MT. AIRY LOCATION OF NEW IN.
DUSTRY.
Smith Concrete Block Machine Com
pany Organized. Capital Stock of
$4,000.

Mt Airy will be the location of a
new industry, which III time bids fair
to be one of the largest plants in this
section of the State. This was the an
nouncement of John T. Smith, inven-
tor and member of the board of di-
rectors of the Smith Concrete Block
Machine Company, just organized. At
present the machines will be built at
other factories, but as soon as arrange
ments can be made it is the idea of
those in charge to select a site i'm the
Carroll county town for the location of
plant and in time to build.
The company has been organized
and incorporated with a capital stock
of $4,000 The officers and directors
are prominent men in this section of
the state and are enthusiastic over
the plans, Walter R. Rudy, of Mt Airy,
is the president of the company John
Lewis, of Montgomery county is vice
president, also John A Peddicord, of
Baltimore. Other officers and directors
follow: Treasurer, Jesse t. Leather
wood, secretary, Arthur E. Phebus,
Mt. Airy; Wilson P. Smith, of Freder-
lex; n. E. Becraft, Howard county;
j. It. Smith, and Alonzo B. Sellman, of
Watersville.
The principal office of the company
will be in Mt. Airy. The patent rights
to make the machine to manufacture
the concrete blocks have been pur
chased by the company and the build
ing of them will begin at once. The
company also has the right, in its
Smarter, TO sell concrete, stone and
other equipment used in connection
with the machine. The principal plan
Of the company, however, is to make
and sell the machine to construct the
gutter and drain block.
A notable feature of the most re-
cent patent issued to this company is
the fact that the Government Patent
Office granted this after just a few
weeks investigation, due to its use
in connection with the war situation.
The company proposes the manu-
facture of patented concrete block
machines, used in making concrete
blocks and tiles in many various forms
and shapes, and for varied uses. For
the farmer, it should be particularly
useful 1t utilizes the sand and gravel
found on his property and with the
addition of cement he can make drain
tile, silo and building blocks, feed
troughs, culverts, bridges, and other
things that his farm might need, and
which with his ingenuity in handling
the machine could be made.
AS form of base for construction
of culverts, etc, the county commits
sioners Of several counties have inves-
tigated the proposition and heartily
endorse it as money saver to them,
chiefly through eliminating the need
of heavy wood form to receive the
poured concrete. The blocks made by
these machines can be produced at
the rate of so to 60 per hour and by
ordinary labor.

The Flag.

Even now there are those who be
lieve-or assert-that the United
States has not suffered wrongs which
need redress, is not threatened in any
way to require resistance. If ma
tional rights are challenged they
would surrender them; if national
honor is invaded they would aban-
don it; if the flag is trampled upon
they would submit. For they hold
that our national rights are not worth
maintaining by sacrifice and that ma
tional honor is a mere phrase of
empty sentiment, and that the flag,
after all, is but a symbol, the fate of
which need not concern those who
live under it.-From the Philadelphia

bring about an end of the war in the
Balkans and thus remove from the battle
line Serbia, Rumania, Bulgaria, Turkey
and Greece.
In all this l have not so far reckoned
with German influence and German policy
Let us recognize at once that all that has
been said is directly counter to German
purpose and German interest. The Russian
Revolution has disorganized the Russian
military establishment and given Germany
new hope Of victory. Victory for Ger
many means annexations and indemnities
If there are no indemnities and annexa'
tons for Germany, she will have lost the
war on her own statement, because she
entered it to win q proper place IN the
sun for the German people, and she sought
this place because she found that which
she occupied too "cribbed and confined
German Hopes
To-day Germany hopes to annex Lithua'
MIA and to dominate an autonomous Po-
land; she hopes to secure hegemony in the
Balkans. to reign in Constantinople and
to turn Asia Minor into German colony
In the same sense she has not yet sur
rendered the hope of keeping Belgium and
the iron districts Of French Lorraine
Peace on the basis of no annexations and
no indenmities-and she hopes to get
huge indemnity for evacuating what she
does not desire in France, and for evacuat-
ing all France and Belgium, if she has to
retire-is a lost war for Germany.
But the cry for peace without indem-
nifty has already been raised in Germany
the cry for peace without annexation has
been heard for long time. 1t is raised
by those who are convinced that there is
no longer good chance Of getting indem'
mites and even less chance of adding ter
ritories. 1t grows loud when the German
prospects are dismal; it falls away to
whisper again when German prospects
mount as they have in recent days, since
the Allied advance on the West front has
been temporarily slowed down, the Rus
sian Revolution has disorganized and par
alyzed the Russian army and the subma-
rine has begun to make itself felt as
very grave and unmistakable threat to
Allied existence.
But without attempting to look into the
future or to prophesy, let US consider what
may be the case six months hence If the
most likely thing happens. Suppose Ger
many does not win the war by her sub
marines, suppose the Allied offensive does
not reach the Rhine or clear Belgium and
all of France. Suppose Russia and Aus
tria stand facing each other more or less
quietly on the Eastern front and Italian
and Austrian armies keep their present
positions. Is it not likely then that Ger
many will find herself compelled by inter-
nal pressure to accept the Russian pro-
posal, to advocate peace without annexa-
tion or indemnity and thus hope to divide
her enemies?
