The War Horses

EDITOR THE TIMES:
have been requested to tell
your readers of the important
work The American Red Star
Animal Relief (Red Cross for
horses) 10 doing, and what an i'm
portant part the horse plays in
this war.
The horse has decided many of
the decisive battles Of the world.
Napoleon lost his throne and
France lost continent because
horses failed to bring up the guns.
Horses are being use on a tre-
mendous scale in this war. Trucks
do some of the heavy work but at
the danger line the horse takes on
the big responsibility. The lives
OF our men swing in the balance
while the faithful struggling
horses bring up the light guns,
the ammunition, the stores and
equipment which means the win
ming fight.
Billy Donoval tells us that in
France American horses are ev-
erywhere. Nearly q million Of
them are lying in the grey 81
lence of No Mans Land-faithful
creatures, faithful to the last;
and saving the lives of men by
giving up their own.
We have already shipped thou
sands Of horses to our own boys.
Ask Will Lexington Comfort and
the men who know II these horses
are having adequate care and
protection They will tell, you
mo" ..f
The war department has realiz-
ed this and asks the civilian who
has SO splendidly supported the
soldier with the Red Cross to get
behind the horse behind the SOL
der with immediate and generous
support for the Red Star. The
Red Star Is the war animals Red
| Cross.
The Hon. Newton D. Baker has
asked the American Humane as
ISOLATION to protect the safety of
the men, the reasonable comfort Of
the war horses and the vast sums
which war horses cost, by assist
ling the government In caring for
sick and wounded animals in its
armies. To such work The
American Humane association
now responds.
II asks the most intelligent and
the most humane people OF the
country, always represented by
the animal lover, to organize for
this patriotic work.
This society urges that every
city organize Q branch TO help
raise the funds to aid the wound
ed war horses,
Very truly yours,
MRS. ANNIE NJ. BURGESS,
Member OF The American Red
Star Animal Relief and of The
American Human Association.

EDITOR THE TIMES:

EDlIOR THE TIMES:
There are but two classes OF
people In the United States.
You are either for America, OF
against America.
There is no middle ground, nor
neutrality possible.
The battle Of arms will be won
or lost in France, but the battle OF
arms depends upon the battle for
production of domestic, indus
trial and military supplies In the
United States.
The man who interferes with or
impedes the battle for produc.
tion, or who interferes with or
impedes the lines Of transporta-
ton which must carry that which
is produced. is as guilty Of trea-
son as the man who interferes
with the battle of arms.
The man who will not pro-
duce, when the fate of the ma
ton depends upon production, is
as much Of q traitor as the SOL
der who will not shoot when the
enemy attacks.
The man who wastes domestic
or industrial commodities destroys
that which is needed for benefit
cial use, and is as much of a
traitor as the man who blows mn
the powder magazine and wastes
the ammunition necessary for de-
tense.
More pay, higher wages, bigger
profits, and war profits, can all
be classed as greed and graft
based on the axiom get more
while the getting is good"
The men who have gone to the
front have gone for Less pay than
they received in Industrial occu-
pations.
They have all left wives, sweet
hearts, sisters and mothers who
are as dear to them az yours are
to you.
These American citizens, rich
and poor alike, educated and I'M
educated, all share the same dan
gers and hardships.
= They have a right to expect
their fellow citizens at home to
provide them with ammunition
food and clothing, even II you
have to work for less pay. and
lforego all profits.
A million, 500 thousand Ameri-
cans are, or soon will be under
arms in the u. 8. armies, navy,
marine corps. national guard,
and reserves.
Without food and supplies they
VIII be helpless. and their lives
will be sacrificed on the altar of
greed and graft. for moer ply and
bigger profits.
We do not put traitors in charge
OF our powder magazines nor al
low them near the magazines, and
By the same token we should not
allow them near our food supplies

To Merge Water Works.

The Washington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission, created by an act Of the Legisla-
ture in 1915. for the purpose of investigat-
ing and studying the conditions of santa
ton. water supply and sewage in the
thickly settled and rapidly developing ter
ritory adjacent to the District Of Columbia
in Prince Georges and Montgomery coun-
ties, and to report its findings to the Leg
islature OF 1918. has about completed its
work and is now engaged in preparing the
necessary report.
William 7. S. Curtis and Emory II. Bog
ley, of Montgomery county; T. Howard
Duckett, of Prince Georges county, secre-
chief engineer of the State Board of Health.
and his assistants, have been for the past
two years investigating the possibilities of
bringing all the territory surrounding the
District of Columbia and from six to ten
miles from the District line under one
general and cO-Ordinated system for the
supply Of water and for proper sewerage
facilities. They have reached the point
where they are in a position to make def
mite recommendations to the Legislature.
Thursday night they met the official rep
resentatives from all incorporated towns
having sewerage plants and water works,
for the purpose of formulating a plan for
the cooperation Of the towns and their
coordination with the whole system.
The commission explained that its work
had progressed to the point where their
plans would depend largely upon the at
ttude Of the Incorporated towns now pos
sessing water and sewerage plants. These
plans, the commission stated. propose a
complete water supply and sewerage sys-
TEN for all the built-up territory and ex-
tensions Of the present systems as the de-
velopment of the various communities
would seem to Justify. The entire territory
is to be divided into drainage areas, each
with Its trunks and laterals and each cover
ing some well-defined typographical divis-
ion Of the territory. 1t is proposed to supply
the areas as quickly as the work can be
started and their necessities demand it.
Each area, it is pointed out. contains at
least one town with its own water works
and sewerage system. and these towns must
either be brought into the whole system
as an entirety or operated as a separate
unit by the local governing body.
After thorough discussion Of the merits
Of the suggested plans. ii was agreed that
it would be advisable that the commission
recommend that the town systems be taken
over as a whole, the towns be paid fair
value for their plants and then operated
as part Of the general system. In this
way, it was agreed, much duplication Of
work would be eliminated. many overhead
charges saved, uniform water and sewer
age system for the whole territory assured
and great amount Of money saved by
the elimination Of geographical lines.

The Coal Situation

Mr.. Ferdinand A. Meyer, United States
Fuel Administrator for Maryland. has ap-
pointed Messrs Philip D. Laird. Charles
r. Darby and Allan Farquhar commit
tee to report upon the fuel conditions in
Montgomery county. This committee has
already sent in a preliminary report. and
in response to it supplies of coal have
been sent to few points which seemed to
be most in need Of it. Great difficulty has
been experienced in obtaining accurate
information of the conditions in many
sections of the county, and the committee
would be greatly Obliged for any details
which will enable it to make the neces-
sary demands upon the authorities for
coal of all kinds. not only for domestic use
but for manufacturing and operating ma
chinery. Communications may be sent
to Mr.. Laird at Rockville, Mr.. Darby at
GAINESVILLE or Mr.. Farquhar at Sandy
Spring. The conditions are generally bad
throughout the country, but every effort
will be made to relieve the most pressing
local needs as promptly as transportation
facilities will permit.

Death OF W. W. Welsh.

Following an illness of ten days. William
Wallace Welsh, for many years one of our
leading merchants, died last Sunday morn
ing at his home here, aged 70 years. of
pneumonia. Surviving him are his wife,
formerly Miss Margaret Higgins, and the
following children: F. Barnard Welsh, who
has been practicing law in Colorado for
number Of years. and Robert H. and Miss
Mary Welsh. of Rockville. He was a brother
Of Warner W. and Turner w. Welsh, of this
town.
Mr.. Welsh was native of this county
and resident of Rockville for forty years.
He was a director and treasurer of the
Farmers Banking and Trust Company here
since its organization twenty years ago ;
was trustee of the Rockville Academy
and a member of the Rockville Lodge of
Masons.
BY the death Of Mr.. Welsh Rockville
loses one of htr most prominent citizens
and good man. Capable and successful
in the conduct of his business, he had won
the respect and confidence Of the cOmmu-
nifty not only by sterling honesty. but by
his public-spirited interest in the welfare
of the town and by his kindness and
liberality had earned the affection of those
who came in contact with him to a degree
Of which he was probably not aware.
Devoid of pretension in all its forms. he
set an example of earnest industry and
upright dealing, which is a rich heritage
for the family to which he was so warmly
devoted and to which the sympathy of
the community goes out in full measure.
