No definite clue was left by the
thief or thieves who broke into the
Wicomico High School building and
made way with a compound micro
scope and a typewriter, it is said. Po-
lice are puzzled to account for the
robbery.
Entrance was made into the north
class room on the first floor by break
ing the window glass. The typewrit-
er was removed from the commercial
room. The microscope was taken from
the science division.
Apparently attempts were made to
ransack other parts of the school,
but the plans were thwarted by lock-
ed doors. So far nothing else is miss
ing.
The loss was discoveredby the jani-
tor, James M. Bennett, superintend-
emit of schools, said that the micro
scope was valued at $125.00 and the
typewriter at $4,000. Both were in
good condition.
During the Christmas holidays an
unsuccessful attempt was made to
enter the High School building, Mr..
Bennett says.
The police have reached no conclus-
ion as to the time Of the robbery. The
building was occupied on Monday ev-
ening by session of the Parent
Teacher Association.

The Avon Hotel, Easton, Md, was
destroyed by flames Friday morning
of last week. The Hotel was located
on Dover and Harrison streets and
was in the center Of Easton's bust
ness section. For time the town
was threatened. Calls were sent out
for help to the fire departments of
nearby towns. Salisbury, Cam
bridge, Chestertown and Denton rush.
ed to the scene. The fire was under
control soon after the noon hour. The
hotel, which was wrecked, was a big
massive building filled with guests
and a number of apartments. Mr..
Fishburn was the manager. Fire
caught from the kitchen chimny. The
loss is estimated at upward Of $780,

Base Ball League, there will be many
new faces seen when the season
opens, most Of the teams having only
a nucleus to build upon. Fl
Furthermore only three-Easton,
Dover, and Parksley-have secured
managers; the first will be piloted by
Herzog; the second, by Donohue; and
the third, by Vic st. Martin. Sails
bury, Crisfield, and Cambridge are in
the market for leaders, and, if they
expect to take advantage Of any good
material in sight, it would seem the
part Of good judgment to secure COM
petent mentors.
AS said above, all the clubs are a.
bout on a par as to material, and this
fact may bring about equalization Of
playing talent, and make the pennant
struggle an exciting one.
The conference Of Maryland college
coaches, held at Baltimore recently,
will not bring about much inter-
change Of contests between the State
institutions this year, if the football
schedule Of st. Johns College, An
napolis is taken as a criterion. This
school plays only one other in the
State-Hoplxins University.
st. Johns, Of late years, has not
shown up very strong in athletics;
and this making up of her schedule
by what may be called foreign teams,
might indicate she prefers to be beat
en- by outside colleges rather than by
home rivals. She holds on to Hop
lins probably because if she should
slip over a win or tie, she feels her
season fairly successful; even a good
sound drubbing by Hopkins isn't as
bad as q whole season full of defeats
by other Maryland teams.
Washington College generally takes
en- more Maryland Elevens than any
other State school. She usually
schedules with Maryland University,
Western Maryland, Mt. st. Mary's,
and Loyola. She does not seem able
to connect with Hopkins or st. Johns.
Maryland University gives a place to
Washington and Hopkins. Western

"Red" Grange is still apparently
eluding his would-be tacklers on the
gridiron, and incidentally reaching his
goal of millionaire. His famous runs
are thrilling thousands and his team
is winning by reason of his prowess.
It will be interesting to follow the
reaction upon the various universe
ties Of Reds entrance into profession
al football. Already much talk is
heard in the colleges about over-em-
phasis Of football. Princeton, Har-
ward, and Yale are considering tri-
angular league, and it is more than
likely other schools will cut down on
schedules.

The same night thieves entered the
post office at Horsey but the loss is
said to have been slight. The Post
Office Department was notified at
once and it is likely that should the
post office robbers be apprehended II

Contracts for $1,632, 900 worth Of
road construction have been let by
the State Highway Commission. Bids
on the eleven projects included in the
first letting Of 1928 were opened al

Isaac Mills, farmer of Green Hill,

wife and child seriously injured when
a Baltimore, Chesapeake and Allan

mobile at grade crossing in Hebron,
Wicomico county, at 4.50 o'clock
Thursday afternoon Of last week.
Mrs. Mills and the 6-year-old son
were rushed to the Peninsula General
Hospital. The mother, suffering from
severe internal injuries, is not ex-
pected to live. The child has broll-

The family was returning from a
visit to Mills parents in Hebron and
had proceeded only few hundred
yards when the fatal crash occurred.
The car was carried fifty feet and

The fact that the crossing is not
obscured and the train had come al
most to a stop to discharge passen-
ger, leaves the circumstances of the
fatality unexplained.
The automobile was an open tour
ing car type. Mills foot was discov-
cred crushed in the transmission and
his body was not extricated until the
accident was reviewed by a coroner's
jury.

FOE IN i. s.
By H. 4. KNICKERBOCKER
international News Service

MOSCOW, March 6.--'.America
is the enemy" This is the lesson
Communists of the world assem-
bled here in the expanded plenum
of the Communist international
learned from their leader, Gregory
ZinovieV, when he delivered his
report summing up the forces
working for and against the world
revolution.
For the first time since the
flush of October, 1917, Zinoviev
admitted that the Communist In
ternational is on the defensive. Two
American forces appeared In his
report as the spearheads Of the
attack on communism, one, the
immense economic might of the
United States, and the other the
influence upon the European labor
movement Of the example set by
Americas system of labor aris-
tocracy."
OF the two elements dangerous
for communism, Zinoviev devoted
most attention to the American
ization Of the European labor move
ment.'
1.-THE United States" he said,
"has become the land of reformism,
and American methods are begin
ming to be transplanted to Euro
pean lands ! have an intuition
that the Western European coun'
tries do not realize what tre-
mendous role will be played by
this sort of Americanization.
I'm Germany we can already
see that they are holding up
American democracy as superior to
the Soviet Union. They are open
ing workers banks. and the ideal
OF Fordism is extolled by the So
cial Democrats instead of Marx
ism.
IAN attempt will be made to
transplant these so-called American
methods in all countries which
have a developed workers move
ment. The propaganda in favor
of Soviet Russia will be counter
acted by a propaganda in favor
of imperialistic America"
