ftime. Not once did he deViate from
the orders received from authorities
in Washington in preparing and in
carrying through draft orders. In
appointing draft boards he knew no
politics.
One of his early duties during the
opening days of the war, to call the
| Legislature into extra session to en-
act such legislation as was deemed
necessary to enable Maryland TO car
ry her burdens of the war. Greatly
to his surprise and in violation of
promises, he found an organized op-
General Assembly during its extra
session, which Major General Gray,
General Francis E. Waters, Frank A
Furst and other patriotic citizens had
mapped out. Despite the opposition
to the Governor in the Legislature,
based on political grounds and on
disappointmentS, the Governors pro-
gram went through with the eXcep-
ton of the bill granting absent SOL
diers and sailors the right to vote.
This, too, would have passed but for
a rider repeating the Wilson Ballot
Law, which at that time was in force
in five counties
a monument to Governor Harring-
ton was the Compulsory Work Law,
which the legislature passed while in
extra session. This law was novel
one and its failure was predicted. 1t
has worked most advantageously in
the State. Idlers and loafers are
now industriously at work. They
and their communities have been
benefited. So distinct was the gain
through the law that President Will
son summoned the Governor to Wash
ington and discussed with him its
main features. Then came the ma
tion-wide edict: Work or Fight"
New York, New Jersey and other
States whose legislatures have been
in session since the Compulsory
Work Law was enacted in Maryland,
have adopted that law, word for
word. There are thousands of men
in the United States who, as loafers
and idlers, heaped curses upon Gov
ernor Harrington's head, but who,a ,as
toilers under the compulsory law,
have thanked him for leading in a
movement which has reduced idle
ness to a minimum.
In response tc the Governors re-
quest, the legislature also when in
session legalized the Council of De-
fense and, after a long fight, in
which politics was preeminent, APP
propriated $1,0Q0,000 to be spent by
that board for the best interests of
the State during the war. The lar
gest item spent was in clearing Camp
Meade and in handing over to the
federal government a site for a can
torment for training of soldiers. of
whom over $4,000 have or are now
receiving instruction there. The bene-
fits derived by Maryland, especially
by Baltimore, are beyond enumera-
ton.
The Council of Defense has been
active and energetic in every duty
which it has been called upon to per-
form. When General Gray was COM
PEELED to leave the State by calls to
important position, lie was succeeded
by General Francis E. Waters, who
has been tireless in the performance

MIR. HARRINGTON
AS WAR GOVERNOR
Results of His Early Preparedness
Now Apparent-Prompt 70 arouse
The State.

When war was declared against
Germany in April year ago fGover-
nor Harrington, in advance OF cover
nors of all other States, took prompt
action to place Maryland in state of
preparedness, and, in doing this, he
not only set an example for governors
of other States, but he blazed the
way for handing over to the War De-
partment three fully equipped regi-
ments and a trained naval reserve.
. He organized Council Of Defense,
with Gen. Carl r. Gray as Chairman.
Later he added a woman's section
and still later he added a section
composed of coIored residents,
He ordered military census of all
able-bodied men in the State from Is
to 55 years of age, a work which was
done at cost below $4,000 because
of the voluntary services of patriotic
men and women of the State.
/ He made speeches in towns from
Garrett to Worcester counties4 often
facing hostile audiences, in his de-
termination to arouse the people to
respond to their patriotic duties, to
/ convince them that the war was real,
that it was in earnest, that If the
! United States did not aid its Euro
pean Allies in crushing Germany the
United States would be crushed and
an indemnity of $4,000, 0,000,0 600 be
eXacted.
These facts are briefly stated here
! because since the war began fifteen
months ago Maryland has most 5nobly
responded to calls for troops for land
and sea duty, for subscriptions to
Liberty Loans, for purchase of War
Savings Stamps, for Red Gross and
for full participation in all war ac-
| tivities. Governor Harringtons was
! too old to go to the front, but he
sent his son. He paved the way for
! Maryland's response to every. spatri-
! otic duty.
! AS war governor of Maryland, Mr..
Harrington has made a record far
more creditable than Governor Hol-
! liday Hicks, also a Dorchester county
man, who vacillated when the war
! between the States began; who was
made to see his duty by Henry Win
! ter Davis and by General B. FL But
/ Ter. Even with these forces behind
him, Governor Hicks tried to- form
central confederacy to consist of
Maryland, Delaware, Pennsylvania,
New Jersey and New York He
thought he foresaw the disruptfon of
the Union. Governor HaIE1gton
faced duties entirely different from
those which confronted Governor
Hicks, but the present Governor also
had hardships thrust upon him. Some
were political Others grew out of
opposition to the war in general and
opposition to the draft in particular.
On these two, the then paramount is
sues of the day, he never wavered.
He toiled day and night to bring
Maryland to a full realization of her
duty and to make such material prep
arations as could be made in short
The daily banner. (Cambridge, Md.) 1897-2008, 1918-08-05

of his duties. He was quick to grasp
the sphere of usefulness of the coun-
ell and he applied his limitless ener-
gies in further preparations for, the
war. Governor Harrington attended
every meeting of the council and CO.
operated with it in every move to
place Maryland in the first line
trenches" ahead of other States if
possible. The council has distributed
seed, has helped farmers to buy ma
chinery, has engaged in food conser-
vation and other campaigns. 1t has
been in close daily touch with the
National Council in Washington and
has been prompt to apply in Mary
land such suggestions as were adop-
ted by the national body.
The Governor surely had an ele-
phant on his hands while the legis-
lature was in extraordinary session
No man was ever more harried than
he. but the people of Maryland, ever
patriotic, were behind him and he
triumphed despite political efforts to
hamper him.-Sunday American.

To good rich milk HORLICK
added the valuable extract of Matted
Barley and Wheat, containing all the
nutrition of these grains, and reduced
them to q powder form, with perma-
nent keeping qualities, and soluble n
water. It was found that by tho
action of the Malt ferments on the
milk, its digestibility was markedly
increased over ordinary milk, so as
to render it easily assimilated by the
weak stomach of the infant, the in
valid, and the aged.
This well balanced milk food was
thus perfected, which a third of a
century's experience has amply
proved capable in itself of supporting
infant and adult life.
This new milk food HORLICK
named Matted Milk; it has proved a
boon to thousands upon thousands,
from infancy to old age, of every
race and CLINE, and is to be found in
every city in the civilized world.
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1918-12-30
Why matted milk was originated
because of the impossibility of obtaining
good milk at all times and in all places

DREVIOUS to 1888 it was neces-
- sary to add milk to all prepared
: foods for the infant and invalid,
in order to make properly balanced
diet. But it was difficult and often
impossible to obtain good milk in
cities and tropical climates.
The vital problem of how to supply
reliable milk for people of all ages
in any climate that would be avail
able at all times, was finally solved
by HORLICK of Racine, Wis,
U. S. A, after years of labor and ex-
pertinent.
HORLICK discovered a process OF
reducing fresh milk by careful evapo-
ration in vacuum to a powder form,
which contained all the valuable con-
stituents of fresh milk, would keep
indefinitely in any climate, and yet
be soluble in hot or cold water.
This was the first time in history
that milk was reduced to a powder
form, soluble in water, retaining it's
natural qualities when dissolved, and
with all the valuable Vitan7ines

sides with America. That would leave
TO italy the settlement for or against
France
That brings one to another phase
which has to do with ltaly's effort to
get America to act in the preliminary
conference as a mediator between Italy
and the Jugo.Slavs in their dispute
over the east coast Of the Adriatic.
The two nations are at odds now over
that question, and there Is daily dan
ger Of clashes between their troops
The Jugo-Slavs want Trieste, Fiume
and the coast south of those ports
Italy now intimates a Willingness to
give the Jugo.Slavs commercial har'
Dor rights in the use of Flume and to
yield outright sections Of Dalmatia, eN'
cepting the port of cara. The Jugo
Slavs naturally want much more, ana
were led to believe before the wal
ended that they would be supported
by all the Allies except Italy.
Now America is asked to solve this
difficulty. If she can do it with fair
ness to the Jugo.Slavs, at the same
time satisfying Italy, the latter coun
try will probably support America on
special matters as to the League OF
Nations.

shown by some Of the audience to rise
when the national anthem of that com-

Is not customary, however, to pay this
tribute of respect when national an

Whatever. disagreements or har.

negotiations. there is a radical differ.
ence Of opinion now as to the best
way Of approach and the best Sc.
quence in which several problems may
be taken up. The difference may be
most clearly stated in this form:
Shall the league OF nations be con.

the first things to be settled or a sort
OF afterthought to be discussed after
Germany and her former allies have
been compelled to sign the peace

French idea as to the best chronology
of the peace proceedings. 1t begins
with the determination by the Big
Four, America. England, France and
Italy, acting by themselves, as &c
what the principal peace terms must
be.

were to have their objectives put into

Manchester, England, Dec. 3d.
President Wilson spent last night IN
this great Industrial city, where to-
day he received a formal welcome
from the municipal authorities. the
official reception yesterday was cor
dial, but it cannot be compared in Sig
niflcante with that which was ac-
corded today by the people or this
populous midland section, the num-
ber of whose inhabitants exceeds that
of the Metropolitan area. After the
remarkable demonstration in the Pres
ident's honor on his arrival in Man
chester last evening a demonstration
which was entirely unstaged, 1t be-
came certain that the formal welcome
would be as cordial as that which Lon
don gave him.
England seems filled with the spirit
of hospitality that comes from the
heart and not from mere politeness
or expediency. 1t is not going too tar
TO say that British officials are as
much eratified as the President over
the way in which he has been made
| to feel that the part played by the
| United States in the war is not tor'
! gotten, and that lee is regarded as
! the personifcation of the ideals TO
! which free peoples are bound. Inc
| cheers that marked his progress
| through the streets of London on all
occasions when he was in the pubic
view seemed to have depth or reel
| ing betokening genuineness. English'
men and Englshwomen everywhere
agree that London has never before
shown such enthusiasm in greeting
distinguished foreigner. Whether TINS
statement is correct or not the 1act
remains that everybody believes it.
Cordiality Surprises English
An Englishman tells you that he Is
an Unconditional person and expresses
surprise that he let himself loose on
the occasion OF the visit OF the head
of a democratic nation across the seas.
LLOYD George and Balfour have done
their part in conforming to the spirit
of cordial feeling demonstrated i'll the
welcome that has come from the

Want Closer Unity With L. ).
The desire manifested everywhere IN
England to make President Wilson feel
that he is more than welcome has found
expression mainly on the occasions when
he was present; but other incidents oc-
curing without the presence OF the
President to stor the feelings show
even more plainly that the English peo-
pie wish closer unity with America.
