NOT TO REPUDIATE DEBT
Governor Sends Message to Legis-
!. lature of West Virginia Concern
ing Amount Due Old Dominion.

Charleston, W Va, Jan. 2O.-Gov-
ernor H. D. Hatfield in a special
message presented to the State Leg
islature here yesterday favors the
payment of the Virginia debt by the
State of West Virginia only SO far
as settlement can be made on an
EQUITABLE basis arrived at through
fairness, and recommends that the
Commonwealth present a petition to
the Supreme Court of the United
States asking for a rehearing on
the part of the case affecting the
amount of interest to be paid.
He also expresses the hope that
some suggestion will be forthcoming
at the present session that will re-
suit in the protection of the inter-
ests of the State and bring about the
consideration of further equities
which West Virginia, he says, is en-
titled to receive.
at is no use to warn the people
of West Virginia against any spirit
of opposition or rebellion to con-
stituted authority in this connection" !"
Governor Hatfield says. "This State
is in the Union to stay, and will pa
triotically live up to every obligation
demanded by constitutional authority.
"Had we received statement of
account when the Bennett Commits
sion of 1871 requested it of the State
CT Virginia, there is no question that
this long-drawn out litigation would
have been ct an end many years
ago.
''To decline to pay the debt means
repudiation-and this course | do not
believe West Virginiars are willing
TO adopt. I feel justified that our
citizenry will be willing to assume
any equitable or reasonable amount
that their ability to pay will permit
for the sake of the Constitution under
which We live and for the high re-
gard in which trey ffo'' 1.-the highest
tribunal in the land, regardless of
the unfairness of the embarrassing
position which it has always been
our States misfortune to occupy in
The debt controversy"

CRUISERS IN PUR'
German Raider Captures British
Steamer and Converts it Into .
Commerce Destroyer.

Buenos Aires, Jan. 20.-Accordlns
to newspapers here, two British
cruisers have left the Falkland IS
lands in search of the German raider
and to protect the shipping lane.
The raider is believed here to be
receiving wireless information from
a Brazilian Island.
Washington, Jan. 20.-Dispatcfa2
to the State Department from R'o
,Janeiro said it was stated there th:s
the steamer st. Theodore, capture
bv the German raider in the Soufh
Atlantic. armed with two guns at-
manned by German crew, was crsiS-
ing as an auxiliary to the raider.
The report of the armlng OF the
st. Theodore, British vesseI, was
given out with the explanation tnat
the department had no means OF de-
termining it's accuracy. Officials were
inclined to credit the Story, though
and to look for word that other cap
tured ships would be similarly used
Despite the intense interest WIN
which the raiders work is being 1ol-
lowed here, official dispatches do not
as yet indicate that American rights
have been violated in any way or
that the cruiser has exceeded her
privileges under international law
Moot questions of international
laws are involved, however, in the
conversion of a merchantmen INTO
commerce destroyer on the hlgh
seas. The United States, as well as
Great Britain, has refused to recog-
nize the legality of such conversion.
If American ships are sunk by such
converted vessels or American cargo
on other ships is lost, it is expected
that this country would press claims
against Germany for damages.
The attitude of the South Amerl-
can nations is being watched win
particular interest here, as it is rec
ognized that the raiders exploits
/ iav have e,-7!t stirred public opinion there to
as great a degree as the exploits OF
the U53 stirred the public here.
A practical blockade of many ports
Jump in insurance rates and GRIP
ping of a highly prosperous foreign
trade are the results facing the South
Americans.
Possibility of an attack on the
ports of the British and French West
Indies by German raider has
created alarm among officials and
resida ants of the islands and every
possible pfecaution for defense Is
being taken by the authorities.
London, Jan. 20.-Reports about
the sinking of four steamers by Ger
man submarines were given out yes

GERMANY TO LIMIT IMPORTS

Berlin, Jan 2O.-The Bundesrat
has adopted measure prohibiting
the import of all commodities except
by permission Of the Imperial Com
missioner. The purpose Of the law is
to restrict imports to absolutely in
dispensible commodities in order to
reduce the unfavorable trade balance
and prevent further rise in ex-
change rates.
Heretofore there has been a pro-
hibiton on the importation of varl-
GUS articles classed as luxuries, but
the present law is the first general
prohibition put into effect.

Sacrifice.
By Jane Mclean.

T AM the glory OF the weak.
Mine is the voice that dares to speal
Above the roar OF battle. Pain
Has walked with me and counted gain.
My friendship.
The young have only learned to know
My footsteps passing to and fro.
Or Elimpsed the sorrow that send
Within the wet eyes Of q friend
The mother knows me as q knife.
That rends her heart and tears her life;
The lover knows me as a grief
That's terrible beyond belief
am the light that strong men yield.
Who die upon the battlefield.
The Joy that womans face has worn
Wherever baby lie Is born.
Only the old. who. nearing death.
Have drunk the cup and felt my breath,
Can know the solsce that I bring.
The good that turks beyond the sting
