1t matters not to me what his father
and mother were except that because
OF their sins We, their children, must
suffer even unto the third generation.
But ii all comes to this, Margie, be-
cause of my blind baby many other
blind babies will be taught To help
themselves; because OF my misfortune,
please God, many other unfortunate
and despairing mothers will be able to
give their children some comforts

Does not this appeal to Chad? He
is usually so sympathetic to all ideas
which tend to the help OF the helpless.
He has not been able yet to look at
it in any way except as a special dis

ITALY'S KING URGES
TROOPS TO BE HEROIC

ROME, Nov. liking Victor En-
manuel has issued a stirring appeal to
the nation, saying that the enemy,
thanks to an extraordinary combina-
ton of circumstances, has been able
to cncentrate all his efforts against
Italy.
The Austrian army, defeated in
every struggle for thirty months. His
Majesty declares, obtained numerous
seasoned German reinforcements. The
appeal adds:
italians, citizens and soldiers be
one single army. Every act of coward
ice is treachery. Evry disorder, every
recrimination is treachery.
'To the enemy who counts less on a
military vistory than on Weakening
our spirit and on our passivity, let US
reply with one voice that all are read
to give all for victory and the honor
of Italy"
The proclamation is signed by the
members of the Cabinet as well as by
the King.

SEVENTY-FOUR MILLION HOARDED In
WAREHOUSES; in new YORK CITY
WEST VIRGINIA AND WESLEYAN
AT HARRISBURG NEXT WEEK

This Saturday and the next, first at
Fairmont and then at Clarksburg, the
gridiron hosts of the Mountain State
will gather to witness two clashes
between three of the best football
teams that have ever been turned out
in this section. West Virginia, W. g.
J. and Wesleyan are the teams en-
gagged. West Virginia and w. & J.
are meeting at Farmont Saturday
afternoon of this week and both teams
are on edge for great battle. The
last meeting between them in 1915 re-
suited in tie score &c after which
breach in athletic relations occurred
over Rogers, the star fullback of the
University eleven. This prevented a
melting last year. This fall both
team have played wonderful football.
West Virginia is generally credited
with having an eleven that ranks with
the best in the east and her great
work in her games with the Navy,
Pittsburg, Dartmouth, and Rutges
proves this to be the case. w. & J. SIS
usual, has high class eleven. w. g.
j., too is the team of all teams that
West Virginians would like to see de-
feated. That a great crowd will
gather at Fairmont for the fray is
certain. A large number from here
have already secured tickets and the
local delegation is sure to be good
sized one.
Next Saturday, November oath,
Wesleyan will make stand against
West Virginia to break the series of
victories that have been going the way
of the Stat Team. Last year West
Virginia won the annual game SAT
and the year previous she also won 30
0. Wesleyan is adifferent team this
year, however, from what she was
during the last two years. Her 81
game with Penn State and her 1877
score with w. & J. leads one to
believe that the Methodists have the
strongest team in their history.
The seat sale for Wesleyan-W. Y. U.
game will open on Saturday at
Welch's Pharmacy, Clarksburg; The
Acme Book Store, Buckhannon;
Martins News Stand, Fairmont; and
Reiner and Cores Morgantown. Tick
cts will be the same price as for the
W. & ]. game, costing the spectator
S1.65, $3.50 for admission and $15 for
War Tax. Mail orders will be re-
ceived by the athletic management
either at Buckhannon or Morgantown.

THE CHASTITY LESSON
OF THE ITALIAN DEFEAT"
(From the Chicago Tribune)

(From the chicago Irlbune(
We hope the CHASTITY lesson of he
Italian defeat will bring home to our
allies and our own Government the
truth about the war.
We are told nowadays that America
must turn the scale, must win the war.
We have begun to marshal our mill
tary and economic resurces on an en-
ormous scale. We have right to be
heard and we hope we shall speak in
plain terms.
Unless the allied powers can har-
monte their military projects and
pull together, the war will be prolong-
ed till we are all bled to death and
Europe is graveyard.
Thert should be constituted at once
once grand council Of war equiva-
lent to the German grand general
staff This body should be fully en-
powered absolutely to control the
strategy of all the allied powers. The
occasional conferences of which off
cial optimism occasionally has given
US complacent reports amount to
nothing.
Another consideration comes out
from the welter of our CONSERVATION.
Let us have done with the stupid and
demoralizing censorship. We have
been fed with consoling rumors of the
breakdown Of German morale, exhaus-
ton of man power, starvation of the
civilian population of the enemy riots
and revolutions.
The strength Of the enemy, well
known to the military authorities, has
been kept secret. From time to time
we are warned in general terms that
the war will be long one and that
we must exert every resource to win
But these gneralizations do not i'm

formation which the censorship pre-

UNITY OR DEFEAT, LLOYD GEORGE
BRITISH PREMIER, TELLS ALLIES
At Luncheon in his Honor that he

Quitting the Fight"

PARIS, Nov. 12.-Speaking with
frankness that is perhaps brutal,
Lloyd George, the British Premier,
told his hearers at luncheon in his
homer here today that he had been on
the point of quitting the fight"
He had thought Of doing this, he
said, because of series Of allied
blunders. He continued:
= mo one in particular was charged
with guarding the Balkan gate. Half
the men who fell in the vain effort
to pierce the western front in Sept
TENDER, 1915,would have saved Serbia,
saved the Balkans and completed the
blockade of Germany.
Faith in Victory.
Il had arrived at the conclusion
that if nothing was changed could
no longer accept the responsibility for
the direction Of war condemned to
disaster from lack of unity. The
Serbian disaster was simply the first
of series that has continued to this
hour"
Notwithstanding all this, Mr.. Lloyd
George said he had faith in final VIC
tory. He added
Even if we are oblige to despair
Of Russia, my faith in the triumph of
the allies remains unshakable."
