If Germany has 100000 perfectly
trained and splendidly equipped" soldiers
on the western front, as Congressman
Miller of Minnesota states on his return
from Europe, it is wonder that the
British, French, Italians, Americans, Bel
gisns, Portuguese and all Others have not
been blown to smithereens long before
this. We strongly suspect there is some
camoufage about that statement of Con
gresham Miller.

LOCAL LIBERTY LOAN CAMPAIGN
PROGRESSING AT SPLENDID RATE
Meetings OF Committees Enthusiastic And
Members Are Getting Down To Work
With A Will--Organization Com
mittee To Meet This Evening

The Liberty Loan committee fol-
Berkeley county met again last night
in the office OF the Consolidated
War Activities These committee
meetings have been most enthusiasts
tic and the attention given to all de
tails makes it seem certain that
this county's allotment of Liberty
Bonds will be quickly subscribed
Berkeley county's quota is 1929
zoe.
In the past Liberty Loans as well
as in the other war activities of the
Government, the people living out in
the county have not held up their
end. This may have been due to the
fact that they did not thoroughly un.
derstand the great and pressing
need Of intellectually supporting
every demand made upon them by
their government. Today no man or
woman can truthfully say that he or
she does not understand the aDso.
lutte necessity Of standing solidly
hack of the government if the great
war for liberty and the future peace
OF the world Is to be won.
II will be won but the cost in life
depends directly upon the measure
Of support of the people. There is no
one who cannot buy Liberty Bonds
because the plan offered to them by
the Martinsburg banks OF buying
bonds and paying for them on the
easy monthly payment plan Is such
that II brings the cost Of a bond
within reach Of every one The man
who can not go to the front and will
not buy Liberty Bonds has no place

PEACHES RUINED,
APPLES NOT HURT,
SAY The GROWERS
This Is Consensus sof Opinion
Expressed Here Today.
ORCHARDS EXAMINED
THROUGHOUT SECTION
Growers Declare They Have
Found Out Enough to Pref
ty Nearly Determine the
Situation In This Fruit Belt.

Further investigation by the jour
nal among the fruit growers Of this
county today revealed the fact that
the orchardists, as a whole, are in
clined to take an optimistic view of
the present storm situation, so far
as the prospective apple crop Is con.
cerned. but widespread belief that
the peach crop--or the larger part
Of it, at least-has been ruined.
These opinions are based upon
two things-a partial investigation Of
the orchards by the growers, and
opinions based upon similar condt
tions in the past.
1 Some of the growers and espec-
tally those whose interests are large,
and who would naturally he most
anxious TO know the truth-haye al
ready gone into their orchards and
looked the situation over partially.
These men declare that they have
investigated far enough to lead them
to believe that the damage done to
the apple orchards is not very mater
ial and may turn out to be negligi-
BILE Others declare that they have
seen the orchards OF this belt wea-
Their worse storms than the one Of
this week, and that, basing their opin-
ion upon these facts, they do not an
ticipate any material damage,
Those interested in the peach or
chards are pessimistic over the out
look, and say they believe their
prospects have been practically wip-
ed out This belief is based upon
the fact that the peach buds were
far advanced, and that three days OF
alternate rain, snow, sleet and wind
was sufficiently long to destroy the
bloom This does not mean, they
say. that all the peaches were de-
stroyed, but that enough We're killed
TO make it certain that there will be
few peaches and little money real
zed from the orchards in this coun.
~ this year.
Apple growers state that big
3ercentage of the buds or embryo
aic apples that were on their trees
last week could be killed. and yet
leave enough to make bumper
crop If the storm only resulted in
merely thinning out" the apples il
viii prove to have been benefit,
instead of disadvantage to the crop,
they say.
