George Whitted, who halls from North Carolina, collected worlds ser- ies kale with Boston in 1914 and with the Phillies last year. and he needs it, for he supports a flock of nearly forty fox hounds.

FAIRMoNT, Feb. 19.-Editor OF the
West Nirginian:-The Poster Advertis-
ing association has connected with 1t,
directly and indirectly, millions of peo-
pie. II the billboards were to be abol.
ished universally. it would not only d.
rectly affect the Poster Advertising in
terests, but also the American litho:
graph establishme the theatrical
and amusement enterprises and many
other industries, who have built up
their business solely upon this form OF
advertising and are even now main
tanned byHit. Those people would all
be thrown out OF employment and ev-
erybody connected with it directly or
indirectly, would be affected. To do
such thing, or even agitate it, borders
almost on anarchy, as 1t would be de.
liberately taking the bread and butter
out of the mouths OF not only the work.
ing men themselves. but OF their
wives and children as we'll, and these
millions of employees would be bound
to become an object of charity. At the
present time they are one Of the most
prosperous and independent class of
working people in the world.
Not only do the billboards serve to
giey employment to thousands, but
they also perform another economic
duty. The billboards cover from view
many empty lots filed with debris or
immature building operations and.
other unsightly objects.
The organization of the Poster adj
yertising interests now demand that a
billboard must be kept in double-A con;
dition. This means that each board

works Of art that are displayed upon
these beautiful boards, they cannot
help but enhance the artistic value of
any section OF the city in which they
are located.
The billboards display many works
OF art garncred from the Old World
and without a doubt constitute the art
gallery OF the masses, who are either
too busy to travel, or have not the
means to make the pilgrimage to the
art centers to see these wonderful
works OF art. OF course, these pictures
are only secondary consideration, but
nevertheless, combined with the per.
feet constructed billboards, they do
more than any other one cause to
make the "City Beautiful"
Taking all these things into consi.
ieration, it seems as though civic or
gani2ations, and organizations whose
sole excuse for existence depends upon
identifying the city. could better de-
vote their time by cooperating with
the poster interests than by antagon-
izfng them and its kindred industries.

Ruhleben Is Indignant
Over Reports.

LONDON. Feb. 10.-(Correspond.
ence Of The Associated Press
leased prisoners from the Ruhleben'
camp who have returned to England
are indignant over the last report of
the American Ambassador at Berlin. in
which he made. the statement: "The
British taxpayer is paying a large sum
In wages because the Ruhleben pris.
oners are unwilling to.do. the fatigue
work Of the camp"
This charge Is called unjust and un-
generous by the released prisoners.
who say that Ambassador Gerard has
no real knowledge of the working OF
the camp.
It is true that the British, govern.
ment pays five marks week to each
| civilian prisoner in the camp. But
each receipt states explicitly that the
money must be repaid II asked for by
the British Chancellor OF the Exche-
uuer. At one time, the released p-is-
oners say further, this sum did help
the inmate of the camp to live. but

prisoners rely almost entirely on par
cells from England.
| Regarding the policing OF the camp,
prisoners offer this explanation. Many
or the prisoners have no relatives or
friends from whom to obtain parcels
by mail. To support these depend
ents, fund is raised blythe contribu-
! ton OF penny a week by all who are
able to pay. This fund Is turned over
| to the captains OF the various bar
racks. Out of it IS paid the wage OF
\ the men who have volunteered to do
/ fatigue duty.
A returned prisoner by the name OF
Keane, who spent fourteen months at
! Ruhleben after a month OF solitary
confinement. says that games and en-
| tertainments are absolutely necessary
1 in the camp for keeping up the spirits
OF men. Early last year a wave OF
depression swept the camp and one
man, on receiving news of the death
of his wife, cut his throat in the pres
| encc Of four hundred other prisoners.
liz took at this time the utmost eXer-
tion on the part Of few to keep up
any games or spots at all. So far
/ as the condition of the camp is con-
cerned, he says, the nrisone%i have
done everything, even to erecting Law
atories.
One thing about the camp Mr..
Keane condemns is the separation OF
the prisoners into two separate groups
the true British, who are lodged in
the stables, and pro-Germans, sons OF
British people born in Germany or
Germans born in England, who have
for tj1n Innst mart chosen to be called
British in order to escape military
service. The pro:Germans occupy
huts on the recreation ground and re-
ceive many favors, and certain num-
| Der of them have enlisted in the Ger
man army. Even those enlisting drew
their five marks from the British gov
eminent UP to their enlistment.
Ambassador Gerard visited only the
pro-German part OF the camp, accord
ing to Mr.. Keane.
