WORLDS BIGGEST
SCAB-THE KAISER
American Soldier In France Tells
Floyd Gibbons Why Union Men
Are Fighting Germany

Were striking against the biggest
scab in the world-the Kaiser" was a
view of the war expressed by a young
American soldier to Floyd Gibbons,
the famous war correspondent, when
they met on a train in France few
weeks ago. The story of a working
mans view of the great struggle is
thus told by Mr. Gibbons:
He was little fellow met in the
dining-car-a mighty clean little fell
low, dressed in the American uniform.
He didn't drink the wine which is in
variably served there in lieu of wa
ter; he didn't smoke, he didn't even
drink coffee. He said that his mother
didn't want to have him drink coffee.
This was new type of soldier to me,
and l got very much interested in him.
He and his father had been miners
up in Calumet. They'd just been
through a big strike in the copper
mines.
:" That was quite a struggle you
had up there in Calumet l remarked
in the course of our conversation.
g Yes. he replied, but this is a
whole lot bigger struggle that I'm in
now. We're striking against the big
gest scab in the world-the Kaiser
and we've got to win this strike. He
stands for non-union hours and every
thing that union labor has fought
against and won. feel it my absolute
duty, just as felt it my duty to my
union up in Calumet, to fight this
strike out to victory

CHANCES FOR
RETURNED SOLDIERS
Street Car Companies in Washington,
ID. e., and Cleveland, Ohio, VIII
Employ Men Manned in War

Jobs for returned soldiers as con
ductors and motormen of street cars
are being opened by the Capital Trac-
tion Company of Washington and by
the Cleveland lines. which have an
nounced their intention of giving this
work TO men who have lost an arm
or leg on the fighting line.
Careful experiments were made with.
civilians hampered by the loss of
limbs before the companies decided
upon this policy. The Washington
company used one man. who had suf-
fered the loss of a leg, first as mot
orman and later as conductor, and he
did such effective work in both posi-
tions that the company has not only
retained him in its employ. but will
take on wounded soldiers as rapidly
as possible.
Street-car companies have found diff
ficulty in getting men, owing to the
demand of the draft and war indus
tries.

CURFEW ORDINANCE,
IN ITS PRESENT FORM,
NOT So DESIRABLE
CONTINUED From page one1


stance, in his private office. The mat
ter could be settled there.
In most instances, some advice-a
warning perhaps, would be sufficient
for child and parents, and it is
thought advisable TO amend the or
dinance so that this would be suffi-
cient penalty for first offenders in
any case. For repeated offenses or
where vicious conduct is involved, the
fines could be imposed upon child or
parent, as the responsibility was de-
termined There can be no doubt that
the penalties of the ordinance should
be retained, as there are cases where
nothing else would be adequate.
No piece of proposed municipal leg
islation in years has been so generally
supported as this, and there is little
doubt as to its prompt passage, but
the members of the City Council know
that the responsibility for its results
will be carried by them. and they are
anxious that no mistakes be made.
There are questions about the sub
iect that had not presented themselves
at first to those who considered the
matter. If the ordinance is too dras
tic and in danger of infiicting an I'M
necessary hardship on those it is de-
signed to protect, then it will never be
enforced properly. and its passage
will do no good.
Those who have proposed the ordi-
nance know that a condition exists
which in some of its phases is bad
beyond expression. They feel that
the passage of the ordinance will do
much to improve it, and they. as all
other thinking persons, are anxious
to get it into the best and most effec-
tive form.
In order that the matter may have
the benefit of the consideration of the
people of the community and the
members of the City Council, the ben
efits of their suggestions, it is given
below in the form in which it was
introduced:
"An ordinance providing a Curfew
regulation for the City of Annapolis"
Section l. Be it established and
ordained by the Mayor. Counselor and
Aldermen of the City of Annapolis,
that it shall be unlawful for any girl
below the age of sixteen years or any
boy below the age of fourteen years
to be on any of the streets, lanes or
alleys, or in any public place in the
City of Annapolis after falf past nine
p. Nj. during the months of June,
July or August, or after nine O'Clock
p. M. during any of the other months,
unless accompanied by parent or
guardian, or by some adult person
authorized by such parent or guardian
to have temporary custody of such
child and exercises direct and con-
tinuous supervision over it,
Section g ANY child violating the
provisions of this ordinance, or any
adult person permitting or conniving
at the violation of this ordinance,
shall be fined sum of not less than
one dollar or more than ten dollars
to be recovered as fines and penalties
are now recovered by the City of An
napolis.
Section 8. And be it further estab-
lished and ordained that the ordi-
nance shall take effect one week after
its passage and it shall continue and
be in full effect during the continu-
ance of the war in which the United
States is now engaged"

ADDRESS IS MADE

Judge Moss Extols Army Fight.
ing Men Of Which St. Johns
Is Now A Section

With simple and impressive cere-
monies this morning, old St Johns
College became a section of the Stu
dents Army Training Corps. The pri-
mary purpose of the Corps is TO uti-
lie the executive and teaching per-
sonnet and the physical equipment of
established institutions of learning in
the training of our new armies. Its
aim is TO train officer-candidate and
technical experts to meet all the needs
of the service. The training is con-
Quoted in about $50 institutions
throughout the country.
With the $50 cadets drawn up in a
square in the space between Mcdowell
and Pinkney Halls, the ceremony of
Induction began when Capt Duncan
Elliott, U. S. A, commandant, read
the official order designating ST.
Johns as section of the S. A. T. c.,
and the address of Gen. March. Chief
of Staff, to those who are to receive
the instruction.
DR.. Thomas Fell, president of the
college, then addressed the student
body. He said that he had been in
England when the war began and saw
the splendid enthusiasm with which
the college youth responded to Kitch-
ener's call. He said that he knew the
same feeling animated the college
youth of this nation, and that the same
fine results would be obtained He
referred to the fact that over 500 st.
Johns men were now serving in the
Army and doing their work splendid
ly, and urged the students to follow
their example in every way.
Judge Robert Moss, chairman of the
Board of Visitors, spoke next. He told
the students that they were to be con-
graduated on the fact that they were
now part of the grandest body of
men ever brought together on Gods
earth, the Army of the United States.
He told them to remember the grand
qualities of the boys who were fight
ing and dying in the trenches, and to
do their part, on this side, as our SOL
diers were doing it on the other side.
Judge Moss warned the students
against the idea that there was to be a
prompt peace, and told them that they
were lighting the most treacherous, in
sidious and brutal foe the world had
ever seen, who was trying to gain by
craft what its armies in the field could
not win. 1--WE must fight them until
they are on their knees begging for
peace" Judge Moss said. He closed
by an exhortation to each student to
get out now if he did not intend to put
the best he had in the task of prepar-
ing himself for the service of his
country.
The ceremonies were closed by Cap
tain Elliott, who outlined the next
work to be performd, and urged all to
put their shoulders to the wheel and
do their work like men,

PROTECT NOSE AND
PROTECT YOUR THROAT
Take Every PrecautiOn to Avoid Ep.
Misunderstanding Against Big
Funerals


The State Health Department has
issued the following advice to pre-
vent, if possible, others contracting
influenza:
1T is of the greatest Importance
that our people protect their threats
and noses. They should not stop any
of the precautions they have been
observing. i also would emphasize
the fact that persons who are unwell
should stay at home and get medical
attention. We find cases of people
who feel badly, and then feel sick, but
keep going until they virtually drop
in their tracks. And, naturally, when
that happens, they have little strength
with which to fight the disease when
it is at its worst. The consequence
is seen in the high death rate.
I'm view of the great number of
deaths at this time from influenza,
or pneumonia resulting from influen-
"a, ! wish to warn against large flu
nerals. Gathering large numbers of
people in close quarters may result
III nuulCAOuS hat Is par
ticularly true when the funeral is held
in the home of a person who has died
from influenza or complications. The
wise thing is to have the service with
in doors made as brief as possible,
if there is any service at all indoors,
and to have the main part of the ser
vice at the grave, where the gathering
is in open air.
