CAMPS NOT ENTIRELY
UNDER u. S. CONTROL

Lands leased by the federal gov
ernment for cantonment sites. Camp
Meade, Md. for instance. are not un-
der the exclusive jurisdiction of the
United States. within the provisions
of the Constitution or the state stat
utes ceding jurisdiction to the gov
ernment of land purchased for mill
tary purposes.
This is the opinion of the judge ad-
vocate general of the Army, who
holds that the state retains it's juris-
diction within the cantonment site,
subject to the restriction that it can
not hamper the control or use of such
site by the federal government
Thus" says he. "a murder com
mitted within the cantonment site
would be triable in the state courts
although IL committed by a person
subject to military Jurisdiction, being
then triable also by a general court
martial. the usual rule applicable to
concurrent jurisdiction would apply

Blame Should Rest on Guilty.

NO individual. official or newspaper
should state or publish any report OF
rent or other proflteering unless both
sides to the transaction have been heard
on the subject. Any other method of
criticism is unfair and unpatriotic and
should not be tolerated by the tenants
and landlords of the National Capital.
Let every case be thoroughly investi-
gated, SO the public may know the whole
truth.
The blame should rest on the guilty.
so the public will not characterize all
owners as profiteers. Such stigma
should not rest on the fair name of
Washington.
1T is up to the civic organizations.

as our local officials, to see that justice

The worlds series is over and once
more tn goston Americans have cap
tured the championship Of the base
bail world. All six OF the games
have been very close and well played
by both teams The quality of base
ball displayed during these games has
deserved liberal patronage and lively
interest; but the war seems to be the
same on which the interest of the
American public is most largely cen
tered these days Had these been
normal times, with no war to occupy
the center Of the world area, thous-
ands of would-be spectators would
have been turned away from the base
ball parks during the past week for
lack Of standing room This series

~ small scores in every game and the
general good playing throughout.

be better satisfied 10 see these husky

identified with work that will count
towards winning the war.
