one Of the most interesting and remark
able Of any young American Of this gen.

an important position as financier when

ter Of Chinese and Japanese politics and

Rev. A. T. Howard Called Higher.

On November the 5th, Somewhere in
France" another Of the splendid men who
left Rockville at the call of God and coun-
try, died. This latest one to answer the
"Roll-call of the Skies" is the Rev. A. T.
Howard, former pastor of the Baptist
Church.
Though young in years, he had already
reached position of prominence among
his fellow-ministers and he is mourned by
great host who knew him as pastor, com
panion and friend. He was man moulded
on finer lines than the average and CON-
manded respect In all circles. He was q
great student, combining in happy fashion
the conservative and progressive ready to
hold fast that which is good" and meri-
torious. while rejecting the fads Though
most pleasantly situated In Rockville, he
felt the call to 60 into the service as chap
lain and nothing could dissuade him from
this course. He said. God has thrown
down the challenge and must answer.
He trained at the Chaplain Training Camp
and left for France in July. The esteem
in which he was held in Rockville was
evidenced by the great Union Mass Meeting
held in his honor in the Baptist Church Just
prior to his departure.
How he met his death is yet unknown,
but we know he died as he had lived. He
believed it was better to live well than to
live long" and considering that men live
in deeds rather than years, Mr.. Howard
lived. and continues to live, more than
most men. His influence will long be felt
among us and he has contributed, by his
life and in his death, greatly to the stream
of service which will ultimately wash white
the cities of the world. The sympathy
and prayers of many will blend for his
erief-laden parents in this their hour of
supreme trial. We also manifest the de-
sire that we, too, may be so beautifully
prepared as was our Brother Howard to
answer the Call Higher" OF him may
we again write:
"Life's race well run.
Life's work well done.
LIES crown well won."

Ban Off ShOp-EarIy Slogan For
Christmas.

The Council of National Defense. in view
of the signing Of the armistice. has re-
leased all merchants from any obligation
to curtail Christmas trade. Announcement
to this effect has been made by Acting
Director Governor B. Garrison. Months
ago when the duration Of the war was
believed to be far off the council entered
into an agreement with leading manufac-
turers and merchants of the country for
the imposition Of definite restrictions re-
garding the volume and nature Of the
Christmas trade. There being no longer
any military reason for these restrictions
they have been withdrawn by the Gov
eminent.

Montgomery's Contention Would
Encourage SIackers.
p. X. WAGNER

Editor The Sentinel, Rockville, Md.
Dear Sir My attention has just been
called to an article appearing in the regu-
lar issue Of your paper, November 18th,
entitled "Montgomery's Claim Considered
Fair," and as many of our customers are
subscribers to your paper. we think. in
justice to ourselves, the authority for our
making the claim: That customers of this
bank residing in Damascus district could
purchase their bonds through us and at
the same time get credit in their own
county, should likewise be published.
Bulletin No. 8, dated September 25th,
sent out by the Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond. explaining the "Apportionment
of the Fourth Liberty Loan" contained
the following information:
1T must be taken into account by the
people of every community that when an
apportionment is made to a bank in any
case, it means that the amount apportioned
is the amount which the people of that
community or the patrons of that bank are
| expected to subscribe for through the bank,
and not the amount which the bank is
expected to subscribe for its own account
1T will perhaps frequently be the case that
citizens of one county will subscribe through
banking institutions in another county,
and citizens in counties in which there
are no banks, as matter of course, will
| subscribe in counties where there are banks
II all subscriptions made in any county are
reported to the County Chairman, and the
County Chairman will report to his state
committee and to u.s. due credit will be
given to the county for all such reported
subscriptions"
The first paragraph plainly states that
appointments are made to the patrons of
bank. II person is a patron of par
ticular bank anywhere. he is in all fairness
expected by the Department and his bank
to buy his just share of his apportionment.
A prominent citizen residing in Damascus
district has suggested to us that according
to his opinion, the bank official who solicits
subscriptions from the patrons OF other
banks than his own, with the idea Of re-
leasing them from the obligation Of buying
their fun apportionment, is encouraging
slackers to the extent Of the subscription
received.
The second Paragraph explains that the
only thing necessary for a subscriber to do
in order that his county could get credit is
to report the subscription to his County
Chairman.
Very respectfully.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service ]
NEW YORK, Feb 18.-The sugges-
tion Of I. W. W. riots in New England
Industrial cities unless coal Is furnish
ed at once, was presented to Secretary
of the NAVY Daniels today by a group
OF textile and other mill men from Bos-
ton and vicinity.
Asking that naval colliers or other
vessels be placed at the disposal OF
that section of the country, the DELE
cation declared that at the end of two
weeks at least SOC, ,0Oa foreigners wonid
be out OF work in the big centers, II
the coal was not Forthcoming:
The spokesman, Albert Green Dun
can, Boston, told Daniels that plants
making army clothing, steel, boots and
shoes, and other vital war goods, will
have to shut down unless big amount
of coal is furnished Immediately.
New England was down to one
day supply of coal yesterday.
The delegation was informed that all
colliers are needed in the military serv-
ice, but that the question will be taken
up with Railroad Administrator NC
