A MODERN ANGELUs

Daily, at high noon,' Writes a
Home Service Chairman, all Red
Cross workers pause for moment in
silent prayer for the welfare of the
men at the front and their folk at
home"
Several Home Service Chairmen
have spoken to me of the same GUS
tom and have asked for my thoughts
on the subject. They are:
Irrespective of creed, we can all
pray to the God of Everybody. Be that
prayer a duplication, wish or a
thought, it cannot but make us who
so pause to commune with our own
souls think more kindly of those who
watch and wait and work, and, may
hap, agonize at home because they
have men on the lighting line. And if
we think of those, we feel for them.
That is the spirit of Red Cross Home
shall crave to serve for them and to
serve them. That - Service - is the
fruition of the spirit of Home Service.
And if by such service, the families of
those who fight afar are happier and
better off, the certainty of this welfare
secured and to be maintained will
make for fighting men more fit and
for forces more assured of success in
arms. In this way shall we who pray
help find the answer to our prayers.
In our own hearts too. there cam
not help but be an answer. Just be-
cause we have paused to think about
the spirit of our work-just because
for brief moment we have ceased to
be routineers and have looked above
the daily detail to catch the vision of
the great motive of the work in which
we are engaged-we shall come to
realize that the Red Cross is too big
for persons or personalities-that the
spirit of Red Cross is sacrifice and
service-the universal religion to
which all of warning world can sub

III you care TO realize what our sol
diers have been going through, read
this little description of the lighting
in the Argonne Forest:
1T is raining and inky darkness
prevails. The Boche Smelling is heavy
and he is pouring gas into all the val
Ieys, so our men must travel on the
hills. Those hills are being raked by
thousands OF German IT'S.
"The Americans in advance hit the
barbed wire. Their rifles are slung
across their shoulders and the pliers
are pulled out. Busily our men cut
wires. The noise they make brings a
nasty rat-a-tat from a Hun machine
gun from tree on the other side Of
the wire.
"Then another and another, and
twenty machine guns are going.
Our doughboys pile through that
wire fence and through the under
brush and stack up against another
fence ten feet farther away.
1.-THE range has been pushed back
to the Boche and shells begin TO fall
all around.
"They cut that barbed wire and
then stumble on to concealed wire en-
tanglements covered with brush. They
climb trees. All the time from the
dark the German shippers and ma
chine gun men, always with time
enough to fall back, are taking their
toll.
"Now our line comes upon broad
trench with more wire. In the dark
our boys leap across it; some fall into
II and the mud. Others get over at the
first attempt and pull out their pliers
to cut more wires. All the time it is
raining and cold. very cold. The inky
blackness there in the forest is broken
by streams of fire from Hun machine
guns and the intermitten flash of
some German sniper SEEMING to taunt
the youthful Americans struggling
against such devilish odds as men sell
dom have fought against"

how high or low they may be in the

munity And the contrast between
the management of the Commission

Colonel Baughman's predecessors is
noticed by every one who approves of

proved himself to be a worthy son of
worthy and honored sire.
Another State official who has
shown that he is the right man in the
right place is Mr.. Charles d. Wagga-
man, Chairman of the State Accident
Commission. In position almost en-
tirely judicial in its character, vested
with large powers in dealing with the
protection of those who are engaged
in all sorts of arduous tasks, Mr..
Waggaman has proved his worth in
all respects. A lawyer, with lage
and lucrative practice, all of which
he was obliged to give up, he devotes
all of his time to one of the most
trying and complicated public tasks,
and, what is unusual, he ras been able
to perform his duties in a way that
has proved eminently satisfactory to
both sides in nearly all of the contro-
versies which came before his Board
for adjustment. Although a Republic
can, he was made chairman of the
Commission by Governor Harrington,
and no question of his political be-
liefs ever enters into any of the calcu-
lations regarding his fitness and abil-
ity faithful and impartially to per-
form his duties Regardless of his
politics, Mr. Waggaman is an honor
to the public service of the State. He
is one of those rare characters in
public life to whom duty conscien-
tiously and impartially performed is
the only consideration and intention
in all that he does.

Death vi congressman talbot ana Ur.
Wells Removes Two Picturesque
Figures In Public Affairs OF State.
WIZ Be Missed In Councils OF Their
Own Party. Prominent In Politics
For Half A Century.
To me Editor Of The Euening Capital:
The death OF Congressman Talbot,
of Baltimore county. and DIR. George
Wells. OF Anne Arundel, takes from
the field OF active politics the two
most picturesque figures in the public
affairs of the State Both were full
of years and honors, and both were
noted for their devotion to the Dem
ocratic party and its real oul-fashion-
ed principles. They were Maryland
Democrats of the old school, to whom
the Democratic party was the ifalli-
BILE guide. True to their friends and
always loyal TO those who were loyal
to them, they both had large personal
followings outside of the practical
politicians, and their real sources OF
political strength were not solely
among those who made a business of
politics, but rather among the plain
rank and file, who in the end enabled
both TO retain their hold on public
affairs all through their long and. at
times, tumultuous lives. Their per-
sonal personality was not confined to
members of their own party, but both
enjoyed, in large measure, the es-
TEEN of many of their most prominent
political opponents, and in still larger
measure the friendship and esteem OF
many in the humber walks of life,
who never took any prominent part in
public affairs. While both will be es-
pecially missed in the councils of
their own party, they will also be
greatly missed as citizens whose devo-
tion to the public welfare was second
ond to that of no one who has attain
ed to prominnece in Maryland during
the last half century.
The list of prominent State officials
contains the names of men whose de-
votion to the duties assigned to them
under the law, has placed them in the
rank of those who deserve well of
the people, and to whom the public
generally is under obligations for the
able and conscientious safeguarding
of their interests. And first and fore
most in this list of faithful and able
public servants may be placed the
name of Colonel e. Austin Baugh-
man, head of the Motor Vehicle Depar-
ment of the State Government No
State official devotes more time to the
performance of his duties than Colo
mel Baughman, and it is doubtful If
any one of them devotes as much
time to his Official work. He is, lit
orally on the job night and day. and
his personal efforts to secure the en-
forcement of the laws governing the
motor vehicle traffic, in Maryland,
have done a very great deal toward
minimizing accidents to life and limb
