DOUBTS
REPORT AB0UTPRIN CE


WASHINGTON. May 24--State de-
partment officials were frankly skep-
teal Of the accuracy OF the report
that Prince Won Buelow was coming
to Washington ON special mission
from Emperor William. They have
received no official or UNOFFICIAL inti-
nation that such visit was In pros
pect. s' "
A high official pointed out that the
report originated in London, which.
to his mind. cast doubt upon Its
proof since 1t was certain to be wide-s
ly discussed as q possible peace over
ture from Germany. The Berlin
government. he said, has not yet seen
at to suggest q peace move officthlly
or contidential1y In any way. e
The possibility that the former
chancellor would supplant Count Won
Bernstorff here also was greatly
doubted In official circles. Ambits-
sador Won Bernstorff's diplomatic
achievements through the submarine
controversy, It was stated, seemed
to make 1t certain that he would be
kept undisturbed by his govern
merit.

PAVING FINISHED
In Broad Oaks by Contractor
Charles Hoyt and He is Paid
in Full for the Work.

At a meeting of the council Of the
municipality of Broad Oaks held in
the town hall Tuesday evening the
council having inspected all the paw
ing done by Charles Hoyt. Of Wash
ington, D. c., and finding 1t satisfac-
tory, accepted the work and paid Mr..
Hoyt in full for the work done. All
of the streets which were paved are
now open for traffic and conditions
in that suburb are much better now.
A movement was started several
days ago by the residents of North
street to have 1t paved this summer
and as all the residents Of the street
are in favor Of paving it is thought
that at the next meeting of the coun-
Gil it will be decided to ask for bids
for the work.
Residents Of Orchard street petit
toned the council Tuesday night to
enforce all property owners on that
street to lay cement walks in front
Of their properties within the next
ninety days. AS a majority Of the
property owners had signed the petit
ton 1t was granted by the council.

ROBINSON
Will Address a Great Rally of
Harrison County Voters
Here Monday Night.

Announcement was made Wednes-
day that Judge Ire E. Robinson, Of
Grafton, Republican candidate for
governor, will address Harrison coun-
ty voters at s o'clock Monday night.
May 20, in the court house here.
1t is expected that the meeting will
be the greatest political rally held
here during the present campaign.
Judge Robinson is especially popular
in Harrison county and Republican
and other voters are rallying most en-
Enthusiastically to his standard. The
distinguished jurist is the most pop
ular man in West Virginia with the
working classes, and especially with
coal miners as result of his famous
opinion as member of the state su-
preme court in the Kanawha valley
strike troubles a few years ago in
which he upheld the side Of the min
ers. He Is equally popular with rail-
road men as result Of his long res
idence among them at Grafton.
The Judge will present his claims
for the nomination and preach sound
Republican doctrine, and while the
meeting will doubtless mark a
great outpouring of voters who
believe in honest. capable govern
ment, there will hardly be anything
OF the spectacular. about 1t, or any
Indulgence in denunciation of citi-
zens as marked previous effort or
two here by those opposed to Judge
Robinson.

AUSTRIAN OFFENSIVE
TO PREVENT Initiative

ROME, May 24.-The Austrian Of
tsnsive on the Trentino front and the
6nrious efforts Of the Germans to gain
q decision at verdun are explained In
semi-official statement published
here as a result Of a concerted effort
on the part Of the central powers to
prevent an unexpected Simultaneous
attack by the Allies on all fronts.
1.-THE central empires" says the
statement, wish to pervent, even at
the cost Of enormous sacrifices of men
and material, the Allies from taking
the initiative in the war operations,
and attacking them simultaneously on
all fronts. Such is the plan of the
central powers as revealed by the
great Austrian offensive on tho Tren-
tino front, while the Germans are re-
viving their offensive against Verdren,
Germany and Austria aim at wearing
out France and italy, counting on the
temporary halt in the Russian opera

Most Remarkable Reception at
Grafton Since the Famous
'McGraw Demonstration.

GRAFTON, May 24.-No more rous-
ing reception has been given any can.
didate in the present primary cam
paign in Taylor county than that ac-
corded William F. Hite, Of Huntington,
candidate for the Republican nomina-
ton for United States senator to sue
coed William q. Chiffon, Democrat,
during Mr.. Hite's visit the last two
days in the county.
AS a campaigner Mr.. Hfte proved
himself real vote getter. The same
high class business methods which
characterizes the man in his daily
walks are conspicuous in his campaign
1t is evident to all observers that
his method Of campaign is based on
the aim to get results and he loses no
time in making every minute count.
He is no dreamer but real worker
and he made his visit to this county
count.
Railroad men almost to q man met
and talked with Mr.. 'Hite here. Farm
ers by the hundreds came to see him
and they went away satisfied that
Hite is right. Business and profess
sional men flocked to him to assure
him Of their support. In fact,
he saw and talked to more voters
than any candidate who has visited
Taylor county this year and his visit
was not in vain. There never was
much doubt that he would carry Tay-
Tor county by nice majority and now
there is no doubt at all about 1t.
The reception held by him at the
Willard hotel last night, marking the
close Of his campaign in this county,
was the most remarkable here since
the "home- coming of Col. John T. Nc
Graw following the Chiffon purchase Of
the senatorship from him in Charleston
in 1911. 1t not only greatly pleased
the candidate but 1t convinced the
great throngs attending that they
were in the presence Of the man Of the
hour in this state and he next United
States senator from West Virginia.

Prince Won Buelow. one OF the fore
most statesmen of Europe, has been
referred to frequently In the last. few
months as the man who might be se-
lected by Emperor William to conduct
preliminary peace negotiations should
they be undertaken. He had been mem
toned in this connection not only on
