HEAVY DRIFT ICE
MENACES SHIPPING
| Traffic in PatapscO And Bay is En-
| dan9ered-UnSafe For Small Ship.

Heavy drift ice in the channels
| continues to menace vessel traffic in
| the Patapsco river and Chesapeake
| Bay. Steamers from Norfolk were
three hours late reaching port yes
| terday, due to battling through the
| foes from off Poplar Island to North
! Point. The masters of these vessels
say that it is still unsafe for any but
| the larger vessels to attempt the pas
sage until conditions improve
1t is stated that with a shift of the
| wind to the northwest, much of the
| ice now in the channels will be car
! ried to the eastern side of the Bay,
| affording open water for vessels ar
| irving and departing from this port
! Advices received yesterday state that
| the Potomac, Rappahannock and Pa
| tuXent rivers are practically free OF
| ice and with few exceptions many
of the rivers and creeks on the east
ern side of the Bay are open to navi-
| cation.
| While the situation is improving
generally over the Chesapeake Bay
no steamboats, of the Baltimore
| Chesapeake and Atlantic and Mary
i land, Delaware and Virginia Railway
| Company's will start running until
! about the middle of next week. That
was the decision handed down yes
| terday by superintendent A. H.Seth
who stated that all danger to the
| vessels from ice must be past before
| they would resume running. The
worse condition is at the entrance
| to the Patapsco river, he stated, land
trouble would be encountered in get
! ting the boats out from this port.
/ None of the steamers of these
lines has turned a wheel since De-
| cember 2Sth.

FOR STATE MILK BUREAU
Its Early Appointment is Now Adj
yoCated.

Some interesting facts about milk
and the necessity for a State milk
bureau age given in this weeks is
sue OF TIT, Town:
No food is as important to us as
the milk supply. 1t is of first value
to the farmer. No Maryland farm
will continue to thrive without cows.
1t is of first Importance to the peo-
pie in general. When we realize
that, after its mothers milk, cows
milk should be the chief food of ey-
cry little child and of many invalids,
and that even at the present ad-
vanced price it is by far the cheapest
real food for the family, it is mani
fest that this is true. When we
hear from the president of the State
Board of Agriculture that, if things
go on as they are much longer, we
will have no general milk supply in
Maryland, and when we realize that
it takes years 10 replace herds, the
tragedy of the situation is obvious.
If the Defense Council or the
Governor would appoint the presi-
dent of the State Board of Health,
Dr.Welch; the president of the State
Board of Agriculture, Mr.. S. M.
Shoemaker, and the new president
of the Maryland Agricultural Col
lege, DR.. Woods, as an unpaid
standing commission, with power to
form milk bureau, to use existing
agencies, immediate relief and per-
manent protection could be effec-
tive. Indeed, we see no reason why
this appointment of commission
should not be made by Mr.. Hoover
himself as a wartime measure. A
commission of this sort would be in
order in any State. The bureau
would, of course, vary as local needs
vary.
We believe the milk bureau should
have the following functions: In
spection, education, investigation,
control and grading.

TRUST COMPANY TAKES
$4,000 in SHlPYARD
Directors al Meeting Last Night De-
cided to Underwrite $4,000 of
Stock in The Proposed New Ship
yard.

The directors of the Eastern
Shore Trust Company, at their
meeting last night, decided to I'M
derwrite $4,000 of the capital
stock of the new Shipyard Company
to be started in Cambridge. This is
not only patriotic enterprise, but
is also matter of great Importance
to Cambridge. The example set by
the Trust Company should be follow
ed by our other financial institutions
and business men without exception
if the shipyard is to be made a GER
tainty.
The many advantages of this en-
terprise, which would employ 800
men and bring abundant labor here
for other purposes, cannot be over
estimated. If Cambridge makes up
its mind to have the shipyard, it
will get it, and let there be no
knockers, no one to throw monkey
wrenches in the cogs; no one to
raise doubts, to throw out Ifs"
lands" and "buts" We need &C
ton. we need the enterprise badly.

Tobacco Necessary
For Men In The Service

Washington, D. c., Feb. 1.-THE
use of tobacco by our troops in the
trenches plays no small part in the
conservation of food, say Marine
Corps officials here, who estimate
that from Is to 80 per cent. of food
is saved daily in this manner.
While authorities admit the det-
rimental influence of narcotics, they
assert that tobacco relieves the ner-
vous tension of soldiers who are
under continual shell fire.
EARLY in the war" declared
Marine officer, the French discov-
cred that men who smoke eat con-
siderably less food, and only recent
ly the British Food Controller issued
the statement: The British troops
in the trenches must have tobacco or
much more food"

(Associated Press Summary.)
 Mont Kemmel, the height dominat- ing all the northern side of the Lys salient in Flanders, again is in Bri- tish hands, and 1t seems probable that the Germans have retired from it. As there has been no attack made there by the British, there are evidences that the enemy's retreat from the Lys salient is being accel- this battle area, the British have gaind from one to two miles today. While there is every evidence that the allied pressure against the Ger man lines from Arras to Soissons continues, desperate attempts of the enemy to cover their retreat seems to have brought about a virtual pause for the moment.
 Hard fighting is going on north of Soissons, where the Americans and French are striving to capture the high plateau which dominates the Aisne and Ailette valleys. The Germans are fighting hard in this sector, however, and appear to have checked the allies for the present.
