the former entered the living room
I'VE have a topic all ready for you this
EVENING"
rs that so2" replied Uncle Harry,
laying aside his overcoat and hat" 'and
what IS ii, may ask?"
ITS about the demoblizing OF the
great armies. particularly our own
American army. Now that the war is
practically over, our boys In France
ought to be starting for home soon,
shouldn't they? / was talking to Old
Mrs. Grey today; you know her son Is
over there" with the Marines She
was all smiles over. the armistice and
said she supposed that her Donald
would be home in the course Of a
couple Of weeks. But told her that
I didn't think they'd be coming home
thst soon."
Uncle Harry smiled and said, Il can
fully appreciate Mrs Grey's enthusiasm
over what seems TO be the end Of this
bloody war, but I'm afraid she'll have
to walt good deal longer than a few
weeks to see her boy just as millions
OF our other American folks will have
to patiently await the homecoming OF
their husbands, sons, sweethearts and
friends"

, women) at that rate will extend over
a period OF fourteen months"
'Whewr exclaimed Jimmy, why
that means that al Of our men won't
get back until the end OF next year,
even though we started to demobilize
right away"
Right" replied Uncle Harry, "and
it's not at all likely mat demobiliza-
ton will begin in the very near future.
The Issues involved in this Gre1t War
are vitality important and the .srm.es
OF the Allies performed their heroic
task at such a great sacrifice Of life
that the American and Allied Govern

OF France and Belgium, a service that
would be greatly appreciated by those
countries.

PRIVATE PEACE
PROVES FAILURE

N. e. A. Special to The Evening Journal
PARIS. France, Nov 26.--A group OF
81 German soldiers. including a lleuten-
ant, tried to pull on a private armistlce
in the Argonne.
They called across from their
trenches, asking for a parley. Two
Americans who could talk German an
swered them.
The spokesman said they were saxons
and 'Saxons. unlike Prusslans, think
for Themselves
we know the war Is over" they
said, THE Kaiser has abdlcated. We're
tired OF fighting When we're ordered
to fire we shoot over your heads. Let's
not fire at all any more"

Opposed To Taking
Away All State Aid

Protesting against the bill introduce
ed in the House by Delegate Haughey,
of Baltimore City, which does away
with State-aid to private institutions,
representatives of various colleges,
reformatories and charitable organiza-
tons appeared yesterday morning be-
fore the House Judiciary Committee.
That the bill, if passed with the
referendum amendment, will destroy
the present good system of the State
and offer nothing in its place, was the
gist of a strong talk delivered by for
mer State Senator Clarence w. Per-
kins, who, in the capacity of a repre-
sentative of the Maryland School for
Boys, and Washington College, de-
clared that the tendency of the bill is
to do away with education.
General John r. King, one of the
Board of Trustees for st. Marys In
dustrial School, pointed out the good
work done by that institution, and he
warned that the bill should not be
sent to the voters but killed in the
committee, because of the great harm
it will work if made a law. Louis
Levin, speaking for the Hebrew Chart
ties; Morris A. Tyson, the Home of
the Friendless; Philip Sykes, the
Hebrew Charities, and President
Lewis, Western Maryland College, al
son opposed the measure.

grown so rapidly as to fill ponds and
lakes in a short time. A single stalk
is reported to have spread over a wa
ter surface of 700 square yards in a
few months. 1t has caused no little
alarm as a menace to navigation, and
a considerable sum seems to have
been already expended in attempts to
destroy it. It's strong fiber, however,
has been found by NJ. Perrot to be
useful for textile purposes. From 100
pounds of green stalks he obtained
nine pounds of fiber, and a flfth-inch
yarn or cord from this supported a
weight of 100 pounds. The cord can
be woven into mating or canvas. This
can be dyed any color, and Is suitable
as a substitute for woven cane in fur
niture, but is expected to be especial
ly valuable for rice sacks. Such sacks,
equal to jute, can be made lighter than

NO LIQUOR FOR.
COUNTRY'S FIGHTERS
Even Gifts of Ardent Spirits To
Men In Service Barred
GUESTS IN HOME EXCEPTED
Under New Instructions Federal Courts
Will Have Charge Of Prosecuting
Violations

Under new regulations established
by the President and Secretary of
War it is now unlawful knowingly to
give, serve or deliver IL any officer or
members of the military forces any
alcoholic liquor, whether such officer
or soldier is in uniform or not. Ex-
ceptions are made in case the liquor is
given for medicinal purposes under
the direction of a physician or in a
private home in which the officer or
soldier is a member of the family or
a bona fide guest.
The new regulations were made un-
der authority of Section IL of the Act
of May IS, 1917. AS announced by
United States District Attorney Dem
mis- they are as follows:
Alcoholic liquor, including beer,
ale and wine, either alone or with any
other article, shall not. directly or in
directly, be sold, bartered, given,
served, or knowingly delivered to any
officer, or member of the military
forces, except when administered for
medical purposes by or under the di-
rection of a regularly licensed physi
clan or army surgeon; provided, that
this regulation shall not apply to the
giving or serving of such liquor in a
private home to members of the fam
lily or bona fide guests"
Heretofore only the sale of alcoholic
liquors to soldiers in uniform was pro-
hibited by the Federal law. The Civ
ing or delivery to them of even liquors
was not mentioned, and was generally
disposed of by the stationhouse magis-
trate. The new regulations are
sweeping, and hereafter the United
States Court will have jurisdiction in
all cases in which members of the
armed forces of the United States are
Sold. given or furnished with intoxi-
eating liquor.
The change is the law is similar to
that made in the State Liquor Law.
Originally the State law provided only
for the punishment of saloonkeepers
who sold liquor on Sunday So many
saloonkeepers charged with selling on
Sunday pleaded in their defense that
they gave the liquor away, that the
law was changed TO prohibit also Civ
ing or furnishing it, This loophole of
escape has now been closed in the
Federal law, as it was in the State
law

IMPORTANT USE FOR CAMERA
Arctic Region Can Be Mapped by Fho-
tographs Taken From Miles
Above the Objective.

The adventures Of the camera men
in this war are more thrilling than any
romance. Drawing the fire of batteries
Of anti-aircraft guns and hourly en-.
countering the sklllful air dueliSts,
they must calmly choose their posi-
tons, risk their lives often for Il single
exposure, and carry back their pie
lures In record time Successful pho
tographs have been made at height
OF more than three miles, says Boys
Life, the boy scouts magazine, for
February. From such an altitude the
earth appears fiat ali objects being
lost In duh cloud-like effect. but the
cameras used are of the tele-photo
type, which will pierce through this
distance. Some are made with u piS-
toll grip which enables the aviator 10
aim his camera quickly. Other aero
cameras are built into the floor or side
of the aircraft and pictures are taken
by touching button with the foot. An
ingenious mechanical device has been
invented which will take pictures ut
any desired rate per second, so that
nothing win be overlooked.
Aero photography has many impor-
tant uses apart from warfare. The
camera has been carried by daring nd
ventures over uneXplored regions. IL
has been estimated that an aero pho
tographer could cover more territory
In day i'm the Arctic region than could
be traversed in month by dog
sledges.
