"The moral surely Is this: No POI
lice system, however efficient, can
give an absolute guarantee against
murder; no treaty, no code Of inter.
national law, of civilized warfare, or Of
honor can protect against those who
regard them as scraps Of paper. The
only effective sanction for peace or for
decent warfare is to deprive those
who refuse to be bound of their power
to break their word, their convention,
or law"
Admiral Mahan, acknowledged as
the greatest authority on naval mat
tiers, has the following on the same
subject:
"The control of the sea, however
real, does not imply that an enemy's
single ships or small squadrons can
not steal out Of port, cannot cross
more or less frequented tracts of
ocean, make harassing descents upon
unprotected points of long coast
line, enter blockaded barbors. On the
contrary, history has shown that slch
eyasions are always possible, to some
extent, to the weaker party, however
great the inequality OF naval
strength"

Prince Georges Bank.

Announcement was made last week
by the Prince Georges Bank, of Hyatts-
vile, of the estab lishment of branch
to receive deposits in the postottlce at
Mt. Rainier. Postmaster Edward J.
Walsh, by special permission of the
Postofice Department will be in charge
of the Mt. Rainier branch of the Prince
Georges Bank.
The Mt. Rainier branch has been es-
tablished by the Prince Georges Bank
for the convenience of the merchants
and people of Mt Rainier. who hereto
fore have been without any banking
facilities whatever. Postmaster Walsh,
who is a bonded officer of the Prince
Georges Bank, will have complete
charge of the Mt. Rainier branch. Fol
sometime the business men and citizens
of Mt. Rainier have been desirous OF
the establishment of this banking facil-
ity which will enable them to do a
banking business in Mt. Rainier, where
heretofore they have had to travel to
Hyatts, lille or even to Washington to
transact banking business.
This is the second branch establish
ed by the Prince Georges Bank. the
first one having been inauguralhd last
month in the store of McNamee Broth
ars, at Berwyn. The Berwyn branch
of the Prince Georges Bank has proved
to be big convenience to the people OF
Berwyn and is doing 4 fourlshine
business.
Other branches are soon to be estab
lished throughout the county by the
Prince Georges Bank. Though no
quite three months old, having beeI
established October Ist last. the Prince
Georges Bank has already made I
great success in Hyattsville ant
throughout the county. Starting will
with a capital $4,000 which was owe
subscribed, with surplus tund of one
fourth of the capital stock, the Primo
Georges Bank is now a $50 900 institu
ton and in rapidly approaching tn
$Ioo, 900 mark.
