SHOWN TO Be
RIDICULOUS
AS Well as False by One Who
Presents a Few Cold
Facts.
(By Obseryer.)

A correspondent of the Plt.sburg
Dispatch wrote quite pieco about
the injury prohibition was doing the
business Of West Virginia. This psece
was copied by the Telegram. II Is
true that Tho Yost law is hurting some
lines of business. The whiskey busi-
acts. tie coffin business and tho
| gravestone business have received
quite setback.
No other business has been hurt.
The mercantile business Of every
description, the merchants say, is
better than ever before. Although
no more money Is deposited in the
banks, the money is deposited by a
much larger number Of people and
men have bank accounts that never
had accounts in banks before. The
merchants say collections are much
/, better. Wheeling has fine stores
and has no competition within a ra-
dtus OF fifty miles. Parkersburg
With its population Of twenty. thous-
and, has better stores than Marietta
with its population Of sixteen thousz
and.
In all the arrests and seizures Of
whisky and beer tt>:e has never
been found in the suit cases a yard Of
I dry goods or a pair Of socks bought
outside the state of West Virginia.
Drunkenness has decreased twenty
five per cent or more.

are sneaking wh.skey into tae state,
did we ever have a law on our books

For feeding pigeons good mixture
may be made with equal parts by the.
weight Of cracked corn, hard red
wheat. katir corn and Canada peas.
To this ten per cent OF hemp and mil
let seed should be added during the
the noting period. Other grains
which may be substituted for or added
TO these are peanuts, oats or hu1led
oats, buckwheat. Egyptian corn, bar
ley, cowpeas and milo maize. "A small
quantity Of stale bread, rice. rape, mill

may be fed for variety. Green feed,
such as cut clover. alfalfa, grass, let
tuce and plantain leaves may be fed
to advantage. but it not absolutely
essential. The essential Is variety
OF good hard grains, and no grain
which is in poor condition should be
fed. Old grains which are hard are
betten than new soft grains. Good
wheat screenings are also fed with
success and. the very stimulating
seeds. such as lentils and vetch, are
sometimes used as tonic during the
noting season. The grain may be fed
on the floor of the pen IL it is clean, in
troughs, or best kept before the birds
in hoppers which keep the birds from
scattering the feed. Where hoppers
are not used, the pigeons should be
fed twice daily, in the morning and
in the afternoon, giving from one and
one-half to two quarts of grain at
each meal for twenty birds. An extra
pint may be added IL there are many
squads. AS a general rule. the guam
tty must be regulated according to

The only sure way to get rid OF

stroy it entirely. To do this, get about
four ounces OF ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring;. use
enough to moistcn the scalp and rub it
in gently with the finger tips.
DO this tonight. and by morning
most, if not all. OF your dandruff will
be gone. and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve ami

You will find. too. that all itching

The Weakness of the Turk as an Ally
(From the New York Sum-

An egregious miscalculation was
made by Germany when she forced
the reluctant Turks to defy not only
their ancient enemy Russia but old
friends and allies i'm the Crimea, Eng
land and France. Sir Louis Mallet,
Who was British ambassador at Con
siantinople when the unproyoked at
tack was made on Odessa on October
28. has told i'm a White Paper the
story OF German intrigue and Turkish
weakness. No man was in better
position to learn the truth.
Turkey, encouraged by her German
advisers had used her army to re-
cover Adrianople, and. still being un-
der the influence Of Enver Bey. was
in a mood to yield to the assurance
that she would become a great power
in the Near East If she took the field
in support of Austria and Germany.
Enyer Bey was Minister Of
war. "He was dominated" said
Sir Louis. "by quasi-Napoleonic
ideal, by political pan-Islamism. and
by conviction OF the superiority of
German arms Tho Sultan, his heir,
and the Grand Vizicr we're originally
opposed to Turkeys participation i'm
the war. but Enver Bey and Talaat
pasha. the Minister OF the Interior
who dominated the government, in
sisted that Turkeys opportunity had
come, and the plunge was taken Sir
Louis Mallet declared grotesquely un-
true the charge that the first act OF
hostility was committed by Russia in
tho Black Sea- on the contrary. tho
order to begin the attack upon Odessa
was given, he says, by German Ad-
mlral with the Turkish feet.
The compulsiOn eXerted by Ger.
many seemed to bc a counsel of des.
peration. but 1t had its roots deer
down in the old Weltpolitik which
has accounted for so many of Ger
many's diplomatic blunders. DR.. p
Rohrbach. one of the most esteemed
advocates Of an aggressive foreign
policy for the glory and profit of tn,
Fatherland, wrote i'm 1915 "Englant

Canal and of her connections with
India and the Far East, but would
probably entail the loss of her pos
sessions in Central and East Africa
II was also his opinion that the con-
quest Of Egypt "by Mohammedan
Power, like Turkey, would also inn
peril England's hold over her 10000
600 Mohammedan subjects In India"
II was believed at Berlin that the
Turkish army with German comman-
ders would make short work Of
Egypt; and Turkey no sooner was en-
tered into the war than an expedi-
ton was launched against the Suez
Canal.
How seriously Germany regarded
the value of her new ally the des
| patch of Marshal Won der Gotz to
Constantinople proves. But there
were three serious ovcrsights or mis-
conceptions. The Dardanelles. even
! with the services Of German engi-
neers to mine aud defend them, were
not impregnahle and the naval re-
sources of England and France in
the Mediterranean turned out to be
formidable. II could hardly have
been understood at Berlin that sea
power would play such a prominent
part in the Near East in the event of
Turkeys entrance iuto the war. Again
! Russia's readiness for a campaign in
the Asiatic Turkey proved to be a
surprise. She bad more troops avail
able and a longer purse, also better
organization than was supposed
So in four months campaigning
nothing OF any Importance has been
accomplished by the new ally.
Worsted in the Caucasus, bafned in
Egypt and unable to hold tho en-
trance to the Dardanelles, the Turks
have proved the weakest of reeds To
lean on. With the fall of Constantine
ople expected, if not imminent every
neutral nation that would profit by
the driving of the Turk from Europe
Greece. Roumania, Bulgaria and Italy
also, is strainine at the leash TO take
part in the war on the side of GreaI
Britain and her allies, Russia and
France. IL is now seen that the fall
Of Constantinople would be turning
point in the war apd i'm all probability
the beginning of the end.

Latin American Trade Expansion
CFrom the New York SUM-

President signed the seamen's bill in
order to furnish supplementary ar
gument for advocating the admins
tration's shipping bill at the next ses-
sion of Congress, well and good The
seamen's bill tends to make IL more
certain that only the government can
own and operate an American mer-
chant feet in the ocean carrying trade,
because the government. with its re-
course TO the taxing power, can stand
statutory costs which would be ruin
Gus to private enterprise in any ef-
fort to engage in competition with
foreign lines.
That, however. is no reason why
Mr.. McAdoo should seek to turn the
Latin American trade conference into
propaganda for the administrations
government ownership schemes. Our
commerce is not going TO be develop
ed by making its expansion a mat
ter Of partisan politics or administra-
tion policies.
There is an attractive opportunity
for expanding trade with Latin Amer
ca, but its realization is not ham,
pered by the lack of shipping facili-
] ties. as Mr.. McAdoo asserts. What the
growth of this trade depends upon
I is not the provision of ships, but the
provision Of capital to Latin Amer =
can countries and the extension OF
credit to enablei them to patronize
our markets and supply their prod
ucts for our consumption.
The promotion of our commerce
with these countries can be helped
only by an out and out recognit ON
OF the one great business necessity
which everybody who has studied IN,
subject from a business standpoint
has perceived. namely. that American
finance must enable the Latin Ameri-
can nations TO trade with us. Until
this Is done there will be no shipping
problem TO consider Our Latin
American trade has been languishing
not because there has been a deartl
OF ships, but because Central ant
South American have been cut Of

AMERICAN REGISTRY AND NAVIGATION LAW
RuRDENS.

v~RESIDENT WILSON'S Democratic Congress has
something else to for TO the American
people besides tho Underwood tariff, the burdensome
Income and the inexcusable tax OF S1000OO0OO
levied at time when nation s at peace with all
the world We refer to the features Of tho navi-
CATION laws passed by that Congress It nearing
its nglorious end They bid fair TO nullify whatever
good features the ship registry transfer law possesses
and to force many merchant ships which now fly the
American flag to seek the protection OF the flags OF
,ther neutral nations
Rather than submit TO the burdens OF the pro-
visions OF the navigation laws, the Dollar steamship
lne which figures Importantly in the Pacific trade has
announced that It will give up its American registry
and sail its ships under the Chinese flag. In this con-
necton its should be said that tho Dollar line was
OF the first avail itself OF the ship registry trans
fer law and to place its craft under the American
nag Heretofore the ships had flown the British flag
The of the line did that Notwithstanding the
expense OF operating a ship under the American flag
was $500 a month than Il had been under the
British flag because OF higher and inspection
charges The ship willing to that for
the protection their ships against German and Aus
trian cruisers Whether It their purpose TO re-
turn to the British flag after the not re-
vealed
Having gained something, temporarily, for the
American merchant marine through the ship registry
transfer bill the Wilson administration proceeded to
upset It all by passing amendments to the navigation
laws which imposed unbearabe expense burdens upon
ships under the American flag. The attitude Of the
Dollar line indicates what the effect is going to be-
IL we are to have adequate merchant marine, we
must take steps, by subsidies or otherwise. to place
it upon footing which will enable II TO compete with
the merchant fleets Of the other great maritime
powers
~-It Is folly to draw ships under the American hal

atcly thereafter to navigation law provisions
which are so burdcnsome that such ships forced "a
