While we don't always agree with
him politically, yet believing in Civ
ing credit where credit is due), we
take our hats off to Service Director
William F. Mason. Never did the city
receive such cleaning up as she is get
ting this week Even the outlying
districts are receiving attention and
their rubbish removed. This is a new
stunt and much appreciated by those
living outside the high rent districts
But it is being said that not only in
this instance is Mr. Mason on the job
but that he is there at all times, being
at his desk long before his subordi-
mates dream of getting around. And
it is plain that he is getting results
from his suboldinates. He doesn't
ask (because he does it himself) that

commended. Keep up the good work

Warrington Burton, Hundred, Cam
eron and Wheeling, are meeting
with the State Road Commission ut
Charleston today in regard to tho
proposed state road from Wheeling
to Elkins via the cities above men
tiorcd.
It was learned here recently that
Notwithstanding the promise made
by the commission that the Wheel
Ing tO Elkins road was decided
upon definitely and that 1t was to
be one of the first roada built by
the state, there was some doubt as
TO whether the road would be built
as residents OF Mnundsvillc. and
Parkershurg were endeavoring to
have the road swing around that
way from Wheeling and enter
CIarksburg from that direction.
The delegations from the above
named cities are anxious that the
road come through this way and
that was the reason thew had an
appointment with the commission
at 9:30 O'Clock today. The Fair
mont representatives were: C. D.
Conaway, Of the Chamber OF Com
merce; L. c. CordrGy, of the Auto.
motive club. and Robert Morgan, Of

It has been found necessary TO
make some provision for the care Of

which heretofore have had to be
marked and put into large closets.
With the lockers, each patient can
have one alone, which ts really the

The hospital Is at present in fino

times. Miss Ieathcum Is not only
a splendid nurse. but knows how

as superintendent she has been

down a awcoping naval reduction

fogs such negotiations.
with the Respective heads Of the
American. British and japanese
delegations working in direct per-
sonnl conference almost daily on
tho naval reduction plan there are
indications that an agreement in
all but details is near at hand, In
the same way tho readiness Of all
tho nations to commit themselves
to general principles relating to
the Far East and the outspoken
objection OF Japan TO discussing
details OF that situation seemed TO
have oulckened q conviction that
adoption Of a set of principles like
the four agreed upon yesterday
will be the outcome OF the Ear
Eastern and OF tae negotiations.
In addition the whole question
of land armament appears. to,haTR
been pretty well settled By the,
frank presentation Of the e9ae3 %
Franco delivered yestsrday Py
Premier BRAND. The French
statesman made 1t at once Rppa s.
eut that dofinite read d1hst1sehts of
land forces will be impossible y
the view OF France because Of
existing conditions she believes
threatens her and tae Whole
world.
There remains the Important
question Of Notifications on which
there has been no impression but
which may be to the fore when
the deIineation of principle relat-
ing to the Far East have gone as
far as seems possible.
Consideration Of the Far East
:ern problems was renewed today
by the delegates Of the nine ma
tions as whole with the hope
that further general principles
could bo incorporated In the
,agrcement reached yesterday. All
inc present indications point to an
understanding rather than treaty
as the form to be taken by the
final Far Eastern agreement.
Naval experts OF the tree naval
powers still we're. reviewing today
the highly technical questiS1s that
have risen In connection with the
American proposals for immediate
reduction OF the 1ieet and . 10
year naval building holiday. The
British and Japanese officers h1Ye
found some details Of the plan
which will require treatment
before there Is final acceptance.
Fer ono thing the British have
pointed out the effect on the fleets
the American program would have
II the full measure Of Secretary
Hughes plan were carried into
execution.
There Is some reason to believe
that both the British and Japan
ese experts think the U. s. would
come to the end Of the holiday
period IN far better shape than
either OF the other powers. That
appears to be the basis Of the dis
cussIon now proreding.
