A man named DeFoss who is described as New
York fiscal expert who has recently been In Europe
was in conference with Senator Harding at Marion
yesterday and afterwards he told the reporters
that this is good time for the United States to
give particular attention to its own Interests and as
little as possible to the concerns Of other nations.
That is fine advice for Fiscal expert" to be hand
ing out A shipping clerk ought to know that II the
United States ever adopts such policy the world
markets will fall into the absolute control Of other
Industrial nations and before very long American
factories will be closing and American workmen
will be in want There never was time when the
people Of this country needed to be more keenly
alive to what is going on in the world.

the effect that the United Mine Workers Of America

LETTERS TO
THE EDITOR
OPPOSES GAS RAISE.

FAIRMoNT, July 26.-[Mitor
The West virslnian. l-For one l
am opposed to the proposed IN.
crease in gas rates. ! believe that
the demand Is not just. Why
should the n. v. T. ask more for
gps than the Hope Natural Gas
company Is charging? At the pres.
emit time we are burning Is or 20
per cent. artificial gas which does
not have half the heating power OF
natural gas. Also our burners are
not adjusted for artificial gas.
Now let's get together and see II
the NJ. v. 7. is entitled TO such an
Increase. II | thought they could
show where for the year 1918 they
did not make 8 per cent. on every
dollar invested In the gas depart
ment ! would not say a word. TIE
M. v. 7. has not done much new
drilling In the last two years, and
i know they haven't raised their
employees salaries to such an ex-
tent that the people OF Marion coun-
ty went wild over II. Nov lets
take notice II when their books are
open for the public what they did
lose for the year 1913.
Also they are asking q service
charge OF Is cents a month. Now;
Is that fair? What are they going

Ing for! Are they going 70 put y.

There would be much more point to the adver-

much more it costs to drill gas well this year than
it did in 1916 II the company also took the public
into its confidence regarding the humber of gas

Soviet Hears Wrangel
Plans to Resume War
Would Use isumania as Base.
According TO Red " arning
Sent to Bucl,ascs.

CONsTANTINOrLE, Nov 27.-Re-
ports apparently have reached Mos
cow that the anti-Rolsheyik leader,
General Wrangel, intended, with Ru-
mana az base, to resume his cam
paign against the Soviet government
after reorganizing the army recently
driven from the Crimea, Judging from
an intercepted wireless message from
Moscow yesterday.
The message, signed by Foreign Sec
retary Tchitcherin and addressed to
General Aversco, the Rumanian Prem
ier at Bucharest, set forth that Gen
eral Wrangel intended using Rumania
as the base of new attack on Rus
sia, and said that the Soviet govern
meTt counted upon the absolute re-
fusal of Rumania to allow such VIOLA
tion of its territory.
II is not believed here that General
WTangel intends TO initiate operations
anywhere in the immediate future.
