THE RENT PROFITEER
New One Orders Out Families With
Men Likely To Be Drafted.

The rent profiteer, like the poor
is always with us, but the newest
rent profteer has only recently been
uncovered by the Committee on Rent
Profiteering of the Maryland Council
of Defense.
According to a member of the COM
mittee this man, whose aim is to make
the most money out of war condi-
tons, has been canvassing among his
tenants to learn how many sons or
husbands who will come within the
next draft. Those whom he finds
have relatives likely to be drafted, he
orders to seek quarters elsewhere.
This is being done, according to
the committeeman, because under the
new law it is virtually impossible to
dispossess the family of a soldier
Just what steps will be taken to meet
this new evil are not known as yet,
but the problem will be discussed at
length by the committee this after
noon.

The Waste of Paper

The head of the paper department of the industries board has issued a warning to the news papers against the extravagant of paper and sent along list of "dons" for the guidance of pub lishers We have fault to find with the warning or the inhbitions. The papers will lose nothing by complying with them The newspapers using too much paper; they are using much from which mo good results to themselves their readers But if they would print all the stuff half of it. that to them from the various war agencies prganza tons, official semi official and private they would consume a great deal more print paper than ihey do now.
 { We know of greater waste of paper a high grade of paper and expensive than that which is made by these various agencies which impeding the postal service and filling the waste paper baskets of the country. Absolutely is made of far the greater part of it. At first editors gave courtesy of gancing at it. but it took too much time to open envelopes. that they catch a view of the return address the envelope and toss the stuff into the waste paper basket. The paper thus thrown away probably equals in volume all that would be saved by general newspaper observance of the "don'ts" sent out by the industries board
 We should like to the newspapers reduced to size sufficient to contain all legitimate news, legt- mate features and legitimate advertising The great Sunday editions, though, could be dispensed with without loss to anybody. to the publishers to readers.

 Phoenix cannot wait fir the lower prices it cannot stand still. There good many things that can be held in abeyance during the war, but the building of houses is not one of them. One of the primary human requirements is shelter; the others food and clothing. These things will always be in demand, whatever the price of them may be- inhabitants is running a losing race. It must go backward; it will find that it has more houses than it really needs The throng will have passed and it will be left with empty residences and, necessarily, empty business houses.

the corps in the minds of the hundreds of new recruits.
 Thinking harder, working harder, than ever before in his career, the for mer gunner's mate and former con- gressman has risen to the rank of first lieutenant, and his days and nights are filled with the duties of the job for which he is best qualified of teaching recruits at one of the great training camps the traditions of the corps and of making every man of them realize thoroughly what it means to be a United States Marine.
 In New York City, at the Marine Corps publicity headquarters, there is a captain of marines, Thomas G. Ster- rett, who edits it's Recruiters Bulletin and does a huge daily stint of the pub licity work which lets the American people know what sort of all around fighters the U. s. Marines really are. He was reporter in Erie, Pa, when a new city editor decided the paper had to have new stuff and assigned him to the task of getting it-among other features being one that should answer the question, Why do men enlist" The Marines had recruiting office in Erie, so the city editor told Sterrett the answer lay there. When Sterrett- put his question to the recruiting sergeant. that person replied, "damfino," with trimmings hopelessness of further Investigation. The world was at peace; probably there wasn't any answer. He so re- ported. Then the city editor made his comments-with trimmings.
 You get that story or you don't come back-understand? | Sterrett returned to the sergeant, who suggested:
 Look here. Bud; you're so all fired curiou sabout it, wh ydont you enlist and find out for yourself?"
 That's the first sensible remark I've heard today Sterrett rejoined. I'll go you
 Last Christmas eve two men halted on Fifth avenue and grinned recogni- tion. One of them said:

 Times have changed since Reporter Sterrett asked the recruiting sergean why men enlist. There are a score O reasons today why men enlist in tn, United States Marine corps and wh, they should enlist. Today there art opportunities for action, adventure ant advancement that will set the blood tinglng in the veins of any ambition. young man. A call at the Marine corp. recruiting station in this city will b. of interest and value to the man wht would at once serve the nation ant himself.
 Age limits for enlistment are IS |, 36 years. It should be remembered that the United States Marine corp has it's own recruiting station, sepa rate and apart from that of any othe branch of the service.

INTRIGUE COSTLY ID RUMAN|AN WAR
 AIMS NOW KNOWN
Republican A. p. Leased Wire]

LONDON, June 30.(Correspondenc of the Associated Press)-How the Ru- manian armies lost an opportunity of annihilating the German and Bulgarian armies in the Dobrudja in 1916 is re- vealed in confidential document which has just reached The Associated Press from an authentic source in Rumanla.
 The document contains an account of a conversation between Field Marshal von Mackensen and the Rumanian mill itary leaders. which occurred shortly after the Rumanian peace treaties were signed
 Von Mackensen declared that the failure of the Rumanians to press their advantage in 1916 changed the whole course of the war. He said that his entire army could easily have been pocketed and compelled to surrender
 Was Due to Politicians
 The Rumanian failure. the memoran- dunn said, was due not to the military leaders, but to the shortsightedness of the politicians at Bucharest. In Sep tember 1916, General Averescu, com mander- -in- chief of the Rumanian army and by far the ablest of all the Ru manian generals, had taken an army of four divisions and had crossed the Danube into the heart of the enemy's country. He had found a clear path into the heart of the German Bulgarian Dobrudja army He had got fifteen miles beyond the Danube when there came a peremptory order to withdraw his forces. It was an absolute com mand from the war cabinet which it appeared. felt there was danger of the German armies on the other side of Rumania-the Carpathian front breaking through.
 Move Puzzles Enemies
 The Germans were much puzzled by this maneuver, and never were able to secure a satisfactory explanation of the withdrawal of their enemy at the very moment when his cause seemed won so von Mackensen sought Aver escu during the peace parleys a feW | weeks ago in Bucharest.
 Why did you withdraw" asked von Mackensen. If you had gone forward you most certainly would have bagged the whole of the Bulgarian and Ger man armies in the Dobrudja."

The increase of the valuation of property in this county for taxation has increased 20 per cent over that of year ago. That is good showing of growth when take into account that it is all growth and not imitation. The increase is the result of swollen valuations sympathetic with prices but of greater accumulation of wealth. of the things whose value is expressed in money. We have no that for the showing of this county would have been still better.
