Hunting Season Opens.
Two Accidents Reported Due
To Reckless Shooting.

On Saturday last the season for killing
rabbits in this county opened, and, as
usual, a large number of men and boys
were out in the mountains and the coun-
try looking for the little animals. In
some localities game was scarce and in
others, according to reports, the woods
was alive with rabbits.
Out on the Eliza Young property it is
reported two men shot IS, some say 30.
Eight rabbits per day is the limit for one
person.
1t was in this vicinity that part of a
load of shot struck Mr.. Harry SINNERS
in the legs The wounds were not seri-
Gus and have not caused Mr.. SINNERS
much inconvenience. 1t is said that the
bushes and briars are very thick where
these men were hunting and quick shoot
ing is required to get rabbit when one
is jumped up.
Mr.. William Stoner reported Saturday
night that one of his most promising
young Holstein cows, registered and
valued at more than 5000, had been shot
during the day by hunters. The animal
was fresh about six weeks ago. One of
the shot passed through one of her teats
and cut the milk vein. The result in all
probability will be the loss of the teat
and an injury for life to the cow. 1t is
almost beyond reason to think the animal
was shot purposely, and the same time
to think that sane man would shoot at
a rabbit near a herd of cattle.
To avoid trouble hunters will take
notice and not go on any part of Mr..
Stoner's property in the future. One
reckless person makes trouble for hum
dreds of others who handle guns care
fully.

Geo. |. Winebrenner Dead.
Expires Suddenly After Eating
Breakfast.

DfedkId IdSC.
The citizens of Thurmont and com
munity were shocked early Wednesday
morning of this week as the news of the
sudden death of Mr.. George l.. Wine,
brenner, prosperous merchant OF this
place, spread rapidly.
Mr.. Winebrenner arose and eat his
breakfast as usual, but after finishing
his meal complained of indigestion. Sim
pie home remedies were given him by
his wife but none brought relief. In a
few minutes he expired. Both DR.. Ke-
fauver and DR.. Birely were summoned
but nothing could be done to restore life.
Mr. Winebrenner with his brother
William, now of Highfield, and two sis
ters, Mrs. Doctor Zentz and Mrs. William
Eigenbrode, came from Fairfield, Pa, to
Thurmont about thirty years ago. The
brothers were timers and opened work
shop on Water street. Some years later
William withdrew and went into business
for himself. George continued the busi-
ness and by close application brought
success. and at this time in his store is
found large stock of stoves, china and
queensware, etc.
Mr.. Winebrenner married Miss Ella
Harbaugh, who. with two daughters,
Mrs. Ethel Wolfe, of Waynesboro, and
Miss Marguerite Winebrenner, survive
to mourn the loss of husband and father.
He is also survived by his mother, Mrs.
Mary Winebrenner. and the following
brothers and sisters, viz: Charles, of
McKnightstown; William, of Highfield;
Thomas. of Gettysburg, Pa. Mrs. Doctor
Zentz and Mrs. William Eigenbrode, of
Waynesboro, and Mrs. Matte Kittsmill-
er, of Gettysburg.
Funeral services will be held Saturday
afternoon at O'Clock at the home, his

Sunday last score or more of persons
from this place went to Camp Meade to
visit the Thurmont boys now stationed

Mr.. Earl Black was on duty for the day,
he being a guard with instructions to in

TEST OF LOYALTY

Why America is in the war and
why every citizen of America should
devote himself with all the energy of
which he is possessed in prosecute on
ot ele war iii manner and to the end
that victory may be with America
ia clearly set forth by the Davenport
Times in the following:
The United states is in the present
war because the responsible leaders
of the country, booked up by an over
Wheiming support of all the people,
believed that the future safety of
this country required that it enter
the war for the purpose of assisting
to make the world safe for demo.
cracies.
People who were born here and
those who have come here from
other lands owe all they are and have
to the opportunity afforded them
here in this country under our sys-
tenn of government and under the
protection of the Stars and Stripes.
Many German people came to this
community in the early day and 9th
eTs have come here since that time
presumably to get away from the
very system which the larger part of
the world is now fighting against: a
system wherein the military caste
overshadoW civil authoriety and CIV
ii life development; q system wherein
all asssmade to understand that they
exist for the state, and not the state
for them, where the theory of devine
right of kings has been enthciated
forcibly even within the present gen.
Grafton. and where the government
in all its activities, has for Its chief
purpose, however much it may be
sugar coated and disguised, the devel
opment of gigantic fighting ma
chine. The German people came TO
this country to get rid OF so much of
that, and its tremendous cost in high
taxes. as possible, and in this new
environment with larger opportuni-
ties and wider stretches of land their
inborn thrift has given them a meas
nre of PROSPERITY which those vino
stayed at home have not enjoyed,
The whole sermon is in these few
lines. We. regardless of where we
were born, are in America because
we found it best for us. We should
have enough honor left, enough pride
in self to give to the country the sup.
port it eds.since it has made of us
all we are or ever hope to be.

U. S. PEACE TERMS

RESOLUTIONS urging the Washington
government to Immediately announce
Its war aims and favoring an "early
general and democratic peace" were
adopted at a meeting of socialists and
pacilis.s in New York last week. Dir.
j. l.. Magnes, one of the principal
speakers, declared that the activity
OF the men at the conference was not
not intended to obstruct the govern
ment's war measures, but TO 'sadyise
our government and the people of
America as to the necessity and meth
od of bringing about q speedy and
universal and democratic peace"
In the face of recent disclosures it
would appear that more could be ac-
complished in bringing about the end
of the war by displaying a willing
ness to cooperate with the govern
ment in carrying out successfully it's
war measures thar by giving advice.
The anti-conscriptionists. too, sought
TO make conditions better by adyis-
ing men of registration age not to
register on Tuesday. But their adj
vice was not heeded only by q very
small number and the government is
further burdened by being forced 10
provide necessary quarters for this
small minority during their impris-
onment.
An immediate peace is impossible,
unless the kaiser should see fit to
free the German people and relin-
quish his power. President Wilson
has stated the war aims of America
already. The United States seeks no
more territory; we want no indemni-
ties. But what this nation seeks is
to make the world safe for demoerac-
les. With the kaiser the power that
he is today, this is impossible. The
German Imperial government must
be crushed SO completely that Prus-
sianism can no longer threaten the
peace of the world. And unless the
German government is 80 defeated,
this country will be called upon to
hold under arms An army of at least
a million and a navy to correspond
with it to safeguard its people and it's
territory as. long as German junker-
ism survives
1t would kavebeen almost criminal
negligence for the president and other
officials of the American government
not to look into the future in decid
ing the attitude of this nation in the
present conflict. The danger to
America in a victory for Germany
was plain. Our government acted
Today we are IN war of unpreeed-
ented proportions. The duty of every
American is clear. We must fight
and sacrifice to win. Advice will
win no battle. What we need is de-
cision and a willingness on the part
of every American to do his duty in
the vital hour.
