ON THE EVE OF WAR.

The extra session Of Congress con
vened on Monday and as soon as he
was notified by both houses that they
were ready for business the Presi-
dent appeared before Congress and
addressed that body giving them the
facts as to co lditions existing be-
tween ttis country and the imperial
German Government. He asked that
Congress pass res 1lution declaring
this country in state of war with
Germany, in one of the strongest
speeches ever made by the President.
Such resolution was iu mediately
introduced in both houses and refer
red to the proper committees and
giving the President the right 10 use
the armed forces of the United
States to prosecute the war
and bring it to as early a termination
Al possible. This resolution passed
the Senate with nut few dissenting
votes and will it is expected pass the
house in short order. We agree
with the action Of the President snd
Congress as we believe this country
has stood the insults and injuries
heaped upon us by Germany long
enough. Others disagree with this
course but once we are actually in a
state of war, we, believe every red
blooded American citizen will stand
squarely behind the President in bis
efforts TO bring the war TO a speedy
termination and thus bringing about
permanent peace in the future.

ORIGIN OF PILES OF OYSTER
SHELLS AT P0PES CREEK.

BY VIM. Bullock Clark, State Geologist
Scattered throughout the Atlantic
Costal area are extensive deposits of
both clam and oyster shells which
have attracted the interest Of
Psychologists and geologists for
many years. These aceumr lations
are oftimes so widely extended and
occur in such thick deposits that
they have afforded extensive
supplies for agricultural purposes.
Lime kilns have been built at msny
points and several are at the pes
ent time in operation.
These shsll deposit, which ex-
tend all the way from Maine to
Georgia, cover thousands of acres
and contain millions of tons of cal
careous materials. In Maryland the
largest OF these depo-its are found
on the Patuxent and Potomac riv-
ers the most extensive being located
at Popes Creek at the terminus Of
the Popes Greek Branch of the Bsl-
timore and Potomac Railroad. The
deposits here, as elsewhere in Mary
land, consist Of oyster shells and owe
their origin to the Indians of Algon-
kin stock which inhabited the tide
water district Of Southern Maryland
prior to the coming of the colonists.
these shell heaps, known as kitchen
middens must. have marked the
sites of ancient villages OF resorts
which were occupied by the Indian
residents of the region over long
period of years. One also finds here
intermingling Of the bones of fish,
reptiles, birds, ard mammals. Ant
lers Of deer and bone, split to ie-
move the marrow, have at times
been discovered. Stone implements
of many kinds and fragments of
earthenware are also to be found 10
the shell deposits. Mortars and pes
ties of stone used in grinding gram
to flour are also found on every
hand, as well as spears, arrows, and
bits Of faxed stone which have been
gathered by the thousand from the
fields and forest adjacent to these
and similar deposits. Grooved axes,
celts, and hammers and various kinds
of pendant ornaments have proved
that these akitchen- -middens" were
the popular habitations of great num-
bers Of Indians throughout the time
that the region was occupied by
them.
The Bureau OF American Ethnol-
ogy in Washington has made extern
sive study OF these ancient peoples
and the publications Of this Bureau,
which is conducted under the au-
spices Of the Smithsonian Institute,
furnish descriptions and Illustrations
Of these deposits and the many i'm
plements and ornaments which have
been found in them. The accepted O.
pinion Is that they were inhabited by
by a race of Algonkin stock which
acknowledged the chieftianship of
the great Powhattan. The powerful
Susqu-hannocks Of the north were
accustomed 10 the early days to
make frequent raids into the lower
Chesapeake and it's tributaries but it
but it is not known that they oecu-
pied any part Of this district per-
rpnently. J
