81 don't see how the Railroad Com
mission is going to enforce its order
unless it appeals to the governor TO
call out the militia and have them
charge down on the property" said At
torney f. Howard MiCaleb, for the
Grand Isle Railroad.
He had been asked about the next
step in the railroads fight on the STATE
Railroad Commissions order to show
cause why it should not be compelled
to cease operating for failure to obey
the commissions previous order TO
make certain physical improvements
The Federal District Court here re
fused TO grant the roads application
for an injunction to restrain the com
mission from enforcing its order.
Appeal to Higher Courts Not Likely.
While the railroad has the right Of
appeal to the United States Supreme
Court, it appeared that it was not in
.cIined to take this step unless TEN
porary restraining order against the
commission could be secured from the
district court pending hearing on the
appeal. 1t is said that the court did
not encourage such a hope.

HEROIC sELF-SACRlFICE
IN CAPTURE OF TOWN


PARIS, Dec. 31-How the heroic
self-sacrif1ce OF six French bluejack-
cts made possible the capture OF st.
Georges, town less than two miles
from Nieuport is described by a COR
respondent in Flanders. He says:
The attackers had driven the
Germans from the advanced trenches
but taking refuge in the houses in
the village the Germans soon placed
their assailants In different posi-
ton. The; situation of a force of
Belgians isolated on strip Of land
surrounded by food became critical
and the artillery alone was able to eff
feet anything against the enemy.
The British batteries at Ramscap-
pelle tried but their shells Hurst over
the French. Six bluejackets then
hoisted u three-inch gun on punt
and poled along the canal behind the
village. running the gauntlet OF the
German rifles. AS one was hit an
othher took the pole and continued
until he in turn fell stricken. The
sixth man was mortally wounded as
with a last push he sent the punt to
the bank where the French advance
guard was waiting. The. gun was
quickly landed and few shots at 400
yards brought the houses on top OF
the German, who retrieved into the
srms Of battalion Of Belgians. The
latter completed the enemy's rout.
Meanwhile the French columns tri-
umphantly took possession Of the
heap OF ruins which was formerly
st. Georges and before night the en-
einaara had established bridge
head enabling the allies artillery to
debounch ON the right bank of the
Yser."

LOCAL DISTRICT GETS
FOUR MORE CHARGES
As Result Of Changes Made
by Methodist Bishop in
Conference Here.

Before departing for his home in
Washing gton, D. c.. "Wednesday night
on train No. 4, the Rev. Earl Grams
ton, Methodist Episcopal bishop, an
nounced that as a result of the con-
ference held at the Waldo hotel here
with district superintendents of the
West Virginia Conference, the confer
ence would hereafter have but seven
such superintendents.
I The object Of the conference was to
supply the vacancy caused by the
death of the Rev. George W. Brent,
superintendent of the Huntington dis
trict, who passed away last week at
his home In Huntington. After pro-
longed deliberation the bishop decid-
ed to dissolve the Huntington district
and the state was thereupon divided
into seven districts to take the place
of the eight heretofore existing.
The Buckhannon district, which
Clarksburg and It's suburbs,
was enlarged by the addition of the
charges at Salem and Bristol, the
charge at Clay Court House and the
adjoining charge toward Charleston.
The Rev. L. E. Ressegger,. OF Buck
harmon, is the superintendent of this
district.
The Wheeling district was extend
ed further down the Ohio river so as
to include the charges at Sistersville
and Middlebourne. heretofore in the
Parekrsburg district. The Parkers-
burg district was extended to include
Point Pleasant and about dozen
charges from the Charleston district.
The greater part Of the Huntington
district was absorbed with the
Chariest6n district. The remaining
Idistfieta were similarly enlarged.

Before They Make Further Of
fensiye Movement Against
Whole German Line.
ALLIED LOSSES ARE HEAVY
Hard Pressure Necessary to
Prevent Germans Moving
Troops to Eastern Field.

LONDON. Dec. S1-There are in
dications in the opinion of British OBJ
servers OF events on the continent
that a serious allied offensive moye-
ment against the whole German line
In the western arena Of the war will
be postponed until such time as
larger cont5Hgents OF Lord Kitchen-
er's new army take the field. The
losses OF the allies sustained up to
the present time In the tentative
thrusts forward here and there have
been heavyin the proportion to the
gains achieved and 1t is understood
that the various leaders unite in the
opinion that the sacrifices entailed
by general advance at this time
would be too great.
The turn OF events in the eastern
theater Of hostilities. where Russia
appears to be more than holding her
own. necessitates nevertheless con-
tinued hard pressure against the
German lines in the west to prevent
them from moving any more of their
troops to the eastern field.
In the west the town of LaBasse
still held by the Germans is proving
3 TO be one of the hardest problems
the allied forces have to solve. The
invaders have thrown up exceptional
ly strong earthworks around LaBasse
and they have two army corps in the
city. To take this stronghold by di-
rect assault would mean a terrible
loss OF life but its taking is essential
to any concerted move forward in
in order, to provide protection for
the communication Of the allies.
All the news sreacring London from
the east tends to confirm the rout of
tho Austrian forces, which now APP
pear to be endeavoring to make their
way laboriously back over the Car
pathians. There are Indications In
london that the entire continental
political situation. which involyes
Greece. Italy Roumania and Portu-
gal. Is developing day by day. Even
the participation in the war by at
least some of these states will soon
become reality. This is the view
of certain of the British commentors
on the situation. Among the factors
contributing to this situation is
Italy's occupation OF Avlona and the
reported racial unrest in Austria
Hungary.
Among the factors contributing to
this situation is Italy's occupation
of Avlona and the reported racial un-
rest in Austria Hungary, where the
Roumanian subjects of Emperor
Francis Joseph are said to be on the
point Of rebellion as well as Ger
many's continued aggression in An
COLA. the Portuguese possession in
western Africa.
The German air raid on the chan
mel port Of Dunkirk in France gives
basis for the belief that visits OF
this kind will be more frequent from
now on. 1t would appear that the
British raid on Cuxnaven aroused
in the Germans spirit Of retalia-
ton. England, judging from the ex-
pressions appearing in the newspa-
pers, is just as anxious to deliver
blow for blow In this respect.
