Maryland.s Duty to schlev.

Men at the head OF the States flnan
clal affairs seem to be under the impress
sion that the Maryland Treasury, cannot,
at this time, stand for an appropriation of
SIS, 900 10 build fitting shaft in honor
of Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley.
They are very much in the wrong
Maryland cannot not afford not to build
II. Plans for such movement should
have been well under way long before
this and il will be disgrace ii Maryland
delays any longer the proper recogni-
ton OF the heroic work Of its honored
son. To put the matter off for two
years more would be as bad as putting it
of for twenty years or Tor another gener
alton.
Admiral Schley made a record 10 the
American Navy second to few officers OF
the present generation His whole ca
Teer was marked by heroism, daring and
a devotion to duty that made him a
strong figure in the country's naval his
tory. When we'll advanced IN years he
won his highest fame by his defeat of the
Spanish fleet at Santiago and the whole
country resounded with plaudlts for his
deed. All of the efforts that were made
10 ROB him Of his aurelS ended in utter
failure, and in the hearts of the Amer
lean people his memory will always be
cherished, and his name always hon
ored.
Cannot Maryland afford to expend
S25 900 for monument to such a man?
Her Legislature hnanciers can well afford
70 cut some Of the useless appropriations
to make room for this one. They will
be held to strict account if they fail to
pay this tribute to Schley. Let us hear
no more of Maryland's poverty when a
duty like this is at stake. Make the ap.
preparation this week and be proud Of
the chance. Baltimore American.

Companv A Men Interested.

The members OF Company A, of this
city, are highly pleased with the informa-
ton made public in the papers within the
last few days, of big maneuver about
Washington, d. c.. which is to take
place this summer, when about $4,000
men will take part. The greatest source
of pleasure is the fact that Brigadier-
General Charles d. Gather, of the
Maryland National Guard, may com
mand the defending army If this be
true it is expected that the Maryland
troops will be assigned very prominent
part in the maneuvers.
Baltimore is to be the base of opera :
tons for the "army" that is to attack
Washington. This "army" will consist
of the entire National Guard of Penn
sylvania about 5000 strong. AS a part
Guard of Maryland will be with the
army that will defend Washington.
rigadier-General Charles D. Gather,
the commander of the First, Brigade,
Maryland National Guard, may COM
mand this army.
The whole scheme is to develop how
successfully the National Capital can be
defended in the event of an invading
army ever landing on the shores OF the
Chesapeake Bay and moves towards it.
Baltimore was selected as the base for
the Invaders" because of its hal Dor
facilities and its source of supplies.
The placing of the troops IN the two
armies and the selection of officers for
the maneuvers will be left with Gen.
James K. Evans, acting com mander of
the Department of the East, COmDlete
details of the Struggle" will be worked
out by General Evans and the military
officers attached to his department.

Brunswick Man Dies at Hospital

AS result of the injuries he sustained
last week, Louis M. Meeks, of Bruins
wick, died Monday at the Frederick City
Hospital. He was suffering with frac-
tured skull. A surgical operation was
performed and it was thought the man
would get well. Sunday, however, his
condition took turn.
1t was stated at the hospital that Mr..
Meeks death was due to meningitis,
which followed from the injury Of the
skull.
Meeks was painter by trade and
worked on many jobs in Brunswick.
No one seems to know how Meeks was
hurt. 1t. is thought he was struck by a
train and hurled to the side of the tracks.
He then apparently crawled on the
tracks again and would have been mash
ed under train if he had not been seen
by the freight crew.
Meeks is survived by his widow and
two children.

Fire May be Work of Incendiary

Fire on Sunday night, March 22nd, de-
stroyed small building, near VOLTS
vile, this county, which has been used
for public school purposes, taking care of
the grades which could not be accomo-
dated in the regular school building at
that place. The one story structure had
formerly been used as a cabinet makers
shop. 1t was totally consumed as we'll as
some OF the contents, including the
desks, etc. Most Of the school books,
some desks and the stove were saved.
There was some insurance on the build
ing.
The place where the fire started makes
1t appear that it was of lncendlary origin,
although it may have been accidental.
The flames were first discovered by Eu-
gene Hays, who was passing at the time.
This was about 1918 p m, and as few
persons could be secured promptly to
help Mr.. Hays to fight the flames, the
fire could not be checked The fire
seems to have started without the school
building, and it is thought by many that
the structure was set on fire. 1t is very
likely that an investigation will be made.

Flash Lights to Warn Deaf Stu.
dents of Fire.

The MARYLAND School for the Deaf STU
dents have organized fire brigade, and
regular drills are being held that the stu.
dents may become proficient as soon as
possible. In spite of the fact that the
students have not the faculty of hearing,
this fire drill and system will work just as
effectively as those drafted for people who
have all their faculties.
Flashlights will be used in the different
dormitory rooms to rouse the students.
If there are any who have not been awak-
ened by the flashlights the other students
will see that they are gotten out of the
building.
A few evenings ago a trial drill was
held, and the students were gotten out of
the building within several minutes.
None of the students were told that the
alarm would merely be test and the stu.
dents thought they were responding to a
real fire alarm.

several batteries Of artillery were
being sent to join the command of
Brig. Gen. Bliss, who was dealing
with the problem.
During TIE day the department

Carranza'S Stage Play.

Ljttle that is definite has been
known IN this country relative to
Csrrarza, but to his advantage up to
this time there has not been much
that was unfavorable. Gen. Villa,
Carrsuza's lieutenant in the field,
proved himself a dangerous charact-
.er when he killed the Englishman,
Benton, or permitted the latter to
be killed. There was no proof, how
ever, that Carranza was plivy to
that atrocity, and there have been
people in the United States who be-
Eieved that Carranza was the best
man in sight in M xico for the Unit
ed States to support.
During all of this time Cirranz /
has been asserting that Gen. Huerts
IS a bloody-mirded and despoti
usurFer, and thatno hope for M -xico
existed until he could be removed.
Now that the United States, under
great provocation. has taken the
first step to eliminate Gen. Huerta,
without pre- JUDGING in any way Ca;-
Earza's c aim to leadership. the lat
ter makes a protest. and even init.
mates that he may make war against
the United States.
The only result of such a policy
be that Carranzl himself will be left
out in the cod when the time for re-
adjustment comes.-Louisville Post.

BRAZIL ACTS FOR U. S.

Secretary Bryan asked the Brazil
ian government if it would act for the
United States in Mexico City and af-
ter a conference with Ambassador
De Cana announced that complete
arrangements had been made.
The choice of Brazil was regarded
as very significant. Not only has
Brazil refused to recognize the HUI.
-erta government, but the fact that
the United States considered a South
American nation, emphasized Pan
American solidarity. 1t was the first
time that a South American country
mas ever been asked to act in such a
capacity for the United States.
When war with Spain was declar-
ed France represented America in
Spain In the present case France
stood ready and America took adj
vantage of that readiness with a re-
quest that the American consulate
be taken over at all points where
Brazil did not have consuls, to which
France complied.
