NEED U.S.k. OFFICERS
IN PRIVATE PURSUITS
Maj. John S. Sewell Believes More
Should Resign to Benefit
the Nation.

Maj. John S. Sewell, formerly OF the
Engineer Corps OF the army. and who
superintended the construction Of the
government printing ONCE building and
Army War College building in this
city. is convinced that considerable
benefits would accrue to the country
IL more army oofTfcers would resign,
as he did himself several years ago
in order to engage in private pursuits.
I'm fact writes Maj. Sewen, they
should be encouraged to resign when
ever q. favorable opportunity ofers. II
makes no difference how competent
any officer may have been, not one has
been or is really necessary to the mil
itar% service. The system that pro-
duced the best of them can produce
others equally good. If the system is
a good one. as judged by it's results.
it is highly desirable that these results
should be disseminated among the
people to a greater extent than they
are at present.
The writer believes that a man who
has been accustomed to the ideals that
obtain in the army has something OF
value to bring with him when he enters
civil life. There is little doubt in the
writer's mind that IL these army Ideals
could be a little more widely d1ssem :
mated through the country 1t would
be greatly for the benefit of all con-
cerned.
Army Ideals Good.
Certainly there are many of our
citizens who acquire these ideals, or
others fully equivalent to them. with
out the army experience: but while
still greatly in the minority. These
ideals could readily be carried into
commercial life without In the Ieast
interfering with efficiency or success.
eff army officers resigned and went
into commercial life in numbers SUI
the benefit to the country would far
exceed the value of the services OF
these men in their purely military ca
pacity.
said about the desirability of getting
the industries of the country organ
lied and trained to produce munitions
on a large scale, when needed, ls I'M
questionably correct II our ordnance
officers, by resigning and going into
civil life, can help to bring this about
they are really rendering greater
service to the country than they were
or are in their official positions.
Germany's Example.
There is another consideration of
still greater Importance. Any one who
considers the exhibition of resource
fulness .presented by Germany at the
present time cannot fail to conclude
that in the future the nation which is
to be successful in the event of war
must be prepared to mobilize all of its
resources-even those which have not
ordinarily been considered Of a mill
tary nature.
Should such an emergency ever face
this country. a large number of ex-
army officers. experienced in positions
of responsibility in civil life. would be
a most valuable connecting link be-
tween the military departments and
the industrial world.
THE writer, having had the advan-
tage of experience in both positions, is
convinced that there is greater need
for such connecting link than perhaps
either the military departments or the
commercial world at this time realizes

Leaders of the association say that

is fifty more than that given in Charles
county last year.
Majorities by Districts.
The majorities given by the several
districts are:
First, st. Inigoes, dry, 7S: second.
Valley Lee, dry, 14S: third. Leonard
town, wet, %: fourth. Chaptico, wet.
IL: fifth, Mechanicsville, dry. So; sixth,
Patuxent, dry, 10: seventh, Mi1estown,
dry. As; eighth, Bay 147; ninth,
Island, dry, 20.
- Probably the greatest disappointment to
the liquor forces was in Mechanicsville.
the terminus of the Southern Maryland
railroad and the home of Horace Bowling,
one of the leading merchants of the coun-
ty and president of the Retail Liquor
Dealers Association of st. Marys county
1t was confidently expected by the adVo-
Gates of license that Mechanicsville would
vote wet by a substantial majority, but
it went dry by fifty-f1ve.
In the Milestown district the liquor ele-
ment felt certain of a majority OF at
least 1875 The district registered a
ma jorty of forty-five for the other side.
Leonardtowns majority of only twenty
seven for the vets" was disappointing.
as it was thought the majority there
would be $50 or more, and in Chaptico.
where majority of eleven was returned.
the license party expected hfty majority:
So confident were the advocates OF
saloons that the county would vote IN
their favor, it is stated. that the liquor
people kept out of the fight until two or
three weeks ago Then an aggressive
campaign was started. but the result
shows that little or nothing was accom-
plished Outside help was not asked by
the saloon element, while the "drys' had
a assistance from Charles county. where the
people thought a dry" st. Marys was
necessary to safeguard them.
Gov. Goldsborough Aids "Drys."
Gov. Goldsborough, it is believed,
was of great assistance to the cam
paisn against the continuance of the
saloon in this county, his letters on
the subject having been given wide

on the bench in this circuit impaired

column at the polls.
1t is said that wholesale liquor deal
ers in Baltimore, where the county
saloonists did most of their dealing,
did not contribute to Keep the extreme
southern county of the state in the
wet" column. Report has 1t that the
local liquor dealers will reduce their
stock in order to dispose of the last
of it before the close of the present
license year-the last year. it is pre-
dicted, that liquor will ever be legally
sold in the county.
Some of the dealers. it is believed, will
endeavor to break all records for sales
during the remainder of the year. 1t
is said they will advise the wet. ele-
ment to prepare for the beginning of
the dry era by laying in heavy sup
plies. Consumers. however. realize
that it will be an easy matter to get
drink" from Baltimore. Washington
and Alexandria. and they see nothing
to be gained by making large pur-
chases in advance.
Leader Love Congratulated.
B. B. Love, leader Of the local dry
forces, was the recipient of hearty con-
gratulations last night and this MORN
ing. Pastors of churches of every de-
nomina ton assisted in the fight, and
the more enthusias site members of the
dry" party today are asserting that
ST. Marys is destined to become one OF
the leading counties of the state as a
result of the election.
With it's fertile soil, vast amount of
water front and it's shipping interests,
1t Is stated, a boom is promised that
will bring people here from other sec
tons of this and neighboring states.
and 1t is suggested that the prosperous
era will mean the completion of the
Southern Maryland railroad to Point
Lookout. said to be one of the most
attractive places on the Chesapeake
bay and Potomac river.
Politicians realize thatsthe result of
the election probably will have ma
terial bearing upon the election of
members of the legislature this fall, as
we'll as upon the election of county Off
Gals. Some of the more enthusiastic
temperance people are predicting that
the incoming legislature will provide
for a statewide vote. which, they
think, will mean the end to the sale of
liquor throughout the state.

ton of officers and consideration of a
mass of business. including several
matters of national interest, were on
the program today at the eighth BIZ
ennial convention of the German Amer
lean Alliance of the United States
The alliance adopted resolutions yes
terday setting forth that information
from the European war appears in
American newspapers discolored. either
by accident or intent, so as to misrep-
resent Germany.
Urge Correction of Errors"
The resolutions urged the German
government to provide more complete
news service for other lands and So
licited the "co-operation of every fair
minded American and of the Associated
Press and United Press. in particular
in our efforts to correct the many err
roneous statements about the German
people at present circulating In this
country"
The resolutions added that while some
errors were due to Observation-Disclosures,
or to dilapidated means of communi-
cation with Germany. "others are IN
territorial and are prompted by sinister
motives.
Prof. Leo Stein of the Milwaukee pub
lie schools praised the achievements OIL
the German American press in combat
ing the alleged English influence on
the war news.
Shipment of War Munitions.
Much interest is shown in several
questions expected to come before the
convention. One of these is the ship
ment of war supplies from the United
States to Germany's enemies, which
was denounced as violation of the
spirit of neutrality by the president
of the alliance, Dr. c. j. Hexamer OF
Philadelphia at the first days session
Resolutions dealing with this subject
it is expected, will be presented today
Officers of the organization have
stated that the alliance was opposed to
NATIONWIDE prohibition. and some OF
them said this sentiment probably
would be crystallized in definite reso-
luton today.

offices in the alliance was expected and
