! Statesmen might see difficulties,
but the people could see none and
could brook no denial A war in
which they had been bled white to
beat the terror that lay concealed in
every balance of power must not end
| in a mere victory Of arms and new
balance. The monster that had re-
sorted to arms must be put in chains
that could not be broken The united
power Of free nations must put a stop
to aggression and the world must be
given peace. If there was not the will
or the intelligence to accomplish that,
now there must be another final war
and the world must be swept clean OF
every power that could renew the ter
ror The league of nations was not
merely an instrument to adjust and
remedy old wrongs under a new
treaty OF peace: It was the only hope
for mankind. Again and again had
the demon of war been cast out of the
house Of the peoples and the house
swept clean by a treaty of peace; only
to prepare a time when he would en-
ter in again with spirits worse than
himself The house now must be
given a tenant who could hold 1t
against all such. Convenient, indeed
indispensable a statesman found the
newly planned league of nations to be
for execution of present plans of peace
and reparation, they saw 1t in a new
ascot before their work was finished
They saw it as the main object of the
peace. as the only thing that could
complete It or make it worth while.
They saw 1t as the hope of the world
and that hope they did not dare to
disappoint. Shall we or any other free
people hesitate to accept this great
duty? Dare we reject 1t and break
the heart OF the world?
And so the result OF the conference
Of peace. SO far as Germany Is con-
cerned stands complete. The difficult
ties encountered were very many Its
was impossible to accommodate the
interests Of SO great body OF ma
tions-interest which directly or In
directly affected almost every nation
In the world-without many minor
compromises
The treaty, as result, is not ex-
actly what we would have written. It |
is probably not what any one of the I
national delegations would have writ /
ten. But results were worked out |
which on the whole bear tests. l think
that It win be found that the COM
promises which were accepted as In
evitable nowhere cut to the heart OF [
any principle
The work Of the conference squares,
as a whole with the principle agreed |
upon as the basis Of peace as we'll

OF WINTER HITS
LOCAL OYSTERMEN

Today was the coolest day of win

thermometer in front of t. Kent

O'Clock the temperature was two de-
grees higher and at noon it was Is.
Owing to the high winds last night
there was only skim of ice over the
creeks this morning, nut if this wealth

While the harbor and river were not
frozen this morning it was far too cold
for oystermen to venture out. and oys-

few oysters were caught yesterday,
and none today, was the statement
made by the c. W. Martin company.
The oyster industry has been given a
setback by the first real taste of win

EXPECT EXPANSION
OF NAVAL COLLEGE
UNDER ADMIR-. SIMS

Vice Admiral Sims, who has been
commanding the naval forces abroad,
will return to the presidency of the
Naval War College at Newport, r. l.,
when his present duty is completed. If
present plans are carried out there
will be a comprehensive expansion of
this college, which will include work
touching every officer of the fleet. Les
sons learned from the world war will
be applied and naval construction will
be taught.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels dis
closed the assignment of Vice Admiral
Sims, to the War College presidency
in presenting to the House Naval COM
mittee a request for double the APP
preparation made for the college last
year. He also told the committee that
Admiral Sims had requested that he
be returned to Newport, which he left
just before the United States entered
the war in order TO hasten to London
to arrange for the participation of the
American navy in the fight against the
common enemy.
THE study of naval strategy and
naval tactics during the last four
years" the Secretary told the commit
tee, will have deep interest for every
naval officer, and the application of the
principles learned during the war in
future naval strategy will need to be
studied by all naval officers who may
be charged with responsible duties.
do not. think that any money for naval
purposes can be expended more wisely
than to give the opportunity for naval
officers to study at the War College
and to carry the study to all men in
the fleet.
Under Admiral Sims direction the
college will expand its work so that
it will touch every officer in the fleets,
as well as those officers who are privi-
legged to go to Newport for a term. 1t
is my purpose to have assigned to the
college an eminent naval constructor,
and along with the study of tactics and
strategy there will be the study of
naval construction. We have learned
many things about the building of
ships and the Importance of the pro-
lection of ships during this war. Other
officers and other stats and corps will
also have the advantage of attendance
upon the War College.
1T would be manifestly unjust now
to put in force an order that no man
should be assigned to an important
place in the fleet who had not taken
the War College course, but we are
looking toward that end and must
make provision for affording oppor-
tunity to all officers to take this course
When this has been. done. promotion
and leadership in the navy should go
to those who have mastered strategy
and tactics as taught at the War Col
lege as we'll as those who have shown
mastery over the seas in the actual
practice of seamanship afioat."

TAKES A TUMBLE
TRYING TO KISS
THE BLARNEY STONE

Peter Mcclure. sometime of San
Francisco. now of the United States
navy. imperiled his neck for the right
to tell his admiring friends at home,
1--WE kissed the Barney Stone" Nc
guire was a member of a party of
American sailors conducted by the
Young Mems Christian Association TO
Barney Castle.
Its bit of drop" said Pete, after
he had climbed to the top of the castle
wall and looked down a sheer one
hundred and ten feet It's by way of
adding a little sport TO the game"
Pete watched other Yankee blue
Jackets kiss the Barney Stone. The
approved methods is for strong man
TO grasp the candidates left leg and
arm Then they swing him out over
the abyss as far as they can reach and
let the intrepid one bounce his nose
against the scarcely attainable rock,
call it kiss. and. let it go at that.
Not so with Mcclure. He knew he
could reach out over the ledge and kiss
the Barney Stone across the way with
out assistance. AS he had almost at
tanned his goal he lost his balance and
started down the one hundred and ten
feet straight through the air.
The keeper descended by a safer
route, intending to pick up the dead
American sailor. What he saw was
MCGUIRE rubbing himself and pointing
heavenward with a sort of sheepish
grin.
The keeper saw where MCGUIRE
after falling sixty feet, hit well out on
tree limb and broke it off. Below
that was another bough to which he
had caromed, and below still another,
also breaking the fall so that the last
drop of fifteen feet was minor.
The custodian became very angry
What do you mean" said he, break
ing off the limbs of the trees? Don't
you see that sign, DO not injure

POLITICAL
SITUATION COMPLEX
Circumstances Such That New
fractional Lines May Arise
Is Expert Opinion
NEW LEADER DARK HORSE

In the opinion of students OF local
politicians two events of the past few
months have tended to unsettle poll
teal conditions in Annapolis and Anne
Arundel county, and make the rear
rangement of factional lines within the
democratic party matter of great in
terest. The death of DR.. George
Wells, the veteran leader of the party
in city and county, is one of these, and
the other is the loss of portion of the
county to Baltimore city, which be-
came effective only last Wednesday at
midnight.
DR. Wells maintained a guiding, in
deed, a controlling hand, upon the poll
tical ship up TO few days before his
death, it is pointed out. No one has
yet appeared to definitely take his
place. though there are leaders in
nearly every district of the county who
WELD a powerful influence. Among
the most notable of these. according. to
those processing best information, are
Frank S. Revell of the Third district,
Bruner r. Anderson of the Fourth dis
trict, Sheriff Joseph H. Bells in An
napolis and Isaac n. Nutwell and DR..
Alfred H. Perrie of the Eighth dis
trict
The loss of the first and third pre-
cincts of the Fifth district mean much
to the democratic party and much
within the party, say some party lead
ers.
mot only has the party relied large
ly upon that section for its majorities
in the last decade, but it has welded
a tremendous influence in the control
of party affairs" one such leader stat
ed today. "A power in the party was
lost when Justice John n. Potee was
legislated into Baltimore. and demo-
Gratis are freely admitting that more
than the usual care must be shown at
this time in selecting a county ticket
for next falls election" he said
A prominent republican leader says,
in effect: Many are the democratic
candidates in recent years, who have
reached the Fifth district tagging be-
hind the necessary vote for election.
and who have been saved by the solid
democratic majority of that section.
With that saving element lacking, it is
admitted on all hands that only the
most prudent handling of party af-
fairs viii insure continued democratic
control of the county"
The city election, in July. is the first
event on the political program. So
far. no member of the city council has
made the definite announcement that
he will not be candidate for re-elec-
ton. Mayor Strange has at times ex-
pressed willingness to return to civil
life, but has. so far as known. made no
definite announcement to that effect.
Winson G. Gott has been frequently
mentioned to head the city ticket for
the democrats, as has J. Clayton
Brewer for the republicans. The lat
ter gave Mayor Strange the closest
shave he has ever had.
Candidates for clerk of the circuit
court, upon their own initiative or the
wish of friends. have already been
mentioned. Suggestions as TO the
democratic candidates for the state
senate are also numerous. Some think
that Frank NJ. Duvall, the incumbent
and the late democratic nominee for
the house of representatives is the
