Official Report.

New York. April l5.--American air
planes. type for type. are equal to the
best European products" while Amer
lean fighting machines are much safer
than the European, according to an Of
fetal report made public here tonight
of an investigation by the advisory
committee on acronautiCs, which is CO.
operating with Rear Admiral Nathan
iel r. Usher in the organization of the
naval reserve forces of the third naval
district.
The investigation forms the ground
work of rlan providing for aerial de-
| lenses, the details of which, for mill
tary reasons. cannot be divulged. 1t is
understood, however, that aircraft will
play an important part in the work of
! protecting shipping and hunting en-

I'm" committees investigation
/ shows the report says, that all the
| reports regarding the alleged ineffi-
cI"ncE of American airplanes and mo-
tors are based on the fact that close
to two years ago when it was almost

for crank shafts "A shipment of Ameri-
can motors proved to be unsatisfactory
and the motors had to be reconstruct =

also shows that the allies also had she
same trouble at the time with British
and French products. These facts were
brought out by the recent investiga
ton of the royal flying corps of Great

our investigation shows that the
statements made recently to the eff.
feet that American fighting airplanes
do not have the speed and climbing
ability of foreign fighting machines, i.

In responSe TO appeals from our national
and State authorities, the people are asked
10 join this week in the campaign TO raise
in the United States the sum OF $35, 000,-
600 for Y. M. c. A. work in all the can
tonmentS, camps and other assembling
places OF our soldiers here and abroad.
OF this amount West Virginia has pledged
itself 10 raise $500, 1000, and Jefferson
county's Ppportionment is fixed at s. 400.
The splendid and satisfactory character
Of the work performed by the Y. M. c.
A. need not be enlarged upon, for il is
we'll known. The young soldiers them
selves say that the Y. M. c. A. head
quarters in the great army camps are the
best things in camp life-a real godSend
TO the boys so far from home. In the
campaign few months ago, Jefferson
county responded nobly. Let us raise
our full share OF the needed funds for the
present call, with the assurance that il will
reach the spot and do the good intended.
We are informed that Jefferson county
will be organized so as to begin the CAM
paign the ensuing week. A State official
will visit Charles Town on Saturday,
when plans will be made TO raise our ap
portlonment.

County Court Proceedings.

When the Jefferson County Court con-
vened for the regular November term
there was very limited business to claim
the attention OF the commissioners, all
OF whom were present. Aside from a
few generations and the approval OF
routine orders for the payment OF current
bills, there was little done.
The court ordered that Douglas Har
and Benz. Paine, who have been inmates
of the County Infirmary for some time, be
dismissed
On account OF old age and physica
disabilities. James H. Milton was re-
lieved Of the payment OF road capitatton
tax in Charles Town district. The Keller
farm, near Engle's. having been assessed
TO the Washington Building Lime Com
pany, il was ordered that it be assessed
to the Standard Lime ard Stone Company.
Another order was entered requiring the
sheriff TO make out and collect tax bill
against ]. H. Willingham on personal
property valued at $500 in Kabletown
district, and against c. H. Licklider on
personal property of the value OF $l.22O
in Harper's Ferry district.
Exonerations were allowed Jacob r.
Coffman on State capitatlon tax; Lyman
Wiener on $4,000 personal property /;
Misses Bette and Minnie Weirick on
$500; Joseph T. Fritts on $3.50; and Miss
Belle Snyder on $3.50.
TIE Northern Virginia Power Company
will be required TO move one OF its poles
standing at curve in the Keys Ferry
road. the pole being so located as to
obstruct travel and drainage at that point.
A somewhat protracted contest over
the taxation OF the Charles Town Hospital
property was brought TO an end by the
courts decision TO exempt the institution
from taxation for the year 1916, as well
as tor the current year and in the future.
A number OF witnesses were examined
as 10 the character OF the hospital, all
testifying that il was an institution OF
charity, and il was upon this ground that
exemption was sought.-Adpocate.

THE greatest victory won for equal sui
frage in years was that in New York last
week, when by majority OF over lOO,-
600 the voters decided that women should
slSo have the right TO vote. This is a
great break in the wall OF eastern conSer-
vjtiSm, and the progressive ideas OF the
West on this subject will doubtless soon
BE- ielt even more effectively in this part
& i've country.
The result OF the action OF New York
Iast week will be the addition OF millions
oi women voters, and their influence can
not but be OF vast good in the question
able political conditions in that State.
There are 43 Representatives in Congress
from New York, and if they shall heed
The sentiment OF their constituents and
support a suffrage amendment to the
rational Constitution equal suffrage may
be very near at hand.

fact.

THE final figures apparently show that
the prohibition amendment voted on in
Ohio last week was lost by close vote,
majority OF l ,723 being recorded against
it. A significant fact in connection with
the election is that though the first returns
showed considerable dry majority, a
mistake" OF 10000 votes was later dis
covered in Cincinnati, and being cor
recied" by the vets changed the result.
1t takes strong imagination to believe
that mistake favoring the temperance
cause could ever have been made in
booze soaked Cincinnati.
The temperance people will take up
the fight again and 90 right after the
saloons. In another year or two they'll
get what is coming to them.

AGENTS OF the secret service branch OF
the government, as result OF a four
weeks investigation, have unearthed in
New York City hidden supplies OF food
stuifs and war materials OF the value OF
: ore than S75,000000. These goods are
held by food spectators and by agents
for the German goverrment-the former
seeking TO hold them back until still high
er prices shall be available and the latter
awaiting opportunity TO get them TO Ger
many through neutral countries. The
foodStuffs alone are valued at SAC, 600, 900,
and include provisions TO feed an army
OF 4 ,000, 900 men for two weeks.
The agents found secretly stored in
warehouses between 100000 and r.
600 600 pounds of sugar, sufficient TO sup
ply the whole OF New York City for two
weeks; between 100000 and 5000, 900
pounds OF butter; 100000 dozens Of
eggs; 81 100000 worth of poultry, in
Guiding chickens and turkeys; 81 ,43S,OOO
worth ofrice; dried and sailed fish valued
at $5S0,000. Canned goods worth $l0,-
100000 were found, and enough beans
to feed The whole OF General Pershing's
army Tor four weeks. Wheat, oats and
corn to the value OF $l2,74S.955 had been
stored in the warehouses, 10 await ship
ment TO other countries outside OF the
Entente Allies. Many millions OF dollars
worth OF miscellaneous supplies were
unearthed, some of them being articles
greatly needed in this country.
Practically all OF these goods are subject
to seizure by our government under
existing law, and it is likely that steps
will be taken which will result in the sale
and distribution OF such as are needed
for use here or by our allies abroad.
With these huge supplies held back by
food profiteers and enemy agents, 1t IS
no wonder that there is scarcity on the
market. OF course our conservative
government will not take radical action,
but il does seem 10 us that something
should be Gone 10 teach our enemies and
our greedy spectators such a lesson as
would serve once and for ALL

It's truly astonishing-almo
