

age over 81 bushel.
There are owned in Europe Ameri
can securities in bonds, stocks and

offered back to us at a very much de.
creased price, because Europe will
need the money.
And certain it is that our prosperity
Will enable us to absorb these securi
ties, thus paying off our debts at a
good, big cash discount.
We are producing people. Our
wealth was not gotten by conquest
exploitation or annexation. We have
plowed it out of the prairies, cut il
out of the forests, mined it out of the
mountains.
In America there are no war lords
We have not even militant sufragct
ties. The armed bully has no footing
here. We are farmers, manufactur
ers. transporters, miners. merchants
and when all Europe has gone crazy
fighting, destroying, and all the time
consuming and only few comparativ-

And we are going to improve it.
We are united people. II only re

not allow our nerves to get on the

The meeting of the bankers. with
J. J. Heard in the chair, as temporary
chairman, began at 1900 o'clock
The great facility with which the
bankers proceeded from the outset
Of the meeting was, indeed. an i'm
rressive feature. Each and every de-
tail was taken up in it's proper order,
the success of the organization being
accelerated as, step by step, the meet
ing progressed.
The initial step necessary for the
organization of the association began
when registration of the representa-
ton of the eligible banks began
The registration showed nineteen
banks represented by either their
presidents or vice presidents, and
each being eligible to membership by
virtue of the fact that their SURPRISES
were equaled to not less than 90 per
centum of their capital.
A recapitulation of all capitals and
SURPRISES showed a grand total of cap
ital and surplus for the nineteen banks
of s5,54S.5OO.
Six other banks were represented
but were at this time ineligible TO vote
by reason of the fact that they were
either represented by officers lower
than the grade of vice president. OF

GERMANY'S SIDE

man in Germany
Tot he Editor Courier-Journal:
At this critical time when so many
forces are apparently at work to in
form the people of this country and
thus prejudice them against Germany
in its present struggle FOR existence,
I can not restrain myself from writing
these few lines.
Reading the daily reports and 'opin-
ions' and so called statements Of
facts as to the cause of the present
Titanic struggle, and the efforts OF
certain interests to place the blame
for the whole catastrophe upon the
German Kaiser, my sense of justice
demands of me that l do my share to
set my countrymen, the Americans,
right Ny absolute faith in the fair
ness of the Aemerican people and
their ever willingness to give a square
deal to all, gives me every reason to
believe that sooner or later the sym
pathy of the people will be on the
German side, while this nation may
remain neutral officially.
Yes! l am a German. am proud OF
it BOAST of it. In my home, a
family with wife and six children, all
born in America, nothing but the Ger

understand English, or rather the Ian
guage OF the United States Of Amer
lea.
Yes, admit that I sympathise with
Germany. l am deeply interested as
have over forty of my closest relatives
on the German firing line. l myself
had the benefit, or the privilege, OF
German military training, and was a
member of the German reserve when
came to this country, of which
am a citizen for fourteen.
l believe myself to be good citizen
of this great country and love the Red
White and Blue. l believe that my
German education and military train
ing make me all the more able to be a
good citizen and to appreciate this
country and its government, as shall
give my reasons below:
The German Emperor has. been re-
ferred to for years as the German
War Lord" a poor translation of the
German "Kriegsherr. This means
commander-in-chief or master of war
The kaiser takes in Germany the same
position which the president of the
United States takes in this country
i. e., chief commander of the army
and navy.
l have just a little experience, en-
miniature, along this line of Wilt
Misrepresentation. I know the con
tinuous mud-slinging and character
assassination and plain, every day
lying can cause whole cities to de
nounce a man who looks upon him as
matter of fact as something "he
never was" and blame him for some
thing The never did"
If the German Kaiser is as he has
been misrepresented to be. war
Lord" a man always rafting with his
sword, always carrying a chip on his
shoulder, always looking for trouble
always challenging other nations tic
start something and will lick yot
all" etc., then indeed he would be al
international menace to peace among
the nations.
Then even I, a German at heart
would wish and pray for the defea
of the Kaiser's forces, for it would b
blessing in disguise for the German
nation to be freed from the govern

PETITION FOR
LIQUOR LICENSE.

The County Court last Saturday
heard the petition for license to sell
liquor in the Blackberry precinct of
Pike county, presented on the behalf
of Robt. Buskirk, saloon man OF
Matewan, w. Va. through his agents,
r. T. and JEFF Hatfield, and attorney
c. M. Whit, of Williamson.
The permit to carry on liquor bus
mess on the edge of Pike county near
the West Virginia shore is desired in
view OF the fact that West Virginia is
now a dry state. The Hatfield broth
ersJ propose to erect saloons on the
Kentucky shore opposite the town of
Matewan and erect a foot bridge across
the Tug river.
The petition presented to the County
Court upon which license is asked to
be granted was signed by almost every
resident of the Blackberry precinct and
sets up very strong reasons why the
license sought should be granted. Coal
operators claim they find it difficult to
keep men at work in dry county, and
for this reason operators generally
have indorsed the petition. If IL were
left to the vote of the citizens of that
locality to decide the question of Ii
cense, the vets would carry by an
overwhelming majority But the OPP
position claim that the county is en-
tirely dry by a special act OF the Leg
islature years ago, known as the Hib-
bard act, and until that act is repealed
no election for the purpose of changing
the status of any precinct in the coun-
ty upon the liquor question can be
held.
At final hearing of the case Tues
day the court rendered judgment deny
ing the license prayed for, which puts
final end to the proceedings. 1t is
now up to the West Virginia liquor
men, If they would sell intoMcants in
Pike county, to vote the entire county
wet at a general election. And this
cannot be done unless the county is
divided
The petitioners in this case are the
parties seeking division of Pike
county by special legislative act.

BURGLARS GET RICH HAUL.

Thieves entered the office of the
Greer botanical drug plant last Thurs
day night and took two large bags of
ginseng and yellow root valued at more
than $4OO. The burglary was discover
ed Friday morning and the police were
notified; but as yet the yeggs had left
presumably by the morning train taxi
ing the loot with them, the police were
unable to find any trace of them either
in the town or surrounding country
Property of this description was found
by officer Sam Smedley at Ashland
Saturday and Mr.. Greer went to Ash
land Sunday morning to identify It
and secure its return, but the thieves
have not yet been apprehended. II is
thought, however, that this is one of a
series OF similar robberies between
lronton, o., and Pikeville during the
past month, and that the burglars are
not natives OF this locality.
The yeggs were only prevented from
securing a much richer haul by the fact
that the company had shipped away a
large consignment OF ginseng and yell
low root the day before.
