 London, February 22.-The allied control commissions in Germany win prohibit shipments of war materials from Germany to Arsen- tina or any other neutral country, if such countries persist in trying to buy munitions. This announce ment was made in British official circles here today.
 It was stated thnt despite the reply of Argentina to the allied reminder that the Versailles trenty prohibits Germany from manufnc- turing or exporting war materials, no drastic measures were needed now for enforcing the prohibition

of shipments to Argentina, but it was said continued efforts to ob- tain the same would bring the allied mmissions to full exertion of their duties.
 While it was appreciated that Argentina. like other neutrnis, would appreciate the advantage of bargnins in war supplies, it was declared this was impossible in view of the treaty. Efforts to ob- thin supplies would only em- bnrrass the allies and Germany, and particularly the latter, which had enacted measures to forestall such shipments as were reported to be preparing for South America, It wns said.

TROOPERS ENFORCING
ROAD SAFETY LAWS
FEW OF THOSE ARRESTED FAIL
TO BE CONVICTED.

An instance of the efficiency of West
Virginia state troopers is seen in a
record of lot convictions out of a
total Of la arrests made during the
month of September, according to
Colonel Jackson Arnold, superinten-
dent Of the department OF public
safety. The record was made by troop
ers on duty at Huntington and con-
tituted wholesome campaign against
yiolators of traffic laws in that city.
Every one of the arrests was for driy-
ing without licenses or for failure to
have the proper lights.
The Huntington detachment which
made the arrests comprises Sergeant
Nv. H. Pittsburg and Troopers Earl
Bray, z. w. Taylor, w. G. Brown and
Elmer Stepp.
Seven of the ia arrests ended in
appeals to higher courts. Fines nettad
from the LOT offenders who pleaded
guilty totaled s1,5S3.6O, including costs
OF $3.50 assessed against each one

START SCHOOL
FOR TRAINING
STATE Police
kANAWHA CITY CHOSEN FOH
SITE OF RECRUITS CAMP;
All Troopers to Be Taught Laws and
Their Enforcement.

A training school for recruits to the
West Virginia state police has been
established by Colonel jackson Arnold
at Kanawha City, Charleston suburb.
With its establishment. the West Vir-
ginia troopers follow in the footsteps
Of the Pennsylvania, Michigan and
New York forces, which long ago
realized the Importance of rigid train
ing for the exacting duties of law en-
forcement.
The school is housed in two-story
brick structure equipped with shower
baths and other modern conveniences.
It is 80 by so feet in dimensions.
Seventeen men have been quartered
there for several weeks receiving pre-
liminary instruction under guidance
Of Private A. e. Slime, seasoned
trooper.
Recruits Study Laws.
Once sifted through this curriculum,
the recruits retained will be sent to
Beckley, where Colonel Arnold has ar
ranged with number of well-known
attorneys to deliver legal lectures that
will give the recruits an insight into
the deeper aspects of law enforcement.
This is to prevent needless arrests
and assure the conviction of those Of
tenders brought to book. In all states
this has been regarded as the high
test Of forces efficiency and discre-
ton.
The Kanawha City school later will
be fully equipped with horses and mo-
torcycles Rigid examination Of ap-
plicants is being maintained. The
legislature authorized full strength
of 289 men, but SO far 1t has been
kept below the 200 mark.

TIPS TO CENsoRs.

Because of the recent agitation
against censorship, Herbert Rawlin-
son, the Universal Star has outlined
his ideas of what should be barred
from the screen. They are as
follows:
No killing-might exert bad in
fluence on old and young.
No intense loving might lead to
killing through jealousy.
No em5racing-this might lead to
an intense love scene.
No kissing-this might lead to an
embrace.
No hand shaking-might lead to a
kiss.
No smiling-might call for hand
shake.
No-Ch my! What's the use?
Might as well, Have No Picture.

The passage of the federal Good
Roads bill makes certain the con-
struction of the Maryland State road
to the West Virginia Line at Shep-
herdtown Of the nine-mile link
between Boonsboro and that place,
the three miles between Boonesboro
and Keedysville has been entirely
finished, including the new concrete
bridgs, and is a splendid piece Of
work. The contract has been let for
the three miles between Keedysville
and Sharpsburg. And the Mary
land Road Commission announced
some weeks ago that when the feder-
al funds should become available the
three miles between Sharpsburg and
Shepherdstown would be built. This
work will Undoubtedly be done next
summer.

CLUB HOUSE BURNS AT
HARPERS FERRY.

The imposing Club house of the
Blue Ridge REQ and Gun Club about
q half mile below Harpers Ferry,
on the Virginia side of the river, was
burned to the ground last Saturday
evening.
Many Washington men, members
of the club, who left various articles
of clothing, athletic goods and sport
equipment at the clubhouse, lost
these possessions in the fire.
According to stories told by mem
bers who witnessed the fire, the blaze
was started on the roof by sparks

chimney which leads from the fire.
place in the cardroom on the first
flor. The Washington clubmen were
gathered at the dinner table at the
time, and it was remarked that there
was an unusually large amount of
smoke about the place.
The suggestion that there might be
q fire was passed off lightly, however,
with the agreement that the vapors
We're coming from the kitchen. When
the members filed out of the building
following dinner for a cigarette and
stroll the blaze on the roof and in
the attic was discovered simultpn-
eously by the group of Washington
ians.
The fire had gained such Roadway
by this time that efforts to put it out
were futile. In short time residents
of Harpers Ferry came on the run
and Joined the local men in en-
deavoring to remove the contents
from the lower floor of the structure.
Much of the furniture on the main
floor and many Of the hunting and
fishing trophies priced by their do
nors and by the club in general were
removed to place of safety by bust
ness men turned into impromptu
firemen. In the confusion, it is re-
lated that dining table, complete
ly filled with dishes and hot food,
was carried out intact, as if ready for
patrons.
The clubhouse, which contains
about forty rooms, was constructed
originally in 1893-94, and extensive
additions were made at different
periods. The property is located on
a commanding bluff overlooking the
Potomac river. The club was orga-
nized in 1893, and membership is
limited to fifty. Many of Washing
toms business and professional lead
ers are represented in the member
hip, and many men prominent in the
nations affairs have been entertain
ed there from time to time.
