LET THEM VINCE.

Many of our Metropolitan dailes are
brick-batting Congressman Galloway
for his recent speech in Chicago, where
in he charged that said papers, mum.
ton makers, etc., etc, are leagued to-
gether to force the United States into
war. But despite the bowls of the
press, there is very general feeling
among the general run of people that
Mr.. Galloway was striking close home
in his remarks. Only few days ago
U. S. Senator Stone, chairman of the
Foreign Relations Committee, said:
There is no shadow of doubt in the
mind of any fair thinking man that
there is a cabel of great newspapers in
this country seeking to create senti-
ment and coerce the Government of the
United States into an attitude of hos
tlllty with one of the belligerent now
ers. believe anyone who makes such
raise statements is public enemy and
that he should be punished.
Now comes Congressman Galloway
with the following indictment, which
we spread before our readers as worth
attention at any rate:
Munition makers, capitalists, Ameri-
can admlrals, generals, captains and 81.
called metropolitan newspapers are
leagned together to force the limited
States into the European war.
Great newspapers got together in
1915. at the instance of the bio NM

States into war. ''eN

Bone Dry Law Makes 1t Crime to
Garry Flask of Liquor Into
Dry State.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.-The Reed
prohibition amendment which was
adopted by the House yesterday is be-
lieved to make every state bone dry.
Hereafter no citizen of West Virginia
who is in Cumberland may take home
with him flask of liquor for his per-
sonal use without running the risk of
prosecution.
Eminent lawy ers in both the House
and Senate today gave opinions that the
bone dry" feature of the postoffice ap-
preparation bill which now lacks only
the Presidents signature to become law
is so sweeping that it not only prohibits
the shipment of intoxicantsinto prohbi-
ton territory but 1t makes it crime
for man travelling from wet to dry
territory TO carry flask of liquor with
him.

HOW WARS HAVE STARTED.

Had there been an ocean telegraph
in 1872 there might not have been
war with England at that time. Five
days after President Madison signed
the declaration of war. England re-
called the orders in council which had
provoked it. The purpose to recall the
orders was unknown in America,
while IN England nothing was known
of the war declaration when the or
ders were revoked. This wars most
important battle, that of New Orleans,
was fought Is days after the treaty of
peace had been signed at Client. 1t
was this battle which made Jackson a
popular idol and gave him the Presi-
dency. The first step in the Crimean
war was Russia s invasion of Moldavia.
months before diplomatic rupture with
England and France. The firing on
Fort Sumter. which started the war
between the States is familiar story.
The first shot OF the France russian
war was by French soldier on guard at
Strasburg bridge day or two before
Napoleon III formally took the field.
The attempt on Blsmarck's life as he
Was walking down the Inter den Lin
den on May 7, 1866, rallied public senti-
ment to him and his policy, and from
dramatic standpoint may be said to
have been the first shot in the Austro-
Prussian war. The blowing up of the
Maine was the first blow In the Spanish
American war, which ended Spanish
possessions in the New World. If there
should be war with Germany it will
start with some unlawful act of a U.
boat on the high seas. From Leslie's
Weekly.

HATCHERY FOR MARYLAND
Will Be Established For Propa-
CATION of Trout.

The necessity for the increase of food
products now available, and the intro
duction of others not now prevalent, is
recognized by every thoughtful person.
Without discussing the reasons for high
costs of food, it is apparent that there
are some reasons which will always
continue as factors, and that, therefore,
the food problem calls for conservation.
The Conservation Commission is
striving to increase all classes of marine
foods for which Maryland has such
wonderful possibilities in the produc-
ton of oysters, fish, crabs, clans and
terrapins. 1t has been the custom
heretofore to depend solely upon nature
for this production and then to tax it
to its utmost without attempting to
eliminate wasteful practices or to aid
nature by propagation. 1t would be an
innovation in Maryland to have the
people interested in and cooperating
with department that would under
take such work, but that is exactly
what the Conservation Commission
asks of the people of MARYLAND, and if
such cooperation is accorded the re-
suit will be astounding.
Among the things in contemplation
is the establishment of TROUT hatch
cry somewhere in Western Maryland.
The restocking of the streams of
Western Maryland with this fish. the
prevention of waste and destruction.
and the enforcement of adequate pro-
tectlve laws, with the aid of an inter
ested public, will in time supply an i'm
portant food article. The Commission
will be unable to establish such hatch
cry this season; but in order to begin
the restocking of the streams with
trout or bass, it will endeavor to pro-
cure from the U. S. Bureau of Fish
cries supply of small fish for such
streams as give promise of result, and
are free from pollution by deleterious
mining or manufacturing wastes. APP
plication blanks will be furnished to re-
liable persons in any locality where
there are streams suitable for this pur-
pose, provided the applicants will en-
gage to have the small fish not only
properly liberated in these streams, but
will assume a voluntary supervision
over them until maturity. For further
information, apply to the office of the
Conservation Commission OF Maryland,
