Ti4hten The Line.

For some weeks past there has been
frequent cases of very disorderly conduct
in Thurmont about the square late in the
night. Generally those participating come
to town in automobiles, and are very
comfortably loaded with booze secured
presumably in Waynesboro.
Any variety of language is INDUCED in
and no respect is shown citizens who
wish to sleep and rest during the early
hours of the morning. The motor on
the car is left running. it is said for half
an hour or more, while the boys indulge
in foot races up and down the. street.
Last week load came to town and park
ed on E. Main Street. Next morning
two fancy long necked bottles were found
in front of Mrs. Jos. Martins home.
While the boys were there nobody could
sleep.
Waynesboro is about the cloest town
in which booze can be purchased. We
have heard it said that much of the stuff
is sent by trolley to Highfield for delive-
ry, The line should be tightened some
where either here or where booze is
secured and the rowdyism broken up.

Calls Draft Best Plan.

New York, Dec. l4.-'Taps" to
the volunteer system of raising armies
in war time by the United States was
sounded here tonight by Maj. Gen.
e. II. Crowder, in an address to the
retiring members Of 1S9 New York
draft boards. He earnestly advocat-
ed that the sclectiye service system
should become the permanent meth
cd of raising American armies in the
future. He declared that the selec-
tive service law enabled the Govern
ment in this war to register %, 14O,-
600 Americans, put into the field
nearly 5000, 900 fighters and to have
in readiness to entrain on Nov. llth
when the armistice was signed 1000,
600 more aoldiers, all within Is
months. 1t would be a calamity"
he said, for the United States TO re-
vert to the volunteer system in view
of such a successful test of selective
service, adding that American con-
scripts had shown the valor, aggrrs-
siveness and initiative of the most
seasoned troops.

5000 Indians In Service.

The American Indian, by enlist
ing in the army and navy, by sub
scribing literally to the Liberty Loans
by increasing the production of food
stuffs on Indian lands and by con-
tributions to relief agencies, greatly
aided the United States and the Allies
in winning the war, declared Cato
Sells Commissioner of Indian affairs.
Mr.. Sells said that out of 33, 900
eligible for military duty, more than
$500 Indians entered the army,
200 enlisted in the navy and 500
were in other war work. More than
5000 of the enlistments were volun-
tary. Liberty bonds were bought

DON'T STOP SAVING :"
CABLES HOOVER.

A year and half ago Herbert
Hoover said, 1--WE hold It In our power,
Ind ours alone, to keep the wolf from
the door of the world. This duty Is
wider than war-it is as wide as hui
nanity."
That appeal is just as vital now as 1t
was then, and Mr.. Hoover, after q week
IN Europe, cables that the food fight
must go on. 1t must go on with in
creased vigor, for let-up would mean
disaster to the nations just released
from Hun slavery who are clamoring
TO America for food. The invader has
gone from their lands, but hunger still
IS there and 1t will remain for many
months to come. They are looking to
us for food to sustain them, and we
cannot honorably fail to give it. Amer
lea must now think In terms Of world
need and world resources, and the lat
ter Of these must be made to equal the
former by voluntary American sacrifice.
The new conservation program calls
tor more discipline, more determine
lion, and more real perseverance, than
the former one did. 1t does not ask
tor brief, intensive sacrifices in this or
that commodity, but for continuous
and intensive saving in all foods and
an absolute elimination Of waste. 1t
would be easier, perhaps, to follow
specific direotions-the wheatless days
and meatless meals. The new program
calls for individual initiative and re-
sourcefulness, which, Is the spirit Of
democracy. The new program Is in
terms which only an intelligent people
sould execute--a people actuated by
world conscience.
The food army must remain In har-
aess until Herbert Hoover, its COM
nanderin-chief, says that 1t may be
officially mustered out, There can be
40 relaxation now, and there will be
zone, II every Marylander will just
eealize that each morsaI Of food which
10 wasted here ls Just so much taken
from someone over there,

No Soldier Put To Death.

Not single member of the AM
erican Army has been put to death
since the beginning Of the war be-
cause of the commission of purely
military offense, Major-General Crow
der, Judge Advocate General, declar-
ed in his annual report to Secretary
Baker. General Crowder said this
fact is the outstanding feature of his
report.
"Very few death sentences have
been imposed" he said, and none
of those imposed for purely military
offenses have been carried into execu-
tion."
Records of the Judge Advocate Gen
erals Office show that 12,357 officers
and men were brought before courts
martial, of whom 10,S73, or So per
cent, were convicted. More than
half the charge against officers were
listed under three heads; Absent
without leave, drunkcnr ess and con-
duct unbecoming an officer.
Convictions of enlisted men for de-
sertion were actually less than in the
previous year, although the army had
increased many fold.
The report shows that one enlisted
man was tried and convicted OF be-
ing a spy" and 773 men were con-
victed of sleeping on post.

WHY SUGAR RULES

w EhE hEMOVED.
In view Of the large number OF in
quiries as to the reasons for the re-
mOval Of restrictions upon the use Of
sugar the Food Administration has
Issued the following statement:
Since Its inception, the Administra-
tons policy has been to adjust It's con-
servation requests with conservation
necessities and the public has shown
Its appreciation Of this frankness by
Immediate response.
During the months Of July, August,
September, October and November this
year. the American people saved 775-
900 tons Of sugar over their normal
consumtion. This conservation, Of
course. includes the amount of sugar
saved by the restrictions placed on
confectionery and soft drink products
The Food Administration object In
asking for economy in the use Of sugar
was to ensure a supply that would
be adequate to meet the needs of the
Allies who would have to depend on
the same sources as the United States
70 long as the war lasted 1t was
necessary to take precautions 80 that
there would be a certainty Of sufficient
sugar through the year. With the
signing Of the armistice the situation
was Immediately changed AS soon az
the armistice made a change in our
sugar program possible the restrictions
we're lifted.
While 1t 10 true that some states are
kstill lacking plentiful supply Of
sugar, N Is also fact that with the
ICuban crop almost upon us, we have
large surplus Of western beet sugar
land Louisiana cane sugar and 1t 10
permissible to return to the normal
use Of sugar where It is available. 1t
Is great relief to the Food Admin
lstration to feel that no extraordinary
sacrifice In the use of sugar is re-
Quired Of our people until further no
tice, though economy IL still urged.
