Everyone seemed to be i'm high

ready to leave home and native land
to fight the battles of democracy
against the foreign tyrant forgot the
cares and toll of drilling and training

STATE GUARD BACK
IN BALTIMORE TODAY
Commander Says Boys Have
Shown Real Mettle And Fine
Spirits
COL. RIGGS IS PLEASED

Eight hundred men of the Maryland
State Guard completed their military
training at Camp Waters, Timonium,
yesterday afternoon, and hiked back
to Baltimore today.
The order to break camp early this
morning was given last evening by
Colonel Riggs and the regiment about
expected to reach Baltimore about
noon, but on account of the extreme
hot weather, the men were permit
ted to make the hike by easy stages,
and will not arrive in Baltimore until
about o'clock.
The boys were tired last night as
a result of one of the most strenuous
days they have put in at Camp Waters,
and when they retired last night in
scores of the tents could be heard the
musical strains of Back, Back to Bal
timore. Yesterdays work consisted
of review work by battalions. The re-
view was in the nature of stock-tak-
ing of the eight days encampment, the
commanders giving particular atten-
tion to the deficiencies noted, with
view of having them corrected, there
by greatly increasing the military
prestige of the regiment. There was
goodly number of visitors present last
evening to witness the final regi-
mental parade, which marked the last
bit of work the men will have to do
until the march began this morning.
The dress parade last evening, it was
stated, showed a remarkable improve
ment over the former drills and gave
every evidence of the efficient training
to which the men have been subject
ed since last pitching their tents on
old Timonium Fair Grounds.
The officers of the regiment are
loud in their praise of the men, not
only because of the splendid show
ing which they have made, but on ac-
count of the determined fashion in
which the men have stuck to their
work and from bunch of rockies and
unframed men has been made possi-
BILE one of the most efficient State
guards that ever entered the Fifth
Regiment Armory Colonel Riggs, too,
spoke in the highest terms of the loyal
spirit manifested by the men and of
their willingness and desire to be
made fit for service anywhere duty
may call them.
Most of the men appear to be in fa
vor of the unit being federalized and
are willing to serve in any capacity
whatsoever just so they can help Uncle
Sam win the war. Colonel Riggs has
asked the officers to make a canvass
of the various companies and to as
certain as far as possible how the men
feel on the question. The matter has
been broached by the Federal authori-
ties but nothing definite has been the
result. 1t is regarded as likely that
something will be heard after Colonel
Riggs has received the report from
the officers of the regiment which in
all probability will be some time this
week. The possibility of another State
guard having to be recruited was also
mentioned yesterday by Colonel Riggs.
He explained that if the present State
guard should be federalized and or
dered out of the State, it would mean
that the State would once more be left
unprotected, and the only thing to do
would be to organize another regiment.

SHOT
AT CAMP WATERS
Only Blank Cartridge, But Soldier
VIII Be Permanently
Disfigured

While "skylarking" yesterday after
noon at Camp Waters, Timonium,
Private Harry Robinson, of the Sec
ond Regiment, Maryland State Guard,
was shot in the face with blank car
fridge. The rife over which Robin
son and several other men were
tugging was discharged directly in
Robinson's face. burning his face and
chest severely. Medical officers of the
regiment rendered first aid, and he
was then rushed to Mercy Hospital,
Baltimore.
Physicians at the hospital after
careful bathing made an atempt to
pick out the powder Little success
attended their efforts, however, as
they say that the powder is charred
into the tissue. and that Private Rob-
inson will be SCARED for life. Per-
manent Disagreement of the upper lip
is also expected to result
After removing such of the powder
PARTICLES as they were able, Robinson
was sent back TO camp. Upon his ar
rival there, the camp physicians im-
mediately sent him back to Mercy
Hospital with the request that he be
admitted to a ward there. This was
refused by the hospital staff, who
maintained that they had no room for
him, although this probably could
have been provided had his conditioa
warranted it, AS he was able to walk
and was in perfect physical condition
with the exception of the powder
burns. they decided that there was no
reason why he should remain at the
hospital. and for the second time he
was sent back to the camp.

committee of the socialist party de-
clared that two problems should nov
engage the energy and ability of the

First an immediate and democratic
peace with full representation of the
working class at the peace conference.
Second, the reconstruction which
must Immediately follow upon the
close OF hostilities."
1T is of special concern to us that
our own country which purports to be
fighting for democracy should itself
become democratic. At present it is
one of the least democratic OF all
countries" said the proclamation.

GREEDY MUST Be
MADE TO OBSERVE
WAR FOOD RULES
Ii( over Wir , to Watt|es That
Poor Must Be Protected in
Quality and Price Of
Foods.

By control of the distribution and
uses of foodstuffs, the task of feed
ing our associates in the war can be
placed where it belongs-on the lux
urious and greedy and not upon the
poor.
The significant statement was
made in a communication yesterday
from Herbert Hoover, United States
food administrator to Gurdon W.
Wattles, federal food administrator
for Nebraska. ..4.
And because of. the unpatriotic aes
sion of the minority, Who not only
prejudice the efforts of the patriotic,
but discourage and undermine their
good work, legislation should be en-
acted in congress making observance
of food regulations, including the
LESS" days program, imperative, says
Hoover.
This can be accomplished, he
points out, by control of the distri-
button of foodstuffs SO that all classes
and localities fare alike ad that un-
necessary consumption can be pre-
vented; by control of the use of food
stuffs by food manufacturers with a
view of limiting the less essential
manufacturers; and the control of the
commodities necessary for the pro-
duction and preservation Of food
stuffs in order to prevent great loss
of military sacrifices.
voluntary So Far.
"We have carried on an extensive
campaign for voluntary conserva-
ton" says Mr.. Hoover, "and the eff
fort has brought beneficial results in
many directions through the fine
sense of service and self denial Of our
people. The great majority of trades
cooperate in the most patriotic man
ner, but the minority, who will not
follow not only prejudice the pa
triotic but discourage and undermine
their efforts. The demands, as they
have developed, are greater, i be-
lieve, than can be borne on a purely
voluntary effort.
1T appears to me we should at
tack the non-essential uses of food
stuffs and also the points of unneces-
sary consumption of foodstufs. By
these means we can place the burden
where it belongs--on the luxurious
and greedy and not upon the poor.
"And while it is yitally necessary
to regulate the consumption of foods
in public eating placesh some meas
ures must be devised which will cover
a much wider field of consumption.
