NOTICE.!

In view of the great waste of
water causing very low pressure
in the city, greatly increasing the
expense of pumping at the water
works and almost exhausting the
sources of supply. the board OF di-
rectors Of the Annapolis Water
Company has passed an order that
waste of water must be stopped.
and that landlords and tenants be
notified that meters will be in
stalled where this notice is disre
garded. Those who wilfully waste
the city's water supply cannot
complain if they are required TO
pay for what they waste.

President Annapolis Water Co.

DR.. Persons told of the things that
the churches of different denomina-
tions have in common The church, he
said, is one structure. built about four
central pillars, which he defined as
the pillar of Thought, Emotion, IDEAL
ism, and Purpose.
The theologians. he said, are practi-
cally thinking the same thoughts
There may be difference of thought in
little intricacies, in individual differ
ence, but the large thought. the noble
purpose is the same. 1t is a we'll
known fact that theological seminaries
use the text books of all denomina
tions
DR. Persons spoke of the pillar Of
emotion He said emotions are the
same, practically. that the different
churches sing the same hymns, no
matter who the author or what his
creed In closing he said the purpose
of the church is to uplift the world on
larger nterdenominatsonal lines OF
work, and to eliminate the. factors that
tend toward inefficiency in church
work and the accomplishment of the
good for which it stands.

Rev. Owens Address

In his address. the Rev. A. Z. Owens
brought a vision of the church awak-
ened by the call for cooperation. that
is, cooperating for higher ideals in
Christian service.
He spoke of the deepening of the in
terest in each local denomination. and
the localizing of the Christian stand
ard for Christian ideals lie made d
strong point that the churches are CO.
operating and dwelt upon the fact that
the world war brought home condi-
tions more forcbly to emphasize the
heed of the churches cooperating, and
this was done on a larger scale during
the war, and for larger purpose than
ever before

A FEASIBLE BONUS PLAN

COMETHlNG more than merely amiable
~ wishes is contained In the latest com
munication of the citizens committee 70 the
Board OF Education. 4 plan for the in
crease Of teachers salaries Is worked out in
detail. Therein it is shown that a $500
bonus can be distributed At once to each one
Of the 1000 public school teachers. and that,
beginning IN January, the Finegan schedule
OF pay increases can be put into execution.
The assets OF the Board of Education, in
cluding funds appropriated, proceeds from
the sale Of bonds, money to be derived from
the sale of real estate and other sources. are
estimated as amounting TO 81 400 900. This
win provide for the bonuses. For the in
production of the new salary schedule it is
suggested that the board should exercise its
power to increase the school tax 10 eight
mills.
1t is particularly emphasized that the
differences OF opinion among the school
teachers concerning the method and measure
of aid will be obliterated by this compreheu
sive scheme. The sanction Of the Board Of
Education Is indispensable to enforcement.
Delay in acting on the proposition will make
the reverse Of a good impression.

NEWS BY AIR

MAIL systems the electric telegraph, sub
ANA marine cables, the telephone and
finally, wireless. were devised and perfected
to meet the demand for better means Of
communication between places aud men,
which is in itself the best indication of the
human trend toward common interests and
common understandings.
Newspapers have been the first to use
every new device by which space can be less
ened or, in a sense. eliminated altogether.
Airplanes served in the war To carry news
before they carried mail.
1t is not unnatural, therefore. that the
EVENING PUDLIC LEDGER should add an
experienced pilot to its news gathering staff
and a fast plane tO its permanent equip
ment.
The departure is new in Philadelphia
II is one that will be attended with varying
degrees of success, since, because of the
scarcity of landing fields, air travel is no
simple ma tier. But there are occasions when
q news organization is temporarily baftied by
the knowledge Of great events shaping just
beyond the immediate reach Of railways
wires or motorcars. Such was the occasion
when a naval submarine sank recently be-
yond the Delaware capes.
From this on nothing that happens within
q radiut of a hundred miles will be more
than an hour away from this Office. Pic
lures of the first world series gume brought
from the field yesterday through steady gales
represent the first achievement Of the Led.
gers aerial news service.

participation in sports. For example. Law
son Robertson, the track coach, now mas
rolls just as the gymnasium instructors have
rolls, on which he keeps record OF the
different mems work When they first come
out to him, he finds out what they have done
along certain lines and makes them pass
preliminary test.
Then he tells them the mark or record
which they must achieve before the end OF
the year. This was determined by taking
the average Of a thousand students in the
particular branch in question, whether 1t be
shot putting running or high jumping.
THE man then practices three times a
week in order to achieve the desired mark.
For the first time we have been able, be-
cause of this system, to introduce regular
marks In different sports instead Of giving a
straight passing mark to every student. A
man who makes the varsity team in football
now receives d, or distinguished grade for
his work, just as he would receive similar
mark for excellent work in English or Latin.
And We are keeping our squads together
throughout the year instead of cutting them
of as soon as the varsity team is chosen.
Last year we kept 400 men in swimming and
100 men in football up to the end Of the sea
son. This year we will be able to keep 300
football players through to the finish.
we will be able to do this better when
the playing fields which we are building along
the Schuylkill river by the South street
bridge are completed, so that We can take
the pressure off Franklin Field. The re :
suit Will be to give all men an added incen !
tive and fairer chance In all branches of
sport without weakening to the least degree
the strength OF the various teams"

The Deserted Garden

FINDER the sagging arch OF vines
u The rustic gate still swings,
And Just inside, a gnarled old tree,
In which q redbird sings.
Down grass grown paths where long ago
The sweet alyssum marked the way,
The vine -entapgled dial stands
Shadowless through the day.
The crumbling fountains song is stillet
The bowl is filled with sodden leaves;
The old stone seat, moss stained and gray,
For old companions mutely grieves.
Only wandering butterfly
Comes near to kiss the rose,
Or quivering silver humming bird
Dips where the poppy grows.
Through msts Of hlyery, shadowy dusls
In hours Of deepening gray,
The hapuv spirits steal ndown
The old remembered way;
There phantom sweethearts keep their tryst
Beneath the sheltering boughs,
And whispered benedictions rise
In loves replighted vows.

as lopsided incomplete. The verdict is
sound without the attribute Of univer-
salty the league, despite the estimable prin-
cipies espoused, becomes simply an alliance
Of powers. ...
1t Ia not because there Is special mo =

because the interests of this country signifi-

FUSION VS.. BUNK

THE fiction that distinctively local issues
- must necessarily be viewed from national
party angles has long been helpful to the
unsavory cause Of machine politics. The
Wares, for instance, dote on the idea, haze
cultivated It nssiduously and have made the
most of It as dust throwing instrument.
Reflections cast upon oigarchic methods In
the government Of Philadelphia have been
Indignantly interpreted as aspersions upon
Republican national platforms. 1t Ii amnS-
ing how often this ancient dodge has worked,
pince the slightest investigation Of the sub
jett would reveal it's absurd insincerlty.
The common sense analysis OF the situn-
tion that has arisen in connection with the
vacancy recently created in the Council
through the death Of William +. Finley is
therefore decidedly in order. Charles j.
Pommer is the Ware candidate, and doubt
less much will be heard concerning the ne
cegsity for a protective tariff, Of revision
Of federal taxes and of settlement Of un-
finished war issues, to all Of which the re-.
suit Of the coming local election Is absolutely
unrelated.
The antidote to such nonsense. both now
and on similar occasions. Is fusion Of oppos.
ing political forces without regard for ma
tional party alignments. The local Demo.
Gratis and the Moore supporters hare wisely
embraced promising opportunity IN the
Endorsement II the same candidate, James
Ga her. ~unning In the First Council
manic district.
Judging by the last presidential election
here, when the Democrats polled IL 1,7S4
votes to 23,7sS for the machine opposition.
there are chances Of Success in the new COM
bination with the Moore men. Victory,
moreover. would mean a very serious weak
cning Of the Ware power in the Council,
possibly the end OF the obstructionary tactics
which have already so much embarrassed
the administration.
In any event, the revival Of the fusion
principle Is welcome and healthy. Had the
Democrats behaved thus sanely in 1910
Tener would not have been elected Governor
Of Pennsylvania, for the combined votes for
Berry and Grim far exceeded those Of the,
winner.
The Democrats, who are weak In the
greatest Republican city in America, simply
increase their futility by allowing fantastic
party allegiance to stand in the way Of
powerful reform combinations: and Repub-
leans, deluded By phrases and rubber stamp
slogans, simply misconceive the nature of
municipal politics.. When this Is duly di-
vorced from national lines and local ques-
tions are considered strictly on their merits,
the reputation Of city government in America
will be vastly enhanced.

WHY THE LEAGUE IS DOUBTED

THE belief entertained when the league
l. covenant was framed. that Germany
would be keenly desirous Of joining the asso-
cintion Of nations, Is not sustained In two
significant pronouncements from Berlin.
Herr Won Prittwitz, representing the Ger
man foreign office, told the German Peace
Association In Berlin the other day that his
government was not at present longing for
membership. Similar views were expressed
in the influential and official newspaper vor-
waerts. .. .. . ..-.
In both instances the reasons given were
