A MILLION HAVE LEFT FRANCE.

The one millionth man of the Am
erican Expeditionary force will en-
bark for home next Monday week,
Secretary Of War Baker said on his
arrival at New York from France
aboard the transport George Wash
ington. The homeward movement of
troops, Secretary Baker said, sis pro-
crossing in a most satisfactory man
Her' and he added that the 100000
3 month mark would be reached in
June.
Secretary Baker left here April 7th
accompanied by Warren Pershing,
General Pershing's only son. He Wis
tied various points in France where
American troops are quartered, going
also 20 the German line where he re-
viewed the third army. Speaking
briefly CT his visit Secretary Baker
said:
THE American army abroad Is in
splendid condition. The American
army which I inspected on the Ger
man frontier is beyond doubt the best
equipped army in the world. 1t is
everything that an army should be in
all its departments.
THE men are anxious to get home
and we are moving them as rapidly
as possible. expect to see the 3OO,-
600 a month mark reached in June
and the one millionth man will en-
bark for home next week"
Secretary Baker said he visited
but one embarkation camp-that at
Brest.
Its conditions is simply ideal" he
asserted, "and you can get the same
expression from any doughboy on
this ship. l did not see any Of the
others but am informed that the same

NUMBER ~
PEACE TREATY.

The peace treaty was presented
to the minor powers at a secret plen-
airy session Tuesday afternoon, which
adjourned at $50 O'Clock. The draft
OF the treaty Is considered now as
having passed the stage before be-
lore being presented to the Germans.
Marshal Foch, in speech at the
plenary session, declared that the Sc
curity given France was fnadeqnate
from military standpoint, and said
1t was his personal conviction that
the treaty should not be signed.
The marshal emphasized the neces-
sity of France holding the bridge
head along the Rhine and said that
occupation limited to Is years was
not sufficient.
Tie Chinese delegatas presented
brief, formal and dignlfied protest,
concerning the disposition of Kfao-
Chau. The Portuguese delegates ex-
pressed dissatisfaction regarding the
treatment accorded Portugal.
The protestations made by the var
lous delegations are not regarded as
serious, as no definite reservations
were made by the protestants.
Italy was represented at the session
by Signur Creispi.
The Italian spokesman said he de-
sired to make reservations concern
ing any provisions in the treaty not
acceptable to Italy -.
. Lu Chang Hshiang, the, Chinese
foreign minister, asked for reconsfd-
Grafton OF the decision regarding
Shantung and Kiao-Chau.
The Chinese foreign minister said
that in the opinion of the chinese del
egation the decision had been made
without regard for justice or for the
protection of the territorial integrity
OF China. He said hat if reconsider
alton was impossible, he desired to
make reservation on behalf of China.
The clause regarding responsible
ties, which was acted on at the pre-
vious session Of the plenary confer
ence, it is understood, has been in
corporated in the final draft Of the
treaty. This provides for the trial
OF the former German emperor for
a supreme otfense against internati-
onal morality and the sancity of
Il leaties,' by tribunal composed of
representatives OF the the United
States, Great Britain, France, Italy
and Japan.

BOMB PLOT.

A widespread bomb plot, involv-
ing attempts on lives of a number of
prominent men Of the United States,
was brought to light on the 3Oth, by
the Postoftice department, 1t is said.
Seventeen packages held up for lack
Of sufficient postage in the New York
city postoffice were found to contain

The disclosures were made during an
investigation of packages contain
ing bombs sent from New York to
former Senator Thomas w. Harwfck,
OF Georgia, and to Mayor Ole Hanson
OF Seattle. All OF these bore wrap
pers of Gimbel Brothers New York

sEDIII0N!sI m IoILs OF LAW.

David Mcdaniel, OF Sweet Chalybe-
ate, Va, notorious pro-German, who
has been active and noisy to incite
hostility to the constituted authori-
ties of he United States since the
war began and lent aid and comfort
to the enemy, has gone to Harrison
purg, Va. this week to answer to the
action Of the Federal Grand Jury.
Mcdaniel is charged with numerous
violations Of the Espionage act, It
Is alleged. among other things, that
ne has said that "he hoped none Of
the American soldiers who mad gone
to France would ever get back alive, I"
that he would kill President Wilson
In preference to killing the Kaiser,
etc, ect. Mcdaniel went about carry
ing gun and threatened to kill any
body that interfered with him. Sew
eral times officers attempted his CAP
ture but he managed to escape from
them into the mountains Of Allegheny
county. A month or two ago when
the last raid was made, his son,
Henry Mcdaniel, heavily armed him
self and threatened to kill the Off
GERS who were searching for his faith
er, but was himself captured (with-
out firing shot) and, as we are in
formed, taken, to Covington Jail.
Later his father. yielding to the in
evitable, gave himself up and was ad-
mitted to bail.
Federal Court convened at Harri-
sonburg this week and in compliance
with his bail bond Mcdaniel has gone
thither to put himself in the custody
OF the Court. A petition for leniency
to him has been circulated in the
Sweet Chalybeate and Sweet Springs
section. From all accounts this man
has been fragrant offender and those
who sign sucn a petition array them
selves with the enemies of their
country and Of the families who have
given soldiers to Americas service.

DIAGNOSIS HOSPITAL OPENED,

More than thousand physicians
from all over the country will attend
the opening Of the New York dag
nostic hospital, at 1875 West Seventy
second street, n. Y, during the mid
die Of next month. The institution,
which was made possible through the
raising Of funds by the physicians
will be the first Of it's
kind in this country.
The clinics will be for diagnosis
only and will accommodate about
500 patients daily. The idea Of form
ing an institution for collaborativs
diagnosis was conceived about 10
years ago. Since then the physicians
have worked steadily on the propo-
sition and the opening of their ideas.
These physicians see that the first
thing to be done in the effort to cure
a maiady is to ascertain what the
malady Is. 1t is folly, almost a crime.
to pour medicine into patient un-
til 1t is known what the malady is,
hence the establishment Of this dag
@ostic hospital. A physician with a
proper regard for his professional
reputation will not prescribe for a
patient until he has, by careful dag
nosis, ascertained what his trouble is.

AyIAT0RS KILLED IN TRAINING.

One hundred and six men were
Killed at the three big government
aviation fields near Fort Worth, Tex
as. between November Is, 1917, and
the recent close of aerial activities,
according to official figures just made
public.
In the same period the three fields
now being closed out turned out l.
ATS finished aviators, most of whom
were sent to the western front One
Thousand commissioned aviators were
also sent to Fort Worth from other
schools to finish their gunnery course
at Taliaferro Field.
The statistics made public show
that during the training period the
actual flying hours at Curruthers
Field totalled $4,000, at Barron Field
26.60S and at Taliaferro Field 32,-
48S.
The tail spin and the nose drive
were responsible for large majority
OF the accidents, according to Off
GERS. Is the entire training period
rot single American cadet was kill
ed on the first solo fight. This is
attributed to the thorough instruc-
tlon in ground work. Three British
fiers were killed on solo flights.
Captain Vernon Castle, the Ameri-
can dance interpreter, who had fac
ed death numerous times over the
German lines, at British aviator,
swerved his machine sharply to avoid
hitting another aviator there. He
lacked height for the maneuver,
crashed and was killed.
The young son of General Peyton
C. March, chief Of stat, was killed at
the gunnery field while engaged in
combat practice at a height of 1000
feet. The wings Of his machine be-
came entangled with those Of his op-
ponent's plane.
Captain Robert Isett, of Provi-
dence. post adjutant at Barron Field,
fell from the greatest height, 5000
feet. Two men fell from heir planes
at great heights because Of failure
to strap themselves in.

COUNTIES OVER The TOP.

With surplus Of $4,000 Pendle-
ton county has oversubscribed it's al
!otment TO the Victory Loan, accord
ing to word received by former Gov
ernor w. A. MacCorkle, chairman of
he West Virginia Liberty Loan Com
mittee, last Saturday from County
Chairman, B. H. Hiner. There will
be no let-up in the efforts Of solici-
tors in. that county, the chairman
said, until the campaign is over.
Pendleton is the sixth county in the
state to secure its quota. Marion was
first and the other counties over the
top are Monongalia, Peasants.
Hampshire and Hardy. The situation
In kanawha county, is is said, Is still
giving workers some concern. Lack
of interest is marked and unless
greater efforts are made this week
than have been heretofore, the out
look for obtaining dts quota is not
promising, officials say.
Preparations were made in Kama
wha the first Of the week for an
intensive campaign by the Four Min
ute speakers.
The proposition OF the government
In this drive is by far the best it has
ever made and it is difficult to ac-
count for the tagging observed in so
many counties.

IA chapters dealing with great va

seventh will concern the responsible
tiles OF the formr Emperor and other
Germans for the war. The eighth

Marcel Hutin, of the Echo de Paris,

control Of the mines in the Saar VAL
ley and a guarantee for their ex-
ploitation. He says that the prosi-
dent Of the administrative council
will be a Frenchman, and probably
will have executive powers.

GENERALS ALL ESCAPE,

1t strikes the old soldiers OF the
Civil War. who were accustomed to
see their generals, even those of high
rank, fall in battle, that so few gen.
eral officers were killed in the recent
world war, the greatest Of all time.
We read OF few IL any generals killed
in battle in any of the Allied arm
les and America, so far we have
learned, did not lose one. 1t may
be that they acted under orders not
to expose themselves.
