CRhIIi-SNIPES.

An interesting marriage took place
III Lancaster today at high noon
when Miss Annie Pauline Craig be-
came the bride OF John Dustin
Snipes. The young people are from
Craigville ard are Key popular in
their community.
An interesting fcatgre of the we'd
ding was the fact that the young peo>
pie came to Lancaster last year on
field day for the purpose of getting
married, but the bride was too young
at that time and the ceremony was
not performed. She then promised
her parents that the marriage would
not take place for at least one year
and today's ceremony marked the end
of the year.
The marriage was performed by
Rev. ID. w. Kellar, pastor OF the
Methodist church, at the Methodist
parsonage.

INCE'S DEDICATION.

Critics describe as a masterpiece
Thomas II. Ince's dedication Of his
wonderful photo-play, Civilization, -
which comes to the Star Theatre in
Lancaster on Monday for exhibition
Monday and Tuesday. The dedica-
tion says:
Nearly nineteen hundred years
ago the Son of God, as he stood in a
temple in Jerusalem, was asked,
(which is the first commandment OF
all?"
He replied, Thou shalt love the
Lord thy God" This is the first com,
mandment and the second is like un>
to it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor
as thyself." There is no command
ment greater than these" Today the
great, sorrowful eyes of this same
Son of God gaze down upon blacken,
ed fields. where the mangled bodies
of men are strewn as grains Of
wheat, upon flaming, shattered ham
lets and stricken firesides.
AS He listens to the screaming of
the shells, the crashing of monstrous
guns, all the CHASTITY symphony of the
reddest war mankind has ever known
His heart must recognize the bitter
truth in the statement Of one of the
worlds foremost educators-that in
nineteen centuries Civilization has
failed to accept honestly the teach
ings of Jesus Christ
This is an allegorical story of a
war that has laughed at the worlds
haunting boast of higher progress.
1t does not concern itself as to
which side is in the right or wrong;
but deals with those ranks which are
paying the grim penalty-the ranks
of Humanity.
If the awful trial of battle
stretches vividly through the scene,
OF the narrative, it is in the hope
that shocked anu appalled, world
may henceforth devote itself moro
earnestly in the cause of peace.
Let our Civilization not be a mock
cry of our cherished ideals. but ratn-
er a synonym of that glorious worl,
Dedicated to that vast. pit;ru,
army whose tears have girdled the
universe-the mothers of the deaa

Van Wyck, March 29.-The pub

than the road drag to put them in
good shape. These places are very
annoying to the traveller, and the
road can not be said to be good until
these bad places are fixed. The
county board should see after these
weak places and give them the
proper work, and then the citizens
use the drag from one end of the
road to the other. This could be
done in short sections, at very little
cost and time. The saving in the

RAILROADS PLAN PLEA
FOR INCREASED RATES
Hope to Get More Revenue From All
Lines of Country.

Washington, March 27.--Genera,
increase in freight rates will be
sought, probably within the next 10
days, by railroads in every section of
the United States. Preliminary steps
were taken today by, virtually all rail
roads concerned in an informal con
ference with the interstate commerce
commission.
I Definite announcement was made
that the advance asked for Eastern
roads would be Is per cent on all
commodities except on bituminous
coal and coke.
Representatives of Western lines
indicated that they too would ask for
IL per cent.
Railroads or the Southwest sub
mitted figures showing that increases
ranging between Is and PA per
cent were needed to meet additional
costs of operation already existing in
the case of five lines. Southern rail
Dads will determine the percentage
of increase desired at conference
here next Friday.
No authority will be sought under
present proceedings to increase pas
,senger fares. -
In addition to the proceedings be-
fore the interstate commerce com
mission concerning interstate rates
Ispokesmen for the railroads let it be
known that they are preparing to go
before every State railroad and pub
lie utilities commission in the union
to ask for authority to increase their
freight t>riffs on intrastate traffic.
More Money Comes In.
But one dissenting voice was raised
at today's conference. A. f. Helm,
representing the public utilities com
mission of Kansas, cited figures to
uphold his contention that the rail
road emergency was not 50 pressing
as it had been depicted and that net
incomes of the roads last year were
tremendously greater than the year
before.
Telegraphic protests against the
proposed increases poured into the
offices of the commission all day.
Commissioner Clark announced that
the "house was full of protests al |
ready
In the case of all railroads except |
those in the South, the request for |
amendment of the rules so as to per- |
nit a prompt general advance in |
rates was based primarily on the
ground that the cost of labor, fuel, |
equipment and supplies had risen to |
unexpected levels and that taxes also |
were much higher than last year. |
President Harrison of the Southern |
railway. speaking for the Southern
lines, declared the roads of his sec.
tion were prosperous and would
continue to make money, even .un-
der present conditions. but that
without an advance in rates they
could not grow" The prime need OF
Southern railroads, he said. was cap
ital and this could not be obtained |
with earning capacity curtailed as
under present conditions.
b. F.. Bush, receiver of the Mis-
souri, Pacific, told the commission |
that without any advance in freight
rates there was but one alternative
government ownership.
To Hasten Action
What the roads propose to do, re-
presentatives of both the Eastern and |
Nc tern lines declared, is 10 file su

age. In this way proceedings could |
be fastened and the roads would not |

THE one big city Of Italy that feels
the strain of war is Venice. For
Il the Old City Of the Lagoons lies in
such proximity to the scene of the hottest
action on the Carso that the Austrians
whenever they suffer serious reverses on
the battlefield find it an easy task to wage
air warfare on Venetian women and chill
dren and the deserted churches, with their
priceless masterpieces Of art.
The damage done to Venice by Austrian
aeroplanes is described by Horatio +,
Brown, in THE Cornhill Magazine:
The city has been bombarded from the
air twenty-one times since the war began.
From May "a to Novem Der Z, 1915, there we're
eight attacks, all of them except two, BY
daylight, usually in the early hours OF the
morning; this year there have been thirteen,
including a small affair on November II, and
there seems to have been a crescendo in
their ferocity ard in the size OF the bombs
ut Is clear that some attempt has been
made 10 aim az specific points the station
the arsenal, the cotton mill except. per-
haps. during the violent attack which fol-
lowed the fall Of Gorilla, when the bombs
were freely sprinkled over the town; but, in
any case, the height at which the aeroplanes
fly makes the incidence Of the bombs mat
ter largely of chance.

when, on November 5. 1916. the Germans
announced with great noise the creation Of
Polish autonomous state, there were some
ncutrsls who expressed great admiration Cor
the event. We have never shared those en-
thrsiastic sentiments. Germanism reestao-
hshlng iolonism-that seemed to US too nara
doNcal II must be admitted that the recent
events IN Poland show that we were right in
not feeling confidence in Gcrmany's actsl
THE German policy in Poland has received
during the last few months one blow after
another. According 20 the General staff Of
Berlin, there were 100000 Polish volunteers
who had been gained by Germany's pretended
good will toward Poland. The incidents wit
messed by the Polish Legons and the treat
ment inflicted on Pilsudzk show how much
the German General Staff was mistaken in
ITS calculations and with what an energy il
is now taking revenge.
"Frussan Poland was the section from
which the Germans expected the least. But
their expectations have been exceeded. Deaf
TO the voice Of the sirens Of Berlin, the Polish
parliamentary club in the German capital
loses no occasion TO express its hope that the
war will unite and liberate the Polish nation.
THE Polish attitude in Posen has re-
rgined during tho war as il had been before
The war. In Austrian Poland, in Galicia,
political thought has undergone a complies
