w. S. S. CAMPAIGN
Will be Conducted During the
Month of May and Part of June

Mr.. R. E. Sliger, Director for War
Savings Societies for Garrett county,
was in consultation with the State
Director and the County Directors on
Thursday of last week in Baltimore,
where a luncheon was given by Robert
Grain.
1t was the unanimous opinion that it
would be necessary to have the different
couniest canvassed for subscriptions to
War Stamps in large amounts and a
number of meetings will be held in all
the centers of this county where the
best speakers obtaihable Will advocate
the purchase of the War Stamps.
The stamp is so good that the Govern
ment will net allow one person to own
more than 100000 worth, and they
can be cashed at any time on ten days
notice, which makes this really a ten
day note of the Government, paying in
terest at the rate of per cent. COM
pounded quarterly; if left to maturity,
January 1st 1923.
Garrett county has more than raised
her allotment on everything needed to
win this great war, and we feel sure
that she will not fall behind in her al
lotment of the War Savings.
Another great advantage of the War
Savings Stamps is that the interest is
practicallw paid in advance, or the note
is discontinued.
If every one would use his coupon
from his Liberty Bond to buy War Saw
ings Stamps, he would be making his
money work twice for him, and do
double duty for his country.
A strong organization is getting to-
gether to make this drive for additional
funds to take care of our soldiers.

NEW REGULATIONS
RELATING TO DRAFT
Provision Made for Young Men
Who Have Attained Ace

Anticipating the passage of the bill
now pending with reference t. the new
draft, the War Department has issued
additional regulations governing the
registration of those amenable to ser
vice. These have to do principally with
the duties of the registers. the assis-
lance they are to receive on the day set
for the registration and define the
authority of the Governor and adjutant
general over the officials.
The section that interests the general
public is that relating to the draft age.
1t provides for the registration of all
men who have reached the age of 81
years since the registration day of Juue
1917.
An alien who entered the United
States for the first time after the date
set for the registration by the President
is not subject to registration unless he
signifies his intention to become a
citizen of the United States. Citizens
of the United States. or persons who
have declared their intentions of be-
coming citizens, who do not register on
account of absence from territorial
limits of the country, are required to
register within five days after their re-
turn.
Failure to register is punishable bv
impri: onmeut of not more than one
year and the offender must be regis
tered.
The same safeguards are.provided the
draft officials as in the previous acts.
and the police officials as in the previ-
GUS acts, and the police officials as well
as other citizens are expected tc CO.
operate.
AS it is estimated there will not be
over 1,500 registrants within the juris-
diction of the board having the largest
number of registrants, and that the
average will be far below this number.
the appointment of registrars, other
than members and salaried attaches of
boards. shall be limited to the actual
necessities, and persons who will serve
gratuitously shall be selected wherever
practicable. All registrars shall be
competent clerks. whose handwriting is
legible acd neat, and, if possible, per-
sons acting in said capacity on June
5, 1917.

FENCE LAW REPEALED.
Garrett County Relieved of Elk.
pensive Fencing.

Among the progressive laws passed
by the Garrett county Delegation in
the last Legislature was that which re-
pealed Sections SO to 102 inclusive, of
Article IL of the Public Local Laws of
MARYLAND, entitled Garrett County, "
SUBJ title Fence.
For many years Garrett has been the
only county in the State which allowed
the running of cattle and sheep at
large, requiring the farmers to maintain
fences. not for the purpose of enclos-
ing their own stock, but for keeping
out all stock that might run at large.
In these days of high labor, cost and
expensive fencing material. it had be-
come burden. Furthermore, an i'm
mense amount of damage has been
caused by this wandering stock, a
damage which could not be recovered.
With the repeal of these laws, which
becomes effective June 1st, the farmers
are no longer required to fence out
other peoples stock. but only to fence
in their own, and the owners who al
low their stock to run at large and do
damage are accountable for such dam
ages under the general law of trespass.

GEORGE CREEL has no defender in
Frank E. Williams of the Elkton Wing,
who has given two sons to the fighting
forces of Uncle Sam. The latest
"Creelism" is thus scored in the Wing
1t is evident that George Creel is en-
tirely lacking in comprehension of the
simplest facts in current events and
past history. His expression of pride
over our unpreparedness at the out
break of the war is small offense
compared with his declaration on April
II. 1918, that 1.-THE time and opportunity
have come for nation to pay a great
debt of gratitude for service rendered
in great national need. and America is
paving France the debt she long has
owed. - The fact is that we are paying
no debt to France. We are not fighting
the battles of France-we are fighting
our own. ''The time and opportunity"
of which Mr.. Creel speaks, for US to
pay our debts to France, did not come
in 1918; they came in 1914. and we pass
ed up the opportunity. Eyer since the
sinking of the Lusitania, in 1915, France
and Great Britain have been fighting
our battles, and they are fighting our
battles today more than we are fighting
their or even our own.
Mr.. Creel says that the honors are
even and the honors are great" We
hope the time may come when the
honors will be even, but that time is
still, we fear, in the distant future, for
the daily sacrifices France is making
upon the altar of liberty are greater
than our own.

TOWNS GET HONOR FLAGS
Chairman Jones Sent Emblems to
Towns Entitled to Them.

Last Friday morning County Chair
man Jones of the Third Liberty Loan
campaign received from the National
headquarters sixteen honor flags for as
many towns and communities in Gar
rett county as were entitled to them by
reason of the tact that those towns and
communities had oversubscribed their
quota of the loan, and on Friday night
mailed the same to the points designat-
ed by the director Of the loan as follows:
Kitzmiller. Deer Park. Swanton,
Pleasant Valley, Bloomington, Red
House, Crellin, Bittinger, Hutton, Ac-
cident, Friendsville, Grantsville, Finzel,

THE REAL MEANING OF The RED
CROSS.

The campaign to raise 100000, 600
for the Red Cross will begin May 90.
Garrett county's quota will be $1,000.
Only one week will be devoted to the
raising of this amount, and this means
that great deal of real work must be
done, both in the few days which re-
main for preparation and in the week
of the drive itself.
We have elected to support the Red
Cross through voluntary contributions.
The cause is not one which should re-
quire any argument. The first fund
which we raised for the work of the
Red Cross has been used up in the pro-
cess Of organization and the getting
underway of the work which has ell
ready been organized. The funds of
the second campaign will be used for
the maintenance of that work.
So long as we support the Red Cross
through voluntary contributions, it re-
mains non-combatant. The S10O, 900, DOC
which it requires might be appropriated
by Congress; but then the Red Cross
would become part of the organized
military forces of the country, subject
in all respects to the rules governing
such forces. 1t is to avoid this, to keeI
it on strictly military basis, that
support of it is made voluntary.
Great as are the demands which the
warts making on our wealth, there are
few people who-cannot set aside 6
modest sum for the Red Cross. Lei
there be no hesitation, no holding back
on the part of the people. The Rec
Cross needs the money; it must have it
That is the most potent argument
which 1t could advance.

LONDON, Oct. 31-A belt of the Rhine Valley, roughly 250 miles long, from Cologne in the North to the Grand Duchy of Baden in the South, region crowded with war industries and intersected by a railway system of vital startegic importance to the German army in France, is now a definite part of the war zone. This is one of the most striking and sig nificant developments of the Allied campaign, and how big are it's pos abilities may be gauged by the vasI damage, both physical and moral, already inflicted upon the enemy. It is the achievement of the Royal Air force.
 Over that region in the last three months the airmen, operating day and night, have made 249 calls, drop ping POT tons of bombs upon enemy railway centers, munition works, poison gas factories, electrical and engineering plants, blast furnaces, aerodomes. and other important mill tary Objectives.
 The effects of these raids have been of incalculable benefit to the Allies. One of the first was the compulsory withdrawal of the Ger mans of large number of their air planes from the fighting front for the defense of the Rhine.
 pt1t o Ooin hoc hnCn tho profound and widespread depression caused to the German people, the home front" to use the phrase of Ludendorff Captured letters from places as widely separated as Mann helm and Cologne testify to the ter TOT and panic inspired by the raids among the civil population. Well-to- da families, in increasing numbers, are seeking the temporary security of more distant inland towns. There are indications that the flight of the wealthy is causing intense resent ment among the working population who, being for the most part engag ed in war industries, are exposed to almost nightly danger from the raid CTS.
 But the terror of the German popu- lace is not confined to the territory actually added to the war zone. It exists throughout the country, par ticularly in far-distant Berlin where preparations already have been made to defend the city against raids.
