President Wilson yesterday sent out
follow me" call to the people of
Maryland, in the fourth Liberty Loan
campaign, by purchasing one of the
$50 coupon books, upon the $2-down-
d-partial-payment plan. 1t was his
way of digging still deeper to aid the

again into his funds.
In making this purchase the Presi-
dent set an example. He, in effect
called for volunteers-volunte to
follow him in making still another
purchase, even though ones purchases
already may seem to have taxed ones
resources to the utmost The Presi-
dent had bought bonds twice before
But he bought again. and he called in
effect, for many thousands of volun-
teers each to buy a $50 book, and thus
make the loan safe,
To one of those who answer his call
here in Maryland, between this morn
ing and the close of the campaign Sat
urday night, there will go a prize
such prize as a true American will
treasure until the end of his days, and
his children and his childrens chill
dren until the end of theirs Some one
of those who answer his call and buy
book Will receive the two one-dollar
bills with which he made the first pay
ment upon his coupon book.

AIR ACCIDENTS SHOW
 DECREASE IN FRANCE

PARIS.-The number of fatal ac cidents at French flying schools are continually decreasing
 An official report by the inspector general of aviation schools states that the average of fatal accidents per thousand hours of flying during 1916 was 0.37; in 1917 it was O.35: and in 1918, O.25.
 The reduction is considered all the more remarkable in view of the fact that training is becoming more in- tense each year, the mechanism of the machines is more complicated, and higher skill in acrobatics is re- quired.

 Ut was most tragic home-com- ing for the Rumanian soldiers, fol lowing upon the crushing peace terms. It has left on my mind an unforgetable impression of what q German peace is like, Those sol diers came back in rags and half starved to homes that had been re- duced to poverty. They had to wit ness in silence the insolent bearing of the German soldiery in their streets. The officers were told they would either have to salute the Ger man officers or take off their uni forms. They preferred to take off their uniforms.
 There are still plenty of German soldiers there looking fat and we'll and at no pains to conceal their satisfaction at the conclusion of a peace which has put crushing economic burden onto Rumania and bound the country and its trade hand and foot to the Germans. The one hope of the people is an Allied victory"

WICKERSHAM CAMOUFLAGE

Mr Wickersham is now engaged in his sixth campaign for the votes of the people of Alaska and today he is using the same ammunition that stood him in good stead in the first four of them. He is still bas- ing his appeal for votes on his own bald assertion that he is fighter
 Now, those who have lived in Alaska since 1908, when Wicker sham first stood for election, know that the three principal objectives of his Fighting" proclivities have been, since that time continuously, Major" Richardson, the Guggen- helms, and the transportation com panies. So let us see what he has accomplished toward their downfall.
 Major" Richardson is now a general, standing ace high with the war department and in the estima- tion of the authorities at Wash ington.
 The Guggenheims are coining more money in Alaska, with their rail road and mining operations, than ever before in their history
 The transportation companies are still charging all the traffic will bear-and then some. In fact, more than ever.
 And the reason of this is that Wickersham' fighting" has all been done with his mouth, in his campaigning in Alaska-none of it in Washington where he might have had some hope of getting results.
 There is infinitely more reason to believe that Wickersham was successful in his attempt. ten years ago, to get on the Guggenheim payroll than to believe that his con fined to Alaska" campaign attacks on that corporation are sincere; for he has introduced no single bill during his eight years as delegate, that would in any way embarrass that corporation if enacted into law. His campaign talks. he knows, can accomplish nothing to their detri- ment, and he has very carefully re- trained from doing anything at the national capital that would in any way cramp their operations.
 Certain it is that if he were on the Gugg payroll he could in no way better serve their interests
