Maryland Registered Over IL.
COO in Excess Of Estimate
STATE MAKES GOOD RecoRo
-. 49,
win Be Well Up Ia Front y I'se
In Matter OF Proportion
To Population OF
State.

In the registration for the latest
draft Maryland did far more than was
expected Of her. She registered Just
177,098 men between the ages Of 10
and u and - and q. this being 1890
and some odd more than Provost Mar
shall General Crowder estimated would
be registered.
The totals for the registration were
received by Adtutant Genera! Wsrneaa
and they went far beyond his e3pecta-
lions.
The record made by Maryland b r.
garded as a splendid one, and is taken
as evidence that there are few. II any,
slackers or draft dodgers in this State.
It also indicates that the number Of
men this State will send into the army
will be large In proportion to the total
registration, and will put Maryland
well to the front in the list of states
giving the largest number Of men in
proportion to their total population
Just how many this will be it is hard
to say now, and no one in Official po-
sition is ready to make an estimate.
In June of last year there were regis
tered something in excess of 10000
men between the ages Of p and 81,
and it is estimated that there are now
10000 men from Maryland in all
branches of the service, including the
army, navy and Marine Corps. In the
registration of last June Of men just
reaching their twenty-f1rst birthday,
more than half are now in the service.
If the proportion of those in the
service to the number registered I'M
der the 81 to 81 law holds good in the
new drawing it would indicate that
about 40 per cent of those registered
would be drawn for the army, or from
$4,000 to $4,000. This is merely an
estimate of course, for of those men Of
Maryland now in the service, a large
number were In the old National
Guard and were volunteers. and
in the navy and the Marine Corps and
were thus not among those registered.
Also fair proportion of the vo!un-
teers were below draft age under the
old law. 1t is not expected however,
that anything like as large a proper
ton of men between the ages of IS and
Fl and 80 and As will be available for
service as there were in the 81 to 81
class. For instance, very much
larger proportion of the men taken in
under the new law are married, with
dependent families. and many more
are engaged in indispensable indus
tries than was the case in t., earlier
draft. These things will naturally cut
down the total of the men available
for bearing arms.
AS matter Of fact, II only 20 per
cent. Of those registered IN Maryland
and throughout the country on Thurs-
day are taken into the army, it would
give a new fighting force OF 100000
men, which, added to the 100000 In
France and the million at present in
training. would give an army Of $780,
900, which ought to be s,H!e to chew
up what this country has bitten OF in
the way of a war. And 20 per cent.
or one-ffth of Maryland's reg:strautA
would be $4,000 men,

"The war has caused us to take

as a model upon which to prepare a
plan for short courses of federal train

hibitions with speeches urging reg

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES in Cam

plan for federal training provides, and
we shall not be leaving them at the
mercy Of demagogues within or foes
without"
Mrs. Juliette Low, national presi-
dent Of the girl scouts, says:
'The greatest need of our nation to-
day is definite training which will
draw us together and give us common
ideals Of citizenship. The training pro-
posed supplements the scouting pro-
gram and adds the final touch which is
required to make our boys and girls
into good citizens"
Decision Most Vital.
The statement of the committee of
fifty women's organizations referred to
says, in part:
"The stability and progress of the
nation and even the preservation of
our civilization are involved In the de-
cisions Of the present period and all
should share the obligation to aid the
government in reaching sound conclu-
sions based upon experience and to de-
mand action of the most fundamental
character.
"ShOrt courses Of intensive federal
training for all young people before
they vote appear to offer the only solu-
ton. It is our conviction that such
courses, covering at least six months
life in the open at government ex-
pense, under military discipline, ac-
centuating physical, economic and civic
training, in accord with plans to be ap-
proved by the nations ablest leaders,
would qualify our young people eff
clently to discharge their family and
citizenship obligations and prove Of in
estimable value to the nation.
'The beneficial results of training in
the environments demonstrate what can
be done under broader educational
plan, when young people Of all nation
alities, from all parts Of the country
and all classes, widen their horizon
through intensive training in the es-
sentials of life and government upon
equal terms.
I'm addition to making strong, alert,
clean-cut, thinking Americans, the
training will create a sense of indi-
vidual responsibility, strengthen char
acter and promote a higher regard for
each other, for their country and the
cooperation necessary for the welfare
of all.
Red-elooded Missionaries.
Preparation for the training can.
not wait until after the war, as the
responsibility for wise government will
more than ever fall upon the new vot'
ers from all environments during the
reconstruction period and they should
be the wholesome, red-blooded mission.
aries to carry the message Of orderly
progress and cooperation into every
neighborhood in the land. There is q
deep conviction that the benefits OF
the proposed training will reach the
heart Of every home, lend constant IN

War Time Sweeteners

ERICA has several excellent war time sweet
eners that will be used largely during the
shortage in the sugar supply.
They are maple sugar, syrups, honey and
molasses and may be used in preparing des-
serts and other dishes requiring sweetening.
When a cup Of syrup or honey is used
to replace cup of sugar the liquid in the
recipes should be decreased one-fourth.
One-third of cupful of sugar is equivalent
to Que=third of a Gun of honey about one.
