Baltimore, Nd, April 20, 1920.
s'Mr. George M. Englar,
Baltimore, Maryland.
HNy Dear Mr.. Englar:-It is with
great regret, both person and official,
that / find myself compelled to accept.
your resignation as Chief Clerk OF
this Department.
seWhen / became Commissioners OF
Motor Vehicles in May, 1916, was
fortunate in being able to avail myself
Of the valuable experience which you
had gained as Chief Clerk to my pre-
deeessor in office-Mr. Harry A. Roe
I was even more fortunate in having
you connect yourself with my admins
trati0n in the same capacity.
''The past four years have witnessed
q remarkable increase in the number
of motor vehicles in general use, and
I feel that it has been due largely to
your resourcefuIness, ability and
patient consideration of detail that
my office has been able to keep at all
times abreast with the constantly in
creasing responsibilities which have
been imposed upon it by such vast
increase In the number of motor We
hieles and operators with which it has
had to deal.
Not only in the Office work ITSELF
bat also in the difficult field Of leg
islation relating to the motor vehicle
al well, have your services been Of
great benefit to this Department. You
have at all times displayed excellent
judgment in your recommendations
and suggestions Of desirable reforms
with respect to motor vehicle legisla-
ton, and have had the breadth to
view this subject not only from the
point OF view Of the administration
OF the law, but as we'll from the point
of view of the motorist and the public
at large.
81 feel that the qualities which you
have displayed during your connec-
ton with this Office are such as will
inevitably bring you success in any
field of endeavor you may elect to
enter; and in severing our official
connection, l wish to assure you not
only of my appreciation Of what you

tration of my Office a success, but of
my most sincere wish that you may at
all times in the future enjoy the great
est possible measure of success.

ers on the beach saw the little fishing
boats come safely into port one by
one, but Luke's was not among them
and later his lifeless body was cast
upon the coast.
That night, alone with her brother,
Faith confessed that Luke was her
lover-that they were to have been
married in the Spring and that she
would soon be a mother. The fury
of the stern man was terrible and his
vengeance paralyzing.
From now on" he cried, "you
shall be an outcast from your kind,
you shall live outside the world, see-
ing nc n and being seen by none."
True to his word he took the brok-
~en-hearted girl to a lonely lighthouse
in the Caribbean Sea - 'Ception
Shoals. Here little Eve was born, a
pledge to the grieving mother of
Luke's love. Her happiness was short
lived, however, for Coffin denounced
the child to be the result of a con-
sumate sin and vowed that she should
pay the penalty Of solitude. Constant
brooding over the fate Of her child
drove the young mother to suicide
and little Eve was left alone with the
embittered man.
Here she grew into beautiful girl
hood-a child of nature and moods-a
daughter of the mists and solitudes,
her only friends the wheeling gulls,
her music the swell of the open sea.
Her uncle's word is kept-she never
sees any human being but Coffin.
Toward dusk one evening a heavy
fog rolls in from the sea-blotting
out all objects and dimming the beams
from the light in the tower.
Eve, dressed in her habitual cost
ume-a ragged shirt and q still more
ragged pair of trousers, makes her
way to the beach. Through the drift
ing fog she sees q vessel stranded on
the treacherous shoals of 'Ception
light. It is the yacht "Driftwood." A
small boat puts out for the shore and
soon . young man is standing or the
beach beside her. The sight Of the
wierd little figure brings : smile to
he yo0ng mama lips, but 70 her he 81

out of the fog.
The young man, whose name is
Philip Blake, explains to Ewes uncle
that the widow of his first mate is on
the yacht and is expecting the birth
of a child. He asks permission to
bring her to the lighthouse but is
sternly refused.
Drawing the wrath of her uncle Eve
brings the party ashore. The baby is
born and a strong tie of friendship
develops between the young mother
and the girl-the latter for the first
time in her life realizing that she also
is a woman This knowledge makes
her feel with shame hat grotesque-
ness of her boys costume and she re-
members that there are some old
clothes belonging to her mother in the
attic. These she puts on and the trans
formation is such that philip is struck
with amazement at the beauty of the
girl.
His love springs into being and he
finds that it is returned by Eve. Job
Coffin vows to keep them apart.
When the Driftwood sails, Philip
promises Eve hat he will return soon
and marry her.
AS the days go by and Philip does
not return Job tells Eve that Philip.
is dead. Months later when he sees
the Driftwood drop anchor off the is
land, he hastens to hide Eve. When
Philip asks for her Job tells him that
she is dead.
Broken-hearted Philip returns to
the yacht and is about to sail when he
sees two figuers struggling in the
light tower. Hurriedly going ashore
he finds Eve in the embrace of Jim
Smoot, the bullying mate of the yacht.
Knocking the nan down he rescues
Eve and goes to demand an explana-
ton from Job Coffin. The excit-
ment has been too much for the old
man and they find him dead at the
foot of the stairs.
With nothing to hinder them Philip
and Eve leave the island. which has

NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
A FREE THINKING REPUBLICAN.

Several days ago in the House of Representa-
tives one of the military bills was up for discus
sion and Representative Fuller, Republican, of
Massachusetts,, secured the floor under the 10
minute rule. He launched into such a frank dis
cussion of military matters as they are connect
ed with the peace treaty and the future status of
the world and he was so open in his criticisms of
the policy of his own party towards the treaty
that he was allowed to extend his remarks con-
siderably beyond the time allotted to him
AS Congressional Record reports his speech he
began by saying that he favored the bill under
discussion and would favor any other measures
to increase the military and naval strength of this
country until the United States became a bona
fide member of a world organization that honest
ly sought to preserve peace and to limit arma-
ments. He ridiculed the idea that we might iso-
late ourselves from the world, because the great
war had shown that world affairs cannot be dis
turbed without disturbing all the nations of the
world. We cannot become a hermit nation even
if we so desired it without adopting as a compile
mentary rule of conduct the principle of non-re-
~sistance to insults and injury. Is there any op-
ponent of the league idea so craven of heart as to
suggest such infamy?
Mr.. Fuller deploIad the loss Of influence and
resceet that this country had suffered through
The bad faith Of the Senate. He denounced as
blood drinking ~junkers' those who had played
on racial hate and partisan bias to encompass the
defeat of the treaty. They were raising up, he
said, monsters in this country and in the world
that would have to be dealt with sooner
or later. When he commended the great courage
of President Wilson his words must have been a.

scure their vision of q new order in world affairs.
Only another war more terrible than the last can
bring to their senses men who either consciously
or unconsciously are doing more than any other
people in the world to make a new scourge q cer-
tainty.
Who can resist q tribute to Mr.. Fullers ster-
ling honesty, his broad liberality and his daunt-
less courage when he sums up the motives of
Wilson's enemies in this wise?
81 believe that if the American Senate had CO.
operated with the president that we could have
laid the foundation for a league to enforce peace
that would prevent future war. / believe the re-
dictionaries who have lost sight of the promises
made to the people during the war have lost sight
of the obligation they owe to the men who fought
the war, and will yet rue the day they indulgedI
their partisanship and petty animosity to a Dem
ocratic president to the extent of defeating the
treaty. The explanation for the animosity to the
treaty / find as disgusting as the tactics that are
employed to defeat it. Imagine as a reason for
defeating this great instrument to prevent future
wars the fact that the president did not ask So
and-so and so-and-so over as a peace delegate !
Personally, / wish he had invited some Republi-
cans to go with him, although I can well appreci-
ate that he was fearful that after he had given
them his confidence they would reward it with the
same gratitude and loyalty as that exhibited by
Sims on a recent occasion"
These words show clearly that the Lodge ring
in the Republican party peace treaty have pleased
none. Neither have they deceived one or the other.
Borah makes use of the Lodge reservations in de-
feating the treaty and then repudiates them,
while Representative Fuller denounces them for
what they are, a mean, unworthy and miserable
subterfuge. It would seem as if the Lodge dissem-
blers were due for an unmasking when all factions
of the Republican party meet to formulate a pol
icy that faces the issues involved rathed than
