Senator Smith Entitled
to Reelection.

United States Senator John Wall
ter Smith, who is seeking reelection
to the Senate, is without the slight
est doubt entitled to reelection.
No matter what may have been the
opinion of many persons before the
primaries. his splendid victory then
and the size of the majority which
he secured, coupled with the untir-
ing support which he has given
President Wilson during his admin
istration. make his reelection a du-
ty that the Democratic party OF
Maryland owes to him personally
and to President Wilson and the
Democratic administration as well.
There can be, nor has there been,
any question whatsoever as to the
fairness of the primaries. and under
these circumstances it is the duty
Of every Democrat to cheerfully as
sist in carrying out the expressed will
Of the majority of the party, and this
duty should be a pleasure at all
times, but particularly so when the
party has spoken in such overwhelm-
ing numbers as was the case at the
recent primary election.
State Senator Jesse D. Price, who
Is the party candidate for the Con-
gressional vacancy, should likewise
receive the support of his fellow
Democrats. While we supported
Col. sisk in the primaries. we feel
NO hesitancy in supporting Senator
Price in the general election. and
take pleasure in helping to carry
out the will of the majority of the
Democrats of the First Congressional
District as expressed at that election.
Every Democrat in Dorchester
county should eudeavor to vote at
the election next week. No chances
should be taken, but every effort
should be put forth to assure Ma
tlonal Democratic administration OF
our interest in and sympathy with
the solendid record which the party
has already achieved, and to further
assist it In carrying forward those
measures which may yet be needed
to supplement that which has al
ready been done.

EUROPE's "FAlRYLAND"
TO BE Battlefield
From the New York Herald.

III predictions of military experts are
borne out one of the decisive battles of
the present general European war will
be fought at Namur. Belgium. where
are the outlying forts which guard the
approach from Germany to France
along the valley of the Mouse. Here,
according to the experts, the united
forces of England, France and Bel
gium will oppose the Germans.
Namur, is miles west of Liege,
is in the center of What is called the
fairyland of Europe" The town is ia
nous for its natural beauty and his
toric relics. On the citadel, the great
hill on which the old city stood, Caesar
built an amphitheatre, and after him
lords and warriors of many nations,
made their headquarters there. Today
the citadel is the playground of the
W%alloons. from Luxemburg to Liege.
Tourists by the thousands hav long
made 1T part of their pilgrimage, and
every year in the amphitheatre on the
citadel are given great pageants and
festivals. to which all of Belgium and
The notables of Germany. Switzerland,
the Netherlands and France go.
Namur of today lies at the juncture
of the. Mouse and Sambre rivers, amid
a grove of great trees. through which
wind broad boulevards. This is the
new town. The old town lies on the
great hill. II sparkle of moss dotted. age
riven. stone that clings to the sand
stone cliffs along the Meuse river. The
houses in the new town are nearly all
white, with pink slate roofs tina gleam
out from their tracery of foliage. In
the suburbs are man villas, the sum-
mer homes of the leading men of Bel
GUM and nearby countries.
On the citadel is an enormous pla-
teau, back of which looms the stadium
where the games and festivals are
staged. Revealed there are vestiges of
every era of modern civilization. In
the spaces between partly dccayed
structures are our older ruins bur
rowed under the green lichen moss.
There are the antique towers called the
Joyeuse towers. which rise over a
mouldy pile that was the castle of the
counts of Namur in the Eleventh CEN
fury.
On this citadel were staged numerous
battles, and The flags of the nations of
the different eras OF time fioated over
it's castles. In 1852 Henry the Blind
took the city, n in 11SS Baudouin de
Hainut captured it.
In 1913 ear I retook the Donjon, as
the old castle is called. In the Fifteenth
century, Maximilien became it's master.
Louis XIV, in 1892, attacked Namur.

Spiritual Cost of War.

Civilization itself stands in jeopardy.
The nations which are at war are the Gus
todians of enlightenment for the earth.
and they are e%ntrapped into treason TO
their trust. For, after all has been said
on the side of the virtues developed by
war: we know that these peoples win not
be the same peoples after his tornado has
swept them. For the destruction of a
Galveston, the shaking and burning Of a
San Francisco, the Overwhelming of a
Dayton. the wrecking of an Omaha. or
the lnundating of a Johnstown there IS
a remedy in mutual help and intensified
industry and enterprise. Those calamities
come from mans defeat at the hands of
Nature: but this Internal thing in Europe
is mans defeat of himself. The index
number of everything good will stand low
er after 1T is over. The pressure gauge
OF efficiency will fall when it is over. In
deed, it will never be over. The long
climb to the uplands of the soul, toward
which mankind struggles, is not gained
by sudden leaps: and a long, tragic slim

1t means that the military system, bred
by and Itself breeding suspicion among
nations. should be discredited as an in
strument of modern government: that the
peace cause should gain force and ad-

popular support.

NEW METHOD OF AIR
FIGHTING

Fishing for the enemy's air craft
with bombs is the newest terror of
modern warfare. made possible by the
invention of A. Steinmetz, of Phila-
delphia, a nationally known aviation
enthusiast.
The military aviator. with the new
device. will go angling for hostile
%aeroplanes and d%irigibles. using a line
and hook to which is attached a bomb
of high explosive power.
The object Of the aviator being to
destroy his prey. the hook is made so
that the moment one of the barbs
catches in anything the bomb explodes
and at the same time the fishing line
or cable, which is let out by a reel, is
stroyer to fly away unframed as the
enemy's craft, torn into a thousand
pieces, hurtles to the ground.
AS described in the patent, the
Steinmetz device will be useful main
ly in offensive operations against air
craft. and it's object is to provide for
the destruction of an airship by an
other airship. which itself incurs lit
tie risk or injury.
Preferably, the attacking airship
will be an aeroplane, since this type of
airship is capable of quickly changing
it's direction at high speed and of
rising or falling at the will Of the op-
orator.
BY employing the Steinmetz method
a swift aeroplane could mount high
over another craft and then by speed
ing ahead place itself in position for
casting it's line. Then in a moment
the line could be thrown over the 9TH
er craft. Destruction would be al
most instantaneous and of course
thorough. However. in such a case it
would be necessary for the air-de-
stroyer to have a controlling speed over
the craft to be attacked or it could not
get into position to cast it's line with
absolute certainty.
Again two aeroplanes could circle
around a dirg1ble just as it was about
