ply for the regular operators or
chauffeur's license. This does not
mean that one who has an instruc-
ton license must necessarily wait
for thirty days before he can obtain
an operators or chauffeur's license,
but it does mean that within thirty
days he must make application for
the permanent license and demon
strate that he is qualified to operate
a motor vehicle. No person is now
licensed unless he first passes an eX-
animation. The old law did not con-
tain any penalty for failing to carry
a registration certificate issued with
the tags. Under the present law the
penalty is from $40 to 800 for fall
ing to carry the certificate of regis
tration, except in cases where the
provision is violated through mad
vertence. In such cases the mini
mum fine may be as low as 81. An
other important change made in the
new law is that requiring all motor
vehicles to come to full stop not
less than five feet from the rear OF
any street car headed in the same di-
rection which has stopped for the
purpose of taking on or dischargine
passengers. The minimum fine Tor
violating this provision is $40. This
provision is now in the State law for
the first time ard supersedes all 10
cal ordinances and regulations upon
the same subject
In order to compel the proper en-
forcement of the provisions dealing
with suspension and revocation OF
operators licenses. it is provided in
the new law that any person whose
license has been refused, suspended
or revoked and who operates mo-
tor vehicle shall be subject to a line
of not less than 500 nor more than
$1,000, or to imprisonment for not
less than thirty days or more than
one year, or to both fine and impris-
onment for the first offense
A minimum fine of SIS is provided
in the case of violations of the sec
ton requiring headlights and rear
lights. This penalty may seem severe
to some people, but when it is rea-
lized that lust such minor attractions
of the law may lead to the most Serl-
Gus consequences for the careless OPP
orator as well as for innocent pedes-
trians the necessity for such a pen
atty is apparent. 1t is so easy to
keep the lights on machine in prop
err condition that there is very little,
if any, excuse for not complying with
the law Many have thought that
the provision with regard to lights
was unimportant and that careless
ness and negligence with regard to
it's observance has led on numerous
occasions to serious injury and even
to death.
Many sections of the new law have
been made applicable both to the
owner as well as the operator. In
past years the chauffeurs have had
to suffer, when, in fact, the real off
enders were their employers. We
now nave the means to get at the
persons who are really responsible
for violations of the motor vehicle
laws, and the heavy penalties, in
Guiding fines which range up to
$1,000 for the first offense and to
Jail sentences, will, in my Judgment,
result in making the roads and high
ways of Maryland safe for everybody.

APART FROM REST OF WORLD
People Dwelling in High Valley of the
Indus Are Isolated, but Com
peteIy Satisfied.

In the high valley Of the Indus,
guarding the entrance to mysterious
Tibet, lies Leh the capital of an In
dian province, writes Niksah in Chi
cago Daily News. Leh is not haven
for tourists. Occasionally few trav-
elers with passion for adventure and
q lack of consideration for the COM
forts of home, work their way through
mountain passes and over rivers, on
caravan ponies and primitive RATS.
and at last reach Leh.
Usually the Journey IS taken for the
pleasure Of unconventional travel and
not for the purpose of visiting Leh, for
merely to view the town is hardly
worth the hardships Of the trip. If
you are an astronomer, however, you
look at the matter differently. The
meteorological observatory Of Leh is
the most elevated in Asia; and your
true lover of the stars will not balk
at the binding snow and scorching sun
which follow one another in such mad
dening succession in the Himalayas.
Devout Buddhists find congenial sur
roundings in Leh, for the neighborhood
is filed with 1amasseries, as the mon
asteries Of Tibetan Buddhists are
called. Over half the men are priests,
or fred coats" and spend their days
IN the worship of Buddha. Nowhere
else are there so many prayer wheels
endlessly revolving. On these wheels
are manuscripts bearing the inscrip-
ton, "Jewel in the lotus, Amen" writ
ten many times. AS the wheel turns,
the paper unwinds and the prayer is
considered said.
The people of this section know little
of outside affairs. They live at an al
titude of from 1900 to 10000 feet
above sea level, in the highest popu-
lated altitude in the world. If they de-
scend as low as 5000 feet, the unac-
customed atmosphere causes illness.
But they are happy in their isolation,
and view complacently the monoton-
Gus grandeur of the mountains, which
cut them off so effectually from the
rest Of the world

The Peace Overture

There is only one answer to the peace over
ture of the Central Powers-peace dictated by
the sword. When Germany is grovelling in de-
feat and is willing to sue for peace as did Bull
garia, then we can discuss peace with her. Until
then, redoubled efforts of our armies is our
watchword.
The PQtsdam gang never has kept faith. The
wreckage of broken treaties and of sacred prom
Uses ruthlessly and shamelessly violated have
characterized the history Of German diplomacy
in the last four years. If the Allies make peace,
It must be after Germany has been so soundly
defeated that we will have not only moral but
also absolute assurance that she will be unable
to do further damage. That is possible only if
her war machine is scrapped by the victorious
smashes of Marshal Foch's allied army.
We must not allow ourselves to become SYM
pathetic in this hour. The overtures of Germany
are not of a defeated nation, but of war leaders,
who, realizing that defeat is inevitable, yet seek
to save from the wreckage enough power to en-
able them to rehabiliate in short time the ma
chine that now is badly out Of repair We can
not let the kaiser and his war lords deceive us
in this hour. We hope that President Wilson's
answer will be short and to the point.
The kaiser is asking for peace in an hour
when his army is badly defeated on the field of
battle, leaving the inference that through diplo-
macy he is trying to stave off complete collapse
of his military strength. The appointment of
Max of Baden as chancellor now stands revealed
in its hypocrisy. The allied world wondered when
news of his appointment became public why the
kaiser should appoint man of his we'll known
liberal tendencies. The suspicion turks in all
our minds that Max of Baden's appointment was
made merely to enable the kaiser to make this
peace overture. After the Allies have been lured
into an armistice and the kaiser has been enabled
to restore his shattered battle line, Max of Baden
will be ousted as quickly as were Won Hertling
and Michaelis. So long as Germany has the
nucleus of gigantic army, she has weapon to
Jeopardize the future peace of the world Last
ing peace is possible only with the annihilation
