~o-.rcs2onGcrt Nould Make Each
County Seat auto District, and
Rave --0.e authorities.

Mr. Editor:
1~dsing from the tona of Auto,
mo-. owners article IN The Ban
ucr, trs-vriter is sad TO see public
sentiment coming 20 his point Oh
view. For long time the writer
has advocated bot> word and pen
The wisdom OF e5tan ing a deputy
Auto Commissioner \ol4ice at the
seat OF each county, not only for the
convenience OF the public in procur-
ing registration and tags, but as
protection to The public itself.
The system now in vogue, by
which drivers and operators of mo-
tor vehicles obtain licenses, is too
lax. Everyone knows that nun
dk drivers in possession OF le-
gal sion to operatzE.e cannes
are uIf aave in their hands the
lives of9> Of persons who are
defenseless.\ .fhe location Of Auto
commissioners offices should be SO
located that applicants fer permls-
sion to operate shall appear person
ally, in order to obtain all the lnfof-
nation possible regarding the char
acter, habits and ability OF the ap-
plicant. Because nE-s- can guide
machine, and has some knowledge Oh
auto mechanism, is not enough. 10
what extent does he regard human
life and the rights OF others? Has
he reputation for carefulness and the
respect Of law and order?
The one main office for the Whole
State, under the present system, can
not obtain the facts, nor anything
near the facts. Too late to 1nyestl-
gate after accidents occur and lives
are lost. We maintain local poilce
authorities to protect the lives OF
rabbits and raccoons and o'rossums,
but the mention OF proper protection
for the thousands and thousands oil
priceless lives on our public high
Wavs, at the mercy of Tom, Dick and
Harry, brings forth howl about
needless offices and places fo7
somebody"
We should view this matter broad
mindedly, and whatever the people
demand, they get, whether good or
bad. Get the auto authorities near
er the people, Auto traffic is becon-
ing too heavy to be governed afar
off. The best government is the
government nearest the people, after
all
Let each county be made an auto
district, where tags may be issued,
and where drivers may be locally SUI
pervised, and the rules and regula-
ions enforced, and offenders brou-
ght promptly to task.
The writer is not 'llicker;" he
is not criticizing, but he thinks that
II the State is to become 'paternal,'
and enter into business for the peo-
pies sake, it should make that busi-
ness not only convenient, but safe.

FIRE BURNS PORTION
OF RAE STREET HOUSE
Residence Formerly Occupied By Mr..
J. Aigey Brann0Ck And Richala
Hugsllett, Jr., Partly Burned.

The residence on Race street
which was formerly the home of Mr.
and Mrs. John W. Fletcher, aud la
ter occupied by Mr.. Richard Hugh
lett, Jr., and more recently by Mr..
J. Airey Brannock, was damaged by
4 fire which was discovered this
morning about three o'clock. The
fire appears to have been the work
OF an inCendiary, as persons living
nearby state that when they reached
the scene, which was only few
minutes after the first alarm was
sounded, they found that it was
burning in two places.
The fire seems, from these state
ments, to have been started in an old
summer kitchen, which was adjoin-
&c to the main building by a porch.
and also in the kitchen in the main
portion of the building. The summer
kitchen was completely destroyed,
and the kitchen and diningroon of
the main building were badly dam
aged. The building is owned by Mes
us. Edward Gibbons and Clarence
Henry, who estimate their loss at
several hundred dollars, the loss be-
ing partially covered by insurance.

The Maryland Annual Conference
of the Methodist Protestant Church
will convene in Starr Methodist Pro
lestant Church, Garrison and Alto
avenues, Walbrook, Baltimore, on
April II. The new president, who
will be elected on the first day, will
preside. The conference will be
opened by Rev. DR.. John S. Bowers,
who has held the Office for the last
five years.
The Methodist Protestants should
have convened on April 4, but on
account of Easter Sunday coming
during that week and the ministers
being desirous of remaining in their
pulpits on that day the date was set
forward one week by President Bow
erS.
The election of a new president to
succeed Rev. DR.. John s. Bowers will
be the chief feature of the Methodist
Protestant body. DR.. Bowers has
held the place for f|asgs8gs, and as
that is the accustomed tHfaeef.::in in
cumbency in the Confere1a
expected that his successole ka
elected on the first day OF f'CQ1ss
ence. The names of several mIMSs
ters are connected with the covetSsg
position. Among them are: Rev.
DR.. George w. Haddaway, pastor OF
the Conference church; Rev. DR.. Jno.

town clergymen. Rev. DR.. Hadda-
way has been at Starr Church for ! S
consecutive years, and in the event
of his being elected to succeed DR..
Bowers as president of the Confer
ence, the Starr appointment will be
much sought after, because OF its
prominence in the appointments OF

dustry to bring us victory-submarine notwithstanding.
 There is, however, the peril, and the league members must realize it so that they can awaken the American people. The people, however, are asleep, poisoned by the narcotic of ignorance. They must be aroused at once, shocked into action worthy of their splendid inherent patriotism.
 We are the leading propaganda defence body of this country, and ours is the duty of doing this work and doing it now.
 Twenty-Five days of war and but one shot fired by our forces!
 Twenty-Five days of war and the nation unaroused!
 Twenty-Five days, of war and no defensive army in the field!
 Twenty-Five days, each one most precious, and American energy and efficiency still unleashed, all because we nestle comfortably in confidence of the present power of the British navy.

It WOOlu HlodH InOTO 4H0H again, it would awaken us, which she does not wish to do until free to hit with all her power and gather the full fruits of victory.
 ''The Congressional situation is ap- pal1ing. MT. Stone is unworthy of holding the chairmanship of the Com mittee of the Senate on Foreign Af- fairs.

He is a living denial of all that the soul of the nation cries for and should head the House Committee on ready to take his place. MT.

TELL
 OF THRILLING SUB ADVENTURES

London, May 4.-American citizens landed during the last few days from vessels that had been sunk by Ger man submarines tell remarkable tales of the strenuous exploits of U-boats. In one case three under seat boats appeared simultaneously alongside the ship, one being submarine cruis- CT 300 feet long and the others old fashioned submarines with a length of about 120 feet.
 In another case a German submar- inc wore an elaborate. disguise of g. fishing boat. This submarine carried a gun that had a range of nearly five miles.
 In at least two cases the crews of vessels sunk by submarines were les- cued from open boats by a passing ship only to suffer a repetition of the disaster when the ship on which they had taken refuge was itself the prey on an under water boat

The meeting of the National Se- curlty League was a very large one. It completely filled the big north ballroom of the hotel and overf1owed into the railways. Joseph H. Choate, president of the league; s. Stanwood Menken, chairman of the executive committee; Prof. Albert Bushnell Hart of Harvard University, J. Ser hard Walker, H. L. West and Robert Underwood Johnson were on the speakers stand. MT. Menken presid- ed.
 MT. Menken read a report which ordinarily, he said. would be state ment of the work of the league for the year, but he said, he had no heart Tor boasting of the league as in the main purpose of the league-the ob- talntng of absolute national security for these United States-we have failed.'
 T am convinced" he said, "and I in- tend to convince you, that our na- t1onal security is in graver peril today than at any time in the past. We are at war; we have navy far weaker than Germany'sl and less experienced by actual combat. We have no army, nor arms-nor will we have for six months or more-sufficient to meet the force the War College states Ger many could land fully equipped in 18 days if she commanded the seas. Our government. the lives of our citizens, the existence of our commerce and industry continue solely because of the protection furnished by the Brit ish feet
 If the British navy failed we would suffer the penalty of war as known to all our allies. The direct question for us to consider is whether we are Justified in expecting successful con- tinued protection from Great Britain.
 The English government reports that 53 of their vessels, of which 39 were of more than 1000 tons, were sunk in the past week. That is ? per cent. of the total ships going to British ports. About 5,100 entered and de- parted in the same period. What will be the result of six months of like toll? What of a year?
 eff Germany produces 1000 sub- marines, what might result? Will they affect the fighting power of the British fleet? Will they break through the Channel guards and de- stroy the safety of the lines of supply ? Will they starve England into submis- sion?

CABARETS NOT OPEN, WOMEN
 STEP TO BARS
Feminine Foot on the Brass Rail Not An Uncommon
 Sight Now.

Bridgeport, home of circuses, fads, fancies, guns and equal rights expon- ents has taken another fling at the antedated and obsolete conventional rules of society. Women now drink with men at bars in the city.
 Since the order which prohibits en: tertainments or music in cafes, many of the cabaret establishments have closed their side doors. This action was taken by a cabaret in Middle St., which now conducts nothing but a bar business.
 Women patrons refused to be frozen out, however, at least those who are nocturnal tipplers The other even ing four former habitues of the cab aret with arms akimbo,. lined up at the .resplendent mahogany bar.
 "I'l1 have a little 'skee," remarked one, what will you have?'' she asked a brawny looking fellow standing next to her and whom she desired to show she could be i"good fellow A slight woman, we'll dressed and good looking, slipped a glasr of beer, her b1ase expression seeming to contradict the opinion that this experience was new to her. r
 Two more studied the, reflection of their faces in the inviting depths of a Blue Moon" and another toyed idily with the thin stem sof a half emptied cocktail glass with her foot cooked on the iron footrest. They discussed everything from feminine foibles to the world war and matters of state, drained their glasses with apparent relish and bade the boys good night.
 There is no law against women en- tering a saloon and buying a drink, if they do not 1oiter.
