LOST IN THE SNOW
Body of Young Woman Found in the
Snow Near Herreid.

Herreid, Feb. 17.-Word has just
reached here of the death during a
heavy storm that overlook this sec
ton last week of Miss Mary Praesek,
living eight miles southwest of Her
reid. She left her brothers house in
the evening, during the storm, to re-
turn to her mothers home, a half
mile distant. Though she travelled
the distance between the two houses
almost daily, she lost her way in the
storm and wandered from the beaten
path into the deep snow, where she
lost her bearings. A heavy fog pre-
vailed, in addition to the storm. The
cries of the girl attracted the atten-
ton of a neighbor, Matt Barth. about
g o'clock in the evening, and he
started out to hunt for her. He heard
her calling from different directions,
but though he searched diligently, he
could not locate her. He called at
her mothers home and inquired IL
Mary was there, but was told she
was at her brothers, and was assur-
ed she could not get lost, as she
knew the way so well. Barth search
ed until 3 o'clock in the morning,
then the cries finally ceased and he
concluded the lost person must have
found shelter. Next morning 1t was
found the girl was missing and the
search was renewed, the body of the
unfortunate young woman being
found about noon, frozen stiff, about
a quarter of a mile from her broth
er's home.

COMPILED BY THE ASSO-
GATED PRESS.

the time approaches for putting into
effect the German declaration of a
war zone in the waters around the
British isles interest in this particu-
lar phase of the campaign is becom-
ing more intense.
Germany reiterates it's determine
ton to carry out its declaration. The
Netherlands has sent a note of pro-
test to the German government.
couched in language similar to that
of the United States, in which it de-
clares it will hold Germany respon-
sible should any Dutch ship be at
tackled and sunk.
At the same time the Netherlands
government in a note to Great Brit
ain contends that the use of a e
trail flag on a large scale and by the
direct sanction of the ~belligerent gov
eminent would be an abuse of such
flag. 1t calls attention to the grave
danger which would be imposed up
on all the shipping of the country by
general instructions TO British mer-
chantmen to make use of the Dutch
flag.
The German ambassador at Wash
ington has delivered a note to the
United States, which has been trans
mitted to Great Britain, in which
Germany offers to recede from her
plan of destroying enemy merchant
ships if restrictions placed by the al
lies on shipments of conditional con-
traband and foodstuffs destined for
the civilian population of Germany
are removed.
Conincidentally the first lord of
the British admiralty, Winston Spen-
Ger Churchill, speaking in the house
of commons, declared that il was
Great Britain's intention to use every
means to prevent Germany from re-
ceiving food supplies from other
countries.
At the same time David Lloyd
George. chancellor OF the exchequer.
announced that the war would cost
the allies $40. 600. 900. 900 during
the current year, but declared that
both Great Britain's and Frances re-
sources were equal to many years
fighting at that rate.
A rumor comes from Berlin by
way of Amsterdam and London that
the German ambassador to the Unit
ed States. count Won Bernstorff, has
been summoned TO the German capt.
tai. This was denied by the embassy
at Washington.
Unoficially il is announced from
Berlin that Field Marshal von Hin
denburg's third battle in east Prus-
STA is likely to prove more disastrous
to the Russians than the others.

nothing of particular moment has oc-

Arrests SHOW DECREASE.

Fred o. Blue, state commissioner of
prohibition. has received reports from
all cities and towns in the state show
ing the effects of the first year of pro-
hibition in West Virginia. Mr.. Blue
says that these statistics show that
prohibition has been more successful
in this state than in any other state in
which the ban on liquor has been tried.
Reports from "a municipalities show
the following results: Total arrests
for the year ending June 80, 1914, 49,
2O7; total arrests for the year ending
June 80, 1915 (the first prohibition
year,, 1871. For the year ending
June 80, 1914, there were 1926 arrest
ed for drunkenness, and for the year
ending June 80, 1915, 2,772 were ar
rested for drunkenness. Thus, Mr..
Blue points out, there has been de-
crease in crime of practically so per
cent. II regard this showing as won
derful for the first year of prohibition"
said Mr.. Blue. There are many other
indications Of the good prohibition has
done for West Virginia, but to put 1t
into absolute concrete form at this
time is impossible. With another year
of prohibition we will show many
other good results. The figures / have
given are absolutely correct and are
the reports of the different mayors
throughout the state"

Very Favorable Reports.

Reports coming into the offices
of the department of agriculture
from various places throughout the
state indicate that the wheat crop
this year will be the greatest in the
history Of West Virginia. Howard E.
Williams, the commissioner of agricul-
ture, said that his department main
tains no statistical system by which
1t can be determined at this time just
how great the crop will be, but already
he realizes that the yield will be ire
mendous. Favorable weather condi-
tions with an abundance of rain has.
made the soil prolific this year, and
the farmers, knowing market condi-
tions to be good and prices higher
than usual, made the most of their OPP
portunities by planting every acre OF
wheat possible and giving it proper
care after it was planted.
The apple crop, Mr.. Williams said,
will be only about fifty or sixty per
cent this year of what it was last.
The decline, he said, is due to the
fact that the vitality of many of the
trees was Slapped by an over-produc-
ton list season. The peach crop this
year measures up with the average
production of previous years, and the
corn and potato crops have been ex-
ceptionally good, according to the COM
missioner of agriculture.

Boston-The assembling of 1900
Italian reservists who were to sail on
the Steamer Canopic, with their
friends, was marked by demonstra-
lions against the interned German
steamships Amerika and Cincinnati,
as result of which several police
men were severely injured.
Sailors on the German vessels were
struck by stones and sticks. Re-
volver shots were exchanged between
the crowd and the police, but it
could not be learned that any took
effect
In an earlier disturbance, which
developed about the formation of a
Square, three officers were injured,
one being stabbed. Ten arrests were
made in both outbreaks.
German Stewards JostIed.
The body of reservists, said to be
the largest to leave this country on
one ship since the war began, was
made up of Italians from this city
and New England. They paraded to
the Commonwealth pier in the South
Boston district, on one side of which
lay the Canopic, which was to give
them passage to Italy, while on the
other side were moored the steamers
Amerika and Cincinnati of the Ham
burg-American Line. which have been
at this port since the war began.
When two stewards from the Gin
cinnati, in their uniforms, were es-
pied on the pier, the crowd jostled
them. Both resisted and were joined
by a Waterman on the dock. The
three men were beaten badly before
they were rescued by police.
Customs Station Stoned.
The mob then rushed to the main
pier building The United States Gus
toms station was stoned, but eight
officers forced the crowd back at the
point of revolvers. Shots were fired
in the air and were answered from
the crowd, but later no bullet wounds
could be found.

BALKANS HANG IN BALANCE
BULGARIANS MUST DECIDE
ALLIES DRIVE TURKS BACK
AngloFrench Troops Treble Area on GaIlipo--French
Warshp Silences Five Guns
BERLIN REPORTS AIRSHIPS REACHED THAMES RIVER

London.-The Germans are de-
manding that direct communication
between Hungary and Constantinople
be cut by the Austro-German forces
and there are reports in Berlin that
a large army is to be sent against
Serbia. This is said by some dlplo
matists to be the only way to compel
Bulgaria. which holds the key to the
Balkan situation. to make a declara-
ton of it's attitude.
Such an attack. would of necessity.
be made on the Danube, and Rumania
immediately would be confronted
with the menace of being cut off from
the rest of Europe and would be
forced into a fight for self-protec-
ton. With Rumania in Bulgaria
would be obliged to decide without
telay one way or the other.
AS events are shaping themselves
TO force the hands of Bulgaria the
diplomatists of all the belligerents are
bringing all possible pressure to bear
on Sofia.
The Montenegrins again have as
sumed the offensive against the Aus
trians and heavy fighting is in prog
ress in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
The Baltic flank of the German
armies under Field Marshal Won Hin
denburg has reached the banks of the
River Dvina, between Riga and
Dvinsk. and is now within 800 miles
of Petrograd.
The second line of defense which
the Russians prepared appears to
have become untenable and already
the Germans have begun to talk of
making the Russian capital their goal.
The opening of the Dardanelles is
said by the military experts to be the
only move promising quick relief of
the pressure the Austro-Germans are
putting on the Russians, and as the
allies rush troops TO the straits the
Germans are expected TO meet it by
sending armies to the aid of the
Turks.
In line with the renewed activity
in the Dardanelles the Russians are
pressing the Turks hard in the eau
casus. The Moslems have been de
feated in the direction of the
Euphrates and are in full fight and
closely pursued by the Russians. They
are abandoning their wounded and
their ammunition and artillery.

Apportionment of Four Millions.

Four million dollars, this years
federal appropriation to aid the or
ganized militia, was apportioned by
Secretary Lansing. Instead of MAX
ing the distribution for supplies and
ammunition according to paper
strength of the various state organi-
cations. as was done last year, Mr..
Garrison took into consideration ac-
tual strength at the annual inspection
and the number of auxiliary branches.
The result of the new plan is that
New York receives for supplies and
ammunition $4,000 more than last
year; Ohio gets $4,000 more; West
Virginia is given $4,000 less, while
Kentucky loses $4,000.
