What we do now we do forever

What we say now shall be written in
letters of fire upon the sky, shall be writ

plains of Germany, shall be signed by
God across the face OF Essen, Cologne
and Berlin!
We speak the heart of hundred
thousand cities!
Why do the newsboys cry i'm the
streets that there is q new Peace Chan

What of it? What is it to us? Who
cares? AS long as there is a Kaiser?
War with the Kaiser is Heaven, four
years OF Heaven compared with
Peace with him.
Who wants to belong to the kind of
human or be locked up in the kind
of ofnation that can make peace with the
Kaiser?
What are two million people eoine
around and taking up national collec-

What do the American people want

Are we spending i'm America four

to get out of the Germans thirty cents
worth of peace-to get out of the Ger

Shall hundred million Americans
stand on the graves of four million dead

for nothing?
We have sent over our own two mill

we snatch victory away from them be-
fore their own eyes, before their faces

Shall we send word to them to come
home and that we are going to send their

they have tried to do all over again?
We ask this week for six billion dol

M. R. H. LECG LEAVES TO
JOIN CANADIAN ARMY
Former Freight Agent of The p. b.
& W. II. r. Co, of This City, Was
In BOer War.

Mr. Roland H. Legg left Sunday
enroute for Canada, where he will
sign up for war service in whatever
branch he is needed, and expects to
60 into training at once. Mr.. Legg
anticipates being in France in three
weeks, and before leaving Cambridge
told some very close friends that he
thought he would be back here by
Christmas, as he expects the war to
be over by that time.
Mr.. Legg was born in New Zea
land, and named by his parents, Ro
land H. Legg, but after their death,
an uncle, who adopted him, added
Major to the names he already bore.
He saw service in the Boer War,
fighting as a British subject.
For eight years he has lived in
America, but he never became a
naturalized citizen, three years of
that time having been spent in Cam
bridge. He was freight agent for the
P. B. & w. Railroad Co., at this
point, and was later transferred to
Seaford, and from there was sent to
Laurel, where he was working at
the time he volunteered.
While in Cambridge. Mr.. Legg
lived liz ed with -Messrs.- ]. G. Evans and
Vernon S. Bradley, at Bachelors
Bungalow" on Oakley street, and
while here he formed the acquain-
lance and won the friendship of a
large number of people prominent in
business and social circles. He was
accompanied as far as Harrington,
Del, on his trip by Mr.. Evans, and
his parting request to his friend was
that Mr.. Evans hang a services nag
in front of his store for him. He
became so attached to Cambridge
that he said that as soon as he was
released from war duty he expected
to return here to spend sometime.
even if his work called him else
where.
Before leaving town the Cam
bridge Branch of the Red Cross pre-
scented him with a splendid outfit,
consisting of a sweater, socks, wrist
lets, ETC., which he greatly appreci-
ated. He received a similar outfit
from the Red Cross of Laurel, Del

ENSIGN COMMISSION FOR
DIR. STEELE'S NEPHEW
He Expects to be Flying in Liberty
Motor Plane Soon.

L. w. Trail, of Easton, received Il
telegram from his son, Oscar Trail,
last Wednesday, stating that he had
been commissioned Ensign in the T..
S. Naval Aviation Signal Corps, at
Pensacola, Fla. Young Trail gave
up a position with the Curtis Aero
plane Co., at Buffalo, N. Y, thinking
he could better serve his country fly
ing in a machine than by helping
build them. While in Buffalo he
went to Toronto, Can, and applied
to and was accepted by the Royal
Flying Corps, but reconsidered this
step.
Then he applied to the Naval Signal
Corps at Washington, d. c. He was
accepted at once and was sent to the
Massachusetts Institute of Technolo-
gy. After eight weeks training there
he passed a successful examination
and was sent to Pensacola, where he
has been for the past four months.
He hopes to be transferred to the
aviation station where he can prac-
tice flying in the large Liberty Motor
planes, which are considered the
fastest and best machines in the
world.

| Thrift Stamps. a number of patriotic
meetings have been arranged to be
held at the Grand Opera House Sun
day afternoons. These meetings will
rival those held in Baltimore and
throughout the large cities of the

improvements Over Other
Models

The United States rifle, model

modified Enfield, has now been
tested in the service Of the Ar
my a sufficient time to warrant
the assertion that it more than
justifies the claims made for it,
according to statement author
lied by the Secretary of War.
The new rifle takes a .30-cali-
Der cartridge, which has the ad-
vantage over the British Enfield
of being rimless. 1t has been
found that unless rim cartridges
are fed through the magazine
uniformly with the rim of the
top cartridge ahead of the rim
of the one Immediately below,
jams are likely to accur.
The model of 1917 has an ov-
er-all length of 46.3 inches; a
total weight including oiler and
thong case and bayonet of ter
pounds and five ounces. The

Each Battle Plane Needs Extra
Equipment and Staff Of
Skilled Men

After three years of warfare
the total number of airplanes
able to take the air at any one
time on either side Of the west
ern front has not been over 3
500. Each plane in the air re-
quires a force Of 46 men, two re-
placement planes on the ground,
and one training plane for every
pilot who eventually reaches the
front, with an extra engine for
each plane.
The life of the plane is not
more than two months, and the
engine must be overhauled af-
ter each 75 hours. Now that
American battle planes are 60
ing overseas the great problem
is to secure the thousands OF
skilled mechanics, enginemen

metal workers needed to keeT
the planes in perfect condition
