PEACE DELEGATES
TELL OF JOURNEY
CONTINUED from first page).

the mob which everybody felt might
take it into it's head to attack the peace
meeting.
The air was surchanged all day with
combativeness, and as a matter-of-fact,
during the entire stay of the peace dele
gates in Washington. Groups could
be seen almost every where discussing
war and peace and it frequently be-
came necessary for the police to interfere
to prevent fstic encounters. Peace dele
gates were openly insulted by militia men
many of whom were under the influence
of liquor.
Another method employed to aggra-
vate the peace delegates was to hand
them piece of yellow ribbon. During
the night Tuesday the front Of the
peace headquarters was besneared with
yellow paint. The fact that Senators
Stene and La Toilette were hanged an
efigy is further proof that the sentiment
in Washington was strongly opposed to
the peace movement.
Tuesday and Wednesday were spent
by the delegates in interviewing Mime
sofa Congressman and Senators. This
was peculiar task and was practically
barren as to results, but the Minnesota
delegation accomplished this much, they
confirmed Van Dyke, Lundeen and Knut-
son in their resolve to vote with Con-
gresham Davis in favor of peace. Some
of the other representations informed
the delegationth that they did not believe
in war, but felt that conditions had
arisen which required the declaration Of
war against Germany Among these
was Congressman Ellsworth OF the End
District who admitted that he knew that
probably IS peS cent Of his: constituents
desired peace, but he hated the Kaiser
and the German autocracy and that he
could not conscientiously vote against
the war resolution.
The South was lined up almost sol;dly
Ill 1clV VI vi Cl1C w al d1lC IL was SCetCSN Ill
some quarters that this was the first
opportunity the South has had for re-
paying Great Britain for the billion
dollars advanced them during the Civil
War and for other favors shown the
South in supplying them with arms and
ammunition. This may be mere talk,
but it only goes to show that people are
trying to find reasons for certain actions.
Most of the peace delegates returned
home either Monday night or Tuesday.
The Minnesota delegation did not start
on their homeward journey until
Wednesday afternoon.
Resolutions Adopted.
The resolutions adopted at the peace
conference read as follows: -
We declare our unhinching loyalty at
the principles of the Constitution and
the ideals for which the American Re
public Was founded. 5,
The trainers of the Constitution
denied to any man the right to declare
war, and reserved that right to Congress
alone. We therefore appeal to Con-
gress to uphold the principles, of the
Constitution, and not to be stampeded
into declaration Of war;
/. Because we believe that all history,
and more particularly the frightful
waste Of life and property in the present
world war. has proven the utter futility
of war as means Of settling international
disputes Or Of indicating national honor.
War infiicts upon both sides injuries
far greater than supposed to be redressed.

reprisal. We appeal to you to be true
to the ideals Of our President As set forth
in his call to the nations to enter upon
q rev era Of peace with justice. Some
nation must be brave enough, human
enough great enough and humble enough
to say: This shall spread no farther,
whatever may be the cost to u.s. We
believe that God has called America to
the great and holy task Of peace, and ",
appeal to all her loyal sons to help her
answer this call.

FairVjeW Cemetery to be Improved.

Fairview, the colored cemetery at
Gibsontown, is to be enlarged and i'm
proved. The ground in the cemetery
has been neglected, so that it is over
run with a mass of weeds and under
growth. The road to it from the Ber-
ryville turnpike is too narrow to make
public road, so that it must be i'm
proved and maintained by the people
interested in the burWng ground.
To clean up the ground and to i'm
prove the road, the colored people OF
the county will hold rally there on
Monday, November 10. An all-day
event will be made of it. Dinner will
be served to all who take part in the
work in house near the cemetery.
Negotiations have been concluded
with Mr.. Thornton Perry who owns
land adjacent by which land will be
obtained to enlarge the cemetery,
making it about twice its present size.
Fairview has been badly managed
ever since it was organized over forty
years ago. 1t is now proposed to re-
quire the treasurer to give bond and
all money collected from the sale of
lots shall be used to keep the prop
erty in order. Its management is now
in capablehands. Nearly one-half the
colored people of the county use Fair
view as a burial place for their dead,
and there should be good crowd of
willing workers there on Monday, No

The Result Of the Ransom Election A
Real Misfortune.

The result of the recent election in
Ransom, in which the bond issue was
defeated, was real misfortune, and
unless corrected in the near future. will
surely greatly retard the growth and
development of our sister town Kan
son is a new town. with miles of un-
graded and unimproved streets, no mu-
nicipal building. and with barely
enough revenue from taxes to take
care of current expenses and keep
streets already graded in repair How
those who were opposed to the bono
issue can figure out that the town can
make any progress and develop and I'M
prove any new streets or purchase suit
able municipal buildings under these
conditions we fail to see.
We hope to see the question submit
ted to the citizens of Ransom again IN
the near future, and feel assured that
il they understand the question thor
oushly it will pass by an almost unani-
nous vote. In the meantime we hope
that the Board of Education will leave
the corporation authorities undisturbel
in the possession of the Municipa
Building. and feel assured that they
will do so

Maps Of Route Of New Railroad Filed.

The rumor that a new railroad
would be run through this county, fol-
lowing surveys by engineers more
than a year ago has given place to
something more definite. Papers and
maps have been filed in Martinsburg
by the Williamsport, Nessle and Mar
tinsburg railroad Railroad Company,
showing plans for an extension of its
line from Martinsburg to point
half mile north of Charles Town,
where it is proposed to connect it with
an extension of the Old Dominion line
from Loudoun county through the
Keys ferry or the Harpers Ferry gap.
The maps filed indicate that the pro-
posed road will be run in a direct
course from point southwest of Mar
tinsburg to its terminus near Charles
Town. 1t will be Is miles in length,
and will cross the Opequon a short
distance south of the stone bridge on
the Kearneysville road.
The route enters jefferson county
from the farm of |. D. Vanmeter,
northwest of Kearneysville. 1t will
cross the farms of L. d. Getzendanner,
James w. Strider in the vicinity of
Keaneysville. Coming south from
Kearneysville, the route continues
south of the main line of the B. & o.
Railroad and crosses the N. & W.
track on the farm owned by c. P.
Miller, formerly the Wyatt place, asd
ends on the farm of John C. Burns, a
short distance north Of Charles Town.

of the club lin trust) for one year,
after which competition for its posses
sion will be open to all the clubs of

JUNEAU, Aug. 19.-To the Edi- tor:-Haying noted the interesting outline for the organization of the glas-Treadwel Chapter which hsa been prepared by Mrs. P. R. Bradley and which appeared in The Empire last Saturday, it occurs to me that it might be amplified as fol- lows:
 Under the heading "The American Red Cross" should be added ito care for the sick and wounded in time of war, serve as a communica- tiOn between the people of the United States and their Army and Navy and perform such other du- ties of like character as may be as signed to it by our government"
 The committees referred to as the Emergency Relief' and the Non Combatnat Relief" or Home Service" committees are both group ed under the heading of the "Civil- ian Relief Committee The Home

Service" committee is especially charged with the duty of caring for the dependents of our soldiers and sailors.
 It should also be noted that the Red Cross Instruction" or "Edu- cational Extension" committee is classed as a subcommittee of the Military Relief" committee.
 With these slight notifications the outline is excellent and is worthy of the interest and patriot ism that inspired it's preparation. May I take this opportunity to thank the Empire" for your inval- uable assistance in forwarding this branch of the great work in which we are now engaged.

HOME FROM HAYNES

DOUGLAS, Aug. 20.-Mrs. J. w. Martin and children returned last night on the steamer Humboldt from four weeks visit with friends at Haines. Mrs. Martin says the weath- CT there was much superior to that of any portion of the Territory and that every person in the Haines To. cality is busy putting up berries, both domestic and wild. When there were no boats to carry away straw berries, they were sold locally at 50 cents per water pail of three gallons.
