To Protect the Fish.

The Washington County Fish and
Game Protective Association has been
organized in Hagerstown, and already
numbers among its members about
seventy-fve leading sportsmen of Ha-
gerStown and other sections OF the
county. There is good deal OF en-
thusiasm among the members, and they
are anxious to have the cooperation
of West Virginia fishermen and others
who are interested in fishing and hunt
ing. The editor of the Register at
tended a meeting of the association Fri
day night, and found the members en-
Enthusiastically in earnest in their de-
sire to restock the Potomac river and
other streams with game fish and then
to protect them from those who would
take them illegally. Already many
thousands of bass and sunfish have
been placed in the streams, and this
summer it is planned to put in the Po-
tomac an enormous number OF bass,
sunfsh, yellow suckers and other fish
that will naturally thrive in these
waters. The association wants to en-
roll at least hundred and fifty men,
bers, and the people on the Virginia
side of the Potomac are cordially in
vited to join. The membership fee is
two dollars year.
incidentally we feel like warning
those who are in the habit Of fishing
out of season that II will be well to
desist, for the Potomac is to be patroll-
ed between Weverton and Hancock BY
Maryland wardens who are instruct
ed to arrest all persons violating the
law. 1t is strictly forbidden to fish for
bass or other game fish before the first
of June, and it is also against the law
to fish on Sunday.

NOTES OF OUR SOLDIERS.

Rev. and Mrs. j. S, Ware were made
happy on Monday by the receipt OF a
telegram from their son, Kennard
Ware, announcing that he had arrived in
New York early the same dag. After
the usual details at Camp Dix he will
come home-probably in few days
now. Mr. Ware, who was in the am
bulance corps, was in France for more
than year, and rendered faithful SER
vice in this branch of the army. He
had an interesting experience recently
in Italy, where he was enjoying a two
weeks leave. In the hurry of catching
train for Rome he forgot his pass
ports and other papers, and when he
was unable in Rome to present his
credentials to the authorities he was
promptly clapped in Jail, despite all
protests and influence. He was kept
in prison for three days, except for the
time he was taken out to work in the
chain-gang, and he was getting con-
siderably peeved when his papers final
ly arrived and brought about his re-
lease.
Wardell Mcdonald, who recently re-
turned from France, is home from
Camp Sherman, Ohio, on a ten-days
furlough. Private Mcdonald has the
distinction OF being the only Shep-
herdStown man who was wounded dur
ing the great war He was struck by
fragment of shrapnel while fight
ing in the Argonne Forest, and was
wounded in both legs. His injuries
were long time healing, but he is
practically well now. He will be dis
charged from the service in short
time, it is expected.
Sergeant-Major VIM. A. Morgan ar
rived at his home near Shepherdstown
Tuesday evening, after having been
honorably discharged at Camp Meade.
Sergeant Morgan did his bit in France
as a member of the 37th Engineers,
having been attached to regimental
headquarters. He had many interest,"
ing experiences, but like all the other
American boys he is glad to be back
in the good old u. S. A. He is looking
unusually we'll after his army life.
Daniel Stubs, orc of the colored
soldiers from Shepherdstown still in
France, sent his wife, Mrs. Blanche
Stubs, two very interesting relics of
the war this week One was the real
thing in the way of German officers
helmet and the other was big and
much adorned German pipe. The
helmet is a fine one and had evidently
been in use for some time. Dan writes
that he expects to get home before very
long.
Sergeant Karl E. Hilt who has been
in the service of Uncle Sam since last
summer, got his honorable discharge
the first of the week, and returned to
his home in Shepherdstown on Tues
day. He has recently been located at
Camp Holabird, near Baltimore, where
he was in the Motor Transport service.
Mr.. Walter E. Herr, of the U. S.
Navy, who is stationed at Annapolis,
Md, was fortunate enough to get
furlough for the Easter holiday and
came home to spend a few days at his
old home. 1t was his FIRST visit home
since he enlisted in the Navy last year.
R. D. Shipley, who was among the
first of our Shepherdstown boys to
enlist in the army, is back in the U. S.
A., having landed in Boston last Fri
day. He is expected home now at any
time.

New Schedule On B. & O. Railroad.

A new schedule for passenger trains
went into effect on the B. & o. Rail-
road last Sunday, and trains will stop
at Shenandoah Junction as follows:
-bound-No. 4, sci a. M; No.
10, SAB a. m; No. 81, 9.3l a. M; No. 6,
24l p. m, stops on signal; No. "a,
6.37 p. m; No. Is, S.34 p. m.
West-bound-No. II, 1925 a. m. !;
No. 3, 2.20 a. M; No. 80, 7.25 a. m. {;
No. Is, lila a. m; No. 81, 4.57 p. m.
1t will be noticed that No. |, the fast
train from New York to St. Louis, will
not stop hereafter at Shenandoah juno
tion-indeed, it will make no stop be-
tween Washington and Martinsburg.
Passengers for this section and for
the connection with the Norfolk &
Western evening train south bound
will have TO come on No. 81, due at
the Junction at 457, a train doing the
local work between Washington and
Cumberland. Just what particular
form of stupidity impels the B. & O. of
ficials to deprive our people of the use
of their most popular and con-
venient train we cannot understand
NO. mas Tor many years peeH our pSsl
train from New York, Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington to the con-
nections southwark on both the Valley
Branch and the Norfolk & Western
Railway, at Harper's Ferry and
Shenandoah Junction, respectively,
and it is outrageous that such import
ant service should be taken from the
people. The B. & o. officials commit
this offense every now and then, and
always they have to restore the train
in obedience to the demand of the
travelling public. We have no doubt
that vigorous protests will again be
made, and if the Railroad Administra-
ton has any consideration for public
opinion and public convenience it will
restore these stops at Harper's Ferry
and Shenandoah Junction.

Carlisle Boy to Start Big
Ring Show Friday Night

Jerry Glass, of Carlisle and X. o.
Casey. of Harrisburg, are to be the
principals in the opening preliminary
at the Harrisburg Boxing Associa-
ton show in the Chestnut street Au-
ditorium Friday night. THESE TWO
lads have never met before, ana re-
ports would indicate that they are

ance of programs under the djrec-

MISS CROSMAN
IN NEW PLAY
Critical Moment Saved by
Talent of Star; Disap-
pointing in Theme

Henrietta Crosman is as charming
worthy of mention, and certainly not
worthy of the ever-welcome Miss
Crosman. Tine Critical Moment" Il
triangle" play by Stanley Dark and
Eva Dennison, is very disappointing,
and even Miss Crosman's wonderful
acting could not get it over too well
at the Orpheum last evening, when
l. was playearto a handful of people.
1t will be presented again this eve
ming.
To those who have seen her in her
previous success, when she has been
surrounded by a more possible cast,
and shared the triumphs with such
stars as William Faversham and
Charles Cherry, as she did in Shaw's
Getting Married" the play of last
evening was even more than disap-
ing. Whoever urged it upon Miss
CTosman was certainly guilty of a
supreme lack of judgment.
As Rhoda Callighan the friend who
tnes to avert the threatened break
in the home. and goes so far in her
friendship that she jeopardizes her
own reputation and future happiness,
Miss Crosman was her old self, witty,
keen, ever alive TO battle. and per-
petually seeking to aid her friend.
In her supporting cast Harry Burll-
hardt. as the faithful friend and lover
Of Rhoda, Edward Darney, as the
wrong angle of the triangle. and Ell
wyn Harvey as the girl who is try
ing TO force the break, were quite
good. The rest of the cast was also
present.
