FIFTY MILLIONS PROFIT
FOR Du POINT POWDER co.

Wilmington, Del, June 2S.-The
common stock of the Du Pont Pow
der Company. which has had SEN
sational rise within the past five
months. touched 500 Saturday.
The par is 500. The advance means
a profit of about $50. 100000 to the
syndicate of Du Pont Company Off
cials, headed by the President,
Pierre S. Du Pont. who bought the
holdings of General T. Coleman Du
Pont. former President. last Febru-
airy.
The price paid for the Generals
stock was $500 a share. or an APP
proximate total of s20.0O0.OO0.
The stock was not acquired for
speculative purposes. When the
then President of the company an
nounced his intention to retire from
active participation in the manage
ment of the powder concern. other
leading officials bought the shares in
order to control them. They organ
lied a holding company.
Soon afterward. when big war or
ders were received from Europe,
the stock went upward by leaps and
bounds. General Du Popt is salts
fed. however. for during the month
OF January he was in the hospital,
and preceding the sale his holdings
increased $4,000
II was following this sale that the
General bought the majority stocks
of the Equitable Life Assurance So
ciety from the Morgan estate.

DALLAS Is OUT AFTER 1916
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

Washington, June 26.-Dallas
wants the next National Democratic
Convention and to-day launched her
campaign. State Senator ]. c. Nc
Nealus, of Dallas, came to Washing

If Dallas gets the big gathering it

EXISTING CONDITIONS
AND REASONS THEREFOR
Hartford KY. June 2s. 1915.

Hartford NY, June rs, 1918.
Editors Herald:-With your per-
mission | will be glad to furnish the
people of Ohio county some state
ments of facts, which in my opinion
have great part in causing the
reign of lawlessness in our county.
One class of our citizens violate
the law when 1t is thought to be to
their advantage to do so, either for
gain or to crafty their passions
Another class fail to enforce the law
for fear of bringing reproach upon
themselves from the lawbreaker, and
thereby become a party to the Of
Tense, and some will act and swear
falsely that they may crafty their
lusts in some form.
These classes make it difficult for
that class who are anxious to up
hold the law for the good of all
classes and the coming generations.
Our officials are divided into about
the same classes and for the same
reasons, so that the good citizen or
official is often tempted to take mat
tiers in his own hand for adjustment.
So TO provoke thought and action,
I will state my reason for writing,
THAT it is better to make a mis-
take, trying to tell the truth, than
never tell the truth for fear of max
ing a mistake

Near LaBassee, In North
ern France.
WAS ANNIHILATED
Troops Moved Down BY
German Machine Guns
"A Brave Charge.
800 OUT OF 600 OR 200 FELL

Toronto, Ont, June 26.-The first
Western Ontario battalion was all
but annihilated in the action near
LaBassee, in Northern France, June
Is, says a semi-ofiicial account re-
ceived here to-day. Out of between
600 and 700 men the battalion lost
in killed and wounded nearly 500,
including 90 officers.
Twelve of the officers were killed
in this action, according to the ac-
count, leaving only three officers of
the battalion unwounded.
The First Western Ontario Bat
TALON, the account says, was select
ed to act in cooperation with the
British troops in attacking a Ger
man position. Three trenches were
their objective. They came from
the rear, having had a rest prepara-
tory to the onslaught, which took
place in the evening. The Germans
apparently had an idea that a serious
attack was to be attempted, and, as
events proved, had made elaborate
preparations for resistance.
The first enemy trench was only
40 yards away from that occupied
by the First Ontario Battalion. A
mine had been laid and its explosion
was the signal for a forward move
ment on the part Of the Canadians.
The mine itself killed many Ger
mans.
A member of the battalion who
took part in the subsequent charge
declared that the battalion rushed
forward under a terrific fire from
machine guns and bursting high ex-
plosives.
81 shall never forget" he said,
looking around and seeing Colonel
Breher, of London. Ontario, appar-
emily standing on the parapet of
trench, leading his men by voice and
gesture. The next instant the Colo
mel fell, struck by bomb, and was
CdllSu W INC rear, puI uiu hOb ii'S
long.
Conditions grew more terrible as
the fight progressed. The Germans
brought up re-enforcements from
troops that We're fighting the Brit
ish, with whom we were linked.
THE second trench was about so
,.arde havond tho fret which Nya
captured, or about 100 yards from
our starting point. The cost to our
selves in taking the first trench was
very great. We took the second
trench, and it proved a hot position.
1--WE then went for the third
trench but the Germans, with re-
endorsements, concentrated tre-
mendous volume of fire upon us.
should think by this time consider
ably more than half our officers and
men had been killed or wounded.
Gradually the position became
untenable. and it was necessary to
relinquish the ground already won.
We could not, with our depleted
force. remain there, so We moved
back. The Germans then tried hard
to shift us from our original posi-
ton, but to no purpose.
'The battalion went into that ac-
ton from 600 to 700 strong. The
killed and wounded numbered near
ly 500. including 20 out of 23 Off
GERS, ~ of whom were killed"

In European Countries,
Wilson Is Told.
COLONEL HOUSE BRINGS NEWS
From Abroad Indicating That
War Will Be Long
Drawn Out.
PRESIDENTS CLOSE ADVISER

New York, June 26.-President
Wilson does not see any prospect
fort an early peace In Europe.
Colonel E. NJ. House, his close
friend and unofficial envoy to Eu-
rope, gave the President the results
of his sojourn of several months in
the principal capitals of Europe,
where he talked intimately with the
responsible officials of the German,
British and French Governments.
The information he impaired in
the long walks and talks which they
enjoyed reflected definitely the ideas
held by both diplomatists and the
military element in each of the
countries at war. He also disclosed
the various beliefs and currents of
public opinion in each country as to
what might be the possible terms of
peace, and the trend of public opin-
ion toward the different peace pro-
posals that have been brought for
ward from time to time in informal
discussions by the press and peace
organizations.
The President has been guided
largely by what Colonel House has
reported to him by cable and letters
in handling the delicate question of
renewing the efforts of the United
States to bring about a general ac-
ceptance of mediation. Mr.. Wilson
himself said to the Washington cor
respondents that no new tenders of
good offices had been made to any
of the warning Powers, but that all
foreign Governments we'll under
stood the willingness of the United
States to be of any service in any
way possible to pave the way for an
APPROACH to peace.
One fundamental thing the Pres
ident has learned, which has affect
ed the efforts of the United States
to make peace, is the unprepared-
ness, of public opinion in some of
the belligerent countries as to terms
which they fear the adversaries
might advance, or that are already
discussed.
Colonel House observed during
his trip to Europe that public opin-
ion in some countries was most in
sistent on terms which the Govern
ments of those countries already had
learned in various ways would not
be acceptable to their opponents.
In all countries he found that
there had developed among the
masses desire for a settlement that
would be commensurate with the
sacrifice in blood and treasure that
had been made by the people. If
left to the diplomatists in Europe
alone. a return to the territorial sta
tus quo would, perhaps. not be diff
ficun, some of the information in
dicated.
In Germany, 1t seemed. according
to reliable information given the
President. that the object of the
large and influential party was to
prepare public opinion for realiza-
tion of the idea that Germany's best
interests lie in colonial expansion
and the incidental development of
overseas commerce, rather than in
territorial extension in Europe prop
er. The question, however. which
Colonel House thinks likely will
play a most important part in any
peace negotiations is freedom of
the seas" the principle that the
property of all private citizens, ex-
cept contraband. shall be exempt
from capture or seizure on the high
seas In time of war.

NAT E. HARRIS SUCCEEDS HIM

Atlanta, Ca, June 26.--Artillery,
cavalry and infantry of the State
militia stood guard tonight at the
home of John NJ. Slaton, who retir-
ed as Governor of the State to-day,
surrendering the Office to Nat e.
Harris. During the day twenty-six
men were arrested by the militia
near the Slaton home, and eyre still
held in the county jail tonight.
Firearms ar6~ explosives, II is aiieg-
ed, we're taken from them. To-
night, however, there was no indica-
ton of renewed demonstrations
against the former Governor because
of his action in committing the SEN
tence of Leo M. Frank.
The guard about the Slaton home
will be maintained, it was stated to-
night, until the Adjutant General is
satisfied that all danger is passed.
The former Governor spent the
night at home with his family. He
plans to leave with Mrs. Slaton next
week for a vacation trip to Califor-
mia. They We're to have left tonight
but Mr.. Slaton said he hado deter
mined not to leave under fire.
In the city streets double patrols
of police were on duty, but there
was no sign of disturbances. Few
Inauguration visitors remained in
the city I. tonight. and the crowds
were orderly
At luncheon given to-day in
honor of the new Governor. the re-
firing Governor referred to the
Fank case as follows:
Honest people may disagree with
me, an honest man." he said, "but
we realize that We must be measur-
ed by our consciences. Two thous-
and years ago another Governor
washed his hands of case and
turned over Jew to a mob. For
1000 years that Governors name
has been accursed. If to-day an
other Jew were lying in his grave
because | had failed to do my duty.
l would all through life find his
blood on my hands and would con-
slider myself an assassin through
cowardice."
No reference to the Frank case
was made by Gov Harris in his
speech. He expressed the hope.

During the inaugural ceremonies
at the capitol there We're several
tense moments. When Gov. Slaton
approached the new Governor to de-
liver Ctate seals. few Kisses were
heard. President Persons, of the
State Senate. warned the spectators
that unless they were in order the
galleries would be cleared. Instant
ly there was a tumult of applause.
Presenting the seal, Gov Slatop
said:
"Gov. Harris. know that during
my term of office this great seal of
State has not been dishonored.'
His words were greeted with an
other prolonged outburst of ap-
plause.
Leaving the capitol the crowd
surged in on the former Governor
and had to be held back by the mi
litia. Kisses and shouts greeted his
ears. Gov. Slaton hurried to his au-
tomobile. Under the impression
that he was on his way to the termi-
nal station the crowd hurried there.

throng. Meanwhile the motorcar
had arrived at the hotel where the
