WAR RECORD BOOK
IN THE BINDERY

The Maryland War Record Portrait
Book, compiled by the Motley Bros,
Baltimore, which contains sketches of
the Annapolis and Anne Arundel
County boys in the service, is now in
the bindery. The book has been much
delayed, owing to the shortage of la
Dor, which has greatly interfered with
the plans. BY those who have seen
the book, it is said to have gone far
beyond expectations. There have been
many Annapolis subscribers to the
work.

MAJOR VIM. Jones
BRINGS HERO MEDAL
OF CAPT. STARL|NGS
Annapolis Army Officer Presents
Cross Of Honor To The
Hero's Mother
SENT HOME BY
SON IN FRANCE
Capt. Paul N. Starlings, Of An.
napolis, Recently Decorated
BY French Government

Major William j. Jones, U. S. A.
of the Fifth Field Artillery, U. S. A.
son of Mrs. Mary E. Shelton. Market
street, this city, arrived home last
night after a conference.-the tour
of duty overseas. While serving his
country in France, Major Jones was
injured in battle, having sustained
the fracture of several ribs, and other
injuries, from which, however. he has
finally recovered. He is not invalided
home, but was ordered to the States
for active duty and instruction OF
Camp Meade. He is waiting orders
which will probably be to instruct a
school of Field Artillery
Coming from France. he was depu-
tized to bring with him a Cross OF
Honor awarded Captain Paul Nut
we'll Starlings, of Annapolis, son OF
Mrs. Ella c. Starlings, Green street
to whom Major Jones today presented
her sons medal
On August Capt. Starlings was
decorated with the Legion of Honor
the highest honor that can be paid
an American Officer by the Govern
ment of France. There were only
three who received this honor, the
other two being a General and an
other Captain besides Capt. Starlings
The General, who recommended the
honor, sent the following: For fear
lessly executing his mission in lead
ing his company into the fight when
the last reserve of the Brigade to
which he was attached and when he
received the order to enter (deleted)
and hold the town (deleted) at time
when wounded men and stragglers
reported without exception that our
troops had never been able to enter
the town. This under very heavy
artillery and machine gun fire."
The Captain wrote his mother some
time ago, as published in these col
umns, that he would send the medal
to her, which she received today from
the hands of Major Jones. 1t is very
beautiful, and is in the shape of a
cross. 1t will be on display this af-
ternoon at the meeting of War Moth
ers of America, at the House of Del
egates, in the State House.
Major William Jones, who brought
it home, is a brother of Lieut.. Col
Roy Jones, now attached to duty with
the Department at Washington. Both
brothers are graduates of st. Johns
College, and both are a credit to An
napolis who should feel keen sense
of pride in them and in the honors
and distinction which they have won
in the service by dint of their own
worthiness, through struggle and am
bition.
Their mother, whose husband was
an enlisted man in the navy, was left
a widow when these two boys were
quite small.
First the elder was educated, and
after graduating at st. Johns, and
while a student there he worked al
the Naval Academy to help educate
his younger brother.
Both Lieut-Col. Roy Jones and his
younger brother Major William Jones
have won their spurs Geseryedly, and
Annapolis has just cause to be proud
of them, as it has of Capt. Paul Nut.
well Starlings, who has been deco
rated by the French Government foI
bravery and heroism in the war over
seas.

WAGES AND AFTER-wAR PROBLEMS.

The wages of railroad men have been increased again.
Persons who wear the shoes and clothes, who eat the provisions,
who use other commodities transported by railroads will have
to pay this increase in an indirect manner-even the railroad
employee himself. Why railroads employees should be so
coddled in one of the things past finding out. If labor continues
to have the preference shown it by the powers that be the day
will soon come when the farms will be deserted for vOcatlons
offering more compensation, with the result that few Will re-
main to grow the food to feed the men in industrial pursuits,
on the railroads, in the mines, on the ships, in the army, IN the
professions and in commercial activities. The whole social life
of the nation is threatened with such an upheaval that it will
require years of after-war consideration to bring about an ad-
justment that will restore the balance that prevailed before
war declared. And another dire thing to contemplate is the
uproar that will follow when war-inflated wages are lowered
to a peace level. Strikes and lockouts are sure to follow, if not
rioting.
The above is reproduced from the Crystal Springs Metear
in order that all classes, railroad men as we'll as others, may
catch the drift of the public mind. What this newspaper states
is in substance what we have heard numerous others OF late,

WILLIAMS WRITES ABOUT FIX
ING PRICE OF COTTON.

CIa.ksjaIe, Miss, Sept. 22.-L. v.
N~agruder. a well-known cotton man
Of this city. in reply to a communi-
cation addressed to Senator John
Sharp Williams relative to the Ques-
ton of fixing a price for cotton, is
in receipt of the following communi-
cation:
washington, Sept. 10, 1913.
Mr.. Lawson Magruder,
Clarksdale, Miss.
MY Dear M. Magruder-Iour
telegram of the 18th received. There
is a great deal Of unnecessary excite
ment about this cotton business. The
government could not, if it wanted
to, fx the price OF cotton; that is.
the price at which you sell me cotton
and / should sell it to you. 1t can
fix the price which it will pay for
cotton to be used by it for explosives
and other purposes connected with
the war; it can refuse to pay any
| more than what it considers a far
price, and if there is an attempt to
profiteer at the expense of the gov
eminent in selling cotton, it ought
to take the anne course it has taken
in buying other commodities. Fur
| Their than that the government could
| not go if it wanted to. Of course, if
the government said that it would
| pay only a certain price, that would
| have an effect upon the market, but
it would not be fixing the price Of
| cotton. | dictate rather hurriedly,
| but with every expression of regard.
Very truly yours,
JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS"
"P. S.-Judging from the prices
| the government has paid for other
| commodities it will pay a price for
| cotton sufficient to stimulate pro-
| duction."

Senator Vardaman has issued an address to the My Dear
FTiends'-he has abbreviated his audience somewhat, hereto
fore he has been addressing 'the people of MisSissippi"-n
which he urges his friends to pay their taxes and to register.
Now this would seem that the Senator thinks that a vast ma
jorty Of his followers are tax dodgers and that they need to
be reminded TO register. Is it not a reflection on any set Of
men to say OF them that they need to be admOnished to dis
charge an ordinary public obligation? The man VINO is so lit
tie concerned about the welfare of his neighborhood that
ne does not pay his part Of the taxes which go to send the chill
dren of everybody to school and bear the necessary burdens of
society, is hardly worthy of voting, is he?
Even in death some things do not cease to remind those
who chance to be about Of their offensiveness. And many
have seen objects that were dead and did not know it. Some
people are indeed obtuse and it is difficult for them to learn
e n ordinary truths.
