Three Amendments.

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuN--SIr: Your
editorial article entitled Three Amend
ments to the State Constitution" was GER
tainly most instructive.
There have recently been references
in your columns to nineteen amendments
to the State Constitution which the
voters will be asked TO pass upon al the
coming election. have always felt
that the public in general were not sun 10
ciently informed in advance on such
matters so as to pass upon them m
diligently at the polls.
Therefore, could you not print these
amendments in full with comments
which | know would be very much APP

"Only a Leader Needed" Says the Author

eeN low, all these women need IS a
l Y leader"
Karl Alderman, whose accuracy no
one has questioned, states in his book,
German, the Next Republic?" that
in 1916 sixty thousand children died of
malnutrition in Berlin alone.
These women have lost their fathers,
husbands, sons-well, that is the for
tune of any war; but they are beginning
to understand that they have lost them,
not in a war of self-defense, but to
CRAFTY the insane ambitions and greed
of a dynasty and a military caste that
are out of date in the twentieth century.
Their parents, when over sixty,
have died from the same cause as the
children. Their daughters, both I'M
married and newly widowed, are "offi-
cially" compelled to be the mothers of
children the names of whose fathers
they do not know. The German victims
are sent for, then sent home to bear an
other child for Germany.
Nov we know what the German
men are These women are capable
of precisely the same ruthless tactics
when pushed too hard-if they have a
leader" -Gertrudo Atherton

A NEW MOTOR MAIL
ROUTE ESTABLISHED.
Annapolis Put On Line Connect
ing Washington With Phila-
delphia In Daily Trip.

Running through from Washington
TO Philadelphia, by way of Annapolis,
a newly established motor mail route
has within the past week done much
to relieve mail matter congestion over
the railroad mail routes. Running
over a line which makes its first stop
in Anne Arundel at HARDWOOD, and then
goes on through Baltimore to Belair,
Hartford County, where a relay point
is established, two big motor trucks
make the round trip daily.
The first truck reaches Annapolis
about S.15 each morning, having come
wrom Washington with stops not only
at Harwood Lothian, Birdsville and
Edgewater, but at the individual farm
of any and every farmer who has gar
den truck he desires to send through
either to consumers in Baltimore or
points along the line clear to the
Quaker city. Returning the truck
leaves Annapolis on it's trip back TO
Washington about 4.30 each afternoon.
The new line in addition to the re-
lief it gives the railroad routes, is
proving a veritable boon to countians.
The regular Annapolis to Solomon's
mail reaches most of the lower Anne
Arundel points in time for persons to
go to their post Office or mail box and
there receive mail on its down trip
and answer it and get the reply in the

time to get a reply from Annapolis or
Baltimore the same day

MEAT CONSUMPTION
MUST BE CUT.

Appeal to the public to voluntarily
reduce consumption of meat to pro-
vide sufficient supplies for the Army
and the Allies, and thus avoid rein
PRODUCTION of meatless days is made
by the food administration.
Warning is given that the seasonal
shortage of meat is now on, and ship
ment of live stock to the markets will
steadily decline for the next few
months, making it imperative that
conservation measures be taken if the
needs of the Army and the allies are
to be met.
These requirements amount to about
100000 pounds of meat and meat
products per week, against a pre-war
normal of less than 100000 lbs.
The administrations statement
points out that the allies have re-
duced their net per capita meat and
poultry consumption to the average of
about one and a quarter pounds per
week, so as to save shipping needed
for the transport of American forces
overseas. The per capnta meat con
sumption in this country is about
and quarter pounds per week
