COMMISSION
MEETS TUESDAY NIGHT

Tomorrow at o'clock, in the hall of
the house Of delegates at the state
Canitol, the second quarterly meeting
OF the Virginia war history commte-
sion etl be held The first OF these
meetings was a notable occasion, the
coming meeting should be even more
noteworthy" said Secretary c. r.
Kelley yesterday. Continuing he sAtd:
The plans of the commission HAYS
now assumed more definite shape.
What was snadowy has become clear.
Rough edges have been worn away.
There is virtually complete accord not
only as to the purposes OF the com
mission as a whole but as TO the mctn-
DDS to be used in efrecting those pur-
poses.
sAs consequence this second gath
aering can discuss a formulated pro-
gram. and those attending can get
exact information for their guidance
Members OF the state commission and
the local commissioners who. by their
presence. honored the first convention
took with them inspiration for their
work those who will attend the sec
ond may be assured that they will gain
euaai or greater inspiration and re-
ceive information OF increased value.
Properly to subserve Its purpose.
this quarterly gathering OF the men
and women in whose hands Governor
Davis has placed the responsibility for
Nirginia's records must be well at
tended. IT will not do to have mem
bers of the state commission only or
even principally in the hall. In the
final analysis Virginia's history Will be
full or faulty in exact proportion as
the local commissioners and the con-
fributing members succeed or fail II
they regard their obligation as per-
functory, a mediocre story Will be
complied: II they assume their duties
with patriotic fervor and. sincere en-
thusiasm, a wonderful record will per-
rnanent1y endure, just tribute to Vir-
gfnia and Il continuing memorial to
the men and women who made the tri-
bute possible.
80 this fs addressed particularly to
local commissioners and the contribut-
or mar the meeting. They are particu-
iariy and earnestly invited to attend
There Will be entertaining and instrnc-
tive addresses. but the talks from the
asor the debates. tho interchanges Of
IDEAS are the elements that go to form
the main event of any convention: and
for such one as this those elements
should be particularly valuable.
lit is. therefore. to be hoped, that
all associated with this war history
endeavor viii visit Richmond tomorrow
evening and attend the meeting.

GENERAL STERN On

Adjutant General 10 Lane stern,
who n chairman OF the military com
mittee OF the Virginia war history
which has been charged
by the governor with the work OF
gathering and assembling data reia-
tive to viYginia's participation IN the
world war. had this to say yesterday
the work:
Virginia has. undoubtedly. ample
reason to feel proud OF her war rec
ord; and virginians OF the present
day owe to their posterity the MAX
ing Of m Historically accurate account
OF this era.
without the least intention OF min
imizing the tremendous Importance
OF home effort and the transcendent
need Of preserving home material, It
IN. nevertheless. true that wars are
won BY men in the field 1t may be
that. as chairman OF the section OF the
history which deals directly with mil
itary organizations, take an exag-
gerated view Of this phase OF the
rejection would induce general accord
with this statement.
I'VE have already secured the
names, of all Virginians who volun-
teered in the state troops or who
were indicted into service under the
selective draft law. We can get, by
careful digging. fairly accurate ac-
counts of the parts played by Vir-
gintans in the national army, but to
get these would require the work OF
years and 1t u possible that. not
wi.hstand1ng the most scrupulous
care. our cwn researches and efforts
would leave many noble deeds I'M
recorded.

for this history something more than
a mere statistical record. Our ques-
tionnaires require detailed. accurate
information, obtainabie only from
the soldier. or from the soldiers
family. This Information can be OBJ
tanned now with ease, and 1t can be
obtained only with the greatest dim
Guilty II months are allowed to eiapse
before the effort for collection Is be-
gun.
II cannot. therefore. too strongly
urge upon the local commissions that
they secure these auestionnaires, APP
point their assistants and proceed
actively to work. Invaluable time
Is passing.
Particular interest should attach
tive to army. navy. and marine en-
listments and records. With Its data
already accumulated. the commits
sion may be able to check UP the
work Of local boards so far az Vir-
ginia state volunteers and drafted
men may be concerned. but there II
no check upon the voluntary enlist
ments in the three branches Of the
regular service.
AN appreciation Of this undenia-
BILE fact will serve to lend force tc
this appeal for help. Unless the In
formation requested IL soon obtain.
ed 1t may never be obtained. and
while this particularly bears upor
national enlistments. it Ia measure
bly, true also OF the drafted men and
volunteers many Of whom may moi
return to their homes and. IL the,

NAILS ANOTHER CAhAR D

Washington, July zo.--In answer to
the charge made by Wade H. Cooper
before the senate committee at the
hearing on June 80 that John SHELTON
Williams as director OF finance OF the
United states railroad administration
which the government was required to
pay that road the sum of $4,000 per
year net rental when that road had
sustained a net loss of about $4,000
for the year previous John Shelton
Williams h;&3 submitted to the senate
committee letter from Director-Gen-
eral Hines showing that the railroad
referred to. instead of showing Z net
loss of about $4,000" for 1917. had
actually made in 1917. 3lo5.s43 net.
and that Mr.. Williams had had no
part whatsoever in connection with the
taking over Of that road or the Axing
Of its rental. The letter follows:

Dear Mr.. williams.
II have your letter OF LIST inst. rela-
tive to the testimony given before the
banking and currency committee of
iue SSuaNS by WdQc IA, ICppfE On JUNG
30.
You did not have anything to do
at any time with the negotiation OF
the contract which the director general
made for the Georgia and Florida Rail-
road. or with the fixing of the amount
Of compensation. or any other term of
the contract. or with determining
whether or not the railroad should be
under federal control At all. From the
very outset of the railroad admins
tration you made 1t clear that you
did not wish to have anything to do
with the matter and your wish was
strictly respected.
] notice that Mr. Cooper's testimony
refers to certain deficits with respect
To the Georgia and Florida railroad.
The deficits stated by him are alto
gether different from the hgures with
which the railroad administration had
occasion to deal. Under the federal
control act the railroad administra-
items starting point in dealing with
these questions was the operating In
come or deficit. l. e.. the balance or de-
hcit remaining after deducting from
the operating revenues the operating
expenses. taxes. car hire. joint facility
rents. etc. state in parallel columns
the defcits mentioned by Mr.. Cooper
and the actual figures Of net operating
income or deficit with respect to this
railroad.

EARLY MORNING BLAZE.

The town was aroused last Friday
morning at 4:4O, by the ringing of
irebells. The occasion was the burn
ing of a coal house on the premises
where Mr.. A. j. Williams resides, near
the intersection of Center with Clay
street.
A considerable amount of coal had
been stored in the building some two
weeks prior to the fire and the only
explanation of the burning, is that the
coal heated and spontaneous combus-
tion resulted. The building was to-
tally destroyed, though a considera-
BILE portion of the coal was saved.
Had the fire occurred few days
earlier when everything was so dry.
more serious results would likely
have happened, owing to the
close proximity of other buildings.

considerable number had met, it was
noticed that the lights were not per-
forming well, and Mr.. Whittier went
into the room where the lighting
plant was kept, some ten feet from
the main church building. to look af-
ter the machine, when the explosion
occurred, presumably caused by the
striking of match and the conse-
quent ignition of escaping gas.
Mr.. Whittier was badly burned and
stunned by the explosion, the small
building was totally demolished and
the main church edifice considerably
damaged. Fortunately the explosion
occurred before many had gathered
as 1t would have been certain to re-
suit seriously for quite a number.

AT BELGIAN QUEEN

Glacier Point, Cal, Oct. 15.-Thru
the valley of the Yosemite, where the
sun, moon, and at least one star were
visible at midday, the king and queen
of the Belgians came here today. For
the queen it was one of her special
days in the United States. At the
government ranger station near Jose
mite village, she stroked the ears of
a mountain lion and then, when no
one was looking, stepped inside the
cage to inspect it more closely. The
lion snapped at the fur in the sleeves
of her. coat and her majesty retreated
but not in disorder.
At an Indian camp she chatted with
a squaw but displayed no inclination
to kiss a papoose. A shy Indian lad
of six was asked if he recognized the
queen and he replied
"Sure, saw her photograph in a
San Francisco paper"
The queen rode horseback this aft
ernoon from the village to Glacier
Point as did the king
