BALTIMORE SURETY CENTRE

OF Maryland.
AT tho time when the Deutsehe
Correspondent was celebrating It's
49th anniversary | organized in TINS
city a company, which few at that
time dreamed would assume tho gi
gantic proportions which il possesses
today. When the decorous home OF
"The T.. q d." is pointed out to in
quiring visitors, few stop to think
that out OF the little acorn planted at
z North Calvert ST. has sprung the
great oak whose branches spread
out TO every city, town and hamlet in
this country, as well as into Aus
tria, England, France, Germany,
Hungary and Cuba. The Fidelity and
Deposit Company Of Maryland has
proved itself the great oducative
force through whose untiring efforts
the people Of this country were led
to see tho great benefits that would
accrue TO them through the substi-
tuition Of corporate for individual
suretyship. By dint Of its educa-
tional propaganda capital was drawn
into this new field of financial enter
prise so that as a consequence our
city became tho centre Of the surety
business, Today the Fidelity and De-
post Company gives employment to
more men and women than any other
financial institution ID this city;
while the other surety companies
which followed it our wake give em-
ployment to over one thousand men
and women Of Baltimore. From the
1873 stockholders who dared ven
ture into an undertaking that was
looked upon with many misgivings
BY those who lacked the vision we
observe a steady growth, until we
find 1900 stockholders, the great
majority OF whom are residents OF
Maryland and Baltimore City TO
whom have been returned since 1895
six millions OF dollars in dividends
The reason for the success Of tho
Fidelity and Deposit Company, which
blazed the way for corporate surety

The Magnitude Of the work Of the

be estimated when / state that IL has
guaranteed the honesty and fidelity
OF one million two-hundred thirty

life; it has become surety on twenty
thousand bonds for executors, adj
minisrators, guardians, trustees, and
other fiduciaries; the faithful per-
Torrance Of one-hundred-fifty
sand contracts Including the erection
of some Of the largest and most pro-
minent edifices oi the country, has

Maryland my sincere and heartfelt
appreciation Of the generous and con-
stant support they have given the
Fidelity and Deposit Company. for

today one of the persons submitting
to the sacrifice was Mr.. Archbold's
personal chauffeur. The identity Of the
three others could not be learned.
! Mrs. Archbold in ignorance of the
+ seriousness of her husbands condi-
ton, is with him. John d. Rockefeller
today abandoned his contemplated
trip to Lakewood that he might be at
| the side of his colleague. William
Rockefeller is equally concerned and
kept in constant telephone communi-
cation with the Archbold house.
! Although members OF the family
simulated an air Of optimism last
night attaches OF the Archbold
household confessed that the noted
magnate was not expected to survive
+ the sunrise. They declared that the
I physicians in attendance attribute
Mr.. Archbold's survival of the day TO
his rugged physique and his con-
served vitality.
I With Mrs. Archhold constantly are
I her daughter and son. They are de-
voting their time to buoying the
spirits OF their mother. They with
held the news of the transfusions
| from her.
Mr.. Archbold was operated upon on

/ four hours elapsed before he would
permit the calling of the family ply

We're at the side of the operating
table when DR.. Brewer removed the
appendix.
At that time it was declared that
despite his advanced years Mr.. Arch
bold possessed more than an even
chance to recover, but he began to
lose ground and on Wednesday night
he began sinking so rapidly that the
surgeons refused to leave his side.
| Although no details were forthcom-
ing from the house it was declared
that the most heroic efforts to defeat
impending death were resorted to.
/ DR.. Brewer declined tonight to COM
ment upon the condition of his noted
patient referring all inquiries to the
family.

mann II olIweg today appeared in the
Reichstag in connection with the in
PRODUCTION OF the bill marshalirg the
civil population of the empire in &C
tive cooperation with the military
and naval forces.
At the opening OF the session the
president OF the Reichstag offered the
fluctuations OF the house TO the
chancellor on the occasion of the lat
ter's birthday,
Throughout the day the enclosure
in front Of the chancellors palace was
the scene Of "A procession of carriages
bringing visitors who came TO con-
graduate Dr. Won Behmann- Hollweg.
Among these were the Crown Prince
and the Kaiser's only daughter. the
Duchess of Brunswick A curious
throng crowdtng Wilheltnstrassse
watched the distinguished callers
The chancellor seat in the Reich
stag was decorated with chrysa nthe-
NUNS.
. In introducing the epoch making
bill. and in expressing the conviction
that II would find the whole hearted
support OF the entire empire the
chancellor reiterated that Germany
was ready for peace---a peace. he en-
phaslzed. that would guarantee Ger

Again he placed the blame for the
continuance OF the war squaroly upon
the shoulders Of Germany's enemies.
In doing 20, he alluded Ironically to
what he described as false hopes
among the entente powers. Last sum
mer. he pointed out. was celebrated
blythe allies as "a period of victory"
Nevertheless the German lines are un-
broken everywhere. he added and,
referring to Rumania, he said that
nation lis now atoning for what she
did"
Then the chancellor launched into
AN eloquent plea for a nationwide CO.
operation in the manufacture of war
material. He pointed to the superior
ity OF numbers on the entente side and
to the fact that almost the whole
world delivers war material TO them.
To Offset these gigantic advantages
OF Germany's enemies. the chancellor
said. was the main function of the
man power bill. Every hand that
was idle in the empire he en-
phasized, was aiding the Fatherlands
foes"
Speaking in behalf Of Germany's
armed forces. war minister Won Stein
then supported the chanCellor's plea
for the bill.

The town of Comana (Tzemana),
halfway between Giurgui and Buch-

connecting the two cities at a point
sixteen miles to the south of the
capital, has fallen into Teuton hands
1t lies only twelve and one half miles
south of Bucharest's outer ring OF
fortlhcations. Its loss was admitted
by the Russian war Office yesterday.
AS the statement covers Wednesdays
operations, Il Is safe to estimate that
in the twelve hours the forces of Gem

Bucharest from the south. have made
considerable further Roadway, and
that the bombardment Of the fortress
will begin before noon today The
Lokai Anxeiger's informs.> on that the
civil population of Bucharest is given
five days TO leave the fortress area in
dicates that the capital will be de-
Tended. The numerical strength Of
the defenders is matter of guess
work, but it liz more than proba BILE
that whatever the Rumaniaus could
save in artillery and ammunition in
their recent reverses on all fronts have
been accumulated in the capital for a
defense to the finish.
Three Rivers Intervene.

Altogether the combined forces OF
Falkenhayn and Mackenson took In

under the era Of prohibition. witness
ed q most radical change in police
circles in Richmond, the arrests made
by the Police Department showing
decrease OF 529 under the total for
the month Of October when under
the wet regime 1853 arrests for all
offenscs Were made in the city. Com
pared with November OF 1915 there
were 325 fewer arrests made last
month.
Standing out prominently IN the
police records is the fact that during
last month only siSty-two arrests
We're made for drunkenness, and six
teen drunk and disorderly persons
taken into custody. which totals
seventy-eight arrests Of Intoxicated
persons There We're 207 persons ar
rested in October charged with being
drunk loe OF these being charged
with drunkenness only. and ninety
eight having the dual charge OF being
drunk and disorderly. This shows a
decrease OF l2g arrests for intoxica-
ton in the city
Few wet" ADVOCATES Now.
With this remarkable change in the
police record OF the city there has
also been a similar transformation in
he attitude of the people of Rich
mond in regard TO prohibition. From
n position Of hostility, they have now
planted themselves firmly on the side
of the dry advocates. From declared
skeptEcs as to the actual enforcement
to the Mapp law, they have Now been
convinced OF It's practicability by the
police showing in the city. and the
real benefits that have resulted.
IL is believed II a vote were taken
today in the city on the prohibition
question, Richmond would vote by a
large majority in its favor. This Is
supported by the statements OF men
of all classes, who fought the pass
age OF the ena bling act through the
Legislature. and later campaigned to
defeat prohibition In the Statewide
election These men are now some
of the most ardent advocates and en-
thusiasts for the dry regime, Along
the streets are heard expressions
favorable to prohibition. where
formerly the warmest condemnation
OF 1t was heard. The people OF Rich
mond are awake to the wonderful re-
suits that have marked the frst dry
month in Virginia. and they would
not have il otherwise.
Greater Efficiency Shown.
Business men without exception are
commenting on the greater efficiency
