NOTHING GLOOMY
FOR THE SOLDIERS
Only Letters That Express
Enthusiastic Sentiment
Reach Them.

Paris, Dec. 17.-Only letters that
are devoid of all gloomy news or ut
terances are permitted to reach the
hands Of French soldiers. This is in
accord with an irrevocable rule Of the
military authorities They also insist
that all communications must be eth
er unsealed, or written on postcards.
One family complained that it re-
ceived letters from a son almost daily,
but after month of war he had not
received q single word from home.
Investigation showed that each one OF
the letters written by enc boys moth
er contained such words as "desola-
ton" and despair" She was told
that her son was seeing enough desc
lation at the front and did not need
to hear about the despair at home.
The style of the letters changed, and
now they are arriving promptly.
Cold weather and. the shipment of
warm clothing and other comforts TO
the soldiers tended to delay the de-
livery Of letters. The automobile
clubs volunteered it's services and
hundreds of automobiles carried pack
ages to the trenches, until the Ger
mans became aware of the arrange
ment. They captured ten motor cars
filled with packages of heavy under
wear, jerseys, sweaters, tobacco, cigar
cites, cigars, pipes and cigarette light
ers. Some fond mothers sent pre-
serves. cakes, cold chicken and pate
de-fois-gras. One package. that met
with an accident ell route was found
to contain bottle Of perfume.

FIND Argentine
HARD ROW TO HOE
Secretary of Y. NC. A. tells
Of Difficulties Being
Overcome.

No impression has been made. by
the Protestant churches upon the ed
ucated classes of the Argentine repub-
lie, according to B. A. Shuman, sec.
retary of the Buenos Aires Y. M. C. A.,
who spoke at a banquet given by the
local "Y" Wednesday night at the
Y. w. c. A. rooms.
The work of the Y. M. c. A. is
therefore practically confined to the
working classes, among which slow
progress is being made.
Mr.. Shuman told of the many men
attending the University of Buenos
Aires, who go down" on account Of
the lack of any moral restraint from
home or university authorities.
The effects of the long campaign
by the Y. M. G. A. are now begin
ming to be felt, however, according
to Mr.. Shuman. A magnificent build
Ing has now been erected in the heart
OF Buenos Aires, and the association
has 1900 members.
The greatest obstacle to the work of
the organization has been, he said, the
lack Of the faintest conception among
the people of the principles of truth
as applied either to religion or in the
narrower sense.
Mr.. Shuman closed his address with
an appeal for funds for the CARRYING
on of the work. The men present
subscribed $50 and the Student Broth.

$25 more,

some on one side OF the road and some

For miles after a regiment has
passed one sees little groups trudging
along, apparently perfectly contented
and without a worry in the world.
Yet at night they all appear for ra-'
tions, and in the morning start off
again in q solid formation.
II am told that this method OF
marching has proved a great puzzle

strung out. it is almost impossible
from any height to tell whether what

plete Suggestions to the
State Solons.

Resolutions asking the passage of
law which would make the county
road and automobile funds available
for the establishment of a system of

PARTICULAR AS
TO THEIR GRUB

London. Dec 1.-THE East Indian
troops are giving no end of trouble
because of their fastidiousness in eat
ing. In the Netley hospital near
Southampton, Hindus and Moham-
medan wounded almost came to blows
over the question of how their goat
and sheep should be served. It has
been necessary to separate them to
avoid fighting.
The Mohammedan wants the ami
mails heads cut off,, the Hindu insists,
that the throat shall be cut and the
beast allowed to bleed to death after
custom immemorial. At first the Brit
ish in charge of the hospital were
inclined to weigh the matter light
ly,~ but they found that it was Of se-
rious concern to the Indian. After
two or three. clashes between the fac
tions, they were placed in differen Mt
parts of the hospital and their respec-
tive requests in the matter Of how
goat and sheep should be dispatched
are being carefully observed.

A Blow To Liquor Anti Shipping Law

At the beginning of the last session
of the Maryland Legislature, the ques-
tion of passing a liquor law similar to
the one in Delaware known as "The
Hazel Law" was very much agitated
and an effort was made to put such
law through. 1t met with such oppo-
sition, however, that it was finally
abandoned and the law known as "The
Gallon Month Law" was introduced
and passed. One of the chief reasons
for attempting to pass any liquor law
similar to the "Hazel Law" was be-
cause the Eastern Shore counties bor-
dering on Delaware We're made the
dumping ground for those people in
Delaware who could not get whiskey
under the strict construction of the
law then on the statute books. 1t
seems as if this law for Delaware has
been tested and under decision of the
Supreme Court of Delaware constru-
ing both the Webb Kenyon law and
The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1914-06-27

the Hazel law, anybody in Delaware
can have liquor shipped to them from
any point outside of the State of Del
aware.
1t also seems that anybody can have
liquor addressed to them in Delaware
and taken across the line into the Eas-
tern Shore counties of Maryland and
thereby making the Maryland law less
effective and converting Delaware in
to the dumping ground for the East
ern Shore counties.
This matter is discussed in a news
item in the Baltimore Sun, as follows:
"The decision of the Delaware Su-
preme Court that the Webb-Kenyon
law does not prohibit interstate ship
ments of liquor into the dry sections
of this State had its effect today.
More cases of liquor We're shipped by
express into Kent and Sussex coun-
ties, largely from Baltimore, than at
any time since the Hazel law went
into force more than year ago. To
all intents and purposes these coun-
ties are now wet
"The decision had scarcely been rem
dered when orders by the hundreds
were mailed and telegraphed to Balti-
more, Philadelphia and other places
for liquor.
"Not only can liquor be shipped to
Delawareans for lawful use,' but if
addressed to persons in this State, it
can be taken across the line into the
Eastern Shore counties of Maryland,
thereby making the Anti-Shipping law
of Maryland less effective.
can anomalous condition exists in
that liquor can be shipped from with
out the State into local option terri
tory in Delaware, while interstate
shipments are not allowed.

Loyal "fans" who want to see ball
played in these "diggins" are wonder
ing why a town of Elkton's size and
pretensions can't put ball team in
the field. But it seems they cannot
and the exhibition on the home
grounds in last Saturdays game gives
it proof. Whether it was stage fright
or spasm of generosity whereby the
Elkton boys felt called upon to give
the game outright to Rising Sun, or
whether it was just plain "can't play
little bit" the fact remains that Elk
ton made sorry spectacle of itself.
