SAYS DAVIS SHOWS
LACK OF SYMPATHY
WINCHESTER STAR ACCUSES
VIRGINIA GOVERNOR or GRAVE
CRIME.

In a front page editorial in last
evenings edition of the Winchester
Star, Governor Davis, of Virginia, is
accused Of showing lack of sympathy
with the efforts of this country in
maintaining the war
The Star says as follows:
"The passive attitude Of Governor
Davis towards the prosecution of the
war against Germany has given great
distress to all patriotic virginians.
Not only has the Governor RETAINED
from taking the lead in patriotic ac-
tivities Of the state and nation, in
keeping with the glorious traditions Of
Virginia ard furnishing the inaDira-
ton and encouragement by his ex-
ample which is expected from the chief
executive, but il at least two instances
he has concretely demonstrated lis
lack of sympathy with the war efforts
Of the United States"
The governor, according to tho Star,
last fall defeated a resolution intro
duced at meeting of the Virginia
Democratic Committee which would
have endorsed the record OF President
Wilson and approving his declaration
Of war. The paper also charges that
the governor gave public notice last
winter that he would veto any appro
priation for the State Council of De-
Tense, even after a personal appeal
had been made to him by Secretary
Baker, who stated that he considered
the establishment of this council vital
10 the nationwide scheme Of war pre-
parations.
The Star also added to its editorial
that it appreciates the gravity Of the
statements it had made regarding the
governor of Virginia while the nation
is at war.

NEUTRALITY IMPOSSIBLE.

Our neighbor, the Winchester STAR yesterday
afternoon preferred charges before the tribunal
Of public opinion against Governor Davis, OF
Virginia, on the ground that he had failed to
support with any enthusiasm Americas war eff
forts. The Star insists that it is conscious Of
the gravitv Of the charges which it makes; and
we may q ssume, therefore, that its pronounce
ments have been carefully weighed.
It viii be forever impossible to remove entire
" the stain which the charges make on the pub
lie and private character of Governor Davis.
Even though there be not enough evidence to
convince the public that he has been systemat-
icaly opposed to the Government 5 program, the
accusation thus publicly made will never be for
gotten. Once uttered, it is beyond recall.
Serious the charge is beyond measure. Amer
ica's national ambition for the past year has been
the prosecution of the war, and to the success
Of that her citizens have given ever increasingly
CT their money and their time, and without limit
have given their moral support. The charges
against Governor Davis involve more than the
simple claim that he, as an individual, has not
been vigorously back of the war; they make him
stand out as an opponent of the peoples wishes
in this national concern.
Even lukewarmness in war matters is not to
tolerated during these times. Americas ev.
cry interest is being made to contribute towards
the general backing for the war effort. The man
be his office private or public, who does not fee
compelled to do everything in his power to as
sist in the prosecution Of the war lacks some es
sential of American spirit. In such condition
he is quite properly placed IN the position where
he il criticized and suspected. 1t is in these straits
that Governor Davis finds himself today.
On the other hand it must give West Virginian
thrill Of satisfaction 10 observe the enthusiasm
with which their Governor has entered into tn
war work. He has given generously Of his all il
order to make the State a vigorous American
unit. He has left no stone unturned in his effor
to make the State fulfill its war obligation il
every respect. His record in these respects j
unimpeachable.

THE PRESIDENTS ANSWER.

The world will wait with more than the usual
expectancy the answer which President Wilson
will make to the latest German peace note. AT
the time this was written no hint as to its prob
able contents had been made public; and the
German reply was such, it is generally admitted
as to leave the door open for further discussion
if the United States cared to prolong it.
The longer one considers the situation, the
clearer becomes the fact that the problem has
two distinct phases, one of which may possibly
be cleared up at this time in so far as method is
concerned, and the other of which still presents
tremendous difficulties. The matter of the arnlis-
Jice when it is settled will naturally be left to
The Allied military advisers. The President may
merely reiterate that the proper procedure for
securing an arnlstice is to make the request d.
rectly to the opposing commander and wait his
terms. The President has already made it plain
that such is the procedure, and thA Germans,
with customary German evasiyeness, apparently
had agreed to such an outline.
But the question as to peace is an entirely dill
ferent matter, and will be settled, not upon the
battlefield, but by the heads of the nations in
voved. Ard before the question can even be
considered certain conditions precedent to peace
discussion must be established by the Germans.
The first is proof of governmental reform in Ger
many which viii convince the Allies that there is
a responsible governmental organization with
which the Allies may confidently DEAL 10 us this
means the dseestablishment of the Hohenzollern
line in Germany and with it the unseating of the
military party in Germany. But the Allies will
require more than promise of reform; they
will want the proof that the changes have been
effected, and they will be the judges as t. the
completeness of the changes.
We must believe that the authorities in Wash
ington are in touch with German information
centers of which the public, quite naturally,
knows nothing; and we must believe that the
President will satisfy himself entirely upon these
points before making any answer. They consti-
tute the fundamental issue; and the entire frame
work Of peace will totter unless this foundation
stone is well laid America has been fooled often
enough by putting her trust in irresponsible Ger
man heads She will not be duped again.

Our patrons may not notice that the stop where they have been in the habit of boarding the car has been removed or changed and for two or three days you will have to help them in readjusting themselves to the new situation. You may find passengers standing at the old stop to board the car. Do not run by them; stop and pick them up, and conductors explain to them that the stop has been moved, telling them where it has been moved to; and to those who ask you to let them off at their old stop, ex- plain to them that 1t has been moved and they should go on to the new stop.
 The public will cooperate with you heartily in this. because it is in the interests of all concerned. It is Y a matter of readjustment of old condi- tons to conform with the new require mentS confronting us. After three or l four days when the public has had an opportunity of becoming acquaint- 1 ed with the location of the new stops a notice will be issued from this office | instructing you to stop only at the new locations; during the interim dc not take any arbitrary position with your passengers. t16lp them 10 become Iacquatnted with the new order oi

Sig j. s. NAVY GUNS
BLAST HUNS ASHORE
Terrible 16-InCh Rifle Manned
by U. S. Sailors in Action.

Washington, Oct. 26.-Announce-
ment from France that American six.
teen-inch naval guns, manned by naval
gun crews, have come into action
with the American army at the front,
disclosed that through efforts OF the
ordnance officials of the navy, Gen
eral Pershing's forces are now 0quip-
ped with the most powerful and hard
est hitting weapons yet used in the
present war, ashore or afloat, SO far
as is known.
The siXteen-inch rifles are similar
to those designed for use aboard the
newest American dreadnoughts. They
are fifty calibre, more than sixty-six
feet in length, and weigh approximate
ly 100 tons without their carriage.
Without question they are the long
est range guns in use except the Ger
man super-guns, which are regarded
merely as a mechanical freak.
The projectile weighs close to a
ton. Its bursting charge of the most
powerful explosive known is measur-
ed in hundreds of pounds against the
few pounds in the German super-gun
shell The destructive effect is enor-
nous.
Plans for using big rifles for the
army are understood to have been
worked out entirely by naval officers.
The theory their great weight would
not permit their use except in fixed
concrete and steel emplacements, fur
nished the chief obstacle to be over
rome.
