County DefieS Tax Order.

The Commissioners of Frederick county
have voted to refuse to comply with the
order of the State Tax Department to
reassess all properties in this county that
have changed hands since January !,
1918. This action was taken upon the
advice of Attorney to the Commissioners
Reno S. Harp. At conference in Bal
timore last week between the Com
missioners and their attorney and the
State Tax Commission the County Com
missioners were given until Monday of
this week to proceed with the new re-
assessme.. After deciding not to COM
ply with the instructions from the Tax
Department the Commissioners address,
ed letter 10 the Tax Commission set
ting forth reasons why the order was
not obeyed.
1t is expected that legal action will BE-
taken which will bring clash between
the state and county officials. The
County Commissioners have fortifi ed
themselves with argume ITS and declare
they will fight the State Tax Dep plrtm ent
in Court to a finish 1t is understood
that about 800 properties are due for a
reassessment under plan of the State
Tax Department. The order of the Tax
Commission is TO tax properties that
have changed hands since January l,
1917 to their sales value. In some in
stances this would increase the present
assessment so per cent.

Palmerston, former Premier of Eng.
land. There are 5000 acres in the estate.
Forty-five of our officers were invited to
tea. Col. and Mrs. Ashley were charm
ing and hospitable.
Our next camp was near Hursley.
While there became acquainted with
the Vicar. an interesting character.
Hursley was the home of Cromwell at
one time. The village church records
contain the records of the baptism of his
children.
During our stay at Hursley we had the
opportunity of making several visits to
Winchester, the old capital of England.
There we saw the old cathedral erected
in the 10th century where the remains of
some of the early English rulers are in
TERED. We saw the chair on which
Queen Mary sat while being married to
Philip of Spain. We also visited the
castle where according to tradition King
Arthur and his knights held forth at the
Round Table.
From Hursley we marched to South
ampton where we embarked for our night
trip across the English channel. The
next morning found US docked at LaHavre
France. We were to spend one night at
a camp outside this city and then pro-
ceed to the training area.
While marching through the city on our
way out to camp we were halted for a
few minutes. Then the Mayor of the
city made short address of welcome
and little girl dressed in white present.

ing officer
When we reached camp we were in
formed that we might expect an air raid
that night. The Huns had been coming
about once a week and they were again
due. However, to the disappointment
of most of our boys who were anxious to
see what such raid would be like. they
failed to come.
The next evening we entrained for a
twenty four hour trip. We passed through
Rouen where Joan of Arc was imprison-
ed, tried and burned to death. Our des-
tination was the vicinity of Algers. Late
Sunday afternoon we left the train ard
had five mile hike over dusty roads to
the villages where our regiment was to
be billeted. The regiment was divided
and billeted in four villages, St. Sylvan
Pellouailles, La Plessis and Framelon.
Here our real work of preparation be-
gan. Some of our officers and enlisted
men were sent away to school-artillery,
tractor, radio, mechanical, gas, camou-
flage and maching gun. 1t was not long

Was Something Else.

United States quartermasters putting
up game on the rest of the Army?
Impossible! But they did.
A while ago there was An epidemic of
generalgun ness among th tvpewriters
of the Fifth Service Park Unit and a
requisition was put into the Q M. for
typewriter oil. In the course of time
there arrived number of small bottles
containing fluid that looked like oil,
smelled like oil, and felt like oil. There
fore it was oil figured the typists. They
applied it as oil should be applied.
But it didn't act like oil. In the morn
ing it required a sledge hammer to move
the typewriter carriage and jimmy to
lift the keys. The mechanics tried and
confessed their incapability. And the
typewriters wouldn't be running yet if
a master hospital sergeant, who is so
ignorant of mechanics that he doesn't
know how many wheels there are on a
wheelbarrow, hadn't happer ed by.
The stuff had been discovered in a
German store dump and it wasn't oil at
all. 1t was form of new-skin.
But it was dandy new-skin. Stars and

A YEAR AS AN
army CHAPLAIN.
Preparing To Leave U. S
And Journey Across
Atlantic.

We were given a rousing reception as
we entered the harbor of Liverpool by
the bathers that thronged Brighton Beach
on our right and by passengers on the
ferries that were playing back and forth.
The American flag was flying from near
ly every building 1t seemed almost that
we were approaching an American port.
Everyone was in excellent spirits. Late
in the afternoon we Gcckfd and it was
not long before we we've on our way to
"Rest"() camp.
We marched through Liverpool on out
to Knotty Ash about five miles from the
city. The civilians cheered US heartily
all along the route and the street urchins
sang, Hail, Hail, the Yanks are here.
ETC." We were imp'e essed with the
scarcity of able bodied men among the
English civilians. After four years OF
war there were very few left at home.
1t was not long march to Knotty Ash
but having spent two weeks in cramped
quarters on transport we were not IN
the best condition for hiking. So i'm
mediately after eating the ration that
had been supplied US before leaving the
boat we turned IN. Our hunks were not
the best but we were not disposed to be
highly critical that night. We hoped
that we might remain at this camp for
several days to do nothing much but
"bunk fatigue" The next day we en-
trained for Romsey in the south of Eng
land.
We travelled on the Midland Railway
passing through Birmingham, Swinton
Road, and Andover Junction arriving at
Romsey about TO- 80 p. m. This time we
had only short hike out to camp. We
spent several days at this camp. While
there l visited an old abbey built nearly
a thousand years ago. 1t is famed for
its Norman Arches, it's tapestries and
mosaics. Another delightful experience
was a visit to the estate of Col. Winfred
Ashley. The house was built by Lord

How worship God. and harbor in the
heart
Hate Of Gods members tfor all men

Too long our souls have sat,
Like poor blind beggars, at the door
of God.
He never made beggar-we are
kings!
Let US rise up, for it is time we trod
The mountin tops; time that we
did the things
We have so long asked God to do.
He waits for you
To look deep in your brothers eyes and
The God within;
To hear you say: 10. thou art He.
Lo, thou art He!"
This is the only way to end all sin
The difficult, one way.

A deed without a prayer is a bow
string without an arrow
The heart of man should be like
a culver full of arrows,
And the hand of a man should be like
a strong bow strung for action.
The heart of man should keep his
arrows ever ascending,
And the hand and mind of a man
should keep at a work an end

Ecce Hobo! Harry Kemp and His Light Love Lyrics

Of Q wanderer in his day, but essentially
an aristocratic Yastrel, with his bathing
tub strapped to his back and his thermos
bottle packed next to hts portable electric
radiator. He reviews Harry's life in
China, London, Greenwich Village, on the
Great Lakes, in Youngstown, Ohio, where he
left the Pennsylvania Dutch Nirvana that
had been harboring him for an eternity,
and got born. He even wandered into FL

not leaving any epigrams behind Harry
is short on epigrams) was probably Or
dered to move on by the absorptive Fra,
who endowed all poets with a fountain
pen and tieket-of-leave.
As Mr.. lie Galiehne points out, it is
curious that no one can ever find anything
of the tramp in Harry Kemp's poetry.
There is none of Richard Hovey's or Bliss
Carman's Vagabondia in his pages. 1t is
all as prim as the wording of the Eigh-
tenth Amendment, as carefully ruled off
as your income tax blank, as respectable
as a householder butterfly. A most re-
markable case of double personality.
To know Harry Kemp the man is to
know something tremendously vital. He
has mental and physical avoirdupois. He
breathes like Thor, trumpets like Bryan,
waves the leaden wand of his thought over
the vastly deeps of mint 1uleps. where the
2:75 inspiration covers, and uses heavy
stave on free verse idiots like myself.
Most lovable of men, with the pose that
