ONE OF WEST VIRGINIA'S GIRL
SOLDIERS.

Recent information from abroad in
dicates that West Virginia is in direct
communication with the West through
one of West Virginia's girl soldiers,
Miss Mary Porterfield, whose home
was in Charles Town before it was
transferred to Bourges, France.
Concerning the town and her work
in it, Miss Porterfield in her letter
says:
at is a mile from the end of the rail
road and desolate spot in many re-
spects. 1t is a town OF munition
workers, almost all of them refugees.
There are no trees, no streams, no
green grass. When the sun shines
there is nothing to break its rays. and
when it rains the mud is ankle deep.
The girls working here have come d.
rectiy from their own devastated fields
and villages, and their hearts are
broken, but not their spirits. They
come TO our foyer which the Y. w. C.
A. has established here, every night.
1t seems to fill a real want in their
lives for clean, healthy cOmpanionship
and forgetfulness of the unbelievable
scenes through which they have been
called upon to live. The foyer is the
one bright, clean, cheerful place for
them where they read, write, play the
graphaphone, sew and iron, just as
American girls love to do, and pour
out to sympathetic listener their tragic
story and the story of their friends
and their families and their homes"
In conclusion Miss Porterfeld says:
"lf we can get real, vital interest in
the lives of these girls, it will do much
to counterfeit the terrible effect of the
scenes they have witnessed, and we
hope that after the war some of them
may be able to carry back to their re-
built villages a little of the hope for
better things that we are striving to
put in their desolate lives and empty
hearts"

Thirty Persons Are lnJured-Fifty
Suspects Held by U. S. Govern
ment Officials.

Chicago, Sept. GA bomb placed in
side the entrance to the federal build
ing and post Office here on Wednes-
day afternoon exploded with terrific
violence, killing four persons and in
juring thirty. Among the dead were
II woman and a sailor.
This toll of death and injury was
the vengeance of the l. w. w. for the
conviction and prison sentences of 81
of their number who conspired to
block the governments war program.
The trial was held in the federal
building.
Definite blame for the outrage was
placed upon the organization by Phil
| lip j. Barry. acting head of the de-
partment of justice in Chicago. Hun
dreds of federal operatives and Ameri-
can Protective league members were
sent out to round up every known l.
w. w. Fifty suspects were brought
in, among them men who were said to
have made threats against the govern
ment after the trial.
The force of the explosion was ter.
rife and many of those hurt were out
side or near the building at the time.
Two horses standing near the entrance
to the building were killed. Windows
In nearby buildings were shattered.
William ID. Haywood, leader of the
/. w. w. and under q 20-year sentence
was in the building awaiting action
on his appeal for bond at the time

UNITED STATES RECOGNIZES THE
cZEcHO-SLOVAKS.
Valiant Foes of the Huns Accorded the
Status of an Independent
Nation.

Washington, Sept. 5.-The United
States has recognized the CZecho-Slo-
wax peoples as co-belligerent nation in
the war against Germany and Austria
Hungary and their national council as
q de facto government clothed with
due authority to direct the political
and military affairs of their people.
Prof. T. G. Masaryk, president of
the CzechO-Slovak national council and
commander in chief of the Czecho-
Slovak armies fighting in Russia,
France aud Italy, met Secretary Ian
sing o. Tuesday at the state depart
ment and was formally notified of
President Wilson's action.
Great Britain, France and Italy al
ready have recognized the Czecho-Slo-
vaks. Japan has given implied recog-
milton by participation in the interna-
tional Siberian expedition, which is
aiding the Czecho- SlOvaks and loyal
Russians in re-establishing the east
ern front.
Tremendous political significance is
attached in diplomatic quarters to the
action of the United States. 1t means
that America and her allies will go
into the peace conference recognizing
as an independent nation and ally a
large section of the present Austro-
Hungarian empire.

RAIL WORKERS IRE RAISED
Track Laborers, Watchmen, Clerks,
Station Agents and Others Draw
ing Small Pay Benefited.

Washington, Sept. 5-Nearly 1,0OO,-
600 men, or half the railroad en-
ployees of the United States, share
in additional wage increases approved
on Tuesday by Director General Nc
Adoo. Track laborers, watchmen, 9TH
er maintenance of way employees,
clerks, station agents and other
classes of employees drawing relative
ly low pay are benefited. Most of the
increases range from 10 70 80 per cent
above present wages. Garnishment of
railroad employees pay was forbid
den by Director General, McAdoo as
a means of ending much legal work.
At the same time it was made plain
that employees who do rot pay their
bills will be dismissed. This, it is be-
lieved, will prove sufficient protection
for merchants holding bills against
railroad men.

MAKING OF Beer

Wilson Issues Order to Conserve
Grain, Fuel and

SENATE VOTES THE DRY BILL
Attempt to Delay Nstion-Wide Prohi-
bition Until 1920 Fai.s--Manufac-
turers Of Soft Drinks to
Get Less Fuel.

Washington, Sept. 9.-ManufaetGro
OF leer in the United States will be
prohibited after December next as
war measure.
The food administration announced
on Friday that the manufacture of
beer and other malt liquors Will be
prohibited after December /, as war
measure.
This announcement said the deci-
sion had been reached at conferences
between President Wilson and repre-
scntatives of the fuel, food and rail-
road administrations and the war In
dustries board. Immediate suspension
OF the purchase of grains for mailing
purposes was ordered.
The S12.0OOO0O emergency agricul-
turai appropriation bill with its rider
for nationa, prohibition from next July
I until the American armies are de-
mobiIized after the end Of the war was
passed by the senate without a roll
call.
Before final passage Of the measure
the senate voted. 40 to G. to retain the
prohibition rider. A final effort to
postpone the effective date of the dry
Legislation TO December 80, 1919, was
defented.
The bill now goes to the house, and.
hecnuse OF the many amendments In
serted by the senate, 1t undoubtedly
win be sent 20 conference. Prohibition
leaders. however, expect the house to
agree TO the dry rider, so that there
win be no possibility Of changes being
Hnade BY the senate and house mana
gers.
Senators voting against retaining the
dry legislation In the bill were Brande-
ree Of Connecticut, Gerry Of Rhode
Island. Phelan Of California, Pome-
rene Of Ohio. Ransdell Of Louisiana
and Underwood of Alabama. After
passage of the bill the senate con-
ferees-all regarded friendly to the
erislati0n--were appointed: Gore OF
oklahoma. Smith of South Carolina
smith OF Georgia, Kenyon of Iowa and
Frnnce OF Maryland. How long the
lan would be In conference was re
rnrded doubtful.
President Wilson's death decree for
beer was based upon the need OF con
serving grain for stock feed, the sup
pIy of which has been diminished by
drought. OF conserving fuel. of lessen
ing the transportation burden of the
railways and of dlverting the labor Of
nonessential industry to uses inc,den

MOST OF Them ARE DEAD
Statement Says Many Authors of Afro
cious Crimes Have Expiated Speed
lily - Some Find Refuge on
Shore-A Few Named.

London, Sept. 7.-Although the Brit
ish government does not intend to
adopt the practice of giving proof of
official utterances made by its minis
ters, it has been thought desirable to
print in newspapers the names of the
commanding officers Of $50 German
submarines which have been disposed
Of
This is in order to Substantiate the
statement of Premier Lloyd George in
the house of commons that "at least
$50 of these ocean pests have been
destroyed"
Most of Them Are Dead.
A majority of the $50 officers men
toned are dead. Some are prisoners
of war, and few are interned In neu-
tral countries where they took refuge.
Among the officers named are:
Kapitan Lieutenant Schweiger, who,
while in command of the U-20, torpe-
doed the Lusitania in May, 1915. The

fukr, who sank the steamer Belgian
Prince July 81, 1917, and drowned 40

submarine, the U-44, was sunk with all
hands oil iUhk Lot
kapitan Lieutenant Rudolph Schnei-
den, who tOrpedoed the steamer Arabic
in August, 1915.
The statement says it is significant
that the authors of particularly afro
ciOus crimes have expiated them speed
lily after their commission. 1t says
the names of such men are carefully
noted by the British admiralty and
special endeavors are made to bring
their active careers swiftly to an end.
Find Refuge on Shore.
Several commanders, it is added
have escaped retribution by finding
refuge in shore appointment
Prominent among those named as
having escaped retribution, but whom
the British navy has on it's list, are
