cheering is an indication of nativity:
there must have been numbers of
Virginians in every grandstand''
and among every group of specta-'
tors along Pennsylvania avenue yes
terday, while the inaugural parade.
was in progress. The journey of Gov.
Stuart Of Virginia, who rode ahead OF
his staff and several detachments of
cadets, was one continuous ovation
along the line of march. After the
carriage of President Wilson and
Vice President Marshall had passed
cheering was infrequent and sporadic
but, far back in the formation, came
Gov. Stuart. Recognition was quick
and the wave of cheers followed him
along the line. -.

The entire proceeding is without prec-

The State of Virginia was rep
resented by Attorney General Pollard.
For the bondholders appeared John
G. Johnson, of Philadelphia, and
Sanford Robinson, of New York. Will

The 1913 members of the West Viz

vice will appear either in person o.
by proxy. Should the writ OF man
damus be issued, the Supreme Court
will direct forcible seizure Of West
Virginia State property to satisfy the
iudgment-an eventuality which, il
is believed, the West Virginia Legis,
lature will avoid by retiring the debt
in some other manner.

MOTION TOR MANDAhUS.
Motion for Mandamus Asks Attorney
General Pollard for Forcible seiz-
ure of West Virginia Property TO
Satisfy Judgment.

Washington, March 6.-Onlque IN
the ~ history Of American Jurlspru-
dence was the proceedings today N
the United States Supreme Court
where Attorney General Pollard sup
ported with argument Virglnla's pc
t;t;on for writ Of mandamus against
the State of West Virginia to COM
pel it to satisfy the judgment Tor
more than S12,OOO,OOO, which was
rendered against it by the Supreme
Court in June, 1915.
This sum was fixed by the court as
West Virginia's share of the ante
bellum debt assumed by the States
before their separation. Failure on
the past of West Virginia to take
any steps looking to the payment OF
the Judgment finally led Virginia to
ask the Supreme Court for writ OF
mandamus, citing the members OF
the West Virginia Legislature to APP
pear tomorrow in Washington and
show cause why such writ should
not be issued against them.
The serving of the papers on the
West Virginia legislators by Sherlfi
Mercer, of Richmond, and five depu-
ties few days ago, was sens;l-
tional chapter in the lon.,. history OF
tho debt controversy. The Virginia
officers arrived in Charleston, W
Va, without notice, and in forty
eight hours served each member in
attendance with the legal summons

Virginia Legislature adopted tart
resolution criticsing Virginia for its

Governor to convene the Legislature

the handing down Of the decision in
the mandamus proceedings, regard,

probation of their duty to defend

MIR. Taft's itinerary will begin at
Richmond, March p.
AS the South and Southwest have
been clamoring for months for visit
from Mr.: Taft, the tour is expected
to- be great popular success.
Mr.. Taft has been working
with great energy all winter to ex-
:plain:&to: the:who1e country the aim of
tbeeLeague to- jEnforceH.Peace, which
is to promote the formation of a
league of nations to insure peace
after the present war shall have been
concluded: Adequate preparation for
national defense is, considered to be
essential ito this program. President
Taft understands this to mean uni
sersal military service. To quote his
own words:
with the greatest reluctance I
have come to the conclusion that we
should have compulsory military
training. We are now looking over
the brink of hostilities with som. of
the belligerents in, this war. Could
I'VE have a better proof of the need
for a body of trained men to defend
the country? That We may avoid war
in the present issue we pray. But if
our rights be invaded again under
the declaration of ruthless warfare at
sea, it is our duty to resist that in
vasion, because it is Of the same ma
ture as if our country were being in
vaded."

Following precedents set by the
students of the institution in the
Revolutionary and Civil Wars, the
students of Washington and Lee Uni
versity will offer the services OF a.
company of student volunteers if the
United States becomes involved ir

foot yesterday. 1t is thought that
nearly all of the $50 men at the uni,
versity will volunteer in the proposed
student corps. Many of the men in
college have had some military train
ing, and it is thought that only a
short time would be required to pre-
pare them for actual service. During!
the Revolutionary War, Liberty Hall
Academy, as Washington and Lee
then was known, suspended schooi
while the students fought for the
colonies. During the Civil War,

German Dogs Detect Food
.HOarderS.

The, prospects of famine in Germany
are so serious that food boarding is
growing among the wealthy to
an extent that has given the govern.
ment no end of trouble. The German
police have exhausted every means OF
detecting the hoarders except one, and
that Is to use highly stsainM police
dogs on their trail.
This is now being sdone. and the
dogs are proving themselves invallr-
able in running down violators of the
food laws. Near Berlin, according to
one story, the dogs recently located
a man who had been piIfering from
vegetable patches OF truck gardeners.
The dogs led the police to the house
where the stolen vegetables were hid.
