that observers here believe the Ru.
manlans may have given up all hope
OF holding Bucharest and have got out
in time before .Ploesci fell.
In entering Bucharest the armies of
the central powers have taken their
fourth entente capital. Brussels. Get
tinje and Belgrade, the capitals of Rel
GUM, Montenegro and Serbia, are now
under German rule.
Before the German and Austrian
siege guns relegated old fashioned for
tifcations of steel and concrete to the
scrap heap Bucharest was considered
the second most strongly defended Eu-
ropean capital after Paris. 1t had
Is outer forts of the first class and as
many more smaller works, redoubts and
batteries.
Called the Paris of the East, before
the war, Bucharest was considered one
of the gayest and most prosperous of
European capitals. The Rumanian oil
and wheat barons spent money lavish
ly. The city was largely rebuilt by the
late King Carol. He found it great
sprawling semi Oriental town with mar
row, dirty streets and few improve
ments. He left it city of handsome
boulevards, new public buildings, West
ern in its aspect and in its atmos-
phere. He drained most of the marshes
of the Dumbovita, which runs through
the city.
Bucharest was not only the seat of
government, but the heart of Rumania
1t was the great educational center,
with a university and schools of all
kinds, art galleries, museums and fine
churches. 1t was also the great trade
center of the country, through which
moved all the shipments of wheat and
oil that made Rumania rich. 1t was
the center of the whole Rumanian rail
road system.

TREMENDOUS SPECTACLE AT
WORLD THEATRE.

One of the greatest events in the
history of the motion picture art will
take place at World Theatre on Sept.
10 and II, when Russia's dancer, Anna
Pavlowa, will appear on the screen in
massive spectacle entitled, 1.-The
Dumb Girl of Portici''
1t is & remarkable illustration of
modern advancement in the amusement
field when one of the publics idols alb
soluteiy refuses to make public the
money which she will find in her pay
envelope at the end of each week.
There is nothing the great opera diva
so. delighted as to see in the newspa-
pers the grossly exaggerated state
ment of her weekly honorarium. but in
the case of Anna Pavlowa one may
look in vain for any statement of the
reasons which induced her to capitulate
to the cameraman.. All that is known,
even to the officials of the Universal
Film Company, is that the amount Paw
Iowa Will receive for spending one
month in Los Angeles, is saved to pro-
vide the capital which will finance the
tour with the Boston Opera Company.
Furthermore, it is believed that Paw
lowa's great incentive to appear be-
fore the camera, in The Dumb Girl of
Portici, was that it would enable her
to achieve full fledged impresario and
the first of her sex to back and direct
a great opera company of over two
hundred persons entailing an expendi-
ture of nearly $50, 900 week.

POPULAR HUGHES CAMPAIGN
FUND.

The plan adopted by Cornelius n.
Bliss, Jr., treasurer of the Republican
National Committee, to raise money
for the campaign and Increase the
force of active workers for the cleo
ton OF Charles Evans Hughes to the
presidency has peculiar merit. Mr..
Bliss asks every one who fayorS the
election Of Mr.. Hughes and wishes him
to have the support Of a Republican
Senate and House to contribute SO
and become a sustaining member Of
the Republican party. All such will
receive certificate of membership.
That the money will prove good in
vestment Is patent, 1t will help to Sc
cure for the country u more efficient
administration of our national affairs,
which Is necessary If the prosperity
and influence of the nation is to con-
tlnue.
There are at least 100000 Repub-
licans, but how many of them have
any evidence they are, beyond the con
sciousness that they have voted or
viii vote the Republican ticket7 The
work is done by few and the money
ordinarily Is provided by fewer. Mr..
Bliss plan offers a cure for that con
dition. Help the cause and get a GER
.tificate of membership that will estab-
liSh your party aftiliation. 1t is not
expected that all the 100000 Repub-
llcans win give $40 each, but If
goodly number who can afford 1t do
so there VIII be great many more
able to give much more than $40 next
time because Republican success will
mean TO the country in fullest measure
preparedness protection and perma-
nent prosperity.

Four Months of Local Option

The following communication was re-
Gently published in the St. Mary's
Beacon:
DEAR EDITOR
Your report of the cases and decis-
ions at the September term of Court
made very interesting reading. There
was naturally much curiosity to see
what the Court proceedings would
show as the result of the law that went
in operation May by the will of the
people, and that result should be known
to the world outside as well as to the
friends of good order and temperance
in st. Mary's.
First, not one person to my knowl-
edge was in Jail when Court convened
or had been in jail since May l for
drunkenness or for crimes consequent
On the abuse of intoxicating drink.
There was one case up for murderous
assault, but it had been left over from
March Court as kind of souvenir of
the old wet times in St. Mary's
County. On the other hand the docket
was crowded with indictments against
merchants who in mild ways or ways
that were bold and defiant, had vlolat-
ed the law. But the Court made it
clear that law passed in the good
old American way. VIZ: by a popular
majority, must be respected and obey
e. d; and the Court made 1t equally
clear that if these offenders or others
persist in violating the law, the penal
ty will not be a trifiing fine of fifty
dollars We have always contended
with other conservative people in this
county, that if the merchants had, as
a class, resisted the temptation of
more trade and more money, and obey
ed the broad and easy laws regulating
the traffic, they would not have been
molested; nor would reasonable tenn
perate people have been put to the
trouble of buying one of their creature
comforts outside of the county. AS
consequence, the reasonable people,
whether they use the commodity or
not. lost patience with the saloon and
by very decisive vote elected to put
it out of existance. And these same
reasonable people are perfectly salts
fed with the improved conditions
everywhere and are pretty we'll deter
mined that the saloon must stay out.
If the handling of near-beer offers too
many opportunities to bring into the
stores drinks that are Incorporate,
there remains way to put near-beer
also out of the business. We sincere
ly con graduate the Court on the fear
less, uncompromising discharge of its
DUTY and look to it further to enforce
the law to the very limit so that local
option may have an open field and a
square deal; for it will prove by other
and more positive fruits than an emp
tv Jail and blank docket, what it can
do for our people. Be it said also that
the result since May shows our people
to be an order-loving and law abiding
| community, and not have the degraded
race that the outside world seems to
think we were because of the amount
of intoxicants sold here and the crimes
| of violence resulting from the free ano
| open use of strong drink.
Yours very truly,
l.. J. KELLY, S. j.

Found Dead on Roadside.

! George F. Shaw, so years old, former
assistant superintendent of the Post
office Department, Friday night was
found dead alongside the tracks of the
Washington Railway and Electric Com
pany's Bladensburg and Berwyn line at
the Edmonston avenue crossing, East
Riverdale, only a few hundred feet
from his home. Motorman Dunn
found the body and notified Constables
Wallace Reybold and James Simpson.
An investigation made by the con-
stables disclosed bullet wound in the
body and a pearlhandled pistol on the
road nearby.
There was nothing about the place to
suggest the possibility of struggle
having taken place, the constables
stated, and friends of the deceased are
satisfied that he committed suicide.
Mr.. Shaw, it is stated, had been de-
spondent since the death of his wife
and child, and had talked of his finan-
cal condition since his separation from
the position in the Postoffice Depart
ment. He was denoted about year
ago and severed his connection with
the department June 80 of this year.

the Frederick county jail from
December 1, 1915, to October l,
1916, 408 were drunk when re-

prisoners, of whom 267 were re-
ceived drunk. The county had
to pay for 96OS meals served to
these prisoners in the county
Jail.
With such preparation. the
tragedies and expensive court

naturally.
These shameful conditions
