OUR OVERSEAS ARMY

Secretary Baker informs us that at
the present time there are more than
100000 American troops in France.
For obvious reasons he does not give
the exact number of men over there.
but even IL only a half a million had
already been sent, that would be Y
most credftable showing for our first
year of participation in the war
Moreover, it is a fulfllment of Mr..
Bakers prediction, made before tho
Senate last January, that early in the
present year 100000 mon would be
despatched to France,
The German press has repeatedly
informed the public that If any Amer
lean troops at all were sent to the
western front, no appreciable number
could be fitted out there before 1919
at the very earliest. After the engage
ments along the Toul sector, and the
glorious achievements OF our men at
Seicheprey, the German commanders
realize how sadly they were mistaken.
Gradually they are awakening to the
fact that this country is in the fight
to a finish and that not only Ameri-
can dollars, but American msn as
we'll will be the deciding factors in
the world conflict. a,.,|. ...-
Critics of the War Departm ent.
who have become almost hysterical
of late over an alleged shortage of ma
chine guns, are effectively sllenced by
an additional statement by Mr.. Baker.
who declares that ''There is no pres
ent shortage of light or heavy types
of these weapons, either in France or
America, and no shortage is in pros
pect. This will be gratifying news to
the country at large, but especially
to the member of families which
have given one or more men to the
service.
There rs no doubt that the Ameri-
can force now in France represents
only a small part OF the total strength
that will be available for employment
by General Foch before the summer
lighting ends. That the men will lack
nothing in the way of equipment is
vouched for by the strict adherence
on the part of the War Depa rtment IN
the policy OF fully equipping everv
man before he begins his iournev
across the sea.
3 Regarding heavy. guns, Mr.. Baker
added:
EARLY manufa cturers' estimates ~
to the production of the heavy TYNE
perhaps were more optimistic than
was justified. The estimate Of the
Ordnance Department in January has
been met and is being met. Some Of
these heavy guns have been produced
and there is every indication of forth
coming production in increasing and
substantial numbers"
Som eday those who have been an
tasonistic and unjust toward Secre-
tary Baker will realize how they have
underestimated his ability. He was
placed In the most trying position
ever experienced by any man in his
office but he has measured IN to tho
task at every turn, and has more than
merited the confidence placed in hin,
by the President.

THE HAPPY BRIDES.

The lady who married four soldiers
I'm order to get a nice little income
during the war and four good chances
at insurance, is said to hold the rec
ord for daring and numbers in this
respect. But girls who marry two
soldiers for this purpose are said to be
rather numerous, and girls who have
married one with this motive are to
be found everywhere
II there is any line of profiteering
more despicable than any other, un-
doubtedly this is the one. Public opin-
ion should come down so crushingly
on the girl whose motives are the least
bit questionable that her life as war
bride would not be worth living.
That the girl who marries in good
faith and who works busily at war re-
lief or at preparing for her future
home or at any productive occupation
should have her allowance of her hus-
bands pay is just 1t is particularly
so If there are. or are to be, children.
But that a girl should live in idle
ness on the pay of four soldiers-that
an idle girl should use that allowance
for Injuries while her soldier hus-
band is iighting-is almost beneath
contempt.
1t is a matter that the government
would find difficult TO adjust, because
of the difficulty of getting at funda-
mental facts of motive and personal
situation But il is a matter which
the strong force OF opinion of girls in
their twenties should stop. That the
motives of every prospective bride
should be made questionable by the
greed of few is intolerable.

CANS PER PERSON.

The United States Department Of

quarts OF food put up in cans in homes
this summer The commercial can
ners are expected TO do at least their
usual amount, but their output is ex-
elusive OF this.
Counting 100,000,000 people to eat
the put-up food, it means that about
Is quarts per person is the just share
to be canned A family of five, there
fore, would need TO put up Is quarts
of food The bulletin does not say
whether this includes jams, jellies
and other spreads" but presumably
Ii does not These are often by
product of the main fruit-canning job.
Vegetables are especially urged up
on the home Gamers II nine quarts
OF vegetables per person could be put
up in every home this summer, and six
quarts of fruit and a dozen or fifteen
small glasses of fruit spreads" on
the side. the great American family
would be in no danger of famine next
winter. As there are many families
which, obviously. cannot do this, the
families which can put up more should
spare no effort TO put up all they can.
Forty quarts OF vegetables per person
would make the ordinary family indie

leaving their product for others who
cannot store food.
The cheerful news is given out that
the quality of rubber rings has been

containers are also improving their
products and increasing the supply, by
request OF the Department of Agricul-
ture. This applies to glass jars, stone

Sufficient sugar will also be avail
able.
The fruit crops in some parts of the
country are very short. owing to the
severity of the winter. But the war

bean "put-up" this year will exceed
all records.

Answer To Local Fuel Administrator
On Coal Conditions In Annapolis.
10 the Editor az ZIG Canital.

To the Editor of The Capital:
l would like to say few words in
answer to the numerous interviews
with our local Fuel Administrator, Mr..
Walter H. Hart, which have appeared
in your paper recently in which he
criticized the coal dealers of Annapo-
lis. While / believe that most of the
Annapolis people have not taken these
articles very seriously there might be
some who do not know the source
from which they came and believe
them true, and it is my object in writ
ing this letter to tell our customers
that they have not been so grossly
treated as Mr.. Hart has tried to make
it appear.
If Mr. Hart has found any cases of
oyercharging it is his duty to prose
cut the case instead of stopping half
way so that he may crown himself
with the glory he so enjoys.
The article which appeared in your
paper, stating that Mr.. Warren E
