The West Virginian. [volume] (Fairmont, W. Va.) 1914-1974, 1915-01-06

LONDON, Jan. s.-The crushing
blow which the Russians appear to
have dealt the Turks in the Caucasus
and the further advance Of the French
in Alsace. on the road to Muelhausen.
continued to hold The foreground In
war news today in the absence Of any
other Important developments In the
east or, west.
It is felt in England that the re-
ported rout OF the Turkish invaders
Of the Caucasus, with the defeat OF
their plan to seize the Russian fort
resses. at Kars, gives the Ottoman
forces such a set back that the much
discussed invasion OF Egypt Is now
out Of the question. At the same
time the pressure OF Russians from
the east has been so far relieved as
to preclude any necessity Of with
drawing Russian forces from POLAND
and Gallcian fronts for service in the
Caucasus.
Petrograd reports. that the Turkish
army was defeated at Ardahan 40
miles northwest OF Kars, which Is
distinct from the forces reported to
have been crushed or captured at
sari Kamysh, was today completely
surrounded and being harrassed by
Russian cavalry was doomed to In.
evitable extermination. It was added
that the Turks were fighting With
great bravery and determination bus
against hopeless odds as the roads
along which they sought to retreat
were blocked by deep SHOWS.
This is the defeat OF the Turkish
army corps which Grand Duke -Nicho'
las referred to yesterday in a mes
sage TO Gen. Jotfree. commander.in.
chief Of French forces. This dispatch
announced also the cap pitulation Of the
entire Turkish ninth army corps at
sari Kamysh, and the fact that COM
munIcation had been exchanged be
tween the allied leaders In the east
and in the west Is taken In London
to indicate that the Russians claim
is neither exaggerated nor premature.
While there has been virtually no
change to the west o. Warsaw. II Is
the opinion Of British observers OF
events, that the Russian general stan
is giving many Indications OF an in.

Hungary. with Bukowina occupied,
the time Is ripe for an invasion OF.

have to say. Mr.. Kruttschnitt, exec
utive head OF the Southern Pacihc'
has written an article dealing with
the financing Of railroads. He SAID
in part:
THE financing Of railroad Is a
function which the people, through
their servants, the Railroad Colnmis-
sioners and the Legislators. have
never attempted, but it is a most i'm
portant problem, especially to sec
lions of State where new railroads
are needed. The placing of securities
has been left entirely with the pro
moter and owner OF railroads.
1.-THE immediate determination OF
what earnings the railroad shall be
permitted to receive and what bur
dsns 1t shall have put on it Is in the
hands OF other servants Of the public

IMMENSE COST OF THE
EUROPEAN WAR

David Starr Jordan, president of
the University of California, writes
as follows in the San Francisco
Chronicle: Edgar Crammond of
London, high authority, estimates
the cash cost of a year of the Euro
pean war to August 1, 1915, at ST.
900, 100000, while other losses will
amount up to make grand total of
SAG, 100000. No one can have
any conception of what $46,OOO,OOO,-
900 may be. 1t is four times all the
coin in the world. If this sum were
measured out in $40 gold pieces and
railway track, on each rail, they
would line with gold every line from
New York to the Pacific Ocean. the
two Canadian lines included There
would be enough left to cover each
rail of the Siberian Railway from
Vladivostock to Petrograd. There
would still remain sufficient to re-
habitat Belgium and to buy the
whole of Turkey, at her own valu-
alton, wiping her finally from the
map.
cor, we may figure in some other
fashion. The average workingman
in America earns s51S per year. 1t
would take ninety million years
work to pay the cost of the war; or
ninety million American laborers
might pay it off in one year, If all
their living expenses were paid.
THE cost of year of the great
war is little more than the estimated
value of all the property of the
United States west of the Missouri
River. 1t is nearly equal to the total
value of all the property in Germany
(s4S.000, 10000, as estimated in
1906. The whole Russian Empire
($35, 900, 00O.OO0) could have been
bought for a less sum before the war
began. 1t could be had, on cash
sale, more cheaply now. The sum
would have paid for all the property
in Italy $13,0OO,0OO,0OO) Japan
$4,000, 10000, Holland ($5,-
900, O00,000), Belgium (s7,000,000,-
000), Spain (s6,0O0,0OO.0 10000, and
Portugal $4,000, O.OO0). 1t is
three times the entire yearly earn
ings in wages and salaries of the peo-
pie of the United States (s15, 500,-
O00).
THE cost of this war would pay
the national debts of all the nations
in the world at the time the war
broke out. II all the farms, farming
lands and factories in the United
States were wiped out of existence,
the cost OF this war would more than
replace them II all the personal
and real property of half our nation
were destroyed. or If an earthquake
of incredible dimensions should
shake down every house from the
Atlantic to TIE Pacific, the waste
would be less than that involved in
this war. And an elemental catas-
trophe leaves behind It no costly leg
acy of hate"

PORFERIO DIAZ DIES
DELIVERER OF MEXICO

Mexico, died in Paris. July 2. The
aged ruler had not been in the best
of health for the past few weeks.
but his condition was not consid-
cred serious.
Porfirio Diaz was born in Oaxaca.
Mexico, in 1890, on September 10,
making him about IS years Of age.
He entered the army at an early
age, with an ambition to become a
colonel. He fought under General
Juarez, known as the "Deliverer of
Mexico"
IN 1854 he joined Alverez and the
revolutionists against the dictator.
Santa Anna, and. with Juarez AZ
leader, ultimately brought about
Santa Annals downfall.
Upon the French invasion in 1862
he took a prominent part, and after
the death of Macmillan and Diaz's
occupation of Mexico City, he became
famous as a general, who preserved
discipline in his armies.

Juarez died and Lerdo became

to be almost unanimously elected
president few weeks later.
He began a campaign to organize
the national finances and revenues
and started retrenchments by cutting
his own salary from 100000 to $751;
900. He reorganiZed the laws of the
country and, against the bitterest op-
position and in the teeth Of ACCUSE
tons against his loyalty to the re-
public, he welcomed the great trunk
lines that have tapped the rich coun-
try of Mexico and opened up the land
to exploitation.
President Diaz always labored to
increase the cordial relations be-
tween his country and the United
States.
Following his reelection to the
presidency early in 1910, Diaz found
himself with the worst revolution of
his career on his hands.
The revolution was led by Fran
cisco l. Madero, who, with his fam
lily, was prepared to stake his entire
fortune. in financing the war.
Madero's troops met with victory
in several battles in Northern Mexico
and finally captured Juarez. Then
Diaz resigned as president, making
De la Barra, a member OF his cab
met, provisional president.

BIG STORE GIVES THE
CHILDREN GALA TIME

The big sale at the Wood-Sullivan
store has been a great success and
everyone has commented on the up
to-date goods carried and at the rea-
sonable prices charged.
The store was swamped with shop
pers and also children Friday and
Saturday when Santa Claus paid the
Wood-Sullivan company a visit, this
firm gave away 30 pounds of candy
to the children aad ladies'. The candy
was put up in 500 half pound boxes.
1t was an inspiring sight to see the
little kiddies telling their wants to
Santa Claus. One little girl, when she
was asked what she desired Santa
Claus to bring her Christmas, was so
frustrated that all she desired him to
bring was nickel, another one notic-
ing the size of the gift giver, stated
that he was too large to come down
the chimney, so said she would leave
the window open Christmas eve.
The store is conducting a genuine
close-out sale and will continue same
until all the stock is disposed of, they
will keep open evenings this week un-

REMAINS OF PIONEER
BORNE TO SILENT CITY
FUNERAL OF EDWARD CLIFFORD,
JR., A SAD AND IMPRESSIVE
CEREMONY

The mortal remains of the late Ed
ward Clifford, Jr., were conveyed to
rest in the family plat of the Tonopah
cemetery yesterday morning by loving
hands and many tears were shed as
the body of the pioneer was lowered
into the grave.
At $50 the cortege left the family
residence and proceeded to st. Pat
rick's church, which was thronged
with friends and acquaintances of the
deceased. Solemn requium mass was
celebrated by Rev. Father Diss. and
mingled with the solemn intonations
by the priest and the low, mournful
notes of the organ, were heard the
sobs Of the bereaved.
Those who bore the pail were
Joseph Stenson, James Grimes,
George Dugan. Steve Clark, Steve
Pablovich, H. A. Fink, Fred Inman
and Chris Barry.
The procession to the silent city of
the dead was one of the largest ever
seen in Tonopah. while the floral en-
blems were SO numerous and so beau
tiful that they fully attested to the
esteem and love In which the deceased
was held in this community.

CHRISTMAS TREE

The community Christmas tree
committee met yesterday at p. m.
in the clubrooms of the Mizpah hotel.
All committees reported the work as

or other unavoidable circumstances
some child or children might not be
able to come to the celebration. They
very much desire that the names OF
such children be reported to Chief
Evans and arrangements will be made
to deliver the bags of candy to them
ON Christmas day by autos which
have been offered for the purpose.
The exercises will begin at 1;3C
