We have but little data on the ear
Hest settlers east Of the Great Back
bone. Ryan's Glade was first known
as Warmers Glade Warner and Ryan
were doubtless early settlers there.
When Gen. Washington passed that
way in 1884, Thomas Logsden was
living there. Ryan's Glade was sur
veyed in 1774 for George Dickson as
"Flowery Vale" and decided by him in
1895 to Col. Norman Bruce, whose
son, Upton, made it his home.
The land surveys of 1774 east of
Backbone mountain mention several
camps, including Custar's and Coys
probably only hunters cabins.
THE FRAZEES - Thurman, Jere-
miah and Jonathan-were early set
tiers on Frazee's Ridge and Buffalo
Run, but we do not know the dates of
their settlements, The "Buffalow
Run" tract was surveyed in 1772 for
Captain Evan Shelby, for whom Shell
by's Port was named This tract of
149 acres was the home of the pio-
neers jeremiah and Jonathan Frazee
DAVID FRAZEE and JACOB
JUDY settled near Bruceton in the
Sandy Creek Glades of Preston coun-
ty about 1869. They were among the
first settlers in that county. Ephraim,
father of our Freeze pioneers, came
from Pennsylvania about IT'S and
settled near his son David.

AARON PARKER settled at the
junction of the Braddock Road and
the trail to Morgantown, a place
known to early hunters as the Bear
Camp; this was also the sixth camp
of Braddock's army. Parker seems to
have kept an inn. The survey, in 1774,
of "The Hotell," 305 acres, patented
to Col. Francis Deakins, began "about
20 perches N. E. from Aaron Parker
house." Judge John Simkins bought
the place about 1886 and operated a
noted hotel. Later it was owned by
the Beeghleys and is now the home of
Louis Spiker.
JOHN McKANE settled on Brad
docks fifth camp ground at Shade
Run. He is mentioned in the 1774 sur
vey of "Cornucopia" which was pat
ented in 1885 to Daniel Grant, the
founder Of old Grantsville.

Army to Build
New Armored
Target Ships

Armored target ships of new
type will be built for the Army Air
Corps for use in the training of
1ong-range, heavy bombardment
squadrons in actual operations at
sea, the War Department an
nounced today.
Bids will be asked this month for
the construction of several of these
new ships which will compare in
speed and maneuvering ability with
naval vessels.
Ofiicials said the vessels are to
be armored sufficiently to withstand
the impact of standard practice
bombs dropped from any altitude
obtainable by modern aircraft.
They will be capable of operating
far at sea for indefinite periods.
The target ships will be approx
nately ITS feet long, with beam
of 80 feet, and each will be manned
by a crew of about so men.
The Army Air corps has con-
Quoted experiments with small
boats, both manually and radio
controlled for target purposes. The
new type OF target ships was de-
veloped as a result of recent ex-
perimental work in the United
States and abroad.

Signs Of Uncertainty
Develop on Program
0fAeeord With Reds
Hull Won't Soy Whether
StoIin Hos Replied to
Moscow Meeting Note
By BLAIR BOLLES.

Secretary of State Hull declined
to state at his press conference to-
day whether Josef Stain. the Rus
sian Premier, has replied formally
to the glo-American proposalfor
three-power meeting in Moscow,
At the same time, the adminiStra-
ton gave new signs of uncertainty
about the formal development of its
program for cooperation with Rus
STA.
Although Mr.. Hull expressed his
whole hearted agreement with the
speech bY Associate Justice Frank
Murphy, who said in Atlantic City
that the world faced a far greater
danger from Nazism than Com
munism. he was unable to report to
his press conference that a date for
the Moscow meeting had been
picked or that the American dele
gates had been chosen.
The Roosevelt Churchill declara-
tion proposing the conference was
made public six days ago, when it
was understood that the perfection
of the suggested three-power accord
was a matter of urgency.
The Secretary said that so far as
he knew the choice of dates rested
with the American Government. He
recalled that Stain gave verbal as
surances to American Ambassador
Steinhardt that the conference idea
was acceptable to his Government,
but Mr.. Hull avoided an opportunity
to state that Moscow had followed
these assurances with a formal reply
to Mr.. Steinhardt's formal note.
He offered no explanation of the
delay in the choosing of the Ameri-
can delegation.
Mr.. Hull said that Justice
Murphy's talk to the Knights OF
Columbus in Atlantic City was an
exceedingly and timely and con-
structive address. It's main point
was an appeal to Catholics to sup
port the pro-Russian policy, but Mr.
Hull declined to comment ON its re-
ligious implications.
He observed, however. that the
speech is highly worthy of the care
full attention of every student of
present-day affairs.

Japan Warned Again
BY Britain Against
Attack on ThaiIand
London, However,
DiscIoims Guarantee
To Fight for Siomese
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 20.-Any further
move by Japan in the Far East
would be regarded by Britain as
extremely serious" authoritative
quarters said today. although 1t is
understood that London has given
Thailand no specific assurances that
this little nations independence
would be maintained by British
arms.
There is no doubt what the Brit
ish governments feeling would be
if Thailands independence were
threatened" one of these quarters
said, although it was added that
Britain had not been asked to guar
antee this independence.
Comment had been provoked in
authoritative quarters by a speech
on program broadcast by the Brit
ish to Thailand from the Neither
lands Indies in which the speaker
had said: Let Thailand stand firm
In maintenance of her independence
She will not stand alone"
Britain's fighting services, it was
said, have taken adequate defense
measures in the Far East.
Concern has been expressed over
Japan's intentions regarding Thai
land ever since she moved into
neighboring French Indo-China and
was reported to be bringing pressure
on Thailand to grant her military
and economic advantages.

not constitute military commit

Senator Barkley also denied that
