The ParkerSburg Sentinel publishes
what purports 10 be the terms on which
General Lilly agreed 10 sell out and with
draw from the contest for the Republican
nomination for Governor Of West Virginia.
They were as follows
Reimbursement TO the amount of $l5,-
600 for money spent in the campaign.
Support for Governor in 1920.
Grant p. Hall TO be State chairman.
General Lilly 10 be temporary chair
man and keynoter at the Huntington con-
vention.
The Lilly people to have one-haf OF
the State appointments in the event Of
Robinson'S election.
We have an idea that General Lilly was
bunkoed. Grant Hall was not made State
chairman-on the contrary, no Lilly man
was acceptable TO the Hatfield Robinson
faction; General Lilly was not the tenn
porary chairman and keynoter at the con-
vention-that honor was bestowed upon
Editor H. c. Ogden, OF the Wheeling
newspaper syndicate, who shower uc ,
abuse upon the Lilly people and threw
more mud than all the balance OF their
enemies put together. II General Lilly
shall hope TO have the support OF this
gang for the nomination in 1920, and to
have half OF the State appointments, he is
more gullble than we take him TO be.

THE people on the south side OF the
Potomac very earnestly hope and pray
that Washington county will vote cdr"
at the election in November. The reck-
less and irresponsible and drunken drivers
OF the whiskey jitneys have made the
roads unsafe for decent travellers after
night, not only in Washington county,
but in Jefferson and Berkeley counties,
in this State. The booze joints OF SharpS-
burg and Williamsport have become in
tolerable nuiSanceS.

ALTHOUGH he has retired from the Su-
prone bench OF the United States, Judge
Hughes decisions as a member OF that
coGrl do follow him. All over West
Vi .inia there is feeling OF hostility
against him because he voted TO saddle
an unjust debt OF some twelve millions
OF dollars upon this State. Now comes
the news that the American Federation OF
Labor is dead against him for his action
In The famous case OF the Danbury hatterS.
Justice Hughes concuned in a decision
by which the Supreme Court held the
striking matters OF DanourY individually
liable for boycotting D. E. Loewe &
Company, requiring them 10 pay some
$500, 900 damages 10 that firm. The Fed
GRAFTON OF Labor also holds il against Mr..
Hughes because. they charge, he en-
dorsed what they regard as the abuse OF
the writ OF injunction in the Arizona anti
alien labor law. His decisions seem 10
have been regularly in favor OF the rich
as against the poor and ofthe powerful and
influential corporations as against the
working men.
1t looks as if Mr.. Hughes is not going
TO be popular with the labor element.

THE sentiment in favor OF woman SUI
irdge is steadily increasing in West Viz
GINA, not alone because both political
parties have now declared for il in their
platforms, but because the people are
realizing now, as never before. that il is
only reasonable and fair that the women
shall be allowed this privilege il they de-
sire TO exercise it. There is aStrong be-
lief, too, that when women shall take a
part in the elections much OF the bare
faced fraud that is practiced in the south
western counties will be eliminated and
that there will be decent regard for the
law. At any rate, we believe that ii is
worth trial.

The repulse by the French of pow erful German attacks around Dead Mans Hill and counter attacks to the north of Cumieres, again has been followed by heavy German bom- bardment of these sectors and con- tinuation of the smelling of Cote Du Poivre and Douaumont, northeast of the fortress. No fresh infantry at Jacks have been launched by the Germans.
 In sapping operations in the Ar gonne forest, the French were en- abled by the explosion of a mine to take a portion of the crater.
 Nothing of importance has occurred along the northern section of the battle front in Russia, according to Berlin, but in the south the Austro- Hungarians have been forced to with draw before a counter attack by the Russians from trenches north of Mlynov, which they had previously captured.

GERMAN REPLY
 NOW EXPECTED
 WITHOUT DELAY
Republican A. P. Leased Wire1

BERLIN, May 1.-CVia London J. Future German American relations probably can be looked forward to with less apprehension.'
 The Associated Press is permitted to make this statement although dis patches bearing on the nature of the German reply to the American note respecting submarine warfare have been stopped by the censorship.
 The deliberations at German head quarters have been concluded and Am bassador Gerard will leave this morn ing for Berlin, arriving here Tuesday afternoon.
 The German reply is expected with little delay but it is considered undesir- able that preliminary indications Of the nature of the note should be pub lished abroad.
 Discussions over the answer to the American note continued Sunday at great headquarters without decision being reached according to a dispatch to the Local Anzeiger
 l The newspapers for the most part still refrain from comment. Theodor 1 Wolff in the Tagesblatt; Georg Bern l hard in the Nossische Zeitung; Count i von Reventlow in the Tages Zeitung and the Taglische Rundschau, how ever give some consideration to the subject
 Herr Bernhard considers the situa- ton still grave and voices a warning against too great optimism. He de- clares that the final decision depends solely on President Wilson"
 But there must be no half way measures" says Herr Bernhard 'ano the decision must create a final ant enduring status"
 He argues that if it is impossible tC attain with certainty a status that vii endure. it will be harder to reach decision, and the question would thel be whether the advantage for tn, moment or consideration for the futur, should govern. He refers to the fac that the offensive has been the guidinl spirit of Prussia and Germanys mili tary operations since the time O Frederick the Great.
 Herr Wolffs article refers again [, the hopes of Germany's enemies of rupture between the United States an, Germany as to the dissenting voice o Gustaye Nerve Ohe French anti-mil itary agitatoD whom he quotes q saying that Frances only hope is Ger many's thick headedness.
 Herr Wolff declares that the wa can and will last a long time. Tn Taglischerunds still believes that q will not be possible to find a compro mise between President Wilson's de mand and the protection of our vita interests since President Wiso seems to desire a breach"
