PATRIOTISM TRUE BLUE.

The spirit of young America may be
gagged by the statement coming from
France to the effect that twenty-three
young Americans who had been re-
jected for some reason or other as not
being up to the American military
standard. have enlisted with the
French, renouncing their native land
in order to fight the battle of democ-
racy. These young fellows are fully
as patriotic as any who wear Uncle
Sans uniform, but they insist that
there should be place for them and
they are going to find it. And still
there are young men at home who can
not forego a cigar or two TO help these
boys by purchasing a thrift stamp.
Truly, patriotism has many shades,
but only one true blue.

WHY NOT FACE THE FACTsl


There still is a harping at Wash
ington upon what public sentiment
in Russia may think of the Allies
through Japan preventing war sup
plies in Siberia and Eastern Siberia
itself from falling into the hands of
Germany. Why not face the actual
tiles? What is the sense of permit
ting action to be delayed by consid-
Grafton of something that does not
exist?
The only public sentiment in Rus
STA able to manifect itself is that of
the Bolshevik, and that is for sur
render and destruction. There are
patriots in Russia, many of them; as
individuals they deplore the plight
OF their country, but in one of the
great crises that test the quality of
men they have proved themselves i'm
potent for cooperation and organi-
cation. So far as shaping events is
concerned, they and their views are
exerting no influence whatsoever.
are not to be considered; il means
only that they do not constitute a
part of the only public sentiment"
in Russia worth considering at this
sheviId
IL may be accepted without ques-
tioning that Bolsheviki sentiment is
opposed to anything and everything
designed to save Russia from Ger
many. What right has anybody at
Washington or anywhere to assume
that patriotic Russians are thinking
along the same lines as the BOlshe-
wiki? What reason is there for be-
lieving that the men who are think
ing broadly and periodically and
still hope to see Russia saved would
resent the Allies, or one of them,
assisting in the saving?
Delay on the part of Japan may
be fatal to an enterprise that may be
of great value to Russia and to the
cause of the Allies. Hesitation on
the part of the United States to give
its approval-and, if opportunity
presents, its practical support-may
add another to the long list of al
lied too lates" Consideration for a
Russia public sentiment which does
not exist makes only for the con-
fusion of thought that from the first
has been so valuable an assistance
to Germany.
Straws show which way the wind
blows. If there is any doubt OF the
wisdom of Japanese action toward
and in Siberia that ought to be dis
PEELED by the discovery that such ac-
ton is being strongly opposed by
every element in this country which
is openly or covertly pro-German.-

Child Labor Needed-Time For The
Farmers OF Every County To Have
Bills Introduced That VIII Give
Them Their GOd-GiVen Right To
Their Children.
To The Editor of Evening Capital:
Delegate Elias n. McAlister, RePub-
lican, of Vienna, Dorchester County,
introduced bill providing for the sus-
pension of child labor and compulsory
education laws in Dorchester county
for the period of the war The bill
was very properly referred to the
Dorchester Delegation consisting of
Messrs. Brown, Dean, McAllister and
Waddill 1t was reported favorably
thanks to the home rule process. OF
course the bill stands mainly for the
farmers, the Gamers and the fruit
growers. 1t is supposed that the peo-
pie of the county know how to best
couple their own interests with those
of Uncle Sam.
But Delegate League, of 926 Han
over street, Baltimore, and Delegate
Claggett, of Hyattsville, presumed TO
know what was best for the Dorches-
ter people away down the bay and said
the bill was putting the burden of the
war on the children. In other words,
they were taking up the plea of the
club women and suffragists-that the
future citizens must be looked out for
and not be either stunted or killed
with work even so moderate either on
ha 70 yr,, ny in paDnarv
But Messrs. League, Claggette and
the tender-hearted women whose chill
dren are nil or very few, can be re-
minded that Herbert Quick and many
other authorities are telling us to look
out for famine. and the natural con-
sequences of famine are to see chill
dren both stunted and killed by its ex-
istance Messrs. League and Gag
gette furthermore contended that
there had been efforts to deprecate the
law in question before the war. Very
true-they worked various evils then,
and now, with the war upon us, they
work 100 fold more.
Various other bills of the kind from
other counties indicate popular dis
gust with the laws in question. Every
county of the State that wishes to
prove its patriotism and at the same
time help the farmers and their chill
dren, should initiate Dorchester coun-
ty throughout, and see TO it that men
and women, who pose as unpatriotic
and impartial sentimentalists only
should no longer be allowed TO Sing
song of six pence pocket full of rye"
while famine marches on and bigger
soldiers die.

MORE SHIPS NEEDED.

ships will win the war" is not
only an American slogan, but one
which is being sounded in England
and France and the British domin-
ions. Speeding up work in our ship
yards is of the highest importance.
Enrolment of men in the public serv-
ice should so forward very rapidly
and, as the reserve is enlisting men
from all fields of endeavor, the en-
rollment should be very large. While
men will be enrolled in the reserve
who can not be used in shipyards,
the first need of the nation is for
more shipbuilders, and mechanics of
all kinds who may be available for
such work should enroll.
The National Department of La
Dor has very properly ordered the

this organization, because of that
fact falls under suspicion. This is
no time for temporizing with an evil
present among us. The remarkable
demonstration in Russia of what an
irresponsible lot of men can make

Americans Take
Cote ChatiIIon

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY
NORTHWEST OF VERDUN, Oct.
17.-Tn complete control of the Cote
Chatillon, the Americans now hold
the key to the great stretches to the
north and northeast The hill is, in
fact, the final of three keys, all Of
which have been bitterly defended.
The first was Mamelle trench outside
of Romagne, which, when won, gave
access to Chatillon.
From the latter position the great
mass of German defensive positions
to the northwest can also be con-
trolled and the line can be exploited
further without organized attack, be-
cause each position is on a sloping
hill that can be swept with an en-
filading fire.
The Americans took today as pris-
oners from the Germans two Rus
slams who had been forced to labor in
working battalions close behind the
front line.

Presidents Reply
Discourages Foe

Comment Of the German press
which reached Washington from
Berne shows that President Wilson'S
decision resulted in great disillu-
sionment throughout all Germany.
Putting aside the pan-German press,
which voices extreme indignation and
assaiIs the President, the great mass
of the German newspapers, especially
those that represent the reichstag
majority, give way to Encouragement.
Their entire tone is very pessimistic,
although they insist that the war
must 60 on. Many of the papers urge
that a reply be framed which will
reopen the correspondence. The
organ Of the conservative party, says
that President Wilson has slapped
Germany in the face. The Deutsche
Tages Zeitung says even a republi-
can government could not consent to
what Wilson exacts.
The Frankfurter Zeitung says:--
"The note will cause more than one
disilIusionment in Germany, but af-
ter the events of the last few months
it was to be expected that it would
not be made easy for us. To nego-
tiate, our rulers, who know what is
best for our people, must not be led
away by the meaning Of the terms
of the note, but must do what they
hold to be just after considering the
entire situation" s-l

Continue For Peace

strations continue in Germany, ac-
cording to the Matin, which says that
groups of soldiers go through the
streets of Berlin singing pacifst and
revolutionary songs. Pan-Germans
who attempted to hold meeting
before the Hindenburg statue were
obliged to dispense by hooting crowds
which attempted to set fire to the
statue. The police had great diff
fculty in preventing them from car
rying out their purpose.
According to reports by General

fused to, obey orders and soldiers
hold meetings to discuss political

off by one of the enemy's Internal
traps, says special dispatch to the
Temps. Seeing piano abandoned
in the middle of a street, he struck
chord and an explosion followed
which ripped off his hand. A gren-

with the keys.
The Temps correspondent warns
returning inhabitants of Cambria to
be careful in correcting any lack of
symmetry they may find in their
homes; to beware of Strengthening
pictures, replacing door panels which
they find loosened, removing nails
and of touching objects they may
find in the courtyard, cellar or gar
den. Such action, he says, may ex-
plode an internal machine.
