WEST VIRG|N|ANS
ENJOYING SERVICE
ON TEXAS BORDER
SERGEANT LOEBIG OF SECOND W.
VA. INFANTRY, RELATES
EXPERIENCES
Says Men Are Anxious To Got Home
And Few viii Re-eniist-Sani-
tary Conditions Good

Sergeant Adam ]. Loebig, OF Com
pany A, Second West Virginia Infan-
Try, now stationed at the great concen-
Itration camp at San Antonio, Texas, Is
in Wheeling looking after some bust
mess matters, having arrived from the
border q week ago.
Sergeant Loebig Is newspaperman
by occupation and during his stay with
the regiment in Texas he has supplied
the Intelligencer with news concern
ing tho United States troops in general
and the West Virginia boys in particu-
lar.
The "soldiercorrespondent," as he
lis called by his comrades, has complet-
ed his term Of active service and has
passed to the reserve list OF West Vir-
ginia, subject to the call of the presi-
dent in the event further hostilites
are opened along the border.
When seen by an Intelligencer re-
porter, Sergt. Loebig spoke freely on
the National Guard conditions IN Mex
leo. He said tho troops from West
states, are in better physical condition
than they were when they were called
into the service on June 10, 1915, In
spite of the many runners that the boys
are being overworked and required to
march such distances that their health
lis threatened.
Anxious To Get Home
"The boys are all enjoying their ser.
vice on the border" the sergeant
stated, "but they are anxious to get
hack home. The members Of the West
i Virginia Regiment, who answered the
call and took the federal oath, had no
! idea they were being called into the
regular service, but they did under.
stand they were called upon to defend
the nations honor and were to go to
said 10 be a state Of war existing"
] When asked as to whether or not
the majority of the boys from this
state will enlist again, Sergeant Loe-
big said there will be very few re-en-
listments in the Second West Virginia
as well as in all regiments from every
stauo shat sent troops to back up de-
mands said to have been made by the
administration.
! Sanitary Conditions Good
Continuing he said: Sanitary condl-
tons in the camps Of National Guards
men, In Texas and other border states
is better at present than ever before
In the history Of the United States
Army. The National Guard now in the
actual service of the United States
measures up the standard required Of
the Regular Army. The officers in all
guard regiments, however, are not as
efficient as those in the standing army.
which has caused the degree Of discip-
line in the guard to fall very low in
some regiments. Many officers who
rightfully hold their commissions only
through political influence, are very IN.
competent, and their services are detri-
mental to the safety conditions Of the
emil. ed men under them"
,-Jrgeant Loebig advocated the death

known cause damaged an old brick
house on Fotry-second street, owned
by the Wheeling, Electric company, TO
the extent of about 5000 early Sunday

the Fort kalbitzer hose house at 2:19
a. NJ, Sunday morning summoned the
South Side fire houses and the fire
men had a sharp battle for several
minutes before they succeeded in con-
quering the flames.
The blaze started in cupboard IN
the front part of the house and a
strong wind was sweeping the flames
all through that section Of the build
ing when the fremen arrived. A
sharp battle of several minutes. how.
ever, saved the building from total
destruction. The fire department OIL
Gals have not been able to determine
how the fire started.
One room in the rear OF the, house
was used as sleeping quarters by two
laborers, who were still asleep when

Of the house was used by the electric
company for storing wire and other
material. The building was not in

WORK OF BOARD IS
 EXACTING AND GRAVE

Some healthy advice to members of local boards is given in a personal letter sent to each board by Provost Marshal General E. H. Crowder. He says:
 "You are entering on a difficult task, the gravity of which is beyond any thing that can be said in the way of discussion. You realize the signifc- ance of what you are to do. and you know that a responsibility, heavier perhaps than you have ever faced, is upon you. =.
 "War demands individual sacrifice to the common cause. No people ever approached war with calmer appre- citation of that sacrifice or a firmer resolve to bear it and to present them selves to be classified for service in the place to which it shall best serve the common good to call them.' This calm determinatiop could not exist were it not for the confidence of the nation in its institutions. In this pub lie confidence is found the very spirit of the selective service law. The most sacred rights of country, home, and family are entrusted for adjudication to local citizens and officials, nominat- ed by State governors and appointed by the president. The most equitable rules that could be devised have been prescribed for guidance, and the ad- ministration of these rules and the sacrifice that is offered by your neigh bors is entrusted to your hands.
 "From every one is demanded a sacrifice. But there is one thought to be kept always in your mind. The selected man offers his life. There is no greater giving than this and that thought should guide you always. There may be a few who will urge upon you claims for exemption or dis charge that, whatever may be your inclinations of sympathy or affection, you will know ought not to be grant ed. It will strengthen you to remem- Der that for ever, exemption or dis charge that is made for individual convenience, or to escape personal loss of money or property, or for favor or affection, some other man whose time would not otherwise have come, mus. incur the risk of losing his life.
 "There can be no room for hesita- tion in such a case.
 Another fundamental thought is this:
 "You are not court for the ad. justment of differences between two persons in controversy. You are lagents of the government, engaged in

PRETTY TOUGH

From Flagstaff, Arizona, comes the report of hailstorm that covered the streets and the surrounding country with six inches of ice. Those Arizon- ans are a hardy bunch. No matter how hot or how cold it gets they manage somehow to live through it, being denied the privilege of dying and coming to California. They re mind one of the denizens of MT. Dan- te's Inferno" the spirits who were always buring up or freezing stiff and yet who were not allowed to lose consciousness. The better we come to know the Hassayampans the more credence we are capable of giving the report of Dante and the less we be- come like the old darky who, wher asked by the minister why he didn': believe in eternal punishment, replied "Well, pahson, I jest don't b'lieve nc human constitution could stand it."

 Arizonans would never die if they thought California was the eternal re ward, in fact, most of them would shuttle off if they were compelled tc live there.

A MINUTE-MAN STATE

Like many other States upon the declaration of war Connecticut was prompt in calling out her National Guard to protect bridges over water ways. The call was made at the dir ection of the Commanding General Of the Eastern Department of the Army, although the expense of maintaining the men on duty was borne by the State, there being no Federal appro- priation for that purpose. If the State Guard has not been available the work would have devolved upon Federal troops, and the expense, therefore, represents just claim up- on the Treasury. In order to secure a reimbursement for his State Repre-
 sentative James P. Glynn of Connecti- cut has introduced bill proposing to appropriate the amount which was expended by the State for the emer- gency. Other States have similar claims pending, and MT. Glynn will see to it that his measure receives the same favorable statues which will probably be accorded the others.

THE GREAT AFTER
 WAR PROBLEM

Americas great problem in this time of war is to keep American pro- ducts out of Germany. Our great problem after the war is over will keep the German products out of America. This war has diverted many German industries from their usual operations-it has destroyed none of them. There are more factories in Germany today than ever before. There is more motive power in use. There are more producers. The wac has forced this situation upon Ger many, and, when the war is over, all this industrial energy will be avail able for the commercial contest which is inevitable.
 Our national administration was dilatory, or unwilling, in recognizing the fact and the importance of our shipments of goods to Germany. For many months the President was in- sisting upon our right to ship supplies to Germany through adjacent neutral countries. In doing so he went so far as to deny the fact that supplies sent to the adjacent neutrals were re- shipped to the Central Powers. Hav- ing before us this demonstration of his shortsightedness relative to ship ments of American goods to Germa- ny, it will be interesting to observe with what vision he will contemplate the problem of sales of German goods in America after the war. Will he in- sist that it is the right of Germany to flood our markets to the injury of American producers Will he deny that there is any danger of such sales, until an avalanche of German goods has destroyed American industries ? Must we prove to his unwilling mind the facts as to the competing power of German trade, just as we have had to prove to him the destination of American goods sent to adjacent neu- tral countries? If so, the sooner we go about it and the more vigorously we press the argument, the sooner we shall succeed in convincing him of the importance of preparedness for peace as we'll as of preparedness for war.

WOBBLIES WANT
 TROUBLE ONLY

The attorney general who is charged with enforcing the law of the state had to be instructed by Governor Campbell to investigate at Bisbee. He will undoubtedly make a valuable report of how the governor allowed it to be done but will not mention the fact all state troops were in federal service and have been for over a year. Regardless of Governor Camp bells attitude, the deportation hap pened before any knowledge of it reached him. .....-.
 The general impression throughout the state is that the wobblies are no better than a pro-German and should be treated the same. Their whole desire is for trouble and the different Loyalty Leagues are going to see that they are accommodated.
