CONGRESS WILL BE ASKED
TO GIVE HERO MEDALS
To Provide Suitable Recognition Of
Soldiers and Sailors

Congress at the coming session
probably will be asked by the War De-
partment, If not by the President him.
self, to make some provision for the
award of medals to American soldiers
and sailors for gallantry and dis
tinguished conduct.
There already is the Congressional
medal--the medal of honor so greatly
priced by those who wear it. In order
that one of these medals may be
awarded it is necessary for Congress
to go through the formality of passing
bill through both Houses.
The mere fact OF this, of course, en-
hances the value of the medal, but in
time of war-such war as the world
war--it is believed some simpler NTH
cd should be devised. 1t also is be-
lieved by officials that America should
grade her medals as is the practice
in European nations There an act of
bravery wins the recognition Of a
medal, but all acts of bravery by the
British soldiers, for instance, do not
bring them the Victoria Cross. 1t is
only the surprising feat of gailantry
that has that reward. For lesser feats
there is the Distinguished Conduct
Medal and other decorations.
Great care will be taken to prevent
abuses which II is feared might arise
out of "loosening up" of the system.
America will see no such display as
Germany has been treated to of tons
of metal being welded into iron
crosses for distribution like calling
cards.

MIR. CRIsP's SUCCESSOR.

Filling the vacancy in the County
School Board will now become q mat
ter of consideration, owing to the
death Of William Crisp. late member.
At first blush II would appear an
easy thing TO name successor. but
II Is not All men are not fitted 70
be School Commissioners Schools
and politics do not mix. any more than
oil and water. We want good man
a man who is not an out and out poll
tician. a man without an ak 10 grind
One who has the interest of the
schools, the teachers. and the school
children at heart, and no selfish mo-
tive in view is the ind of a man who
should be appointed to the position OF
School Commissioner.
Ii is always better TO have a man
Of experience fill any position, and in
this case we know of no better man
than Mr.. George T. Melvin, who serg-
ed the schools faithfully and to their
best interest some years ago. MI.
Melvin took a keen interest in the
public education of the Anne Arundel
boys and girls, and during his regime
wrought many changes for the bet
terment of the schools. 1t was lie
who first started the seed for corn

girls" which seed took root during
his administration, terminated, grew
and spread throughout the county un-
til today the agricultural and home
economics feature in the Anne Arun-
del public schools is a feature OF
which to feel proud.
Mr.. Melvii developed the rural
schools, AMI aided and abetted the
plan for helping the teachers in de-
veloping ideas of their own by putting
the schools upon broader basis. Be-
sides, he gave more scope to the
trustees. relieving them of that mere

occupied He practically made them

With experience to back him, with
knowledge horn of association with

THE ENEMY IN OUR MIDST.

The enormous destruction by fire of
valuable food supplies within the asst
few weeks at various prominent points
throughout the United States is I'M
doubtedly the work OF alien enemies.
The Kansas City stockyards fire is be-
lieved TO have been the work of Ger
man agents. the burning of the huge
grain elevators and storage houses in
Brooklyn. n. Y. few days ago. and
the burning of the big Baltimore and
Ohio piers at Baltimore also undoubt-
eddy were the handiwork of the same
secret agencies. These losses have
aggregated many millions and the de-
struction OF food supplies on such an
enormous scale will be felt very seri-
ously by this country and its allies.
These disastrous experiences should
be sufficient TO bring home TO every
community possessing industrial or
storage houses filled with grain or
other food products the necessity of
keeping strict guard over them day
and night No sleepy Waterman
should be permitted to jeopardize the
safety of such properties. Put none
but true Americans, none but wide
awake Americans. on the job of guard
ing the nations vast stores of food
and other valuable products that are
needed in the prosecution of the
war.
