Interesting Letter From William Selvey.

Mrs. Susie ]. Selvey has received
letter from her son, William H. Selvey,
former popular Shepherd College
student, who is now with the 840th Aero
Repair Squadron. He has recently ar
rived in England and he writes from
London as follows:
am we'll, comfortable, working and
feeling fine over it. We eat and sleep
we'll, in buildings, so | have no COM
plants, and you should have no cause
TO worry as to my welfare. This morn
ing | attended church in one of these
little English towns, and tonight think
that | shall attend service at the 7. M.
c. A. | also attended church on the
boat the SUNDAY we were at sea. My
other letter was written on the boat,
though | could not say so at the time.
The voyage was very interesting one
to me, perhaps because OF its neWneSS,
although in general things were not a
great deal different from what | had
pictured. 1t never occurred to me,
however, that the waves really came
over the decks of the ocean liners, but
saw the deck of our boat washed by
them several times. On one occasion
when | was sitting quietly on deck |
experienced sudden surprise by hav-
ing what seemed to be half the sea pour
down upon me. | Immediately went
for a change of clothing, because ] was
thoroughly soaked. Incidents such as
this were little exciting, but not the
only excitement We had.
Though candy is scarce and most food
is rather dear, especially that con-
tanning sugar. We can buy here in the
canteen most everything We want to
eat. We get enough army food, but
like little extra sometimes. There are
both Army and Y. M. 9. A. canteens.
We can get sweet gingerbread buns for
penny each, good cocoa and milk for
2 pence cup, also ales, about like our
soda pops, for 2 pence. We can get
only pence worth of candy at time.
We have great time and much fun
getting used to these English coins and
learning the values and names thereof.
But it really did not take us long to
master the problem. A half penny
English is 1 cent American; penny
English is 2 cents American; 6 pence is
IL cents; shilling is "a cents; l
flourine is 4S cents; half crown is 90
cents-and so on. If we Americans
don't watch out how we spend these
English pence We soon find ourselves
at big expense.
People in America don't know how
much the Y. M. c. A. is doing over here
for the soldiers. Without it We would
be homeless. Last week listened to
two very good musical entertainments
given by some of the citizens. The Y
M. c. A. structure was three large tents
joined by passways. In one is piano
and assembly hall, in another books
paper and materials and tables for writ
ing, and in the third tent canteen.
Give my best regards to all the
neighbors and friends. Much love tc
all.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is catarrh. Catarrh being greatly
influenced by constitutional conditions
requires constitutional treatment.
Halls Catarrh Medicine is taken inter-
nally and acts thru the Blood on the
Mucous Surfaces of the System thereby
destroying the foundation of the disease
giving the patient strength by building
up the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors have
so much faith in the curative powers of
Halls Catarrh Medicine that they offer
One Hundred Dollars for any case that
it fails to cure. Send for list of testi-
monials.

so highly regarded in this county that
he needs no recommendation at our

be candidate entirely acceptable TO the
people. This county is entitled to an
other term in the Senate, and we hope
that il may 90 to Mr.. Burr without OPP

DURING the past week German SUBJ
marines have attacked ships off the
coasts of the United States, and have
sunk six or eight schooners and at
least one passenger vessel. Fortunate
ly the loss of life has been small, as the
crews and passengers were able to get
off the vessels before they sank. This
is bringing the war close to our own
shores, and the evident intention Of the
Germans is to try to create panic in
this country by their frightfulneSs,
This, of course, will not be the case, for
such atrocities only make our people
more determined than ever to with
stand with all our power the fendish
enemy that menaces us and all the
world.
Our Navy is busy, and sooner or
later we will catch the pirates. In the
meantime, our men are going right on
across the seas by the thousand every
day, safely conveyed and protected by
the best forces of our Navy, and there
will be no back down on our part.

WE publish this week the announce
ment of Hon. George M. Bowers, who
will be a candidate for denomination
as the Republican candidate for Con-
press from this district He will have
opposition for this honor in his own
party. but he will quite likely be re-
nominated without very much trouble,
for his record is good and he is one Of
the most popular men in his district.
A good many persons, Republicans as
we'll as Democrats, would be quite well
satisfied if he should be returned to
Congress without the bother of cam
paign of any sort.

AT meeting of the State Republican
Committee in Parkersburg last week a
communication was received from the
Democratic State Committee in regard
to the proposition that partisan contests
for Congress be eliminated if possible
this year. The committee discussed
the matter andfnally decided that it had
no right to make any such arrangement,
but that it was matter resting entirely
with the voters.
This probably disposeS of the ques-
ton finally. But even though the poll
ticians can agree on no way to get to-
gether, there is no reason why the peo-
pie generally should not make up their
minds to eschew partisan fights. five
are to have a campaign, let us have ii
altogether fair and decent.

FROM the figures tabulated, the
mercy fund of the Red Cross will run to
Sl7O,OOO,OOO, or about S70,000,0OO more
than was asked for. Every State in the
Union exceeded its apportionment.
West Virginia, which was assessed
100000, has raised about 100000.
Jefferson county, so far as we know,
will have the distinction of leading all
the other counties in quadrupling its ap-
portionment. Instead of stopping with
our assessment of $500, We give
S11,5OO. Fayette county was assessed
$4,000 and gave $4,000; Monongalia
was asked for $4,000 and gave S40,-
900; Creenbrier county, assessed $1,000,
sends Sl5,OO0-and so on.
God bless the big-hearted people of
the United States!

THE unspeakable Huns have added
another list of horrors to the misdeeds
that have put them outside the pale Of
civilized nations by bombarding num-
Der of hospitals in France the past week
and killing more wounded soldiers and
the nurses who have attended them.
There is no longer any doubt that the
bombing of hospitals is now settled
policy of the barbarous brutes of whom
the Kaiser is the head devil. Never in
any previous war has there been such
wanton cruelty and so degraded an
enemy, and all humanity demands thai,
Germany be conquered and made to
answer for her horrible crimes.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
Deliberate Insult to the Members of
Congress Who Have Been His
Staunchest Supporters.

The message to the country last
week by the President-supposedly of
the whole nation-was a deliberate
insult to the most loyal support any
American president has ever receiv-
ed. In fact there is no instance in
the previous history of the country
where the national administration has
received a hearty and practically I'M
animous support from the opposition
party; certainly there is no other in
this or any other country where that
support has been more hearty than
the support given by his own party.
In the face of these facts, and with
the knowledge that several of his most
important measures were carried by
the republicans over the opposition of
the leaders of his own party, Mr.. Will
son addresses letter to the public
demanding that they give him a demo.
cratic majority in both branches of
congress to successfully carry on the
war. When he penned that message
Mr.. Wilson knew the war was already
won largely by the magnificent army
which the republican members of the
house gave him over the opposition
of Speaker Clark and Democratic
Leader Kitchen. He knew that he
wanted that majority to enable him to
retain control of the railroads and
other public utilities after the war is
over. He knew he wanted it to con-
tinue to hold down the price of the
northern farmers wheat, while the
southern farmer charged what he
pleased for his cotton. He knew that
he wanted to keep down an exposure
of the extravaganza and rottenness at
Washington until after the next presi-
dental election. And he knew that
he wanted to hold this vast military
machine intact until he could re-elect
himself or elect his son-in-law to the
presidency. To enable him to do these
things he has not hesitated to i'm
pugn the patriotism and loyalty
of every republican member of con-
gress but every republican voter as
well by the charge that a republican
majority in either branch of congress
would hamper the winning of the war.
The war has been won by the magnifi-
cent work of the boys lover there"
who are not playing politics but fight
ing nobly; and the administration has
refusd them the right to even vote
when their states were willing to pay
all the expenses. Evidently they don't
think the boys approve of all that is
being done.
