STILL UNANSWERED.

The S. o. S. Call for "cnlightmcrt"
sent out by this paper last week, is
still unanswered. Evidently mis-
take was made in including Blucfield
in the call. "Only ninety thousand
voters went to the polls" is all we get
from the seat of learning in West Vir-
ginia. Will some other city please
respond to the call for light? We
add Danville to the list of seats of
learning and general political infor-
nation.
If the Telegraph is correct in plac-
ing the whole vote cast at 10000,
which we doubt, there are plain rea-
sons for the small vote cast.
One is. the result of the November
election was settled by the primaries.
Another, number of young men,
voters had been called to the colors,
and away from home.
Still another-opposition to MIR
Davis was negligible and so recogniz-
ed from the start by both parties
Hence, for these reasons there was an
entire lack of enthusiasm in the cam
paign. The end was seen from the
beginning. When there is real con-
test on, as the Telegraph we'll knows,
the Democratic vote shows up.
The philosophical editor of the Telc-
graph, quotes Rosscau and Daniel
Webster to show that Virginia is on
the road to political ruin and death.
Perhaps so. If the drift is toward
Republican partisan politics, we adj
init there is danger of wrcckiag ahead
So far, however, the drift, if drift
there be, is slow and not ut all scnrry
and there is no cause for alarm.
The "News" pleads guilty to the
soft impeachment" of "child-like
faith" in Virginia democracy-a faith
which has not come "by Tearing"
only, but by seeing. Years and years
ago the government of Virginia was
wrestcd from the grip of Republi-
can Carpet-bagism and negro domi-
nation, since which glorious consum-
nation the old state has gone onward
and upward. Our Simple child-likc
faith" has grown into Il faith and
stature of full grown man. West
Virginia, including Bluefield of course
is throwing off the shackles of the
worst element of corrupt political ma
chine, and is coming to the light
May her march be still outward and
upward, out of the grip and rule of al
outside state. whose politics have
been rotten for years, and ere still
so. Witness Philadelphia.

fatherland-the land which gives
them the blessings of it's free insti-
tutions and opportunities and the pro-
lection of it's flag.
Millions of boys who, with many Il
salute, have pledged allegiance to the
flag and to the Republic for which it
stands are now to have the pride and
pleasure of rendering that allegiance
in Il real service which shall help their
country win this great war.
Secretary McAdoo, that big man of
the United States Treasury, who not
only is the Presidents strong arm i'm
the great task of financing America
in the war. but who is confronted with
the stupendous problem of financing
the whole world of our Allies and of
destitute neutrals, and who is solving
that almost impossible problem with
marvellous success, has gone straight
to the American people and has de-
clared to them that "Every man in
this country must be patriot, and
every man who, in these times, does
not feel in his soul the fire of Ameri-
ca is not Il patriot"
The call is to men of many races,
but now all of one great nation, men
who fell their hearts beat quicker
when they speak of America as "my
country" men who 3alute the star
spangled banner with pride as their
own flag. The call is to you-go at

and buy all you can; ti,en save, and
buy more tomorrow and the next day
and every day, and so help TO defend
the flag and the liberties you love,
and to send the same liberties into
the lands across the sea.
The call is to every American,
whether he has sprung from the free
soil of America. or has been trans.
planted from other soil to flourish
here. Now is the time to dedicate the

There is student in the University
Iof Pennsylvania who is earning his
way by one of the oldest jobs on rec
ord. Here's how he got it:
The other day he was walking in
town when woman stopped him, ev-
identity guessing that he was ready
and eager for work, and asked him
if he knew where she could find
young man who wanted job.
Fright here" the student replied,
and then he received his ictructions.
Eeach afternoon now he calls at
the womans home. A servant meets
him at the door and hands him a
chain. Attached to one end of the
chain is the woman's pet dog.
For forty-five minutes the student
leads the dog around the streets. The
dog gets daily airing and the stu
dent gets rs cents.
One of the downtown restaurants
yesterday announced boost in the
price of coffee to 10 cents cup. The
new price was duly printed on the
menu cards displayed at the tables.
During the dinner hour the walters
noticed the diners smiling. They
examined the cards and found that
some one had marked each menu as
follows:
"Coffee, 81 cents pound. One
pound will make seventy-eight cups.
Ten cents a cup brings $3.50. Who
gets it,"

LONDON, Nov. 1e.-Turkey seeks 70

sued Sunday and received here tonight.
Nothing is said OF the British capture
Of Jaffa or Of the presence o. General
Allenby's forces not far from Jerusa-
lem, and il is declared there have been
no serious engagements in Palestine
recently.
The statement isss follows:
The great victory the British claim
in Palestine arises from the fact that
our Gaza-Beersheba line has been with
drawn in conformity with a prear-
ranged plan. Except for the fighting
in the neighborhood Of Beersheba
there have been no serious engage
ments in these regions since the evacu-
alton Of GAIA and Beersheba.
"Our advance posts and detachments
in the latter locality showed gres.
vigor, but, as they failed 70 retire in
time. we had TO report heavy losses.
"News of q British success in the
region Of Tekrit (on the Tigris, north

The facts are that our advanced troops

Austrians who forced their way across
the Pisve River above Zenson have
been thrown into the river. drowned
bayonetted, killed or captured, until now
not an enemy remain on the west
bank at that most threatened point
The fight was one of the most fearful
chapters OF the war and one Of the most
glorious.
The Austrians made the first crossing
at the village Of Fagare, under cover OF
heavy mist. In their surprise rush
they swept past four Italian machine
gun batteries. capturing their guns and
driving the Italians back.
Then the real fight began. The Ital-
ians. recovering from the surprise,
fought like demons. II was a hand-to-
hand fight through the streets Of the
town, with no place for artillery or ma
chine guns, and the Italians using
bayonets, hand grenades. knives and
gelatine torpedoes.
The enemy held at first. then began
20 seek cover. and finally broke as the
Italians pushed into the town back to the
river. Some plunged into the water
and sought to get 10 the sandbar. All
the machine guns were abandoned.
Most OF the enemy fell along the
waters edge, and an observer who saw
the grewsome sight says the bodies on
the river bank and in the water
reminded him of heaps of seaweed after
the tide had gone out.
Further up the river, at the Sega
Mill. the other crossing. had brought
on another bloody fight. which lasted
until the whole shore was cleared OF
living Austrians. But il was lined with
dead. The Austrian battalions had got
across under the cover Of darkness.
some of the Austrian officers on horses
back. They took a position near the
town cemetery and opened on the ltal-
ians with machine guns. The situation
began TO look serious. and for a time 1t
appeared as though the Italians would
have TO fall back. But now the famous
Rersa0lieri brigade was brought up
fresh from its heroic rear guard de-
fence of the main army as II retired on
the Aeld. Some of the other troops
were from nearby towns, and they were
stirred 70 a last desperate effort to
save their homes.
The Italians charged shortly after
dawn. their line moving straight up the
hill TO the cemetery. Against mschlne
gun FIRE and guns on the bank, the TIA;
ans moved with bayonets. grenades and
torpedoes. It was one of those charges
inspired by love Of home and country
which will live always, and 1t was IRE
