son had been given charge of the First
Confederate Regiment, the Southern
contingent of the "Old Maryland
Line" now advancing on the First
Federal Regiment, the Northern con-
tingent of that famous line, from
which Maryland gets one of her Sob
riquets, commanded by General Ken

the line of gray charged the piekets
and the companies in Front Royal,
forcing them back upon the main body
of Kenly's command.
The Confederate attack was for
time checked as they crossed an open

were supported by the famous Louisi.
ana "Tigers" and the Maryland Fed
erals by squadron of New York
Cavalry. But the advance was not
permanently halted, for after making
gallant stand, Henley was advised
that Confederate cavalry had made its
appearance on his right and rear. In
the face of this almost sure defeat
he gave the command to retire. In the
retirement, Marylanders were pursued
by Marylanders, each reinforced by
the other regiments. The camp sup
plies of the Federals were given over
to the flames and crossed bridges were
attempted to be destroyed with partial
failure.
General Jackson himself now APP

Soon a fording place was found and
the stream swarmed with Confederate
cavalry. Kenly retreated to CEDAR
vile, some five miles to the east and
ordered the pursuit checked. A wither-
ing fire was turned upon the advancing
squadron, which temporarily checked
the pursuit. But to no avail. The
courageous and gallant Kenly was
not given time to fix bayonets and
form a front.
In the midst of the fight, calling
upon his men to rally around the
colors, he was badly cut about the
head by Confederate private and was
forced to surrender.

LOOKING SOME FACTS in
THE FACE

In asking that the National Demo-
cratic party declare itself on the pro-
hibition question, and require Demo-
cratic candidates for Congress in all
the districts of the country to stand
by this declaration, Chairman Raskob
in his zeal for the repeal of the Eigh-
teenth Amendment, is asking what
every person of common sense knows
is impossible. ~1.
National party committees and con-
ventions lack this authority. In face
of the fact, especially that nominal
lions are made by primary in most
states, they are in no position to con-
troll the platforms of local candi-
dates.
Therein lies the ineffectiveness, and
even the hypocrisy of much of the
discussion of prohibition as a party
issue. It is not a matter of fact an
issue between the parties. The DEM
ocrats and Republicans have wet con-
stituencies in many districts of the
East and North, and dry constituent
cies in the West and South. Any ma
tional platform declaration by either
party on the question of prohibition
is meaningless, because candidates for
the House and Senate in dry states
and districts are not going to run
counter to what they know to be pub
lie sentiment, and vice versa. If they
do, they are not going to be elected,
and getting elected is one of the OBJ
jectives of a candidate.
If the Democrats in their next ma
tional convention declare against pro-
hibition, still they will send to Con-
gress enough dry members of the
House and Senate to prevent congress
sional action. If the Republicans de-
clare for prohibition, nevertheless

The result of the battle brought no
disgrace or censure on Kenly, but the
result of the battle was owing to the
impetuosity of the Confederate charge
and the genius of Jackson.
Kenly was promoted to the rank OF
brigadier-general on the following

Front Royal.
In this fight father was arrayed

cans who will declaim against prohi-

Prohibition is now, and is going to
remain, local issue. Action upon it
will depend upon the attitude of in

and their attitude will reflect majority
sentiment among their own constit-
uents.

day following 12-to-7 triumph
over the Wolfpack of North
Carolina State at Raleigh, and cock Of
the campus was Halfback Tom Whelan.
Whelan took pass from Quarter
back Johnny Oliver and ran 50 yards
across the goal to give the Cardinals a
lead in the first quarter, and In the
second chapter he clinched victory, as
it turned out, with an 80-yard dash
for touchdown after intercepting a
pass.
TWO consecutive 15-yard penalties
i backed the Cardinals to their own
goal in the second quarter and en-
abled the Wolfpack to score by means
kicked. and the ball was blocked by
Bob Greason, an end, who retrieved it
in the end zone.
The Cardinals were haraSsed by pen
alties, due in the main to tight timing
of It's backheld shift by the officials.
The two penalties that led to the Wolf
packs touchdown were charged to back

through rule violation, against 80 for
its opponent.
CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY made a
