Haig Is Transferred
To Home Command
Gets Supreme Post in England,
While Robertson Heads
Army on Rhine

LONDON, March 1S (By The AS
sociated Prcss) Field Marshal Sir
Douglas Haig has been appointed to
succeed General Sir William r. Robert
son as commander in chief Of the
home forces. General Robertson is to
be commander in chief of the army of
the Rhine.
General Robertson resigned the Office
of Chief Of Staff to become Com
mander-in- Chief Of the home forces.
due to the appointment of Field
Marshal Foch as Allied Generalissimo
an appointment of which he disap-
proved. He will now exchange posts
with Field Marshal Haig only to come
under the command of Marshal Feb, as
the Tnter-Allied command is still in
force.
The appointment Of Field Marshal
Haig as Commandersin-Chic Of the

some time. 1t is thought to be due to
desire on Marshal Haig's part to be

The name, rank and address Of

Some of the twenty were members

their soldier escorts were being placed

Edith Mortimer
Freed by Jury
After 10 Hours
Roslyn Society Girl, Held
for Death of Man During
Auto Crash, Is Acquitted

Edith Mortimer, the Roslyn society
girl, was acquitted of manslaughter in
the second degree in the Queens Coun
ty Court, at 1O:30 last night The jury
had been out ten hours and one-half.
Miss Mortimer was arrested after q
crash between her automobile and a
truck driven by Charles Murray had
resulted in the death of Nathan Was
serbergcr.
After the verdict Miss Mortimer
said:
"a great burden has fallen from
my shoulders. | have no comment to
make about the conduct of the case
want to thank the jurors who rem
dered the only decision that was pos
sible under the circums stances. | am
going home now with my father and
mother"
Before leaving the court she stopped
to shake hands with each Of the jurors.
AS soon as Miss Mortimer had been
discharged from custody by Judge
Aspinall, number Of friends, who
had been, in the courtroom all day,
rushed to her side and congratulated
her. Finally the girl and her father
and mother got into their automobile
and started for their home in the
Wheatley Hills.
When court opened in the morning
Judge Aspinall charged the jury,
speaking for moro than an hour. The
jury then went to lunch. At p. m. it
retired to deliberate. In his charge
the justice said:
at does not matter what Charles
Murray did, or who drove the trucA
at the time of the accident which re
suited in the death of Nathan Wassey
berger, if Miss Mortimer operated her
car recklessly, wantonly and without
regard to safety. If, on the other
hand, you find that the defendant
operated her car with reasonable care
and acted as the average person would
you cannot convict her, even though
she accelerated her speed in trying tc
avoid the truck"
While the jury was out Miss Nor
timer sat in the courtroom with hel
friends, Margaret Sargent, Marjorie
Curtis and Mrs. j. L.. Derby. The girl
found the strain too great. Later she
took off her hat and rested her heae
upon the shoulder of Miss Sargent.
The accident which caused the arres
| of Miss Mortimer occurred on Broad
way, the main street of Flushing, l.. J.
on the afternoon of October 19, 1918
The young woman was riding in her ca
with Captain Mercier Pordee of thu
36th French infantry, when heav.
| brewery truck, driven by Charles Muir
ray, approached her. She swerved t.
avoid the truck, and struck group o
! four men. Two of the men, Nathan
Wasserberger and Morris De Mato, wer
killed, and Frank Rich and Abra
| ham Wasserberger were injured. Mis-
Mortimer and Captain Pordee were un
hurt Only Nathan Wasserberger wa
named in the indictment.

A score of army officers and enlisted
men found out last night that the
strict discipline of the firing line in
France extends across the Atlantic and
even into a Broadway theatre.
At the Shubert Theatre in Forty
fourth Street were Major General
O'Ryan and his staff, with Mayor Hylan
and others, who were the guests of
Colonel Rodman Wanamaker.
A number OF the officers in the au-
dience wore Sam Brown belts.
Other officers did not have their in

A few enlisted men-and officers, too

CALOMEL.

.Calomel is a white, semi parent
crystalline mass, inodo1ous, insipid,
and insoluble, known to the chemist
and physician as mild chloride of
mercury, and most dangerous med
icine when employed by those who
are not aware of its powerful effects.
1t acts as an Alternative, purgative
and producing absorption, and is
used in chronic diseases of the liver
and general torpidity of the stomach
and bowels; in dropsey, in combina
ton with other medicines.
The best physicians handle it with
care, and it's use should be avoided
except in extreme cases.
1t is stated that physician in a
Western state some years ago stated
that he could give three we'll per-
sons certain amount of calomel
and that he would have three pa
tients for life. Maybe these pa
tients wouldn't be sick all the time
but their systems would become in
such condition that they would re-
quire medical attention the rest of
their born days"
There are other alternatives and
purgatives preferably vegetable, be-
sides calomel, and just at this crit
ical hour when no one, not even our
best physicians thoroughly under
stands the present l'scourge," it be-
hooves all Of US to use every pre-
caution and due diligence in caring
for the sick.

THE REVENUE ROUTE.

Before many weeks decision

Our desire is that the B. & o. Off
Gals look the situation over thror-
oughly, after which we believe that
they will run this train via Being
ton as business proposition, as
revenue route and as an accommoda-
ton to the most people. We have no
street car lines in this valley, not
very many good country roads in a
southerly direction, so it looks very
clear to us that this route will be
the best for all. We need another
train running in an opposite direction
from the present passenger trains
and unless the officials liven up to
these conditions the demand for an
mother railroad up the valley will be
so great that competitive railroad
will be the result.

ANALYSIS OF WEST VIRGINIA
SOILS
These Conclusions are Summarized
from the Analysis of 24O Samples
of West Virginia Soils.

These Conclusions are Summarized
from the Analysis of 24O Samples
of West Virginia Soils.
1.-The average West Virginia
soil contains only 100 pounds of
PHOSPHORUS per acre to depth of
6 2-3 inches. Fifty-fve percent of
the soils analyzed contain less than
this amount. Numerous experiments
show that the application of acid
phosphate to such soils produces a
marked increase in crop yields.
2.-Over forty percent of these
soils contain less than $4,000 pounds
OF nitrogen per acre to a depth of
2-3 inches. A more frequent use
of legumes in the rotation is needed
on such soils since they store up nit
rogen from the air.
3.-More than eighty percent of
the soils analysed show a need of
lime. Large yields of most crops,
especially red clover and alfalfa,
cannot be profitably obtained on sour
soils. One ton of ground limestone
per acre will correct the acidity of
the average West Virginia SOIL
There is a close relation be-
tween the fertility of most soils and
their content of organic matter. This
constituent is greatly depleted in
many soils of the State. Organic
matter can be supplied by growing
larger crops, and by blowing under
cover crops, crop residues and ma
nure.
5.-More than seventy-five yer cent
of these soils contain more than
10000 pounds of potassium per acre
to pillow depth. If the deficiencies
in organic matter and lime were cor
rected, sufficient available potassium
should be present to prevent its
being limited factor.

If there is anything on earth that
gives. us longing for eternal rest
and deep, damp solitude, it is man
who comes to a town or county,
builds up a big, paying business,
grows rich and then squats down on
the gold like hen on door knob,
ard is too stingy even to let the
gravels grind in his own big giz-
card.
A real genuine 18-karat, stingy
selfish man can't be honest and If
he ever gets to heaven and has wings
he will fold them up and walk for
fear he will ruff1e plume or lose a
tail feather. The kind of men who
build up a town and county and en-
ioy life are the enterprising, ener-
getic, and liberal men, who believe
in living and letting others live; and
who do not, when they get dollar,
squeeze it till the Goodies of Lib
erty feels like she had on a corset.
Such squeezing is what causes hard
times and stops the circulation of the
American Eagle. If it were not for
our broad gauged, enterprising men
it would be impossible to build up a
prosperous city.
