FALL FROM
SCAFFOLD.
ROLAND B. WILSON AND WILLIAM 5.
ARBAUGH, THIS CITY, INJURED In
35-FOOT PLUNGE

. Falling 35 feet when a scaffold ON
which they were standing while paint
ing the framework of a third-story
winodw at 2030 Linden avenue, Bal
timore, collapsed, Roland B. Wilson
and William S. Arbaugh, both living
on East Main street, this city, were
seriously injured yesterday morning.
Arbaugh, who fell on Wilson, escaped
with sprains, bruises and possible in
ternal injuries, but Wilson sustained
a fracture of his left leg, right arm
and his nose, was cut in several
places and suffered greatly from
shock.
The scaffold on which the men
were standing consisted of a long
board, supported by two other boards
fastened to the sill of the window.
The police say it collapsed under the
combined weight of the men.
The house they were painting was
owned by Mr.. Wilson.
They were taken to the Maryland
General Hospital, where they are re-
ceiving treatment.

A mother, a sister, sweetheart,
who would hear the cry of hunger
from the front would brave an ocean
underridden with destructive war
craft to bring bread to her beloved;
will she refuse to employ industry,
resourcefulness and self-sacrifcing
application, to conduct the affairs of
her household in a manner to prevent
his feeling the pang of want? If the
supervision Of pantry and kitchen is
more prosaic, it is by all odds more
effective than a voyage through the
danger zone. They also serve who
only stand and wait" writes the poet.
Our daily duty we'll done, may be
hidden in the mists of obscurity, but
the God who seeth in secret" will
reward patriotic service at home as
we'll as in the field.
Do not wait for a personal com
munication signed by the President,
or for direct correspondence with Sec
retary McAdoo or Mr.. Herbert HoOv-
er, or for pledge cards or report
blanks, but go home my friends and
put into practice the directions you
have received so clearly and repeat
edly in the passing weeks and months.

Hospital for Westminster.

The semi-annual meeting of the Car
roll County Medical Society was held
in this city, Saturday afternoon, at
the Hotel Westminster. 1t was well
attended by the physicians of the
county. The following officers were
elected for the ensuing year: Presi-
dent, DR.. Luther Kemp, Uniontown;
Vice President, DIR. George Brown,
New Windsor; Secretary and Treas
urer, DR.. Henry M. Fitzhugh, this city;
Board of Censors, Drs. Daniel Sprech-
er, of Sykesville; G. Lewis Wetze1, of
Union Mills; l.. F. Legg, Union Bridge.
After discussing the possibility OF
hospital for Carroll county, to be 10
Gated in Westminster, the Society has
taken steps to arouse the popular SEN
timent of the people of the county
toward this project, and the president
appointed a committee of three, con-
sisting of Drs. Woodward, Fitzhugh
and Zepp, to look up suitable loca-
ton for the same, and to report at
the next special session of the soci-
ETY., to be called in three weeks. This
is a most opportune time for the peo-
pie of Carroll county to procure a
much needed and long felt want, and
if the proper support is given the
physicians of the county at this time,
the hospital will be assured.

Foresees Crushing TeutOn Defeat
Anxious for Separate Peace.
Bulgaria is frightened at the hand
writing she sees on the wall, and
hen; c is conducting separate peace
propaganda through her envoy at
Washington according to Greek Min
lister Rossos Georges.
In an interview he expressed the
opinion that Bulgaria is already max
ing plans for eventualities that will
come with crushing German defeat
Georges openly charged that the Bull
garian envoy in Washington, at the
instigation of his government, is try
ing to influence peace opinion in the
United States, though the Bulgar
claims to have no communication with
his government.
The Greek stated that the answer
to Bulgar peace talk will come in due
time. while confidential advices indl-
cate that the Allied armies around
Saloniki will probably be ready for
blow against the AuStro-German-B Bull
gar forces some time in April.
The Allied conference in Paris will
settle the question of the date when
the advance against Bulgaria shall
occur. Meantime French officers are
reorganizing the Greek army and are
paving the way for a smash which
shall cut the Berlin-COnstantinople
Railroad. Such a maneuver would
remove Turkey from Mittel Europa
the Kaiser's not-to-be empire.
The Greek minister insisted that
Bulgaria entered the war in SYM
pathy with the German idea of world
conquest, and because Of heavy Ger
man loan.

By the Joint Lutheran Committee on
Celebration of the Quadri-centenn1al
of the Reformation.
To the Lutheran Church in the United
States and Canada:
When Martin Luther nailed the
ninety-five Theses on the Castle
Church door at Wittenberg, the
strokes of his hammer signalized the
beginning of new Era.
1t is requested therefore that on
"Wednesday, October 81, 1917, beginning
at noon and continuing for five min
utes, the Lutheran churches in the
United States and Canada cause their
bells to be rung, as fitting recognition
of the hour 400 years ago that pre-
pared the way for civic and religious
liberty.
N. B.-A similar request is being
made by the proper authorities of all
the Protestant churces.
