LAW AND ORDER
in HOLY Land
British Army Re-Establishes
Civil Courts in Several
Districts
COURT STAFFS
TO BE NATIVES

BY Newspaper Enterprise Association.
LONDON, Aug. 23.-Wlth the gradual
flight Of Turks and Germans from Pal
estine, law and order are again being
restored, and inhabitants Of the Occu-
pied territory are beginning to realize
what good government is like.
England has issued a decree re-es-
tablishing civil courts in Palestine and
assigning a court Of appeals In Jeru-
salem. Two additional courts Of the
first instance will sit at Jerusalem and
Jaffa with special courts in the other
districts
10 is the plan Of the government 30
have the staff Of the courts consist as
far as possible OF native inhabitants, as
sisted by British officers possessing
legal experience and knowledge OF
Arabic.
The salaries Of these local officials
have been increased, doing away with
any temptation of bribery the source
Of evil in the Turkish administration.
Local law will be administered unal-
tered except for special military Oper-
ations, when military decrees will OF
necessity take precedence.
The work Of religious courts will not
be interfered with and Moslem relig-
ious courts will be allowed to do their
work IN their own districts
Palestine, which now has a popula-
ton somewhat less than $4,000, can
support by agriculture an additional
population OF 100000 under present con-
dltions and a second addition Of 3O0,-
600, after irrigation dams and other
construction works have been built
other Improvements which Palestine
sOrely needs are better roads and more
Of them. Some few light narrow guage
railways might also be constructed and
better ports provided Haifa Is at
present the only good one. Jaffa, the
next best, might, however, be rendered
more secure.

In the submarine zone after this coun-
try entered the war, they say. In
fact, the Americans are reyolutionlzing
the style Of warfare by rushing the
Germans out OF their trenches and go

Indian warfare methods. The members
of Congress declare the Germans seem
dazed BY this new tactics, and the
prisoners commenting on it, say the
Americans are too rough Hereto
fore, the members declared the trench
and English would spend part OF their
time building trenches or using the
old German trenches when they wouid
make gains, but the Americans when
they drive the Germans from the
trenches. keep on going after the Hun
and do not stop to dig trenches.
The Americans also introduced the
new method Of charging machine gun
nests and killing the machine gunners
with the bayonets. The British and
French method was to destroy these
nests with shell fire. All the members
Of Congress declare the American sol
diers now on French soil are eager TO
get into the thick Of the lighting ana
Representative Young said he was told
by one lieutenant that he had to stand
In front OF his company to prevent its

Ing a battle between the vessel and
German submarine off the coast OF
New England. on Tuesday night last,
Is in the Pennsylvania Hospital. He
was brought 10 the hospital when the
snip anchored at an Atlantic port.
He said that the shelling Of the ship
by the U-boat began about o'clock
In the evening and continued several
hours At the start he was on the
upper deck. The officers and crew are
proud at having got away from the
U-boat.
"Our ship. with its rich cargo, was
saved, and we are certain that the Ger
man submarine we fought more than
three hours off the New England coast
was badly damaged" one OF them said.
The vessel made gallant fight
against the submarine, and after bat
tie of about three hours was able to
get away. Evidence Of the battle was
shown by the ship. Its decks had been
swept by the shell fire and amidships
and just above the water line was a
hole. made by one Of the shells from
the submarine. The shell penetrated
the steel plates and exploded.
Five sailors were injured by the ex-
plOsion. Albergo received severe
wounds in the right thigh. He viii re-
cover.
One Of the frelghters officers in de-
scriblng the approach Of the German
submarine said:
1T was a monster craft for a sub
marine. and before we could get our
guns into action the German COM
mander opened fire. His crew operated
two guns OF heavy calibre, one for
ward and one aft. our gunners re-
turned the flre. and in less than three
minutes a genuine sea battle was In
progress.
I'VE tried TO escape, but It took more
than three hours TO shake Off the

More than 200 shots were fired. and our
gunfre was so accurate that he must
have been damaged. When the German
ceased firing. we were confident that
one of our shells had inflicted a death
wound. but we did not stop to investi-
gate, for It does not pay to take chances
with Fritz.
During the engagement flying splin-
ters. bits Of iron and shell fragments
were scattered over the ship and many
OF our crew sustained injuries
The submersible that attacked the
frelghters is believed to be the one that
has been operating on the Grand

Dairyman to Meet Friday Night.

All dairyman and other interested par
ties who are shipping milk to Baltimore
are requested TO attend meeting to be
held in the Thurmont High School Friday
evening, Nov. 18th, at 7 30 o'clock. The
object of-the meeting is to acquaint ship
pers with the activities of the State
Dairymens Association and affect
branch organization in the northern part
of the county. Representatives of the
Extension Service of the Maryland State
College will address the meeting.
1t will be recalled that the Dairymen's
Association has changed its method of
procedure and has now become a prime
factor in controlling the price of milk in
Baltimore City. During the month of
October when the milk distributors of
Baltimore refused to stand by their con-
tract price for milk the Directors of the
State Dairynen's Association presented
signed contracts of milk shippers, con
trolling approximately Is per cent of
the milk supply of Baltimore to the dis
tributers and the result was to the effect
that the distributors paid the contract
price agreed upon.
1t is our aim to have every milk ship
per become member of this Association
and it is to the interest of every dairy
man to be represented in this organiza-
ton that insures him just price for his
time, effort and expense in maintaining
"A dairy. If you are not member you
will have to take what the distributor
chooses to pay you.
Come to the meeting and the matter
will be explained in detail.

SAVING WITHOUT SIGN POSTS
TEST FOR HOUSEWIVES WITS.

The United States has booked an
order to supply 100000 tons of meat
and fats during the current year to be
charged to the account Of freedom.
1t is large ordsr-R larger order
than the undertaking to send ten mil
lion tons OF breadstuffs.
In one way 1t comes to about the
same thing as doubling the order for
bread and sending half Of 1t in the
form OF meat-for meats and fats are
concentrated from feed. But that is
not the biggest feature Of 1t. 1t II

entire crop, except enough for seed
and respectable rsserve-there Will
be- another harvest next year. But
meat Ia different. All this meat must
be sent-four times a. much rs we
ever used to export and million tons
more than last ysar-and yet we ought
to have at the end Of the year focks
and herds as large as now-larger II
we work it right,
The United States must so manage
that It's own people will be kept In
health aud strength; the victories OF
freedom also mean there are more
friendly people to be nurtured and
fostered. This large order the United
States is to fill and yet be able to sup.
ply twice as many people another year
and still keep its herds intact,
There will be no reQuisitionng, no
swooping down on communities and
driving all the cattle to the pen. The
