Concrete Proposals.

There can be but one issue. The
settlement must be final. There can
be no compromise No half way de-
cision will be tolerated No half way
decision IL conceivable. These are
the ends for which the associated
peoples OF the world are fighting
and must be given them before there
is peace.
81 The destruction OF every ar
lbitrary power anywhere that can
separately, secretly and OF its single
choice, disturb the peace OF the
world; or, If it cannot be presently
destroyed, at the least It's reduction
to virtual impotence
@2nd.-The settlement OF every
question, whether OF territory, Of
sovereignty, economic arrangement
or of political relationship, upon the
basis OF the FREQ acceptance OF that
settlement by the people Immediately
concerned, and not upon the basis OF
the material interest or advantage OF
any other nation or people which
may desire a different settlement for
the sake OF its own exterior influence
or mastery.
Third. consent OF all ma
lions to be governed in their conduct
towards each other by the same prin-
ciples Of respect for the common law
Of civilized society that govern the
individual citizens OF all modern
states in their relations with one an
other; 10 the end that all promises
and covenants may be saeredly OBJ
served. no private plots or conspira-
cies Matched, no selfish injuries
wrought with impunity and a mutual
trust established upon the handsome
foundation OF O. mutual respect for
right
''Fourth-The establishment OF an
organization for peace which shall
make it certain that the combined
power OF free nations will check
every invasion of right and serve to
make peace and justice the more Sc

Many Visit High School.

Last Friday hundreds of patrons anc
friends of the Thurmont Schools attend
ed Patrons Day exercires in the Audi
torium. This was the first Patrons Day
at school in this place, and from reports
from many sources. it was an event
greatly enjoyed by all who took time to
60.
The work of the young ladies in Do
mestic science was admired very much
and some of their work will soon be be-
fore larger audiences.
Articles in the Manual Training De-
partment show what the boys were doing
many pieces in wood being worthy OF
note.
For several years it has been the Gus
tom to take all the work shown here last
Friday to Frederick and display same at
the Armory along with the work of other
schools in the county. Few of our home
people, therefore, got chance to see
what was being done here.
1t is to be hoped that Patrons Day
will be made permanent in our High
School,
The most elaborate wall decorations
and display of work was to be seen in
Mr.. L. D. Crawford's s room, hundreds of
feet Of red, white and blue paper wreaths
being artistically hung about the room.

Eclipse From The Rockies.

The broad high table. lands and
mountain tops of the Rocky Noun
tain National Park in Colorado will
become a favorite view point for the
total eclipse of the sun on June 8, for
which extensive preparations are now
making. This country is extremely
high and the atmosphere has unusual
clarity,
The rolling plateau lying at the foot
of the Front Range is from 5000 to
5000 feet high. From this rise fifty

Of which, with a clear sky above, one

tops of valley showers. Many of the
mountains have broad flat SUBMITS,
excellently adapted for observation.
This eclipse, which is attracting
much attention from astronomers, is
total over a long broad strip of the
United States, including this section
of the Rockies. The parks accessi-
bility from Denver, its many comfort
able hotels, and its good trails to the
high places makes it especially avail
able for scientific parties.

GOin8! Going! Gone!

This is the story of many of our
old friends Of peace time commerce.
One by one they become scarce and
disappear. As sensational as any has
been the story of the plebeian burlap
sack \ few years ago SO common
that groccrymen gave them away to
get rid OF them, and farmers used
them for barn-door mats, now they
have become 80 much in demand that
manufacturer or farmer parts with
one about as willingly as he does his
fur ovcrcoat. Burlap is one Of those
products caught by the gods OF war
and is almost out of the commercial
market Burlap for household use
has all but gone, and the price is far
beyond its value. Used for sack it
seems only a question Of time when
it cannot be had. Fertilizer manu-
facturcrs have resortcd to 2OO-pound
sacks in order to save the burlap,
which has effected considerable saw
ing. The price they are forced to
pay for the sacking has added mate
rally TO the cost of the fertilizer.
And now we are facing the proba-
bility that sufficient bnrlap can no
longer be had. Bulk shipment of
fertilizer next year is by no means
unlikely. Manufacturers are already
considering the necessity. Mean
while, it behooves the consumer, par
ticularly the farmer, to save all the
bags he has on hand and care for
Them to make them last as long as
possible.

Thief Breaks Window.
Takes Shoes and Hat and Gets
Away.

Along about three O'Clock a. m. tues
dav morning a number of persons resld-
ing near the Public Square in this ploce
were aroused from their slumbers by
several heavy blows with stick, cane
or club on a window, the falling OF the
glass adding to the noise.
Mrs. VIM. Foreman and son Edward
and Mr.. and Mrs. M. j. Albaugh immed-
lately got out of bed but could see no.
body on the street, and after remaining
at their windows some time, again re-
tired to their beds.
In the morning it was discovered that
one of the small panes of glass in Tyson s
Store window had been smashed After
the arrival of Mr.. Tyson it was learned
that two pairs of tan shoes and straw
hat had been taken. Several other pairs
of shoes were not disturbed. Several
boxes of mems hose and other wearing
apparel were not molested.
The thief evidently made hit, grab
and run play and got away before any
one had a chance to get glimpse OF
him. An electric light burns in front OF
the building, but dark alley way along
side the building aids considerable IN
making a quick escape. No clue thus
far has been found that would lead to
the guilty party.
The straw hat was found Tuesday az
ternoon weighted down with stone IN
the water under the bridge on East Malr
street. 1t again appears in the window
from which it was taken.
1t is stated that two persons were seer
running away after the noise Tuesday
