MARYLAND BOYS CALLED
TO AID The FARMER
Those Between rs And 20 Years MAY
Render Useful War Service.

Governor Harrington has issued a
proclamation calling to the colors all
| youths of Maryland between the ages
of 16 and 81 years. Their active
| service will be in the nations food
production program with the United
States Boys Working Reserve. Their
part of the fight at home will be a
large one, a part directly in hand
with that of their pig brothers"
abroad.
Enrolment III Maryland will be
under the supervision of Frank b.
Calm, representing the Federal La
Dor Bureau. Registration headQuar-
ters have been established at COL
Union Trust Building and the week
beginning May 10 will be dedicated
to the enrolment. Mr.. Calm eX-
poets to be ready TO meet the labor
demand by May 20.
The Government has asked for the
aid of Maryland's youths during the
labor crisis. The farms present the
most pressing claim and are follow
ed closely by that Of the packing
houses throughout the State The
farmer must be helped to produce
the food and the products must be
saved for consumers. For this the
boys have been called and it is be-
lieyed that the response will be ov-
erwhelming.
In return for their services Mary
land is promising the youths a def
mite understanding about reasonable
hours for labor and the wages to be
paid. The morals of the boys will
be safeguarded through constant SUI
pervision and their health will be
cared for by frequent Inspections
The wishes of the boys will be re-
garded as to placement.
Thousands of youths are at work
Other thousands are not They are
as a rule. in the high schools and
colleges There is no intention of
interfering with those already en-
ployed, but, in full belief that all I'M
employed American boys are anxious
to participate directly or indirectly
in the war, the Working Reserve has
been established in order that this
longing may be satisfied. No field
of endeayOr in the winning of the
war will be neglected by the organi-
cation.
In Germany boys IL years old and
more are being called into service to
help out in the necessary work at
home. The energy of the enemy
must be met with like endeavor on
the part of this nation and it is felt
sure that Youns America will not
hesitate TO step forward.
1t is realized that those enrolled
in the Working Reserve will come
from homes where comforts abound
Mr.. Calm Is in a position to assure
their parents that Maryland will
guard the boys with the greatest
care. Their physical and moral well
fare will be the first consideration
at all times.
Principals of all schools will be
enrolling officers and the schools will
give credits and place upon a roll of
honor those who volunteer.

sentiment to the winds where profits are concerned. and when the war Is over the nations that have been fight ing Germany will probably buy her goods unless there should be legal ob- stacles in the way.
 It has been suggested that one thing that would bring Germany to realiz- alton of what she is doing. quicker than anything else, would be concerted action on the part of the powers of the world now fighting for civilization, in declaring that they would admit no German goods within their borders for period of 10 or 15 years after the war. But it Is not easy to get the pow CTS to reach any such agreement. In this country 1t could not be enacted unless it had the active support of the administration. and President Wilson is not yet ready to take such dras- tic step.

HITCHCOCK NOW IN
 IMPORTANT PLACE
NEBRASkAN THE CHAIRMAN OF THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON
 FOREIGN RELATIONS.
CRITIC OF WAR DEPARTMENT
He Is Not Always in Harmony With the Administration-cIa kitchin Has Become an Expert in Govern ment Affairs.
By ARTHUR w. DUNN.

Washington.-In time of war tbe ehairmanship of the senate committee | on foreign relations is a nest impor-
 tant legislative position, and when the head Of this great committee is work ing in close harmony with the admins | tration it becomes the second place of responsibility in the nation. Up to the time that President Wilson had de cided that the United States must en- ter the war the late Senator Stone, chairman of the committee on foreign relations, was in close harmony with the president, and as a consequence, power at the capitol. It was Sena- tor Stone who took the prominent part ln flashing with a scorpion tongue the seven Democratic senators who defeated the first shipping bill at the close of the Sixty-third congress. SeD- ator Stone continued his position of power for nearly two years, when he became recalcitrant.
 The new chairman of the commit tee on foreign relations, Gilbert M. Hitchcock of Nebraska, was one of the men who helped defeat the shipping Dill and who were so severely arraign- ed by Senator Stone three years ago. Hitchcock also made himself some what obnoxious to what may be called the war party by offering and support ing measures designed to prevent the shipment of war materials to the bel hgerents before the United States en- tered the war. Senator Hitchcock was q supporter of the war resolution, however, and had charge of it while 1t was being considered in the senate Since that time he has again come un- der the displeasure of the administra- ton because of his energetic support of Senator Chamberlain, and as a mem- Der of the military committee by join ing in severe criticisms of the war de- partment
 Senator Hitchcock Is the first news paper owner to become chairman of very important committee in the sen ate.

A young woman who has spent most of her life at Pestdam. where the kais- CTS favorite palace is located, was in Washington while the German drive on the west front was at it's crest, She chanced to see a newspaper re- port saying that the total casualties on both sides would probably amount to 500,000.
 "Ohr' she said, venomously. "Oh :. zat kaiser! I always say to my hus- ban, Why do zey not kill zat kaiser first?'"

It would be almost impossible to de tail all the changes that have taken place in Washington since we started out to eXterminate kultur. In common with the rest of the country, Washing tonians observe meatless days. fuel less days, etc, but many other things have happened to jog the one-time sleepy old town and overturn long-es- tablished conditions. Soldiers guard the white house; searchlights brighten the sky at night; theater seats are at q premium the telephone and street car services have fallen down badly and are just beginning to recover; uni has stopped initiating Charlie Chaplin and now tries to look as much like a "doughboy" as possible). Also the cap itol dome, formerly Mecca for sight seers. is closed. It offsrs too many temptations as a standing point from which boche bombers could hurl dyna- mite down through the glass roofs over the chambers of senate and house.
 The words of an ancient political ditty describe the new Washington pretty well: "He may get over it. but he'll never look the same"
 One result of the enormously in- creased amount of government busi- ness since war was declared has been the impossibility of getting suitable buildings in which to house the new bureaus and sections of bureaus of the war and other departments. The con sequence is that these bureaus are scattered all over town, in all sorts of buildings, and in the most unlikely To- calities. The structures that have been communicated range from warehouses of musty brick to stone apartment houses with tiled floors and carved paneling on the walls. All are filled with clerks. The agricultural depart ment in Washington is housed in 8 different buildings. and the number occupied by war department divisions is far in excess of that number

Claude Kitchin. the leader of the house. has become an expert about government affairs. When he became chairman of the ways and means com mittee, as he would probably acknowl- edge himself, he was not equipped in the way of knowledge for the big task which then confronted him. But he has learned lot and keeps on studying. He not only delves into the legislation and re- ports that come to him in his capacity as chairman of great committee. but he digs deep into the bureaus of the treasury where there are vast stores of facts and figures about finance and the production of revenue. Kitchin can now handle a very intricate bill and answer all the questions that are fired at him from various parts of the house.

The constant pounding of men opposed to river and harbor bills, or many of the provisions of such bills, has had the effect of mate rially reducing those measures com pared to what they have been in the past. Instead of bills carrying appro- priations of from 40 to 90 million dol lars, bills with only IS or 20 million dollars are now reported to the house and passed. Several times the oppo- nents of these measures have caused considerable reduction. At the present time, policy has been inaugurated of making appropriations simply for con tinuing projects heretofore authorized or for work that is deemed necessary in the prosecution of the war. Nat urally that cuts down the big bills which have heretofore been passed by congress.

Elihu Root, former senator from New York, left good impression in the senate and he often receives high praise from men who were opposed to him politically. Senator Williams of Mississippi was quoting Root, and re- ferred to him as 'the best intellect that has stood upon the Republican side of this chamber since my service in this body" But that did not en- tirely satisfy him, and he remarked that he would "go a little bit further and say the best intellect that has stood upon either side of the body dur ing my service in it.' There are great many men who entirely agree with Williams.
