Christmas and Winter Appeal

From almost every quarter of the
| globe today comes the cry of suffer-
ing men, women and children for
help. You, as a Christian and loyal
citizen, have bravely struggled to
stand up under the demands made
upon you-upen your generosity,
your patience and your ultimate
ability to give. 1t would seem shat,
with the multiplicity of appeals to
which you have lent, and doubtless
must still lend, your ear, there is not
a possibility of taking on more bur-
| dens-of extending more help to
anyone-and yet, above all the din
| and cutlery from an outraged humani
! ty across the seas, there goes up in
eyer-increasing volume and serious
emphasis the heart-rending appeal of
our own poor and helpless-our own
hungry, and aged, and crippled, and
!sickly-our own babies of the poor,
who, wayering between life and
death because of lack of milk in all
seasons, of warmth in winter and of
ice in summer, droop and pass out.
To the lot of the Salvation Army
falls, in great, measure, the RESPONSE
bility for these helpless ones at
home, all piled up on top of a stag
gering responsibility along the bat
tie fronts of war-torn Europe, where
| Ca11 i- init inin q
work of relief with which you must
be more or less familiar.
We ask you under such circum-
stances to help-to contribute your
mite, even in the face of the very
trying circumstances we have named.
We do not ask for the Salvation Ar
my. We ask for the motherless
children Of men fighting for Liberty
in France; for the saddened old
lives that are slowly and painfully
burning out; for the little children
of the back streets and cutters; the
waits and rag-tag of the slums; all
of them as human as any of US, and
none of them with even one chance
for survival, unless it shall come to
them through your own willingness
to sacrifice, and to give, give, give,
until there is nothing left to give.
In these stressful times we must
not forget that it is the spiritual side
of our lives that must be faithfully
and earnestly looked after. il a right
foundation is to be maintained for
War Relief and other humane under
takings at home and abroad. It
must be remembered, too, that our
spiritual work, as well as our work
| of relief for the needy at home must
| be redoubled in dark hours like the
present. Hence the urgency of this
appeal. Our general funds are in a
state of exhaustion, and it is of the
highest Importance that the Saliva
ton Army be sustained. Your gen.
erous response will be highly appre-
ciated.

GAME WARDEN LeCOMPTE

Receipts of $59,O44.2O Were Receiv-

Added $4,000 More to The Account

The report Of L. Lee LeCompte.
State Game Warden for the six mon
tbs from June /, 1918, to Dec t..
1918, is an exceptionally good one
1t shows that during this time there
were net revenues from Hunters Ii
censes amounting to SIS, 044.20, and
that to this sum there was received
from prosecutions for violations of
! the State Game laws the sum of ST.
| 500. There We're issued during this
! period, 35,57 resident hunters Ii
censes at 81 each; 2,SO5 resident
State licenses at IS each, and I'll
non-residence hunting licenses, at
! SO each.
| The department has prosecuted
| 149 cases and lost only Is, and has
| on the appeal docket 1 cases. Dis
/ trict Deputy James Temple, for Dis
trict No. :, which embraces Dorches-
| ter, Talbot and Caroline counties,
leads the list OF deputies in the num-
Der Of arrests and prosecutions, hay
ing made 81 arrests and secured Is
lconvictions
There were more arrests in this
county than ever before, and Dor
chester has issued more licenses than
at any time since the licensing was
started several years ago, the num-
Der issued to December 1st being l.
sos county resident licenses, 80
Statewide licenses, and 10 non-resi-
dent licenses, making a total revenue
Of 81 2S net. This is about $500
more than has ever been received in
the county before in any one year
Baltimore county, under the local
system formerly received about S.
600 annually; this year their receipts
up to Dec. LIST were $7,204S0, and
will likely be $500 before the end
Of the year
The Conservation Commission has
distributed in the State nearly four
hundred million fish for propagation
purposes, and Of this number Dor
chester county has received $780,
000 yellow perch, 6,S9O,O00 white
perch, 1882, 500 shad, 5000 black
bass, 1900 Mississippi catfish, 600
Graphic, making a total of $685.
900 fish liberated in the water of
the county during the season of 1918.
Through the enactment of the Hun
ters' License System in Maryland, the
Game and Fish Department has be-
come one of the most valuable and
important departments in the State,
as the revenue received from licen-
ses goes toward game and fish pro-
lection and propa cation entirely. The
Department has placed orders for
10000 Bob White quail and 1000
cotton-tail rabbits, which Will be dis
tributed throughout the State next
March.
The Department requests the hear
ty cooperation Of the public of Mary
land in helping enforce the game and
fish laws, and if the department re-
ceive such support as they deserve,
you will soon begin to realize the
great benefit the public has received
from their cooperation. Give the
small game and fish protection when
they need it, and they, like the hui
man family, will soon grow to be-
come of value to the public, but if
the public is allowed to catch and
destroy the small fish, animals and
birds, they can never become of
benefit for food purposes
