by the roadside little ones, separated from parents
lie starving. dying-ALONE!
Millions OF children have starved TO death in our
common cause. Weakened, exhausted, by three years
of mderfeeding and exposure, millions more will die
this winter If We do not help them.
10 CENTS will give starving child one days life.
DOLLARS one months life,
35 DOLLARS one years life
Over half million American boys and girls are
working and sacrificing month by month to help
This Christmas our Soldiers and Sailors are offering
their lives 10 save these starving children

exchange Christmas gifts. Won't YOU write at least
one friend that YOU are sending the money-cost of
his or her remembrance to the Children Of Americas

little body, and ask that your gift be sent likewise
This exchange of gifts means temporary pleasure
to you-life or death to them

KASER'S WIFE OUT
HE HATED HIS OWN MOTHER -
WITHERED ARM HIS REASON FOR
THAT AND WILHELM II PRIDES
HIMSELF ON RULING own FAMILY.

The most lonely woman in Europe,
that's the picture Of the Kaiserin as
drawn by Ed. f. Trefts, now of the
Hoover food staff, but formerly of the
| United States Chamber of Commerce
and twice a confidential representa-
tive of President Wilson on missions
to Europe
She is an eXemplar to the German
housewife of all the virtues the
housewife should show" he says.
THE position of the German woman
is that of child-bearer and servile
minister to her husbands wants
That is the Kaiserin in her home
She has no part in the plans of the
Kaiser for world domination, save the
bearing of his sons. She's not allowed
a part. She has no sympathy with his
plans, neither does she oppose them.
She is not allowed to. In fact she
knows nothing of them.
| She is probably the most ignorant
person at court on matters connected
with diplomacy and the war.
THE German peasant woman waits
on her husband doing him service
The Kaiserin, in another sense, waits
on the Kaiser, and his decision is her
law.
Not so i'm the time of his father.
His mother, daughter of Queen Vic
toria of England, was a real influence
with his father, a rather easy-going
quiet man.
! That mother he learned to hate,
and all connected with her.
Her he blamed for his withered
arm, received at birth, an ever-pres-
ent humiliation to him and hated
handicap to his imperial ambition.
Hating her, he hated her influence
with his father. His youthful battles
were fought against her and her in
fluence. So that when he married, his
mind was set against a wife having
aught to say on any subject outside
the management of the home; and
even then the mans voice was to be
dominant. So it has been in his fan
lily life.
You hear little of the kaiserin in
connection with the war-maybe the
story of tear now and then, maybe
the story of kindness to a soldier or
his suffering widow at great intervals
no national tradition of a ministering
angel to the suffering, such as has
grown up of other queens, even about
the chilling personality of Queen Mary
of England.
The Kaiser, absolute monarch OF
all Germany, is also absolute monarch
of his home. The Kaiserin, lonely in
her isolation, is crowded to one side
even there, the most lonely woman in
Europe"

RECEIVERS FOR
CREAMERY
WAKEFIELD CREAMERY COMPANY AP-
PLIES FOR BENEFIT OF BANKRUPTCY
ACT-W. FRANK THOMAS APPOINT.
ED RECEIVER.

A voluntary petition was filed by
the Wakefield Creamery Company In
the United States District Court, i'm
bankruptcy, yesterday and an applica-
ton of creditors. Judge Rose appoint
ed w. Frank Thomas, this city, re-
ceiver and he has qualified by filing
the necessary bond and has taken po-
session of the property and assets
of the company. Mr.. Thomas will
make sale of the perishable goods,
at once. Charles o. Clemson, this city,
is attorney for the receiver.
This company was organized about
four years ago with a capital stock
Of $4,000 and then purchased the
Roop's Mill property and installed a
we'll equipped and expensive plant
for the manufacture of ice cream,
condensed milk, etc, and had its
principal place of business there un-
til recently when the plant closed
down. A large number of Carroll and
Frederick county farmers are cerdl-
tors, having shipped milk to the cream
cry and the bills not having been paid
in full and besides there are num-
ber of concerns from which the COM
/ pany purchased goods that remain
unpaid. The liabilities of the COM
pany as reported in their petition
show debts of about $4,000 while
the claimed assets total but about
| $4,000. OF the assets, the real estate
is under a mortgage, or deed of trust
to secure $4,000 of bonds issued and
outstanding with interest, which Is
a preferred lien, and which will SO
much reduce the possible pro rata
distribution to the common creditors.
1t will therefore appear from the in
formation obtainable that the credi-
tors will suffer heavy losses on their
claims

PIGS STARTED THE
WAR.
DISPUTE ON EXPORT DUTIES AROSE
BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND SERBIA.

Pigs started the war-and pigs may
end it. 1t was a question of impor-
tant export duties on pork that caus-
ed the political disputes between Aus
tria-Hungary and Serbia. The Mag
var farmers and the Serbian peas
ants were competitors in the pig buSi-
ness. The Hungarians wanted to
keep the foreign product on the other
side of the Danube. The Serbs in
sisted upon selling their live stock in
Bosnia and Herzegovina cheaper than
the Magyars. Quite often pigs were
smuggled across the border. So be-
tween Belgrade and Budapest and
Vienna there was always a dispute.
Pigs were at the bottom of the whole
controversy.
Intermingled and confused with
this economic problem was the ques-
ton of Influence in the Balkan States
There were business jealousy, court
intrigue and political hatred. Count
Stefan Tisza, working through the
late Emperor Francis Joseph and
the Ex-Czar Nicholas was the chief
player at this little international
chessboard, while the other great
Powers looked on. Serbia was the
pawn. An international quarrel could
be stirred up at almost any time
The assassination of the Austrian
heir and his consort in June, 1914,
brought the dispute between Serbia
and Hungary to head.
Pigs may indeed help end the war,
but not if the United States kills
them off and fails to raise more than
she is producing today. The world
demands fats today, but the foreign
nations, including Germany, France
and England, will demand more when
the war ends. Europe will not be in
a condition to raise pigs as soon as
peace comes. Certainly Germany will
not be able to do so without importing
fodder. The United States, with its
almost unlimited fields, will have to
supply the greater part Of the worlds
demand
When Germany gets ready to make
peace with the world her first terms
are not going to be demands for ter.
ritory and indemnities. Germany's
first needs will be food and raw ma
terials. And Germany will have t
make concessions and get these
things. If the United States and the
Allies control the raw materials O
the world and have the quickes
cupPAASo VI AoIo, NCl AA1oll-
will have to meet their terms, be
cause there is no possibility of Ger
many improving her present condition
without the world supplies.
The future food supply of German.
is in the United States and SOutl
America. This country is a bellig
erent, and the Allies control the SCI
, lanes to Latin America. The peac
that Germany makes will be dictated
by her economic needs, and the long
: er the war lasts the more pressin,
these needs will become. If we Cal
: offer the German people peace on tn
basis of their political freedom ent
: promise them food we shall win
Peace for the German people mean
Freedom and food

4 Gift To Civic League.

The Westminster people are to be
congratulated upon having, for many
well-known reasons, a Women's Civic
League and one, whose friends, it
seems, are not confined to West
minister alone.
This fact was emphasized this week
in the receipt of generous collection
of hardy perennials, which have al
ready been planted i'm the triangular
plot at the railroad on East Main
street. They we're given by the
Franklin Davis Nursery, of Baltimore.
Members of the Home Garden
Committee of the League, Of which
Mrs. Koontz is chairman, superin-
tended the planting, with Mrs. DR..
Bare actively in charge, the planting
being done by the Western Maryland
Railroad
Mr.. Stoner, of the Westminster
Nurseries has also kindly offered
some Towering stock for other prom
inent localities, all of which it is GER
tain will be highly appreciated by the
public generally, who will, later on,
enjoy these spots made beautiful
through the generosity of these two
firms, AZ well as by the zeal OF the
women OF the Civic League.
