(By Associated Press)

PARIS, Oct. 24.-Emperor William
conferred Monday with all the mem
bers OF the government talking at
length with each individual, and then
harangued them in body, says a dis
patch from Zurich to the Journal.
Thus far the German newspapers have
printed nothing concerning the en-
peror's speech.
The war cabinet held another long
meeting Tuesday.
The address Of tho chancellor to the
reichstag is criticiA i sharply by a
majority of the newspapers. The ex-
tracts from the speech circulated by
the Wolff Bureau, the semiofficial
news agency, are to some extent
garbled, while other passages bear
so little resemblance to what Prince
Macmillan said that they appear to
have been invented.
Military Heads Active.
The Socialist newspapers. the Eur
ich dispatch continues, are particular

post of Nuremberg, Bavaria, says the
emperor must not think the German
people are going to continue the war
for months to please him.

The correspondent reports that the
chancellor and the pan Germans are
working actively toward the formation
OF a national defense government. He
says a proclamation to the people ex-
horing them to carry on war to the
utmost has been drafted with the
help OF Gen. Ludendorff, and that he
understands it will be published as
soon as President Wilson's reply has
been received.
1t is expected in Berlin, the cores
pondent adds. that the president will
not allow himself to be flouted and
ridiculed by the existing German gov
eminent.

FROM HIS GUARD
Frederick A. Becker, Penitentiary
Prisoner, Disappears.

The first prisoner of the MARYLAND
Penitentiary to make his escape within
the past thirty years while under the
care of the officials of that institution,
made his getaway Saturday afternoon
while working on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad tracks at Mt. Winans.
Frederick A. Becker, of Garrett county,
prior to his entry into the Penitentlary
on June II, 1912, was one of a gang of
fifty Penitentiary prisoners who left for
Mt Winsns every morning for work
on the roads. Although the group was
being guarded by five deputy wa-dens
of the Penitentiary, Becker managed to
| sneak into the woods bordering the rail-
road tracks. A few minutes after his
disappearance, search was begun.
Becker was sentenced to nine
year-term IN the PeHitentIary on charges
Of larceny and robbery. His term be-
gan on June II. 1912, Warden Leonard
said, and would have expired within
fourteen months, since his behavior was
good and nearly two years time had
been dropped from the length of his
term.
Besides the fifty men working on the
Baltimore and Ohio tracks at Mt. Win
ans, there are IA other Penitentiary
inmates who are being used for road
labor Becker's escape Is not only the
first one since the men have been put
to work on the roads about year ago,
but is the first since 1888, when a dar-
ing getaway from the Penitentiary
grounds was effected by a prisoner
named Burke.
The report Of Becker's escape has
brought to mind the nearly perfect re-
cord maintained by the wardens of the
Penltentiary, and has also served as a
reminder of the bold attempt made by
Burke IN securing his liberty. One of
Burke's friends Who had been released
early in 1888, acted as his accomplice
and aided materially in releasing him
from the PenitentjagY. A large water
pipe running from the yard of the Pen
itentiary and then beneath the Peni-
Tertiary and Jail buildings to the bank
of Jones Falls was used to successfully
complete the job
The liberated friend crawled along
the bank of Jones Falls and sawed the
grating after many weeks and through
this Burke made his way to liberty.
A net has been spread for the re-
capture of Becker, and Warden Leon
ard expects word of his arrest within
few days
Becker is the man who held I'D train
No. l on the Seventeen Mile grade and
was captured near the scene of the
hcld-Up the following morning.

RUSSIAN OUTLAWS.

President Wilson has outlawed the
Bolsheviki. His formal call upon the
nations outside of the Central group to
protest, in the name of civilization,
against the conditions of murder and
assassination beyond description that
prevail in unhappy Russia is striking
episode. The Bolshevists. the authors
of this orgie of horrible infernality, are
the men who professed to be so con-
siderate of human life that they called
the fighting forces from the field, with
the deluding promise that the partition
ment of the lands was in progress and
they must be home to get their share.
This service to the Kaiser has fruit
ed in the service of murder and out
rage of the worst description by these
unthinkable deflers of every decent
phase of human association. Mr.. VIII
son has given ringing denunciation to
the criminals, and the neutrals are
asked to unite in protest that shall be
apart from the war and intended solely
to express the eXecration of human
sentiment against such wholesale and
unwarranted killing of innocent persons.
In this type of leadership Mr.. Wilson
is giving to the United States its full
and enviable place as the determined
supporter of the weak, defender of the
outraged and exalter of the tenets of
humanity. No neutral power can fail
to respond without itself being brought
under quasi partnership in these awful
crimes Of horror that spare no age, sex
or nationality apart from those en-
braced IN the Central group of powers.

RESERVES AND REveRsEs

A simple transportion of letters
spells both-reserYes and reverses. A
simple Encouragement of conditions will
produce either.
These two words, so alphabetically
akin, carry the relationship into their
meaning.
The intactness of your reserves de-
ponds upon the extent of your revesses.
The seriousness of your reverres is &C
centuated or mipimized by the amount
of your reserves.
Wherever either figures, both are
factors. Each depends upon the other.
They are equalizers. They determine
the points of solvency and liquidation.
A defensive warfare is one of re-
serves and reverses.
The allied offensive is designed to
continue Germany's reverses till her
last effective reserves are thrown into
the fray.
1t is at once perceivable that the
frequency and weight of allied thrusts
determines the speed with which the
length and strength of the Hun parties
will be diminished
Through all of life's vicissitudes, the
principle of reverses versus reserves
stards unchanged. One financier light.
ly regards setback which would be
another's calamity. One mans vital
forces magnetic his personality while
another's, depleted by excuses, con-
stitute diluted form of energy that is
his last reserve.
Though no reverses are anticipated
through indiscretion, negligence or
willful disregard of natural laws, it is
to our individual selt-interest to amass
reserves all along life's battlefront.
For those who do, the element of chance
has no terrors and the spectre of worry
is an unfamiliar vision.

ONE WOUNDED AND 2
MISSING IN ACTION
Garrett COuntians in Lists Dur.
ing the Week.

The names of three Garrett county
soldiers operating in France have ap-
peared in the casualty lists issued by
the War Department during the past
week, one of whom was wounded and
two missing in action.
The wounded soldier is Thomas
Joseph Carney, of Bloomington, who
enlisted several months ago in the
artillery branch of the service. He is
a son of the late Thomas Garvey. well
remembered by the older residents of
the county.
Those reported missing were William
HICKMAN, of Accident, and DAYTON d.
Dewitt, of Hoyes. Private HICKMAN
was sent to Camp Meade many months
ago and assigned to the 313th Infantry.
Later he was transferred from Meade
to Gordon and made a member of the
lllth Infantry and went overseas in
the early days of the war.
Private Dewitt is son of the late
Charles Dewitt, of FriendsvilIe, and
with his mother, Mrs. Ann Dewitt,

two years ago from which town he
entered the service as an infantryman.

GARRETT LEADS
IN HOME GARDENS
$4,000 Successfully Conducted in
MARYLAND County This Season.

Garrett county, Md, with Is, 900
home gardenss successfully conducted
within its borders during the last
spring, summer and fall, is the ban
ner county of the United States in this
regard. If every county of the country
had as good record the food problem
of the nation would be reduced to q
minimum.
Previous to this year Garrett has i'm
ported yearly an average of 100 car
loads of produce for!home consumption,
but this year not a carload was brought
in from the outside'and-in addition to
supplying all of its own wants it has
about 100 carloads of potatoes to send
out to the rest of the world. The record
is considered all the more commendable
from the fact that Garrett is in a
mountainous section and has nowhere
near the record for fertility possessed
by Frederick, Carroll, Hartford, Balti-
more and other counties.
Attention was called to this unique
win-the-war effort by James W.
Thomas, food administrator for Garrett
county, at the dinner given Tuesday
night at the Maryland Club by Edwin
G. Baetjer, food administrator for
Maryland, with the county admins
traitors of his guests.
Mr. Thomas also told the story of a
patriotic American girl, daughter of
Garrett county farmer, who denied the
privilege she had persistently sought
of going to France for service, enlisted
two of her girl chums in a home-can-
