One Year for o.German Editor.


Information was received in Colum-
bia that the Judgment Of the federal
court in South Carolina in the case
Of Albert Orth had been affirmed and
that Orth will now go to the federal
penitentiary in Atlanta for term Of
one year for aiding and abetting a
German prisoner to escape. The case
attracted unusual attention. Orth
was editor Of the Statts-Ieitung, a
German paper published in Charles
ton. Knobloch and another German
prisoner named Fay, escaped from the
federal penitentiary, where they had
been sent for conspiracy to sink
American vessels. Knobloch after es-
Gaping appealed to Orth for assist
ance. This was denied, but Knobloch
was directed by Orth to two men who
donated $40.

THE PRICE OF BONDS

There have been notable advances
lately in the market price of the vari-
GUS Liberty Loan bonds. The first
issue has made the biggest gain, and
is well over par. That is partly due
to the current demand for that par
ticular security, because it is non
taxable; millionaires are said to be
buying up all they can get their hands
on. 1t is largely due. however, to the
Allied successes in France. The vic
torious offensive has boosted our war
bonds all along the line. and with
them the bonds of all our allies.
II has often been pointed out that
the market quotation on our govern
ment bonds hasn't necessarily any re-
lation TO their real value. American
bonds are never worth less than par.
because they are the best security in
the world and the income from them is
as sure as the rising and setting Of
the sun AT the same time, it is pleas
ant to have this practical evidence of
their value. Just now the original
"slss" have gone above par We may
confidently expect that all the rest will
go above par after the war. If not
sooner, insuring nice little profit to
the patriotic holders of them. in addi-
ton to the dividends collected.

A POOR LOSER

The Germans have been fighting
stubbornly. but not with the spirit
that has characterized their fighting
in the past. They tire more easily
and surrender more readily. They do
not take the same chances. There
are many signs of deterioration.
The steady succession of German de-
feats is not so much due to this low
ering of morale. The lowered morale
is the result of defeat The German is
first-class soldier only when he is
fighting on the offensive. When beat
en-, he whines and weakens.
The Russian is at his best in retreat.
The Briton fights with the same ten
acity at the end of a long retreat as
at the beginning. and never knows
when he is licked.
Fritz does know when he is licked,
and promptly celebrates the occasion
by yelling "Kamerad." That is the
most enjoyable fact about the present
situation.

THE coNTAGiON OF VICTORY

The whole world has been struck
with the new fighting spirit shown By
the French and British army In the
past month The victories won over
the Germans have not been due TO
numerical superiority on the battle
front. Their primary cause has been
the rejuyenation OF the allied armies
The French and British troops are
fighting now with the fresh spirit of
1914, aided by all the experience
gained in four years OF struggle.
That long grind had wearied them.
II was an army well trained and brave
soldiers that Gen. Foch took over
when he assumed the allied command,
but 1t was also stale, discouraged
army. No aggregation of men can
fight steadily for so long, in war of
deferred hope, and retain their pris-
tine vigor. They do not weaken, If
they are made of such stuff as our al
lies; but they lose much of their am
bition, their eagerness, their zest for
battle. They fight passively and
philosophically. They are hard to de-
feat. but they are unaggressive. They
have lost their punch.
Why this sudden change in allied
morale? The answer, by this time,
is obvious. It was the Americans who
restored that lost punch. And 1t was
not so much by their own victories as
by their contagious enthusiasm This
fact is made very plain by the big
British war critic. Maj. Gen. Maurice.
1T is not by any means only by the
numerical reinforcement which Amer
ica has brought into the field" he
says. that she has helped turn the
scale. II would be impossible TO over
rate the value of the infusion of fresh
and vigorous life into the Allies. rank
in the fifth year of the war, when there
is a natural tendency for those who
have borne the heat and burden of the
war to become stale. The Americans
emanate keenness and vitality which
! is infectious. while their fresh out
look upon the questions which to US
have become stale by long use, and
their racy fashion of expressing their
views, are most inspiring"
So we find our erstwhile tired allies
lighting again with the reckless dash
OF our own lads. to whom the war is
a holy Crusade and fascinating adj
venture And we find Toronto paper
commenting joyfully on the fact that
British soldiers now advance 70 the
charge cheering.

tiiity may be the withdrawal Of the
Mayor from the contest. and substitu-
ton Of ex-Mayor Mahool or some
other equally acceptable candidate
Al present It seems TO be conceded
that ex-aIayor Tinanus viii be the
nominee OF the Republicans.
Mingled with al 1.-The war talk, is a
rising tide Of discussion over the
political situation 70 the city and state,
which will confront 10th parties next
year. Whether the war will end at
that time or not, the offices must be
filled, and the people must cast their
votes for the men to fill them-and
none Of the nominations will go beg
ging. for the indications are that there
will be as large a list of candidates
for every Office, from the Governor
down, even for the local county Offices.
Indeed candidates in all parts OF the
State are even now at work, laying
their wires in order TO be ready for
the contest when the time for action
comes around. Reports from all Sec
tons of the State indicate that such
is the case, and the interest over the
prospects for next year greatly over
shadow any interest in the Congress
sional campaign of the present year.
1t has always been a difficult task to
get up any enthusiasm in the off-year
Congressional election in Maryland,
and this years contest will not prove
any exception to the rule. The Con-
gressional candidates will go around
and see the people; few poorly at
tended meetings will probably be held,
but that is ALL Next years politics,
however, will prove of great interest,
for the offices TO be filled are those
which control State, city and county
affairs for four years: and manage
the expenditure of vast sums of
money. The people will wake up then,
as the politicians are waking up now
There are more candidates for the
Gubernatorial nomination in both par
ties, looking over the ground now,
than is usual, and from time to time
new ones are discussed as ambitious
to succeed Governor Harrington.
There is every indication that both
parties will be more exacting than
usual, and that the nominees for the
chief office of the State. made by both
parties, will be above the average, and
will size up well before the people.
Second rate men will stand a poor
chance next year as candidates, and
party leaders on both sides are giving
no encouragement to any such. The
day seems to have passed away in
Maryland when parties can afford to
place before the peope second rate or
inferior men for high places, and there
is every indication that only men of
well-established ability and high per-
sonal character will have any chance
to win the higher and more influen-
tial Offices of State. There seems to
be disposition to adopt similar
rule in regard to the more important
city and county offices, and it will be
good day for the people when they
determine to enforce such a program,
and eliminate from public places all
but those who are qualified to hold
them.
