economy, as he has done before. He
probably will fulfill his promises if
elected as ne has fulfilled them in the
past by drawing upon the people for
even larger sums of money and spend
ing it in part, at least, in creating new
positions, charging salaries and de-
veloping his own political power"
William c. Coleman, Republican
candidate for Attorney General, and
State Senator David A. Robb, of Cum
berland, also addressed the meeting,
their speeches being we'll received and
heartily applauded.
The motto of the campaign, as set
forth by the several speakers of the
evening was Law and Order and the
Enforcement of the Law"
Mr.. Armstrong laid special stress
upon this motto and pledged his aid,
if elected to the high office of Gov
ernor to enforce all laws of the State
and stand by the Constitution of the
United States and the amendments
thereto to the very end, ami by him
this State would be made a more de-
cent place in which to live.

st. Peters Church Notes,

A very beautiful and impressive
ceremony took place in St. Peters
church in Oakland at the early morn
ing service on Sunday last when a
hundred or more of the women of the
parish received the sacrament of the
holy communion in a body. This Gus
tom is not of recent origin, as this
particular devotion to the Queen of
Heaven found favor long ago in many
of the larger city parishes where in
confraternity the ladies were banded
together under the title of the Sodal-
ity of the Blessed Virgin. The pas
tor, Rev. John F. Eckenrode, took the
initial step toward inaugurating a
Sodality in the local parish church
some days ago and appointed the third
Sunday of each month for the women
of the Sodality to receive in body,
and on such times they will occupy re-
served seats located in the center aisle
of the church. Their reception in the
order will in all probability occur in
the near future, much to the edifca-
ton of the members of the parish in
general.
A Holy Name Society is also being
organized for the men of st, Peters,
and like the Sodality, has also been
established in we'll regulated parishes
for many years. Membership cards
were distributed to the men on Sun
day and those who received them
pledged their honor in maintaining
the reverence and respect due to the
Most Holy Name of Jesus. The recep-
ton of the men will also follow in due
time. ST. ELMO.

ENGINE WITH TWO MEN
IN RIVER AT BREEDLOVE
Both Engineman and Fireman
Escape With Slight Injuries

An engine and one lumber or log
car from Crellin to Shaffer, West Va,
in charge of Engineer Samuel Kiper
and Fireman Paul Wilt, both of Crel-
lin, fell into the river Tuesday after
noon at BreedlOve, West Va, when
the bridge over which the locomotive
and car were passing, gave way.
Kiper escaped with slight injuries,
while Wilt received one broken rib
and other sighter injuries. The car
fell on top of the engine and how the
men escaped death is remarkable. The
railroad is owned and operated by the
Kendall Lumber Company at Crellin
over which is transported the logs to
the mill at Crellin from the woods
south Of Breedlove.

A Statement From Attorney p.
A. NaylOr.

MI. y. II. SInceIl, Editor,
The Republican,
Oakland, Maryland.
Dear Mr.. Sincell:
Will you kindly permit me sufficient
space in your paper to answer
question asked me in the local
column of last weeks issue of the
Democrat?
They want to know why l withdrew
from the Republican ticket as candi-
date for States Attorney. The wri-
ter of the article, whoever it was,
went on to say that, quotign from
well known CD breakfast food man
ufacturer, "There is a reason for it."
The writer of that article could not
have been the editor Of the Democratic
paper because man in the printing
and advertising business would Ger
tainly know that there is no break
fast food manufacturer using the
words there is d reason for it," as q
SlOSdI' luCIe IS reason IOf my
withdrawing and it is this: At the
time l did withdraw l thought it ex-
pedient and for the best interest of
the Republican party.
| would also like to correct the
writer of that article when he men
toned Mr.. Ernest Ray Jones as the
TAX assessor Mr.. Jones is not nol
was he the tax assessor. He was
merely acting in an advisory capacity
and is in no way to blame for the in
creased assessment. 1t is very mis-
leading to the voters of this county
to say that he is or was tax assessor
or that he raised any ones assess
ment. The people of this county can
blame no other than the present State
Tax Commission, which is composed
Of three Democratic members al
pointed by your present Democratic
Governor. The members of this COM
mission have the power to say VIVA
the rate and assessment shall be and
in them rests the final decision.
Very truly your,
PLAYFORD A. NAYLO2.

THE DEATH RECORD.
MRS. LAVONA CAMPBELL


Mrs. Lavona Campbell, wife of Rev.
Elmer E. Campbell, pastor of the
Bittinger Lutheran congregation,
died suddenly at the Lutheran parson-
age in the village of Bittinger, Md,
on Friday morning, October 10Th, at
two thirty o'clock, as the result of
paralysis. Mother Campbell was in
her fifty-eighth year. She was a
native of Indiana and came to this
pastorate with her husband more than
two years ago. During her sojourn
among US she manifested all the
traits of a noble Christian woman and
mother. She was her husbands
faithful co-wOrker, was active in all
good works, and greatly endeared
herself to all the people with whom
she came in contact in her various
Christian activities. The sudden call
ing away of this noble woman is a
great loss to the entire community
and casts a great shadow over the
home SO untimely bereft. The de-
ceased is survived by a faithful hush
and, four sons and three daughters,
all of whom mourn the loss of
faithful and devoted wife and moth
er. May a great light shine into the
gloom that is about them now, and
the certain joy of glad reunion
cheer them and inspire to continued
activities in life's noblest activities.
Faithful, devoted, humble, serene,
These virtues make mother thrice
crowned queen.
Her life is not spent, it is not gone,
Eternal it stays, while time flows on.
Why should we weep, why pine in
gloom,
For Gods own hand has unbarred the
tomb.

Oakland Public Library Needs.

The Oakland Library, in its desire
to be of the greatest service to the
town, is cooperating with the High
School in helping to furnish to the
High School boys and girls the books
given them as required reading in the
various years Of their course. A few
of these books are already in the Ii
brary, but not many. The plan is to
have one special shelf in the library
called the High School shelf and on
this to place as many as possible of
the required books.
In order to do this we must appeal
to our patrons and friends for help.
If you own any Of the books in the
following list and are willing to give
them a wider use than is possible by
keeping them in your home, will you
give them to the library for the use
of the boys and girls?
Books may be left at the library
any Wednesday or Saturday, or on
other days they may be left with the
following members of the Library
Board; Mrs. VIM. K. Ofutt, Mrs. Paul
Naylor, Mrs. J. D. Hamill or Mrs.

POLISH TROOP Plan
ST|RS WAR THREAT
Lithuania to Fight if Neutral
Zone Is 0ccupied-BIock-
ade Would Follow.
By the Associated Press.


PARIS. ebruary IA threat of war
and a menace Of blockade were unex-
pected features OF today's meeting Of
the council OF the league Of nations.
NJ. Sidzikauskas, Lithuanian minister
to Germany, declared the Lithuanians
would not accept the decision OF the
league to allow the Poles to occupy a
part OF the neutral zone between the
two countries. He said they would use
force to prevent It.
NJ. Viviani of France said that in such
case the Lithuanian action would in
volve the imposition OF a blockade.
The council had adopted & resolution
entrusting the occupation OF the neutral
territory by forces divided about equally
between Poland and Lithuania. The
Lithuanians withdrew from the council
chamber after making their protest
without changing their attitude.
Occupation to Follow.
The Poles, 1t was announced by the
Polish delegation, would proceed to oc-
cupy their part Of the zone with troops.
The belief was expressed in league
circles that the Lithuanians were being
encouraged in their resistance by the
Russians.
The troubles Of the minority popula-
tions in Europe, particularly the German
minoritles in the territory attached to
Poland by the treaty of Versailles, oc-
cupied the attention of the council at
yesterdays session.
The Polish representative. Prof. Simon
Askenazy, appeared at the council s
morning meeting, which was held in
private. He took the position that the
relations of the Polish government with
the people residing in its territory con-
stituted an internal question over which
the league had no Jurisdiction.
The members OF the council were OF
the opinion that all such minorities were
under the Jurisdiction of the league, by
virtue of the treaty of Versailles and
decided, in principle, that the matter
should go to the permanent court Of
international Justice at The Hague.
The precise questions embodying the
points in dispute will be formulated In
private talks among the members of
the council, and final action is expected
tomorrow.
Premier Branting Of Sweden took
up the reparauon problem without
Offering any specific proposal, but to
learn IL the council would put it on
its program. The French opposed
such a discussion, as Premier Poin-
care had previously indicated they
would, and the council decided that
this was not an opportune moment I
to press the. matter.
AS the rules Of the council require
unanimity, there was no possibility
of favorable action; therefore, any
discussion was considered inadvisa-
BILE. 1t was made apparent, however,
that the council was in a receptive
mood should France at any time wish
to utilize the league machinery for
settlement OF the question.

TRAFFIC RULES SENT
FOR LEGAL APPROVAL
Proposals of W. P. Eno's Commit
tee Placed in Hands of Assist
ant Corporation Counsel,

The proposed set OF general traflc
rules for the guidance of motorists
and pedestrians in avoiding accidents
will be gone over by Assistant Cor
poration Counsel Ringgold Hart to
determine the extent to which they
conflict with existing police regnla-
tions.
This announcement was made by
Commissioner Rudolph yesterday
afternoon after he and Commissioner
Keller had conferred with Mr.. Hart
for nearly an hour.
The tentative set Of general rules
were submitted to the Commission
ers a few days ago by William p.
Emo. chairman of the committee APP
pointed by the city heads to study
the traffic situation here.
1t is Mr.. Eno's plan to print thou
sands of copies of these rules and
distribute them among motorists,
pedestrians and school children.
The Commissioners hope to get a
report from Mr.. Hart early next
week, after which they will decide
what action they should take on the
committees recommendations.

LIBERTY PLANE MOTOR
CALLED BACK NUMBER
Lieut.. Leighton Says Once Noted
Engine Has Been Surpassed
by Other Designs.

The widely known Liberty airpIane
motor has been surpassed by other
engines within the last few years.
which now occupy places far in the
front. Lieut. B. C. Leighton, in charge
of the design section Of the bureau
of naval aeronautics, so stated in a
paper presented before the Society of
Automotive Engineers at the Cosmos
Club last night.
States "Obvi0us Fact
Lieut. Leighton said the Liberty
motor was six or seven years old, and
that little or no changes had been
made to increase it's efficiency since
it was first designed. 1t was. there
fore, obvious that within this period
American engineers could have built
motors that now rank the Liberty in
every respect. Among these engines.
which now occupy leading place in
Leighton said. the Aeromarine U-S73,
the Wright E-4 and T-2, the Law
rance il (air-cooled) and the Curtiss
D-12.
The design section of the Navy,
Lieut. Leighton added. is now at
work remodeling the Liberty engine
to increase it's efficiency and power,
and experiments along this line are
now going forth. =
An illustrated lecture en- recent re-
search in aeronauticS was given by
George w. Lewis. executive officer OF
the national advisory committee for
aeronautics. Col. Pope Of the Motor
Transport Corps presided.
