From our shores this gospel of the
man OF GaliIee and tins gospel of our
national freedom have gone forth to
every land. To our shores have come
lives from every nation to be here fused
into one national life and to add thus to
our evergrowIng strength against this

the divine cause of humanity is to be
won or lost.

country's flag are men of every land

German and Dutch and Spanish and
Armenians and Chinese and Japaneses
and Africans and Indians. There is
scarce race on earth that is not repre-
sented in this army OF liberty.
"Our army is the army of this ma
ton, but it is more: 1t is the army of
the libcrty-loving world. Its blood is
the blood of humanity. the humanity of
Jesus. the humanity for which Jesus
lived and died.

"Well, this nation sings no hymn of
hate. The spirit of those who will
carry the Stars and Stripes to Berlin Is
not the spirit of hatred. When the

hatred that fires the bullet to end its

TRI0TIC.

Republicans will not be moved by the
maunderings of Senator WILLIAM JOEL
STONE of Missouri to depart from their
consistently maintained attitude of
loyalty and patriotism. But as they
read his gratuitous insults emitted in
the United States Senate recently their
minds, like all other minds, will revert
to the not remote past when this same
Senator STONE was held up to the scorn
of his fellow citizens by the leader of
his own party, the President of the
United States, for obstructing measures
IN protection of Americans rights on
the high seas, thereby giving aid and
comfort to the German Kaiser. And
they will bark back a few months
farther than the days of activity of the
"wifull twelve" of whom Senator
STONE was the chief, when the Senior
Senator from Missouri was gum

York holding secret confabs with pro-
Germans to no good of the United
States. When a question of loyalty IS

Baltimore American. }


A bill is before the Maryland Legis-
lature to extend the term of Chief
Judge A. Hunter Boyd, of the Court of
Appeals of Maryland, to the year 1922.
Under the Constitution Of the state the
judges are elected for fifteen years, are
eligible for reelection and are qualified
to hold Office until they are seventy
years of age, but the General Assembly
may extend the time not to exceed the
term for which a judge was elected.
Chief Judge BOYD was appointed chief
judge Of the Fourth Judicial Circuit,
which embraces Allegany, Washington
and Garrett counties, by Gov. Frank
Brown in 1892; the following fall he
was nominated on the Democratic
ticket for the same position and was
elected for term of fifteen years over
his Republican opponent by large
majority. His election as chief Judge
made him eX officio member of the
Court of Appeals Bench of the State
When his term expired in 1907 he was
reelected for another term of fifteen
years, which will expire in 1922. AS he
will attain the age of seventy years be-
fore this period the obiecC of the pres
ent bill is to allow him to serve out his
term in accordance with the desire of
the electors of the Fourth Circuit.
Judge Boyd was made Chief Judge
of the Court of Appeals upon the death
of Judge McSherTy in 1907 and in 1912
was elected president Of the State Bar
Association. 1t is not often that public
men are told of the good that is in them.
This is generally reserved for eulogies
pronounced when they are dead. 1t
sometimes happens, however, that it is
to the public interest to comment on
the record made by our public men and
to commend them for an answering
fidelity to public duty, high sense of
honor, and an enlightened administra-
ton of justice. Such we feel is not too
much to write about Chief Judge Boyd.
For the past twenty six years he has
administered justice with impartiality
and ability and the opinions the writes
today are as virile and erudite as at anv
time in his career. This state would
suffer distinct loss if Chief Judge
Boyd was compelled to retire because
of the failure Of the legislature to pass
the bill extending the age limit and we
have no fear that such will be the case.
The Fourth District beng considered
Republican district. has twice elected
him as its chief justice, although he
was Democrat in politics, and Re-
publican legislature can be depended on
to keep the judiciary non. partisan by
voting for this bill.
The Constitution OF the State pro-
vides that the judge shall be selected
from those lawyers most distinguished
for integrity, wisdom and sound legal
knowledge and Judge Boyd gratfies all
of these conditions. Maryland has
eminent and honest judges, the bench
has been free from scandal, it has at
tracted many Of the leaders Of the bar.
and the Chief Justice is the polar star
of the profession.

Snipers Dress For Fancy
Ball Before Going to Work

Behind the American Lines in
France.-The American sniper wears
a fantastic suit oe green burlap,
with tufts of RATA. or Madagascar
grass. sewed thickly all over the
coat and trousers, The VA has a
headpiece with eyeholes so that the
sniper's head is completely enNel-
oped.
American troops in the Vosges
have used these ~camoutlage suits
with great effect. The grass-covered
burlap is merged into the grass
through which the sniper crawls, and
even when only twenty-five feet dis
tant his presence cannot be detected.
These suits are made by French
women in the American camouflage
station behind the lines.
The disappearing building is
one of the curious contrivances of
the camouflage artists here. The
building is the size of a two-story
frame cottage Viewed close at hand
it stands Out plainly enough, and
even at 100 feet the cottage is quite
clear, But at the distance from
which the enemy observations would
be made. or from an airplane at
5000 feet, the building does in fact
disappear" This is done by the
painting in of great wavy lines OF
green and brown which, at a dis
lance, obliterate the straight lines
of roof, gable, windows and doors,
and transform the whole structure
into a blur of grcen-brown color
which blends into the grass and
ground.
