GETTING ONES OWN WAY.

Getting your own way is one of
the easiest things in the world, but
whethersit pays or not, depends on
the manner in which you obtain it.
Some people get it by bad temper.
All of elis' know number of cases in
which one member of the household
rules the others by virtue of an ill
humor always ready to break out at
the least provocation. And because
human nature instinctively takes the
line of least resistance, most families
are ready to submit to tyranny rather
than have the household peace over
turned every few days. Getting your
own way by such means is not worth
while.
You can have your own way if you
want to enough, but it is pity to
purchase it at the cost of your friends
respect and affection 1t is a pity to
rule as a termagant or to get your
way along with the plying contempt
of your acquaintance, by crying like
a spoiled child whenever your will is

vision, wherever there is the slightest
suspicion. This will cease for the ma
lions when the-war is over. But, vigi-
lance can never be abandoned by the
Church, for the war against 1t never
ends. It comes from known and un-
known sources, from hidden. design
and confessed hostility, from wicked
men and the powers of darkness.
Hence, its censorship can never re-
lax
If in particular cases the law should
work a hardship, relief can easily be
had. But the hardship it is accused
of working is, in the main, imaginary
it is the hardship that comes to
'jejune" intellects that have allowed
prurient curiosity to work them up to
impatient desire. Sometimes it is even
worse than this.

activity were due to the nature of the
peoples and civilizations, and to the
political, social, economic and re-
igious conditions in which she
worked that the instances of heroic
charity which stand to her credit sur
pass by an Unreasonable distance any
instance of that class outside her
fold; that the individual gifts to
charity which she has inspired are
likewise supereminent, and that if she
! mad been permitted to reorganize and
develop her charities without the in
reference of the Reformation, the
amount of social distress and social
injustice as well, would be much
smaller today e#
The organized charity of the Church
has supplied every personal and social
need Of every class of the community.
1t has included the ministration of
the deacor1s, the hospitals of the time
of the Bebuines, the burial of the
| dead by the Alexian Brothers, the
ransoming of the captives by the
Trinitarians, the agricultural reforms
by the Trappists, even the bridge
building and the road making for
travellers by the Fratres Pontifices
and the Monies Pietatis of the Fran
ciscans and the others, to say nothing
of the charitable and social work eff
fected by the Guilds under the inf1u-
ence Of the Church.
Another reason why social and
charitable work is incumbent on Cath
olics is indicated by Pope Leo XIII
in the same Encyclical where he
quotes ST. Thomas to the effect that
use of certain bodily and external
commodities is necessary to virtuous
action. Poverty voluntarily chosen or
accepted for the love of God may be
blessing: but there is a grinding
restitution which works out, as a rule,
disastrously to morality and religion.
Examples of this are all about Ass

JOS. N. ARMSTRONG
WORKING OUT PLAN
FOR COAL SUPPLY
President Of National League Of
Government Employers
Pledges Help
TO RELIEVE ACUTE
COAL. SITUATION
Wants More Coal Shipped Here
That Employees At Academy
May Not Suffer Again

Realizing that the coal situation in
Annapolis promises to be as acute the
coming winter as il was last when
employees at the Naval Academy suf-
fered and their families were sick be-
cause of the intensely cold weather
and no fuel in the cellar to keep warm,
MIR. Joseph NJ. Armstrong. president
of the National League of Government
Employees, has been busily engaged
devising plans for remedy and relief.
Mr.. Armstrong has been studying the
question for some time, of which the
solution is not easy. He has conferred
with both civil and military authori-
ties relative TO the matter, and with
the local Fuel Administrator.
In an interview today with Capital
representative. Mr. Armstrong said:
ut was on October 10 at the earnest
solicitation of a large percentage of
the employees of the U. s. Naval Acad-
emy that l took up the question of
securing coal for them. With that idea
in mind ! made out blanks and had
them distributed to the employees of
the Academy with the object in view,
that we might intelligently know how
much coal had been received by the
employees of the Naval Academy, and
how much was required to supply
them through the winter, and last, but
not least, that those who had received
no coal during the summer and were
without coal at the present time
should obtain it. 1t never was, nor is
it now, the intention to appeal to Ad-
miral Eberle to supply us with coal
from the Academy, but TO devise a
just and equitable plan whereby all
shall have a fair chance to get some
coal before winter weather sets in.
1T is not my purpose in this move
men to criticise or place the blame on
any one but rather to help establish a
system whereby a better, more sys-
tematic and just plan can be made in
the distribution of coal With these
things in view / have proceeded. My
first step was to consult with the au-
thorities at the Academy. Second, /
took the matter up with the local
Fuel Administrator, Mr. Chas. f. Lee,
who very kindly arranged joint con-
ference with Mr.. Dix, examiner for
this district; Mayor James f. Strange
and myself II was fully agreed by all
present that a different METHOD
MUST be pursued in distributing coal
and that more coal must be obtained
promptly for Annapolis.
"He also had a conference with Ad-
miral Eberle. Superintendent of the
Naval Academy and Commander A. S.
Kibbee, officer in charge of buildings
and grounds, and were assured they
would lend every aid in securing more
coal for Annapolis, leaving the proper
distribution of the same to the local
fuel administrator and the coal deal
/ ers in Annapolis.
"It should be borne in mind that the
| NEEDY should be taken care OF first.

The site of the building was select

FORMER TOWNSMEN
NOW HIGH OFFICERS
Col. Brewer And Lieut.-Col.
Fisher, Head 72nd Infantry,
Now Training At Meade
INTERESTING REUNION

The Army of the United States has
"Maryland's Own" regiments in the
18TH Infantry and the 11eth Artillery.
and there is a 'Baltin1o ores Own" in
the 3l2th Infantry, which organized
and trained at Camp Meade, but the
72nd Infantry, in view of the fact that
its two highest ranking officers are
Annapolitans. comes closer to being
Annapolis Own" than any other.
It's commanding officer is Col
Thomas l.. Brewer, son of the late
State Senator Nicholas Brewer, of this
city, and now Lieut.-Col r. Earle
Fisher has been assigned to the lieu
tenant-colonelcy of that organization.
Lieut.-Col Fisher, who married Miss
Nellie Gassaway, of this city, has late
ly been on duty at Waco. Texas.
OF special interest in connection
with the association of those two Off
GERS in the 72nd Infantry is the fact
that both have held the position of
Assistant Librarian at the State Lii
brary here. Lieut.-Col. Fisher came to
Annapolis from his home, Denton,
Caroline county, with Col Luther H.
Gadd, when the later assumed the
duties of State Librarian under Gov
John Walter Smith. When Governor
Lowndes succeeded Governor Smith,
Mrs. Anna Burton Jeffers was appoint
ed Librarian, and she designated Col.
Brewer as her assistant. Under the
circumstances, the present relation of
the two officers is very interesting.
Both entered the service at the out
break of the Spanish h-American War.
Col. Brewer enlisted as private in
Company A, of the First Maryland In
fantry, going TO the State camp at
Pimlico with a detachment from this
city. He was promoted to quarter
master-sergeant, and then TO second
lieutenant. Soon after the muster out
of the regiment, he was commissioned
in the Regular Army, served in the
Philippines. and has been steadily go
ing up the rungs of the service ladder
since. Lieut-Col. Fisher enlisted in
Company NJ of the Fifth Regiment, and
was commissioned shortly after the
war. He has had much service on the
Border, and also was commandant at
st. Johns, this city, for term.
The 72nd Infantry is a Regular
Army Organization, and is now being
mobilized and trained at Camp Meade
for overseas duty.

WRITES FROM FRANCE
Richard Waller, Tells Of And IL

From Sammy's Standpoint
BOMBARDED AND GASSED

Richard j, Waller. son of R. Lee
Waller, of the Office of the Clerk of the
Court of Appeals, lived here with his
parents for many years. He is now
with the 40th Engineers (Camoufiage),
in France, where he is using his not
able talent in that interesting and val
liable work, product. at least in its
present perfection, of the present war.
He has written a very interesting let
ter of his recent experiences, and sent
some splendidly executed drawings,
which are here reproduced.
Extracts from the letter follow:
You know where we drove. and just
about how far we have gone so far,
started out with the heavy guns,

and was then sent on ahead with the
light guns. l could never describe it.
The great guns moving up pulled by
caterpillar tractors, trucks plowing
along deep in mud, thousands of
trucks, wagons, planes, etc. The roads
were massed, and coming back were
thousands of prisoners, muddy, ragged
and tired. You certainly had to laugh
to see some American kid bringing
back about fifty HUNS, with such a
eockey air, and you can imagine what
ne was saying to them. There were
thousands of them. Officers, soldiers,
horses and guns.

through the back area. For miles
there stretched before us a sea of wire
entanglements, dug-outs, trenches,

There was not yard of earth that
had not been hit by shells. The bar
rage was so fierce as to literally tear
the earth UP. 1t was raining when we
crossed this sector, and the mud was
over my shoe tops, and was carrying
pack. 1t took long time to make a
mile. We ''bummed" eats from the

one, but this much can be said with
the absolute confidence that the state
ment is accurate: a distinct improve
ment of the conditions on account of
which the ordinance was drawn and
passed was noticeable from the very
first.
Thanks TO the publication of the or
6inance in the Capital, as requested
by Mayor Strange the public was COM
pletely informed of its details and the
fact that it would be put in execution.
From all sides, come statements that
the children who had been careless
about their hours, made arrangements
, to get TO their homes so as not to vio-
late the new municipal law This is
stated on both official and private au-
thority.
Mayor Strange took occasion to OBJ
serve personally the execution of the
ordinance during the first night of its
GAGINtNCuCSS. IlC was AAhNA BANGGNN
with the result He said that the diff
ference as to children on the streets
was most noticeable. Along this line,
the Mayor called attention to the ne
cessity of the cooperation of parents.
He pointed out that the ordinance puts
the responsibility up to them, in the
main, and that parents who do not do

cannot control their children will not
be able to deny that they are incof-
rigible. and defeat their committing to
institutions.
The Mayor has been besieged by
children who think it a hardship that
there is to be no masking or blacken-
ing up on Halloween. However, it is
generally felt that the stand of the
authorities is wise This Disgusting
has been the cover of much ruffianism
and vandalism on previous occasions,
and the children will have to content
themselves with "dressing-up," and
must remember to be home by nine
this year.
In order to impress the require
ments of the law upon parents and
children, the main points are re-
repeated.
Boys under fourteen and girls un-
der sixteen must be in their homes by
nine.
Children and parents may be pun

No masking or blackening-up on
