Maryland Council of Defense

Mr.. EDITOR You know of the un
dertaking Of the Maryland Council O
Defense, through the Historical Divi
sion, to compile ine war records O.
Maryland. for preservation in per
manent War History Collection. The
purpose is to compile these records in 6
very thorough way, so to make the wal
records of Maryland equal. or superior
to those of any other State. A bill is
now pending in the Legislature, with
the approval of the Governor, to create
| a War Records Commission to carry on
the undertaking. after the termination
| of the Council of Defense.
| You will remember the proclamation
| by the Governor, which was published
in your paper, naming August 10th last,
as the day for starting the campaign for
the War Service Records. 1t was not
expected, of course, that all of the rec
ords would be obtained at once, but it
was realized that it would take con-
siderable time to complete the work.
In Baltimore City, about 10000 of the
records have been obtained, and the re-
suits in many OF the counties are very
satisfactory.
Unfortunately, a combination of cir
cumstances caused a delay in starting
the campaign in Prince Georges county.
We are very fortunate, however, i'll OBJ
tanning the consent of Lieut., L, CHS
elm Sasscer, of Upper Marlboro, to
take the Craftsmanship of the County
Historical Committee, and to take
charge of the campaign for the War
Service Records. Mr.. Sasscer. is very
able and enegetic man, and with his
splendid record in the service, is IN ex-
celIent position to direct the campaign
for the military records. Mr.. Sesscer
will have the active support, as mem
bers of his com mittee, of Mr.. Geo w.
Waters, who was Chairman of the
County Council of Defense; Of Mr..
Howard Duckett. who represents the
Historical Committee of the Southern
Maryland Society, and other persons
who were prominent in county war
activities.
Mr.. Sasscer will form committees
throughout the county, and endeavor to
carry out as active and intensive
campaign as possible. In this under
taking, Mr.. Sasscer will need the hearty
support and assistance of all agencies of
publicity in the county, especially the
county newspapers. 1t will certainly be
a matter OF county interest and pride to
see that the war records Of Prince
Georges county are as complete as
those of any other county, and we feel
sure that you will give your very best
CO operation In the undertaking. Mr..
Sasscer, Of course, will be able to furn-
ish better details in regard to plans for
the campaign Of the county.
Very truly yours,
KARL SINGEwALD, Sec'y,
Maryland Council of Defense.

The deceased was q son of Rev. MIR.
Shears, at Forestville.
The following clipping is from the
Union News. of Towson:
1.-The death of Rev Frederick G. F.
Shears, the beloved rector of st. John s
and Trinity Churches, was great
shock to his many friends in this neigh
borhood, where he had by his indomitabls
pluck. manly courage, kindness of heart
and pleasing personality endeared him
self to high and low, ri n and poor
alike. He had by his constant, Jealous,
uphill work built up a Sunday school,
which should be monument to him.
His love for children and his idea that
the children were the future congrega-
ton led him to plan everything possible
for their pleasure. His work among
the young people is to be kept up by
the members of St. Johns believing
that this would be his most cherished
wish

Marlboro Improvement Society Meets.

A meeting of the Marlboro Improv
ment Society was held in the Court
House, Thursday afternoon, March 4.
In the absence of Mr. Frederick
Sasscer, president, Mr.. NJ. c. McNab,
called the meeting TO order and Mr.. J.
H. aband was chosen chairman.
The minutes of the last m Getting were
read and adopted. Mr.. McNab report
ed he had correspondent with an engin-
eer of the u S. Board of Health with
regard to draining the marshes but
who said there being no money availa-
BILE in that department, he could offer
no help on that line.
The lighting of this town by electrici-
ty was discussed and q plat shown
where sixteen a'c lamps would be locat-
ed and installed by the Delco Light
from Mr.. William Bucks enlarged
plant which he will soon have installed
at his garage in this town.
The cost of Lighting the streets was
estimated by Mr. Warren V. Reed, the
county agent for the Delco Light, to be
about $50 with a yearly cost of main.
tenance of about $500, which IS one
half of the amount the oil lamps form
erlv cost to maintain.
1t was suggested that the charter Of
the town be so amended by an Act of
the Legislature that the citizens could
have the power to vote on the question
of town taxation for public improve
ment. Mr.. T. Van Claget was empow
cred to daft the bill. Other means oil
raising the money were discussed bu
no decision was reached.

Resolved, That the death of our late
rector in the prime of life, and almost
at the threshold of what promised to
be long and useful career, is a
calamity, which it is impossible ade-
quately to express.
Resolved, That during Mr.. Shears in

service Of his Master, and untiring
devotion to the welfare of his parish

duty, and his rarely sympathic nature.
impressed all with whom he came il.

Parish Priest.

Legislative Notes.

Mr.. Coad, st. Mary's county, introinc-
ed a bill in the House giving the Tobac
co Growers Association recognition il
allotment of space in the state tob tccn
Warehouses; The general object of the
bill is to improve conditions uadsr
which tobacco is marketed
A bonus bill for ex-service men has
been introduced, under the terms OF
which every man who served in the
late war would receive bonus of SIC
for each month so served, and provieds
for an educational allowance not to
exceed, $1,000 for each man.
Governor Richie designated April 9th
as Arbor Day. 1t is proposed to plant
300 trees in the public parks in Balti-
more School children will be invited
to participated in the exercise.
Senator Wolfe's bill increasing the
cost of marriage licenses from 81 to 50
passed the Senate without debate or
opposition. At the time the cost was
reduced to 81 the argument advanced
was that it was the duty of the state
to make marrying popular. The ex-
PLANTATION now offered is that as every
other luxury and necessity is more ex-
pensive, and the people are making
more money there is no reason why
marriage should, not keep up with the
financial procession.
Delegates Jones in trod uced in the
House Tuesday bill to provide for
daylight saving by advancing the time
oae hour from 2. A. M. from the last
Sunday in April until 2 A. M. of the
last Sunday in September of each year.

French Editor Says Wilson's
 Letter Directed at General

Paris. March 11.-President Will son,s charges against France, made in the letter he sent early, this week to Gilbert NJ. Hitchcock, democratic leader in the U. $. senate, are said by "Pertinax' political editor of the Echo de Paris, to "be aimed at France by name, but at Marshal Foch by inn pIication.'
 .'The so-called imperialism of France" says the writer in discussing MT. Wilson's letter, consists in the conviction, fortified by all the lessons of history that, to guarantee herself. against attacks from central Europe, she must hold the Rhine bridge heads"
 Tn the course of his article Per tinax' says President Wilson went to the session of the supreme council on May 29. 1919 much .perturbed, and read to Premiers Clemenceau and Lloyd George a letter from Pierrepont B. Moves, American member of the Rhineland commission who declared the agreement reached on May II for the administration of the Rhineland was more brutal than it's authors themselves would desire, as it pro- vides for intolerable oppression of G. 100000 inhabitants of the region dur ing many years" MT. Moves letter added that American officers with whom he had discussed the question strongly supported his view and was accompanied by plan of occupation involving a minimum Of military domination it is said
 This plan," the article asserts.
 
 convention providing for occupation of the Rhine1and signed with Germany at Versailles on June 2S, 1919, be- cause President Wilson was able at the meeting of May 29 to impose the views of MT. Moves on the supreme i council and a new commission con- sisting of Marshal Foch, Gen. Tasker H. Bliss, American peace delegate and Field Marshal Sir Henry Hughes Will son, chief of the imperial staff Of the i British army, received strict orders to prepare a new scheme of occupation based on American ideas" 1 The writer declares Marshal Foch, l in discussing the plan evolved by this comm issfon said:
 'The Germans asked for an i'm 1 perial commissioner and they were 1 given not only a commissioner but a civil administration commission which is much more than they 1 claimed"
 | These words of Marshal F'och' he l continues, "characterize the whole i business today. In consequence it is l plain to see the Rhineland shares fully in the life of united Germany 1 and in the distribution of coal there 1 Germany goes so far as to distinguish l between inhabitants she supposes f favorable or unfavorable to us.

Bombing Gorge ill Susquehanna River
 Is Proving Successful.

IS ETON HE folTCVeS,oIUI
 Port Deposit, Md, March 11.-It is believed today that efforts to breal, the ice gorge in the Susquehanna River by bombing from airships will be successful
 Under the combined attack of the Army aNiators and a mild atmosphere the jam was loosened late yesterday to such an extent that small amount of ice and backwater began passing out into Chesapeake Bay. However, the channel was not wide enough to assure that the ice would not gorge again and the airmen arranged to return today and continue their work.
