Richmond, Va.,?Forecasting legislation which may have to be enacted by "dry" states in order to uphold their Prohibition laws, the State Senate of Virginia on Saturday adopted without a dissenting vote resolutions offered by Senator Sax?ou W. Holt of Newport News. These resolutions make an open sea son against all individuals operating airships engaged in the transportation of liquors into "dry" territory. The protection accorded even to "ornamental and useful birds" will be lift ed and hunters will be at liberty to tire on the airships just as if they were predatory birds. Senator G. Walter Mann of Aeco mac, loader of the "dry" forces, in the last legislature, imediately saw the trend of the resolution and moved its adoption. Senator John A. Leaner of Norfolk leader in the Senate "wet" forces or local optionists, caught the humor of the resolution and voted aye The resolution grew out of news from Ohio that an enterprising liquor dealer of that State was preparing to get around the Strong Prohibition laws of West Virginia by aeroplane. The Senators of Virginia regretted that West Virginia^ was to be invaded by a wet aerial .flea*. The preamble and resolution adopted ran thus: "Whereas, The General Assembly of Virginia has learned with regret certain citizens of the State of Ohio have undertaken to convey intoxicating liquors to the citizens of our sister State of West Viriginia by means of an aeroplane; and, "Whereas, We deplore the fact that one of the cherished industries of said State of Ohio appears to be up in the air; and, "Whereas, We sympathize with the suffering citizens of our said sister State of West Virginia because of their liquor coming so high; and, "Whereas, We feel that such an underhand and overhead method of irrigation should not be encouraged, lest some of the inhabitants of our own Commonwealth of Virginia, after the first day of November, 191(>, should acquire the habit of gazing upon the sky and thereby walking unsteadily upon the earth: therefore, be it "Resolved, by the Senate of Virginia, the House of Delegates concurring That the General Assembly of Virginia warns all persons who may contemplate the transportation, from any point beyond the borders of this State to any point within the same of ardent spirits, malt liquors, wines, or other liquors containing alcohol by means of aeroplanes, balloons, Zeppelins or other aircraft, that should n\f Ko i?lr hiaam om/* viiiuui n u|/v/u ouv 11 it 111 ^ 11v. \ ull terprisc at any time, but more especially on or after the sacred and memorable first, day*of November, 191 (? then in that event the protection now provided by law for buzzards and other ornamental and useful birds will be held not to apply to such purveyors of contraband, but that there will be esi tablished an open season of continuous and unlimited duration for hunting all such aerial intruders, provided such hunting be done in good faith for the purpose of desruction and not for the purpose of acquiring the spoils of the chase; and, "Resolved, further, That all of the good people of Virginia are earnestly enjoined never to take a drop from any of the aeroplanes, balloons, Zeppelins or other aircraft aforesaid, as the fall might be disastrous." Senator Andrews of Roanoke said he thought the resolution should be amended to provide that liquor could not be brought into Virginia by means of pipe lines and subterranean caverns I IMI.WUIN M'iA.S!';, Longfellow could hike :i worthless piece of paper and write a poem on it and make it worth $05.000 that's gon ius.

Up to last Friday, acording to news leaching here on that day, the toll of vessels sacrificed to Germany's submarine warfare amounted to twelve in all. The news dispatches said that the second week of Germany's submarine campaign opened with the loss of" two more British ships. The Depford a small steamer, was sunk off the Eng lish coast by a mine or a torpedo. The small coasting steamer Western Coast was sunk by a mine or torpedoed in the English channel at a point off Beachy Island. Previously ten vessels seven of them British, had been sent to the bottom. Germany apparently is preparing to extend the field of these operations, ! for three submarines have been sent ' to Pola, presumably for use in the Adriatic and Mediterranean. The American proposal for cessation of this form of warfare and admission of foodstuffs to Germany are before the German and British governmentS hnf thorn n rn nn l'lwlinnti'nfit. if | ...v..?wy ~v?v Vttv4 v Ml V l?V/ IIIUAVUVIUHO A X they will find exceptance. Germany's claim to an overwhelming victory in East Prussia, resulting in the virtual annihilation of theRussian tenth army, is denied categorically by the Russian general staff. The admission is made that two army corps suffered heavily during the retreat, but the remaining corps are said to have escaped from German sur ' rounding movements. Efforts of the Germans to clinch their victory by striking a decisive blow in northern Poland are leading to continuous battles all along that section of the front 1 the outcome of which the Russian staff does not attempt to forecast. Hardly less intense is the campaign in the Carpathians. Petrograd claims successes in small engagements. Dispatches from the front to Swiss newspapers say the Russians are winning consistently and that the- Austrians have lost more than three thousand men at Dukiu Pass. | No Use to Try and Wear Out Your Cold, It Will Wear You Out Instead.

Edison and a chronology of William H. Meadowcroft, who for thirty years aas been one of Edison's chief associates. The article is accompanied by a remarkable photograph of Mr. Edison. This photograph was rescued from the thick of the fire ?? aiAVBft UVUVI VJT t\l JLJlliOUU JJUllll 111 December. The frame was charred and the glass covering the photograph was cracked and blackened by the heat but the picture itself remained remarkably unmarked. The great inventor, with characteristic humor, scribbled on the margin, "Never touch ed me." An extract from the editorial accompanying the chronology follows: "On December 9th the huge manufacturing plant of Thomas A. Edison, situated on the Valley Road, Orange New Jersey, was visited by a devastating lire which devoured buildings, apparatus and supplies, whose value can, at the time of writing, only be loosely estimated. "The inventor fatched the fire with one thing upermost in his mind. What do you suppose it was ? What would you be thinking about under those cir! cumstances, with the labor of years, and nearlv all vou own in tho wnrM i going up in ruins and loss? "Thos A. Edison was intently examining the tire resisting qualities of reinforced concrete construction, so that hereafter such buildings may be truly fireproof. "There's a mighty expensive experiment/ he said, pointing to the blazing pile, "but it's a good one. There will be a mobilization around here tomorrow if that stuff cools off enough, and when those buildings go up again,] they'll go up fire proof. "What an example! Especially ir I these times, when so many show the j white feather and croak about hard ! times or bad luck or snnm nthm* kivV i of petty trouble or grievance! Here is the living incarnation of American j spirit and courage. Not a thought of | the past! Not a regret except for the single life iost,?one of the workmen who died doing his duty! Not a hint of complaint or discouragement, but every power of thought and will concentrated on what he was going to do | next. 'I'm sixty-seven years old,' he said, 'but I'm none too old to take a fresh start tomorrow morning. Nobody is ever too old to take a fresh start!' "Was there ever anything finer, more magnificently and truly American than this? Can the inspiration of such an example ever weaken ? Can one ever forget it, or let it lose its power over us? We take this occasion to publish a chronology of Edison's life, showing the things he has achieved in t he realm of physical sciences. We are grateful for them. But we are most of all grateful for the ideal standard patern of American bravery and spirit that we see outlined in bold relief against the blazing background of the Valley Road."

Great Britain, France and their al-^ lies have advised neutral countries that they hold themselves at liberty to stop all shipping to and form Germany and the countries of her allies. Public announcement of thic action will be made early this week. The text of the declaration will set forth that this decision is necessary because* of German submarine attacks but that* Great Britain and France will respect the lives of crews and passengers in any steps they may take. The d eclaration is not a reply to the American representations looking to a cessation of German submarines activity and the admission of food t^w Germany for civilians. The declaration will not effect cargoes shipped before the date of this advice to neutrals Probably Already Issued, The exact date carried by the declaration has not been announced tut. it probably is February 26 or 27. No special articles of commerce wilt be mentioned in the British-French.| 1-1 declaration. Uotton and foodstuffs,, for example, will not be specified but the terms will be general. The situation created will be entirely justified according to the English view, because of Germany's unprecedented action ijfc attempting a submarine blockade re* gardless of danger to the crews and passengers of ships. Shipping to the Baltic will not be alfected except as Great Britain and her allies prevent supplies from entering Norway, Sweden and Denmark for reexportation to Germany. Holland Exempted. Holland, by making its prohibited export list conform with the British contraband list and by the creation of the Netherlands Interseas trust? to which virtually all cargoes entering Holland are consigned with the government guarantee that they will not be exported to Germany?has put! its shipping in a position which will be affected little by the declaration. 1 It is believed here that the Scanl dinavian countries doubtless will tak? similar action to insure continuation of supplies from America and else! where lor home use. While DenmarH Sweden and Norway have repeated!? modifier! 1 --- ?..v- UOI.O U1 piuiuoitctl t'XH ports, their regulation for the preverifl tion of reexportation apparently havB been unsatisfactory to Great Sritaifl or the administration of the regulsfl tions has been unsatisfactory, as caifl goes have not moved to the Scandil navian countries with the same frccfl doin as to Holland.
