Europe's Women, Celibate

tions Open New Lines of
Effort, Says Economics
Expert.

faFr ,HOCGH the point has been
raised that the numbers Of
unmarried women in Eu-
rope after the war will be
one of its disastrous results, 1t will
be proven that these very celibate
women are 10 be leaders Of their
sex-the flying squadrons VI social
service"
Miss, Emily Green Balch, professor
of economics at Wellesley College,
was talking about the effect OF the
women Miss Balch was delegate
to the woman's Peace Conference
at The Hague, and special envoy,
with Mime schwimmer. to the Scan
dinaVian countries.
The evidence has all been gathered
from original sources, for Miss
Ralch is iinRuist of no mean abil-
ity. At The Hague conference she
sstnnlshed the women by addressing
them first In English. then in
French then in German. spurning
the services Of an interpreter, and
by an intimate study Of various
Slavic peoples she has ACQUIRED quite
notable collection of obscure dla-
lects.
Three Military 4ges.
Miss Ralch oontinued:
There have been three military
aees-the so-cAllcd age Of chivalrv.
the age Of standing armies and pro-
fessional soldiers. and the present
age OF universal conscription and
competitive armaments.
During the age OF chivalrv there
was decided tendency to elevate
the status OF women. The worship
Of the mother of God; the fact that
the unarmed were at the mercy Of
the armed: the veneration of page
and squire for their lady. and tho
power acquired by the management
of the castle for long periods while
at the wars--a!l these helped 10
raise the position of the women at
the time. Added to this was the code
Of noble behavior for men. This code
failed to reach beyond the upper
circle of society. and the man whose
chivalrv would not allow him to see
lady bend to pick up her handker-
chief was not affected hy the sight
OF aswoman scrubbing the flor on
her knees.
"The second period gives a glimpse
OF the mailed warrior striding along
with his wife meekly trotting be-
hind with her market basket--the
age OF chivalry was over. YOU see.

And now comes the woman OF the
present war. There is something OF
a return to the old chivalrous atti-

Judge Motter Dead.

On Saturday last, after an illness
extending over nearly two years, for
mer Judge John c. Motter, of Fred
erick city, passed away.
Judge Motter suffered a paralytlc
stroke at the close of election day
November, 1913, after a very siren
uous campaign in which he was in
tensely interested, a fight which had
he not made, it is possible that he
might still be with us.
Judge Motter has been a prominent
figure in Frederick county for the
past forty years, having held the Of
flee of States Attorney for Frederick
County for two consecutive terms,
then running for Associate Judge OF
the Circuit Court in the Sixth Judic-
ial Circuit but was defeated by small
majority; he ran again in 1891 and
was elected and served his full term
of fifteen years.
He was a lawyer of marked ability
keen, quick and alert. He wds by
far the best trial lawyer at the Fred
erick bar in his time and upon his
elevation to the bench, it was with
great difficulty that he restrained
himself from getting into the law
yers battle line" at the trial table.
Few of his decisions were reversed
by the Court of Appeals, and it is
generally conceded that Judge Mot
ter strove very earnestly to arrive at
the equity and right of every matter
that came before him while on the
bench. He was a political power in
Frederick county politics, and while
he was the head of the Republican
party for Frederick county the Dem
ocratic party had little chance Of
electing any of their candidates. He
clearly outgeneraled the Democratic
leaders at every juncture.
Upon his elevation to the bench,
Judge Motter had the opportunity to
lay down the political reins which he
held so long, but the rank and file
of the Republican party still seemed
to demand that he be their chicftain,
so that up until the fatal stroke, he
continued to be the dominant factor
in the Republican party in the coun-
ty.
Judge Motter was big hearted and
kind to fault, and had a host Of
friends in the county and State who
will greatly miss him.

Cornerstone Centennial
Celebration.
Baltimore Planning Celebration
July 4th, 1915.


At this time plans are being worked
out by the societies of Son and Daugh-
ters of the Revolution and Sons and
Daughters of the War of 1912, for the
commemoration of the One Hundredth
anniversary of the laying of the corner
stone of Washington Monument in Balti-
more. The cornerstone Of this monu-
ment was laid July A, 1916, and the mon
ument was the first in this country to be
erected to the memory of George Wash
ington.
No program has as yet been given out.
The following extracts are taken from
the Baltimore Sun:
"a monument to George Washington
was first proposed by number of Balti-
more's prominent citizens, to be erected
on the site of the old arched courthouse,
which had been torn down. Their idea
was to prevent the erection of some ugly
building on the site, which is now occu-
pied by the Battle Monument.
''This plan was given up, but
the managers of the enterprise decided
not to let it fall through and, due to the
generosity of John Eager Howard, who
donated not only the site of the monu-
ment, but also the space now covered by
Mount Vernon and Washington Places,
they secured second and more suitable
location.
"An act authorizing the formation OF
lottery was passed through the efforts
of John Comegys. James A. Buchanan
and others in order to raise money, not
exceeding 500, 200. for the erection OF
the monument. Various delays occurred
the greatest of these being the War OF
1912, but the cornerstone was finally laic
on July 4th, 100 years ago.
"l'he celebration began at daybreak
when 80 guns were fired in commemora
tion of the number of years that hadpass
ed since the Declaration of independence
At 10 O'Clock the various military corps
and bodies of Freemasons began to as
semble At ll.30 O'Clock they all moved
in procession up Baltimore street tt
Howard street. and from there to How
ard Park, where they took their stand
around the site of the monument.
AT IL O'Clock the ceremonies begar
with the playing of national airs by "a
volunteer band of amateurs. This was
followed by second salute of 80 guns,
an address by James A. Buchanan, pres
ldent of the committee, and prayer by
Bishop Kemp. The cornerstone.was ther
placed 'agreeably to Masonic ceremony,
and benediction was pronounced by the
Rev. DR.. Inglis, the whole concluding
with a grand salute of 100 guns by the
artillery and three fires Of joy by the in
fantry.'
"The cornerstone was laid by Governor
Levin Winder who was also Grand Mas
ter of Masons
''There were present at the ceremony
of the laying of the cornerstone about
30, 600 people.
The weather of the Fourth of July l0C
years ago was very pleasant and not al
all hot The celebration extended far
into the evening.
The last piece. constituting the bust,
was raised in position in the presence OF
