New Attack On Maryland.

A dispatch from Washington, D. c.. dated
August 3rd, says:
IAN attack from new quarter on the
Maryland Automobile License law came
descendant Of Francis Scott Key, intro
duced bill in the Senate which would
have the effect of giving Washington mo-
torists the free use of the Maryland high
ways. Senator Pittman's bill is not as
drastic as Representative Adamson's, but
1t accomplishes the same purpose-de-
priving Maryland of the right to tax Dis
trict autoists for the privilege of using the
State roads.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Adamson bill will not be considered until
the December session of Congress, Repre-
sentative COady is now actively at work
gathering data to lay before Congress. He
put great stress today upon the resolution
adopted by the Montgomery County Com
missioners attacking the Adamson bill.
Montgomery county would be one Of the
greatest sufferers from such law. as the
District motorists. If given the right Of
way. would sworn out on the Montgomery
roads like flies seeking molasses. II costs
Montgomery county and the State $50 900
annually to maintain highways. and it is
estimated that If the District motorists are
given free use of the roads the mainte-
nance cost will be doubled. II not trebled.
"Mr. Coady declared he does not believe
members of Congress appreciate the finan-
cial hardship which the AdamsOn and
Pittman bills would work upon Maryland.
The Baltimore Congressman will discuss
the Legislation with Representative Adam
son and point out the injustice Of the leg
islation so far as it applies to Maryland
THE Hartford County Commissioners have
sent each member of the Maryland dele
CATION copy Of resolutions protesting
against the legislation. Every county in
the State is expected to take similar
action"

A WAR PRESIDENT.

Mr.. Wilson in tl'e past four ycars has proved himself one of our very greatest peace Presidents. Frcm now ,'nu:l the end of our inevitable conflict with Germany he must re- concile himself to the fact that he will be a war President; that his. paramount duty to the Nation will be successful prosecution of the war that his success or failure as President in his second term will be judged by the stan- dards of war.
 MT. Wilson, like almost any other President in a like position, will have to force upon himself difficult and painful transfor-.. nation. He will have to uproot and cast aside many cherished objects, many noble plans and motives which would have been purposeful in peace but could be only para lyzng in war. He will have to adopt strange and uncongenial principles of action, often subordinating the ideal to the material, eht- cal theories to practical facts, rational per suason to brute compulsion, the accommoda- tions of peace to the uncompromising vio- lence of trial by battle
 We follow MT. Wilson across the thresh- hold of this grim new world with the hope and the belief that he may adapt his com manding qualities of mind and character to the exigencies of war that he will continue to serve his country as ably and as nobly in that war as he has the peace which he tried so patiently to preserve.
