"An autocracy in the army
abroad, an aristocracy at home, a
lot of swivel chair heroes but not
a leader fit to face the problems
of reconstruction-tha what the
fracas over in Europe meant to
America"
Rock Island county soldiers and
sailors in their 18th annual re-
union at Prospect park this morn
ing gave silent assent to a gloomy
aftermath of the great war, pic
tured by their comrade, William
McConochie, former mayor of Rock
Island. 1.-The boys in blue who
fought the fight so years ago and
turned to after-war problems in
spired by the hOmely phrases Of
the greatest American, brought
from their own ranks men fit for
the highest executive position in
the nation, governors by the score
and congressman by the hundred"
declared Mr.. McConochie. We
created an autocracy over there in
our own army that put to shame
the decaying auOtcracy of centur-
les, it came from our own official
cIass-mostly the swivel class.
They didn't bring back a hero.

If the treaty failed, the presi-

Would Betray Soldiers.
Should there be important
changes in article 10, Mr.. Wilson
declared, he would feel like telling
those who served in the army that
he had not been able to keep his
promise to them that something
real would be done to prevent
further wars. He would do this,
said the president, Gin mortifica-

Our Big Celebration.

Tuesday, October 9TH, is the day ap-
pointed for the double purpose of hon
oring the dead and welcoming the re-
turned soldiers of Prince Georges coun-
ty in Marlboro. The Elk cutive Com
mittees are working hard to make II
one of the biggest celebrations our
town has ever had. The having of the
corner stone of the Memorial Drinking
Fountain in the Court House grounds,
will be attended by impressive cere-
monies and addresses by distinguished
speakers. A bountiful dinner is TO be
served the county boys on the lawn OF
the Marlboro House. One or more
bands will give plenty of music and the
town will be gay with flags and bunt-
ing.
AS the dinner committee will have to
devote all their efforts in providing for
several hundred soldiers, the public are
expected to bring their own lunches
and have an all day picnic.
A grand reunion of country people
and non resident sons and daughters OF
old Prince Georges, will make the day
doubly pleasant.

The Rev. Chas E Crusoe Rector of
the Episcopal Churches at Aquasco
and Baden who will hold his first SER
vices on Sunday September. 14th at the
usual hours.
The Rev. Chas E. Crueoe comes to
st. Paul's Parish at the unanimous
call of that vestry, following the re-
commentator of Bishop Harding of
Washington who selected DR.. Crusoe
from out quite list of prominent
clergymen who were recommended to
the vestry of that historic parish be
cause it was thought that he was pecu.
larly fitted to do an aggressive work in
that community,
At the time of his ordination Dr.
Crusoe was appointed Supt. of the
Missionary work in Eastern Ken
lucky, which territory covered II, 900
SO, miles. He was perhaps the young
est clergyman inthe American Church
holding such an important position.
While engaged in that work he secur-
ed funds with which to build pretty
little church beside ''June's Flower
Garden, of The Trail of Lonesome
Pine fame. This church had ito be
build in New York state and after
being carried as far as possible on the
train. it had to be hauled in njeces
over the mountains and erected on the
spot.
During his fifteen years in the sacred
ministry he has held several important
parishes in Baltimore and elsewhere.
and has quite reputation in the build
ing line; having built a number of
rectories and churches which will stand
him and his new parishioners in a fair
way, to make success of the beautiful
church soon to be erected at Aquasco.

The Tobacco Growers Association

During the past ten days District
Committees and the County Organizers
in all the Southern Maryland Counties
have been busy in connection with the
alton Membership Campaign. The
meetings held so far have without ex
ception proven the popularity of the
movement So far many hundreds of
contracts have been signed and sent in
to the Association headquarters and
preliminary survey shows conclusively
that the wind up Campaign will
show the Tobacco Growers pledged for
more than the required fifty per cert
of the tobacco grown in Southern
Maryland. Just how much more it is,
of course, impossible to say at this
time, however, a number of men who
are actively engaged in the Campaign
estimate that the Association will con-
troll 80 per cent of the tobacco grown
in Southern Maryland.
1t is urged by Association officials
that in the Districts where meetings
have already been held that the grow
ers who did not get signed up at the
meetings should, at once, get in touch
with a member of their Local District
Committee and sign up.
Many growers in Prince Georges
County have already signed up at the
meetings but any of those who have
not will have the privilege of doing so
either through the members of the To-
cal committee, as above suggested, or
the County Secretary, Mr.. Hill, at the
First National Bank of Southern Mary
land, Upper Marlboro. If any grower
happens to be in Marlboro it will only
take few minutes of his time to drop
in at the bank and sign his contract.
1t is pointed out that as manv growers
as possible should make a special eff
fort to sign the contract during the
next few days and thus save the As
ISOLATION the expense necessary for a
personal call upon the grower.

In answer to this question the Chair
men of the districts present, as well as
members of the Committees, voted to
guarantee the amounts and assured the
Commlree that the total amount tor

asked to advise the Executive Commit
tee at an early date of the progress made

mentS.
