If you can entertain a single
thought which. TO you seems more
sublime. or if you are capable of
contemplating a single enterprise
more important than winning this
world war. YOU are at least not
fully Americanized, and your con-
science, assuming that YOU have
ever possessed such perishable
property. must be on a vacation.
Americanism, pure and unde-
filed, spells liberty, equality. jus
tice. with democracy at rock bot
tom as the evolving and enforcing
power.
In these fundamental respects
America is as a hundred million
souls with but a single thought"
That thought is to win this war
and win it quick, regardless of the
cost. to which, in the language of
the revolutionary fathers, our
lives. our fortunes. and our sacred

COLD WEATHER, NOT WAR
MAKES OYSTER PRICES SOAR
Biyalves Have Also Become Scarce
During The Severe Weather
are Up To 81 A BusheI

twenty-five years ago a cargo of
oysters sold at $3.50 per bushel.
This sale was heralded as the highest
price ever paid for oysters
Today any kind of old oyster will
bring 81 per bushel in Baltimore.
This high price is not due to war nor
is it due to Fuel Administrator Gar
field The situation has been caused
by the Supreme Ruler. This is what
one of the large oyster packers in
Baltimore City said yesterday.
The loss to Baltimore City by rea-
son Of this prolonged freeze viii run
up into hundreds of thousands Of
dollars. Oysters are scarcer this year
than ever. There are many reasons
attributed for these conditions. A
mortality set in among the oyster
beds in the early fall OF 1916, which
practically depleted many Of the best
crops. There have been many sug-
gestions as to the-cause of this NOR
tally, but not satisfactory solution
has been reached.
Last year the State Conservation
Commission collected tax on 4,00O,-
600 bushels. This year the tax has
deprecated something over 40 per
cent. This tells story in itself. The
failure of oysters means loss Of
rvenue to the packer, til shipper, the
catcher. the vessel ownr, the trans
portation company, and last, but not
least, it affects the Individual house
holder.
1t is feared that this prolonged
freeze has added great destruction to
the oyster beds After a severe freeze
the oysters generally show an emac-
lated condition. This past freeze has
been of such duration and so wide
spread that there is little hope ex-
pressed that the oyster has survived
This not only means a great fnan-
cial loss to the State, but it means
retarding the progress of the con-
structiye administrative machinery
that has been evolved as a result Of
legislative activity. extending over a
period of 100 years and involving the
expenditure of hundreds of millions
Of dollars.

That, in a sentence, is the unierly
ing plot of The Secret Game" in
which Sessue Hayakawa plays Japa-
nese secret service detective. 1.-THE
Secret Game" is an extremely tense
and interesting story. What is upper
most is the ATTEMPT of the secret serv-
ice men to balk the German agents in
their efforts to get news of the sailing
of American transports on the Pacific
In the accomplishment of this there
are employed tell-tale devices and
there are successful hunts for codes
which transform everyday communica-
tions into messages of national catas-
trophe. AT time when war is al
most the sole topic of conversation,
when eyes are turned on Japan. and
when the secret service is kept busy
with the plots and counterplots OF the
traitors to the country, this story is
one of most timely interest. and is full

of the National Army are the volun-

of men to be furnished by selection.

called to the colors to determine
whether or not they were suitable for
service. OF this number G59 failed
TO answer. In the whole country the
men who failed to appear numbered
252.294. In Virginia, with 47.032 call
