x scription bill is not the re- X
x suit of failure of volun-

X < X X X X * Xxx x X kfk
Great Britain's CONSUMPTION bill
cannot be regarded as the result Of
the failure of voluntary enlistments
in the British democracy The vol
untary system has not failed and it
would be serious mistake to inter-
pref the >conscriptionist measure as
criticism of democracy, reluctance to
offer itself freely for the sacrifice Of
the battlefelds. !
Nearly six million Britishers either
have volunteered for the army since
the outbreak of the war or have at
tested their willingness under the
Derby scheme to respond when called
to the colors. In all the other bel
ligerent countries compulsion has
been used from the beginning of hos
tilities.
Only in the British empire has
service been left to the free choice
of the citizens. The millions who
have volunteered responded to the
British call compare fully with the
size of the conscript armies of the
other warning nations in proportion
to population.
The conscriptionist measure now
before parliament will add compara-
lively few men to British military
strength. A maximum is 100000
and this number may dwindle to
100000. The main purpose of the
bill is not to make decisive increases
in the size of the British fighting
forces. It. is rather a measure to
enable Premier Asquith to keep his
promise to married men that if they
volunteered to enlist, they would not
be called upon to serve until the
supply of single men had become ex-
hausted.
If the CONSUMPTION measure be-
comes law, the drafted bachelors will
be sent to the firing line before the
married men who have volunteered
under the Derby scheme 1t may
turn out in fact that CONSUMPTION ap-
piled to single men will make it un-
necessary for the elder heads of
families who have volunteered to
serve at the front. CONSUMPTION, in
reality has not been proven essential
as military measure for the British
empire and whatever danger exists
of the defeat of Mr.. Asquith's bill
centers in this fact.

lieved to have deranged the mind of

a rope in barn, he was brought to
Clarksburg and taken to the Weston
State Hospital. following examination
and commitment by the county lunacy
board.
Mr.. Bird brooded day and night over
the predicament into which the school
board got over the cost OF the school
building and became obsessed with a
fear that he was about to be taken
to the state penltentiary. The last sew
eral days his condition became worse
and day or two ago he got rope,
put a moose into 1t and attempted to
hang himself in n barn, but was res
cued Just in the nick of time. From
that time a close watch was kept Of
him in order to preveIfohim from do
ing himself injury. u Bird is 4S

ness to their own houses, or in the
loss OF slow and doubtful account by
reason OF action being taken quickly
by the firm receiving the information.
Finally few men here and there
got together and formed associations
for the promotion of better methods in
the granting of credit. One object was
protection against fraud and injustice
on the part of some debtors, by the
dissemination Of credit information.
Another object was the passage OF
laws intended to prevent certain kinds
Of commercial fraud not provided for
in the statute books, such as the bulk
sales law, bad check law and false
statement act.
The Central West Virginia Associa-
ton OF Credit Men was organized In
November. 1914, and its work Is mani
fest by the splendid increase in mem
bershlp, since its organization, which
consists of bankers, manufacturers and
jobbers in Clarksburg. Weston, Graf
ton, Belington, Elkins, Fairmont, Buck
harmon, huntsville and Sutton.
The credit interchange and adjust
ment bureau Of the association is one
OF the principle features OF its work.
This bureau Is maintained for the pur-
pose of collecting and classifying
credit information, and is now being
managed by U. R. Hoffman, former
superintendent Of the Bradstreet COM
pany Office of this city, who took
charge April II.
The steady growth of this city in
population and commercial import
ance, is thus reflected in the progress
and enthusiastic spirit Of the associa-
ton Of credit men. The city should be
proud Of this as wei las Of its other
business organizations, and see to II
they are kept alive by showing an In
terest in their welfare, which is the
welfare OF the city itself.
June IS to 16 the national associa-
ton OF credit men hold their annual
convention in Pittsburg, where repre-
sentatives from every state In the
union Will gather to discuss credit and
other business problems and condi-
tons. The Pittsburg association has
reserved 1000 rooms for the visiting
members in the leading hotels of Pitts
burg. and we are looking forward to
q large delegation for the West yir-
gfnia associations, whose headquarters
viii DO at the new William Penn hotel.

Ing to their work. At first 1t was
thought that the man had been muir
dered but upon closer investi CATION
1t was learned that he had fallen Off
the bridge.
DIR. S. NJ. Mason, coroner, was
called but as the body had been taken
to Shlnnston, Magistrate w. H. Wat
kns, of that town, acted as coroner.
AT noon Wednesday he had taken no
action and 1t could not be ascertained
whether he would hold an inquest or
not. The body is at the Hursey I'm
dertaking Company's establishment
at Shinnston, where a large number
OF persons viewed 1t Wednesday
morning but were unable to identify
It,
The supposition is that he had at
tempted to walk across the trestle
and train caught him on 1t and he
jumped off. The body was badly
bruised and several cuts were on his
face and head. Internal injuries are
thought to have caused him death.
The man was about 45 or so years
old and from appearances he was a
tramp.
No funeral arrangements will be
made until Magistrate Watkins
makes his investigation.

Central West Virginia Associa-

Our Creed.

Our Creed.
I'VE believe that we ought 10 join
hands and work to make the good
things better and the worst good
Counting nothing for self that Is not
good for all"
We seek no more than this: To
gain for honest merchants the faith
that they deserve; to make the just
and worthy way, at once the most Sc
cure and profitable; to draw the fullest
meaning from experience: to broaden
mutual confidence among the noblemen
Of industry; to save the hopeless ven
ture from Its own incompetency; to
stop the hand Of fraud before It's plan
shall reach accomplishment; to serve
with patience and with diligence; and
to champion the cause of "Construc-
tive Credits" against Destructive
Credits"
The recent membership campaign by
the Central West Virginia Association
OF Credit Men, resulting in an in
crease of nearly thirty per cent in
membership, puts the association
among the leaders in West Virginia,
with a membership OF sixty-one. An
other campaign has been started to
terminate May 81, with the object OF
having seventy-tive by that time.
The association Of credit men, both
national and local, probably is as little
understood by the average person as
any organization In existence. Less
than twenty years old, and starting
with very small membership. less
than 500 IN 1896. the national associa-
ton now numbers over 10000. and is
said to be the strongest business or
ganization in the country except the
bankers.
The credit man and his association
are the outgrowth Of modern business
conditions. Before the advent OF credit
