Pastor of U. B. Congrega-
ton Hopes for Consumma-
ton of Union.

Final meetings by committees to
effect merger of the United Brethren
and the Methodist Protestant churches,
involving a combined membership of
100000, were held in Indianapolis to-
day in the Claypool hotel. The action
for the consolidation on the part Of
the Methodist Protestant church re-
1uires no further approval, but the
matter will have to be left to a refer
endum vote of the U. B. church.
II the merger is affected, the name
of the church will be changed to Unit
ed Protestant church.
Rev. H. S. James, pastor Of the
Richmond U. B. church, Is heartily in
favor Of the proposed consolidation,
and said: II would like to see the
merger brought about. Attempts have
been made for the last six years to
combine the two churches, and though
1t has not been viewed with displeas-
ure in Indiana, the congregations of
some of the churches in the east have
not been in favor of it, Some new basis
not yet proposed, will have to be de-
cided upon before union can be made.
! have not discussed the matter with
my congregation, but believe the mem
bers will be in favor Of the merger"

RIDDER DOUBTS AIR
ATTACK ON ENGLAND
BY GERMAN FORCES

Local Germans who heard Herman
Ridder, New York newspaper man and
author of articles on the war which
have appeared in many journals since
the outbreak Of the conflict, lecture at
Dayton a few evenings ago, brought
home the information that this jour
nalist does not believe Germany will
attack England by air and sea.
II can see nothing but German vic
tory" he told one Of the German citi-
zens of Richmond who met him. Ger
many, up to this time, has used only
35 per cent of her men. She can con-
tinue to maintain an army of four mil
lion men in the field. The French
have already summoned all the men
they can get. Great Britain will never
have more that $4,000 men in the
field. Russia can summon many men,
but she has not the facilities of equip
ping them and of supplying her forces
with ammunition"
Asked about his opinion of Secretary
Bryan, Mr. Ridder answered, you
can not change the policy of an ad-
ministration but you can change the
administration"

towing yelled woman who has gained

double barriers surrounding the place.
The woman has disappeared but the Judge

prevents entrance to secret door. Bella
dies. The judge awakes. Miss Weeks
explains to him what has occurred during
MS seizure. He secretly discovers the
whereabouts of the yelled woman. She
proves to be the widow Of a man tried
before the judge and electrocuted for muir

Mr.. Black said nothing; he was feel
ing trifls cheap-something which
did not agree with his crusty nature.
Not having seen Mrs. Scoville for a
half-hour without her veil. her infiu-
ence over him was on the wane. and
he began to regret that he had laid
himself open to this humiliation.
She saw that 1t would be left for her
to wind up the interview and get out
Of the place without arousing too
much much attention. With a self
possession which astonished both men,
knowing her immense interest in this
matter, she laid down the stick, and,
with gentle shrug of her shoulders,
remarked in an easy tone:
well, it's curious! The ms and
outs of crime. mean. Such a dis
covery ten years after the event Il

way to make up for "The Marriage Of

BANKS WILL GET SECURITIES.
But Court OF Appeals Holds Vandiver
Was Riqht.

State Treasurer Murray Vandiver
will be directed to return to the
Fidelity Savings Bank of Frostburg
and two other banks of Allegany coun-
ty certain bonds and other securities
which they have been compelled to file
with him under an old act of the Leg
islature. This controversy has been
in the courts now for more than a
year. The original action, suit for
mandamus, was filed in the Circuit
Court for Anne Arundel county. That
tribunal denied the petition and an APP
peal was made to the Appellate Court
There was no remedial measure when
the question was first raised, but the
Legislature of 1914 passed an act max
ing it possible for the surrender of
the deposits to the banks. In revers-
ing the lower court and remanding the
case that an order granting the man
damus might be passed, the Court of
Appeals, in its opinion, states that
Treasurer Vandiver was only exercis-
ing plain duty in refusing to COM
ply with the demands of the banking
officials; that by so doing without an
order of court the possibility of his
being charged with dereliction of duty
was presented. The opinion was pre-
pared by Judge Stockbridge.

GERMANY'S COMMANDMENTS APP.
Piled TO MARYL AND.
(By G. H. Afford, College Park, Md.l

Bismarck, the great German states
man, began the movement which led
to Germany's industrial supremacy
when he worked out and finally adopt
ed the notices: Made in Germany"
Germany has room enough and work
enough for all her children" "A
home for every German" Through
these notices the government ap-
pealed to the patriotism of her peo
pie; assisted materially in keeping
her money at home, and at the same
time increasing tremendously her
home trade.
AS an effect of this great industrial
movement, Germany's emigration was
practically stopped; in fact, she gained
ON an average of about nine thousand
per year over and above the number
OF Germans moving out. This in itself
was a great benefit to the country by
keeping her young manhood at home.
Through the years leading up to
Germany's position of wealth num-
Der of commandments were adhered
to. These commandments would ap-
ply to Maryland as well as to the great
nation like Germany The Kaiser's
trade commandments. revised for
Maryland, follows:
/. Always buy Marylandmade
goods in preference to a foreign arti-
Gle.
Q. Always remember that the pur
chase of Observation-Disclosures articles
takes many out of Maryland and in
jures home industries.
8. Always keep your money at
home where it will do the most good.
a. Serve no foreign goods on your
table.
s. Maryland corn. grown by the
Maryland farmer, on Maryland soil,
ground by the Maryland miller, makes
bread good enough for the best.
s. Read Maryland newspapers.
filed with Maryland news. and
patronize their advertisers.
7. Invest your savings in the lead
ing Maryland public service and in
dustrial corporations.
s. Teach Maryland womanhood
that Vienna gowns and Partisan hats
are not suitable for Maryland climate.
9. AS much as possible wear Mary
land clothes on your back and Mary
land shoes on your feet
TO- BY insisting that the notices
Made In Maryland" and Grown in
Maryland" shall determine your pur-
chase, you promote Maryland in
dustries; keep employed Maryland la
Dor; make use of Maryland capital
distribute at home your Maryland
money.
