NTYLES in Job Printing have
- undergone many changes in
y the past few years. The old
style effects, 9 with the big,
gaudy type and fancy borders, have
been replaced with more simple de-
SIGNS. Present-day advertisers realize
that the old, out-of-date designs have
no connection with modern business
methods, consequently they use mora
dignified type faces which not only
attracts the buyers attention but re-
fleets the prosperity Of their business
as well.
The equipment of our Job De-
partment is up-to-date In every re-
spect. Our type faces are new, our
presses are kept clean and in good
condition; and the ink and paper we
use are just little better than seems
necessary. Let us print your next
job-we are satisfying other Martins
burg business men and we believe in
our ability TO satisfy you.

EXTRA SESSION OF
CONGRESS CALLED
PRESIDENT RECOGNIZES GER
mANy is PRACTICALLY MAKING
WAR ON Y. S. ON THE SEAS.

Washington. - President Wilson,
recognizing that Germany practcauy
is making war on the United States
on the seas, called Congress TO as
semble in extraordinary session on
April .. to deal with the situation.
The purpose of the session now call
ed two weeks earlier than the date
first set. as announced in the presI-
dents proclamation. is to receive
communication from the chief execu-
tive on grave questions of national
policy"
The president in his address 10
Congress will detail how Germany
practically has been making war on
the United States by the ruthless de-
struction Of American lives and ships
on the high seas in contravention OF
all the laws of nations and humanity.
Congress then is expected TO pass
resolution declaring that a state or
war has existed between the United
States and Germany for some time.
Such a resolution in itself will not
be a declaration of war in technical
sense, although practically it Will
amount to the same thing.
AS consequence the United
States will take further steps to pro-
tect its interests on the high seas
and elsewhere against the warlike
| acts of Germany, and whether an act
ual state of war will come to exist III
! its full sense will depend on the fu-
ture acts of the imperial German gov,
eminent.
President Wilson. when he asked
Congress for authority to arm Amer
| lean merchantmen, declared that ne
was contemplating no step that would
lead to war, and that he was not con
templating war itself.
Nothing, he said, but the warlikt
acts of another nation against the
4, United States could bring the country
into war. The president, the cabinet
and all official Washington now be
lieve that such a moment has come
and that it has not been of this coun
try's choosing.
Those cabinet members who have
been classed as pacifist or with pact
fist leanings, it was said offered n
objections of weight, and the Presi
dent, without giving any indication o
his decison, merely heard what ever!
member Of his official family had t
say. When the cabinet meeting wa
over some Of the closest observers fel
that the extra session would be callet
sooner than April 16.
