THE Germans have captured the great
city and fortress of Warsaw, and are still
at the heels of the Russian armies that are
seeking TO escape into the interior OF the
Cars dominions. II is an open ques-
lion as to whether or not the Russians
will be able TO evade capture or destruc-
lion, as the German forces are like great
pincers that is seeking to close on their
retreating enemies. German prepared
ness and efficiency have again won great
victory, and the Russians are beatenlargely
because they are short OF arms and NUM-
lions OF war. With insufficient weapons
and lack OF powder and shells, there is
absolutely nothing for them TO DO but give
way.
II is still a puzzle TO observers that the
French and English on the western battle
front continue TO be comparatively in
active. With such vast proportion of
the German armies busy with the Rus
slams, one would think that the Allies
would make supreme effort TO drive the
Germans from France and Belgium, but
they are doing little or nothing to this
end. II may be that they are conserving
men and munitions until they shall have a
great abundance OF both, for it is believed
that each day their resources are becom-
ing greater as supplies pour in from
America. On the other hand, however,
the Germans will have tremendous REIN
forcements when they have finished their
job in Russia, and will be able to strike
fearful blows in the west.
II looks as if these are perilous times
for the Allies.

II looks as if the fight for the Republi-
can nomination for United States Senator
will narrow downt to Governor Hatfield and
former Governor A. B. White. Isaac l.
Mann is said 10 have withdrawn from the
contest in favor OF Mr.. White, and Davis
Elkins is also favorable 10 him. Hall the
opposition to Governor Hatfield shall con-
centrate on MIR. White, We advise the
Governor TO save his money.

WEST VIRGINIA Republicans are bli
worked up as TO who shall be national
committeeman from this State. Colonel
William Seymour Edwards holds the
honor, but the regulars think that ne is
not entitled 10 it, as he is Bull Mooser.
Besides, he is sick and cannot serve any
how. He has issued his proxy to former
Senator Davis Elklns, but this is highly
unsatisfactory 10 the Hatfield faction
and so there's trouble and no way TO set
tie il.
Recently vote OF the State committee
was taken for the election OF new national
committeeman and Virgil L. Highland
was elected, but Col. Edwards flatly de-
clines TO recognize the authority OF the
committee in the matter and will not ad-
nit that there is vacancy.

THERE is a growing belief that there is
a lion in the path OF those once iubilant
holders OF Virginia debt certificates.
Tie quotations have dropped from II TO
about SO, and though no explanation is
given, there is reason 10 believe that West
Virginia will be able TO settle on her own
terms. The Wall Street Journal says:
Weakness in Brown Bros. six per cent
Virginia debt certificates, which have de-
clned from II, the high point touched
on the day when the Supreme Court
handed down its decision, to 50 rs,
would seem 10 indicate either that there
is something definitely known by many
people detrimental TO the interests OF the
holders OF the certificates, which the peo-
pie in question refuse 10 divulge, or that
the status OF the certificates is not under
stood.
This is not an honest debt and we
doubt that if can be recovered. Certainly
that outrageous interest charge ought
never to be paid.

THERE is a good deal OF talk OF estab-
fishing a Summer capital for the use OF
the President OF the United States at some
point not far from Washington, and among
the localities suggested are Maryland
Heights at Harper's Ferry. Blue Ridge
Summit, Pa, Bluemont, Va, and Brad
dock Heights, Nd. II is conceded that
the President ought TO have a summer
home conveniently near TO Washington,
and yet in locality that shall be health
full and comfortable, and Congress will
probably be asked TO appropriate money
for such purpose.
1t would be hard to find more deSlr-
able place for such an establishment than
the Maryland Heights, opposite Harper'S
Ferry. There is plateau on the very
top OF the mountain that would be simply
an ideal location, and its elevation and the
grandeur OF the view would be inspiring
to the highest degree. For health and
beauty and availability. Maryland Heights
cannot be equaled anywhere near Wash
ington.

Roleau and Kitty learned soon
enough that in a race of the best Of.
horses against a good motor car the
former has small chance. They heard
the chug Of the motor coming swift
" on. In turn those in the car
could hear the hoof.falls Of the fee
ing horses. The fugitives had hur-
ried to the rough country at the edge
Of the desert. but guided by a reck-
less driver the speeding a chung
close to them.
A sudden exclamation from Roleau
came back to her after a time. He
pulled his horse up strongly. and she
herself reined in just in time. Ahead
OF them lay the brink OF a sheer drop
of unknown depth.
Pull or" cried. Roleau. Get to
one side and let them come-let them
come on"
She swerved quickly aside just In
time, and pulled up at the brink.
There she was the witness OF a sud
den tragedy.
The men in the car, their eyes fixed
only on the two whom they pursued.

time. Throttle wide open. they came
on at speed. Too late they realized
what was ahead. The al sped out
into space-how far, neither OF its
occupants ever had time to know.
Roleau's horse dropped into running
water as boldly lie spranE in out ahead
OF the car. Saved by his horse, he
swan it to the bank. Not so fortunate
those in the car. The vehicle turned
over even as it fell, and dropped-a
drop OF many feet, pinning them under
it beneath the surface Of the stream.
They were lost hopelessly. for had the
car not crushed them they must at
once have drowned. thus imprisoned.

manned as though paralyzed by the
