A Parting Shot-Soon Baltimore City
WIN Have TO Bear The Burden.


To the Editor Of The EUeaing Capital:
The question of Annexation has been
threshed out ad libitum and many
opinions have been given pro and con.
There is however financial ques-
ton involved which We may we'll take
notice of
The cost of the local government of
Brooklyn and Curtis Bay may be
taken into consideration and we may
find that from a financial standpoint
that we have not been heavy losers.
We cannot make a basis of calcula-
ton on this years levy, however. for
the reason that we only pay running
expenses to January /, 1919, but we
can predicate the profit and loss on
the levy of 1916.
In that year the total county levy
(outside of the roads, which are work
ed and paid for on the township sys-
tenn was S144,4S2.50.

one-fifth of the county taxes maybe

DEMOCRATIC TICKET
THE CURFEw ORDINANCE

The passage of the Curfew ordi-'
nance on Monday evening by the City
Council OF Annapolis should meet with
the approval of all OF our citizens.
Such a law would have been timely
and very beneficial long ago.
There can probably be no just criti-
cism of the Ordinance except as TO its
duration. Why should it be limited
10 six months after the close of the
war? Surely the reasons that made
IL necessary for the enactment of such
a law now will still obtain after the
close OF the war.
The Ordinance prohibits girls, under
the age OF sixteen years, and boys,
under the age of fourteen years. being
upon the strets or any public places in
the City after half past nine p. NJ,
during the months of June, July Au-
gust, or after nine p. NJ. during the
other months unless accompanied by
parent or guardian TO have temporary
custody OF such child and exercising
direct and continuous supervision over
it,
II does not seem possible that any
one could give any logical reason why
children restricted under the ordi-
nance should be allowed on the streets
alone after the hours specified therein
II is hoped that the Ordinance will
be made permanent and that feature
of it limiting its effect until six
months after the war" shall be elimi
mated.

TROUSERS IN KANSAS

Women may wear trousers in Kan
sas now as much as they want to- The
matter is settled with finality by a
ruling OF Attorney General Reed.
Certain prudish gentlemen insisted
that the wearing Of mems garments
by women was contrary to Bible doc
trine, and wanted to know whether it
was not also contrary to the State law.
In reply, the official announces that
neither the law of God nor the law of
man forbids women TO wear such gar
ments when they are engaged in war
work. Presumably the same principle
holds when they are engaged in any
legitimate work that renders such APP
parel appropriate.
II is a common-sense judgment, OF
course, in line with practice that is
becoming common the world over II
there are statutes in any of the States
prohibiting the custom. they are being
construed very literally.
AS for the verdict of Holy Writ,
surely the complaining gentlemen
were treading on dangerous ground
when they harked back to that. A
thorough search has failed TO reveal
any mention of trousers in the Bible.
1t has revealed, however, that if we
follow Biblical precedent, men would
have 10 wear skirts.

A BURNING QUESTION
How Shall We Solve Our Waste Paper.
Who Can Solve IT.

The Government is continually send
ing out calls to prevent waste. A very
forceful one appeared in the columns
of this paper recently. appealing to
all to refrain from wasting paper.
However, like so many appeals,
nothing is told to the willing worker
as to what is to be done with the paper
after it is saved.
This is a very serious question.
Every housewife sees daily the great
waste that is going on in this one line
alone.
In Pittsburg, separate containers
are used for the garbage and waste
paper, all wrappers from meat and
even fish, being saved
This necessitates a baler placed
somewhere.
The young ladies of that city on
certain days of the week go round in
their cars and gather up the newspa-
pers which have been carefully folded
and prepared for them, and take them
to the Carnegie Library, where they
are packed and sent off,
Another article appeared showing
how much glycerin can be obtained
from the garbage if kept separate, yet
broken glass and dirt are mixed with
it, rendering it useless.
Will not some patriotic citizen arise
and find out how to utilize the things
that are saved, and let the willing
savers know?

RELEASING GERMANY ON BAIL

There is much confusion of thought
regarding the present status of Ger
many resulting from her request for
an armistice. The matter is put with
unusual clearness by Frank H. Sim
onds in the New York Tribune:
The position of German is the posi-
ton of a criminal who has submitted
himself to the law and asked for re-
lease on bail pending trial"
The armistice. as everybody knows,
has not yet been granted. President
Wilson, in transmitting the request to
our Allies. has not even recommended
that it be granted. He has merely
brought the matter officially to their
attention. The question remains to
be decided by all the allies acting to-
gether
To continue the smile: I'VE must
first decide if ii be safe to permit bail,
and second. what is the proper Sc
curity to take against the appearance
of the criminal on trial"
IL is Marshal Foch, acting with the
advice of the commanders of the var
ious national armies under him. who
will decide whether it is safe to admit
Germany to bail on any terms, and if
it is, what the amount of the bail-the
extent of the security-shall be.
The bail" would be the laying down
of arms. the withdrawal from occupied
territory, the occupation by the Allies
of German strongholds. etc.
If this procedure is carried out, the
criminal will then come to trial at the
bar of civilization-the supreme court
of the world, in which the allied gov
eminent sit as judges-and the verdict

WHAT THE NAVY is DOING

Because there has been as yet no
great sea battle, IL might seem that
our navy. up to date, had played little
part in the war.
On the contrary, the increasing roll
of victories on land could never have
been accomplished without the navies,
for to them belong the credit for the
transportation of men, supplies and
food, failing which those victories
would have been impossible.
The transportation of 100000
American soldiers to France with a
loss of only 800 is in itself a marvellous
feat.
We have now 500 ships in European
waters. Our battle ships with those
of Great Britain hold the German fleet
bottled in the North Sea. At Arch
angel and vladivostok the big ships
stand guard, while the destroyers and
chasers ride the Atlantic day and
night, hunting the U-boats to their
death.
Man and ship, we are ready at mo-
ment's notice for offensive or defensive
Should the Germans launch the threat
ened winter U-boat drive, we are pre-
pared
IL following the traditions of the
sea, the German battle ships make a
dash for freedom rather than tamely
surrender. they will not catch us I'M
awares. Our navies only wait the
chance once more to prove themselves
a fighting body worthy of their Coun-
try's pride.
