SHRINES

\ surge Of emotion sweeps down the
streets of England's capital city, sig
nails from every flagpole. echoes in ev-
cry cheer and is drawn out in the sweet
ness of every bugle call. "Welcome.
welcome. welcome to them. welcome
the Americans" is the message. History
fiutters her pages. and the writing be-
comes visible to every heart. An event
that is the symbol of mighty things is
held in each conscious minute. Ponder
able and imponderable things struggle
for expression.
Americans are said to have been sur
jriscd and pleased ut the unqualified
and spontaneous welcome with which
they were received in London and

quickening is shared by all the Anglo

In 1914 England started to build
new shrines at home and shrines in
France. golden shrines the like of

were first to bow their head. and to

CAREFULNESS AND HEALTH

Health is largely matter of being
careful and thoughtful. In this connec
ton some things that should be borne
in mind are the following:
That vaccination is harmless anG
will prevent smallpox.
That anti-tpyhoid vaccine will pre-
vent typhoid fever.
That proper sanitation will prevent
many deaths this summer among the
little children.

eOFF COLUMBUS
Barracks FRIDAY
One Man Substituted for Another
Who Was Excused.

Last Friday evening six men for ser
vice in the army left Oakland for Col
umbus, Ohio, where they will go into
training as part of a unit in process
of forming at the barracks located in or
near that city.
The men who left Oakland went on a
special train which arrived here at 7.30
O'Clock in the evening and was COM
posed of fifteen day coaches filled to
capacity with selects from all over
Maryland, many of them coming from
Baltimore, others from Hagerstown,
Frederick and Cumberland and inter-
mendiate points along the line OF the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad.
Those who went from Oakland were
Harry Fazenbaker, Westernport; Rus
sell Moon, Swanton; Orval Clayton
Glotfelty, Bittinger; Mason M. Smith,
Swanton; Benjamin Henry Frazee.
Selbysport, and Harvey Dwight Bittin-
ger, Oakland, the latter being substitute
ed for Elmer Carson Conneway, who
was excused by the local board upon an
affidavit filed with that body by Mr..
Charles A. Ashby, in which the atfiant
stated that Conneway was engaged
continuously as farmer and had in
charge the large farm owned by Mr..
Ashby at Deer Park.
Bittinger volunteered to go in place
of Conneway and another Young man
who was here with the intention Of
joining the selects was greatly disap-
pointed that he was not permitted to go
in place of another drattee who report
ed quite late and whose arrival here in
time for the train was questionable as
he did not leave his home away down in
the county until after the noon hour
on Friday.
In the Republican last it appeared
that Roland G, Schoch, of Crellin, left
for Camp Meade with four other select
ed men, but owing to the fact that he

What John Tener
Says of Ban

Z CINCINNATI, July 22.-It is
the belief of President John K.
Tener of the National League
that if Ban johnson ever goes to
Europe during the war it will be
just as our victorious armies are
marching down the streets of
Berlin. Tener made this state
ment here in conjunction with his
announcement as to the work or
fight order.
81 remember when johnson was
sounding forth last fall in his in
tense desire to get into the
trenches and slaughter the Ger
mans" Tener said. There was
not a chance for him to be ac-
cepted," he continued, "and when
he was offered a commission in
a department of the service for
which he was fitted by training
and experience he refused to ac-
cept it. My opinion is that if
he ever goes to France it will be
Just as our victorious soldiers are
marching down the streets of
Berlin"
