Several y 'ge new
purchases have been Sc
cured for the event,
and our entire regular
stocks go into it at spe-
cial February reduc-

1t will satisfy those
who know most about
our kind of furniture to
be sold that the quality
Of everything to be Of
fered in this Sale is as
good as we have ever
offered.
In some respects it is
better.
TWO especially inter-
Il esting features of
the Sale will be:
A new and unusual
exhibition of Breakfast
Room and Sun-Parlor
Furniture. Even a few
pieces of these bring
into any home the lux
urious atmosphere of
the Florida Winter re-
sort-with the superior
attraction that it is the
home.
The period classified
tions of furniture which
have been reproduced
with such faithfulness
by this Store, are rep
resented in what is
probably the highest de-
gree of elegant taste in
this country.
The magnitude of the
purchases from manu-
facturers for the Sale
is the cause not only for
our receiving the lowest
possible prices from the
mills and factories, but
also for the best work

ture. The advantage of

PRESIDENT WILSON'S
FOURTEEN PRINCIPLES

On Tuesday, January s, 1918, Pres
ident Wilson laid the peace terms Of
the United States Government before
both Houses of Congress in joint ses-
sion. The IA principles, which he has
not since altered or added to, were:
1 Open covenants of peace that pre-
vent international misunderstanG-
ing.
Absolute freedom of the seas in
peace or war, except as they may
be closed by international action.
Removal of all economic barriers
and establishment of equality OF
trade conditions among nations
consenting to peace and associat-
ing themselves for its mainten-
ance.
4 Guarantees for the reduction of
national ornaments to the lowest
point consistent with domestic
safety.
Impartial adjustment of all colo
NAL claims based upon the prin-
ciple that the peoples concerned
have equal weight with the inter
ests of the governments.
6 Evacuation of all Russian terri
tory and opportunity for Russia's
development.
Evacuation of Belgium without any
attempt to limit her sovereignty.
S All French territory to be freed
and restored and reparation for
the taking of Alsace-Lorraine
8 REIMBURSEMENT of Italy's frontiers
along clearly recognized lines of
nationality.
10 Freest opportunity for autonomous
development of the peoples of Aus
tria-Hungary.
III Evacuation of Rumania, Serbia and
sea for Serbia and international
guarantees for economic and po-
litical independence and terrific
rial integrity for the Balkan States.

SOLDIERS NEXT OF KIN
SHOULD SEND CHANGES

Owing to the fact that persons des-
ignated by soldiers to receive advice
in the event of their death, injury,
capture fail, in very many cases
to notify The Adjutant Generals Of
flee promptly of changes in their adj
dresses, that office is experiencing
considerable difficulty in obtaining
delivery of some of its casualty tele-
grams.
The telegram is, of course, sent in
on the soldiers record, and if the
party named has in the meantime
moved elsewhere it is returned as un-
deliverable. The Adjutant Generals
office finds it impracticable in most
cases to locate the addressee who
thus fails to receive the desired no.
LITIGATION.
1t therefore develops upon every
person who knows that he has been
designated by some soldier to receive
messages of this nature to notify The
Adjutant General Immediately when
ever he changes his address. Care
should be taken, whenever a commu-
nication on this subject is addressed
to The Adjutant General, to state the
soldiers full name. his rank, and the
designation of the organization in
which he is serving. His serial num-
Der should also be given, if it is
known.
The person who is primarily inter-
ested in this matter is, of course, the
one who has been designated by the
soldier for the purpose of receiving
notice of any casualty which may oc-
cur in his case, and that person just
ly can not complain on account of not
having received the desired notice if
he has himself been at fault by neg
lecting to keep in touch with the mil
itary authorities at Washington.
All correspondents on this subject
should be addressed to The Adjutant
General, Washington, d. c.

GIVING THEM WAR

The Germans begin now TO realize
what war is. We are giving them war
as they have made it. with all their
diaboIicaI Improvements in the art of
killing, and giving it to them with
Yankee improvements, in measure I'LL
ing up and running over.
The shells falling on the Metz forts
SO far are merely mild @strafing' TO
what is to come little later on.
Many city OF the Rhineland country
and beyond will yet learn by bitter ex-
perience the devastation and sorrow
that Germany has visited on the fair
cities of France and Belgium.
The Germans are already beginning
TO understand that, and are quak-
ing with fear.

POISONING WELLS

From time immemorial the poison
ing of springs and wells has been re-
garded. by civilized men, and by most
savages, as one of the most despicable
crimes TO which human beings can
sink. Always in wars between nations
making any claim to culture and de-
cency, the water which means life to
man and beast has been respected. AL
ways, that is. until the present war.
Germany changed that, as she changed
so many other things, when she set
about TO Germanize the world and re-
write all law, tradition and custom.
We have long been familiar with the
poisoning of wells by the Germans in
their African campaigns. Sporadic
cases have developed now and then in
Europe, but there never appeared to
be any established practice of the
sort. Now the diabolical practice has
been adopted on the western front, as
tit climax to the razing of towns, the
blowing up of roads and the destruc-
ton of every living thing in the range
of the Huns at being driven from the
land they have so long polluted.
There is documentary and circum-
stantial proof. There has fallen into
the hands of the French authorities a
military order issued September 5,
1918, to the 9th and Goth German
regiments. II gives instructions re-
garding the destruction of villages in
general, and then states:
All wells should be poisoned 1t is
the duty of everyone to participate in
the destruction of wells. Care should
be taken that the bombs do not ex-
plode too soon"
The poisoning is done by means of
cross-shaped bombs containing a
deadly chemical. They are exploded
in the wells, and the fumes are alb
sorbed by the water. One we'll was
found bearing warning to German
soldiers. with a poison bomb along
side of it that had not been exploded.
Allied soldiers, advancing across
the redeemed land. would drink that
water and die. Innocent refugees, re-
turning to their ruined homes, would

TIN AND PLATINUM
ARE ON LEVEL
Both Much Desired by the Govern
ment for War Uses

Red Cross workers throughout the
country are requested to devote part
of their time to collecting platinum
and tin for Government uses. The
campaign is being undertaken at the
request of the War Industries Board
Despite the wide gulf that has hith-
erto separated lowly tin from aristo-
cratic platinum, these two extremes
in metals are now brought to a COM
mon level by the necessities of war.
Each is regarded as of equal import
ance to many of the essential indus
tries of the country, and as there is
a shortage of both materials, the Gov
eminent has called upon the Red
Cross to help make UP the deficit.

GASOLINE

The gasoline situation turns out to
be rather simple. The production is
not quite sufficient for the normal de-
mand at home plus the abnormal de-
mand abroad.
In the winter we can get along very
well. because the natural curtailment
of pleasure-riding saves enough gaso-
line for export requirements, and es-
tablishes a surplus besides. II was so
last winter, and will be so the COM
ing winter. In the summer we con-
sumo more than is produced, making
a deficit
Ordinarily the winter surplus would
make up the summer deficit. That is
no longer true II is only a question,
then. how soon in the year that de-
felt becomes serious, and how it is
to be met when 1t comes.
This year the deficit might have hit
us hard in September or October if
the fuel administration had not acted
before ii was really upon us. We are

ing the greater part of the nation re-
frain from using pleasure cars on Sun
day.
That voluntary" method is said to
be proving effective. 1t arouses con-
siderable criticism, however, owing to
the fact that il is not applied to the
whole country, and owing to the local
abuses that have attended its adop-
ton. Ii is not that automobiles are
unwilling to acQuiesce so much as that
citizens and officials are too jealous
in forcing acquiescence. 1t might be
better IL the rule were made manda-
tory by the Government. The East,
too, would be better satisfied if the
West were included.

the city and TO his immediate consti-
tuents His kindly, genial presence
makes him welcome wherever he goes.
With his wife he lives in happy re-
tirement at Gainesville. where not
long ago. they celebrated the fiftieth
anniversary of their marriage.
The work of faithful public servants
is rarely ever appreciated by the peo-
pie generally, but Mr. Weyler has the
satisfaction of knowing in his retire
ment, that his long and devoted atten-
ton TO his duty is valued at its true
worth by a host of especially
by those who have known him well,
and his career for more than twenty
years, warrants the writer in saying.
that in all that time the people of
Maryland have had no more faithful,
devoted: and able public servant than
John f. Weyler.
The question is often asked, espe-
cially by people from the counties, as
TO the future leadership of the demo-
cratic party in the city when the pres
ent generation of men in control has
passed away, or retired from active
view, all of whom have many quail
ties which fit them for the work.
Among them, and easily in the first
rank are. Mr.. Albert S. J. Owens, for
eight years the able States Attorney
for Baltimore City. and Mr. Albert G..
Richie. at present the honored Aa-
torney-General of the State. Among
the younger men, who are showing a
special aptitude for decent political
leadership may be named Mr.. G. C.
Fridel, Mr.. John l.. Sanford. Mr.. Gill
bert Daley. Mr. Vincent Palmisno,
and several able and astute young
lawyers. about whom more will be
said in a near future letter.
AS stated in a former letter, the
republican leaders have their eyes on
four out of six Congressional districts
of Maryland, and will use all their eff
forts to carry the election in these dis
tricts. These are the First, Fourth,
Fifth Districts.
Indeed it is reliably reported from
Washington that Messrs. Weller, Jack
son and France have promised the ma
tional republican leaders that they
will carry all these districts, and send
four republicans to the next Congress
from this State. 1t will be well there
fore, for the democratic voters to be
on their guard, so that there may be
no slipping up in the campaign in the
n
ton day, and especially on election
day.

the work of the prisoners not only
paid all the expenses of the manage

the State Treasury every year. The
convicts were treated with kindness
and consideration, but with great firm
ness, and every effort, consistent with
the fact that they were there as pun

reform them and prepare them to lead
better lives, and obey the laws when
they were released. There are hun

who owe il to the wise and kindly,

from Mr. Weyler, when they were ex-

Mr.. Weyler is now over seventy two
years old. He is the picture of health
and contentment and enjoys meeting
his old friends, of whom he has liter

There were two perfectly good rea-

to give any formal answer to the Aus

One was the reason given by Presi-

Germany and Austria repeatedly what
