Sunday Was Shortest Day

Sunday last was the shortest day
of the year, and upon which official
winter begun. Daylight was about
three hours shorter than the longest
day of the year, June %, when the of
fetal summer begins. Thus far Oak
land and Garrett county has had no
winter weather; in fact there have
been very few cold days.
The village wit explained the rea-
son of shorter days in the winter
months were because the nights were
so much longer. The philosopher rose
up and gave his version, declaring
that heat contracted and cold expand
ed. Take your choice.

BE SENSIBLE.

Rightly or wrongly, England insists
that her mastery of the sea shall re-
main. Our own Congress is urged by
the administration to hasten the COM
ing of Americas greater navy. And
in the face of these tremendous ex-
penditures it is now proposed to tow
the German fleet ont to mid-ocean
and carpet the floor of the sea with
their debris. 1t is urged tina a a =

fleet among the victorious Allies

GIVE 1T TO THE RED CROSS.

If the American delegates to the
Peace Conference have decided to ad-
vocate the sinking of the surrendered
German warships they must have
reasons which seem to them good and
sufficient; but in the absence it does
seem to the layman that a plan might
be devised for the raising of con-
siderable sum of mony for some neu-
trail, charitable purpose by merely
junking them. If the Red Cross be not
deemed an organization of sufficient
ly neutral and international character
to be made the beneficiary, some other
way of disposing of the money might
be found. Why such deliberate and
uncalled for waste?

A Tribute to The Allies.

On the night before Christmas and on
Christmas day, seventy-five thousand
patriotic orators made their final ap-
pearances, their last speeches, as
representatives of the United States
Government, as members of the Four
Minute Men of the Committee on Pub
lie Information.
The topics of those final talks was
worthy of their work in the past; it
was no dithvramb of self-applause. no
.paean of praise to the part America has
played in the Great Crusade, but an
earnest and sincere tribute to these who
bore the heat and burden of the day,
who fought the long fight and were not
discouraged even when disaster seemed
most certain; it was A Tribute to The
Allies.
Millions may have been brought by
these addresses to a keener appreci-
alton of all we owe-and the world
owes-to the glorious assembly of free
peoples who held the Hun at the high
tide of his fortunes, who blocked the
breach with their bodies and opposed
soft flesh and brittle bone to shining
steel and harder hearts.
The danger of dissentions, which
could help only the watchful enemy and
harm only the common cause, may have
been somewhat decreased by the eff
forts of these able special pleaders for
sound sense and justice; and indeed now
there is special need for such work, be-
cause the bond of mutual peril is broken
between the nations AMI the inevitable
tendency is to draw apart again, each
to its national interests and concerns.
1t was timely warning, to set the
people on their guard against the re-
newal of lying whispers calculated to
drive wedges between those who have
fought side by side-the British and the
French, Belgians, Italians, Serbians,
Roumanians and all who made up that
white company. of heroes which has

CLUB HOUSE BURNED.
Delawder Lodge Near McHenry, Con-
snmed Tuesday Morning.

On Tuesday morning at about four
o'clock the old G. W. Delawder lodge,
located on branch of Deep Creek, a
short distance from McHenry was en-
tirely consumed by fire having its or
igin in defective flue, according to
those who witnessed the destruction
of the building, which was a one story
frame structure built many years ago
by the late G. w. Delawder.
In its balmy days many men of ma
tional and international fame found
haven from the affairs of state I'M
der it's hospitable roof, for as a host
few equalled and none excelled Mr.
Delawder. 1t was near this spot
that he entertained the late President
and Mrs. Cleveland when they were
on their honeymoon, which was spent
at the Deer Park Hotel.
In the house which burned Tuesday
morning, Mr.. Delawder had as his
guests for a few days Mrs Theodore
Roosevelt and her son Theodore at
the time Col Roosevelt was Presi-
dent and Mrs. Roosevelt was the first
lady of the land.
The house has been recently occu-
pied by laborers, and at the time of
the fire man named Cooper, with
his wife and four children, were liv-
ing in the house. They lost practi-
cally all their belongings.

1t was graceful act to center the
attention of our people upon the ser
vices and sacrifices which each of the
Allies has made in the name of Liberty,
and to keep warm the sentiment of Elm

This, then. was the last service of
the Four Minute Men of America in the
inner lines of the War of 1918.
With this, their activities are over,
and. as they retire again to private

case for court

suit stated to the court 1t was an
unusual procedure to follow in a So
called criminal case, but declared the
testimony in the suits served as an
indication that there was no violation
of law, but if anything a breach OF
contract.
The court at first intimated the
application would not be considered
at the time. but finally took the pc

FIREMEN SENT
FALSE ALARMS
Seven Members of Carlisle
Company Implicated in Re-
cent Unnecessary Calls

Carlisle, Pa, Feb. 2S.-Warrants
were expected to be served late this
afternoon on three other members
of the Friendship Fire Company,
charged with being implicated with
others in the series of false alarms
which has nearly disrupted the local
department.
At a hearing held here yesterday
afternoon, three of the men who
previously confessed were held for
court under heavy bail. In their
testimony they involved several
others as being connected with the
plan. In all seven men were involved,
the sending being carefully planned
and the crowd agreeing to pay the
expenses of any man who was caught
the opinion being that he would es-
cape with a fine.
The hearing attracted much atten-
ton and a number of spectators. The
borough council is expected to move
for a change in the personnel of the
company at an early date.
