TWO DECLARATIONS
Two important decla rations were!
^.made yesterday in eomnertion with the l
war the United States has entered on
behalf of justice and liberty. One was !
the declaration of loyalty expressed !
by the people in 'their oversubscrip- 1
tion to the Liberty Loan, and the other
was made* by the head of the govern
ment. President Wilson, giving a con-^
Crete definition of the aims and pur- ?
poses of the country in this war.
The first declaration of the people in j
f
fulfillment of the pledge of the govern-;
xnent to its Allies gives body and life '
to the second, that we are in the war
to win: that nothing now tpust stand
between us and victory over force,
Irightfuiriess and bestiality as exem
plified in the forces of autocracy that
are de.-olating fair lands for the pur-j
pose of establishing military despot
ism in place of liberty.
It is against the legions of ruthless
ness that our armies of freedom are j
' to contend. that justice may rule and'
i
liberty govern instead of tyranny. TO;
this end wo must hold out wav un- '
i
fiinchinsiv: to these high purposes we;
must, cots.-vorat' ours-'Ues that Truth, i
Christianity and ? "i\ ili/.a'ion may Mir }
t
vive on earth, and that permanent ;
peace may com#*.
DON'T DEFAULT j
This is Marine Survive do. ;
voted to the task of enlisting young *
men to bring -that service up to its full'
war str'Tiztii. The quota fixed .for)
\\ heel ins is twenty men. hut so far;
the response l(, thn appeal of the gov-,'
ernment indicates that the citv will
fail to make the ?la. k P,n This\.ush- !

young men who wouid h>- willing to'

military and naval servi,-... and affords!
the largest ...ppor??initi,s tor rising '
fiom the ranks. j
The henvtU.- bejob'amed from the I
?Marine sen it- at.- incalculable, from!
a? educational as well as physical!
standpoint. Any boy who enlists is
sure to come out a man in every sense.;

boys, to-day and to-morrow and fill the I
quota assigned to Wheeling. You will !

an unreasonable charge'
The insensate hate tha- pcrvades J
tome ranks of society, more inflamed'
in the devotees of radical Socialism!
find Anarchism, of capital is busyj
these days charging that the L'nitedj'
States was driven into the war by and i
for the benefit of capital. Any -reason- j
man. after a few moments refleC- ;
tions. can see the absolute absurditv I
.of the suggestion. The real animus;
back of socialistic and anarchical I
bate is envy th?* envy of success and!
the restiveness of unsettled nature'
against the restrictions of law and
order.
So far as capita!, employed in in
dustrial investment, hanking and other i
profit-making and wage-paying ?mter-(
Prises, is concerned it wanted anv-j
thing else but w?r. It may bo making !
a little money now. but it is pay.n~!
the heaviest tolls imposed hv war it '
will also suffer in the end in the read- 1
^ justments co come. And so far as |
' buying bonds, which some Socialists
c m were provided for the benefit of'
capital, a return of 3^ per cent can1
hardly be adjudged a paying invest-!
ment. Capital is going into bonds not 1
from choice but as a matter of duty 1
and of patriotism, in this way capital 1
Is working to secure the furtire while -!
it is providing for the safety of the-'
present. " l

HON. CHARLES E. WELLS
Person? even well acquainted with j
the late Hon. <harles K. Wells did not j
I, now that when at horn.- he lived in
ihe unobtrusive lutU- hamlet of Glov- 1
it's Gap. Marion county, and that was
because he always gave one the im- j
prcssion of being a citizen at larue of
West Virginia. He wai always at (
home wherever he might happen to bo. j
Genial, ttholesouled. considerate, he;
was welcomed to evrv circle his feet ;
chose to lead him. He was a delight- j
ful and entertaining companion and
loyal and constantly serving in bin
friendships. The human quality in
Charlie was much larcer than his,
liojirt ovor imlicufnl. :
While he was not show v nf his mon- ;
ml mold, there were few better In
formed men in the State, there was
none who were possessed of a ke.-m-r
business acumen. He * was strictly j
honest in all his dealings and punc-j
iilious in his personal probity. In poll ;
tics he was a loyal party man without ;
being offensively partisan, a fault tha*
nf ten mars strong natures with deep ^
convictions. Charley Wells' oonvic-|
lions were unquestionable in political
matters, but. he never allowed them to
embitter his many warm friendships (
on the oiher side of the party wall.;
over which he frequently east some .
of the most fragrant flowers of friend
ly impulses.
In all of Charles K. Wells' activities.,
i:i first serving his country at the age (
of 1*. and his State afterwards, the;
common brotherhood of humanity was j
never lost, sight of by him. The re- :
cprding ancei must have his name
close to that of Abou Ren Adhem. ;
whose hishest profession was set '
down as "one who loved his fellow
men." j

WORTH TRYING. ANYHOW j
The fermentation method widely (
uied abroad in preserving vegetables, j
such as beans -and beets and other suc-j
cnlent sardm crops, is described in i
circular just issued by ihe Depart-;
went of Agriculture. Sauerkraut and
piokies put up in this .way are fairly ^
well known in this country, but -com- j
parativelv few persons have thoughl ,
of irving it as a household mfasutr- .
for preserving these and other vege? 1
tables. Those who like acid foods and j
who ha\e too few canning containers-.
II. hold their surplus products may tind j
this method useful. j
The vegetables are not. eookrd. but j
are put down in a salt, brine in any ?
nun-metal water-tight container and j
are sealed up with paraffin and are j
otherwise made air-tight. Under this:
treatment lactic acid will develop and!
this acid, the value of which as food-,
has been recognized, act" as a pre- ;
servative. Whether Americans will i
develop a taste for such fermented !
foods, highly prized in Europe, is open j
to question, but it Is believed that j
many will tind the process well wortn j
trying. . j

VACATIONS AS USUAL j
As we have been admonished to keep
up "business as usual, it is to be pre
sumed that, we are to take our vaca
tions as usual; that is. if we are to
continue the purposes of life nicely
balanced. Keeping up business as
usual means that there must be no
let-up in production to meet the de
mands of war. and there must be no
decrease in normal buying to keep up
employment. The vacation should not
he discarded in any sense. It is not j
economy to save the dollars at the ex- j
P,%nse of health and strength, and fob
that reason it is urged that the aecus- j
tomed vacation be taken to freshen up j
and rest up. |
But taking "vacations as usual" does
cot mean that it is incumbent on us
to take the usual vacation. The ques
tion of cost many enter into diverting
tiome of us to less expensive places
than wc have been in the habit of
seeking. And that will be a good
Are you sure, Mr. Mer

you put into advertising
is doing its full duty; is

it. You'll find my ser
vices well worth the

"PEACE WITHOUT ANNEXATIONS"
Our Only Reason for Fighting- Is That the World May Be Free.
BY ARTHUR BUSHNELL HART
Professor of (iovcrnment ;it Harvard l.'niversit v.
Tin- railed States has deliberately;
sono to war, not for t ho sake of AkIh
nur even for the sake of aiding)
gallant and hard-pressed friendly na-i
lions. Wis are preparing to fight,]
partly because we are in great na-i
i tionai danger in case the Hermans j
should be free: to attack tis without j
! alliance; and partly iu order to "doj
lour bit" in putting an end to a statu j
| of things in which war our only:
means of defense. Nobody expects j
the I'm ted States all alone "to force aj
peace on the re.-t of the world. We
must act in close accord with the]
allies and especially-- with France and'
(Iicai. Britain, which are nearest io|
us in distance and national feeling..
We must also consider ihe wishes and
hopes of Belgium. Italy. Japan and!
China; of the four Balkitn Stales on |
the side of the allies and particularly I
of i he most populous of all the bei-j
ligi?renl> ? Russia. At this moment, it:
is Clear that the Russian people quiver!
for -peace and that the powerful uov-j
eminent combination of Russian work
men and socialists demand "peace
without annexations."
IVace without annexations is aj
round-about way of saying that Rus
sia i- wiHi-ng to accept a return to!
ihe territorial conditions which existed j
when the war broke out, and urges
her allies to come lo the same con-!
elusion. The .world has known many I
peace treaties on this basis of "status'
quo ante bellum"; but such a settle-'
ment is a confession by each side that
ii is unable to impose its will upon
the other. The Germans sot out to.
pulverize France anxl dismantle lCng-i
land, the French determined to re :
eov ??{? Alsace-Lorraine: the Russians j
are out for Constantinople; the Iial-'l
ians for the Trentino and Trieste. j
The confession of a drawn war will
leave the world audience in the same;
exasperated frame of in d as the!
spectators in a draw-game of football j
?nobody Is entitled to u celebration, i
What would "peace without anncxa-.
tions" mean in practice? The Ger
mans must cive up Belgium, northern
Frauce. Poland, Serbia. Montenegro
and liii mania: the English must re
store the captured Ge rman colonics in'
the I'acific and in Afrira. and must
yield their conquests from the Turks
m .Mesopotamia and Syria. The Rus
sians must abdicate Turkish Armenia
which they have and Constantinople
which they have not. The Japanese
must transfer back to Germany the
territory of Kiao Chan, which is a
military base for their influence on
China.
Such terms must be a fearful dis- :
appointment to all. the nations who J
have poured out their blood like watei !
to no eiTect. Christians and Jews will:
b-2 re-dtillvered to the Turkish empire-!
The intense French desire to recover;
A l.-ac Lorraine must go unsatisfied, i
The Balkans, Poland and the Slavs in
Austro-Hungary remain in their old
defiant and dangerous condition. Above !
all. the proposition would allow Aus-j
tro-Hungarv, Bulgaria and Turkey, as;
nominally free stales, to make alli
ances with Germany, which would,
actually create a vast Gorman empire ,
??f lfi0.000.000 people runninu across1
the Eastern hemisphere, on she other
side, such a peace would leave intact ;
the original "entente" of England,!
France and Russia, and the United I
States would probably become a parti
of that great combination. Germany
would be as far from supremacy at \
sea and wide extended colonies as be- :
fore: and the sea-power of Ensland |
would continue.
Hoth sides at present refuse tn con-'
sider such a balanced peace, but if !
the Russians mean .what they say j
how ran better terms be expected? It
would take the United States two;
.wars to fill up the void lefi by the,
Russians; nor can we be expected to
send armies to Europe simply in order I
that the French may take Alsace-Lor
raine and the Italians may capture I
Trivste. Our only reason for fighting:
is that the world may have free and!
undisturbed commerce, respect for the;
rights of neutral*, freedom of the seas. :
and enjoy the right of peoples to form
governments for themselves. We arc;
making war only for the sake of bring-!
ing peace.

BLOOD AND MONEY.
| Some men for carnage loudly hollar,
but when they're taxed an extra dollar
to see the nation through, they
straightway hold an angry session,
and talk of pirates and oppression, un
til the air is blae. The government
th^y were berating because it stuck to
?watchful waiting, when they were hot
.for war. "Why doesn't Wilson go a
gunning." they asked, "and set th?*
Kaiser running? What is lie waiting
for? For battle we are simply spoil
ing, the blood in our blue veins is boil
ing, we blush with deepest shamo, be
cause our country fiddle-faddles, and
hesitat.es nnd stalls and straddles,
'while others play the came." Now
