En|isting In Navy.
Great Opportunity to Hundreds
Of Young Men.

Sixty-four young men from the
various SECTIONS of the State, exclusive
of Baltimore City, have enlisted in
United States Navy since the begin
ming of the second recruiting cam
paign in Maryland.
These results, the Navy recruiting
authorities of the State maintain,
show that Maryland still holds its
preference for the country's Aquatic
Arm of Defense.
Lieut.. NJ. A. Leahy, Officer-in-
Charge of the Maryland district, is
anxious at this time to receive appli-
cants for the Hospital Corps of the
Navy. There is still an urgent need
for young men in this branch of the
Naval service.
Accepted applicants for this branch
of the service are enlisted as hospital
apprentices, second class, and their
salary starts at $500 per month /;
$500 per month having recently
been added to the salary as an extra
compensation in time of war.
The opportunities for promotion in
the Hospital Corps of the Navy are
exceptional, and, ambitious young
man going into the service at this
time can soon rise to the warrant
rank of pharmacist, ranking with an
ensign in the Navy.
The recruiting authorities at Balti-
more are very well pleased with the
high standard of applicants for all
the branches of the service and with
the large percentage of applicants
who pass the physical and mental
examinations.
Attention is especially called to
the necessity of minors presenting
the written consent of their parents
or legal guardian. This requirement
cannot be waived.
In order that this consent may be
properly presented to the recruiting
officers, forms have been furnished
by the Navy Department. These
can be procured from the postmasters
of the various cities and towns of the
State, or from the Navy Recruiting
Station at Baltimore.
Full particulars of Navy enlist
ments can be obtained from the near
est postmaster; directly from the
Navy Recruiting Sub stations at
Cumberland and Hagerstown.

Relief For Jews.

For the information of Jews
throughout the United States, who
have contributed to the 10000, 600
war relief fund, the joint distribution
committee of funds for Jewish war
sufferers announded that $45, 900
had been sent to Palestine every
month for some time and an extra
appropriation of $4,000 recently
was voted to be forwarded at once
to assist those who had been driven
from their homes.

HJRMONT FREDERICK COUNTY, MD, THURSDAY JUNE 28 1917
Nation Makes Special Offering
For Men In Trenches.

In an age charged with being selfish,
sordid. and commercial there has grown
up and developed the greatest organlza-
! ton for unselfish service the world has
ever seen-.the American Red Cross. The
growth of the Red Cross Society is evil
dence not to be contrOverted that the
spirit of service is strong in the hearts
of the people of today. The work of the
society demonstrates that there are
thousands who are willing to devote
their services to humanity, and the sup
port given them by voluntary contribu-
tions shows that there are hundreds of
thousands more who are willing to devote
a portion of their means to the allevia-
ton of suffering.
The activities of the Red Cross always
have been generously supported by the
American public, but only since "our
own" soldiers began to AXE place iL
the trenches alongside our allies has this
support become bountiful. 1t is the
suffering and comfort of the men from
"our own neighborhoods" as well as the
physical needs of oar allies for which
the Red Cross must now mobilize. The
result-a greater and more imperative
duty now confronts the givers in America.
No appeal to the generosity of the
American people has ever been unan-
swered. Let one part of the world be
visited by some calamity like the Mount
Pelee and Italian earthquake, China
floods, the Johnstown flood, the San
Francisco earthquake or any greater or
lesser calamity, and the response from
the Nation is immediate and generous to
degree. The services of the American
Red Cross Society to both sides in the
Boer War and in other wars was liberal
and sacrificing. Fresher in our minds is
the work the American unit has been
doing in Europe in the last three years,
especially the relief given the Belgian
population.
TO meet this new and greatly enlarged
demand-this demand that has the added
force of patriotism and duty we owe
our own soldiers there has been a cam
paign to raise $780, 900, 900 for the Red
Cross work. The campaign has been
conducted with vigor and earnestness
that insured success. 1t was participant
ed in by all classes of Americans from
the President of the Nation down to the
smallest boy scout, and the women of
the Nation were particularly active.
"Red Cross week" will not be the only
time in which one can assist the work of
the society. Every week should be Red
Cross week with those who are able to
contribute to the work of this greatest
agency of mercy. Its work is pressing
and will continue long time. 1t needs
continued support and will not appeal in
vain to people as generous as the
American Nation.

Country Homes Needed.
Children From | to II Years
Old May Be Saved TO State
And Nation.

Some one has said that the cheap
est thing in the world is human life.
When war comes, human life be-
comes of the greatest value-as it
should be all times. In the great
cities thousands of children will die
this summer for want of good air,
good fool, good surroundings.
George l.. Jones, of the Henry
Watson Children's Aid Society. Nc
Coy Hall, Baltimore, believes that if
people who live in villages and on
farms realized how they could help
prevent this waste of child-life and at
the same time serve their state and
nation, in other words, do their
bit", they would write him on this
subject.
The children range in age from 2
to II years. Some were baptised in
the Roman Catholic faith and these
the Society prefers to place in Catholic
families. Others are Protestant child
ren and these should go into Protest
ant homes. The Society is non-sec-
tartan, but it endeavors always to
permit the children it serves to re-
main in the faith their parents would
wish them to follow. The Society
has photographs of many of these
children and can supply exact infor-
nation of their parentage. We are
sure that many families in the State
would be glad to welcome one or two
of these children, for it means saving
to become useful citizens; whereas if
they are not removed from their pres
ent surroundings, many of them will
not survive the long hot summer and
those that do will be less able to fight
their way to future positions of use
fulness. The Society is especially
anxious to save the children now that
war has come. With the sending
away of great armies of men, every
one should help conserve our child
rem to become strong healthy men
and women.

Biography can give not even faint con-

nature scatters with lavish hand in

gianS.
The Fuegian archipelago is made up
of many islands of varying size closely
clustered south of the Strait of Magel-
Ian. The largest of these, embracing
an area about equal to that Of the
state Of New York, is the island Of
TERRA del Fuego. 1t is on the SOUTH
western arm of this island, separated
from the main and more level section
by Admiralty sound, that Mount Sar-
miento is located. 1t forms the vest
ern tip of the Darwin range, which
stretches from Beagle sound to Cock
burn channel. The northern eXtrem-
ity of the island forms the eastern and
southeastern shore of Magellan strait,
and we subsequently saw vast areas

slons. These imp essions in the case
of the writer may have been unusually
favorable, owing perhaps to the sea-
son of the year and the exceptionally
fine weather when he viewed this out
of-the-way corner of the world. AT
any rate, he will never forget the
scenic wonders encountered on Il trip
through the Strait of Magellan, and
especially of that section of the Fue-
gian archipelago which borders on
Magdalen sound, an arm of the strait
which stretches almost directly south
from the elbow formed by Cape Fro
ward, the southernmost tip Of the
South American mainland.
1t was during the first days Of April
early autumn in the southern regions
Of South America-when we steamed
into the Strait of Magellan at its Pa
cific end. We were en- route to Punta
Arenas, and the captain of the vessel
had kindly consented to give us a
near view of famed Mount SarmiHnto,
which meant detour of some seventy
miles down into Magdalen sound. 1t
IS just where the sound and Cockhurn
channel meet at almost right angle
that this ice-clad eminence known as
the Mountain King of the Southern
most Andes dominates scene of
marvellous beauty.
We had passed between Clarence Is.
land on the western and Dawson is
land on the eastern side Of the sound
when we finally tloated into what ap-
peared to be landlocked bay. All
about us were cliffs and crags and
snow-covered peaks and there, just at
the southeast corner of the bay, stand
ing like glistening monument whose
cap was hidden in the .circling wreaths

of the prairie sections, as after leav-
ing Punta Arenas We steamed through
the second and first narrows within
pistol shot of the land. This section
of the island, while less picturesque
than that contiguous to Magdalen
sound, is of much greater utility, for
it is here that the large sheep ranches
are to be found.
Scanty Resources Of Archipelago.
The physical environment of race
of people has much to do with its de-
velopment, mentally as well as physic-
ally, in the course of centuries of ex-
istence. Climate, character of the land,
resources offered in the matter of
food shelter, etc., all are important
factors which either retard or hasten
the development of the intellect and
often modify even the structure of the
body. Bearing this in mind, it IS not
at all astonishing that the Fuegian
tribes had reached but a comparative
ly low stage in the process Of their
evolution. Especially is this true Of
the Yahgans and the Alaculoofs. The
islands of the archipelago in which
they had lived for many generations
offered but scanty resources, while
the climate was certainly far from
ideal. These islands are for the most
part the tops of mountains that project
above the surface of the sea. Accord
ing to one writer: "As one sails
among them the idea that here Is a
mountain chain that at some time long
past was suddenly submerged In the
sea Is irresistible. For miles and
leagues one may coast along without
finding a beach wide enough to fur
niSh foothold, not to mention place
for hauling up yawl That the noun
tain is as precipitous below the water
as it is above is easily proved, for
soundings with the deep-sea lead line
often given 60 to 100 fathOms within
100 feet of the shore line"
