In Berkeley county it seems to be the other way. 1t
looks if the local campaign would suffer from the
lack of leadership as did the War Savings Stamp cam
paign.
1t is impossible to get word of information from
Chairman Silver of the Liberty Loan Campaign because
he is out in the country attending to his private business
and there is representative in the War Activities of

That this drive to come at this period - just
when the orchardists busy known early in the

loss by fire of unknown origin about
midnight As he carries one of the

NOW IN SESSION
MartInsburg EntertaIns Fifty
First Annual Meeting.
NOTED PHYSICIANS
ARE IN ATTENDANCE
Major j. D. Mclean, Vice Pres.
Volunteer Medical Service
Corps Will Speak Tonight On
War Work of Physicians.

With the opening at Hotel Berke'
Icy at $50 O'Clock Monday night of
the Council and House of Delegates
OF the West Virginia State Medical
Association. as a prelude to the gen
eral assemblage, which was called to
order at $50 O'Clock this morning at
the Episcopal Parish House, West
King street. that society convened
in it's fifty-first annual session. Pres
ident s r. Holroyd, Of Athens. w.
Va, presided at both sessions.
Last night one of the salient fea-
lures was the comprehensive report
made by Secretary j. Howard Ander-
son, of Marytown, w. Va His report
which was accepted and will be
acted upon by the council during tho
present session, showed that the in
roads of war and kindred exigencies
bad not impaired the growth of the
organization. which has been note
worthy in the past few years In 1914
there were S54 members. This in
creased to 902 in 1915, 500 in 1916
9f6 in 1917 and with marked in
crease to 1876 in 1918. Already two
members of the State association
have made the supreme sacrifice,
DR.. H. w Daniel, of Elhins, being
killed by sharpshooter while in
active duty in France, and Dr. A. L.
Grub, of Berkeley Springs, who
died en- route to the battle front.
Over $50 members have applied for
commissions, 81 per cent of the as
sociations membership, and a ma
jority of these are now in active ser
vice.
DR.. J. r. Bloss. of Huntington. W.
Va, editor of The Journal. also made
an interesting report. Despite the
1 fact that many subscribers had been
called into service and the cost of
! issuing The Journal had almost treb-
led. the publication could report only
deficit of $100. and this was easily
cared for out of the surplus of $500
from the preceding year. His report
was also accepted and will be acted
upon by the council later.
The session this morning was
opened by the president and Rev. DR..
Henry p Hamill. of Trinity Metho-
dist Episcopal Church South, made
the opening prayer The address of
welcome was delivered by DR. H. G.
Tonkin. mayor of Martinsburg and
= most eloquent response was made
by DR. A. s. Bosworth, of Elkins,
w. Va The doctor, who is an old
time newspaper man, gave his medi-
cal brethren an example of old-time
oratory and was poundly applauded
The association is the guest of the
Eastern Panhandle Medical Society
of which DR.. A. b. Eagle, of this city
is president. 1t had been the inten
ton to hold it at Harpers Ferry, but
war time help troubles at the hotels
compelled the good people of that
section to cancel arrar gements and
Ms~tinsburg was selected in III
: stead. The officers of the State so
ciety are proud of the way in which
the tri.county society's officers ant
committees transferred arrange
, ments to this city and are warm II
their congratulations.
