AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today British and
Canadians advanced on the Scarpe
continuing the offensive that had
been launhed to divert German atten-
ton for the French attack in the
South. But the latter was halted, al
ready a failure.
U. S. S. Mexico, first battleship de-
signed to be propelled electrically,
was launched at New York navy yard.

After three weeks consultation with
British, French and Italian Cabinets,
Herbert Hoover announced in Eng:
land: 1.-THE first and most important
duty of the American people to their
allies is to economic on foodstuffs.
If we do not do it, we stand a great
chance of losing the war, because our
allies can't fight without food. Our
enemies are calculating that America
will fail in this and our allies will
need to give in. America can unset

TODAY,S YESTERDAYS

April %, 1860-The most momentous
political convention in American his
tory ended at Charleston, S. c., on the
18th birthday of Stephen A. Douglas
and the 10th birthday of the encum-
bent Democratic President Buchanan.
1t is one of the assumptions of his
tory, and to an extent justified by the
election figures, that had the Demo
cratic convention in Charleston unit
ed on Douglas, or any other candi-
date except Buchanan, he would have
been elected over Lincoln.
Delegates could not, however, in 81
ballots unite on Douglas, and his NOM
ination was the signal for Southern
delegations to take walk" and NOM
mate John C. Breckenridge of Ken
lucky, as an independent Democratic
candidate. Still another split caused
John Bell of Tennessee to get 80 cleo
torial votes. The combined Demo
cratic vote was so per cent more than
the Republican total that elected Lin
coin!
Douglas blunder, unmatched in our
political history was in not permitting
southern delegates to dictate the plat
form. If he had, they would not have
become alienated, and he probably
would have been elected. AS we know
a President doesn't pay much atten-
ton to platform anyway.
History offers no more fascinating
basis of speculation than what would
have happened if Douglas had been
elected. What do you think?

CHAPTER 9

KENNEDY'S eyes travelled round
his surgery. He was well satisfied
with what he saw. The walls, pa
pered in an off white Of dull finish,
were restful to the eye and scrupu-
lously clean. They were bare save
for q couple Of good prints, unob-
trusively framed. There was not
much furniture q red mahogany
table on which was set out some
carved ivory Of perfect workman
ship, a mahogany roll-top desk with
a swivel chair, the Chinese screen,
black and gold, and Of course the
dentists chair and apparatus. The
lower pane of. the window opposite
this was f1tted with a bit Of Ger
man glass, stained in light colors,
and on this a horned animal, I'M
known to zoology. disported itself.
Patients were often unable to keep
their eyes off this animal, were, in
fact, hypnotized by it, and Ken
nedy was convinced that it often
made his work q lot easier.

Adams went downstairs, and
Kennedy passed into the waiting
room. Everything was in spotless
order. The current numbers Of
Punch, The Spectator, The Sketch,
The Illustrated London News,
The Motor, London Opinion. and
The Humorist, lay on the table, also
the days Times, Daily Mail, and
Daily Mirror. Nothing else. He
looked at The Times for a few
minutes, and then refolded it care
fully. ~
When he returned to the surgery
the daffodils were already there.
Adams had filled the blue vase
with water, but he had punched the
flowers shoclxingly = he had no
taste. Kennedy arranged them to
his liking with a few deft, finicking
touches.
Presently he heard the down.

later Adams ushered in Master

knees showing between his gray

AUTO LAW VIOLATORS TO
HAVE LICENSES REVOKED
Commissioner Makes Statement
After Increase in Fatal
Accidents

Mr.. Walter r. Rudy, Commissioner
of Motor Vehicles, released a state
ment yesterday that beginning Janu.
airy 25th, all motor vehicle operators
who are convicted on the following
cherges:
Failing to obey traffic signals,
Failing to stop for boulevard signs,
Speeding,
Reckless driving,
will have their operating licenses sus-
pended. The minimum suspension fol-
the first offense will be days; longer
periods for habitual offenders will be
left to his discretion. It is the opin-
ion of Mr.. Rudy that something dras-
tic must be done to cope with the ap-
palling increase in both fatal and other
automobile accidents.
This ruling will be in effect in Balti-
more City and all counties throughout
the State of Maryland at long as the
Commissioner deems it necessary.
