ELECTRIC CAR AND
AUTOMOBILE COLLIDE.

Mrs. James w. Sellers and family of
Glen Burnie, who were returning from
a drive in their motor car yesterday,
made a narrow escape from death.
Just as the motor car was crossing
the tracks of the Short Line which
passes through Glen Burnie an cleo
trio car struck the automobile at the
front and swerved the motor vehicle
TO the side, otherwise the occupants
would have been killed, Mrs. Solley
and her family were given a good
shaking up and suffered from shock,
but were otherwise not seriously in
jured Had the electric car not have
been travelling at a slow rate of speed
at the time of collision, the result
would have been more serious.

Vast Territory for White

Siberia is n Canada multiplied by

land, timber and minerals comparable
only with those of the United States.
And II constitutes the last gap Of fer
tile soil in the northern temperate zone

IL 1t an impossible dream to imagine
hardy Colonsts from North America,
from northern Europe flown steadily
into the siberian wilderness to people
and make fruitful the endless stretches
of fertile land, to lay bare the mineral
wealth, to erect sawmills IN the forests,
to harness the rapids of the rivers. to
build railroads, towns, and cities, to
minSle and interhreed with the scant
numbers of the Slav pioneers, even
tually To rear in democratic grandeur
the United States of North Asia?
For many years tn come Russia's in
ternal affairs will keep her too busy tn
undertake the systematic colonization
of Siberia. European Russia is not
over crowded. With modern agriculture
al and industrial methods il could
support thrice its present population
in comfort. But northern Europe needs
imperatively an outlet for its surplus
population. Northern Europe is crying
for empty reaches Of fertile land that
can he had for the taking and free land
will certainly attract Americans of the
pioneer type.
1t is more than Il dream. For a thou
sand years the swarming. starving mil
lions of China have had the great prize
within reach and have spurned il, Nor
have the Japanese ever displayed the
pioneering spirit. The long, cold win
ters of the northern temperate zone do
not appeal to them, The tanning OF
land ice bound six months in the year
is peculiarly the white mans burden.
Siberia beckons to them. Win they
undertake the task?
Perhaps the vision OF a free. self
governing Siberia. Of Il new demo-
cratic melting pot in the eastern

CHURCHES GET TOGETHER.

The shortage Of coal and the
need of conserving 1t, have
brought about unity Of services
in various churches in eastern
communities. Indeed, in some OF
these places there would other
wise be no religious services be-
cause there would not be enough
coal to go around. The choirs
have united and the ministers
take turns preaching.
1t is obvious that the sermons
to all of the congregations must
be removed from anything like
creed or doctrine. There should
be no difficulty though, because
religion is broad enough TO in
|cludc all who are looking for its
benefits. The war also, because
Of the sacrifices necessary have
made il difficult to pay running
Expenses. Some congregations
have been depleted by the draft
land war work. Out Of this COM
|bination of churches, wholly I'M
Expected, may come a growth OF
all that is worth while i'll religion
A great many intelligent people
do not go to church because they
do not like to hear doctrinal ser
mons. They believe that the fine
spun creeds are not Of sufficient
importance for either study or
discussion. Yet these very pco-
lplc will enjoy and find benefit
from sermons that are preached
from such broad texts as the Col
den Rule. The spirituality Of re-
|ligion can be impressed on many
in that way.
The growth of the movement
THAT we have indicated will be
watched with interest and, if it
succeeds, we snay soon see de-
cided changes in church life to be
continued after the war.

When the People Speak

President Wilson can sharply re-
prove Senator Chamberlain for saying
that the war service of the administra
ton has fallen down." but he cannot
rcprove the people of the United States
who are very much of Senator Cham
berlains opinion, says the New YORK
Times. The people are saying what
Senator Chamberlain said. not in his
words, but in words OF like import. No
president can tell the people that they
have been guilty of IAN astonishing
and absolutely upjustifiabie distortion
Of the truth" Does the president know
what the people are thinking and say
ing? II is always a matter of doubt
whether president OF the United
States can really know what is in the
minds OF the people. so few Of those
about him are willing To tell him the
whole truth, If 1t be unplea SAINT. and
SO rarely do his unofficial visitors pm,
aside commonplace courtesies and ven-
,ure to acauaint him with unfavorable
opinion. Ii MIR. Wilson knows. if he
is permitted To know. what the people
are saying. he will understand why his
rebuke to Senator Chamberlain has
been received with faint public ap-
prevail.
We do not believe the president will
impute to the Times any nnfriendls
or partisan motive. certainly not the
motive of opposition TO the admins
tration's whole policy" il we point out
to him that his attitude of resentment
toward Senator Chamberlain's criti-
cisms and toward the Investigations
which have been In progress since the
congress assembled. investigations
