VIRGINIA NEWS

Commencing January l oyster
tongers and drcdgers on the Potomac
river will have thrown open to them
the area above line from Lower
Cedar Point to the Virginia shore
that has heretofore been reserved
for the propagation of oysters for
seed. This was agreed upon by the
authorities Of the states of Mary
land and Virginia :. when it was
shown to them that there is very
little demand for seed oysters, and
that most of the oysters in the area
ave grown to marketable size and
are not wanted for seed Under the
regulation opening the area to the
oyster takers no oyster less than
two and a half inches long is to be
taken from the beds, and an inspcc-
cor is to look over each cargo before
it is sold. Should the privilege be
abused either state can. at once re-
woke it.
In the circuit court of Page coun-
ty at Luray last week, Judge T. n.
Haas, of the circuit court handed
down a decision in test case i'll
which he says, in interpreting the
Mapp prohibition law of Virginia,
that any male citizen of the state
twenty-one years of age can order
the allowed quart of whisky a
month, whether he is living with his
parents, in a boarding house or at
any place he calls home. This opin-
ion is in contradiction of that hand.
ed down few days ago by Judge
T.. w. Peatross, of tn eDanvllle
corporation court, who held that un-
married men more than twenty-one
years of age are hopeless in the
sense contemplated by the Mapp bill.
Formal notice was served yestcr-
dav in New York, on $4,000 Broth
orhood employees throughout the coun-
trv that the Adamson Eight-Hour
Law will not be put into effect on
January l and that, pending the de-
cision of the United States Supreme
Court, the accounts of the roads Will
be "kept in such manner that II the
constitutionality of the eight-hour
bill be upheld, the men shall prompt
" receive any back pay due under
the decision of the court"

ed. with the result that the enemy
strength is apparently waning, while
!hat of Russia and her allies is con-
stantly growing, proceeds to say:
Germany is feeling that her COM
plete defeat is near, and near also is
the hour of retribution for all her
wrongdoings and violations Of the
moral law, AS in the time of her
strength she declared war, SO now
feeling her weakness she suddenly
offers to enter upon peace negotia-
tions, desiring to complete such nego-
tiations, before her military talent is
exhausted.
".At the same time she is creating
g false impression about the strength
of her army by utilizing her tenn
porary success over the Roumanians,
who lack experience in the conduct
Of modern warfare.
Arguing that the allies are entitled
to choose favorable hour for peace
negotiations, just as Germany chose
i favorable hour for declaring war,
the order says:
"This time has not yet arrived The
enemy has not been driven out of the
provinces he has occupied. Russia's
attainment of the tasks created by
the war Regarding Constantinople
and the Dardnelles, as well as the
creation of free Poland from ali
three of her now incomplete tribal
districts-has not yet been guarah-
teed To conclude peace at this moment
would mean failure to utilize the
fruits Of the untold trials Of the he
roic Russian troops and fleet.
"Thcsc trials and the still more
sacred memory Of those noble sons
of Russia who have fallen on the bat
tlef!cld do not permit of the thought
of peace until final victory over our
enemies. Who darcs to think that he
VINO brought about war shall have
it in his power to conclude the war
at any time he likes?"

room. When the alarm sounded the
attendants devoted their efforts to
calming the patients and carrying
out those who were helpless.
Shrieklng men and women became
nysterical through fright and rushed
for the doors. Many of them were
clad in himsy bed clothing, some
tainted and others made the rescue
work by the attendants extremely
difficult. All the helpless patients
were carried to other wards and the
Libert and Fame fire companies were
called from this city. They managed
to extinguish the flames before they
could spread beyond the ball room.
There are 500 patients in the hos
pita!, which has accommodation for
only 400, and for hours after the fire
was extinguished, because of the
mental condition of the patients, the
attendants were compelled to resort
to extraordinary measures to re-
strain many of them from doing vio-
lence to themselves and to others. 1t
even became necessary to administer
soothing drugs to some of the pa
tients, whose excitement could not
otherwise be subdued.
