No high Rents Here

High rents and the protiteer have no
terrors for those who can take advan-
tage of State Forester F. w. Besely's
offer to spend their vacations on the
MARYLAND Forest Reserves. Nothing
has gone up because of the war, for
everything is free These lands are now
thrown open under easy CO ndltious 30
all residents of the state and Mr.. Bes-
ley says the this is the time to make
all reservations for tn summer season.
As many know, and as great many
do not know. the state owns outright
Garrett County nearly 5000 acres Of
forest and mountain lands. In Balti-
more County, along the Patapsco
River, 1000 acres smore are owned by
the state, with an equal area, state
managed, open for camping on the
same terms as the reserves Intensely es.
There is no other spot in Maryland
where beautiful, healthful, surrounding
may be had for the asking, free.
For those with week.e end to spend
in the country, presuming our camper
lives in Baltimore, the Patapsco Re-
serve will make a strong appeal. The
Potapsco Reserve borders the river be.
tween Relay and Hollnfeld, and it is a
naturally beautiful region. Camping
sites are readily reached by trains, troll
ley or automobile, and thirty minutes
ride and few cents fare are all that
any Baltimoreau requires to erj0y it.
Several hundred sites have already been
laid out here by the b ,ard Of Forest
try. They command not only a good
view Ibut also wood and water. On
the reserve, the Board is represented by
resident Warden, F. G. Prince Of
Leicester. The State Forester may be
reached al his office, 532 N. Howard
Street, by te'ephoning Nit. Vernon 1850,
and the local Warden by calling
Gainesville 98R. In either case, there
is no delay in granting camping sites
absolutely free to bona fde applicants.

equal attra ctions with slightly larger
amount of woods, mountains, and very

THE ATTEMPT ON SECRETARY
PALMER AND OTHERS

Never before has this country
experienced an organized bomb
attack. 1t came near it last
May Day, when the attempt to
send so many Internal machines
to public men through the mails
was happily frustrated. But the
practically simultaneous explos-
ions that occurred Monday in
Washington, New York, Cleve-
land, Pittsburg, Philadelphia,
Boston and Paterson mark alto
gether too near an approach to
success. If there were no fatal
tiles, that is merely the way
bombs sometimes chances to act
The attack was pulled off.
Of course, such a thing cannot
be endured. If wear up against
Anarchists, then the Anarchists
have got to go. There may be
two or three or a dozen or a
hundred involved. But it does
not seem the time to insist over
scrupulously upon discriminating
evidence of the exact kind only.
When Anarchists begin indulg-
ing in such crimes as this, all
Anarchistic agitation becomes
pretty nearly criminal. To the
best of our knowledge not an ar
rest followed the May attempt,
nor did more rigorous measures,
even against invitation to lawless-
ness. This is not the way to meet
such threats; certainly not the
way to meet anarchy's actual &C

e LEE FOR
IROLLER
re. Brooke Lee may
} be a candidate for
cratic nomination for

Major Lee is a son of form
er United States Senator Blair
Lee, of Montgomery county, and
is in command of one of the batta-
lions of the 115th Infantry.
Several months ago it was re-
ported that friends of Major Lee
in Montgomery county would
urge him to seek the Democratic
nomination for state senator from
his county if he returned in time
for the entrance of his name in
primaries. Later it was reported
that this plan had been dropped.
Elements of the Democratic party
in several parts of the state are
favorable to the office for a place
on the statewide Democratic
ticket this fall and that he would
soon be approached with the pro-
posal that he consent to the use
of his name for the comptroller
ship.
Few of the younger Democrats
of the state are better known
than the young infantry officer.
A graduate of law he has been
associated with his father in .po-
litical life for a number of years.
In fact, for several years lbefore
he went to France Major Lee
was recognized as one of his
fathers closest political advisers
and he participated prominently
in the campaigns in which the
elder Lee took part.
Always taking a keen interest
in the National Guard life, Major
Lee helped to organize company
of infantry in Montgomery coun-
ty, which drilled near his home
at Silver Springs. He was elect
ed an officer of the company and
saw border service, during the
Mexican disturbance. Later he
went into the Federal service
with his company and was COM
missioned a captain.
Much has been written about
the Montgomery countian's acti-
vities in France. He participant
ed in all the fierce fighting in
which the 115th Infantry took
part and was decorated with the
Croix de Guerre for exceptional
bravery. He was also decorated
by the King of Belgium for
bravery.
That the general trend of both
parties of Maryland is to recog-
nize the soldier element; in politics
is admitted and in connection
with this it is said that the Demo-
Gratis behind the present move
ment believe that Major Lees
name would add strength to the
ticket in November. Baltimore

GERMANY SAW
| KNOCKOUT COMING
'AIIies Would Have Struck Oh
November II.

Paris, Jan. 6.-Germany hurried to
request the armistice when she saw
that a new allied offensive was to be
launched on the Lorraine front on
November - by 100000 men under
command Of General De Castelnau,
says the Excelsior.
American and French troops, it says,
were concentrated on the front be-
tween Briery and Chateau Sains. They
were supported by 5000 guns of all
calibres and had 800 tanks available
on a front of about forty-five miles.
Duke Albrecht of Wurttemberg, the
German commander on this front, had
available only twenty-five divisions of
inferior fighting quality. These divis-
ions contained approximately 100000
men. He had only 1000 guns.
This allied attack, the Excelsior
continues, would have carried the war
into annexed Lorraine and into Rhen.
ish Prussia, threatening to cut off the
German army in Belgium and in the
Ardennes from its bases.
German general headquarters, real
izing that the divisions on other Sec
tors were exhausted and that it's
forces were demoralized and worn out,
averted catastrophe by pleading for
an armistice. The Excelsior con-
cludes:
''The success of the offensive was
assured, but it could not have made
victory more complete than it already
was, because Germany accepted all
our conditions. Marshal Foch deemed
it useless to cause further shedding
Of blood and consented to stop HOSTILE
ties, although Germany was then in a
desperate plight

CALLED AID TO IDLENESs
Many Good Reasons Why the -6anana
Has Perfect Right to That
Classification.

Bananas, according to legend cur
rent in tropical countries. are the orig
lnal "apples" of the Garden of. Eden
along with the serpent and Mrs
Adam, the cause of mans fall. At
least, they tend to serve similar pur-
pose in these times, because they are
almost equal to the coconut palm as
an aid to idleness.
An acre of bananas will yield so
times as much food as an acre Of po-
tatoes and $50 times as much as wheat.
The banana is immune to almost every
plant disease and has fewer insect
enemies than any other fruit. 1t will
grow on poor land, if need be. and
will distance any weed or shrub that
tries to contest its claim to soil and
sunlight.
The banana Is the neither fish.

dom. 1t Is usually classified as a
tree, but it is not q tree. Although it
attains height of 80 feet there is
no wood fiber in the stalk. The
punches Of fruit on the dwarf varie-
ties are often heavier than the re-
mainder of the plant. 1t is not a
palm, nor IN herb, nor bush, nor n
shrub, and it is not a vegetable. In
some distant way it may be related
to the grasses, but the relationship
Is so distant that it stands in class

Dealers in Some Counties HAY
Not Take Out Teens S.

Harrisburg, Jan. 6.-AlthouSh UNI
der federal law the nation will go dry
on July l, it is likely that parts of
Pennsylvania will, because of the IL
cense situation, drift away from
LIQUOR seIiillg before that time.
It's all matter of whether 1t Will
pay to take out a license for Il full
year when the dealer has only u few
weeks or months to handle his stuff.
In most of the counties the license
courts meet i'll January and February.
In many they are held in March and
in some they are held i'll April and
May. There has been a general dis
position on the part of the liquor
men to apply for licenses in those
counties where the courts are held i'll
January, February and March. They
believe that it will be profitable to
conduct their places because of the
high prices charged for liquors.
Many hotel men and dealers frankly
question the ACCESSIBILITY of taking
chances on short periods, but even in
the counties, where the courts meet
in April and May there is the belief
that the legislature may adopt law
that will reoate the liquor men for the
unexpired part of the year for which
licenses are granted.

Who Lost Foot Under Train.
Lebanon, Pa, Jan. .6-Forrest Shirk,
the Swatara township public school
teacher who is charged with seeking
to evade the selective draft by hav-
ing a foot cut off beneath the wheels
of a passenger train on the Lebanon
and fremont branch Of the Reading
railway, did not have his hearing be-
fore United States Commissioner
Schools.
The commissioner instead announced
the hearing had been postponed in
definitely for the reason that the case
had been referred to United States
District Attorney McCourt, of the
Middle District, at Scranton, for an
opinion as to the legality of the prose-
cution.
While congress provided punishment
for almost every kind of evasion Of
the draft law that might be attempted
it failed to provide against the adop-
ton of such means as having a foot
cut off by a train. The alleged Of
tense is so unusual and the law so
uncertain in this respect that the dis
trict attorney also has referred the
ease to Attorney General Gregory.

ONLY 100 AMERICANS
ARE BLINDED. INsWAR
hIapneI is Cause in Most
Gases; Not Hun Gas.

Phi l:tle,phia, Jan. 6.-Only 100 sol
dicrS Of Americas eXpeditiOnary forces
in France have been made blind dur
ing the war, q number when compared
with the 265,O0O casualties suffered i'll
the American army is considered re-
markedly low.
This was made known by Major
William Il. Shoemaker. noted eye
physician, who has returned home af-
ter nineteen months service overseas.
Doctor Shoemaker was attached as
opthalmologist to base hospital unit
No. 10 of the Pennsylvania hospital,
and recently, for his wonderful work
in treating wounds to the eyes of sol
ders, was placed in charge of the eye
departments in all the American hos
pitfalls in England.
Virtually every case of blindness
among American soldiers was due to
shrapnel and other. wounds, and not
attributable to gas used by the Huns,
Doctor Shoemaker said. Permanent
injury to the sight by mustard and
other gases was negligible, contrary
to the common belief that gas used
caused cases of blindness, Doctor
Shoemaker asserted.
