ltaly's joining the war is OF the
greatest and most vital Importance.
Italy can put a powerful navy and a
we'll equipped army OF three millions
into the field, and by drawing off from
the east and west large armies OF the
Germans and Austrians will expedite
the certain result OF the war.
Roumana, Greece and Bulgaria must
now join for their own advantage and
security. All three powers have strong
war-tried armies, and they Will make

citizens as protection for the ammuni-
ton aboard. and acted against the clear
provisions OF the American law which
expressly prohibits the forwarding OF
passengers on ships carrying ammuni-
ton and provides a penalty therefor.
The company. therefore. is wantonly
guilty OF the death OF so many passen
gers.
There can be no doubt. according to
the definite report OF the submarines
commander. which is further confirmed
by all other information. that the quick
sinking OF the Lusitania is primarily
attributable TO the explosion OF the
ammunition shipment caused by tor

otherwise. in all human probability,

Company A to Visit Baltimore.

Company A, M. N. G., this city, will
go to Baltimore the last of this week
to take part in the exercises being
arranged for the benefit of the Com
munity Relief Fund. 1t has not been
decided what part the Frederick boys
will have, but their standing among
the State companies will probably
give them prominent place.
An elaborate program has been ar
ranged to show the public some of the
accomplishments of the soldier boys.
Three war-strength companies of in
fantry will show how body of troops
goes into camp at night, to prepare
for the establishment of permanent
camp the following morning. They
will march on to the drill surface at
the armory with wagon trains, just as
they would march to a camp site in
a field. The men will pitch shelter
tents and fix themselves for the night
Guards will be posted and taps
sounded. The armory will then be
plunged into darkness. A few minutes
later the lights will be turned on and
the first call for reveille in the morn
ng sounded by trumpeter The sold
iers will turn out and prepare for a
days work in the field. First there
will be the sick call. Details will be
sent out to forage for wood and other
supplies, and company cooks will be-
gin to prepare breakfast on field ovens
to be set up i'll the camp.
The men will be put through the
Setting up" exercises, and then the
mess call will be sounded. This will
bring the soldiers scurrying to the
ovens with their mess kits, from
which they will eat breakfast exactly
as they would in the field.
After breakfast the men will begin
to establish permanent camp, haul
ing the tents and other equippage
from the wagons and the erection of
large tents and putting in COTS A
full days routine will be gone through
with, including the always interesting
ceremony of guard mount, posting the
guard, drills and other work.

No Abstinence for Catholics.

For the first time in the history Of
the Catholic Church members of that
denomination will be permitted to eat
meat during an entire week. Owing to
special dispensation of Pope Plus x,
made just before his death, New
Years Day, when it falls on Friday,
is not to be regarded as day of abb
stinence.
This dispensation also lifted the
ban on the eating of meat on Friday
when Christmas falls on that day, but
on the day before Christmas no meat
can be eaten. The day before New
Years Day is not one Of abstinence
and therefore it will be unnecessary
for Catholics to refrain from the use
of meat any day during this week.
This is the first time since the dispen-
sation that New Year has fallen on
Friday.
On New Years Day two masses will
be celebrated by the rector the Rev.
w. J. Kane, at st. Johns Church, in
this city. The first will be at Z
o'clock in the morning and High Mass
will be sung at 10 o'clock. Fol-
lowing the high mass Benediction Of
the Blessed Sacrament will be solemn
ized.
In the afternoon the Sunday school
will make it annual visit to the crib
in the church, after which the schol-
ars will receive their Christmas treat,
in the hall.

Reserve Bank Notes Annear.

The first of the new Federal Re-
serve Bank notes to be seen in Fred
erick was deposited in the Farmers
and Mechanics National Bank Tues
day in the ordinary course of business.
Local financiers have made an eff
fort for advertising purposes, to OBJ
tain the new notes from banks in New
York and other cities, but they have
not been able to get any. They are
regularly issued only when paper is
rediscounted at the Federal Reserve
Banks.
The new Federal Reserve notes are
regarded as the most artistic and
practical in design ever issued by
the United States Government. On
the face of the five dollar note is por-
trait of Lincoln, while the face of
Jackson decorates the diverse side of
the ten dollar note. Portraits of
Cleveland, Grant and Franklin are
used on the twenties, fifties and hun
dreds. On the reverse side are de-
signs which are said to furnish the
greatest possible protection against coun
terfeittng.

POSTPONE PAYMENT.

Baltimore, Dec. 30-The financial
district had something Of shock this
afternoon when the announcement
came from New York that the West
ern Maryland Railwaywould defer the
payment of the semi-annual interest
on the $16,000,000 of notes which is
due January 1.
The amount of interest is $415000,
and further instalment of the in
terest will become due July l, 1915,
when the principal Of the notes is
also due. In statement the finan-
cial officers of the company say:
I'm order that these temporary OBJ
legations might be permanently cap
ltalized, as originally intended, and
at the same time permanent provis-
ion made for future financial require
ments through establishment of suit
able capital machinery, the railway
company has had under consideration
for some time past the adoption and
submission of plans for financial re-
adjustment embracing separation Of
the properties.
Progress of these plans, owing TO
large ownership by the Deutsohe Bank
OF Berlin of Western Maryland secur-
tiles, has been temporarily checked
through outbreak of war in Europe
and the railway company has detetm-
ined that postponement of entire con-
summation of its plans is necessary
pending restoration of more normal
conditions.
I'm view, however, of prevailing
conditions the railway company has
determined to defer interest on notes
falling due January 1, 1915, and to in
Vlte the cooperation of noteholders
to the end that comprehensive plans
OF the railway company for financial
readjustment of it's affairs may be
more speedily and effectively consum-
mated"
A noteholders' protective committee
has been formed in New York to work
in conjunction with the directors in
Strengthening out the company's af-
fairs and for the payment of the notes
at maturity, with interest.
The committee is composed of Fred
erick t. Gates, chairman; Ivy l.. Lee,
Alvin w. Krech, L. l.. Marston and e.
D. Adams. Hunter S. Marston is Sec
retary. The Bankers Trust Compa-
ny has been designated as depositary.

NATIONAL PROHIBITION
DANGEROUS, SAYS TAFT
Former President Declares 1t Is Nom
Enforceable And Would De-
strOy Local Government.

Boston, Mass, Dec. 29.-National
prohibition is a dangerous PROPOSE
ton, said former President William
H. Taft, speaking before the Bar As
sociation of Boston at its seventeenth
triennial banquet last night.
1T would revolutionize the national
government he said. "It would put
on the shoulders of the government
the duty of sweeping the doorsteps of
every home in the land. Ii national
prohibition legislation is passed, To-
cal government would be destroyed
And if you destroy local government
you destroy one of the things which
go to make for a healthy condition
of the national government.
National prohibition is non-en-
forceable; it is a confession on the
part of State governments of inability
to control and regulate their own es-
pecial business and duty; if the mat
ter were placed under federal control
it would result in creation of ma
chinery of government officials large
enough to nominate any president
and would offer too great an oppor-
tunity to persons seeking to perpet-
uate their power in Washington

EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH.

New York, Dec. 29.-Efforts made
to promote education in the Southern
states are summarized in the sixth in
stallment of the report of the gem
eral education board, founded by
John ID. Rockefeller, made public to-
night. 1t soon became clear, accord
ing to the report, that adequate de-
yelopment could not take place until
the available resources of the people
were enlarged
Rural Poverty The Drawback.
These conditions were not pri-
marily due to lack of interest in pop
ular education the report continues.
They were mainly the result of rural
poverty. While the average annual
earnings of individuals engaged in ag-
riculture in Iowa were upward of
$1,000, the average earnings of those
similarly engaged in some of tho
Southern States were as low as $3.50.
The great bulk of the people of the
Southern states were simply not
earning enough to provide proper
homes and support good schools
The SoutherA faThscfS suffered pri-
marily from lack b snoney, the re-
port says. He also lacked scientific
knowledge nk farming, and the board
therefore Proceeded ona the theory
