ALL HISTORY
REPEATS ITSELF
Weather Conditions Today Same As
In Crimean War In 1856. Pro-
I0nged Drought

Legendary lore has ii that All his
tory repeats itself" This is said to be
true of weather conditions as well as
all else. One Of the oldest inhabitants
of the county, Mr.. Richard Davidson,
father of Mr.. George Davidson. of the
Davidson Fanny Dairy, near st. Mar
garets. is relating to his friends and,
incidentally, TO The Capital, remini
SCIENCES of the Crimean War, when
similar condition of affairs existed as
to the weather that is existing now.
Mr.. Davidson, who has passed his
four-score milestone, was, in the days
OF the Crimean War, a boy of eigh-
teen. He says he well remembers
having 10 drive the cattle to water
distances of twenty miles, for all
springs, wells, ponds and small
streams at which it was customary to
draw water for cattle were dried up.
In American in those days there was
a prolonged drought, while the same
promises to be true here this summer.
Lieut.. George Davidson, a grand
son of the old gentleman who has
drawn a comparison as to conditions
between 1856 and 1918, and who is now
in France. writes to his parents that
there has been but one week of warm
weather since he arrived over
There" and there is continuous mist
and rain week in and week out The
weather. he says, is very cool, as it is
here, but there is no rain here, which
is badly needed Yesterdays little rain
that accompanied an electric storm,
was scarcely enough to moisten the
surface of the parched earth.
The unusual rain overseas is said to
be largely due to the continued bonn
bardment
Mr.. Davidson says that during the
Crimean War the drouth in America
lasted from May until nearly October.
The condition of the crops, the war
gardens and home gardens is such at
this time, that it has been suggested
the churches have a day of prayer for
rain, which is so badly needed.

ARE EMPLOYERS IN
THE SLACGER CLASS?
viii business Man Stand In The Way
OF State Guardsmen Going
To Campl

Discussing the reported action OF
employers throughout Maryland IN
opposing their workers attending the
first encampment of the Maryland
State Guard, of which Company Nj. OF
this city is part, the Baltimore News
on Tuesday thus commented edi-
torially:
1T seems scarcely possible that
there are at this time business men
in the State of Maryland who would
stand in the way OF any of our mill
tary plans; and vet Adjutant General
Henry NJ Warheld says that the plans
for the camp of the Second Maryland
Regiment, which is to be held at IT,
monium beginning July 10. are being
seriously impeded by employers who
refuse to allow their men to attend
this encampment.
General Warfield is justified in the
criticism he levels at Stacker employ
ers; but are there really many such
men. 1t is much easier and more
pleasant 10 believe that the business
men in question do not understand
what they ares asked TO do and what
obligations devolve upon them. The
Second Regiment is composed of men.
most of whom are under no obliga-
ton for military service, who have
been willing to devote no inconsid-
cradle portion of their own time to-
ward the formation of an efficient de-
tense unit for the city and State.
Their drills in their armory have done
much toward putting them in shape;
but they cannot take the place of an
outdoor encampment. such as the one
which begins July Is. There was lit
lie excuse for any evasion of duty in
times OF peace; but now, when the
Second Regiment constitutes the only
trained reserve police force of the
State, business men must surely rea-
lie that any move which would tend
to detract from its efficiency shows
deplorable lack of patriotism"

DRAFT PRIVILEGES WITHDRAWN

instructions have been sent by Pro-
vost Marshal General Crowder to all
local draft boards ordering the cessa-
tion of the privilege hitherto granted

learned officially, however, that no ac-
tion has been taken to stop the volun-
tary enlistment in the navy of men
of Glass l. Secretary Baker said today
he had conferred with Major General
Crowder regarding this loss of draft
men to the army, but that no decision
had been reached TO withdraw per-
mission for such enlistments.

to govern federal operation of rail-
roads was passed by the house to-
night by vote of 1897 to 6.

cans voted against the measure when
the final test came. They were Thorn

their owners two years after the war
ends instead of in 10 months as the
senate draft proposes, and the house

Mrs. Lauderback is only one Of
many Maysville people who have

AMERICA TO Join JAPS
Siberian Invasion FavOred-JOint Ac.
ton Wholly Acceptable to All En-
tente Allies Is Expected-Ne-
gOtiatiOns Are On.

Washington, February 2S-Japan's
move to develop the feeling Of the al
lies toward proposal for joint mil
itary operations in Siberia to keep
the vast stores at Vladvostok and al
80 the Trans-Siberian railway from
falling into the hands of the German
, invaders of Russia, was widely dis
cussed today among diplomats and Of
fcials, but all were reluctant to give
opinions for publication.
Opinion in London that the declara-
ton by the japanese Foreign Minis
ter, Mount Motono, in the Japanese
Diet, could only be interpreted as a
declaration that Japan was about to
intervene, was regarded as further
evidence of the negotiations now pro-
ceeding between the co-belligerents to
make the action of an international
character, probably including the pal
ticipation of American forces.
While all officials here are silent
and disposed to minimize discussion
of the subject, it is known that ex-
changes of opinion are going on with
the object Of perfect understanding
between Japan, the United States and
the other co-belligerents, which would
make the plan of joint action wholly
acceptable to all and thoroughly de-
fine its extent and duration.
Russian representatives here OPP
pose action by the Japanese in Siberia,
hut the co-belligerents are thoroughly
alarmed lest the vast quantities
of supplies piled up at Vladivostok,
bought and paid for with American
cash, should fall into the hands of >Se
Germans.

STRONG ENEMY ATTACKS
Is Repulsed BY Americans; More Gas
Used by Huns - Well Placed
American Machine Gun Sends
Stream Of Bullets Into
the Enemy.

With the American Army in France
February ga strong German attack
following heavy barrage fire against
the American trenches in the Chemin-
Des-Dames sector was repulsed with
losses to the attackers. The well
placed American machine guns sent
streams of bullets into the advancing
enemy and as the German barrage fire
lifted the American artillery quickly
laid down curtain of fire, the Ger
man retirings without a single pris-
oner.
There were no American casualties.
Five French soldiers were wounded
during the fighting.
The Americans stayed in their dug
outs until the proper time, when they
jumped to the guns and fought like
veterans.
Yesterday one officer and one pri-
vate were killed and two were wound
ed by enemy shell fire. One American
soldier was "gassed". The Germans
made gas attack also in this sector
firing fifty projectiles of high per
cent gas and twenty high explosives
shells.
One American soldier is dead and
eight are suffering from the effects
of poisonous gas, so far as reported,
but 1T is probable that more casual
ties will develop, as in the Toul sec
tor.
There was an attack Monday but
the number of casualties to the Amer
lean troops in this sector since they
became engaged can not be determin-
ed. All the killed and wounded In
these operations are from the New
England states.
