WEST VIRGINIA SOL0NS
MEETlN EXTRA SESSION
Called by Gov. Hatfield for Second
Time Within Four Months
in Emergency.

CHARLESTON, W. Va, February "a
The West Virginia legislature met in
special session today for the second
time within four months. The legis-
lators met in answer to call issued
by Gov Hatfield shortly after mid
night this morning as both houses
were preparing to adjourn the regular
session sine die. the time limit for
regular session having expired. al
though they. had failed to agree upon
general appropriation bill to cover
the expenses of the state for the next
two years
The appropriation bill, Virginia debt
legislation and road legislation are the
articles named by the governor in his
call. The special session held last No
vember was for the purpose of amend
ing the general election laws and in
vcstigating alleged frauds in connec-
ton with the November election.
- After two days of stormy debate the
two houses yesterday passed separate
appropriation bills. When the senate
bill was sent to the house. which is
democratic, it was rejected. The SEN
ate, which is republican. thereupon
struck out the enacting clause of the
house bill. The senate appointed a
conference committee, but the house
refused to appoint such committee.
After it had become apparent early to-
day that the two houses could not
faced the next two years with no
money to run the government or state
institutions Gov. Hatfield decided to
call the special session.

BANS PEACE AT ANY PRICE.
Former President Taft Disguised
With Certain Type of Pacifist.

BALTIMORE. February 24.-Former
President William II. TAFT. at the ban
quet of the Maryland branch of the
League to Enforce Peace. declared Thurs
day night that he had nothing but disgust
for the peaceat-any-price pacifists and
with the type which he described as the
sort which must be kicked into war"
No matchmaking man, he said, went
to war for anything except for a righ-
teous cause, and once the righteous
ness was established every man went
to war gladly and determinedly.
Mr.. Taft declared that when peace
finally came it should be accompanied
by world police league strong enough
to suppress war in the future. He
said he believed Germany was making
no attempt to avoid war with the
United States. Invasion of rights. he
said, was often as bad as invasion OF
lands.

British Contraband Ruling.

orltlSn Contraband Ruling.
What is the attitude of the British
government toward contraband in the
present war;
Answer-The mo stprominent fea-
ture is the fact that for practical -pur-
poses. the British government points
out. the distinction between condition
al and absolute contraband has ceased
to the value. owing to the peculiar
circumstances of the struggle Abso-
lutte contraband includes war materials
Conditional contraband was usually
understood to include articles suitabl
Tor either peaceful or warlike purposes.
Britain maintained that so large a
proportion of the population of the
warning countries is engaged in this
war directly or indirectly that no real
distinction can be drawn between the
armed and the civilian forces

PENDING FOOD
CONTROL BILLS
Declares Committee Chairman
On Food Legislation "Liber-
ty Convention" of National
Wholesale Grocers' Associa-
ton.
(By the Associated Pressl

Chicago, June 20.-Men who have
had much to do with handling the
nations food supply were here to-
day when the Liberty Convention
of the National Wholesale Grocers
association were formally called to
order.
Theodore F. Whitmarsh, president
of the organization paid tribute to
those at Washington engaged on the
food problem and the earnest and eff.
ficient manner in which the members
Of the administration put in long
hours at their tasks.
Mr.. Whitmarsh recounted that the
association is war council assigned
to carry out the pledge of the gro
GERS to assist the government in ev-
cry possiblesway He advocated that
authority to conduct all phases of the
war be centralized inta competent
few.
Mr.. Whitmarsh paid his respects
to those who would curtail exports
by asserting that such practice
would be unfair; unfriendly and un.
thinkable" On the subject of "Busi.
ness AS Usual" Mr.. Whitmarsh said
1--WE must help to correct the er-
roneous notion prevailing as to the
sort of economy necessary under ex-
listing conditions. What is required
is the elimination of waste and the
checking of actual extravaganza, not
contraction of business in a general
sense"
Fred R. Drake, chairman, in pre-
senting the report of the committee
on new food legislation, said the as
sociation is heartily supporting ad-
ministration food bills pending in
congress.

GERMAN ATTEMPTS
TO Use WATER AS
BARRIER FAIL
Dam River to Put Great
Stretch of Water Between
Themselves and Pursuing
French.
NV. the Associated Press,

The French Front, by a Cores
pondent of the Associated Press, June
15.-The Germans have not had so
much success as the Belgians, farther
north, in using floods as a barrier OF
defense along the line of the Disc.
The river, where it passes northward
of the devastated town of Chaune,
now in the hands of the French,
takes a sinuous course through
marshy low-lying lands and the Ger
mans after their fourth retreat en-
deavored by damming at several
places to put a wide stretch of water
between themselves and the pursu-
ing French troops.
Extending through the forest al
most to st. Quentin, they succeeded
for a time in covering the interven-
ing country with water and several
cities stood out like islands. The
nature of the soil and the dry wealth
er of the spring disappointed their
hopes of creating a permanent moat
in front of their new positions and a
tour of the French front lines in this
vicinity showed that scarcely trace
OF tnundatfons remained.
The roar of thousands of cannon
coming from farther south and east
told Of the tense struggle in prog
ress for the possession Of Chemin-
des. Danes. which the French have
held firmly since .it fell into their
hands last APRIL and where they have
fought back every desperate attempt
of the Germans tp recapture 1t 81
