To Hold Conference.
A conference will be held between
the sheriff, Judge John w. Fish
burn, and Prosecutor Clarence E.
Gentry on the arrival of the party
with the prisoners at Charlottes-
vile.
1t is the belief OF the officers that
the formal trial of Morris will not
begin until the first Monday in july.
So intense is the feeling between the
various factions of Morriscs and
Shiffiets in Greene county that the
sheriff holds it would be impossible
TO draw jury at this time without
considerable trouble
IL was stated today by the officers
that Charles A. Hammer. an attorney
or Harrisonburg, Va, had been en-
gagged by friends Of Morris to defend
him at the trial. The same counsel
VIII represent Herman Shiff1ett. who
is already in the Greene county jail
charged with being an accomplice of
Morris and an accessory before the
fact.
No motion has yet been made. Sher-
an Malone said, for a change OF
venue for Norris and Shifhett.
Home Of ORIeIaIH
Should there be a change Of venue
1t is PROBABLE that the trial will be in
Charlottesville, since that is the
home of the judge and the prosecut-
ing attorney in the case. The case
would consume several DAYS, and IA
cliities at the little county. seat of
Stanardsyille are not considered ade-
quate Tor such a hearing.
Another argument in favor Of Char
lottesville is that there would be Ijt-
tie Likelihood Of an effort on the part
of Norris followers from the BhIe
Ridge staging a fight for his liberia
ton.
Sheriff Malone stated that Morris
who had chosen for himself the name
OF Jesse James the Second, and who
boosted he would never be taken
alive had given him no trouble since
they left Elkins.

Is to be held.
The'Central Victory Loan Committee
To-Day refused to believe that Wash

missing from the winners in the biC
push for funds. That the people will
meet their responsibility in this loan
as they have in previous loans is the
belief of members Of the committee.
They are confident that the people
will not leave the matter in doubt un-
til the last minute, but with one great
pull put the city well within the win

The announcement yesterday that
prizes are to be awarded for the best

Washington City Of Women.

Washington has always been a city
of women. The census Of 1910 showed
the percentage Of women in Washing.
ton to be larger than in any other city.
There were then 91.3 men to very 100
women-according to the census,
which never explained what any 100
women would be doing with the one.
third man that was part Of their quota.
If things keep on the way they are
going, Washington will soon have two
women to each man. Cabinet officers
already have announced that in the
matter Of employment, all other things
being equal, women should have tho
precedence over men. The new move,
ment is born Of prospective war neces.
sity; the men will be needed on the
firing line and in mobilizing the ma,
tion's industries.

We left Newport News, Va, on
the 2Sth of August, got to New York
harbor on the goth. We stayed
there till the Sd Of September, and
we landed at Liverpool, England, on
the 10th OF September. We had to
keep on our life preseryers ell the
way across. We had in convoy thir-
teen ships at the start and when we
got across we had twenty-one. We
got lost once from our convoy, and.
believe me, got to feeling q little
funny about it, too. We went to
Southampton and then over to rest
camp and had dinner. And we hikcd
It back to the transport and across
the channel. The next morning we
linked ii out TO q rest camp again and
stayed there un:il in the Afternoon
at 1 O'Clock. Then we hi':ch il
back to the transport anG got ON
i'OX cars, and stayed on them three
days and two nights and got of at
AnGcrlcmc. We stayed there a
month, and then we got on the box
cars again for two days and nights.
Our next stop was at BclicOurt. up
next to the firing line, and they turn
cd us back and we came to a place
called ClermOnt, and when we stop
ped there, just as we were getting
ready to get off, the Germans began
to drop bombs on us. That was on
the 2Gth Of October; and. believe me,
sweet kid, ! got little nervous.
