WILLIAM R. HEARST
ON THE WAR AND TARIFF

Mr., W. R. Hearst, the great
newspaper publisher and Dem
ocratic leader, of New York,
talks with a great deal of
sound sense when he discusses
the present Democratic admin
istration and the tariff. In a
recent publication in his paper
he says:
"In the first place, the war
will undo many Of the mistakes
of our Democratic party. 1t
will, for a time at least, restore
a protective tariff. It will oper-
ate to keep the products of
some European nations out of
Of our country and it will en-
large our home markets to our
home producers"

Clear Weather
Says the Local
Weather Sage
THERE WILL BE NO FURTHER
RAIN AFTER TODAY, SAYS
L.W,S.
HIS ANXIETY FOR THE SUCCESS
OF THE BIG FAIR MAY BE
HIS BAROMETER.

The Old Local Weather Sage docs
not hold to the opinion, expressed By
many, that because IT rained Monday
It will rain every day this week, al
though 1t never rained harder in
Fairmont than It did last night ana
has continued to rain more or less all
day today. lie says that 1t will be
clear by tomorrow, and that there
will be dry tracks for the races.
Whether the old gentleman talks
In this optimistic manner simply be-
cause of his loyalty to Fairmont and
his desire to see the Fair a success or
whether his weather eye compcls him
to make the prediction for better
weather because he feels sure It Is
coming, Is not made plain. but we
believe that, the l.. w. S. has had a
good strong hunch to the effect that
tho rain is about TO end for the pres
ent.
He states that we will have some
thunder and possibly rain on satur-
day of this week, hut that Wcdncs-
day, Thursday and Friday will be
clear days in Fairmont.
1t has not been many months since
tile Old Weather Sage predicted a hot
sun for the fair while it was raining
in torrents, and his words came true.
Ii is to be hoped that he has not let
his anxiety for the success of the
fair bocloud his prognosticator. AMI
this time he may be as accurate as
he has been In the past. He seldom
fails, but the clouds this afternoon
stem to be against him.

scys probably showers Wednesday,
but the Old Local Sage, when given
this information, only replied: PAY
no attention to the Washington dope,
am giving You the straight tip OH

KING CHARLES is DEAD.
Crowds in Streets Cry for War AZ
Rumanians Mourn for Dead Ruler.

Bucharest. = The death sof King
Charles of Rumania gives friends OF
the allies a chance to swing the ma
tion into line with the powers which
are opposing the Kaiser.
The ministry and the people of Ru-
mania are openly in sympathy with
Russia, and great majority is anx-
ious to take part in the war against
Germany and Austria.
The influence of King Charles, who
was a Hohenzollern, and whose large
private fortune was invested in Ger
man securities. held back the tide OF
Slavonic sentiment that was sweeping
his kingdom. Without that influence
to fight it is believed the war party
will assume the direction of affairs,
and that Rumania will join the allies
within fortnight.
For weeks before the death of King
Charles, the ministry had been urging
the mobilization OF the army. He re-
fused to issue an order unless it was
understood that the mobilization was
directed against the allies.

{ Summary Of EventS.)

- In Northwestern France on the
Allies left wing, the main posi-
tons of the contcnding forces now
reach within ten or fifteen miles
of the Belgian border. while be-
yond those points masses of cav
airy continue the struggle over
the frontier line and into Bel
gium. Along the greater part of
the front, however, the antagon-
lists seem content to watch each
other without attempting any
definite movements.
Belgium 10 Desperate.
While the immense armies OF the
belligerent powers OF Europe are en-
gagged in death grapple along lines
hundreds of miles in extent. the in
trepid little army OF Belgium is max

Antwerp, one of the strongest fortified
positions in the world.

Washington. The United States
government will make no further move
in the Mexican situation and will re-
serve announcement of its future pol
icy toward the Mexican central gov
ernment until General CarranZa, the
first Constitutionalist chief. has given
formal guarantee of full protection of
aliens and Mexicans, irrespective of
their political affiliations and prom
ises not to reimpose customs duties
collected by Americans during the oc-
cupation of Vera Cruz.
That was the positive declaration OF
State Department officials following
the announcements that. despite two
attempts, Carranza has so far refused
satisfactorily to explain his position
as to what steps he contemplates TAX
ing upon the withdrawal of the Amer
lean forces from Vera Cruz.
1t was pointed out that General Fun
ston had secured the services of Mex
ican officials in the administration of
the civil government at Vera Cruz
upon the condition that they would be
protected when he withdrew. Under
Mexican law these officials are liable
for serving invaders to Imprisonment
for from five to twenty years. I'M
munity for these citizens is sought
by this government.
II also has been learned here that
Carranza was asked through the Bra
zilian minister at Mexico City, repre-
senting the United States, no less than
two weeks ago, for assurances when
his forces took over Vera Cruz, they
would respect the condition laid down
by General Funston.
He was requested also to promise
that, upon the receipt Of the $1,000, 900
customs collections, he would not fur
ther molest Vera Cruz imports.
1t has developed that the Brazilian
minister has informed the State De-
partment of the reply Of the Mexican
government and according to officials
here, 1t dealt in generalities and was
altogether unsatisfactory. A second
request for the desired Information
has been submitted to the Mexico City
authorities. Meanwhile. 1t IL general
ly understood that the troops will re-
main In Vera Cruz.

made public the following dispatch.

Need New Line for Antwerp.
The unexpected fierceness of the
German attack on Antwerp, which, it
is reported. is conducted by five army
corps, is giving rise to the opinion
among the higher military officers
that Germany intends to establish a
second line of defense running from
Antwerp to Brussels. Namur and Metz,

retire from its position along the
River Aisne in France.
Fighting in the vosses.
The Nord Deutsche Allgemeine
Zeitung, leading German paper, de-
scribing the frontier fighting in the
Vosges regions, says: The officers
and men have been fighting day and
night for thirty-seven days and the
Germans are facing difficult stra-
tegic situation in the mountain dis
tricts, where they are rendering su-
perhuman services, chiefly in water
filled trenches and under almost in
describable conditions. The strain
is said to be almost uncomfortable. The
French are fortified in excellent po-
sitions on the Vosges and 1t is impos-
sible to see their guns. No German
troops have been able to retire from
the fighting line for rest. The army
chaplains accompany the troops right
to the front and are holding religious
services and preaching sermons In
the trenches. Bad weather is caus-
ing much sickness"
