War Orphans Of France
Dying from Malnuhi6On

The children of France have not
yet emerged from the shadow of the
war. With peace assured, and a
happier future opening before them,
it becomes incl easingly evident that
the child life of France has suffered
a shock from which it is difficult to
rally; while the birth rate has dropp-
ed to 8 to each 1000 population.
The Fatherless Children of France
an American organization co-operat-
ing with similar one in Paris, OF
which Marshal Joffre is the head,
reports that of the children receiv-
ing American aid to the extent of 10
cents a day under its plan Of secur-
ing American god-mothers for the
little French war waits, it's records
show an average of 700 children's
deaths per month since the armis-
tice. The help OF the American god
mothers came too late to save these
undernourished, nerve-shocked little
ones.
Mrs. Walter s. Brewster, of Chi
cago, yice-chaiiman of the Father
less Children of France, has been
appointed chairman of a campaign
to secure American aid for the &C.,
GOO little war orphans whose names
were on the lists of the organization.

OF the armistice. Ten cents will care

II W DdiIluOIO.
Mr.. ApplegaTth asserts that he
did not know Dulany did not have a
good financial standing or reputation
and he denies that he ought to have
known it. He denies that he was
negligent in any way in his duties,
or that through his gross negligence
while he was a director and the
president, Dulany or anyone else
wrongfully drew money from the
treasury of the corporation. He de-
MES further that while he was a di-
rector and officer of the corporation
it did nothing except loan money on
questionable security, or no security
at all, at such exorbitant rates of in
terest, bonus or commissions as
would be ruinous to any legitimate
business. The directors, according
to the answer, were not guarantors
of the soundness of all loans by such
a corporation, and they cannot be
held liable, after the exercise of
their best judgment, if loans made by
the corporation prove to be loss.
1t was understood, the answer
states, that Mr.. Applegarth was not
to have the active management and
direction of the company and he re-
ceived no salary except the usual di-
rectors' fee of SIS.
The answer states further that
George Dobbin Penniman, another
of the defendants, whom Mr.. Apple
garth knew to be of the highest char
acter and wide experience, when
elected chairman of the executive
committee of the company. assured
Mr.. Applegarth that he would give
his personal attention and supervi-
sion to every foan which came be-
fore the committee, and nothing had
ever been brought to his attention to
cause him to believe that Mr.. Penni-
man did not do so.
Being a stakeholder suit against a
Maryland corporation, it is also con-
tended the Federal Court was with
out jurisdiction to entertain it and
to appoint receivers. The final con-
tention is that Mr.. Applegarth was
improperly joined in the suit and
that the bill of complaint .s multi
farious. Saturdays Sun.

MIR. APPLECARTR REPLIES
National Finance Corporation Direc-
tor Denies Liability For Loss
Wasn't Negligent, He Says

In his answer filed in the United
States Court yesterday, William r
Applegarth, of Dorchester county
specifically denies the material ale
cations affecting him in the bill oil
complaint of Carlyle Barton and
Robert S. Mooney, receivers of the
National Finance Corporation, To
make the directors of the corpora
ton liable for losses sustained by it,
Mr.. Applegarth was a director and
at one time president of the corpo-
ration. He lives near Cambridge,
and is merchant and farmer.
France, McLanahan &c Rouzer are
his attorneys.
In his answer Mr.. Applegarth says
he was elected a director of the3eor-
poration on November 20, 1916, but
did not accept until December 7th
following, and then after he had
been urged to do so by William ]. G.
Dulany, the principal defendant. tPri-
or to the receivership and whilet one
of the receivers, Mr.. Mooney, vas
acting as president of the corpora
ton, the answer continues. Mr.. Moo
ney reported, after an examination
of the corporations affairs. that it
had estimated assets of $73, 3,526i
Mr.. Applegarth denies that any
loss to the company was caused by
any fault or negligence on his part.
He also denies that any of the as
sets were wasted, squandered or mis-
appropriated through his gross neg
ligence.
1t is stated in the answer that Mr..
Applegarth had no personal know
ledge of the amount paid the Calvert
Investment Company as commits
sions and no knowledge that Dulany
controlled and practically owned that
company. Under the circumstances,
it is contended N the answer, the
payment of commissions referred to
in the bill of complaint for the sale
of the corporations stock was not a
reckless and culpable exit ayaganee,
and would not have been SO consid-
cred by director who managed the
corporation with the care and skill
its situation demanded under the
law.
The answer also denies that Mr.
A4pplegarth ever received any COM
mission for the sale of stock or any
other money, except $40 or $25 for
attending directors meetings. He
was not paid his expenses for trips

Ratify the Whole Treaty
CDR. Charles w. Eliot, in the New
York Times.)

York Times.
A minority of the American SEN
ate is threatening to prevent or de-
lay the ratification of this invalu-
able treaty. Some of the reasons
given for such delay or defeat can
only be described as ignominious and
dastardly. They represent the Amer
lean people as tired of their disfn-
terested crusade for justice and lib
erty throughout the world, and de-
sirous of returning to their former
belief in their own prosperity and
safety through isolation.
Let the American people make
known to the Senate that they hold
firmly to the ideals with which they
went to war in April. 1917, and that
they are not so stupid IS to believe
that the United ties can avoid
sharing ms political AID IND lslss
trial calamities Which may afaict the
rest of the world. Other arguments
used against the treaty suggest that
the American people should be care
full about assuming new responsible
ties for the welfare of other nations,
and should keep its breath to cool
it's own hot porridge.N These, too,are
arguments which appeal to the less
generous and idealistic side OF the
American character. Hence, they
will be unsuccessful. One great les
son of the war is that the American
people will support their Govern
ment, in doing everything possible to
promote public liberty, health and
happiness not only at home, but in
any part of the world to which Its
influence can extend, and will pledge
to that cause "tDeir lives, their for
tunes and their sacred honor" as
the signers of the Declaration of In
dependence said to each other on
July 4, 1875.
The covenant and treaty-they
are inseparable-will go down in
history as the most memorable inter
national agreement ever made. 1t
will probably be many years before
the details of the struggle at Paris
will become known to the world, but
one thing is now known-America
contributed great hope and a noble
inspiration.

A new IDEA IN FARM
MACHINERY MANAGEMENT |
Implement Dealers And Manufactlr,
ers Advise Farmers to Avoid Cost.
Iy Mistakes by Ordering early
State College Expert to Hold Trac-
tor Schools.

The week of March frs will be
National Farm Equipment Repair
Week." Throughout the State and Ma
tion, and every farmer in Maryland
! who owns powe:' farm machinery
should make out the list of repairs
or new machinery needed as early as
possible and place it in his dealers
hands for immediate action. In car
rying out our 1919 food production
program We cannot afford to lose a
moments time after March ,rst, and
by being thoroughly prepared in this
matter of farm machinery, we can
avoid many costly delays. ).
The imperative, need for definite
action on this question is easily un-
derstood when we consider the vast
number OF tractors, gas engines,
threshing outfits, etc, that must be
put in running order before the sea-
sons activities begin. The natural
tendency is to wait until we need
some particular machine before or
dering repairs. AS a matter of fact,
it is only when we get ready to use
the machine that We discover repairs
are needed. 1t is this far too general
practice that we must relegate to by
gone days if we as producers are to
become efficient in the full sense of
the word.
In justice to the factories and
railroads, many of which are still
short of help, we should allow suffi-
cient time for the supplying Of nee
essary repair parts. Therefore, it
is suggested that every farmer go
over all his equipment carefully or
the next stormy day when outside
work cannot be pushed and deter
mine exactly what repairs will be
needed for the coming season.
If you are operating a tractor or
contemplating the purchase of one of
these machines, by all means plan to
attend one of the Tractor Schools
that the Extension Service of the
State College is holding in various
parts of the State this winter. These
schools are in charge of a tractor ex-
pert who explains and demonstrates
in detail all of the practical phases of
tractor operation.
The schools last for three days at
each place and will be conducted in
Cambridge, Md, on January 80, 81,
and February 1st.

PAYMENT Of Insurance
Premiums by Soldiers

At the time of discharge of an
officer or enlisted man who has taken
out insurance, he is handed a mem
orandum of information on which is
stated the amount of his monthly in
surance premium until July 1, 1919.
and the amount of such premium for
each year thereafter for five years,
commencing with July l.. This will
leave no doubt as to the amount OF
each Insurance payment. At the same
time each officer or enlisted man
should learn from his commanding
officer or the insurance officer the
date to which his premiums have
been paid by deductions from his
pay.
If the insured at the time OF his
discharge has learned the date to
which his premiums have been paid,
he should on the same date OF the
succeeding month send his premium
to the Disbursing Clerk, Bureau of
War Risk Insurance, Treasury De-
partment, Washington, D. C., making
the check or money order payable to
the Treasurer of the United States,
and should continue such payments
on the same day of each month there
after.
If the insured has not been in
formed as to the date to which his
premiums have been paid by check
ing from his pay then he should
without fail make his first payment
not later than 81 days after his dis
charge. sending the check to the
same person and making it payable
as stated in paragraph 2. In his let
ter he should ask to what date his
premiums are paid by the enclosed
payment, and upon receiving that IN
formation he should make his future
payments each month thereafter on
the date when j. is due, for example,
l. if he was honorably discharged on
November 9th and made his first
payment on December 9th and re-
ceived information from the Bureau
that such payment was due on De-
cember 18th, he should make his
next payment on January l5th,and
regularly on the 18th of each sue
ceeding month.
On receipt OF the first premium
payment and of each succeeding
premium payment the Bureau of War
Disk Insurance will send to the in
sured a blank to use in making his
next payment If such blank is not
received or no reply received in re-
sponse to the first payment, the in
sured should nevertheless make his
next payment not later than one
month later than the preceding pay
! ment, again asking for information
as to the date to which his premiums
ar ethereby paid.
In all communications the insured
should give his full name, including
both first and middle, his grade ana
| organizataion at the time of apply
ing for insurance, his Army serial
number, the insurance certificate
number, Cif he knows it), the date
of discharge or separation from the
service, and his present address.

standing the fact that further regula-

been said are under consideration

What has been said in the preced-
ing paragraphs respecting premium
payments applies only to the present
form of term insurance and has no

ernment insurance into which the
