(Ry tie Associated Press) Women and children from the Little Coal liiver eountr where armed bands have gathered along the eastern slope of Snri.ce 1-ork ridge, have arrived here in lai-e numbers and are quartered in hotJU and with private families. Many of them are the families of business and professional men a' though some are the wives and ' chi:. aren of miners. People who have come from the min ing country tell of the constant arrivpl of armed bands nf rnn . ' - ii um urn y parts of southern and central West Vir ginia. It is also related that all work in the region has been abandoned while business is at a standstill. Reports reaching here this morning said that physicians from the towns around Blair had been summoned to that place, where a temporary hos jntal had been opened for the wounded in the lighting along Spruce Fork ridge. v Sometimes i tdoes and sometimes it "don't." Friday night it does. Tho last time it did 75 people saw it. An even larger crowd is expected on hand Friday night. It is called the Night Blooming Cy rus considered one of the most unique and beautiful plants in the world. For months and months this weird plant nestled in the yard of Mrs. W. F Wearn, 511 West Seventh street, with out a single bloom. Then suddenly it burst into gorgeous colors to astound the most apathetic botanist. By morn ing it has gone back in its shell, so to speak, determined not to bloom again for many more months. The plant some what resembles a cactus by its leaves. Whenever it blooms, it does so only at night. No bud ever blooms more than once. A 3 soon as they close, they remain shut forever. It does not bloom again then until new buds begin to sprout out. I his is what was taking place wii :i the plant Friday afternoon. According to Mrs. Wearn, who has had Tin; plants for years, it is getting ready .0 burst forth in all its glory Friday night between 8 and 9 o'clock. The fra grance from its blooms will spread through the entire yard and house. "For one who has never seen su-.h a plant, the sight will be a rare treaV promises Mrs. Wearn. "I want all who care to see it bloom come to my front yard Friday night between 8 and 9 o'clock. One of the most wonderfti sights to be sent in plant life awaits those who take advantage of this .-im portunity. Saturday morning every bloom will be closed, and the plant will lie as if dead for many months. ' OPERATIVES (Continued From Pago One.) TROOPS LEAVE CAMP SIIEKMAN. Camp Sherman, Ohio. Sept., 2. Two troop trains carrying the 19th infantry numbering about 600 officers and men' left for the West Virginia mining dis trict at 9:20 a. m. central standard time today. The troops were fully equipped for field duty, box cars and flat cars attached to the trains carrying horses and transportation and other equip ment. The troops are under command of Colonel Martin, and their destination is said to be St. Albans, W. Va. Upon his arrival there, Colonel Martin was under orders to report to Brigadier General Bandholtz for disposition of his men. 40TII INFANTRY ENTRAINS. I.ouisviUe, Ky.. Sept. 2. The 40th in fantry, with full equipment for pro tracted field service, but without artil lery, entrained at Camp Knox, near here, today for West Virginia. Exact destination was not announced but was said to be the coal fields of Mingo county. First announcement was that the re"-1 iment had been recruited to 1,400 offi cers and men, but Colonel Edward A 1 Shuttleworth, who was in command I said the number was far below that f;-' ' phone message to The Charlotte News stated. Picketing about the homes of operatives had ceased and no crowds had gathered about the mills.

" DISCORD SOWN BY THE SERBS Albanian Leader Say Trea ty Creates Standing Men ace to Peace. By EDWARD C. STRUTT, International News Service Staff Correspondent. Rome, September 2 A pmominent Al banian citizen, Sotir Gjika, who has returned from a visit to his native coun try, has favored me with the following statement on the Balkan situation: "The Balkan peninsula, even after the World War, constitutes a standing menace to the peace of Europe. The fundamental trouble is that the bung ling re-arrangement of the Balkans, as it has emerged from the various peace treaties, places Serbia in a position of undiscussed an undeserved supre macy over the other Balkan peoples. "Such an arrangement cannot, there, fore, be regarded as lasting, because disregards the claims of thousands who have shed their blood for a patriotic ideal. Nevertheless, with the exception or occasional vioieiu aisturDanpea which take place in Jugo-Slavia be tween opposing tendencies and factions, it may be said that a state of calm prevails at present throughout the Bai kan peninsula. 'TIS AN OMINOUS CALM. "But 'tis only the ominous calm that precedes a storm: for the downtrodden peoples, Aioanians, ivionienegi ins, .Bul garians, etc., who have been handed over bound hand and foot to Serbia and Greece by the treaties will sooner or la tcv vphpi np-Qincf tViir IVirnltlnm whiln Sprhs nrirl fJr.ppks who havn riennf it.sr1 1 most of all from the generosity of the j victors, have no intention of giving up their ambitious designs on Albania, which they intend to cut up and share among themselves. "Bulgaria, exhausted by the war and busily engaged in the work of recon struction, does not deem it prudent or advisable at the present moment to turn her Macedonian 'comitajis' loose on Serbia for a final decision. The Albanian government, intent on reor ganizing the country which has only just emerged from the century-long domi nation of the Turk, is animated by the most sincere desire for peace. "It may . even be stated that, should ine rroniier-nne or lvis, respecting in future the Alhaninn frontier ns lair down by the Conference of London, Aioania wouia oe only too glad to maintain an attitude of strict neutral ity, devoting itself entirely to recon structive work in common interest of all Jwalkan people. In no case, however, would Albania abandon to th?ir fate these of her children who, owing to the injustice of the Powers, have remained unaer roreign domination. "FRONTIER WARFARE CEASED." Odd Impressions In Capital McCombs Memoirs Produce "In spite of the bellicose spirit which is one of the characteristics of all Bal kan peoples, it may be said that com. pa rati ve calm now reigns throughout the peninsula. Frontier warfare be tween comitajis and Herman garri as also has the eruerilla. fiehtincr b. tween comitajis and Serbianan garri sons in Macedonia. The situation has also somewhat improved in the district of Kossovo, which has always been the scene of fierce encounters between Al banian insurgents ana Serbs. But the latter have not given up their policy of systematic massacres and denation alization, ruthlessly suppressing as many Albanian patriots as fall into their hands. "There are about one million Alba nians in the district of Kossovo. and their presence constitutes an insur mountale obstacle to the realization of Serbia's ambitions dpsiVns in Mano. donia and in Northern Albania. "As regards the situation in Monte negro, it is extremely grave, and it is I no exaggeration to say that the inde pendence of this unfortunate and he roic little country is irremediably com promised. Official Europe appears to have definitely accepted the accom plished fact, namely, Montenegro's forced annexation to Jugoslavia. Mon tenegro can only hope to reacquire its lost liberty by a general upheavol of Balkan peoples against Jugo-Slavia, which would have the effect of driv ing back the Serbs within their natural confines. BODIES OF MAITLAND AND OTHERS BURIED BY PARKER ANDERSON, Staff Corretpondent of The Ncra. Washington, Sept. 2. Washington impressions of the published chapters of the McCombs story of "How I Matle Woodrow Wilson President" are about as varied and Various as the ramifica tions of the story itself. Generally speaking Democratic opinion rather deplores the publication because of the many manifest inaccuracies which can not but be subject of interminable con troversy. On the other hand many of the ad herents of the Wilson administration rather welcome the nnhlieatinn frnm the viewpoint that they believe the McCombs story, as edited by Mr. Lang of the Hearst newsnaners will rprlow-i to the credit of the former President s sound judgment. Republicans seemingly do not take the story seriously but read it with more or less mingled interest .ml amusement. Many of them are thank- iui vi me attempt of Mr. McCombs' biographer to place the responsibilky for President Wilson upon his cam paign manager. This sin from then viewpoint has been one of the "bones of contention" to th rior now Ambassador to Great Britain. Geoi'fire Harvev. sometimes rAforrorJ rn as "Colonel George Harvey" until tha oum Carolina tormer service men de moted the now Ambassador to the Court of St. James. HARVEY STARTED IT. It is Pointed Out that Mr Parvov had really placed Woodrow Wilson's hat in the ring as far back as 1906 when the President of Princeton was busily engaged in an academic struggle with me trustees or tnat institution. Con cededly the support of Mr. Haryey anl his associates, as well as the various newspaper and magazina interest with which he was connected made M Wilson Governor of the State of New Jersey.

"We are practical men" and the iob of making Mr. Wilson Governor of New Jersey was an intensely practical one fathered by Mr. Harvey, fostered by former Senator Jim Smith and th.? then controlling Democratic ring or isew jersey and very little nurture emi nated from the efforts of Mr. Mc Combs, who was entirely unknown in New Jersey and whose only political experience in New York was that of a defeated candidate for the assembly at -fuoany. McCOMDS NOT THERE. People here in Washington who have had much to do with New Jersey pol itics for the last ?0 years were very much surprised to be informed, through the medium of th.? story, that Mr. Mc Combs had had anything whatever to do with Mr. Wilson's political uoMft in that State. Certainly none of them can recall ever having heard of Mr McCombs cvm inrHvrtl V until o-f- -- Woodrow Wilson had been inducted into the omcc as Governor of New Jer sey tor several months.

CALIFORNIA TRIP The trip was not considered snceoss ful from the viewpoint of the original group and Frank Parker Stockbridge, the magazine writer was most depress ed with the outlook, he having been charged with the responsibility of the news propaganda. AIcKee Barkley, the celebrated cartoonist of the Baltimore Sun was one of the party who can be truthfully resignated as an original Woodrow Wilson man. The Pacific coast trip of Mr. Wilson's was such a decided frost that the con tributors to the fund, including Mr. McAdoor withheld further financial sup port to the New Jersey governor's can didacy, and it is at this juncture Mr. McCombs story uhould have started.

He carried this burden for several weeks until Cleve land Dodge of New York; Cyrus Mc Cormick, of Chicago, and other wealthy men, mostly classmates of Mr. Wilson at Princeton came to his rescue and provided the sinews of war. VICK GETS IN About this time the attention of Mc Combs was called to the activity of Walker W. Vick, a native of Wilming ton. - in New Jersey political matters, Vick having handled the campaign in Borgen county N. J., which not only rolled ud a laree maioritv for rr Wilson but transferred a republican county of some 3,000 ordinary Republi can maioritv Into Tlpmni-rnHo nnntit rf approximately 4,000 majority, and saved I me seat oi me late wimam Hughes in congress.

McCombs first assigned to him the States of North Caj-olia, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Flori ida. Upon advice of .Tosonhim rtontoi the North Carolina campaign as relat ed to the general headquarters in New York was of the gum shoe variety. The Charlotte Observer, then under the edi- tursnip or Major J. C. Hemphill, was an ardent advocate of the candidacy of Judson Harmon of Ohio.

It is distinctly recalled here .by some of those , who had intimate relations with the Wilson candidacy that Col. E. M. House was not only a very ardent advocate of President Wilson's candida cy but was a substantial contributor fi nancially as is shown by the published xecords and the treasurers sworn state ment filed with the Chief Clerk of the House of Representatives. It is also known that on numerous occasions dur ing the pro-convention campaign Mc Combs' health failed him entirely and the burden of conducting the campaign fell upon the shoulders of Vick with Col onel House as his advisor. It is also true that the published report of Colonel "r t i - ; - . . nuuse s opinion is not oniy erroneous out in direct connict witn the trutn. on the eve of sailing from Boston for Eu rope In June, 1912, Colonel House wrote to Mr. Wilson at Princeton- and stated as his candid opinion that if Champ Clark wras not nominated on the third or fourth ballot that the chances of Governor Wilson 'would be most excel lent. He furthermore recommended the floor plan of operation so eminently successful at the Baltimore conven tion. It was also Col. House' recom mendation to Governor Wilson that in the event of his nomination at Balti more that he select a campaign com mittee of Senator James A.
