And left a wound that will never heal.

And lie scattered on the ground. dead"
Like the leaf you nuttered from our midst
And left us in sorrow with hearts of lead.
Two long years since you went away;
1t don't seem true or just
That you have left to stay, N
But will return to us.
We bring the flowers that you loved,
And scatter them your mound;
We keep them fresh with our tears
That fall upon the ground.
We miss your smile and good night kiss
And words of kindness and cheer;
No longer We hear your voice Of bliss
Beside the vacant chair.
Your hands are folded your breast,
Your gentle voice is stilled
Your eyes are closed, you at rest,
But your place can never be filed.

HELP FIGHT TUBERCULOSIS.
Buy Red Cross Christmas Seals
100000 Allotted to Carroll County,

The season for the sale of Red
Cross Christmas Seals has begun. Let
every person in this county spend
their money in buying these seals.
Mrs. w. Frank Thomas, chairman Of
the Carroll County tuberculosis Com
mittee, has 100000 seals which are
allotted to this county, and prepara-
tions are being made to have the
seals placed on sale in every store,
schools and postoffie in every district
of the county if possible. A certain
per cent Of the money realized from
the sales of these seals will stay
here to help in the tuberculosis work
The experience of France, England,
Canada and all of the warning nations
Is that tuberculosis is among the
worst enemies of armies. Hundreds
of thousands of soldiers have been in
valided from the trenches by tuber-
culosis, and left without care, have
spread infection in their homes.
In our country, medical examina-
tion has disclosed thousands Of un-
suspected cases Of tuberculosis among
the ten million registered men. IL 1S
of utmost importance that the tuber-
culosis associations in every state
teach the newly recruited soldiers
how to avoid tuberculosis and secure
treatment or relief for those who have
broken down, and their families. Red
Cross Seals supply funds for this
work. Do all you can to help.

DEFENSE SOCIETY CALLS FOR
VIGILANCE CORPS.
Immediate Action Necessary Says
Their Appeal.

Howard +. kOontz, mayor of this
city, today made public a request re-
ceived from Richard NJ Hurd, chair
man of the Board of Trustees Of the
American Defense Society, urging
citizens here to organize a vigilance
corps, for the purpose of aiding the
Government in putting an end to
German propaganda and enemy ac-
tivity which has been responsible for
fires, ammunition plant explosions,
sabotage, food scares and other at
tempts to damage the morale of the
American people.
Recent events in this country
make it plain that the German meth
cd of propaganda which has been so
effective in Russia and Italy is now
being attempted in this country with
an alarming degree of success" &C
cording to the appeal to Americans
now being issued by the American De-
fense Society. German propaganda
has long been supplied to our troops
in the national encampments. The
ship-building program is being in
terferred with by German inspired
strikes. Germans are directing the
boarding of food supplies to an ex-
tent that panicS have already been
prevalent in the leading cities. News
papers are giving daily reports of
fires in ammunition plants and grain
depots and the country Is now on the
verge of an even greater calamity in
the shape Of even greater calamity
precedented extent which threat
ems to cripple our national industry.
The far reaching need of the local
Vigilance Corps can readily be seen
when it is known that in this coun-
try alone today there are several
million alien enemies representing
Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, Turkey
and other countries symethic or al
lied with Prussian autocracy. AL
most without exception these enemies
are free to 60 about as they see fit
and while the Government has done
much toward tightening censorship
of mails and cables, nevertheless there
are numberless channels by which
these enemies are in touch with the
directing genius of German propa-
ganda in Berlin.
If Americans mean to stand by the
men at the front, whose lives are al
ready being sacrificed, and to stand
by their Government, the opportunity
is offered in the additional service
they can give to this work of the
American Defense Society.
The plan Of organization under
taken by the Society and recommend
ed by loyal Americans provides fol
the enrolment of small American
Vigilance Corps in every city ant
town which shall classify all resi-
dents under the following terms:
l. Loyal.
2. Disloyal.
3. Doubtful.
4. Unknown.
Following the general classification
Of Citizens the Committee is urged t
further designation of the following
list:
l. Alien enemy.
2. Pro-German.
3. Anti-GoVernment.

SIX MORE AT CAMP MEADE.
Usual Exercises Before Their Depar-

Six men selected from Carroll

provided with them by ladies of their
districts. A copy of Songs and say
ings for soldiers and sailors" was also

Sans Soldier boys"

Louis Hillman, who keeps a gen
eral store near ClarkS, said that
Kowalewski invited Edelstein by tele-
phone to come to his house on the day
on which he was murdered. Two 9TH
er witnesses were produced who had
heard what koWaleWski had to say
when he telephoned.
A chart Of the ground and build
ings of the farm in Anne Arundel
was shown and was admitted into the
evidence.
Peter Zywicki was then called and
through him the state showed that Ko-
walewski had bought a revolver on
the same day on which he purchased
the mules Zywicki said that his
brother-inlaw returned to the house
after the shooting and his wife de-
manded to know what he had done.
II shot him." kowalewski replied, ac-
cording to the boy. Zywicki said that
the prisoner then stuffed his shirt in
the stove, put on another, and said
he was going out to bury the dead
man. Returning again, according to
the boys testimony, he offered his
wife q roll of bank notes, which she
refused, despite his assurance that
everything would be all right and no
one would know anything about it.
Kowalewski was on the stand for a
few minutes, with the jury excluded
from the court room, in connection
with the legal battle over his alleged
confession. He said that the detec-
tives told him that he had better tell
all he knew about Edelstein's death,
and that they would help him if he
did The Baltimore detectives en-
phaticaily denied this.
The prisoner was taken back to
Jail where he remained until taken to
the Maryland Penitentiary to begin
his sentence. .
Kowalewski told Sheriff Stoner that
had he been sentenced to death he in
tended to make a dash for liberty from
the court room and expected and
hoped to be shot He said he dreaded
only the long wait for death. He told
the sheriff that he was pleased with
the sentence and delighted to have
escaped the death penalty.
Although there is no reason now
for the state to act, it was learned that
Baltimore city authorities were pre-
pared to arrest KoWaleWski in the
event of his acquittal in connection
with the Chilar murder in the eastern
suburbs several months ago.

Benefit of Red Cross.

AS an attraction extraordinary
managers of the Opera theatre
announce their engagement of the new
Mary Pickford picture, THE Little
American" conceded to be the great
est patriotic message ever seen ON the
motion picture screen, on December 4,
Staged under the personal direction OF
that master of screencraft, Cecil B.
DeMille, creator of Joan the Woman,
this production, it is generally felt,
surpasses even the wonderful achieve
ment of that masterpiece.
Popularity known as America s
Sweetheart" Miss Pickford presents
particularly fitting characterization
in the title role of this new AIRCRAFT
picture Presenting a story OF espe-
cial timely theme by Mr.. DeMille and
Jeanie Macpherson, this production,
it is promised, will bring home most
effectively, conditions involving the
present great war. Stirring views OF
remarkably spectacular war scenes,
both ON land and sea, are pictured In
the most modern manner OF ph0toplay
technique.
AS Angela Moore, the little Ameri-
can girl who braves the dangers OF the
war zone, Our Mary" appears in what
is readily thought to be the greatest
dramatic effort of her career. In
scenes that demand much of her his
trionic finesse she offers portrayal
that is unlike anything hitherto given
to the screen by this famous little
actress.
In the production of THE Little
various Well-knoWn au-
thorities on conditions evidenced
across the ocean, have collaborated
with Mr.. DeMille, with the result that
even the most minute detail has been
pronounced perfect. Again the COM
bined arts of Mary Pickford and
Cecil B. DeMille have been linked to-
gether in the cause of the photoplay
and judging from advance reports,
this production will go down in mo-
tion-picture history as one OF its
greatest works of art, as well as one
Of its most powerful appeals.

mind, the Woman's Section of the
Maryland Council of Defense asks for

consideration of the men and women
of Carroll county. Mrs. Robert Sar-
