Last Great Opportunity.

I Cor Plaza will be placed on the
market next Wednesday. The an
nouncement Is most important as that
new addition will be the last large
one to Clarkshurg to be offered, all
other large additions having been
marketed and we'll developed.
The growth of Clarksburg has been
due largely to the development OF its
Buburbs. Most residents of the city
recall when the old Shuttleworth
property, where Carlisle Court is now,
and the big Mortimer Smith farm,
now the thriving town of Northy1ew,
were placed on the market. 1t was
thent that the greater expansion OF
eClarkahurg as community began.
then, and all familiar with the to-
pography OF the CIarksburg vicinity
fully realize the importance of Gotf
Plaza. 1t is not only the last oppor-
hunity for expansion but also the
Ereatest and best ever afforded here.
( Telegram readers doubtless recall
Efhis newspapers description of Coll

he may have seemed, it was quite in
adequate and by no means did the
subiect justice. The fact is ito. get q

Those who have view to the fu-
turei will not miss tho opportunity OF

THOSE who have slight insight even
into the future and realize to small
extent at least what the future OF
Clarksburg is to be have only to be-
mold Goff Plaza and take survey OF
the little else left for further expan-
sion fully to appreciate that the last
and final great opportunity is here
That certainly means that sale day al
the plaza will prove the greatest ever
known in real estate circles in West
Virginia.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 11.-Gen-
eral Carranza, through his Washing
ton agents to-day notified Secretary
Lansing that the Mexican people view
with displeasure" any attempt tending
to Illustrate the success of Carranza' S
armed forces. Carranzas message re-
ferred to the Pan-Am erican conference
and was taken as plainly signifying he
would not agree with its action toward
Mexican affairs
Reports have reached mere that
more than one thousand Carranza
troops from the command of General
Navarette in the State of Tamalipas
have moved over into Texas in the
territory surrounding Brownsville and
have scattered into bands to rally
Mexicans in that State the announced

are reported to be under command of

and Carlos Garcia. War Department
officials would not discuss the report
but 1t was said to be m their posses
sion and probably would be one OF
the reasons for moving troops to the
border.
Notifies Others
Carranza also has sent a similar
notification to the diplomatic repre-
sentatives of all the Latin American
republics participating in the Mexican
conference, saying that any attempt
between them and the American Gov
ernment to solve the internal situation
of Mexico, would involve an act which
could not be looked upon with levity
as it would mean on the part of the
Latin-American nations the acceptance
of the precedent that they can take
part in any internal affairs of a sister
nation with the cooperation of the

American Reply May
Settle Frye Dispute

Washington, D. c., Aug. IL Ad-
ministration officials to-day were hope
full that the American reply to the last
German note regarding the sinking of
the American ship William P. Frye
dispatched to Berlin last night would
result in a settlement of the dispute
growing out of the incident. The
communication probably will be given
out for publication Saturday.
The United States, 1t is said, agrees
to accept payment for the Frye, as
proposed by Germany, the amount to
be fixed by a German-American Com
mission, although it reiterates that
destruction of the vessel was in con-
travention of the Prussian-American
treaty of 1923. Acceptance of the
commission method makes an appeal
to arbitration at The Hague unneces-
sary.

ELUSIVE NYMPH ALMOST
BREAKS UP MILITARY CAMP
Frockless Maiden Fits About Woods Giving Fleeing
Glimpses, but Easily Eluding Pursuers

Lacrosse. Wis, Aug. 11.-A portion
of the United States army encamped
at Sparta has been suddenly demoral-
lied without the firing of shot. The
mysterious nude wood nymph, who
startled Farmer Val Busby almost out
of his boots and successfully eluded
Sheriff George Boss, Humane officer
George Manuel and several posses of
Spartans until to-day, is the, demoraliz-
Ing agency. She appeared on the fringe
of woods near the encampment and 1t
was with the utmost difficulty that
maneuvers were continued. After the
excitement subsidized and the soldiers
were in nervous slumber sentry saw
her again right in the midst of the
camp, but at the command to halt she
scampered into the woods.
Officers hunting for the mysterious
woman have found plenty of foot
prints They believed her insane and
they say the soldiers at camp soon
would have been, too, had she not been
captured.

scattered throughout the vicinity, We're

her agrees with farmers and trainmen
that she is strikingly beautiful. Her
sole attire was smile and a dainty

SHOW that she has small. shapely
feet. The conviction grows that she
is a member of some camp of back

ply having an immense amount of fun
at the expense of the countryside. A
proposition, believed to have ema-
mated from a coterie of jealous women,
that bloodhounds be employed to run
down the "nymph" and solve the prob
lem. was rejected.
The officers refuse to give any de-
tails of her capture. nor will the girl
talk. She is now in the care of the
sheriff's family and has been properly
clothed. There are hints that she is a
member of a prominent Lacrosse fam
lily. She is a decided blonde, with an
immense wealth of golden bronze hair.
According to the officers, she is very
pretty and has a figure tnat would get
her into the first row of any chorus in
the country.
