compulsory Education.
Dear Editor, st. Mary's BEACON:
Several weeks ago you published
some startling figures about illiteracy
in st. Marv's county, which was clear
evidence that we are in great part 70
blame If Maryland stands Sind in the
educational rank OF the IS states Of
this country. There Is compulsory
education law in this State, but as IL
is optional in II counties and the
other six are exempted, Il has not ac-
compiished much. At the present
slow rate OF progress towards en-
lightenment, ii will be 1850 before an
the white voters can read and write,
while all the colorcd men aud women
win be able to read and write IN 1890,
simply because they are making better
use of their smaller opportunities.
st Mary's county is among the OK
empted ones there is no obligation on
parents 10 send their children 70
school. Consequently In this county
in 1914 OF the 9, sos children, only 1916
were on the school roll, and only 1850
attended on an average that's how
we have been using our approximation.
IN other words only 50 ont af every
100 children on the school roll we're
attending school at all is it not time
for us 10 be aroused Otherwise the
Board OF Education will soon have 10
do what Is done in North Carolina
hold moonlight SCHOOL, for our
illiterate adult population .
Now there is very reasonable and
moderate compulsory education Law
before the General Assembly al
Annapolis, which provides that all
children between the ages OF and IL
years be required ~ attend public or
private school az least months Ia tic
year, unless exempted by the principal
for necessary absence, or for mental
or physical incapacity. As one who
wishes 10 see st. Mary's county get
out OF the LAST place into the FIRST,
respectfully suggest that all who
have the same wish, take pen ia hand
and urge our representatives al
at Annapolis To line up for this law
and put IL on the books There are
many good things we should do, but
we need little CoMPuLsION. Educa-
ton is one of them; let as use q little
pressure for our greater good and
Very truly yours,

mitted by High Official

Berlin. via Sayyille, Feb. 2l.--
Peace and food demonstrations have
occurred In Berlin and other German

the participants were dispersed by q
stream from fire hose.
Three peace demonstrations have
occurred In Berlin, Lewald said
Police dispersed the first one and ar
rested six persons. In breaking up
the second one. attended by 1000
persons, two OF the crowd were

INTERNED GERMANS ARE
TAKEN TO AUSTRALIA

San Francisco. Feb. Fifteen
thousand interned German prisopers
who have been interned In China
since the opening OF the war have
been within the past week smuggled
out OF that country into Australia,
according to officers OF the Japanese
liner Chiyo Maru.
The reason for this wholesale
seizure Of prisoners has been cloud
ed In mystery. They were removed
on British cruisers. It was rumored
In China that plots to escape had
been discovered and that a revolt
against the English in that country
might follow. Where they are to be
placed In Australia is not known.

BLAME PRES.
WILSON FOR
BREAK
English Press Places Upon
Him Responsibility for Es-
irangement Between Ian
sing and Won Bernstorf

London. Feb. 21--President Viii
son was held responsible by news
papers here today for the reported
estrangement between Secretary Of
State Lansing and German Ambass-
ador Won Bernstorff.
Washington reports Of that sit
uation we're given prominent display.
The Observer regretted that the
English press had harshly criticized
President Wilson when It was first
reported be would accept the German
decree OF warfare against armed mer-
chant ships. They were afterward
forced to withdraw their criticizm In
view Of the American position against
the decree.
The Observer took the view that
President Wilson dictated Lansing's
personal attitude toward the German
envoy, because the administration
had been embarrassed at stories cir
culated by the German embassy.
The paper suggested 1t would be
advisable for the allies to send 9
distinguished envoy to America to
lacquaint the government with the
allies viewpoint.

LONDON FEARS
THE KA|SER'S PLANS

London, Feb. 2i.--With Germany's
proclamation OF her intention 10 at
tack armed enemy merchant vessels
without warning operative only nine
days hence. the newspapers here to-
day demanded that prompt steps be
taken to combat this new campaign
OF "frlghtfulness."
simultaneously they issued warn
ing that another air raid may follow
that OF yesterday against the east
and southeast coasts. when three per-
sons were killed and one wounded.
Paris reports OF an attempted at
tack by a raider against the French
liner Chicago increased the belief
here that Germans are planning spec
tacular demonstrations on the sea and
In the air.
England Is inclined to,doubt Amer
lean reports that Germany may post
lpone operation OF her decree. for
German newspaper comments have
convinced the authorities that the
Teutons are about to embark on a
new campaign designed to strike ter
ror to enemies and neutrals alike.
In this connection, the recent state
ments credited to Die zukunft, Maxi
millian Harden's paper, are regarded
as especially significant. He was cre-
dited with suggesting that Germany
will soon pay no attention to neu-
trails.
The German raider that captured
the British liner Appam Is expected
Ito cooperate with submarines In at
Itacking armed ships, until such time
as the allied warships end her career
THE raider involved In the Chicago
incident may have been the same that
captured the Appam.
The Chicago, only l6-knot vessel,
escaped her near the. Bay Of Biscay,
indicating that the raider is a com
paratively slow ship, which should
be easy prey for British cruisers.
| Shortly before the stranger order
cd the Chicago to heave-to on Thurs
day night, the French ship was warn
ed by wireless that raider was In
the vicinity
