CHARLESTON, w. Va, April q
West Virginia landowners will here
after be protected against spectators
when geologic resources of value are
discovered underlying their proper
ties and the landowners will be given
the first information of such values.
Such an order was entered today oy
the West Virsi n'a state geolos' cal

owners of the land and in some in
stance the owner sold his property
without knowing its underlying ma
turaI resources. AS a result of Gov
ernor Hatfield's motion the assistant
biologists are authorized to furnish
the Information to the landowners

WORK
GUILE ACTIVE
Farmers and Gardeners Are
Preparing Their Ground for
Planting Time.

Signs OF spring are multiplying and
they can be seen at every turn. In
the country, farmers and gardeners
are preparing their land for the time
when it will be planting time and
much of the heavy blowing has al
ready been done, but there is much
other preliminary work before plant
ing can be undertaken except in the
small way.
In the city it is easy to guess that
spring has arrived and owners OF
lawns by the score can be seen at
work every afternoon and evening
with rake or other implement clean
ing up lawns and getting the flower
plots ready for the time when 1T Will
be safe to plant.
Hundreds are sowing grass seed
and in other ways encouraging the
struggling lawns. Local dealers IN
grass seed say there has been an IN
usual demand in the last few days
and evidently, quite a number of
lawns must have been frozen out by
the severe winter and through the
carelessness of the owner in not Civ
ing some sort of protection.
Thousands of packages of govern
ment seeds, flower and vegetable,
have been received In the city the
past two weeks and there has been a
brisk demand for these because peo-
pie are just beginning to realize they
are available Many packages came
addressed direct to persons, but sew
eral big bundles in which were many
individual packages, have been dis
tributed.
It seems to be the general opinion
that when spring once opens up, 1t
will stick. This opinion is large based
on the fact that there has been an
unusually severe winter, which to
many is the sign Of an early spring
and certain 1t is that the signs indi-
cate a good growing year and things
have been held back by the cold and
they will escape some of the late
frosts at least.

GERMAN TURNING
MOVEMENT FAILS
IN IT'S ATTEMPT
Hope Gathers Strength That Al
lies Left Is Ready
For Revenge

London, Sept u.-t437 A. M).-The cor
respondent of the Times at Bordeaux
sends the following:
ut is now beyond doubt that the Ger
man turning movement to the southeast
of Paris has been defeated, and there is
a dawning hope that the allies LETT
which has borne a rain of the enemys
blows since the fighting at Mons began,
is now about to take it's revenge.
1.-The Germans have been fighting des-
perately to guard their line of commu-
nicaton, which is in considerable dan
ger from the allies left. They have been
forced to retreat before the onslaught of
the British and the withdrawal of the
German right is bound to assist the
French in forcing back the center unless
the Germans desire again to find them
selves obliged to follow the imperial
chancellor's advice and hack their way
through.
The German check in front of the
Meux and Verdun line has had its echo
throughout the field of operations. On
the extreme French right the enemy's
division, bearing down upon Nancy. has
been thrown back behind the forest of
Champenoux."

Allies Gain Steadily While the German
Machine Shows Growing Signs of Wear

to the enemy's retreating movement.
THE Ourca formed the upper blade
of a pair of shears of which, as they
were gradually closed, the Grande Mo-
rim, the Petit NORM and the river
Marine formed the lower blade.
Immediately the German staff real
lied this situation it endeavored to ex-
tricate itself from between the blades
by a rapid retreat and by a series of
furious but fruitless onslaughts upon
the French holding the right bank of
the Ourcq.
That the fighting here has been of
a peculiarly desperate character is
shown by the fact that of two stand
ards captured, one, that of the 36th
Infantry Regiment of Magdeburg, was
torn from the hands of its bearer by
French infantry reservist.
THE French, however, stand firm
along the Ourcq, while the British have
crossed the Marine and driven the enc
my distance of rs miles.
From the center news is meagre
but che French are understood to be
progressing.
1.-The Germans apparently are suf-
fering from lack of ammunition and
it would seem that their difficulties in
obtaining supplies from their base
have only begun. If all their plans
succeed, as they have done during the
last few days, the allies should be well
on their way to victory

INFORMATION
AS TO DISPLAY
OF OLD GLORY

Owing to a discussion of local par
ties as to the legality of displaying the
American flag as a political banner.
our patriotic citizen, o. E. Tallman,
u. S. N, retired, says the Richmond
Bee, wrote to the navy department for
information and received the following
reply:
Referring to your letter of August
23d, requesting information as to the
legality of displaying the flag as a po-
litical banner, stating that a political
party in the Town of Richmond, has
raised a flag with banner attached to
it bearing the name of the candidate,
you are informed that there is no fed
eral law which forbids the use of the
flag for this purpose. A bill has
passed the Senate which prohibits the
use of the flag for the purpose of ad-
vertising. but this bill has not yet be-
come a law"
In order to show proper respect for
the flag the following ceremony
should be observed:
The Flag should not be hoisted be-
fore sunrise nor allowed to remain up
after sunset
At Morning and Evening Colors''
civilian spectators should stand at
attention" and uncover during the
playing of the Star Spangled Ban
ner." Military spectators are required
by Regulation to stand at attention
and give the military salute The
flag should never be allowed to touch
the ground and should never be raised
or lowered by any mechanical appli-
ance.
When the National Colors are pass
ing on parade, or in review, the spec
tator should, if walking, halt, and if
sitting, arise and stand at attention
and uncover
Whenever the Star Spangled Ban
ner' is being played or sung, all per-
sons within hearing should rise and
stand, uncover. during it's rendition.
When the National and State. or
other flags fly together. the National
Flag should be on the right
When the flag is flown at half staff
as sign of mourning 1t should be
hoisted to full staff at the conclusion
of the funeral
The National Salute is one gun for
every State. The International Salute
is, under the Law of Nations. 81 guns
Whenever possible the Flag should
be flown from staff or mast, but
should not be fastened to the side OF
building, platform, or scaffolding
1t should not be used as cover over a
table, desk or box, and where any,
thing can be set or placed upon the
Flag.
When the Flag is used as a banner
the union should fly to the north in
streets running east and west and tc
the east on streets running north and
south
When flags are used in unwilling a
statue or monument thew should moi
be allowed to fall to the groud. but
should be carried aloft to wave ont
forming a distinctive feature during
the remainder of the ceremony.

London, Sept. 11.-tS30 A. N.Y.
deaux dated Thursday, says:
Since Sunday, when the enemy's
sweep southeast of Paris was check
ed on the Grande NORM, the Ger
man war machine has been showing
signs of wear, and each fresh day of
battle has closed with the allies in a
more favorable position.
"On Sunday there was furious fight
ing along the Grande NORM which
continued at La Ferte -Gaucher
throughout the night and on Monday
mroning the enemy began a retreat
upon their next line along the Petit
NORM.
Here they were allowed to rest,
for the allied forces were tasting the
rare Joy of the offensive and wished
to enjoy it to the full.
"On Tuesday the German command
first became apprehensive for the
safety of it's communications and saw
looming on its right flank POSSIBLE
ity of disaster.
North of Paris the French found
ample room for assembling a large
army and while the British were slip
ping from the northeast of Paris to
the east with the Germans, their place
of glory was taken by a strong French
force, which miyed up to the River
Ourcq and became a very serious
