here believe, Germany would have Of

The Germans calculated their ma

since America vitally needed their ton

troops and hoped this would influence
the American representatives to sup

food engagement. Another conplica-

| Annapolitans who failed 10 attend
the Red Cross mass-meeting in the Re

missed a fine opportunity of hearing
expounded the stupendous amount Of
work that was accomplished by the
American Red Cross during the world
war, and the still greater problems
that now confront it in acvities for
of the future both at home and abroad
The speaker of the occasion was the
Rev. T. E. Green, D. D., chief of the
bureau Of speakers of Red Cross ma
tional headquarters in Washington
who first of all impressed upon his
audience in no uncertain way that the
greatest mistake that is being made
today by the people of the country
today, is declaring and believing that
the war is over" DR.. Green declared
with emphasis that a more intricate
and dangerous situation is yet to come.
Yes, war is over in way" but he
said conditions that exist ut present
are but one lap that confronts the Red
Cross organization. Dr. Green drew
wonderful and touching word picture
of the heroic work that had been done
by the Red Cross workers, their as
sistance lent on the battlefields and in
base hospital, and those at home in
the making of bandages, garments,
etc" And then the speaker added
that the pinch of the Red Cross work
for the future must be along an entire
~ different line-tLat is home service
and activities along other lines.
More history came with Z sign
ing of the armfstice than during the
whole period of the war" tie speaker
declared, "anl there are now 10000
problems to solve in an effort TO bring
about settlement "f the conditions of
unrest that now prevail" pr. Green
said we went into the war under alb
normal conditions; that we stayed in
it under abnormal: conditions, and
came o;.t Of it under abnormal condi-
tions, ana greater abnormality exists
righrt now But all this must now
be passed over. he said. He said that
nearly IL months have elapsed since
one actual agreement has been made
as to the League of Nations. and then
he recounted instances OF the several
countries who are parties TO this agree
ment, and disputes that have arisen
from time to time.
DR.. Green said that we did not want
to get into the war but were forced
TO it, and we fought for peace and
democracy. And against referring to
the Red Cross, he said it is the great

The meeting advertised for all gov
eminent employees at the Odd Fell
lows Hall this evening is in the inter
est Of all employees. whether they are
members of the National League Of
Government Employees or not. 1t is
understood that the new organization
TO be formed is to have sick and death
benefit features Plans are being
worked out very carefully by COM
mittee of employees. 1t Will also have
the protective and cooperative fea-
lures of the best labor organizations.
In the past the Naval Academy's
Employees organization has done
much effective work by placing before
the proper authorities the needs of the
academy and its employees.
Unlike many labor organizations in
the industrial world where employer
and employee are concerned, the naval
officers here have, in the past always
shown a spirit of just consideration in
dealing with all problems affecting the
welfare of the employees. II is under
that the new organization will
not affiliate with any national labor
organization, but will be independent
However. it will cooperate with any
other labor organization in having
proper laws enacted for government
employees, in fact. and the employees

Unlike many labor organizations,
where employers employ. there has
been quite a degree OF interest mani
fest for its success by the officers in

The whole community, and is

" ~ those whom III pur-
ports 10 serve. 1t is in the
form of a circular attacking
Mr.. Richie, the Democratic
nominee for Governor, by at
tempting TO inject religious
bigotry into political affairs.
This circular is being assidi-
ously distributed by certain
irresponsible elements within
the Republican party in this
county, who ly oral effort seek
TO fan the fame of religious
strife contained in the circu
lar. The people of this COM
munity. irrespective of sect or
denomination or politics, de-
nounce this snake in the
grass method of campaigning
and recognize it as the most
sinister kind OF the many UNI
holy and un-American in
iuences now abroad in the
land
Fortunately, the editorial in
the Baltimore Catholic Review
of the issue Of November l.
1919, comes just in time. 1t
first describes and then
"squelches' this canard and
the words of the editorial are
so appropriate and clear that
we reprint The following from
it:
Mr.. Richie is accused of
having on a certain occasion
perpetrated a joke at the ex-
pense of priestly integrity and
the virtue of nuns. Imme-
diately an enemy arrives at the
conclusion that the only thing
necessary to accomplish his
defeat is to publish extrava-
gantly an account of the Incl
dent. Every Catholic, he sur
misses, who votes the Demo-
cratic ticket will arise in his
wrath for vengeance at the
polls.
Let us hope that no Cath
Ollie who intended to vote for
MIR. Richie will be so blind as
to he influenced by this circu-
lar sent out at the end of the
campaign. Whether or not the
Democratic nominee for Gov
ernor told the joke which is
ascribed to him counts for
nothing now. We are not adj
vocating his election. But we
do want to say that both in
word and act Mr.. Richie has
been unfaiiingly kind and gra-
cious to Catholics in general
and, in particular, to priests
and nuns. If elected he is
man enough to give us
square deal. We ask no more.
1T would be interesting to
learn just who paid for the
printing OF this mean pamph-
let and through what agencies
it has heen circulated. Doubt
less if we knew all connected
with the dirty affair we would
recognize some of our friends
60"
The attitude of The Catholic
Review as TO politics is set
forth in the opening para
graphs of the above-mentioned
editorial It's non-political
character gives weight to its
expression concerning any
candidate. We quote from
these paragraphs:
1.-The policy of a Catholic
paper with regard to political
campaigns should in general
be one of non-interference. It's
purpose is to propagate Cath
Ollie doctrine and TO defend the
Church whenever calumny
raises its head. So i'm
partial has the Review been
in this respect that we cannot
recall an instance where it
