Loudoun is chiefly an agricultural

base of Catoctin mountain was worked
for many years. and the height oppo-
site Point of Rocks, on the Maryland

cause of the iron works which We're
long operated there. Iron ore is found
along Goose creek and Broad run, and
copper is found in many parts of the

CHICAGO, Sept. German propa-
eandists in the Friends of Peace So
cietv have met strong resistance.
The attempt to commit the conven-
tion 10 an embargo on munitions pre-
cipitated among the executives a
clash which may be taken to the floor
of the convention.
John Brisben Walker, national
president; Mrs. William r. Shepherd
wife of Professor Shepherd of Co
umbia University head of the wo-
mems department; Alexander T..
Moore. the Pittsburgh publisher. ma
tional secretary of the organization,
and Anna NJ. Schaedler general
chairman of the women-s section Of
the convention, all said they would
opnose with all their might the en-
barge movement.
81 certainly will have nothing to do
with the movement il IL is to be turn
I ed into a purely pro-German propa-
ganda against the expectation of mu-
lnitions. although personally l am op-
posed, in the bigger sense, to our
people manufacturing munitions with
] which to kill human beings in the
/ present war" said Mr.. Moore.
"This movement is bigger than any
{ one nation or the cause of any ma
/ tion now at war-it is a world move
ment for peace-a movement against
the frightfulness and destruction OF
all war
1T is true that a great many Ger
man sympathizers and embargo prop
agandists are members of the peace
movement and as individuals they
are entitled to their views and have
a perfect right to express them. But
they have no right to turn the world
peace movement into partisan
movement in behalf of Germany"
Mrs. Shepherd said:
Il am not a propagandist My hus.

always endeayored to present al
sides Of a question fairly and leave
his hearers to form their own con-
clusions."
