Charleston, w. Va.-It developed
this week that a state official who is
not drawing his salary because of
failure of the state legislature to APP
propriate funds for the running ex-
penses of West Virginia, is Governor
Henry ID. Hatfield. John S. Darst,
state auditor, has asked A. A. Lilly,
attorney general, for an opinion a to
whether he can borrow money until
such time as the legislature can be
called together to make the necessary
appropriations, and the attorney gen.
eral has come back with a request for
a statement of the moneys expended
by Darst and for what purpose in
the last seven years.
Meanwhile the unusual condition is
being felt in all parts of the state
Country schools are being closed,
high schools placed on part time, and
companies of the national guard are
being mustered out. The effort to
have the legislature meet without ex.
pense to the state and pass upon bills
seems to have failed, and there is nc
relief In sight.

WAR CAUSES OF THE FAILURE

ness Estimated $4,000. 900.

New York.-A petition for a re-
ceiver for the International Mer-
camille Marine company has been
filed by the New York Trust COM
pany. 1t is alleged the concern,
known as the shipping trust, de-
faalted on $4,000, 200 interest on
bonds. The company was formed
by the late ]. P. Morgan. It's bust
ness was estimated at $4,000, 900 a
year. The r~eceivership was precipitat-
ed by loses sustained on account of
the a The company, which is prob
ably the largest of its kind in the
world, controls the White Star, Red
Star, American, Atlantic Transport,
Dominion and Leyland lines. 1t was
formed in 1902, as a browning work
of Morgan's genius for organization.
1t vas recently reported that
Morgan attempted also to control the
Cunard line. The British government,
however, baked, fearing loss of pres
tige in its transatlantic shipping
trade. To compete with the Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine company,
English financiers contributed $10,-
100000 towards the construction of
the Lusitania and Mauretania, two
Cunarders, which, when launched.
were the largest liners afloat. The
I~nternational's difficulties began when
the British government ordered the
White Star liner Oceanic and Olym-
pic as auxiliary warships. Trade
dropped off and the company was un-
able to meet interest on an issue Of
$50, 100000 in bonds. The New York
Trust company holds the mortgage,
secured by bonds, containing a pro-
vision that any bondholder may APP
ply for a receiver whenever the in
terest is ~defaulted, so the present
action is virtually one of voluntary
receivership.

WAR PROGRESSES

In the western war zone the oper-
ations are almost at a stand-stiI so
far as any concerted attack is con-
cerned.
Germany is sending troops in Hun
gary and strong support of this kind
is likely to have an encouraging effect
ON the Austrians.
The Austian war office says it has
been ascertained that all the Russian
divisions which were before Przemysl
are now on the Carpathian front.
Bulgarian irregulars, who, however,
are reported to have been wearing
ed the Serbian frontier and killed Ser
bian guards.
Russians, Germans and Austrians
are sending up their forces for the
battle in the Carpathians, which, al
though it has been going on for weeks,
shows no signs as yet of definite con-
clusion.
The Dutch steamer Schieland has
been blown up in the North sea. The
crew was saved.
In the north Petrograd asserts that
along the battle front on the Niemen
the Germans have been driven back.
French airmen have dropped 80
bombs on German barracks and aero
plane hangers and the railway station
at V~igneeulles, in the department of
the Woevre, doing considerable dam
age.
Battles of considerable proportions
and in the Carpathians, but on the
western front little is going on ex.
cept artillery duels and infantry
attacks similar to those which have
been proceeding at various points for
sometime past. Strong Russian forces
are attacking the Austrians in the
Ca%rpathians.
There was little fighting on the
western front.
III uOi tnCIn Il OldIlu, d NdbdlIS Sudl sc
in the Suwalki district resulted in a
defeat of the Germans.
To the eastward in the Carpathians
sanguinary fighting is taking place,
both the Austrians and the Russians
claiming victories at various points.
Semi-official reports reaching Pc
trograd are to the effect that the
Turkish armored cruiser Medpideh
has been sunk by a mine in the Black
sea off the Russian coast.
Two steamers have been blown uI
as a result of the naval warfare. A
German submarine has destroyed a
British steamer in the English chan
mel with a loss of four men of the
crew, and a German steamer has beer
sent to the bottom by striking a mine
in the Baltic.

Contented Cows.

From the Milwaukee Free Press.
A squib just going the rounds repre-
sents customer calling up dairy
company's clerk to inquire whether his
cows were contented. To the amazed
employe she vouchsafed the explana-
ton:
Il see your rivals advertise that their
cows are all contented. I shall take
milk Of them unless you can assure me
that all your cows are happy"
The ingenious clerks rejoinder, that
he was delighted to say they had not
received complaint from a single one
of their cows, proved satisfactory: but
recognition of a fact but lately recog-
ntzed- that no COW can do her best,
either in giving milk or putting on
flesh, unless she is comfortable, well
used. and has a mind at ease.
One of the most successful dairy
farmers in the state, Mrs. HOWE of
Elm Grove, attributes no small share
of her success with cattle to the pleas
ant relations established between her
and her stock. 1t was out of pure
kindness and liking for animals that
she first began making pets of her
cows and calves, but she soon noticed
the value to dairy woman of tran
quill, satisfied cows. The contented
mind, so highly esteemed by Sir Philip
Sidney, is an important adjunct to
dairying, and Mrs. HOWE found it only
a little less important than comfort
able, cleanly quarters and the balanced
ration. Contented cows are no myth,
but illustrate a truth long overlooked,
that all animals respond to intelligent
care. and that the best is none too good
for them.

following Illuminating paragraph:
This company compels every person
having in any way to do with the prep
aration or serving of food to undergo a
physical examination every thirty days.
This significant statement Is made to
illustrate the care taken in safeguard
ing the health of passengers, and is
part only of a far-reaching system hav-
ing that end in view. But the student
of social progress will find in 1T sig
nificant and hopeful indication of pow
erfuI forces that are working to abol-
which today menace the well-being of
mankind Excessive use of intoxicants
is far less prevalent among large
classes of the community today than 1t
men have been convinced that alcohol
is detrimental to health, or because
their consciences have been touched by
the appeals of temperance workers; nor
is 1t even due to the awakened civic
conscience of the multitude. 1t is
mainly because the great corporations
no longer find drinking men desirable
as employees. It is unprof1table to be
known as an habitual or even an &C.
casional user of liquor, and the result
is that in many lines of employment
tipping has been banished.
Can any one doubt that a like de-
termination on the part OF managers
of the hotels and restaurants, as well as
of dining car and railway cafe direct
ors. to exclude from their service every
person capable of transmitting commu-
nicable disease will do more than years
of educational paganda in the in
terests Of prophylactic medicineo This
is an endeavor about which little has
been or can be said in public, but 1T is
destined to have a profoundly bene-
fetal effect. Fighting an evil of this
sort by the ruthless exclusion of the
tainted or unfit is likely to be far more
efficient than an attempt to appeal to
their reason
