PUBLIC UTILITIES co. NO
GRAFTERS.

When the Annapolis Public Utilities
Company renewed its contract with
the City at the Council meeting Mon
day night for FIVE years. at the same
price for gas and electric light. as the
contract was for FIVE years ago, it
took a praise-worthy stand
1t is refreshing to know there is at
least one public utilities company
without graft in its vocabulary
With the high cost Of coal. with
labor priced high, and never so scarce
as well as high as it is today. for the
Annapolis Public Utilities Company to
renew its contract at the same figure
as that OF FIVE years ago. when such
conditions were an unknown quantity
is worthy OF note
1t Is not often company does such
commendable acts as in this instance.
and this one the part of the Annapolis
Public Utilities Company is worthy
Of more than passing recognition

A MoRTHY REC0eNITION.

BY increasing the salary of City
Commissioner w II Vansant at the
meeting Of the City Council on Mon
day night. the Board gave worthy
recognition to the efficient services OF
The faithful City Commissioner
In the past four years City Com
missioner Vansant has handled some
$4,000 Of contract work, which for
merly cost the city $4,000 yearly sal
.ry of street contractors and was not
handled near so well, and certainly
not so economically as by the present
City Commissioner
Mr. Vansant has done his work
with a marked degree OF skill and
efficiency at a meagre salary Of $500
per year. He grew 10 love the work
and put his heart and soul into Il. A
man or woman who loves their work
IS sure to make ii a success. He did.
The small salary he received did not
affect the quality of service he gave
or lis quantity, either, for he worked
long into the night oftentimes on the
city's jobs, studying out how to save
and economic to the best advantage.
The streets and cutters about the
city, laid within recent years, testify
to his skill and ability. as well as his
knowledge Of the business of city
engineer with that OF city commits
sioner.
At last, after seven long years, the
city officials in Council assembled,
have seen fit to raise his salary. fit
ting recognition of his worth and
faithful service.
We congratulate the city, as well as
its City Commissioner. whom years
ago in these columns we recommend
cd for the position. We made no mis-
take and the City Council recognizes

ing OF Religious Work In

Bringing to the Protestant Churches
OF America a message of fellowship
and cooperation from the French
Protestant Churches, Captain Georges

tor Monod, both military chaplains in
the French Army, have just arrived
in this country as official delegates
from the Federation OF French Pro-
testant Churches to the Federal Coun-
ell of the Churches of Christ in Amer
lea. They come on a purely fraternal
mission, the purpose of which is TO
show conditions in France, describe
the work being done by the Army and
Navy Chaplains. and work for closer
cooperation between the evangelizing
forces of France and America.
Both of these men have been
through active service at the front
Chaplain Lauga served first as Field
Ambulance Attendant in the Sth Divi-
sion of Infantry and later became
Military Chaplain in the 130th Divi-
sion of Infantry. on the Verdun front.
He has been twice wounded and has
been awarded the Croix-de-Guerre.
lie has been in the Argonne, at Hauts-
de-Meuse, Woevre and Chemin-des
Danes. and at three different times in
I916~was in a conspicuously active
sector OF Verdun where he went every
day TO the first line that he might
bring the men moral comfort, not
hesitating TO expose his own life
Chaplain Monod was calm in An
gust, 1914, as as hes s,iltai attendant in
surgery ward in Paris. Later he was
chaplain in the navy, on the hospital
ship "Tschad," where he served until
August. 1915. He saw service in the
Dardanelles, at Salonica and in Al
bania during the Serbian retreat.
Since June. 1917, he has been chaplain
in the army with q division of troops
from North Africa.
After being received by the Fed
eral Council in New York, the chap
lains went 10 washington, where they
were presented to Secretary Lansing
and Secretary Baker and to the
French Ambassador NJ Jusserard.
They will make three-months tour
of this country Chaplain Monod ex-
poets to make trip to the Pacific
Coast, visiting Buffalo. Detroit, Chi
cage. Minneapolis and Denver.
During the same period Chaplain

Memphis. Dallas and Fort Worth,
Joining Chaplain Monod at Denver
On November 90 they will travel to
the coast together. visiting important
cities of the West and returning to at
tend the meetings of the Executive
Committee of the Federal Council.
Later they will visit important cities
and universities in New England.
The chaplains will spend two or
three days in each city. meeting the
various social, civic and religious bod
les. will deliver occasional sermons
and illustrated lectures on the war,

French churches and the losses they
have undergone through the war and
the invasion.

CONSERVE GAS.

A plea has gone forth from the
Annapolis Public Utilities Company
asking the gas consumers to save gas,
by using 1t as sparingly as possible,
for the reason of the scarcity of coal,
ana poor quality of coal.
The request is reasonable and
should be respected and needed by all
consumers of gas in Annapolis. In
order to make the supply of coal on
hand at the gas house. which supply
is of very inferior quality. last as
long and 30 as far as possible, 1t is
necessary to use gas sparingly.
Besides, if there is any great con-
sumption or waste of gas. it will,
sooner or later, become necessary to
shut off the supply altogether
What is would mean to shut off the
supply of gas in Annapolis cannot be
appreciated or even imagined. 1t
would stop the wheels Of machinery,
clog the wheels of progress. and bust
ness would be at a standstill.
A serious condition confronts us
IL we would not have the gas supply
exhausted, we must be abstemious in
the use OF gas. Where gas stoves are
used for heating purposes, burn coal
oil stoves Turn Off the gas light up
on leaving the room or the house, In
every way, endeavor to conserve gas
as we are conserving food II is q
useful commodity and we cannot do
without IL.
Read the appeal of the Annapolis
Public Utilities Company and be gov
erned thereby Cooperate.

scheduled to take place January /,

forward, and good citizens-pro and
anti alike--ought to get behind the
Council and prepare to help in any
fight which may be made to defeat the
ordinance.
The ward saloon" is n nuisance and
Houston has reached the point where
the common welfare demands its sup
preston. There are within the ample
limits Of Houstons business district
abundant facilities to supply the alco-
holic needs OF the public without
maintaining in any residential quar-
tiers of the city saloons that are OBJ
noxious for the pestilential atmos-
phere they emit in the vicinity OF the
city's homes.
II is inexpedient to employ the po-
licemen that would be necessary to
properly police the city maintaining
the ward saloon" system. Indeed, it
Is difficult to pay the force we have
now anything like living wages.
Common experience is that the
ward saloon" is the assembling place
Of disorderly and boisterous gather
ings.
