" 1.-THE FRENCH FROLlCS."
The Next Attraction at the
Star Theatre. +,

Harry "Hello Jake" Fields, who will
be seen at the Star with "The French
Frolics' burlesque company the week

game of baseball. Mr.. Fields has the
distinction of being one of the most
original comedians in the realm of
burlesque and he has ambitions to be-
come a star in other directions. In
the lay-off season he plays baseball on
semi-professional team in his home
town in the West, and says that he
would like nothing better than to take
up ball players career. It is gener-
ally the other way, nowadays ball
players generally seek the stage in
their off season, but here is an actor
who desires to become a ball player in
his lay-off season. It only goes to
show how one profession is closely al
lied with the other. Perhaps Fields
thinks, he would become a good

had been stopping in Seaford for
about week. Tuesday morning, af-
ter making several business calls, he
started for Cannon, with view to
placing several heaters in local
schools. His route led him directly
across the tracks at the station. 1t
is reported that the flagman warned
him of the approaching train, but he
did not heed the warning, and could
not see the train for the station,
which obstructed his view. The train
strcuk the car as it was about half
way across the track, and hurled both
the driver and the car about fifty
feet. DOoley was dead when picked
up by spectators. his head being cut
open and most of the bones broken.
The car was total wreck. and parts

WARRING ON INFANT PLAGUE
Medical Scientists Place Themselves in
State Of Preparedness to RepeI
Advances Of Foe.

The best war news of home signifi-
canoe published the other day related
TO the new state of preparedness in
which our medical scientists find them
selves for the fight with infantile par
alysis and it's microbes, observes the
New York World. In case of a fresh
advance by these foes Of childhood in
the coming summer, the prospects for
a distinct repulse are encouraging.
1t is from the research forces Of the
Rockefeller institute that the bulle-
tins come of a progressive readiness.
Not least encouraging among the
discoveries of the doctors is the fact
that two centers Of generally efficient
defense are characteristic of the body
itself. One of these is in the secretionS
Of the nose and throat, the entrance
avenues of the microbes. The other is
in certain membranes, when intact,
surrounding the spinal cord and brain.
A slight injury to these membranes
will let the virus in when the disease
germs have once passed the other bar
riers. How frequently the defenses
succeeded all. around is shown by the
record of last summers attacks, only
1.59 cases of paralysis occurring to
every 1000 of population in this city.
This would mean about 16 cases to a
city of 10000 people.
Passing from natural preventive to
discovered remedies, the doctors tell of
better serum and Of methods of ad-
ministration made more effective by a
winters study and experiment. Alto
gether the research bulletins go far to
strengthen the counsel, found to be
well based even in last summers cpl
demic, against panic and nerve-racking
worry.

terested in the Project Because the
Government is Taking a Hand

So certain is the taking over Of
Kent Island, Md, by the War De-
partment ss an ordnance proving
gronnd, that a project is under way to
establish ferry between Annapolis
and the island. Interested in the
project are the Federal Government,
the Washington, Baltimore and An
napolis Electric Railway, and the
State of Maryland. The federal gov
ernment's interests lie in the fact
that if Kent Island is transformed az
seems to be sure, into a gun testing
site, the government will have to pro-
vide a means of communication by
which access will be possible for army
officers from Washington and other
points. The Washington. Baltimore
and Annapolis Electric Railway is the
logical connecting point between
Washington and the island. The State
of Maryland is interested because the
last Legislature, at it's regular ses-
sion, appropriated $780, 900 for the
purchase of ferry boat to ply be-
tween Annapolis and Claiborne in con-
nection with the States improved
road system. The appropriation was
designed to pay in part the operating
expenses of the projected ferry. The
Board of Public Works has the author
ity to pass finally upon the PROPOSE
tiOn. Since the acquisition of Kent
Island by the Federal government has
seeemd to be possible, the Board of
Public Works has laid the Annapolis
Claiborne ferry project on the shelf,
and is delaying action until the pend
ing transfer of Kent Island to the
government becomes a reality. This
would mean permanent ferry. 1t
has been urged that the State should
join the Federal government in meet
ing the operating expenses of the
Kent Island ferry, such action mean
ing large saving to the State. By
the Kent Island route. passengers via
Annapolis and the Eastern Shore
would have long distance to travel
from Love Point. then from Kent
Island. both by raj and by highway.

WHERE ENGLAND STANDS.

In the British Home of Commons Dec.
2lst, Bonar Law, the Government leader,
said of the German peace proposal:
''It is all very we'll to say, Let US get
their terms of peace Yes, but can you
get any terms more binding than the
treaty for the protection of the neutral
ity of Belgium? Can you come to any
conclusions on paper or by promises that
will gives US greater security than we
had before this war?
mot this Nation alone, but the neu-
trail Nations, will, l hope, understand
the position at which we have now
arrived. Germany has made peace pro-
posals? On what basis? On the basis of
her victorious armies. Is there man
who, considering the conditions under
which this war was forced on US and the
conditions under which the war has been
carried on, honestly believe that the
dangers and insecurities from which "
have suffered can be cured in any way
than but by making the Germans realize
that frightfulness does not pay, that
milltarism is not going to rule the world.
"What are we fighting for? Not ter
ritory, not greater strength as Nation.
We are fighting for two things-for peace
now and for security for peace in time to
come. LIT the House remember that
what has happened i'll this war-outrages
in Belgium outrages by sea and land.
massacres in Armenia which Germany
could have stopped by word-then real
ize this:
The war will have been fought in vain,
utterly in vain, unless we can make sure
that it shall never again be in the power
of any State to do what Germany has
done.

basis that the greatest crime in the
worlds history is to 90 absolutely I'M
punished? 1t is my firm belief that I'M
less all the Nations in the world can be
made to realize that these moral forces

Il am not afraid, l am sure our
troops will fight to the end. If the peo-
pie at home, who up to now have made

LIEUT.. WILBUR ]. CARVER, u. S, N.

Lieut.. Wilbur ]. Carver entered Dec.
9th on his new duties as Censor of the
German Radio Station at SayviIle, L. l.
This is one of the largest and most
powerful radio stations in the world. 1t
handles large volume of messages, and
communicates with but a single station,
which is located at Natauenbach in the
Mountains of Germany. The Sayville
station is entirely under the charge of
the United States Naval Department and
more than 60 men are required to conduct
and guard it.
Lieut.. Carver is one of three naval
lieutenants who censor all messages sent
and received, each one being on duty "a
hours at a time. In addition to this
Lieut.. L. E. Lindsey, as ranking officer
present, is in charge of the administra-
ton. Sayville is ON the southern coast
of Long Island about one and half hours
from New York City. In winter it is
village of three or four thousand inhabi-
tants, but during the season it is great
summer resort.
Lieut.. Carver at the beginning of The
war in 1914 was an officer on the armored
cruiser Tennessee on one of the most re-
markable voyages in the annals of the
Navy. This was the mercy trip OF the
Tennessee, when she carried 50. 500, 600 in
gold from America to Europe for the
relief of stranded Americans. She also
carried from places of peril to safety
zones, no less than 5429 war refugees.
In September, 1916 Lieut.. Carver was on
the Memphis. formerly called the Ten
nessee, at the time she was wrecked in
San Domingo harbor, 20 sailors drowned
and the cruiser lost. He has written an
interesting account of his personal ex-
periences during this catastrophe. Dur
ing his leave of absence Lieut., and Mrs.
Carver were the guests of Lieut. Carver's
mother, Mrs. Clara Carver, in Searsport.
They left December 26 for Sayville where
they expect to remain two years.

The Presidents Note.
What ali English Churchman Says.

LONDON, Dec. Is. The dean of West
minister, Right Rev. Herbert Edward
Ryle, preaching in the Abbey today,
said:
lit is our resolve, God helping Us, to
overthrow military brigandage in Eu-
rope, to rescue the liberties and homes
of the desolated countries, to obtain for
those people PREPARATION for their wrongs
and for humanity lasting securities
against a recurrence of aggressive vio-
lence and crime.
at Is true that the President of the
United States after two years of study
of the question and innumerable notes
seems to believe that the object OF the
two groups of belligerents is the same.
He knows that Germany refused arbl-
tration, declined conference and re-
..jected every overture to prevent war.
''He knows that his own coun rymen
have poured money like water to assist
the destitute and outraged remnants OF
the little Belgian people whose treaty
rights were violated and whose frontiers
were invaded before war was declared.
He knows Of the attractions OF The
Hague conventions, which the American
people have studiously promoted.
s1He knows of all the details of the or
ganized atrocities reported upon in strict
inquiries. He knows of the sinking OF
the unarmed passenger ships, like the
Lusitania and Arabia, without notice or
warning. He knows of the murder of
Capt Fryatt, of the nocturnal deporta-
tions OF Belgians and French into slav-
cry. He knows Of German connivance at
Armenian massacres.
