The House will take vote on the
CONSUMPTION bill late today (Friday),
and the Senate Saturday evening.
West Virginia's delegation will most
probably line up-five for CONSUMPTION,
and one against It. The one vote is ex.
pected to be that of Congressman
Harry G. woodward. Of the Fourth dis.
trict, who has very strong convictions
against fastening the policy of con-
scriptlon on the country until It is
shown that an army cannot be raised
by volunteering. He has, 1t is under
stood, prepared speech explaining his
position. Some OF the other members
are not rampant for the conscription
feature, but have decided to cast their
lot with the majority, the expectation
being that the bill as the administra,
ton wants It will pass the House BY
large majority.
Senator Howard Sutherland is ex.
pected to vote against CONSUMPTION
This supposition is based on the fact
that he voted against 1t in the commit
tee on military affairs. Of which he II

Speaker Clarks opposition to the selective
draft is not surprising, since he has never been
famous for broad vision or clear judgment
We do not believe that his close political
friendship for Senator Stone nor the fact that
he has large German constituency in Mis-
souri, has influenced him in this matter. 1t
would be humiliatng. indeed, If the Speaker
of the House of Representatives were affected
by such considerations. His singular mental
obtuseness can be explained by his tempera-
mental and personal defects and limitations
His obstinacy. his prejudices his self-esteem,
are abnormal, while his intellect and states
manship are subnormal for man who has
occupied so important place in public life.

Congressman Reed today took up
with the Postoffice department the
question Of the resignation of Harry
p. Hardesty, postmaster at wilson
burg. Some time ago Mr.. Wilson sent
his resignation and asked to be re-
lieved at once of his duties in the Of
flee. On account of the inability of
the department to secure satisfac-
tory successor, the resignation was
not accepted. Mr.. Reed is trying to
secure the selection of postmaster
so that Mr., Wilson may be relieved OF
a Job he no longer desires.

bosom of the great American family
with cheers and tears OF enthusiasm.
Schools were dismissed for several
hours, and not the least interesting fea'

continuous sounds OF the sirens along

Here comes Joffre," "Hurrah for

The majority of the onlookers were
not familiar enough with the niceties

WASHINGTON. D. c., April U.s.
Washington is so full OF thrills these
days that the average patriotic citi-
zen scarcely RECEIVERS from one emo
tional stirring, until another is at hand.
1t began on Sunday with the arrival
OF the British commission and each
day stirs the interest and enthusiasm
Of citizens to higher pitch.
Probably the highest tide of senti-
ment-when the feelings of the on
lockers crystallized in one great out
burst-twas reached when the marshal
of France, his mission and his escort,
proceeding over the route OF the in
augural parades, arrived at the statue
of Fayafette, in the square named in
honor of the French hero. The climax
of the ovation to the French commits
sion reached its height in front of the
monument erected to commemorate
the deeds of this early friend of the
Frenchmen and Americans alike were
touched at the exhibition of affection
and admiration which the appearance
of Joffre evoked as he gravely saluted
the monument to his fellow country
man who was the friend Of Washing
ton and soldier of the Revolution.
There was amid all the cheers and be-
hind the tears dignity and solemnity
that will never fade from the memory
of all fortunate enough to participate
in Washington's welcome to Joffre, and
to witness the procession as it passed
Lafayette park to the house on the
hill where the hero of the Marine will
be at home to his American allies I'M
til the end of May.

Goodrich Establishes Bureau
for Routing of Merchandise

While this present freight conges-
ton and strict embargoes have been
serious in their effects, they will at
least more fully develop the possibili-
ties of motor truck transportation.
When the situation is relieved no
doubt many will continue to use mo-

many advantages intensified by the

For sometime the Goodrich Com
pany has maintained fleet of fast
heavy duty motor trucks to transport
motor car tires from its big Akron
factories to Cleveland where they are
then shipped by rail. When the lake
season opens these shipments will be
diverted to the boats in every possible
instance and New York, Buffalo, Chi

points will be reached more rapidly

Motor car manufacturers were the
first to fee, the necessity for this new
bureau, for with their production 60

the dealers orders, the present
freight congestion and embargoes in
many centers has worked serious
hardships Practically all manufac-
turers and many of their dealers are
daily appealing to this new Highway

information that will facilitate the
delivery of their cars overland. The

"No small car on the market so
nearly meets the requirements of bus
mess men, real estate operators, pro-
fessional men and others whose daily
work covers a large territory, as does
the new 1917 -Four Ninety Chevrolet
roadster" said O. N. Sebastian, Of Sc
bastian & Brundage, Valley distribu-
tors of the Chevrolet line, this morn
ing, on receipt of the first of the
new models seen in this territory.
"This new model has several new
features that will appeal to the dis
eliminating buyer. The new stream
line body, of trim appearance, finely
balanced, is mounted on the famous
Four Ninety chassis. In the reas
is a spacious apartment for carry
ing supplies, and sealed with water
tight cover.
"T'he indicator board, in addition tc
usual equipment, has an oil sight feeC
that saves the average driver consid.
cradle worry and expense.
"For those seeking a light, easy
roadster Of reliability and economy
this car is an ideal investment, anc

for this territory will be taken in 6
very short time"
