such church clubs as were doing a

together in a fedration when repre-
sentatives from each club would meet
in central place at stated intervals
to discuss lLatters for the general
good of the county and by this means
bring before the people matters Of
general interest. He strongly urged
that all the community organizations
of Cecil county would come together
in one large organization and to bet

social life of the whole county.
The Elk Neck Community Club is
setting the pace for all other clubs and
country organizations to follow, as it
has only been organized few weeks
and has already taken hold of wor;
in real earnest. At their last meeting
committee was appointed, the men,
bers of which were instructed to call
on the schools in the vicinity at least
once month in order to cooperate
with the teacher and report to the
Club.

large quantity of damaged corn, oats

care is exercised an outbreak may be

Horses and mules of all ages are

In poisoning and depression of the
nervous system from eating or drink
ing food or water containing poison
generated by mold or bacteria. 1t has
been shown to be due to eating dam

oats, ETC., or to drinking stagnant
pond water. Horses at pasture may
contract this disease from eating
moldy straw from stacks in the field

Under these circumstances care
should be taken that no moldy or
musty feed is given to the horses that
the bedding is clean and sweet and
hat there are no hay or straw stacks
in the pasture, as the outside of these
are likely to be more or less damaged
The danger from the rank growth of
grass is not so great as the farmers
usually keep sufficient livestock to
keep them cropped close but if this
has not been done the pastures should
be carefully inspected

CONTINUING THE LIGHT.

The want of space, during the last
few weeks, compelled US to interrupt
our publication of the series of arti-
cles We were running from the pen of
a Baltimore Sun reporter, on extrava-
gance and waste in our State Govern
ment. We resume those articles this
week and hope to complete them with
out further interruption.
We are glad to discover that many
of the WHIG'S intelligent readers
have been following the articles close
ly. The people must know before they
can act-with judgment and discrimi-
nation. We want the people to know.
Just let them know, and they can be
trusted to do the rest.

Paris, March "A French cruiser
has arrested the American steamer
Dacia In the channel and taken her to
Brest. This announcement is official
ly made.
Washington, March 2.-Oficials here
were tremendously interested to learn
that the American cotton steamer Da-
cha, formerly of the Hamburg-Ameri-
can line, flying the German flag. had
been seized by a French cruiser and
taken to Brest. The capture Of the
Dacia causes no surprise in Washing
ton, and even the fict that a French
instead of an English warship would
take her into custody had been fore
seen. But this ~trsHsfer of the ques-
ton of the ships status combined with
the already intricate points in the Da-
cha transfer firm German to american
reyigtry bids fair to make an interna-
tic Ial case of unusual interest.
Edward N. Breitung, an American,
bought the Dacia from the Hamburg
American company, secured American
registry, replaced the German crew
and undertook to lay down a cargo OF
cotton in the German port of Bremen
The German destination of the Dacis
on her first voyage under American
registry aroused British fears les
American registry be used simply as 6
shield to permit the ship to reach {
German port, where she would resume
her discarded nationality. To NEE
this objection Nj. Breitung changed
his routing to the Dutch port of Rot
terdam.

New York, March Am attempt to
blow up st. Patrick's cathedral with a
bomb and the arrest of two men by de-
tectives on Tuesday who had been in
formed for months of their activ-
tiles was followed by an announce
ment made at police headquarters that
the arrests had thwarted an anarchist
plot to kill with bombs Andrew Carne-
gle, John d. Rockefeller, John D.
Rockefeller, Jr., and other wealthy
men. Thereafter the anarchists, ac-
cording to the police, were to start in
New York city a reign of terror COM
parable only to the days of the French
revolution.
1t was part of the plot, the police as
sert, for gangs of men armed with
rifles and revolvers to appear stimuli
~taneously in various parts of the city
to shoot and to pillage; the biggest
banks of New York city we're to be
blown up and many wealthy men were
to be slain.
The wrecking of the cathedral was
to be the signal for the opening of the
elaborate campaign of murder and
looting.
With the capitalists disposed of, the
anarchists planned, according to the
police statement, to invade the fnan'
cial district and lay their bombs in the
city's biggest banks. General footing
was to follow.
For months a central office detective
had worked in the inner circle of the
anarchists, according to the police
story, and had kept the detective blu
reau informed of all their plans. This
detective, Frank Baldo, assisted in the
manufacture of the bomb with which
the attempt was made to blow up the
cathedral. The detective accompanied
the bomb thrower to the ediice ant
sat with him when he lighted the bomt
and hurled it at the altar.
Immediately the cathedral, in which
800 persons sat at worship, became
alive with detectives. Baldo placed
him under arrest. Detectives dashed
forward and stamped out the sputter
ing fuse. There was no panic.
The alleged bomb thrower said b,
was Frank Abarno, a photographer
t~wenty-four years old. Charles Car
bone, an eighteen-year-old boy, wa
arrested and charged with complicit,
in the plot.

Allies Declare Germany Substitutes
lndiscrimlnSte Destruction for
Regulated Capture.

London, March 3.-Premier AsQuith
announced in the house of commons
on Monday that the government had
decided to prevent commodities OF
any kind from reaching Germany or
leaving that country.
This means that no foodstuffs of
any kind will be allowed to reach Ger
many. The embargo will also be eX-
tended to raw materials.
This action was taken by the British
government in retaliation for Ger
many's submarine warfare against
English merchant ships.
England will now try to starve Ger
many into submission. 1t is believed
that the embargo of the British gov
terials will increase the activities Of
the German submarine in the bread
war" against England. In making the
momentous announcement, Premier
Asquith said:
There is no form of economic pres
sure which we do not consider our
selves entitled to assert under exist
ing conditions"
Premier Asquith, in speaking of Ger
many's submarine war, declared:
Germany has taken a step without
precedence in organizing a campaign
of piracy and pillage.
This is not the time to talk peace
Those who do so are the victims Of
self-delusion. The allies will never
sheath the sword till all objects
wherefore they have gone to war have
been achieved"

The resolution as adopted by the

VIEW WITH ALARM
Democrats Recognizing BIunders

Men Like Thomas Taggart Of Indiana
Ar Beginning to See the Light
Appeal for a More Con.
structIve Attitude.

An interview with Mr.. Thomas Tag
CART Is suggestive in several directions
and in non more strikingly han in
that of national politics.
MI. Taggart's immediate purpose Is
to invite attention to the important
bearing of railway prosperity to the
welfare of all the rest Of US; but be-
tween the lines one may read, without
violence to the context, a subtle ap-
peal to the Democratic party for a
mor sensible and constructive atti-
tude toward business, big and little.
The truth is that the Democratic
party, under the guise of so-called
"progressivism" or forward looking"
is rapidly approaching the lamentable
situation in which it labored for long
years, beginning with 1896. when
every man who had a dollar hoped for
continued Republican ascendancy.
Men of property and influence, like
Taggart and many other Democrats
who could readily be named by any
one, are becoming alarmed.

fare OF the whole people, themselves
included. What is it going to profit
Democrats of property and standing
in the community if they assist the
Democratic party into power only to
injure and perhaps destroy their OWL
and their neighbors' prosperity?
For the Democratic party, in state
or nation, to assume the friendly atti
tude toward business indicated in Mr.
Taggart's argument for increased pas
senger fares might bring down upor
it the objurgations of the destructive
agltators OF which the party always
has SO large and varied an assert

time the disaster which seems certain
