WHAT THE SCRIPTURES SAY

But in the last days it shall come to
pass that the mountain of the house
of the Lord shall be established in the
top of the mountain. and 1t shall be
exalted above the hills; and people
shall flow unto it.
And many nations shall come. and
say, Come, and let us go up to the
of the Lord, and to the house
of the God of Jacob; and he will teach
us of his ways, and We will walk in his
paths: for the law shall go forth of
Zicn, and the sword of the Lord from
JerseS EN-.
But they shall sit every man under
his zine and under his fig tree; and
none shall make them afraid: for the
mouth of the Lord of hosts hath
spoken it.
For all people will walk every one
in the name of his god, and we will
walk in the name of the Lord our God
forever and ever.-Micah Al. 2, 4. 5.

BRIDGE OR FERRYl

Is again revived and receiving the at
tention OF state officials. The paner
referrer TO is quite frank in it's recital
OF the benefits to the city of Baltimore
to be derived from bridge connecting
that city with the Eastern Shore and
places the benefits TO the rest OF the
state as a secondary matter.
The inconsistency OF this lies in the
TACT that state funds estimated at about
10000 900 would be drawn upon TO
defray the expenses of the Baltimore
city benefit
There can be no question OF the
great benefit that such a means of
communication would be to Baltimore
and that II would be of vast benefit to
residents of the northern part of the
state is equally manifest. But il there
IL a sincere desire to bring travel and
commercial benefit TO a portion of the
state now severely handicapped by the
lack OF such facilities, then a re-es-
Establishment of the ferry connecting
Annapolio with the Eastern Shore
should have earnest and immediate at
tentiol.
Willie It is true there would not be

ferry be- established as there would
be by the ,atruction of the con-
templated Balt.-o bridge, yet 1t
cannot be denied e. die need for a
means OF communicates. 60 the peo-
pie on the two shores in "a. '9uthern
part of the state is just as y gent.
Residents of the Eastern Shore who
have business at the state capital must
now make very circuitous and ex-
pensive journey to reach il. This is a
condition to be remedied and 1t is the
duty of the people of all the southern
portion of the eastern and western
shores to insist upon recognition Of
their claims before they are called
upon to defray the expenses of assist
ing the northern part of the state in a
project which has purely local bene-
factions.

HERO wORsHIPPlNG

We are a nation of hero worshippers
and our romanticism frequently leads
us into a vulgar and silly display of
mawkish sentimentality. When Hobbs
leaped into just fame by daringly
conceived and executed naval exploit
we were not content to allow him to
remain such hero as would enable
MS to give him the respect his posi-
ton and his act had earned. We car
ried our hero worship to the point
where the women of the country for
got their own dignity and that of their
hero SO far as to cheaper his heroism
by promiscuous kissing.
Now some well meaning citizens of
America would cheaper the heroism
of Marshal Foch by raising popular
subscription for him of a dime from
each citizen who cared to give i t.
Marshal Foch's acceptance of such a
testimonial would Immediately serve
to lessen our respect for him and we
would find that our idol was of clay.
If we care to honor Marshal Foch en-
duringly we may erect some simple
memorial We have no doubt this
would be more pleasing testimonial
to him than any material gift and it
would also enable us TO retain our
self respect. When such absurd plans
as popular subscription to such a
man as Marshal Foch are proposed as
a tender of payment for such a service
as he has rendered. there is little
cause to wonder that Europeans re-
gard us as a nation of money grub
bers.

DEATH SENTENCE NOT
EXECUTED IN U. S. ARMY

The American army has wonder

tial, not single soldier was put to
death because of the commission of a
purely military offense," Major-Gen-
eral Crowder, Judge-Advocate Gen

Secretary Baker. General Crowder
said this fac. is the outstanding feat
ure of his report.
Very few death sentences have
been imposed" he said, land none of

courts-martial, of whom 10,S73, or So
per cent, were convicted More than
half the charges against officers were
listed under three heads Absent with
out leave, drunkenness and conduct
unbecoming an officer.
Convictions of enlisted men for de-

HEALTH OF NAVY MEN
DUE TO HYGIENE RULES
General Says War Time Death
Rate Little higher Than
Peace Time Figures

Rear Admiral BREASTED. Surgeon
General of the Navy. in his annual re-
port recently issued attributes the
navy's excellent health and in low NOR
tality largely to the increasing apprec-
iation by commanding officers of the
rules of hygiene nd santa ion. Where
defects in the health system have de-
yeloped, he says, the blame falls
largely on the country's unprepared-
ness for operations of such magni-
tude.
Compared with an annual rate OF
81 per 1000 for the 10 preceding
years. the rate rose during he first
quarter of this year TO SO per 1000
per year. This Dr. BREASTED finds
was due to the unfortunate and I'M
avoidable combination of circum-
stances brought about by the rapid
expansion of the Navy and the I'M
usual weather conditions in the first
quarter of the year. The death rate
for the second quarter was low, 3.3,
a figure closely approaching the aver
age for peace times"
Dr. BREASTED expects the hospi al
admission rate for the calendar year
of 1918 to prove TO be lower than the
peace-time average, despite expansion
of personnel and unusual conditions.
During the year 1873 men were
drowned; 80 died from exposure, and
AZ were killed by gunshot wounds.
The war has served, DIR. Braisted
says. 70 clear the regulations of the
men of the Army and Navy of the i'm
preston in the public mind that dis
eases due to social evils were more
prevalent in the service than outside.
Service doctors have contended all
aleng, he adds, that the ratio stood
three to one in favor of the trained
service men and statistics compiled by
the Provost Marshal General on the
first draft supper them.
The Navy Medical Department be-
gan an organized fight against these
diseases Is years ago, the report says
and the demands of the country now
has been aroused, until a nationwide
campaign is being waged, not only
agains. the diseases themselves. but
also against the underlying social con-
ditions on which they flourish.
