The War Today

An official statement on the
fighting at Verdun, issued in Paris
today, says that 100000 German
troops participated in the assault
on the French positions east of the
Meuse yesterday and that 10000 of
these, fully one-tenth, perished in
the attack. The Germans directed
their first blow against Pepper
Hill, but got no further than Chat
four Wood, where they captured
few trenches, part of which the
French have already recaptured,
according to Paris. Chaffour
Wood is north of Douaumont and
is the key position to Pepper Hill,
which for some time has been "no
mans land" being dominated by
both the French and German ar
tillery. Two divisions 100000
men) were hurled by the Crown
Prince in Chaffour and Ablain
Woods, driving southwark, in an
attempt to reach the Douaumont-
Bras road. This attack was stop
ped by the terrific fire of the
French.
Another German division, NOV
ing from Ialou heights, moved
southwark along the west bank of
the Meuse, but the heavy fire of
the enemy forced it's retreat.
Berlin claims capture of 700
yards of trenches near Douaumont
and some ground near Pepper Hill,
as well as the taking of 100 pris-
oners.
The Russian forces which were
advancing westward along the
Turkish coast east of Trebizond
have defeated, according to Petro-
grad official statements, the Otto
man troops barring their way on
the Kara Dere River, and have
reached the outer Notifications of
Trebizond, the last Turkish strong
hold in Armenia.
The fortress itself has already
been attacked by Russian aviators
and Grand Duke Nicholas forces
are said now to be within II miles
of the city.

School Fair. 1910.

November Sd and 4th are the days des-
ignated for the annual School Fair held
under the auspices OF Shepherd College.
The abundaut harvests and the thrift OF
the neighborhood ought to combine to
make this years fair eclipse anything that
has been attempted in this line in Shep-
herdstown.
The committee in charge OF the fair is
composed of the following members OF
the faculty: ]. d. Muldoon, chairman;
S. o. Bond and w. NJ. Duke. These

Myers and Robert Gibson.
A very enthusiastic meeting OF The
Joint committee was held last night and
the plans were made for making the two
days OF the fair gala days for The entire
community, and il is hoped that everyone
will enter into the spirit Of the occasion

In general the same lines will be held
in the matter OF exhibits as prevailed in
the 1915 fair with the exception that quail
lily is TO be the slogan, instead OF quantity,
and all are urged 10 contribute the best in
the way OF products, assistance and good
will. Some new features will be added.
The parade ought to be better than last
year, and il will if all hands will help.
Mr.. Owens is chairman OF the parade
committee, and he is formulating plans
to make the parade the best ever seen in
Shepherdstown. We are all hoping that
a splendid band OF music may be secured
for Friday TO enliven the occasion and
add TO the enjoyment OF all.
Pinkney Schley heads the finance COM
mittee, and he will call TO his assistance
all who wish to make the fair success
in spectacular way. He has some plans
for making the fair especially attractive,
and when either he or one OF his COM
mittee calls upon you, kindly respond in
so far as you can.
The stunt night will be feature OF the
fair again. All remember with a great
deal OF pleasure the first stunt night held

In his speeches Judge Robinson insists
on partisan votiag-stick TO The party at
all hazards, is his slogan. This is poor
argument to address to intelligent voters.
Such advice if followed would never right
a wrong, correct a mistake or defeat an
unworthy candidate.
On the other hand, John Cornwell is
appealing to the people to vote for a
change in State government because
partisan skullduggery has had disastrous
influence and has resulted in great i'm
positions upon the people.

What the New Survey Means.

Although a good deal OF speculation
has been INDUCED in as to the purpose
OF the work done by the corps of sur
veyors who have been busy in and about
Shepherdstown for the past couple OF
months, making careful surveys on both
sides OF the river, supposedly for rail-
road line, the surveyors themselves have
been careful TO drop no hint as TO what
their work means or for whom it is being
done. The Register some weeks ago
guessed that il was for line linking the
Western Maryland Railroad, at or near
Williamsport, and the Washington and
Old Dominion Railway, running from
Washington to the present terminus at
Bluemont, Va. Now comes partial con-
firmation OF this suggestion, in an article
published by the Baltimore Sun few
days ago, which is as follows:
Considerable interest has been mani
tested in Baltimore over the report from
Washington that the Western Maryland
is contemplating connection with the
Old Dominion Railroad TO handle coal
and other traffic. The Old Dominion
runs from Washington to Bluemont, Va,
and is said TO be favorably located for
the handling of coal if suitable connec-
ton can be made with some OF the roads
that now penetrate the soft coal section
in West Virginia.
The statement was brought out by
Representative c. c. Carlin, OF Virginia,
in hearing before Secretary OF the Navy
Daniels in the interest Of Alexandria as
desirable location for the proposed gov
eminent armor-plate plant.
Representative Carlin said survey had
been made for the connection with I'll
Western Maryland and, if completed,
coal could be delivered at Alexandra and
other points on the line at much lower
rate than the one now prevailing. He
did not say, however, where the connec-
ton OF the two roads was TO be made.
The report brought up the old Sugges-
ton that these roads jointly might buy
the Washington, Baltimore and Annapolis
Electric Line and convert il into a steam
road. However, officials OF the Wash
ington, Baltimore and Annapolis Railway
secuted this idea. They say that no such
suggestion has been made, nor do they
look for any to come from either OF these
quarters. Moreover. when the sugges-
ton was made some time ago, il was
pointed out that to make the road into a
steam proposition would mean its practical
realigument, as it had not been built tc
take care of the large, heavy cars used
or steam roads.
AS is well known, the Western Mary
land is now in the control of the Rookie
fellers, and if they want TO make any
desirable connection money will moi
stand in the way. 1t is this which caused
some in Baltimore to give credence to
the stateme nj OF Representative Carlin.

In speech at Huntington, w. Va.
last week Judge Hughes was interrupted
by man in the audience who shouted.
"What about the Virginia debt case?"
To this Mr.. Hughes replied: "The
Virginia debt, sir, is a matter TO which
the Supreme Court OF the United States
gave its best consideration, decision
which you and everybody else ought to
respect"
Still, we admit that we have but little
respect for that decision which Mr..
Hughes seems to admire so much-eS-
pecially that scandalous interest for some
fifty-odd years which was tackled on
with his appreciation.
THERE is now little doubt in the minds
OF weIl-informed persons that John J.
Cornwell will be the next Governor OF
West Virginia. The tide is setting in
his favor so strongly and the opposition
TO Judge Robinson is so pronounced that
il seems impossible for the latter to win.
The opponents OF Governor Hatfield and
the friends OF General Lilly are still very
bitter against Judge Robinson, and it
doesn't seem likely that they will change
their minds at this late day.
Besides these influences, there is a
very widespread conviction in the minds
of independent and impartial voters that
change in the State government is i'm
peratively needed. and they will support
the Democratic State ticket so that we
may have a general house-cleaning at
Charleston.
There's no better man for this i'm
portant job than John J. Cornwell.

which was to interest all the members
in every department OF church work and
TO place its finances on more business
like basis. The reports made by the
canvasses are very gratifying, and il is
certain that church work will be greatly
stimulated. DR.. Cronk is one OF the
