PERRY WILT.

In loving but sad remembrance of
Perry Wilt, who was born July oath,
1902, and was instantly killed Thurs,
day, Jan. 9, 1919, at Luke, Md, aged
II years, months and Is days. He
had just completed his work and was
preparing to leave the mill when
flying roll broke and fell upon him,
producing such injuries as to render
his death instantaneous. His body
was prepared for burial and later TAX
en- to the home of his parents, Mr.. and
en- to the home of his parents Mr. and.
and Mrs. Lincoln Wilt, at Western
port, who with four sisters and four
brothers survive him, besides a large
number of other relatives and friends
who mourn the sad departure of low
ing son, brother and friend, whose
form they will no longer see in this
world of trouble, but all are awaiting
the time for a reunion when and
where there will be no more sorrow
and woe and sad messages to be sent
home to sleeping family as was to
this home on the fateful morning at 3
o'clock. He was a splendid boy;
member of the NJ. E. church at Pied
mont, whose pastor, conducted an i'm
pressive funeral service at the home
of the deceased lad at p. m. on Sat
urday afternoon. The Junior Order
members acted as pail bearers and the
floral tributes were many and beauti-
full. May the God of Peace be with
him as he rests among the dead wait
ing for the resurrection of the just, is
the prayer of the writer, while the
hearts of many go out in sympathy
for the grief-stricken family.

BREAKUP OF CABINET.

With the resignation of Attorney
General Gregory, following Mr.. Nc
Adoo, secretary of the treasury, the
war cabinet of Mr. Wilson is disinte-
grating. Others will likely follow
suit. There is wisdom in the action
of these men, who do not want to in
vite an anti-climax. They leave the
cabinet at the close of the war and
will permit others to hold places of
superior responsibility during the re-
construction period.
Their designations are a precursor
to different type of action by the
next Congress, that will be Republi-
can. That body will be intensely pa
triotic, but its ideas of the readjust-
ments to be made following upon
peace may be, and probably will be,
very different from those of Demo-
cratic-controlled Congress. And this
does not mean very different from the
attitude of Mr.. Wilson. But he him
self is drawing to the close of his own
power. The course of events, the
resignation Of leading members of the
war cabinet and the election of a
Republican Congress point likewise
to the passing of Mr. Wilson in due
course.
Mr.. Gregory is influenced directly
by his financial needs. So said Mr..
McAdoo, but there are other motives
active. The political movement of the
times are those of subtle compul-
sion. Event and destiny are making
use of men as they will, and then
setting them aside for other men to
do different tasks.

land; Mrs. A. R. Hendrickson, of Hicks
vile, o.; and two others, Alta Solim-
ma, now deceased. Seven grandchil-
dren and one greatgrandchild are liv-
ing, and six grandchildren have died.
Three brothers and one sister survive
her: William, living near German;
Daniel and James, near Kitzmiller and
Hester, of Ryan's Glade, widow of the
late William Harvey. About fifty
years ago Mrs. Kelso was converted
and united with the Methodist Episco-
pal church. Through all of this long
period she lived a consistent Chris
tian life. She was a close student of
the Bible, and took great pleasure in
attending religious services. She was
a good companion and mother, kind
and respected neighbor. She was pos
sessed of genial disposition, and had
smile for everyone.
Mrs. Kelso died from the effects of
a complication of diseases, having
borne for fifteen weeks her illness and
suffering with Christian fortitude.
Funeral services were held Sunday
afternoon, Jan. IL, charge of her
pastor, Rev. c. E. Bissell. Before leav-
ing the home prayer was offered by
the Rev. W. NJ Shultz of Oakland.
The public services were held in the
White church, with large concourse
of relatives and friends in attendance.
The sermon, which was preached by
her pastor, was followed by appropri-
ate remarks by Mr.. Shultz and Capt.
White, lifelong neighbor and friend.
Rev. D. B. Orr,pastor of White church
offered the closing prayer. Interment
was made in the cemetery near the
church. The sympathy of the commn-
nifty is with the afflicted husband and
family.

death the congregation loses one of
its cherished members.

MOUNTAIN LAKE PARK.

Mrs. E. W. Kelso died on Friday ev-
ening and was buried at the White
church in Ryan's Glade Sunday after
afternoons full account of the service
appearing elsewhere in this paper to-
day. We are glad to be able to state
that Mr.. Kelso and his granddaughter

own home. Mrs. Kelso was certainly
one of earth's royalty.
We have as additional residents of
the Park Rev. Bissel's son and daugh-
ter, both of whom are now teaching in
the Oakland schools.
Mrs. E. o. Fouch has been at Cher
ry Run, West Va, since Christmas
caring for her sister, who has been ILL.,
Mr.. Fouch was quite sick last week,
but is now very much better.
We are glad to learn that County
Treasurer Kimmell, Mr.. C. V. Har-
vey and son, all of whom were victims
of the influenza, have recovered suf-
ficiently to be able to be out again.
Mrs. White, who recently purchased
the Smouse property on L street, is
also on the sick list Mrs. White is
a daughter of the late Simeon Harvey
of this county.
Every member of the family of Mr..
William Landon, with the exception
of Mrs. Landon, are ill with attacks of
the influenza.
The zero weather of these later
nights is giving us a splendid crop of
crystal ice and as a result some of the
private ice houses in the Park are be-
ing filled, among them being that of
the Mountain Lake Hotel, which is be-
ing filled under the superintendent
of Mr.. H. V. Leighton.
Messrs. c. ]. Rathbun and E. L..
Winchell will have charge of the ice
harvest at the lake this winter.

WRECKAGE OF WAR AND IN
DUSTRY.

One impressive fact looms up big
in connection with the war. The hu-
man wreckage incident to battle
thanks to the industry, skill and in
vention of the surgeons, will not be
anywhere near as great as had been
looked for. A dispatch from Wash
ington says: "Of lila wounded and
injury cases tabulated in American
expeditionary hospitals between jan
uary Is and October 10, 1918, 1873 per
cent. recovered and returned to duty.
The percentage of death was S.S."
This accounts for GAL per cent of
those who were injured and taken to
hospitals for treatment, leaving SO
per cent to be listed as disabled to
such an extent as to be untitled for
military service. That means Abs
cripples, number sufficiently shock
ing, but not at all alarming when
compared with the hazard In Ne
braska for ten months last year
among 10000 employees in the states
industrial plants 1858 were injured
in some degree; although the number
permanently disabled is not stated in
the report at hand, it is quite likely
it is proportionately as high as that
returned by the Army In 1909 deaths
from accident and injury reported for
the registration area in the United
States, which excludes accidents on
farms, totaled 43,519.

Rambler that he knew something
about that little village and its neigh
borhood before the Rockville road be-
came an automobile way, and before
the Bethesda district came to he dot
ted over with the homes OF city peo-
pie The Rockville road in those days
had not only not become an automo-

had not arrived. Some strange fellows
had been dreaming ana experimenting

Neither was there car line along

had not arrived. 1t was a long way
from Bethesda to the horse cars on

about lN13--the horse cars of the
Metropolitan line woke the echoes of

of the horses on the cobhle paving
between the rails and the jingle
jangle of the bells at the horses col
lars woke the echoes.

when Il, G. Lester was postmaster
