Work Resumed

The work of rebuilding Main
street was resumed Monday morn
ing, C. X. Miller, of Churchville,
taking the place of E. 7. Bond as
foreman.
Mr.. Lee. of the State Highway
Commission, came out with Mr..
Miller, and while here proposed to
apply to the state for a more COM
plete street job if the citizens would
agree to the proposition. He cited
the fact that cement gutter and
curb were needed to complete the
work, and were highly important
both from the viewpoint of appear
ance and durability. The PROPOSE
ton is to extend this extra work
from the Masonic temple, on both
sides of the street, to its termina-
ton at the bridge. The accumu-
lation of water during heavy rains
is necessarily large here, and moth
ing but a cement gutter will re-
main intact and carry off the bulk
of water. Anticipating the CO.
operation of the State, the council
has "felt the pulse" of the citizens
along the line and they have
agreed, almost unanimously, to the
increased assessment. Nothing
definite will be known, however,
until a report is sent in by Mr. Lee.

Death of Aged Citizen

On Thursday afternoon, August
81, Just after the Recorder had
gone to press, the death OF John
Trimble was announced from his
home near Monterey. Mr.. Trimble
was one of the oldest citizens OF
the county and lifelong resident
of this community. Had he lived
until Sunday he would have been
90 years of age, having been born
in the year 1928.
He was son of the late William
Trimble and the last surviving
member of that family, save one'
Mrs. Mary A. Sipe, of Staunton'
who at the time, was visiting rela-
tives here and was privileged to
see her brother during his last i'll
ness.
Mr.. Trimble is survived by three
children, DR.. I. Fl. Trimble, OF
Staunton, Mrs. NJ. X. Flelsher, OF
Monterey, and Mrs. G. W. Heven-
er, of Waynesboro. Since the
death of his wife, who was MISS
Harper, he has resided most OF the
time with his grandson, Edwin
Hevener, at the old Trimble home
lust east of town, where he had
spent many happy, prosperous
years, and where, a few years prev
ious to Mrs. Trimble's death, they
celebrated their golden wedding
Until very late in life Mr.. Trim
BILE retained much of his energy
and vigor, but retired from ac-
tive life a number of years ago.
By his industry and good manage
ment he accumulated a large estate,
being one of the most extensive
landowners and cattle grazlers IN
the county. Soon after the war he
went into the mercantile business
here with the late WIN. Chew as a
partner, and in connection with
the home store at Monterey, oper-
ated a number of branch houses in
the county.
Mr.. Trimble was public spirit
ed citizen, progressive and enter
prising, and during his earlier life
was prominently identified with
county affairs.
He had long been a member OF
the Presbyterian church, and for
several years a ruling elder.
He was also a charter member OF
Highland Lodge of Masons, attend
ing a communication last fall, al
though too feeble to reach the
lodge room without assistance.
Funeral services we're held at the
home on Saturday morning,
by Rev. Mr.. Moffett, of the Nc
Dowell Presbyterian church, assist
by Rev. J. c.. Thrasher, of the
Methodist church, after which he
was buried with Masonic honors,
interment being in Monterey GENE

R. M. and F. M. Trimble, SIX
grand-sons of the deceased, were

For weeks, he pointed out that no

effect the blockade would have would
be on netitrals and women and child

that Germany was prepared for any

want to be misunderstood, said the
Admiral ASK Swedish merchants,
ask the Swedes in Berlin, ask anyone
knowing the Baltic situation and all
will tell you that commerce between
the two countries is absolutely nor.
NAL
For three weeks the English have
been unsuccessful in the Baltic. They
have made no impression because
their blockade is impossible II the
blockade is declared now contrary to
international law. it would not be a
blockade of Germany but of neutral
countries about here.
England probably thinks that this
plan would have effect on the men IN

men learn how England is opposing

JEWSIN AWFUL PLIGHT.
Victims of War Are Shown No Con.
sideration by Armies.

The American Jewish Committee
Yesterday issued a report on the suf-
fering Of the Jews in the Eastern War
Zone, describing their condition as
appalling beyond all precedent
The American Jewish Committee
is a body(of representative Jews or.
Iganized in 1906 TO prevent infringe
ment of the civil and religious rights
of Jews and to alleviate the conse-
quences of persecution" A, Frankol,
ia former OsKaloosa boy, is the Des
Moines chairman of the relief work,
and naturally the man in Iowa to
whom the committee looks for cooper
alton. Funds are being raised here in
Iowa for the work of relief. The report
shows that the seven million Jews eff
fected, who constitute one half of the
Jewish population OF the world, have,
because of their unfortunate geo
graphic position, actually born the
brunt of the wars burden in Eastern
Europe. When the war broke out they
found themselves trapped, absolutely
shit off from all neuthal lands and
| from the sea--i1 the region of Russian
Poland, Austrian Galicia and the Rus.
sian Pale.
They were overwhelmed where
| they stood; and over their bodies
crossed and recrossed the German ar,
mics from the west. the Russian ar
mics from the east and the Austrian
armies from the south. True, all the
peoples of this area suffered ravage
and pillage by the war, but in no de-
gree comparable to the sufferings Of
the Jews, The contending armies
found 1t polite, in a measure, to court
the good will of Poles, Ruthenians and
lother races in this area. These suf.
| fered only the necessary and unavoid-
i able hardships of war. But the Jews
were friendless, their religion pro.
scribed. In this medieval corner of
the world all the religious fanaticism
of the Russian, the chauvinism of the
Poles, combined with the blood lusts
| liberated in all ben by the war--all
these fierce hatreds were sluiced into
one torrent of passion which poured
itself out upon the Jews.

they had fed for shelter Orgies OF
lust and torture took place in the
light of day. Women, old and young
were stripped and knouted in the

In all, adds the report, nearly three
tmillion Jews are facing restitution

destroyed, their industries and trade
ruined and the entire fabric of theiI
economic life. torn asunder Hundreds
of thousands were forced from their
homes at a days notice, among them
