signee ought to be man familiar with the business in which Burdick is engaged, but ought not to be man who has close business connection with Burdick. He said it was q strange situation, difficult to parallel, where a man possessed and operated about
 5000 worth of property and owns nothing therein
 Judge Williams said he would not give a decision but would give oppor-
 tunity to counsel for Burdick to file an assignment along the line indicated, and to name some other person than
 MT. Champlin as assignee. Judge Rath-
 bun said these requirements could be
 met within an. hour. To this Judge
 Williams replied there was no need for
 such rapidity, and that he would be
 ready for the receipt of the papers at any time, and that he could act upon
 them without an open session of the court
 Subsequently Judge Rathbun filed an
 assignment as required by the court,
 in which John T. Edmond was nam ed as assignee This was satisfactory to Judge Williams, who will probd- bly render his decision at next Fri days session of the court The application was brought as a result of judgment several months ago given in suit of Ldda Thomas against Burdick, to recover $500 in damages for injuries received by be- ing struck with an automobile operat- ed by Burdick. When writ was about to be served upon him Burdick made
 the application in which lie set forth that he had no property, could not pay for his board in jail or Day the tail expenses. Should decision be against | l.. II application then be made while i'm prisoned In that event, and with l judgment again against him, lie would have to pay the av11rd. Or go to jail and stay there at the expense of the ] plaintiff

JAPAN AND CHINA
JOIN IN ALLIANCE
FOR PROTECTION OF INTEREST
AGAINST GERMAN AGGREs-
SION IN THE FAR EAST.
DID NOT CONSULT ENTENTE

Washington.-Chin and Japan have
banded together in defensive agree.
ment to protect themselves against
German aggression in Siberia.
This information reached the State
Department in a cablegram from the
American minister at Picking, but the
message failed to more than cast q
meager light on the full significance of
this union.
Whether it would permit of Japan
ese-Chinese intervention in Siberia is
in doubt, but it appeared significant
that as far as the State Department
knew, the arrangement had been con-
cluded without consulting the allies.
Some thought 1t would allow joint
expedition into Siberia but If 1t does
contemplate such action 1t would ap-
parently be contrary to the American
position, which it was said still re-
mains the same-withholding approval
OF any Japanese intervention there,
The reason for this new step is I'M
known here. Nothing has come recent.
ly to show that the situation immedi-
ately demands a defensive alliance,
and it was suggested that this was
based upon fear of contingencies in
Siberia, rather than upon any actual
immediate need for action.
1t seemed likely that the agreement
is result of the fact that Russia now
appears 10 be incapable Of resisting
Germany successfully, though she is
manifesting a spirit OF opposition to
the ruthless Teuton violations against
the Brest treaty. This Russian weak
ness has caused uprisings in Siberia
endangering the border.
The fact that the entente had not
been consulted seemed strange to
some observers, though this perhaps
was based upon the fact that the ar
rangement is defensive rather than Of
fensive, and may contemplate only in
ternal or border protection.
The treaty against Manchuria is con-
sistent in view OF the internal action
of the Anti-Soviet forces, and this evil
IDENTIFY was the basis for the under
standing.

Since the increase in postage rates,
which results in two or more stamps
being frequently placed on letter.
says the Postoffice Department, in
many instances all stamps are not can
celled or the impression of the post
mark is illegible.
This is due in practically all cases, it
is declared, to the fact that in the use
of hand stamps an effort is made to
cancel two or more stamps at one
stroke, and that the postmarking por-
ton Cf the stamps used for cancelling,
in violation the postal laws and regula-
tons.
The attention of postmasters is in

ceiling all stamps. and of making dis
tinct impression of the postmark, so
that each letter and figure will be

NATIONAL PROHIBITION
a LIVE ISSUE

It has been brought to the at
tentton of the prohibition forces
that a concerted effort is being
made by the organized liquor
forces TO create sentiment
against ratifying the National
Prohibition Amendment at this
time ON the ground that it had
not been submitted prior to the
election of the Legislature. Ger
tainly no member will be misled
by this organized and well finan-
ced propaganda Of the liquor
bunch.
The Anti-Saloon League,
through it's publication, through
the pulpit and the press Of the
state, did it's best to make the
issue plain The Personal Liber-
~ League, through it's adver-
tisements, showed that they
understood the issue and made
their fight accordingly.
The resolution for nation
wide prohibition had passed the
Senate before the Delegates and
Senators were elected last fall,
and it was in the House of Re-
representatives. at that time.
There are but few people who
claim to be posted upon this
question who would, for a mo-
ment, say that there was doubt
any time in the past six months
about the submission of this
question to the Legislatures OF
the states. AS a great news
paper of the City of Baltimore
has said, if this question Is not
settled at this Legislature it will
he the question upon which the
election Of all legislatures will
turn for the next seven years.
This certainly Is true unless 36
states ratify the resolution be-
fore that time
We submit that, inasmuch as
the Legislature knows this to
be true, the responsibility for
continuing this fight on the sub
mission Of the nationwide pro-
nibition amendment rests en-
tirely with the Legislature and
The one now in session can
settle this question for all time
% come in Maryland and we
appeal to every friend of the
cause to make this known to his
Senator and members Of the
House of Delegates.
