BEFORE MONT KENNEL

Yesterdays war dispatches were such as to
send the blood of Allied patriots tingling through
their veins. They told of the absolutely fruit
less efforts of the Germans to get possession of
the hills which threaten the possession of Mont
KENNEL, now in the hands of the Germans. Won
Arnims divisions were thrown against the hills
in waves; and the result,-the end of the day
saw the Allied,-not the German, = lines adj
vanced.
The fighting has not gone far enough to in
dlcate how aggressively the Allied forces are
flghting,-whether their impending counter
drive has really begun. But it has gone far
enough to demonstrate the folly of the German
method of wholesale slaughter Numbers Of
men do not mean victory by any means. The
results yesterday prove conclusively that state
ment.

GOVT IN NEED OF
BLACK WALNUT WOOD

The manufacturers Of aeroplane
blades and gunstocks by firms who
have contracted to furnish the Unit
cd States Government with such ma
tcrials have made It necessary for
the Government to seek far and wide
for their requirements. Recently MIR.
l. D. VanMe're, president of the Ber-
keley' County Farm Bureau, sold
about 10000 board feet of walnut to
the G. w. Hartzell Co, Piqua, Ohio,
for a good figure. Mr.. VanMetre says
that he has had quite a number of
inquiries for walnut since it was
sold The Hartzell Co. has agreed to
furnish the men with which to re-
move the timber, and load it on cars
at Kearneysyi.le. The demand for
black walnut is largely due to the
fact that shells and bullets striking
TIE wood will penetrate or go through
without SCATTERING the eneire piece.
a request has come to the office of
the County Agent recently asking MIN
to ocate all the black walnut avail
able. A good price can be secured
for materials purchased. Mr.. Teal
Wculd appreciate very much any no
ices to the effect that walnut is for
sale.

IAPS QUESTION u. S.
ATTITUDE IN SIBERIA

TOXIC, May Some misgivings
as to the policy of the United States
as affecting Siberia recently have
found expression in the Japanese
House of representatives,. Conviction
that Japan should pay close attention
TO the activity of tF2 United States
an Russian territoi was expressed
by Manitsu Tanaka i'm d speech in the
House recently This activity he
said, might be designed to obtain
rights and interests of various kinds.
Tanaka said he believed that if
America obtained its object a hard
blow would be dealt to the interests
of the Japanese Empire.
He thought that American sym.
pathy for Russia was largely due to
her ambition to implant her influence
there by utilizing the present oppor
tunity for investing her large capital
IN an extensive area of Russi. ter
Tltory, to exploit Russia's vast nat
ural resources to help forward Rus
siais' civilization. To speak frankly
he believed that another object OF
the United States in showing SYM.
pathy to Russia might he to check
the advance of Japanese influence
northwards.
The speaker also referred to A n.
NOR that the United States was try
ing to purchase Kamahatka which ne
said he believed America coveted for
IT'S economic value and perhaps be
cause America had an idea of insti.
tuting gigantic scheme OF commu
nication between the three continents
OF America, Asia and Europe.
There is no confirmation, however.

TO BE OR NOT TO BE.

There is nothing more disconcerting to one s
peace of mind than indecision whether it takes
the form of an utter inability to reach a con-
clusion or whether it be plain procrastination.
Neither the person looking from under such a
condition nor the person looking to such con-
dition is able to act with any degree of safety.
Our understanding of the baseball situation
here leads us to believe that its future for this
year rests in just such condition. A meeting
has been called at Frederick this week which,
we understand and we hope, will determine the
plans for the summer. Nothing is to be gain
ed so far as we can reason it out, by delaying
further No calamity will result whichever
way the decision goes. 1t is just as well, there
fore, to say definitely one way or the other
what is going to be done, and let the fans pre-
pare either for busy and trying season or for
a summer of other diversion.
If Martinsburg is to be in the league, she
ought to be there heart and oul,-and both
those organs should be given breath early in
order that they may grow to respectable di-
p.ensions before the season opens. Players are
TO be secured, the grounds are to be laid out,
plans must be determined, and so forth all are
mere preliminaries to the sensible Inauguration
Of baseball season. There is sentiment here
for a baseball team this year; and if the mag
mates believe that sentiment is honest enough,
win be sufficiently enduring and financially help
TIL to support a team through the season. by
al means a team.
We have spoken consistently and whole
heartedy against the team here this year, and
we have suggested the reasons so often that
they would hardly bear repetition. We would
be the last persons in the world to want the
privilege Of backing a team when there is no
little enthusiasm at this late date as there is
in Martinsburg. Enthusiasm means much: it
and that, in so far ais the local magnates are
concerned, is a necessary adjunct to a season
here. One need have no doubt about one thing:
there will be innumerable demands for money
this summer,-demands for purposes with which
baseball csnnot begin to compare. To meet
these demands will certainly mean that money
customarily spent on something else viii have to
be offered: and that something else" may mean
baseball. If it is taken from baseball,-th guar
antors know the end of the story
And SO it goes as with everything else If
We ere to have team let us get at it imme-
diately. If we are not to have professional
team, let us frankly say so; and if we are to
be out of the league this year, why not do some
thing in the way of making our own baseball
recreation and amusement? Failure to Join the
league does not necessarily mean that we must
abandon baseball entirely

the business men of Central made them
selves committee to see just as many
as possible and induce them to buy

were seld that would not have been
otherwise. While the sons Of America
make red the soil Of France with their
