TRUST WILSON.

Maurice Damour, of, the French
Chamber OF Deputies, through the
Paris Journal, cautions the people
against pessimism regarding Presi-
dent Wilson.
Some think he is encountering in
his own country formidable opposi-
tion backed by American national
sentiment" he said.
Nothing could be further from
the truth.
THE fact is the American sena-
tors hostile to the league of nations
which according to them, would not
be in accord with the Monroe Doc
trine, represent small minority Of
their own party.
Between Wilson's word and the
speeches OF men whose action is due
TO- political passion and misplaced
hesitation is impossible

convinced will turn the tide of public
sentiment in its favor. He will rely
upon this to break down the opposi-
tion OF those Senator'S who have stood
uncompromisingly in the way of this
settlement Of the war.
Assurances to this effect were Civ

advisers OF the President. They are
willing for it to become known that
he has no notion whatever of letting
this treaty. Nor the league, which the
treaty will contain, 60 by default.
He will come home prepared to bat

his battling before the people of the
country. There is where he has al

gress. He did it when he was dead
locked with Congress on canal tolls,
on conscrfption, on national defense
and on the proposed embargo OF arms
and ammunition.

definitely known whether any goods
from the store were taken.
1t is thought by the authorities
that the job was the work of experts
as 1t was a complete one. The safe
door was sealed with soap to hold a
charge of glycerine which was used
to crack 1t. A Mrs. Miller, living
nearby, heard the explosions, there

rangements have been completed for
the construction of nine and one half
miles of hard-surfaced road across

an engineering force has been put to

cnergetically pushed SO that bids can
be advertised for and contracts let
by April 18th. 1t Is the plan of the
county officials to have the entire
concrete base of the nine and one-half
miles in place by fall, so that IL may
be used throughout the winter and
the surface placed next year.
1t Is also reported by Commission
er Scanlon that the Cabell county

In kanawha county, below St. AL
