FAMOUS ITALIAN CAVALRY
HARNESSES INVADERS

German and Austro-G German troops
are driving through the plains of We
netia toward the Tagliamento river
while another army Is ~endeavOring to
break through the Italian defenses In
the Carnic Alps, in an attempt to out
flank the Tagliamento line. Udine,
abandoned some days ago by General
Cadorna, has been occupied by the in

line should take place within a day

on the Austro-Italian border and 1t is
probably not unlikely that General Ca

there to better protect the line Of the

vance toward the upper course Of the
T%agliamento but does not say how
near the German forces are 10 that
river.
Since last Wednesday the Austro-
Germans have occupied more than 500
square miles of territory formerly
held by the Italians. The greatest
depth of the advance has been from
Tolmino s~outheastward to Udine, a
distance of about rs miles. The Unit

WOMEN AND GIRLS
Cannot Be Too Careful Strange Men
Lurk About

A warning is being passed around
from mouth to mouth that women and
girls in this city and vicinity cannot
be too careful to keep front and back
doors locked when alone in their
homes.
Recently a married woman, who
lives on one of the principal streets
here, was seated in her dining room
reading. The feeling that some one
was looking at her caused her to look
up. from her book and she saw q
strange colored man in the side yard
looking steadily at her through the
window.
With the Brandon murder fresh in
her mind she got up, locked the front
and back door and closed in the win
dow shutters. The man actually came
back second time and looked in the
window.
What was her surprise the next day
when this same man delivered the ice.
She made protest to the driver of
the ice wagon, saying a white boy had
always delivered the ice previously
and was told the man had been picked
up on the street as helper. as the
regular one had gone off.
The lady in question reported the
matter to the police and, upon investi-
CATION it was found the colored man
was stranger in town, which,. how
ever, made the experience none the
less frightful.

Six Reasons Why Maryland
Farmers Wives Should Vote

/. Because the farmers wife is
the farmers working partner. and she
ought to have an equal right to vote
on questions affecting their business.
2. Because she is vitality affected
BY the law under which inspectors
from the city can investigate farm
produce and drasticslly enforce farm
laws.
8. Because she is deeply concerned
in the laws governing her neighbor-
hood. If the farm hands vote license,
1t ia the farmers wife who suffers.
d. Because by her work on the
farm she helps to pay road taxes, and
she should he allowed to vote on where
the roads are built.
s. Because experience in the
oranges has shown that women vote
for farm interests.
6. Because the votes of the farm
women would double the rural vote.
Farmers have less political influence
than they had before the Civil War.
Farmers need to get back their
political power to protect their in
terests.
Farm interests concern the farmers
wife just as much as the farmer.
Farmers and their wives voting to-
gether would conserve farm interests
Maryland farmers. your best inter
ests would b. served by votes for your
wives. - Suffrage News.

RED CROSS
CALLS FOR KN|TTERS
Knitted Mufflers, Sweaters And
Socks Needed In France.
PEOPLE DREAD COLD WINTER
Supplies Required For American And
Allied Soldiecs, As Well As
Civilians.

A cabled appeal for the immediate
shipment OF supplies to France has
reached the American Red Cross from
Major Grsyson M. P. Murphy. Major
Murphy, as the head of the Red Cross
Commission in France. has been MAX
ing a survey of conditions in the war
zone and ..the districts which harbor
refugees. His cable emphasizes the
urgent need in Europe for vast
amounts Of hospital and knitting sup
plies. Major Murphy says:
begin shipping at once one and a
half million each knitted muffiers,
sweaters, socks and wristlets. These
are desperately needed before cold
weather. In view of the sh ,rtege of
fuel and other discomforts they will
be of incredible value in both military
and civilian work.
Last winter broke the record for
cold and misery among the people
here. They inexpressibly dread lest
the coming winter find as without sup
plies to meet the situation. | urge
you on behalf of our soldiers and those
of our Allies who will suffer in the
frozen trenches. Thousands of Bel
gian and French refugees and repatri-
ates are being returned through
Switzerland and France.
INSTRUCTIONS PREP AIRED.
The Woman's Bureau of the Red
Cross, under the direction of Miss
Florence NJ. Marshall, has prepared
directions with complete information
as to the knitted articles asked for by
Major Murphy The circular which
will be available to any woman who
applies to the nearest Red Cross chap
ter, tell exactly how to obtain yarn,
detailed knitting instructions, and
where to send the garments for i'm
m ediate shipment to France.
That the work should go forward as
rapidly as possible, and with no
chance of failing down, an allot.
ment of the great task is being made
by the national authorities to the Is
divisional managers of the Red Cross
who direct it's administration under
the new decentralization plan.
TO DISTRIBUTE WORK OVER
NATION
The division manager, when they
have been informed of their territory's
total share, will divide the work
among the chapters in their divisions.
The allotment system follows the gen.
raj spirit of the Liberty Loan and
tie Draft Army. Each section of the
country will have its specified part
to do
Every chapter will know the number
of wooden sweaters and other articles
that must be knitted by the women
whose willingness to serve has been
registered with them.
The work must be done with all pos
sible speed. Finished articles will he

The Camera as Detective.

The camera has been frequently in
strumental in the detection Of Grim
inals. In case of forgery photography
is invaluable, for there is no forger In
the world clever enough to battle its
detective skill. An interesting proof
Of this was provided few years ago
in the case Of forged will. An en-
larged photograph revealed the pen
ciled lines over which the signatures
of the testator and witnesses had been
written, although no trace of them
was visible through the microscope.
This is one of the peculiarities of the
camera, that 1t brings to light marks
which are invisible through a micro
scope, just as 1t has been known to re-
veal the signs Of measles and smallpox
several days before they become visible
to the naked eye.

FRUIT AND VEGETABLES
Rottiue For Want Of Farm Labor
SIackers A-Plenty HereabOuts
Law Effective Monday

The Governor has said there are TO
he no slackers on the farms or in the
city. Slackers are a-plenty hereabouts
AT this time. although the Compul-
sorry Labor Law, printed in another
column of this paper does not become
effective until next Monday August
10Th.
Farmers throughout Anne Arundel,
as well as other counties are suffer
ing for want of help on the farms.
Fruit is rotting on the trees for want
of pickers and vegetables are deeaying
ON the ground because farm labor can
not be obtained
All laboring men willing TO work
have gone to Camp Meade where they
are employed at the army cantonment
at high wages. Farmers who were
urged to plant. plant, plant" and
who did plant as they never planted
before. are having to give their crops
away. rather than let them go TO
waste
This morning the automobile OF
Mrs. Dennis Claude, of Murray Hlli'
came in from the farm of Anton
Steiner. on the South River road,
loaded with peaches, canteloupes,
watermelons and tomatoes, which
Mr.. Steiner had urged the ladies to
take home. He said he could not get
labor, and worked himself in the
field late at night often by moonlight
as well as early the morning and dur
ing the day. He had planted large
crop at the governments suggestion
and dictation. but labor is out of the
question and he has to give his fruits
and vegetables away largely for the
picking or let them go TO waste.
1t is the same everywhere, this
scarcity of farm labor, and it is hoped
after Monday that the idlers in town
and county may be compelled to work
or go to Jail, and the law may be en-
forced to the letter.

STORM TIES UP
w., B. & A. SERVICE
Electric Line Between Annapolis, Wash
ington and Baltimore Crippled

Terrific electrical storms in Wash
ington and points of Maryland contig-
uous to this city yesterday afternoon
completely put the Washington, Balti-
more and Annapolis Railway system
out of the running, stopped tempo
rarily the Western Union Telegraph
Company's service to New York and
other points in the North and disrupt
ed service on many trolley lines in the
state Thousands of perSons were in
convenienced by the storms, which
were among the worst which have
struck this part of the country in
years.
The entire system of the Washing
ton, Baltimore AMI Annapolis line was
tied up shortly after 8 o'clock last
night and number of cars between
Washington, Baltimore and Aunap-
oils were tied up. Hundreds of pas
senger, marooned on the car, sat in
the dim light thrown by the hand lam
terms of the conductors and wondered
when service would be resumed.
Dispatches received in Baltimore
last night, after the telegraph service
between Philadelphia and that city
was resumed, declared that the me-
tropolis of Pennsylvania had been
visited by one of the severest storms
and that the streets of the city were
flooded from curb TO curb.
The service of the Western. Union
Telegraph Company was interrupted
for over two hours, and then the ser
vice was resumed only by line at a
time.
At Spsrrows Point near Baltimore,
the lightning struck the power trans
mission cables carrying $4,000 volts,
and as a consequence the great Bethle-
hem Steel Company wis without
power service and the entire town was
without electric lights for several
hours.

The Flea.

The flea is one of the most annoying
OF household pests. In many cases
fieas are bred on dogs or cats, and the
first thing to be done is to eliminate
the source of supply. If the animal is
not badly infested, insect powder, well
rubbed into the hair, or a creolin wash,
may be effective. Remove all carpets
and similar articles and scrub the
floors thoroughly with hot soapsuds
or I've, being careful to get into every
crack and crevice. Fleas thrive IN dirt
and do not like to be disturbed.

New York Feb 3.---In wonderful demonstration of
patriotic exhortaton and concerted pool action by big
interests the stock market turned upward and be-
booming market today
1t was reported the best authority in the street
that the big German houses which have been selling short
in anticipation of break of the submarine crisis
were caught by the upturn
American flags appeared in the street after the
news of the break with Germany spread and brokers
Jumped upon chairs in their offices and made speeches
to their customers, advising all to their short sales
Henry CleWs, octogerarian member of the exchange,
was one of the speech makers.
II advise everybody in this house to cover" he said
"The United States is entering period of tremendous
prosperity.
'1ve been through the civil war myself and believe
the United States is unbeatable"
Similar scenes were enacted in dozens of offices.
The market which had broken to five points,
turned upward with rush. advances ranging from
to ten points, amid whirl Of patriotic enthusiasm
The general understanding in the street was that
Standard Oil and Morgan interests joined in planning
big COUP of the greatest in Wall Street history when
it became apparent that break would come and that
German houses selling in anticipation OF cashlng IN
on the expected decline. The interests supported the
market and today there spread through the street stories
predicting great railroad and industrial earnings should
war come
The German crowd has planted in the market reports
of successive crisis passports for Bernstor and bear
stories of various nature for months At each successive
crisis real imaginary they have been short and have
covered the decline, making big profits. Wall Street
ruors have connected Won BenstOrff himself with these
operations.
The coup Of big American interests today apparently
turned the tables on the German crowd which has been
reported ping UP gigantic short interest for weeks.
The object of the drive upon this group is to leave them
hanging on limb short probably to the extent OF mil
lions and with chance to cover except at huge losses
