M. A. C.'S BRIGHT OUTLOOK

Maryland Agricultural College,
just now in the limelight because of
differences between its students and
the military commandant, no longer
needs that sort Of incident to get
mention in Washington newspapers.
Though the institution is Maryland
State College, it each year is draw
ing larger number Of pupils from
Washington for its excellent techni-
cal and scientific courses.
This year the college has just
opened with more than 800 stu
dents, the largest enrolment in its
history, and it had applications for
others who could not be accommo-
dated because of limited facilities.
The college buildings are gradually
being replaced, following the disas-
trous fire of few years ago, but
the surprising fact is that the Mary
land legislature has not been more
generous in meeting the needs of
this institution.
Nowhere in the West would an
agricultural college with so many
other courses that are needed by
young men Of the State be allowed
to suffer for lack Of accommodations
and funds. Maryland, in recent years
has awakened to the substantial ac-
complishments of it's State college.
and entered upon more liberal
policy; but its present appropria-
tions are far from sufficient to put
the institution on a plane with the
foremost State colleges Of the coun-
try in equipment and courses offered.

ARMY WORKS ON KHAKI
SUITS FOR TOMMY atkins
By The United Press.


LONDON. Sept 8 tBy Nail. Some
idea of the number Of soldiers England
has equipped or now is oquippng may
be gained by a survey Of the work of the
great British textile districts which
shows that khaki to equip 200 600 men
weekly is now being produced.
Two hundred miles Of this yellow ma
terial, 56 inches wide, are, woven and
dyed every seven days throughout the
network OF industries centered in Leeds
and other Yorkshire cities Government
contract tailors ON the various scenes are
not far behind the mills in putting the
cloth into uniforms.
For the past three months the diff
cult government problem OF producing
enough khaki to garb the latest recruits
has been solved. The textile mills are
still turning out their weekly quota and
have not yet received showdown
order from the war Office.
From Manchester comes the huge
quantities of cotton thread. lining and
trimming materials for the soldiers uni.
form. Birmingham furnishes carloads
of buttons, buckles and other metal
pieces.
The number OF persons engaged in
this work is a small army in itself

CITY COAL Dealers

MINERS MAY
COON STRIKE

Local coal dealers believing that
trouble will be experienced at the
mines next April, when the four
year agreement between the United
Mine Workers and the Bituminous
Miners association expires, will lay IN
large supplies Of both anthracite and
bituminous coal, so that they VIII
have supply on hand should a
strike occur. II is also known that
the large mining companies are stor-
ing thousands OF tons Of coal in an
effort to meet the increased demand
this winter.
A dealer stated this morning that
indications are that every local dealer
will fill up all available space with
coal before the cold weather sets in.
The coal will arrive here about the
latter part of next month. A number
Of the local dealers view with uncer-
ainty the attempts that will be made

senting a problem at some of the
mines
II was stated by dealer that the
wholesale prices Of soft coal are be-
coming higher and that Wilmington
dealers may be forced to raise the
prices on their patrons. The usual
tall increase in the price of coal in
this city went into effect the first of
this month. In laying in large sup
Y plies of coal the local dealers are
following in the footsteps Of the Penn

railways. which are storing many
thousand tons of coal. This in itself
Is significant of the possibility of

Sir After the war what? Most like
ly a defensive alliance for all the Euro
pean states will be the outcome OF this
Ia st great war among them. A certain
section OF these warning nations who
trusted in the power of might to conquer
and rule all the world, as well as the
remaining ones who believed only less
ia the power of arms and armaments,
will thus be led to sec that the brother
hood OF man is the basic principles of all
permanent peace.
Awful as the present experience Of
Europe is, it has probably hastened by
hundreds Of years the universal ac-
acknowledgement and adoption of the prin-
ciple that right. not might, is the best
law for the welfare of nations. Then
why prolong "a years carnage has been
decisive of nothingl, an unnecessary and
useless conflict, that can only result in
the exhaustion Of these s"lf-same pow
ers and the century-long misery OF the
great masses of all these peoplesg II a

tinuously until the peoples OF these
countries compelled their rulers TO sub.
nit their differences to its decisions
peace might come sooner than anyone

this decisive step, and work for it in
