1t is quite possible that the county and all the bank
and community quotas of the Third Liberty loan will
be oversubscrbed but that should not deter men and
who have subscribed from increasing their sub
scrptions they possibly can and those who have not
yet subscribed doing so as heavily as possible 1t
duty each citizen the Republic go the limit in
the financial support Of the war. In spite of the evil
dent intention to speed up the army plans it the hope
of the that the oversubscription on this
bond issue will enable it to go through on the original
program Of not making another loan until late in the
fall If all do what we can there will not be the
slightest trouble about that.

THE COMING PEACE MOVE.

444L NStHlINS LL<tNE WY Z.
~ HERE is nothing new in the thought behind the
meeting Of governors and ex-govenors which is to
be held in Independence hall this month for the pur-
pose Of making plans to resist the peace offensive of Ger
many, which is felt is bound to come and which
it is feared will be more subtle and dangerous this time
than ever before Governor Comwel in his address before
the West Virginia publishers at Parkerburg in February
declared part Of the duty Of the newspapers at the present
time is to prepare public opinion TO stand fast when Ger
many makes the next cunning overture tor peace by
negotiation and many other thoughtful men have expressed
sentiments Of similar nature.
And indeed the time for any peace except peace
which means the wipng out of the German military
and the substitution Of government responsible to the
people for the present irresponsible and insane rule passed
when the first American soldier landed on French soil
This Republic slow 10 get into this war, but once in
It for which both reasonable, sufficient
and righteous we shall not turn back. There may have
been peace party this country year ago, but it does
not exist now except in surreptious and thoroughly dis
loyal way
But the Philadelphia meeting Of the chief executives
of the American states and some of these who formerly
were chief executives in the historic setting of the hall
where the Declaration of independence signed and the
Constitution was framed will serve the useful purpose Of
serving notice the Central powers that what President
Wilson has sand about peace terms expresses The views of
The whole American people. One of the most mischevous
misunderstanding of the German official mind that some
how there is sentiment in this country of considerable pro-
portions that is favorable to the German cause and against
the United States. 1t began to influence German foreign
policy many years ago. 1t was settled conviction at the
time Of Spanish war, and if something does not erad
cate it it will lead to the actual smashing of the Ger
man empire politically. With what sympathy there ever
was here for the German cause wiped out by the forcing
Of this country into war and public alert to examine al
German peace proposals for the tricks they are expected
tocontan the only hope the Central powers have of avoid
ing what the British have called knock out is straight

NINE VENTILATION
SHORT COURSE STUDY
Important Subject Will be
Carefully Covered at
University.

One OF the most important things
in connection with a coal mine is its
proper ventilation. The subject Of
Mine Ventilation will be thoroughly
covered in the Short Course in Coal
Mining to be given at West Virginia
University, Morgantown, from June
II to July 20.
The work in ventilation will be pre-.
faced by study Of the gases which
are met with in coal mines. Each
one of these gases will be generated
before the class so that everyone may
become acquainted with its proper
ties. All tests for Identification will
be made. A thorough study OF safety
lamps will also be made. The Mining
Department of the University has in
its charge the William ClifToTd.James
T. Beard Collection OF Safety Lamps,
the largest and most complete collec-
ton in the United States. Every type
of safety lamp known is included in
this collection. The electric lamps
which are coming to be used so large
ly will also be studied. In the course
in mine ventilation the fundamental
principles will be carefully explained,
and special attention given to the So
luton Of practical problems. The
thermometer. barometer, hygrometer
and other instruments will also be
used by the class. In the course in
Mine Explosions the members of the
class will study the causes OF gas and
coal dust explosions and the methods
to be followed to lessen the possibility
of their occurance. The analysis OF
mine air will be taught in the labora-
tory, and each student will earn how
to determine the percentage OF meth
ane or firedamp, and carbon dioxide
or blackdamp in the air.

SPLENDID PERFORMANCE.

DElWEEN labor shortage and transportation troubles
. it has been long time since any mine in the FAIR
mont region has been able to say that it had broken
production record. That makes the performance of
last week at the New England Fuel and Transportation
company mine at Grant Town all the more notable
1t was splendid performance this hosting of !, zoo
mine cars of coal in one working day and the officers Of
the company charge Grant Town and the men them
selves should all be proud Of it.
And as the railroad conditions improve perhaps other
mines in the region will also be able to do something in
the way of turning out coal that will prove interesting
all depends upon the railroads and the impression prevails
now that they are seriously doing their best 10 get The haul
ing Of coal up the top notch If they do present pay
ought coax most Of the lost mine labor back into the
Uegon.
If that ever happens Farmont and every mining town
in Marion county will have degree Of prosperity they
never knew before in spite of the factahat the government
control Of the selling price will prevent the coal corpora
tons and the operators from making much money.

Spectators Are Driven
From Chicago Market

Chicago. March 1.-THE day of
the plunger is at an end on the
Board of Trade. The action taken
by the Board of Trade officials on
Friday last in forcing one of the
big shorts to even up his position
in the market demonstrate fully
that there will be no more one
sided conditions in any of the pits.
While some of the local specula-
tors have done more or less plung-
ing during the past year. the real
big business was on Eastern ac-
count with some of the larger trad
ers in stocks and those who were
numbered among the cotton specu-
lators taking a hand.
Any further business on their ac-
count will be watched closely and
they will be forced to keep within
the bounds set down by the ofri-
cials of the trade mart.
There will be narrower price
changes than ever before in the
various commodities dealt in on the
Board of Trade from this time
forward.
