SUCCESS BY ARMS
 SLOGAN OF FRENCH
Premier Briand Declares at Recep- ton He Gave for American
 Correspondents.

correspondents.
 Paris, Nov. 1O.-Aristide Briand, chief of the new war ministry of France, received the American news paper correspondents in a body today, inviting them to ask questions or make requests relative to their work. The reception was held by the pre- mier more for personal reasons than with the intention of granting an in terview.
 "I have made a declaration for my colleagues and myself to parliament" said MT. Briand, and it would be banal to repeat it to you.'
 Then came a bombardment of ques- tions on a wide range of subjects re- lating to the war, to which the head of the government made unhesitating replies. Asked regarding peace sug- gestions, he said: What are these peace suggestions? They are heard first in one country and then in an other, impersonal and imponderable. They irritate at the. present stage of the war; I do not wish to consider them even to the extent of a public denial and rejection. We can think of nothing but to drive forward to com plete success by arms. Even to men tion peace by compromise or conces- son,' the premier added with much feeling, lis to be untrue to those who are giving their lives at the front
 At another time, when America was mentioned, M. Briand said: 'The war has brought Americans much closer to us even than they were before. Frenchmen appreciate deeply the sym pathy and good will of your country men. That, perhaps, is because every feeling is more intense now than in time of peace.'
 The premier considered successive ly the censorship. which he said he would reduce to minimum arrange ments for distributing more prompt

Notes of the Churches.

Recent investigations relative 10 the
booklets purporting TO give "inSde" in
formation OF the "church feud" at Mid
dletown, Md, have started rumors of
official action by the postoffice officials.
These booklets bear the name Of J. VIM
field Gentzler, former pastor OF the
Middletown Lutheran Church. 1t is al
legged that the matter contained in the
booklets is IibelouS and that those accused
have sufficient grounds for legal action.
Early last week man, thought TO be a
detective, was in MiddletoWn conducting
an extensive investigation concerning the
trouble. Whether he is representing the
poStoffice officials or some individual per-
sons is question.
The steam heating plant just installed
in the Lutheran Church in ShepherdStown
seems 10 be satisfactory so far as it has
been tested. The church was very COM
Portable last Sunday, fairly cold day, the
temperature being equally pleasant all
over the building. The work was done
by w. J. Rider for J. N. linn & Co., OF
Charles Town. This is the first church
here TO have steam heat installed, all Of
the others being heated by hot-air fur
naceS or stoves.
The Methodist Church was filled to IFS
capacity last Sunday night, when the final
service OF the week OF prayer was held,
and number of persons were turned
away because there were no seats for
them. An able sermon was preached by
Rev. |. d. Woman, OF the Lutheran
Church. Rev. William Rogers has been
preaching every night this week, and
good audiences have been present.

Car Smashed, Chauffeur jailed.

Byington Hooe, of Charles Town, who
was employed as chauffeur by Rowland
c. Ringgold, of Shepherdstown, got into
a peck of trouble in Maryland the first of
the week. Hooe was taking Mr.. Ring
COLDS handsome new Hudson touring
car to Washington, and evidently mixed
TOO much booze with the benzine, for he
wrecked the automobile and got himself
in Jail. Hooe left here with the car on
Monday. Tuesday morning the sheriff
of Montgomery county, Md, got into
telephone communication with Mr.. Ring
COLDS home here, and gave the intor-
nation that Hooe was in jail and that the
car was badly damaged. Mr.. Ringgold
was in Washington at the time, and he
was informed of the trouble and went TO
Rockville TO investigate. Before Hooe
left Shepherdstown he was doing some
wild driving with the car, and he must
have been speeding with continued reck-
lessness as he continued his journey.
Near Rockville Monday afternoon he ran
the car at high speed into the tracks OF the
Washington and Rockville electric rail-
way, completely wrecking the machine.
Two wheels were smashed, il was re-
ported here, and the car was otherwise
seriously damaged. Hooe was arrested
by Deputy Sheriff Preston Hewitt on the
charge OF operating an automobile while
under the influence of liquor, and was
committed to jail in Rockville to await a
trial before Judge Mace. John H. Burke,
of Harper's Ferry, who was with Hooe,
was also held.
The automobile that was wrecked was
fine new Hudson touring car, and it is
exasperating that il has been so badly
treated.

A Bad Man Was In Town.

The Register last week told OF the fear
full tragedy in Page county, Va, when Bill
Nichols killed Mrs. Charles E. Burner and
her three little boys, brutally splitting their
heads open with an axe. 1t is said that
Nichols, the murderer, was in Shepherds
town a few days before the crime was
committed. A number OF persons here
saw hin-he was young man with a
wooden leg and was so forbidding in ap-
pearance and so tough looking that one
Involuntary noted him. The people OF
the community were so outraged at his
crime there that they wanted TO burn his
body in the house where he had commit
ted suicide. He was denied resting
place in any cemetery, and his body was
finally buried in unhallowed ground in an
open field without religious service OF
any sort.

High Waters Take Away The Ice.

The heavy rain last week caused big
rise in the Potomac river on Friday. All
day long the flooded stream carried off the
ice that had covered the river for several
weeks. and the sight was wonderful one.
We have never seen such great masses
Of ice on the river at one time. 1t COW
cred the stream from shore to shore, and
at times scarcely any water could be seen,
the river presenting vast expanse OF
grinding, twisting, surging foes OF ice
that moved with majestic swiftneSs as the
strong current carried it onward. Great
piles OF ice were left along the shores
when the waters receded.

why Not Come To The Country?

One of the Registers friends from Bal
tinore writes us as follows: Doubtless
YOU have heard the big cry going up OF
men out of work in Baltimore. 1t GER
tainly seems pity that some of these
men, if they are really industrious, could
not be induced TO 60 into thecountry and
help the farmers. ! believe the farmers
even now would be glad to begin pay
ment on the help they need during the
spring, summer and fall" We have no
doubt that hundreds of laboring men
could lind comfortable homes in the coun-
try at fair wages if they were willing to
come. Somehow, though, they seem to
prefer restitution and starvation in the
city to comfort and plenty in the country.

Encourage The Waterworks.

Representatives OF the proposed water
company will in short time wait upon
the people Of Shepherdstown with con-
tracts for using the water that is to be
furnished here. We hope that every
householder in the community may be
liberal in taking water and thus encourage
the enterprise. Waterworks will be OF
tremendous benefit TO this community,
and we believe that system is assured
if our people will do what they ought to
do in the way Of giving it financial sup
port. We understand that the rates are
TO be moderate, comparing tavorably with
those of other towns.
