WILSON KISSED THE HAND
RED WITH AMERICAN
BLooD.


President Wilson explicitly
shows that the Carranzistas, not
once but repeatedly, made at
tacks on American towns, and
killed American citizens, and
mutilated them In September,
1915. Yet on october 10th, 1915,
less than a month later, this
same President Wilson, through
his same Secretary Of State,
formally announced to Carran-
za's agent that It was his pleas
ure" to take the opportunity "of
extending recognition to the de
facto government of Mexico, of
which General VenustianO Car
rama is the chief executive"
President Wilson thus recog-
nized the government which, his
own Secretary of State declares,
had been less than month pre-
vlously engaged In repeated
assaults upon Americans, and In
the invasion of American soil,
the government at whose head
was General Carranza, who, less
than two months previously, on
August End, 1915, had contempt
uously refused to pay any heed
to any representations Of Presi-
dent Wilson on behalf Of media
ton, saying that under no
consideration would permit In
reference In the internal affairs
Of Mexico" President Wilson
did not merely kiss the hand e.
that slapped him In the face. He
kissed that hand when 1t was
red with the blood Of American
men, women and children, who
had been murdered and mutllat-
ed with. as President Wilson,
through his Secretary Of State,
says, ruthless brutality."-From
the speech Of Col. Theodore
Roosevelt, delivered at Lewis
ton, Maine, In behalf of Charles
f. Hughes.

FIVE CENT ADVANCE.
IN THE PRICE OF OIL
IsAnnounced Bringing That Of
Pennsylvania Crude Up to
$2.40 a Barrel Now,

PITTSBURG, Feb. 21.--Another
step toward the price, for which
crude oil producers are said to be
holding their oil, was taken today by
the principal purchasing agencies
when the South Penn Oil Company
announced another advance as fol-
lows:
h Pennsylvania crude, FIVE centsa bar
rel to $2.4O; Cabell, seven cents to
$195; Corning, Mercer black and
New Castle, five cents to S1.90;
Somerset, FIVE cents to $1.7S; Rag
land, two cents to elghty-two cents.
Reports reaching the oil relneries
showed that during January there
was a falling off Of about 5000 bar
rels a day in the normal run and
shipment and the advance was made
in the hope Of making up this def
cheney. Competent authorities, how
ever, believe that the immense
amount Of crude oil now. held in
storage will not find the markets un-
til the prices has reached $3.50 q
barrel, as the producers are not
pressed for money, and they feel they
can afford to wait until the relneries
are willing to pay. Meantime the un-
sually high prices have stimulated
drilling and In spite Of adverse
weather conditions wells have been
started in almost every field In the
eastern district.

Rapid Advance of the Russian
Forces in Turkish Armenia
is Pulling the Turks.
IN A PERIL0Us POSITION
Far Reaching Results Would
Follow Success of Russian
Thrust towards South.

LONDON, Feb. 21.-The Russians
have occupied the entire Lake Van dis
trlct, the Turks retiring southwark
and even evacuating Bitlis, according
10 a Petrograd despatch received in
Rome and given out here by the wire
less press.
On the other wing, according to the
despatch, the Russian advance guards
have arrived within short distance OF
Trebizond on the Black sea coast.
The rapid advance Of the Russian
forces in Turkish Armenia following
the fall of Erzerum is complicating
the task of the Turks in efforts to re-
form their scattered forces.
From Tiflis; the Russian headquar-
ters in the Caucasus. comes the report
today that two Turkish army corps,
which were on their way to reinforce
the garrison at Erzerum, turned back
when they learned that the fortress
had fallen. Assuming the accuracy OF
this report, the Turks in eastern Ar
menia have lost the prospect OF I'M
portant help in extricating themselves
from what appears to be their perilous
position.
Unofficial accounts Of the Russian
movements record an advance both
to the south and to the north, In the
formation towards Diarbellr and the
Bagdad railway fifty miles beyond,
and in the latter in an effort to cut
of the retreat Of the Turkish forces,
which have been operating along the
Black sea coast.
Petrograd dispatches indlcae that
definite results are expected from the
movement to the north, where anoth-
er Russia nforce is working along
the Black sea coast in the direction
OF Trebizonds toward which the
Russian forces from Erzerum also are
pushing.
Far reaching results would follow
the success of the Russian thrust to-
ward the south, 1t would appear, as
the cutting of the Bagdad railway
would sever communication with
Syria and point to the possibility OF
close cooperation with the British
down the Tigrls from Bagdad in OPP
erations for the taking OF that city.

"'There were sixty-tlye deaths from

ter was delivered into the city. While
these figures cannot ,be segregated
from data at hand 1t can be assumed z
that Clarksburg suffered heavily In
these total losses in 1912 and suffered
fewer losses In 1918.
Case and death rate records kept
by the water board indicate that tyf
phold fever has been practically elm
mated In the filtered water districts
and that the present case rate and
death rate apply almost exclusively;
to the country districts and suburban
towns not supplied by Clarksburg
water.
The typhoid death rate Of a com
will fairly well represent the
sanitary quality Of the water supply
