10000 CAMP MEADE
men DISAPPOINTED
Were Planning to Spend Christmas
With Their Families, But Secre-
tary Baker Says Burroughs Must
BE. Discouraged.

Ibr discouraged.
Camp Meade. Md Dec. 17.-Old
Man Gloom trotted into camp today,
and nearly 10000 men are disap-
pointed. disgruntled and unhappy.
Orders were issued that no officers
or men would be granted leave of
absence on Christmas Day. except
under unusual circumstances, no
matter whether they lived within
trolley distance OF the cantonment or
elsewhere.
The order came when hundreds in
the Seventy-ninth Division of the
National Army from points in Penn
syIvania We're planning to spend the
holiday with felloW-soldiers from
Baltimore, and representatives of
the Maryland Council of National
, Defense were planning to have Bal
timOreans open their homes on
Christmas Day to entertain the sol
dierS of the new army.
In conference with the newspa-
per correspondents Brigadier General
w. J. Nicholson, acting division COM
mander, said he felt deeply hurt to
take such d stand, because of the
/ disappointment it would be TO many
! OF the men. but he said he felt that
there were other things more i'm
! portant to be considered. He said
! he had gone so far as to order Gen
| eral Nicholson to remain in camp on
/ Christmas Day, although he had been
! invited to spend the day in Washing
| ton"
! 1T would be unfair said the
| General, for Us to call upon the
! railroads to furnish us extra trans
portation facilities to enable APP
proximately 10000 men-half of the
number hereto go to their homes
at time when the railroads are
| hard hit to care for the necessities
of public utilities IN their freight
| shipments; then. too, it would be I'M
fair to say that those men who live
within trolley distance c go
nUme iUr the aocyi,7 WHIT tf1e ocieefs'
should remain. 1t is, indeed, very
kind for the good people of Balti-
more to extend their hospitality to
the Pennsylvania soldiers, but hard
ly more than a few thousand could
be accommodated and to select this
number would bring about discrimi-
nation and at the same time cause
additional transportation difficulties
over the electric line, which will
have all it can do on that day to
haul the visitors who come to the
camp"
The General also explained that
many of the men are apt to subject
themselves to various forms of dis
ease during their visit home and in
feet other men upon their return
here. AT this time of the year." he
said, measles, pneumonia, smallpox
and other such diseases are preva-
liant, and we cannot afford to delay
the military training because of the
appearance of certain contagious dis
eases, which results in the quaran-
tine of an entire company at
time" He also explained that the
authorities will provide real Christ
mas dinner for the men, with tur-
key and all the FILINGS, and that they
can go the limit in celebrating the
feast in the cantonment.

No Sale Held.

The City Tax Collector had no
sale for taxes last Saturday as
was advertised in The Times.
This was a very pleasant failure
to him for all came up at the
eleventh hour and paid their tax,
thereby preventing the sale.
These people were good people,
who had no real objection to pay
ing city tax, but we're tired of
doing so, while so many others
refused to. But when Collector
Mcintosh showed them that he
was making all the taxpayers
come across, they were willing
and ready to pay. This is fair.
All should pay or none should be
compelled to paw. And it seems
that our Collector is determined
that all shall pay.

Otis Allen, of Rosslyn, was
tried Monday for being the faith
or of Annie Morton's child, and
the jury found HIM guilty aud
bound him to pay the child $l2 so
month till it is sixteen years Of
age. Rather stiff medicine, some
think, but it serves the young
man right. Annie was a poor
motherless, almost fatherless,
girl of fifteen years of age; with
nothing of her own except as her
uncle Dick Morton provided for
her. 1t would not have been
right for this weak, almost de.
fenseless, girl SO young in years
TO have borne her shame alone.
There should have been law
compelling Otis to marry her and
10 have seen that he treated her
kindly, provided for her bounti-
fully, and made her a good home.
Once in a while girl like this
rises above her shame and makes
a splendid woman and is respect
ed by everybody-but not often.
On the other hand, the young
man can go with almost any girl
he wishes to. He mingles freely
with former companions and
associates as though nothing had
ever taken place. His disgrace
is soon forgotten. Aud so, be-
cause he will not suffer from his
shame, we are glad that he is
compelled to pay this $3.50 Q
month. We trust it will be a.
lesson TO him. And even now
we would advise him TO marry
the girl, make her good home
and stand by the one he has so

Revive RumOr Germans Are
Planning Invasion.
War Cabinet Taking Steps To
Meet Emergency.

London, Nov 14.-'"The war cabinet
is considering all possibilities of an in
vasion," declared Chancellor of the
Exchequer Bonar Law, in the house
of commons today. His statement
was in answer to a specific query ap-
parentIy induced by several recent re-
ports as to German plans.
More or less circumstantial rumors
afloat during recent weeks, have car
ried the story that the Germans We're
boring a tunnel under the channel to
attack England, and had been at the
work ever since they reached the Bel
gian sea coast. Other rumors of the
projected invasion of England by Ger
man troops were revived in British
front stories revealing that the Ger
man general staff had issued English
German conversatio books to many
of it's soldiers.
