SAYS KITCHENER HOLDS
CONFIDENCE OF EMPIRE
Tribute Paid by Attorney General,
Following Appeal for
More Recruits.

LONDON. July 1o.-FolIowing Field
Marshal Earl kitcheners speech yes

which he appealed for more. and still
more" men. the attorney general. Sir
Edward Carson. IN moving a vote of
thanks to Earl Kitchener, said. in an
awer to a section OF the British press
which recently has been attacking the
war minister:
1T Is enough to say of him that he
possesses the absolute confidence of
every colleague in the cabinet. and.
what 10 more. the absolute confidence
and unfiinching devotion of q grateful
nation. / do not know a poorer serv-
ics any ono could give his country than
to attempt TO shake the confidence of
the nation in Lord Kitchener"
Sir Edward concluded: voluntary
recruiting is now on its trial. Does
any one doubt II it fails that we shall
Urged to Join Colors.
In closing his appeal for recruits Lord
Kitchener particularly addressed him
self to persons now engaged in pa
triottc or other useful work who found
in this work an excuse for not Joining
the army. For instance, there are
many special constables OF military
age. All such he urged to search their
conscience and to ask themselves II
they really had a valid excuse for not
Joining the army.
1t Is not for me TO tell you your
duty. that is matter for your con
science. the secretary of war said
But make up your mind and do so
quickly, and be certain your so-called
reason is not Il selfish excuse. 1t has
been well said that in every man $
life there is one supreme hour 10 which
all his earlier experience moves, ana
from which all future results may be
reckoned
Solemn Hour Is Striking.
For every individual Briton as well
as for our national existence that SOL
emn hour is now striking. Let us take
heed of the great opportunity it Of

must grasp now and at once or never.
Let each man of us see that we
spare nothing. shirk nothing and shrink
from nothing, II only we may lend our
full weight 10 the impetus which shall
carry to victory the cause of our honor
and Of our freedom

High Water Does Damage.

Washing over hundreds o. acres of
wheat and corn, NARROWING families,
blockading roads and damaging fences,
flood which last night threatened
to surpass anything of its kind of the
year, ragged throughout the Frederick
county last night Not until last even
ing had the rivers and streams thru
out the county swollen to alarm
ing proportions. In some sections the
Monocacy river was reported to be
raising at more than a foot an hour
at II o'clock and at midnight. Near
Ceresville the Monocacy and tribu-
taries were reported to be nearly 20
feet above normal.
In less than three days l.62 inches
of rain has fallen in Frederick county
This precipitation exceeds by far the
average rainfall for a month. This
quotation was received from the Buck
ingham Industrial School and was a
report of the rainfall from Sunday I'M
til last evening at Z o'clock.
Because of the unusually heavy rain
which was general throughout the
county and which fell the entire day
the rivers had at midnight continu-
ed to raise. The waters will probably
not reach their height until some time
this morning because of the rain of
the afternoon.
The Potomac river at Brunswick
last night begans to show the effects
of the rain throughout the state. The
waters were raising steadily Orders
were sent out to canal boats and
freighters to be on the lookout for
high water at Williamsport.

Will See and Talk by Telephone

Predicting that the years of appa--
ent futile experiments would one day
suddenly materialize and the general
public would be able to see as we'll
as talk over telephones, Alexander
Graham Bell, inventor of the telo,.
phone, talked Interestingly Monday night
to reporter of a Frederick newspaper
of the future of the telephone and
its relationship to the advancement of
business. When asked if anythin,,
defirite had been done relative to the
invention of system whereby It
would be possible to secure sight over
telephone, the aged inventor, smil-
ing, said that nothing had been ap-
parently accomplished, although many
had been working on the idea.
Mr.. Bell said that wireless telc-
phones have been invented. The
one detriment to the practical use Of
such telephone system, said Mr.. Bel,
is that all conversations are to be
public.
Mr.. Bell was accompanied by Mrs
Bell and his two daughters and sons
in-law, Mr.. and Mrs Gilbert H. Gros-
venor, and Mr.. and Mrs. David Fair
child, all of Washington. Mr.. Gros-
venor is editor of the Geographical
Magazine of Washington, and Mr..
Fairchild is in the Department of Ag-
riculture.
Monday the party went to Mt. Oil.
ivet cemetery and stood at the graves
of Francis Scott Key and of Barbara
Fritichie. Mr.. Bell was enthusiastic
over the trip Zone of my daughters
stood at the grave of Barbara Fritchis
and recited the poem, and the other
read 1.-THE Star-Spangled Banner" at
the grave of Francis Scott Key"
Later in the evening the party. ex-
cepting Mr.. Bell, went to Braddock
Heights. 81 think I'll go to the
movies tonight" smiled Mr.. Bell early
in the evening.
This is the second time that Mr.. and
Mrs. Bell have visited Frederick with
in a short period On the first trip
Mr.. Bell visited the local telephone
office.
Tall, upright and with a flowing
white beard, Mr.. Bell attracted con-
siderable attention last evening. Some
recognized the inventor from photo
graphs or from descriptions.

DRESIDENT WILSON has indeed
shown himself to be a most re-

shown himself to be a most re-
markable man in the present dis
tressing situation that this government
finds itself in with relation to Germany
and Mexico. What our President has
gone through is enough to try the soul
of a man of iron, and even with his
strong advisers, the position he now oe-
cupies is one that might try the nerve
and patience of anyone. OF course in
accepting the position of Chief Magis-
trate of this country, he assumed all the
responsibilities that such a position would
bring to him. but no one ever dreamed
that such a lamentable condition would
be the outcome Of man inhumanity to
man, and business and financial Jealous
les between nations. Following close
upon the President staunch stand for
remedial legislation to do away with the
ills this country suffered from high tariff
and bad finances, came the death Of hi.

terrible blow, and from which one does
