IN NEED OF HELP.

In another column we print an appeal from the
Social Service Union, asking for financial help
from the community.
The organization has always been well taken
care of by the people here, and entirely because
the kind Of work which it does, and the manner
in which it does it, has commended it to the peo-
pie. At this particular time the Union is sorey
in need of funds because of the extraordinary
demands being made upon it for help The Coun-
ty Courts relief organization is now about to
close its Office, and the bulk of this work viii
fall back upon the Social Service Union, in addi-
tiop to the big work which it is already doing.
The recent epidemic has left the community with
host Of needy and the Social Service Union pro-
poses to shoulder the responsibility of looking
after them. It is to assist in this work that the
public is asked to contribute nova work which
is not only necessary from the standpoints of
morality and humanity, but, if one wants to look
at it from more practical standpoint, is neces-
sary as community social insurance.
The funds are to be spent for relief only: for
food, for fuel, for clothing,-for any commodity
which must be had. There is no waste in the So
cial Service work: the most careful sort of inves-
tigation precedes the expenditure of the funds,
Investigation by experienced and most capable
community workers.
We commend this cause to the people, believing
that the mere suggestion will be sufficient to re-
plenish the treasury

AN EDITORIAL.
(By MELVILLE DAWSON POsTl

On any day the barbarian assault on the world
may go to pieces. And immediately the whole
business of the United States will be the upheav-
al of gigantic reconstruction. War production
will cease Thousands of acres of machinery will
be scrapiron. Millions of people will be released
from employment Old conditions viii be gone,
new ones will be undetermined And the capital
and the labor of the country, alike, will be I'M
steady and bewildered West Virginia more than
any other state will be shaken. And more than
any other state her hope OF emerging from this
chaos, with her varied business sound and pros
porous will depend or the man who stands for
her in the United States Senate. If that man is
mere receptive person whose interest in affairs
is taken by inheritance and whose leadership in
his party follows the autoeracy of birth, we must
receive what the chance of undirected affairs
may assign to us. But if that representative is a
man who by his individual efforts, his sound
sense, his grasp of conditions, his will to make
West Virginia factor in the business affairs of
the world has equipped him for national leader
ship-then, for u.s. there will be no industrial de-
bacle. And whatever may happen to other states,
no strange, disturbing revolutionary thing will
happen to us.

HONOR? THERE Is NONE IN ALL GER
MANY!

1T (the German government trusts that
the President of the United States will ap-
prove of no demand which will be irrecon-
cilable with the honor Of the German people
and with opening way to a peace of JUS
tice. '-From Germany's last reply to Will
son.
There is no honor in Germany
To the men and women who have followed the
whole course of this world war during period
of four years and three months there is nothing
so obvious as this: THERE is NO HONOR IN
ALL GERMANY.
Justice? May Heaven have mercy on their
souls! There is no justice on the face of the
earth that can meet the situation as respects
Germany--as respect the government that start
ed this unexampled catastrophe or the people who
supported that government in its every single
act of dishonor and devilshness.
Who can measure the justice that shall be met
ed out for the killing of five millions of the world
best young manhood, for the death by starvation
of twice that shumber of men, women and chill
dren?
HONOR! JUSTICE! By what miracle &c
these words not strike dead the one who utters
them, this nation that is thief, murderer, rapst
arsonist, ali in one.

THUS EVER THE COWARD.

Belgium and Serbia lost everything, but had
the CUTS to stick. France was bled white but
grlmly held on. Italy was all but smashed, but
refused to surrender, and, of course, England
never dreamed Of anything but final victory -even
in the darkest days 1t remained for Germany
to throw up her hands and yell for mercy when
things began to go badly. Thus ever with cow

"The question Of the President is
therefore answered in CLEAR, unequvocal
manner by the statement that the offer of
peace and an armistice has come from a gov
eminent that is free from any arbitrary and
irresponsible influence."-From Germany's
last reply to Wilson
Clear as mud And also a lel
There is no such government in Germany. The
reply says that there is bill before the Reich
stag to altar the constitution and this clear
statement is based on that
The Reichstag has no authority to change ths
constitution of the German nation. It could pass
a million OF such bills and the old constitution
would go on operating as before. If the German
constitution is to be changed SO that the power
to make war shall be taken from kaisers-crazy
or otherwise-the federal council must approve
such change. And the king OF Prussa-N-illian

DOCTORS Almost before we were in
the war Red Cross nurses. doctors
and ambulance drivers in great num-
bers were sent over. Our early loss
es were of these.
But that was not enough. 1t
was suggested further that mechan-
les were needed. Special studies
were made. We found that rail
had been kept in excellent condi-
ticn. far better than we had
thought"
Maintaining Own Army
But despite the conditions of
Frances railroads, he said, it. was
found necessary to provide trans
portation facilities for the American
Army in France because of the great
demands upon those already there.
I'm other words" he said,
France was n white sheet of pa
per. AS far as we were concerned
we not only had to write an army
on that sheet, but we also had to
provide maintenance.
we have been building faciIi-
ties and agencies in France, Just as
much as in this country, of the same
character. We have built docks,
terminals, sent over dock machin-
cry, cranes, even piles, warehouses

shortage of vast supplies needed be-

sfons of troops now in cantonments
and camps in the United States and
ready to move, Secretary Baker said
and of the next increments to be
drawn and trained this spring under
the selectiye service law. Secretary
Baker said.
Elemental equipment of the men
from the United States is assured
and the artillery necessary to their
support will come from the Brit
ish and French governments, which
have such an excess of ordnance
that they have ON their own initia-
tive offered to supply the guns and
save ships which would be used for
their transport.
Chairman Chamberlain asked the
Secretary why he could not take the
public into his confidence in the mat
ter
Secretary Baker replied he hesi-
tated to do that. He referred to
statement by General Won Hinden-
burg to the effect America was ad-
Vertising her intentions.
But isn't it a fact that Germany
has known all about this?" persisted
Senator Chamberlain.
Germany Mystifed
NO" replied Secretary Baker.
THE German government is still
mystified regarding the number of
men now in France. They know
what is doing at the front, but Ger
many is still mystified regarding the
number of men now in France"
His statement, Mr.. Baker added,
was made on the basis of the relia-
BILE confidential reports received by
the War Department.
The Secretary went on to explain
that all warning countries try to
keep such things entirely conflden-
tial..
why, don't believe I even could
get the number of men Great Britain
has now in France or at home, or
even could get the information from
France" he said. THAT may be
unnecessary, but it is precaution
that is followed by all military
men,"
If the whole Regular Army had
been sent into battle at once, Sec
retary Baker said, like Englands, it
would Ahave been destroyed.
In eloquent words, Secretary Ba-
ker, described how France welcom-
ed the first American soldiers, peas

their coats.
Going in Unbroken Stream
"Of course, they welcomed the
British, but then their need was not
so great, nor were the ties to Eng
