A MOTHERS FAITH
Wilhelm of Germany, we shall meet
In Gods good time at His judgment seat

Your hands viii be dyed with crimson stain
Your eyes will mirror worldwide pain:
The palefaced swraiths of each dead ships crew
Will be patiently waiting there for you;
The souls of the mothers the sweethearts wives
Whose hearts you broke when you took those lives
They will all be waiting to greet you when
You face to face with their murdered men,
Stripped of your power and all alone
Standing at Gods great White Throne;
Waiting for judgment, judged you'll be
A judgment to last through eternity.
With the ghosts of and children too,
Tortured and starved and slain by YOU
Oh, would not want to have God judge me
AS He'll judge Wilhelm of Germany
Wilhelm of Germany, we shall meet
In Gods good time at His Judgment seat!

WASH" WILKINSON
HAS PASSED AWAY
Tall Sycamore Of St. Mary's A Victim
Of Pneumonia-Was A Veteran
Legislator.

Washington Wilkinson. farmer.
merchant and one of the most
famous characters in modern Mary
land politics, and for years one of the
most familiar figures about the halls
OF the State House, is dead. Mr.. Wiki
inson, often referred to as the Tall
Sycamore OF st. Mary's County, died
Thursday morning at his home near
Hollywood, ST. Mary's County, and
was buried yesterday afternoon In
his death there passes one of the rich
est characters that ever sat in the
halls of the Maryland Assembly.
Stricken with pneumonia several
weeks ago following a visit to Bal
timore, Mr. Wilkinson's heart gave
way because OF his advanced age and
after he had been believed to be con-
vaIescing His funeral took place
from st. Johns Catholic Church at
Hollywood and the remains were
buried in the church cemetery short
distance from the spot where the dead
legislator was born and spent his en-
tire life.
i'm politics. OFF and on for many
years. he represented his county in
the Senate and House. His last ap-
pearance in the legislative halls was
in the session of 1914. when he was a
member of the St Mary's House dele
CATION This followed a full four
year session as the Senator from st.
Mary's and when he was the G. O. p.
floor leader.
Mr. Wilkinson was lifelong Re-
publican and an orator of some note.
He was famed for his homely prov
cribs and liked nothing better than to
take the floor and make an extended
argument
After an absence of four years Mr..
Wilkinson had expected to return to
the House in 1918. He was nomi-
rated as one of the two delegates
from his county and, though his
health for the past year had not been
good, he had expected to make an ex-
tended campaign up to the time he
was stricken. Following the prima-
ries the Tall Sycamore went to Bal
timore for a brief vacation. He told
friends he was feeling better than for
some years and while in the city he
visited the Timonium Fair and held q
veritable levee among the political
element of both parties, which always
gathers at the county fairs.

NO FEAR OF COAL
SHORTAGE In EAST
Fond Administrator Says All Require
ments viii Be Met Railways
To Be Supplied First.

DIR Harry a. Garfield. fuel admin
istrator. denied that there is a serious
shortage of coal at Eastern points,
either present or prospective.
I'VE anticipate enough coal, ne
said. TO supply all requirement TINS
winter"
DR.. Garfield; Judge Robert Lovett,
of the War Industries Board, and
Commissioner Clark. of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, are in con
ference on the subject Of the move
ment Of coal. Car shortage seriously
threatens distribution, according 20
fuel administrators from every State.
AT the same time DR.. Garfield is in
formed by experts of the Interstate
Commerce Commission that there are
enough freight ears in the country 70
move every bit of coal that can be
mined. Efforts are now being made TO
distribute the cars so that coal may
be moved to all points with equal
precision.
The first effort of the Fuel Admin
istration will be to secure steady
flow OF coal to the railroads. II our
railroads do not have sufficient coal,
then our industries must shut down,
DR.. Garfield said 1t is probable that
some railroads having large supplies
will be ordered to snip part of their
stock to other railroads.
DR.. Garfield is confident that aid
ed by the Interstate Commerce Com
mission. he can so remedy the car
shortage as to make the shipmen Of
coal an easy matter Manufacturers
of every kind will be called upon to
make sacrifices, however. Every eff
fort will be made to stop the move
ment OF empty cars
Railroads which do not fall in with
the plan to make the movement Of
freight cars rapid and efficient VIII
suffer Summary means will be
taken to bring them to book, for their
coal supplies will be entirely in the
power of the fuel administration.
Numerous order and reyocations Of
orders will be made by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

To The Evening Capital:
As a member of the Walfare Com
mittee for both branches of the Ma
tional service, permit me to thank
you for recent articles bearing upon
the very important work that we now
have with us i'll our city. AS the days
go by this Importance will increase.
1t is not my purpose in writing this
letter to be a knocker, but rather a
booster to this all-important work
which we are called upon to do here
in Annapolis. We emphasize the fact
that the young men who shirk mill
tary service are slackers. How about
the stay-at-homes, VINO are there for
many reasons, who are not willing to
make some personal sacrifice by
giving of their time or money There
is, | fear, too much of the spirit of
Let George do it." | do not wish to
be misunderstood, for | feel / have
just cause to be proud of what our
people have done for the Red Cross
and its associated bodies. along with
the work for the drafted men and the
National Guards.
However, we are now facing new
poblem Camp Meade is very short
distance from here, and We have al
ready the boys of our navy and the
marine corps with us We all know
the order that they are not permit
ted to enter any place where liquor
is sold. / cannot do better than re-
spect what Secretary of War Baker
has said, I'VE cannot allow these
young men to be surrounded by a
vicious and demoralizing environ
ments, nor can we leave anything un-
done which will protect them from
unhealthy influences and crude forms
of temptations. | am determined that.
our training camps, as well as the
surrounding zones, shall not be places
of temptation and peril" Personally,
l believe the city officials as well as
those of the county will give to the
military authorities their most hearty
cooperation. | am writing in order
to appeal to all good citizens to aid
in the great work of trying to pro-
vide proper rooms for our boys, where
they may go and feel the genuine
welcome of a Maryland city.
1t is the intention of the committee
to meet every emergency arising out
of this problem, regardless of cost
and time. Sleeping quarters will be
provided, if necessary 1t is not ne
cessary to wait for any further devel-
opment of the work. The need is
now here and we shall meet it.
l have always been willing to work
for my fellow-men and I am determ-
med | will not be a Stacker in this.
our nations trying hour AS an hum
bic member of this committee, |
plead with you to rally to our assist
ance and aid us in this work. We
know there are many calls on us all
these days, but you owe it to your
city, your country and God, to do all
you can to aid our boys while here.
In short time they will cross the
ocean blue, take their places in the
trenches, and at the word go over
the top for you and me.
Again thanking you for your inter-
est in this great work, / am,
Sincerely yours,
JOS. NJ ARMSTRONG.
