To The Dairymen Of Maryland

The Maryland Council OF Defense
is very much concerned on account
of the reports which are reaching it
with respect to disposition On the
part of some Of the dairymen to cur
tail their production, and to dispose
of their herds for other than dairy
purposes.
The Council has been expecting
that the United States Food Admin
istration, which has been considering
the matter, would feel warranted in
taking some definite action with re-
ates the magnitude of this undertak-
ing throughout the whole country.
So, in order to expedite.a solution
in Maryland, the Council has asked
DR.. A. F. Woods, President of the
Maryland State College of Agricul-
ture, to undertake, Immediately, an
investigation and report upon the
question of the cost of producing
milk in Maryland, also the cost of
bottling and distributing milk in
Baltimore city and other centers in
the State, and will publish these
findings at the earliest possible mo-
ment.
Any action which would produce
milk shortage in Maryland at a
time like this would be public ca
lamity. Everyone is being asked to
make great sacrifices, and we appeal
to you as patriotic citizens, upon
which great deal depends. not to
make any change in your business
which would tend to reduce the milk
supply, but, on the contrary, to in
crease it in every proper way. We
feel that you can safely await these
public findings, which will not be de-
layed minute beyond the time nee
essary to give this important matter
the Investigation required to get at
| the facts.

Rewards Of Valour

We have been reading, every now
and then in the last three years, OF
some American soldier in the French
or British Army, some precursor OF
Americas netrance into the war for
democracy, some ambulance driver,
aviator, doctor, nurse, getting deco
ration for bravery. How many of us
know that if an American aviator,
for example, wins the CroiX de Guer-
re, he cannot wear it. under our ar
my regulations, if he joins our ar
my? Thus valor and skill are pena-
lized, for these little gauds and rib
bons, won in the face of death, not
who are deaf to the triumph that
they died to gain," are more than
promotion, rank. Any British pri-
vate is eligible to the Victoria Cross.
1t is the greatest prize of war in that
army. A Distinguished Service Or
der is another pride and honor, pluck
ed from the edge of death. 1t is a
symbol of courage, self-sacrifice, ex-
traordinary merit; and by and for
symbols men live and die.
To Americans in the Foreign Le-
gion, the Escadrille Lafayette, the
British armies, the matter is impor-
tant. Those who have won foreign
decorations hesitate to join an army
where they are not permitted to wear
them-few but gallant spirits whom
their country needs. 1t is the men
and women of our forces, military
and civilian, who are most interest
ed. We are fighting by the side of
forces where the award of distinc-
tons is recognized as necessary and
beneficial, stimulating every brave
heart to more faithful, heroic effort.

without interruption. Imagine these
boys, lying Hat on the ground, MD
ing like rabbits from the sportsmen
Ears cooked, eyes wide open, nerves
alert, breathing restricted. waiting
patiently for the inevitable. A Sllght
movement made by any man causes
it to appear as if there were numbers
of the enemy in the vicinity. Some
times men who have a slight cough,
usually caused by inhaling gas III
some recent attack, will cough, then
you hear. Who the - that?
! Choke him!"
Rockets and Very lights are sent
skyward, Illuminating the whole
scene, and instead of being in dark
ness the party finds itself almost Ill
broad daylight. Can you blame the
men for wishing death to the one who
brought about their agony or wish
they were rats so they couldn't be
seen?
Sometime the party is surprised by
the Boches, who have heard of their
arrival through tapping the tele-
phone wires. So every message sent
out now is in secret code, but their
organization is so perfect that par
ties even now are trapped through
no fault of their own
In No Mans Land these days can
you blame a soldier for being afraid?
Can you blame him for seeking some
place that looks peaceful, quiet and
inviting? The only building of this
kind to be found On the fields of bat
tie is the Y. M. c. A. No other
place offers anything that is warm
and comfortable and looks like the
home he left to follow the flag.

to keep the home ties from being
broken? If you were in No Mans
Land you would welcome word of
kindness and encouragement from a
Y NJ. C. A. secretary or cup OF
