The speaker thought 1t inconceiv-
able that any young man who pas
sed through the greatest adventure
the world ever saw would not es~
TEEN II as such and be proud OF
his fine achievements. But, the
time will como when they will fully
realize 1t and they will love to talk
It over just as did our Civil War vet
Grams. We must have patience with
souls, with full realization of what
these men who have seen their
souls, with a full realization OF
what they have done for us. We
can take u great lesson from these
soldiers and what they sand for. and
We must remember those who lie
under the sod in France and Lux
ek. )urg. and those who remain In
hospitals or walk through life

IS TURNED OVER
TO MARTINSBURG
Colonel Walker and Mr.. Dorm Complete Details and
Chamber of Commerce Takes Immediate Steps
To Get It In Shape For Summer.
A permanent athletic field for the city of Mar

A permanent athletic field for the city of Mar

At noon today Colonel S. w Walker and Mr..
NJ. /. Dorm went with members of the Community
Athletic Field Committee of the Chamber of Com
merce, and other interested persons, to the site,
which lies west of Tennessee avenue extended
(Dry Run Pike and went over field which is be-
ieved by all who have seen it to be the most de-
srabe and excellent field procurable
This field lies Immediately back of the De-
Haven house on Tennessee avenue, at the end of
the concrete pavement out that thoroughfare, and
adjons property which will be in the near fu-
ture fitted out amusement park on a large
scale. Colonel Walker and Mr.. Dorm own this

space for cars is provided in triangular park at
the very entrance to the grounds.
The field is for the most part almost in shape

necessary to have scrapers, rollers etc. to put it in
perfect condition, and this will be done at once,

Martnsburg in the course Of few weeks. En-
gineers are the spot this afternoon stalking it

Bringing great patriotic mes

Thursday night at the Episcopal
Parish house, Maj,-Gen. Charles II.
Martin, u. S. A., opened the eyes
OF number OF local business aud

must be kept filled and IL there Is

country. Would We want to haul
down the flag at any Of these garri-
sons? No! Neither would the m.

land. The country Is living in the
greatest crisis OF the world, on the

world from which we never can e9

The speaker then dwelt upon the
