damage to property in this county
The high winds that accompanied
some of the rains have blown down
the corn and other growing crops.
The ground has remained water-sog-
ged preventing any plowing or hoe
ing. hence the grass has gotten such
an advantage that many farms seem
to be hopelessly in the clutches OF
General Green. The roads and
bridges, too, have sc!iercd heavily, IL
some localities the roads being liter
ally washed to pieces. 1t will take
many months to repair the damage to
the roads and bridges and the ex-
pense to the county will be heavy.

before Some are blind, some are
crippled, some have lost q hand CT
an arm. A few sell shoe-strings OF
lead pencils, and some sing or pla"
along the streets, but by far the
larger number appear to trade upon
their misfortunes or their manned
or defective condition.
Whence do all these blind, halt and
lame men come? They do not reside
in Danville surely. If We will OBJ
serve when we are at the railway
station we shall see them arriving
on the incoming trains, these peri
patetic mendicants, birds Of. passage,
who go from town to town to work"
them and to appeal to the charity OF
the people. We can take care of our
own detectives anu II is the duty of
a city to do this, but we submit there
is no call upon the people of Danylllle
to contribute to these birds of pass
age whom make business of mem
delaney. Many Of them are frauds.
Few of them show any disposition
to do anything to support themsel-
YES. In our judgment it is a mistake
to permit and tolerate what our or
dinances forbid-mendicancy on the
streets.
We would direct the attention OF
the police department to the COM
ing and going Of these wandering
street beggars and urge the enforce
ment of the laws. If these traders
upon their own missortunes are told
that they must leave the city or be
regarded as Migrants or mendicants
we shall be able to break up this alb
use of undiscriminating charity. II
the street beggar is required to state
where his home is and when he
came to Danville, it will not be diff
ficult to rid the city Of this nuisance,
furthermore, if these medicants are
offered the alternative of going to
the almshouse or of leaving the city,
they will soon seek greener fields
and pastures new.

REASONS FOR PEACE
Baltimore American)

Loving peace and desiring to keep
out of the war that has made the
nation, mad and unlixcd their sense
of settled responsibility, Mr. Wilson
describes the United States as pre-
serving it's apartncss from the Eu-
ropean struggle as passion of pla-
cidity. He also points out that this
country by keeping out of the dread
full vortex will be in a position to aid
the warning powers along the path
ways of peace and to support them
in their efforts to achieve rehabllita-
ton. Much of the moral and potential
resources of the world have flowed
into this country until the nation is
rapidly becoming more wealthy and
powerful and morally more righteous
in its standards and stature.
The address before the Washing
ton Press Club, despite its easy. IA
miliar tone reciting as the speaker
did the trials. of being head of the
nation, was tinged with a sense of
exalted purpose as well as by bit
Of pathos. And this is the keynote OF
The American experience at the pres
cnt time. 1t has preserved thus far
is purpose for peace and righteous
ness and it has suffered keen!y in
the process, in fact, the ordeal Of SO
Going. 1t therefore, has additional
reason for devotion to peace, derived
from its conflicts to maintain such
The country is glad with the PreSi
dent in the result thus far And there
remains now no European menace.

entente, it is explained, is only pre-
pairing for additional concentrated Ell
Forts to press their advantage home
So convinced are the entente diplo'
mats Of Germany's approaching weak
ness for the final stages Of the strug.
gle that. they. expect the peace talk
from Berlin to become more and
more pronounced and emphatic until
it ends in a practical appeal to the
neutral nations to use their influence
against the crushing Of, the central
powers.
The United States government has
received official reports from it's own
agents tending to show that Germany
is beginning to feel the effects of the
"drag" much more deeply than is gen
orally known.

THE COUNTRY
CHURCH.

In pursuance of recommendation
Of Governor Stuart, yesterday was
celebrated as Country Church Day.
lin Virginia. The Governor set apart
the first Sunday in the month for
this service, but as May Eth was
lhonorcd as "Bible Day." it was neces-
sary to postpone the celebration of
Country Church day" until yestel-
day. Sermons appropriate to the &C.
casion were delivered throughout the
Commonwealth.
In sermon yesterday preachers call
ed attention to the fact that some
of the rural places Of worship were
not as prosperous as might be de-
sired. The ambition Of country youths
to rush to the cities is having a depres-
sing effect upon the country church.
Hence many such places enjoy
preaching but once month, while
they are others only opened occasional
ly.
Dickens in his ''Little Dorritt" tells
of London churches where the beade
stares at the minister while the
bells are tolling "Come, Come" but
they do not come. In rural districts.
however, people come for miles in
order to hear the preaching of the
gospel. The congregations are not
large, but there is an intercourse
both before and after the services
which makes all feel that it was good
for them to have been there. But this
is not so, to any great extent. in
the cities, in which people scamp
err to their homes after the services,
and there is comparatively few salu-
tations. Some time claspses before
a country congregation gets away
from church. There are greetings,
and .interchanges of thought, often
concerning the subject discussed from
.thepulpit. This general recognition
stands in marked contrast to what is
too often noticeable in the cities,
where men and women gather around
the same altar for. years and never
become personally acquainted with
each other.
Most of the dscourses delivered by
the Author of Christianity were in
synagogues in the villages and small
towns of Judea. He on one occasion
said, Gear not, little flock, for it is
your fathers good pleasure to give
you the kingdom
There was much said yesterday in
dcploring the decline of the country
church and its struggle for existence.
But these words are as encouraging
now as they were nineteen hundred
years ago.

DON'T CARE
FOR BOOKS.

An Indianapolis paper propounds
this query, How are the young folks
Of today to acquire the reading haze

are taught much more about litcra.
ture than it was the custom to teach
the boys and girls Of earlier genera
tons. Yet somehow it does not APP
pear that when they leave school
they read the books written b. the
authors with whose names they be-
come familiar as the great ones Of
the literary world. It does not APP
pear, in fact, that many of then. read
books of any kind unless it is :hc
sensational and trivial novels Of the
day, and even these they have little
leisure for.
So many other matters take their
attention. The automobile is one
hinderance to the formation of the
reading habit. The freedom it gives
is more fascinating to the average
young person than any book of fc-
ton, to say nothing of anything more
serious. 1t invites and knows no re,
fusal. Movies" attract multitude
to whom motorcars are not available
And there are dances and theaters
and the general business of having

Of activity. For in these days youth
demands good time as an inalien
able right.

sPEACE. PEACE. WHEN
THERE'S NO PEACE"

The pacific talk of last week seems
to have gone into an eclipse. WINE
Germany, believing she has won the
war, stands ready to listen to over
tures from the entente powers, the
latter are more defiant than ever
and announce that the Kaiser mus
fight to a finish. Under such cond:-
tions. the Teutons will, of course,
shed their last drop of blood and ex-
mend their last dollar in attempts to
keen the nation from being vanQu!-
shed. Hence peace signs have std
denly become scarce upon the horizon
It is said that the die is cast. Ger
Anany must fight on to the bitter
end and cannot escape retrlbutloh
by useless appeals to neutrals 5cr
peace. This is the answer of the en-
tente allies to the steadily increasing
reacc talk which has reached official
circles in Washington from Berlin
The allies position, it is explained,
has. been made perfectly clear to
President Wilson and this is the
prime reason why the Presidents eff
forts to act as mediator in the war
have been confined to more or less
academic utterances on the general!
subject of peace instead of taking the
form of a definite proposal to dis
cuss the ending of the war.
Both the President and Secretary cl
State Lansing have been Informed con-
fidcntially from sources close to the
entente capitals that peace proposals
now are out of the question.
The time is not ripe, it is explained,
and the time will not be ripe "un-
til Germany's military dominance has
been completely broken"
The attitude of the entente has
been explained to the world by Rene
Vwiani. of the French cabinet, who,
with the full sanction Of all the en-
tente governments, made statement
in Petrograd on Friday in which he
said that the allies stand solid fol
flight to a finish" that they intend
to break Germany's heavy sword and
that they are steadily forging Ger
many's chastisement.
The, entente allies have translated
Germsny's peace pleas into meaning
that the imperial government nov
sees the handy, ting on the wall and
is taking measures far in advance
s In an effort to end tho war.
The entente claims that they are
daily growing stronger in both arnia;
mcnt and men.
They claim that their campaign u
slowly but surely break Germany:
