END OF TRACTION ENGINE
TEST.

On Friday afternoon last, Mr.. Couch,
who had charge Of the traction engine
test for the State Road Commission be
tween Cumberland and Frederick, an ac-
count Of which appeared in last week 5
CITIZEN, invited representative Of this
paper, with several other newspaper men
Of Frederick, to witness the taking off
and putting on Of the smooth bands
around the cleated wheels of the traction
engine. Some citizens had questioned
the feasibility Of this proposition, and
Mr.. Couch, willing to answer all ques-
tons and meet all objections, very sue
cessfully proved that the steel bands
around the wheels could be removed in
very short space Of time To be ex-
act, one band was removed in four min
utes, and replaced in eight, making the
time for the total operation twelve min
utes This would be considerably less
time than that required to repair an au
tomobile tire along the road.
Mr.. Couch informed the newspaper
men that it would not be necessary to
have as heavy band around the wheels
as the one he had upon his traction en-
CINE, but that he wished to be abso-
lutely on the safe side, and installed a
band ten inches wide by one half inch
thick. He thought for all practical pur-
poses band six or seven inches wide
would answer the purpose, depending of
course upon general condition, and he
also further stated that whilst his bands
were in two sections, the bands could be
made in three, thus making it easier IN
handle the different sections, as they
consequently would be lighter.
Much interest has been taken 10 this
demonstration, and it is purpose of the
Commission to issue booklet with the
essential facts demonstrated during the
test, which will be literally distributed
10 anyone wishing one Of these books
when they appear. They can be secur-
ed by dropping line to the Commission.
Mr.. Couch is man of very high in
tegrity, and as far as we know, has no
personal interest other than to help out
the general agricultural conditions in this
State. That it is absolutely necessary
to have some solution of the problem of
how TO have our harvesting machinery
taken Of over our state roads without
damage to them, goes without saying,
and our farmers and taxpayers will all
welcome the time when they can feel
that this end is insight.
The State Road Commission has done
the best they can no doubt in the diff
cult position in which they have been
placed, and if they can successfully mas
ter their present proposition, they will
have done great service to the State.
Frederick county is an agricultural com
munity almost entirely, and no better

War And Crime.

OF passing interest, though quite
easy Of comprehension, is the state
ment OF Justice Robert Wallace,
whose position in the city Of London
corresponds TO that Of a police court
Justice in an American city, that all
forms Of crime in his jurisdiction have
lanen on more than 80 per cent.
since the beginning of the war, and
that crimes of violence have fallen off
an even greater percentage. There is
a certain element in the population Of
very large city, which is FESTIVE, IN
easy, and hard to control The ex-
element OF war has a peculiar at
traction for this element, or Tor a
considerable proportion of it, and a
very natural result is that large num-
bers Of chronic offenders against law
and order in time Of peace. are ready
and early volunteers for the front in
wartime. Many Of them display COM
mendable yalor on the field OF battle,
and adopt themselves with fairly good
grace to severe military discipline;
whereas in the prosaic and, to them,
monOtonous quiet of normal life they
find it difficult, if not impossible to
keep out of trouble Evidently, their
temperament requires intense excite
ment, and when that is present, as in
war, they are content; but when it is
wanting, as is ordinarily the case at
home in time Of peace, they seek to
make pthe lack by creating excite
ment on their own account. War
provides violence sufficient to satisfy
them; in time of peace they resort to
crime as Observation-Disclosures

PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

Congress convened on last Monday,
the first Monday IN December, as pro
vided for by the Constitution Of the
United States. President Wilson set a
precedent after bis Inauguration by ap-
pearing personally before both houses Of
Congress. and delivering bis message to
them and to the people. Last Monday
be did the same thing. and from all
parts Of the country there seems to eyme
words Of praise from every source on
this latest executive emanation.
A perusal Of this interesting document
brings out two strong declarations. one
t. the end that large military organi-
zation is not necessary to the peaceful
prrctices Of this country, and that the
business world had nothing more to fear
from congressional legislation.
Going further into the first matter.
the President said be believed in a rea-
sonable sized army and navy. but felt
/ that a strong State militia well orsan-
zei and well drilled in the use Of arms.
could serve the country better than the
more expensive regular army He also
said he felt that stronger navy would
not he unwise, as upon that arm service
IN time Of war much reliance would be
placed.
His word TO the business world has
been most fayorably commented on By
all the big newspapers. and it will have
marked effect no doubt in allaying what
little fear there might have been left
among those who lead in the marts Of
trade and commerce. That there has
been business depression. and that there
has been anxiety as TO what Congress:
might to in view Of what it has done,
there eau be no doubt, but this word Of
the President will have very soothing
effect, and should do much to brine
about strong business revival all ovel
the country. From many sources it il
learned that business is awakening, and
many factories are putting on their Ole
forces or larger shifts. War abroad hai
brought this country many orders fol
supplies and necessities, and this will
have some effect upon general business
conditions.
President Wilson went into many il
teresting plans Of the needs Of the mo
ment in our governmental organization
and pointed out many facts and instances
where benefits would accrue, and wher,
Congress could wisely enact measure
that would benefit the people. He alsc
suggested economy where it could b.
properly practiced, and if half the good
is done at this session that could come
from his wise suggestions, the people
will long remember the second session O
the Sixty third Congress.

Register Of Wills Office Self Sup
porting.


porting.
The Office Of the Register of Wills
is on self-supporting basis. The
ending Of the fiscal year, December /,
shows that all expenses connected
with this Office have been taken care
Of by the receipts. Besides this. from
authentic information, it is reported
that approximately s1,100 or more has
been paid in fees into the State treas
ury. This does not include the
amounts paid in commissions to the
State.
Register of Wills Samuel D. Thomas
has repeatedly asked the County Com
missioners to eliminate the appropri-
alton for an index clerk, as this fee
and work could be taken care of in
his Office. Last year he refunded TO
the County Commissioners the fee ap-
propriated for this purpose.
Samuel D. Thomas, Register of
Wills, on December l, completed five
years Of his term of office. One year
remains. From what can be learned
there is hardly doubt but that Mr..
Thomas will again be a candidate for
nomination to this Office at the Dem
ocratic primaries.
Mr.. Thomas has not announced his
candidacy. His friends and support
ers take the question as a matter OF
fact and are making preparations to
support him.

Merchants May Appeal.


Congressman David J. Lewis may be
asked to investigate the causes which
led up to the filming of Frederick
county merchants because of some
violation of the Federal War Tax
From good authority it was learned
last night that quite a number of
county and city merchants have been
fined because they failed to testify to
the amount of their cigar business
These merchants claim that it was i'm
possible to get application blanks
from the Hagerstown Revenue officer
There is some misunderstanding
concerning the date fixed for the fill
ing Of these blanks or the taking out
Of licenses. Merchants were under
the impression that December l was
the last day. They act specifies No
vember 80.
Wine merchants of Frederick are
unable TO secure the revenue stamps
required for the sale Of Their goods.
One merchant when seen yesterday de-
clared that he had exhausted every
means Of getting stamps. Some of
my communications have not been
answered" he declared.
Frederick and Brunswick merch-
ants have been fined because of the
violation of the section requiring Ii
censes by November 80. The fine was
fifty per cent. Of the amount of the
license. The fines were imposed by
Revenue Collector Bloom, stationed at
Hagerstown.
Partially is alleged in the distri-
button of blanks. 1t is charged that
merchants of Baltimore and Washing
ton county had blanks in abundance.
while Frederick county merchants
were not supplied.
No concerted move has been made
to begin the investigation. Last night
several men said that they would
take the matter up with those who
have been fined and the result will
probably be a consultation with the
Maryland Senator and Congressman.

years old, Welsh singer and

REPORTS ON PUGET SOUND
Says Complaints About Navy
Yard Are Unfounded.

Washington. May THE return Of the
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy from
an inspection OF the navy yards on the
west coast probably will bring 10 an
issue the controversy regarding the Puget
Sound yard. The civil employees there
have been complaining that there was an
unjust method OF determining grades Of
work and compensation.
Rear Admiral V. L. Cottman. recently
retired the latest commandant. was
charged with seeking to prejudice the
Navy Department against the cause Of
the employees. 1t has been found that no
such serious situation has existed at
Puget Sound. The Secretary Of the Navy
had been informed that some Of the
statements made by the workmen were
not true. Admiral Cottman said the
writer of the complaints, who was the
secretary of the workmen's organization,
had no personal knowledge Of the cir
cumstances.
Secretary Daniels asked Assistant Sec
rotary Roosevelt 10 Investigate. There
has been so much trouble at Puget Sound
with workmen that he wanted to find out
whether there was any defect in the
system.
