ANNOUNCEMENTS OF
DATE OF NEXT DRAFT
is IMMINENT

WASHINGTON March 5.-An
nouncement for the date of the next
draft is imminent. The Provost Mar
shall Generals office has prepared
IAN important reimbursement" which
is believed to deal with the time and
method Of summoning the second
levy. The best opinion is that the
first of the men will move to camp
in April.
Publication of the announcement is
held up for action by Congress on
pending amendments to the selective
service act. The most important of
the proposed changes n the opinion
of Provost Marshall General Crowder
is that which will give him authority
to base state quotas on the total
number of men in class Al instead
of the total registered.

REPORTS OF WAR SAVINGS
SOCIETIES OF WEST VA

Reports of the organization of the
War Savings Societies in West Vir-
GINA were received last week by
State Director Robert L. Archer. All
told reports of the organization of
us societies have been received and
it . certain that there are at least
100 societies now in existence which
have not made reports. Practical
men who in the beginning were in
clined to look askance at the War
Savings Society plan, are coming to
realize that it is one of the most efec-
tive methods of enlisting people in
the army of savers that has been de-
vised. The schools are proving fer
tile fields for the growth of War
movment. Dignifed business organ
izations are forming War Savings
Societies with enthusiasm almost
equal to that manifested by the child
rem.
One Of the interesting features in
connection with the organization of
these societies is the matter of names
selected for them. Here are some of
the societies organized last week.
Willing Workers, Little Helpers"
Thrift Workers" and Franklin"
War Savings Societies Of Belington:
phyllis Wheatley" War Savings So
ciety Of Anderson; 1.-THE Thrifty
Teachers" War Savings Society Of
Hinton; the Vulcan War Savings
Society of Belington; "the Seventh
Grade Economical "Uncle Sans
Seventh Grade; Juvenile Thrift
Club; Republic; young Ameri-
cans; loyal Soldiers; loyal" and
Liberty War Savings Societies Of
Weston; Busy Workers for Uncle
Sam" War Savings Society of Mate
wan, the Help All You Can" War
"the Progress" War Savings Society
Savings Society of Williamson, and
of Huntington.
In many cases the organizations or
institutions give their own names to
these societies.
The movement for the organ
ization Of War Savings Societies is
going forward rapidly and State Di-
rector Archer is confident that the
coming weeks will far exceed the rec
ord set in the week just ended.

WASHINGTON. March

WASHINGTON, March 5.-Presi-
dent Wilson late today notified the
Toxic Government that the United
States would not assent to interven-
ton by Japan in Siberia.
The note was handed to represen-
tative Of the State Department at the
White House for transmission just
before the Cabinet meeting.
1t is understood the language of
the official communication does not
constitute rotest against benevolent
action by Japan, if that is the pur-
pose in sending armed forces into
Russia
The policy of friendship and sup
port for the tricken Russian people
is said to have been emphasized by
the statement that President Wilson
could not approve any action which
might be misunderstood in Russia.

DAVIS AND ELKINs COLLEGE

Davis and Elkins College, at Elkins,
is extending its facilities for in
struction in Stenography beyond
anything heretofore. This is due to
great demand in business offices for
trained office help, and the fact that
Uncle Sam is still in the market for
10000 Stenographers.
The College is preparing to give a
thorough and practical course in the
essentials only. Intense training will
be undertaken beginning April End
and continuing to August /. Work
will be given on six days week and
students expected to be ready for
positions in four months.
The Government has experienced
difficulty in filling its vacancies be-
cause many young people feel that
they are not fitted by education or
experience to accept such work
They should take Uncle Sam at his
word, and judging by his present
need for Office help, the proper thing
for young person to do is to train
as soon as possible and help carry
the tremendous load of office work.
We hope no part of the war pro-
gram will be delayed for lack OF
sufficient help, as has been reported
from some departments.

KILL THE RATS

The State Department of Health de
sires TO cooperate with the Agricul-
ture Department in it's efforts to in
agurate rat killing campaign. Rats
not only destroy an enormous amount
of food products but are the direct
means of spreading certain diseases.
They breed in manure and feed on
garbage as well as on various grains
and other food stuffs. Protect your
garbage from the approach of rats
and scatter manure piles from now on
every ten days and you will not only
materially interfere with rat breeding
but also with the production of flies.
1t is hopeless to expect to extermi-
nate rats, but their number can be
greatly diminished by an active cam
paign Of determination, and this
should be carried on most actively
every Spring. Catch in traps, shoot,
poison, offer = reward to the boys
and something will happen.

LONDON, Mar. 5.-The War office
has made public along dispatch from
Field Marshal Sir Douglas Haig, COW
ering the much-discussed battles on
the Cambria front last November.
1t relates in much detail how the
operations were carried out, tells of
the successes at first achieved, and
alludes, quite as frankly, to the sub
sequent reverses which compelled a
withdrawal from territory captured,
no blame being imputed to any one
for this latter occurrence.
Discussing the reasons for the de-
cision to attack on the Cambria front
Field Marshal Haig says the repeated
assaults in Flanders had caused a
weakening Of the enemy's line else
where, and that of these weakened
sectors that of Cambria was deemed
the most suitable for the surprise OPP
Grafton contemplated.

FOOD DIRECTOR ISSUES
BULLETIN ON CONDITIONS
Says West Virginia Has Observed
Ruling Better than The
Other States

WHEELING, March 4.--Director
of Organization William Hill; Of the
West Virginia federal food admins
tration issued his March bulletin to
the fifty-fiye county administrators
throughout the state. Discussing the
ruling just made that potatoes may
be purchased by householders among
the permitted wheat flour substitutes
in the proportion of four pounds of
potatoes to one pound Of wheat -four
Director Hill said:
West Virginia has observed the
rulings requiring the sale Of substi-
tutes with flour better than the
neighboring states have done. In
spite of transportation difficulties our
state administration has not allowed
any general variation from the rule.
Pennsylvania for atime was on six
to one basis, and Ohio, until the past
week, allowed the sale of four pounds
OF flour with one pound of substitutes.
We have made a few special excep-
tions to the rule in counties where
it was physically impossible to secure
substitutes. These have now all been
instructed to enforce the rule strictly.
by allowing four pounds Of pota-
toes to count as pound Of substi-
tutes there should be no difficulty in
enforcing the substitutes rule every
where. Potatoes are abundant and
one Of the best substitutes for flour.
and it is especially desired to en-
courage their free consumption.
Those who were patriotic and intslli
gent enough to grow potatoes in their
gardens last year now find them
selves freed from the necessity buy
ing substitutes with their flour.
1T will soon be time to plant pota-
toes again Flour will probably be
more difficult to obtain next year than
it is now. The present shortage of
flour and all other foodstuffs should
impress everyone with the necessity
Of planting potatoes.

Mr.. Woodcock, having become
satiated with fast life and desiring
to lead steady rural existence,
marries the daughter of Mrs. Colonel
Carver, an austere widow. He is no
sooner married than he is surprised
to learn that his mother-in-law has
planned a society life in London for
them all, q desire caused by twenty
years Of quiet domestic life forced

cock 10 dragged to London by his
mother-in-law and wife and plunged
in succession of parties, ball, etc.

away from London life and to lead
rural existence. Mrs. Carver be-
coming alarmed and feeling that this
state of things may endanger her
daughters connubial happiness, begs
Woodcock to return to the little
country town of Stow-on-the- Void,
which he is very glad to do, but pre-
tends to do SO very luctantly
