ANNOUNCEMENT.

J. MAURY DOVE COMPANY, INC de-
sires to make it generally known to its
patrons that its present inability to deliver
in full, and as promptly as in the past
all orders rendered it by its patrons, is due
entirely to existing labor conditions, which
are aggravated by shortage of coal, caused
by the countrywide shortage of railroad cars
in which to transport same from the mines
In an effort to relieve these conditions, the
Company has granted IS per cent wage in
crease to its employees, but still finds it i'm
possible to secure sufficient labor to operate
its plants at capacity.
The Company hopes that its patrons will
bear with it in this exigency, in the full
realization that the Company is now, and
will continue to use every effort and em-
ploy every means within its power to relieve
this situation.

LORD NORTRCL|FFE LOOKS FOR LONG
DURATION OF The WORLD HOS1|LIlIES

Lord Northcliffe asserted that
American newspapers are presenting
the news Of the war in an erroneous
manner. He said that the fact that
something was wrong with Germany
was being featured when as mat
ter of fact the only thing wrong
with the nation was the kaiser.
The greatest need Of the war at
the present time, Lord Northcliffe
said. was an increase in the tonnage
of cargo transports. He pointed out
the difficulty under which the Unit
ed states was laboring with the men
on French soil and the great dis
tance over which all supplies must De
sent. He declared that too little at
tention was being given to this by
the American public in their en-
thusiasm over the possibilities OF
aerial warfare and their support OF
the Liberty Loan, both of which were
admirable and essential.
He praised the United States Tor
the speedy adoption of the draft, call
ing that one of the most democratic
moves of the war

Discountenancing recent reports Of
internal descriptions in Germany as
signs of the weakening Of that ma
ton in the war, Lord Northcliffe, dis
tinguished British editor and pub
Usher and head of the British mis-
sion. told 200 editors of seven mid
die western states at a luncheon
given here in his honor that the war
has just begun,
"It is impossible that this should
be a short war" he declared. There
are no facts which will form the
basis for such an opinion The Ger
man reichstag, unlike our congress
and parliament, has little or no pow
er save that of the passage OF a few
appropriations. While it is possibly
true that one-third of the German
population has become sickened OF
war, the ruling two-thirds are firm
in their conviction that the war is
being prosecuted successfully to
victorious elimination for their gov
