In the Black sea, as we'll as

of the German military machine

1t affords US
unusual pleasure to present you
with magnificent flag for your
county in appreciation of the
noble work that has been done
under your supervision. The
effort which has been made by
your people is worthy of the
greatest praise.
No doubt many other counties
in the State will go over the top
to day, but your county, with
one other which went over at
the same moment, will be the
only ones to receive a flag for
first going over the top'
| want to call your attention
to the fact that another flag is
offered to the county which goes
furtherest over. 1t will be a
great stroke for your county to
win this flag also. With the
start that you have made, there
is no reason why you should not
be the winner.
With best wishes, we are

The flag will be thrown to

and happiness to every heart.
Washington, Nov. Ii. Terms
of the armistice which end the
world war, because they strip
Germany of the power to renew
it, were announced by President
Wilson to day in an address to
Congress assembled in joint sss-
sion.
Evacuation of all the invaded
territories, including Alsace-Lor-
raine, reparation for all damage
done, occupation by Allied forces
of principal gateways to Germa-
ny, handing over of the principal
nnits of the German high seas
fleet, surrender of enough war
materials to practically disarm
the German forces, and the
occupation by American and al
lied forces of strategic gateways
to Germany to enforce the full.
fillment of terms are the prin-
cipal features.
Complete destruction of the
German military machine which
brought on the war Is provid-
ed for, and the way paved for
reparation for the damage it
wrought.
Germany must get out Of Rus
sia entirely and leave territory
now occupied open to the allies.
The may of Europe, during dis
cussion of peace terms will be
restored to the lines of 1914.
Germany must return the
thousands of unfortunates she
deported into slavery from Fra.
nee, Belgium and the other in
vaded countries: she must return
the gold taken from Russia. Ru-
mania and Belgium; she must
make good for the property re-

The treaty of Brest- Litovsk,
which delivered Russia into Ger

Arrest which Frustrated Rumania
is likewise to be abandoned.
American and allied prisoners
of war are to be repatriated with
out reciprocal action: what Ger
man forces remain in East Afri-
ca are to surrender uncondition-
ally.
Guns, airplanes and other en-
gines of war numbered by the
thousands are to be turned over
to the Associated Governments,
with their accoutrements. No
further destruction must be
wrought by retreating German
hordes, and vast supplies of coal,

Miners live Long.

1t is an extraordinary fact that even
when deaths from accident arc includ-
ed, the rate Of mortality among miners
of Great Britain is materially lower
than that among any other big class
of labor, except agriculturists, and ap-
probably lower tEan the average rate
of mortality among males. This fact
was discovered by Doctor latham,
while acting as superintendent of STA
tistics in the office of the registrar gen.
eraL Doctor latham points out tllat
while the risk Of fatal accidents among
the coal miners is much greater than
among other males generally, their
risk of death by disease is much lower.
being 1855 per cent less than all Occu-
pied males, and 23.2 Per. cent less than
that OF all males. While coal miners
appear to suffer more than the aver
age mortality from bronchitis. they
show marked immunity from consump-
ton, their mortality from that disease
being less than half the average. From
diseases Of the nervous system their
mortality is IS per cent lower; heart
disease, 10 per cent lower. and from
disease of the liver, 10 per cent lower
than among all males.

MANY CANDIDATES COMING

A larger number of candidates is in
Annapolis at this time than at any
previous time in the city's history,
and more are expected next week
The first of this years tests will be
gin on February 10 and will continue
for three days. The examinations
will, as usual, be conducted under
civil service regulations at the various
stations throughout the country and
the questions propounded by members
OF the academic board of the academy
have been forwarded to these bureaus.
rhe reason for the large number of
candidates is the urgent need of Off
GERS in the service and the fact that
additional appointments were allowed
Senators and Congressman under a
special act of the last Congress. An
napolis is crowded with the would.be
middies who have come here to take
courses of study at the preparatory
schools in or about the city. The stu
dents have in fact flocked here in such
great numbers and they have expert
enced much difficulty in securing liv-
ing accommodations owing to the fact
that the hotels and boarding nous es
and even private residences are filed
