Echoes of Americas Struggle for Liberty Seen in County Rec-
 ords in Maryland.

Echoes of the Americans struggle for liberty In 1778 have been found by war department officials in their search of the records of Harfords county, Maryland, in connection with perfecting title to the new army prov ing ground. A de ached document in the clerks files, dated 1776, sets forth the names of fifteen citizens of the region who refused to sign a declara- tion of independence said to have been among the first moves in that direction by the American colonists. The req sons given in refusing to sign present a vivid picture of the perturbed state of mind of the colonists. The docu- ment reads:
 "Benjamin T. Hargrove refuses to sign through religious principles.
 civilian Wilson, son of John, re- fuses to sign through religious prin- ciples.
 "Benjamin Harboard refuses to sign through religious principles.
 Michael Boser don't sign by req son he signed before.
 'AThomas Gilbert don't sign by req son he don't choose.
 'AThomas West don't sign by req son 1t is mystery to him.
 Philip Cummins don't sign by req son he don't understand the matter.
 "John Ward don't sign by reason the congress don't sign and by req son he thinks that if the English gain the day then the congress and the great people will turn the scale and say the commonality of people forced them to stand in opposition to the English.
 "John Clark don't sign by no req son he can give.
 "Ephraim Arnold don't sign for fear 1t would fetch him into . scrape.
 'Isaae Penrose don't sign for req son he don't choose to light for Hb- erty and never will.
 "Benjamin Fleetwood refuses to sign. He says he will 60 In . vessel, will not light by land.
 "samuel Gallion says if he should sign he may fetch on himself that he cannot go through.
 Richard Spencer says he cannot write or read and shall net sign any paper"

KAISER WELL GUARDED
 ON TRIPS TO BELGIUM
Extreme Precautions Taken h Tfaveling-Even Own Troops
 Disarmed.

How closely the German emperor is guarded when he travels through Bel gium is told as follows by a corre- icle, who several times has witnessed the kaiser's arrival.
 Whenever the passage of the impe- rial train Is to take place the fact is not known to the chief railway office until the same day and to his subordi- mates not until a quarter of an hour before the arrival. In the station the lines are all kept free.
 "Al wOrkmen on this occasion, whether Belgian or German, were dis patched outside. and access to the sta- ton was forbidden. This applied to all passengers as well. The military guards Occuping parts of the station and the envirOns were ordered to leave their posts and pile their arms. The only persons allowed on the platform were the station master, his employees appointed to work the signals and the military chief. There was no guard of honor. no manifestation whatever.
 '"This clearing of the station takes place at every station through which the train passes, which 1t does at the maximum regulation speed. At Brus- sells the detraining took place opposite the Place ROgier. which is a military post since the occupation.
 During the presence of the kaiser the officials always display the utmost nervousness, In fear of anything talk ing place, and they always breathe a sigh of relief when their master has gone. The fact that even the military are obliged to retire and pile their arms seems to suggest a distrust of his own army"

HIGH PRICES IN GERMANY
Price List Shows Big increases Since
 Beginning of War.

Beginning of War.
 The Massachusetts wOman's commit tee of the council of national defense is in receipt of price list nDw in force in Germany which contains the, following interesting Quotations:
 Cotton socks for infants were 6: cents per pair, now 72 cents for same grade.
 Machine cotton was i cents per spool, now 2 cents.
 Ladies' wOolen stockings were ca cents. now $S.60 per pair for same quality.
 Cotton voile was Ia cents per yard, now $2.S8 for same quality.
 Ladies' chemises were $1. now $10 for same quality.
 Half-wool dress goods was 8S cents per yard. now $6.76 for identical ma- terial.
 Such prices here would make Amerf- can women think that we have gone back to Civil war prices.

The construction of aerial tanks, or, to use the technical term, armored air planes, that will accompany the in- fantry in the air just as the tanks go forward on the ground, is being con sidered by the French aviation author ities. The Germans have been using airplanes of this type, recognizing the value of this aid to an attack by infan- try.
 These machines, being necessarily of considerable weight, cannot fly very fast and are useless for scouting or fighting in the air with enemy planes. But the effect on the morale of troops of airplanes flying over the heads of the foe, pouring into their ranks vol leys from machine guns, was amply demonstrated in the battles in Elan ders. when British and French observa- tiOn and fighting planes abandoned their legitimate functions and took part in the infantry attacks. Being of the lightest construction and wholly unprotected. they were easy marks for rife and machine gun fire.
 Must Protect Alrplanes.
 To utilize to the utmost the airplane in connection with the infantry the protection of the craft by means of light armor is being considered. This principle may be also applied to other classes of planes. Today French tao tical aviation possesses the best multi place machines.
 The Breguets, the Samsone, the Cau- dron R-H are of the greatest efficiency. But experience has demonstrated that artillery observation machines are nev. CT safe from attacks of the enemy fighting planes, no matter how vigilant are the escadrilles. whose duty it is to defend them. This fact has made 1t evident that 1t Is necessary to build machines that are able to defend them selves.
 The problem of construction is still / far from being solved. It is necessary to have specialized planes for recon naissance, photography and artillery regulation, and there must also be planes for infantry nason and trench attacks.
 Requirements of Service.
 The first class must be able to fly high and fast; the second, that accom-. pany the infantry. must crawl and go slowly. To crawl at a low altitude they must be armored, otherwise they are quickly doomed to destruction.
 Armored planes existed in 1914, and even before the war, but little by little they have disappeared.
 On days of attack the French pilots are forced to fly for hours at less than 300 feet from the enemy trenches. filled with machine guns. For several months the Germans have employed an airship of the Junker type. entirely made of metal, all of whose machinery, motor and guns are protected by . shell-proof armored covering. They are thus able in the very face of enemy infantry to attack, without much dan ger to themselves It Is to meet this emergency that the allies are now con- sidering the building of aerial tanks.
