MA1TiNSBuRG, w. Va, Oct. 3.
The question of the validity OF the
famous West Virginia cedar rust
law which has caused intense bitter
ness in all sections of the state be-
tween the fruit grOwcrsa nd owners
of cedar trees was passed upon by
Judge j. NJ. Woods in the circuit
court here yesterday, the court
holding that the law is constitution
al in every provision.
This law was designed by the leg
islature to protect fruit growers
from injury by reason of the so-call-
ed cedar rust and other infectious
plant diseases and provided that ce.
dar and other trees harboring such
diseases might be destroyed under
certain conditions without compen-
nation TO the owners of the trees. At
tcnpts have been made to put the
law into operation in various parts
bf the state but in Berkeley county
1t met with great resistance, result
ing in much litigation in the local
circuit court. including an attack
upon Tie constitutionality of TIL"

LONDON, Oct. 3.-Unusual activ-
fty in the publicity department of
tile German and Austrian army head
quarters has furnished an account OF
the result of.current battles differ
ing so radically Fl aom those from
the camps Of their opponents as to
render the widely divergent state
,ments irreconcIliable. -,
In regard to the battle OF the
Aisne, there is only single point Of
which the German and French re-
ports agree and that is that Gen.
Won kluck still is going northward,
though at snail's pace, and that he
is so powerful that Gen. Joffre has
been Obliged to admit shat the Ger
man commander has. been able to
make French detachment debouch-
ing from Arras to fall back.
Further south in the neighbor-
hood OF Roye, according. to the Ger
man staff the Frenchahave been dis
lodged from positions but the French
statement declares flat all the Ger
mans assaults there were shattered.
Again the Germans assert that they
have fought their way southwars
and have made substantial advances
in the Argonne district, and the
French counter tllis.by claiming TO
have made progress there: while on
she far eastern e4sF d 0f-@-tle line
around the river Meuse the French
claim to have driven the last Ger
man back across the river and the in
vaders say they have defeated all at
tacks of the French in TINT quarter.
Each side thus is furnished the
news 1t wants to hear. For the neu-
tral observer, the only certainty is
that these intermittent conflicts
along the immense line. furnish only
a series OF small cumulative results
which gradually tend in given d.
rcction, mad to an outcome which
will be duly determined when the
present process of attrition COM
plctcs its course.
The new army Of Emperor Mich
olas is in march and according to til"
Pctrograd general staff. the Muscov-
ties once more have crossed the Ger
man frontier. Szezueszyn and Gra-
tewo, Russian Poland. This is con-
ccivably awkward for German invid-
ers, who are said to be retreatinG
from Sulwalki district.

A Century AGO.

One hundred years ago Dr. Thomas
Fanshawe Middleton was consecrated
first bishop OF Calcutta. The conse.
Grafton took place in London. and soon
afterward the new bishop sailed for
India. In Calcutta. he laid the foun.
dation for the Bishops college In 1920,
and established consistory court In
that city. While zealously engaged in
his duties he was attacked with q
fever. OF which he died in 1922. For
more than century the efforts to
spread the Christian faith In India
have continued. Numerically the
Christian population In the great east.

amounting to only about one per cent
of the population. but it is generally
admitted to have an influence out OF
all proportion to its numbers.
