Maryland Geological Survey.

The Maryland Geological Survey has just
issued an exhaustive report on the Surface
and Underground Waters Of Maryland, in
Guiding Delaware and the District of Co
lumbia. After preliminary chapters out
lining the physiography and geology Of the
region. there is general account of under
ground waters. their movement and head,
the causes producing artesian wells. springs
and the sources of supply and proper loca-
tion for shallow dug wells. This is followed
by description Of the underground waters
Of the Coastal Plain district which includes
the Eastern Shore and Southern Maryland ;
the Central District. which embraces that
part Of the State extending westward from
the Coastal Plain to the Blue Ridge; and
Western Maryland, which comprises the
region from the Blue Ridge westward to
the western boundary Of the State.
The bulk Of the report consists of local
descriptions of the salient features of each
county and detailed accounts of their sur
face and underground water resources. in
as the present artesian development and
future prospects. Considerable space is
devoted to a discussion Of the district
around Baltimore. with special reference
TO the artesian prospects in the rapidly
growing industrial development along both
shores Of the Patapsco southeastward as
far as Sparrows Point
Chapters are devoted to the Water Re-
sources of Delaware and the District Of
Columbia and chapter Is also taken up
for an account of public supplies Of Balti-
more. Washington. Wilmington. and all Of
the Maryland towns that have public water
systems. The final chapter Of the report
discusses the sanitary and chemical char
acter Of underground waters.
This report. like all those issued by the
State Geological Survey, is a great credit
to the State and contains wealth Of in
formation regarding the very vital question
of obtaining pure and adequate water for
bot h public and domestic supplies. II is
virtually handbook of Maryland as well
as textbook on surface and underground
waters that will enable the reader to
understand the principles governing under
ground supplies. Although but little drill
ing has been done in some sections Of the
State. there is scarcely locality where
the interested seeker after an underground
supply cannot learn in advance the APP
proximate depth at which an adequate
supply will be struck and the probable
character Of the water. Residents Of the
State can obtain copies by applying to
Edward Bennett Mathews. the State Geolo-
gist. and enclosing 10 cents to defray the
postage.

A Crisis In The War.

II Is quite within the range of possibili-
ties that the offensive so brilliantly and un-
expectedly sprung upon the unsuspectine
Germans between the Aisne and the Marne
by French and American troops may prove
the turning point in the great war. The
bold stroke OF General FOch, which has
proved 80 wonderfully successful, may in
dicate that. with increasing numbers. due
to the rapid arrival OF the armies from the
United States. the initiative has definitely
passed from the Teutons to the allies. and
that hereafter the latter will do the attack
ing. The situation is strikingly like that
which existed two years ago, when Field
Marshal Haig inaugurated his campaign on
the Somme. Previous to that the Germans
had been pounding Verdun numerically for
over four months. The French defense was
on the point Of collapse when the British as
sualts caused diversion Of the German
forces. Thereafter the initiative remained
with the allies until Russian stupidity or
treachery brought about a complete change
Of plan Numerical superiority then re-
NAMED with the Germans until now, 1t is
quite possible the rapidly increasing
strength Of the American forces has re-
stored the old condition OF affairs and put
the Kaiser again on the defensive.
To Americans II must be source Of
supreme satisfaction that their troops are
making such a magnificent showing and
playing 50 important a part In pushing
back the Germans. No one acquainted with
the calibre OF our soldiers has ever doubted
that they would make good when the su-
preme test came. Now 1t has come. and
the boys in khaki are making the best
possible reply to German sneers and gibes
They are handling the Huns with all the
dash and skill Of veterans and showing
themselves worthy fellow fighters OF the
gallant French.
II may be expected that the immediate
objective Of this splendid rush. the relief
Of Rheims from German pressure. will be
attained in day or two Possibly II has
already been accomplished. II this can
be followed up the Huns may be pushed
back to the Aisne. Beyond that endless
possibilities open up for speculation SUI
ficient for the day to know that all goes
well. and that the Kaiser has met ire
mendous reverse. largely through Americas
aid. The future looks brighter than It has
] for many day.

County Tax Rates Cut.

Secretary Wallace. of the State Tax Com
mission, last Saturday gave out state
ment showing the tax rate in the different
counties Of the State before and after the
general re-assessment of property which
was ordered made by the commission
the counties remarkable decreases have
been made possible. Notwithstanding the
increase in expenses due to the unusual
conditions of the present.
Montgomery county, for instance, has
decreased its tax rate from practically
$l,l5 on the 500 in 1917 to 80 cents in
1918. Baltimore county decreased its rate
from $l,06 to 80 cents. The full list is as
fnllnua.

Il shall avail myself of an early oppor-
tunity to consult with those who have
heretofore had the responsibility of direct
ing the affairs Of the various wire systems
taken over. and doubt not will be greatly
benefited by suggestions they may be kind
enough to offer me. The operation or con-
troll of what are commonly called farmers
telephone lines will be interfered with only
for the purpose Of facilitating their connec-
tons with the LONGER lines. There will be no
change affecting the press wire service.
except to improve it wherever possible. or
course. no general policy has been decided
upon and will not be until most careful
survey Of the whole situation is had and a
grasp of the conditions as they now exist
secured. shall freely avail myself of all
advice and suggestions which those in
position to make same valuable may be
good enough to offer me.
Whenever it is necessary to inaugurate
any changes of policy announcement Of
such will be made through the Postmaster
General"
The Postmaster General, in his state
ment. announced that steps will be taken
to give the newspapers better wire service.
This announcement was made to reassure
American newspapers that Government
control Of the wire lines will not bring on
any censorship or other interference with
press reports. A number Of members of
Congress at the time the telephone-tele-
graph bill was under consideration ex-
pressed the fear that the Government would
attempt to censor press dispatches, and
an effort was made to amend the bill ex-
empting press wires from the legislation.
Mr.. Burleson now makes it clear that
the Wire Administration will try to increase
the facilities for handling press dispatches
instead of hampering the transmission Of
news.
The Wire Administration committee does
not desire to make any radical changes in
the organization Of the private companies
until these steps are thoroughly discussed
with representatives of the owners Of the
lines.
Neither Mr.. Rooms, nor Mr.. Lewis nor
Mr.. Lamar will resign his present Federal
position in order to accept the post under
the National Telephone Telegraph Admin
istration. Under the 0verman act the
President has the power to shift these
three officials from their present jobs to
their new ones. When Government con-
troll Of the wires ends these men will take
up their old places.
