Hare Bill Calls For Dry Maryland
In 1918.

DIR. Thomas II. Hare, of Baltimore, super
intendent of the Anti-SalOOn League of
Maryland, predicts the greatest liquor fight
in the history of the cause during the
coming session Of the Legislature in Mary
land. The anti-liquor forces have been
canvassing every district and precinct of the
State for months and they have prepared
a bill which will give the voters of the
State the right to say whether or not they
want liquor sold in the State of Maryland.
According to the provisions of the bill
that the "drys" have prepared, If the
voters decide to abolish liquor Maryland
will be prohibition State beginning with
May, 1918.
The proposed law is patterned largely
after the laws of other dry States. If the
bill passes the coming Legislature, the fight
will be waged during the Presidential cam
paien and Maryland will have two State
wide elections within two months in the
fall of 1916.
Every delegate to be elected to the
Maryland Legislature during the coming
fall will be challenged by the Prohibition
forces.
The following is the proposed law:
ION and after May l.. 1918. it shall be
unlawful for any person or persons, social
club, firm or corporation to manufacture
for sale sell or purchase for sale tTansnort
for sale dispense or otherwise dispose
of any alcoholic, spirituous. vinOus. ferment-
ed. distilled or malt liquors or intoxicating
bitters within the State except for medici-
nal, scientific. sacramento or mechanical
purposes. as may be allowed under the
provisions of such acts as the General AS
sembly shall pass at its regular session
held next after the date Of such election
allowing such sale for such purposes. And
any person, persons, social club. firm or
corporation manufacturing. selling. dis
pensing or disposing of any alcoholic. spir-
ituous. vinOus. fermented. distilled or malt
liquors, shall be liable for all the penalties
now or hereafter prescribed for manufac-
turing. selling, dispensing or disposing Of
alcoholic spirituous, vinous. fermented.
distilled, malt and intoxicating liquors
without license"
Should this fight fail. the temperance
guns will be concentrated upon Baltimore
city and county.

Root Against Suffrage.

Despite the claims of the proponents Of
woman suffrage. who, ii is said, have been
connecting his name with the advance
ment of their propaganda, former United
States Senator Elihu Root is not in favor
of votes for women"
The attitude of the former Secretary of
State and chairman of the New York Con-
stitutional Convention, was made known
recently when James r. Nugent, of New
ark, gave out strong announcement
against women in politics from the pre-
mier member Of the Taft Cabinet.
Mr.. Root says
Il am opposed to the granting of suf-
frage to women, because believe that it
would be a loss to women, to all women. and
to every woman; and because believe it
would be an injury to the State and to
every man and woman in the State.
IF there is one thing settled in the long
discussion Of this subject. it is that suffrage
is not natural right, but is simply a
means of government and the sole ques-
ton to be discussed is whether government
by the suffrage of men and women will be
better government than by the suffrage of
men alone.
THE question is, therefore. question
of expediency. question of liberty,
question Of the preservation of free con-
stitutional government, of law. order, peace
and prosperity.
Into my judgment there enters no ele-
ment of the inferiority of woman. 1t is
not. that woman is inferior to man, but it
is that woman is different from man; that
in the distribution of powers. of capabli-
ties, of qualities. our Maker has created
man adapted to the performance of other
functions.
Suffrage implies not merely the casting
of the ballot, but entering upon the field of
political life, and politics is modified war
fare.
Woman rules today by the sweet and
nobler influences of her character. Put
woman into the arena Of conflict and she
abandons these great weapons which con-
troll the world, and she takes into her hands.
feeble and nerveless for strife. weapons
with which she is unfamiliar. and which
she is unable to WELD. The true govern
ment is in the family. The true throne is
in the household. The highest exercise of
power is that which forms the conscience,
influences the will. controls the impulses
of men, and there today woman is supreme
and woman rules the world"

Silver Spring Wants Water Aud
Sewer.

A committee composed of w. B. New
man. W. W. Jordan, DIR. II. II. Hewlett and
Jos. Glover was appointed and instructed
to petition the County Commissioners to
construct water and sewerage systems at
Silver Spring at a meeting held there last
Friday night.
The County Commissioners have ex-
pressed a willingness to construct the
sewerage system. AS the plans were all
worked out and completed by survey
made last year, no delay is contemplated.
Members of the State Board of Health
who attended the meeting stated that the
gun in short time. They expressed will
ingness to cooperate with the citizens of
Silver Spring, looking to the speedy COM
pletion of both systems.
Dr. Woodruff. deputy State health officer ;
Dr. Mannar, county health officer. and Mr.
Digs, resident engineer of the State Board
of Health, delivered addresses. They said
the condition Of the water and the lack Of
suitable sewerage facilities in that locality
was a menace to the health of the citizens
and urged that no further delay in obtain
ing these improvements should be coun-
tenanced
For several years the sewerage and water
systems for that locality have been dis
cussed. but no progress made. About a
year ago several Of the property owners
organized stock company. with capital
Of $4,000, to secure suitable water sys-
TEN. but the project fell through on ac-
count Of the lack Of interest on the part Of
the majority Of the property owners. a
number Of whom claimed that the present
water facilities were sufficient, and stated
that they would not use water supplied by
the company.
At Friday nights meeting the subject Of
Incorporating Silver Spring was discussed
at some length, but il was decided to lay
this question over until some future date

It therefore again expressly states that in making payment it does not acknowledge the violations of the treaty, as contended by the American side, but it will admit that the settlement of the question of in demnity does not prejudice the ar rGngement of the differences of opinion concerning the interpretation of the treaty rights, and that this dis pute is left to be decided by The Hague tribunal of arbitration.

ANARCHY IN MEXICO
 PREDICTED BY GARZA
U. S. Warned of Result Should "First
 Chief'' Be Recognized as Ruler of Republic.

Washington, Sept. 23.-Publication today of warning by Roque Con zales Garza that recognition of Gen eral Carranza by the American na- tions would bring on anarchy in Mexico brought sharply to the atten- tion of official Washington the fight the Villa element is expected to make on any Mexican pacification plan that does not include the northern chief tain's supporters as possible factors. Garza, who was one time president of the Convention, is here to forward the peace convention plan which the Villa and Zapata elements have ac- cepted at the invitation of the Pan- American conferees.
 Recognition of Carranza, Garza declares, would result in a situation that would be terrible in it's conse- quences and he urges that the con- vention be held to establish a pro- visional government regardless o1 Carranza's refusal to participate. He says that CarranZa, next to Huerta, is the most hated man in Mexico, and predicts that, if recognized, he would prove his incapacity in a month.
 Garza describes the military situa- tion as a deadlock between the op- posing factions and denies Carranza's s claim to control the greater part of Mexican territory. Carranza's delay in removing to Mexico City, Garza as- serts, is due to fear that such a step would be followed by occupation of Vera Cruz by his enemies.

quiry whether the German gover5f1 ment will govern its naval operations in accordance with the German or the American interpretation of the treaty stipulations in question, pend-. ing the arbitral proceedings, has been. carefully considered by the German government. From the standpoint~ of law and equity it is not prevented in its opinion, from proceeding againA American. ships carrying contraband according to its interpretation until the question is settled by arbitration.
 Exception Not Established.
 For the German government does not need to depart from the applica- tion of generally recognized rules of the law of maritime war, as the Dec- laration of London, unless and in so far as an exception based on a treaty. is established beyond all doubt. In' the case of the present differences of opinion between the German and the Amrican governments such an ex- ception could not be taken to be es- tablished except on the ground of the arbitraI award. Moreover, the dis advantages to Germany which would ensue from the American interpres" talon of the treaty stipulations would be so much greater as to be out of proportion to those which the Ger man interpretation would entail, for the United States. For whereas the American interpretation. would ma- terially impede Germany in her con- duct of warfare, hardly any particu- lar disadvantage to American citizens would result from the German inter- pretation, since they receive full rep aration of any property damage s1s- tained.
 Nevertheless the German govern ment in order to furnish to the Am erican government evidence of its conciliatory attitde, has issued orders to the German naval forces not to de- stroy American merchantmen which have loaded conditional contraband even when the conditions of interna- tional law are present, but to permit them to continue their voyage unhih- dered if it is not possible to take them into port On the other hand it must reserve to itself the right to desfpS vessels carrying absolute contrab8Ia a weherever such destruction is perriiss sible according to the provisions of the Declaration of London" t
