state Motorists Paid
More Than Million In
Gas Taxes In August

Motorists of Maryland paid rec
ord gasoline taxes during the
month of August, according to a
statement of gasoline tax receipts
issued by Comptroller ]. Willard
raves. The statement showed
that motorists consumed 27y346,-
,91 gallons of gasoline and paid
81 O93, 844.84 to the State.
"We collected in August the
greatest amount of gasoline tax
which has been received by this
department since the imposition
If the gasoline tax" said Mr..
Tawes. "This record payment by
motorists convinces me that with
the complete cessation of diver
sion as brought about by this Ad-
ministration, Maryland can look
forward to a new deal in high
vays. Another remarkable thing
about this huge collection which
should prove interesting is the
fact that it was collected at an
administration expense of less
than $4,000"

Notice Of Intention
To Purchase Land

In accordance with Chapter 208,
Section 1854 of Article 16, of
the Public School Laws of Mary
land, as provided by the Acts of
the General Assembly of 1885, the
Board of Education hereby gives
notice by publication of it's inten-
ton to purchase five acres of land
adjoining the school in Poolesville,
Maryland, from Harry E. Stevens
and Bertha L. Stevens, his wife,
at cost of $500. per acre. The
said land will extend approx
mately $50 feet to the East so as
to include a small barn and be-
tween lines approximately parallel
to and $50 feet from the East
line of the school property and a
continuation on the public road
leading to Edwards Ferry, said
line to continue for such dista,ce
as to include five acres.

hearted advocate of the system of
'Workman's and Soldiers Councils
on the Russian model.
In Berlin, Karl Liebknecht advo-
Gated an even more vicious form
Of bolshevism. On the other hand,
Eisner's dictatorship in Munich
finally led to the setting up of the
really communist "Republc" in
Munich in April 1918. At that time
there was a "red army" and also
a revolutionary tribunal. The men
at the head of this regime were al
most exclusively writer's: Lavien
Levine Nissen, Muhsam, Teller and
Landauer, of whom the first named
had just been imported from Mos
COW. Under this new system of
government, serious outbursts &C.
Cured which led to a confagration
on the largest public square in
Munich, and finally even to the
brutal murder by the Communists
in the Luitpold Gymnasium of 10
hostages, all of whom were abso-
lutely innocent citizens. 1t was
only by employing armed regi-
,nents that an end was put to this
bloody dictatorship.
There was cunningly developed
murder organization founded by
Hans Kippenburger, who is also
regarded as the intellectual author
of the murder of Horst Vessel,
the hero of the National Socialist
Movement. Horst Vessel plays a
very significant part in the make
up of the Third Reich. His name
was immortalized in a hymn which
became the theme tune of Hitler's
National Socialist Party. 1t was
bitter hatred of these foreign in
vaders that inspired Hitler to or
ganize the N. S. D. A. P. (the
German workers party of National
Socialists).
,, From 1928 until 1888, when he
was finally politically victorious,
Hitler had fought against Com.
ntunism. In 1888, with official
power in his hand for the first
time, Hitler went out to eradicate
every vestage of Communism from
the Reich. His actions along these
lines are well known throughout
the world.
With all this in mind it is very
difficult for one to conceive the
paradoxical situation which Hitler
has created by his stunningly con-
Trajectory statement: 81 have
finally succeeded in bringing Rus
STA and Germany together.
1t all goes to prove the good old
American saying "Politics makes
strange bedfellows".

many he chased most of the COM
munist agitators out of the coun-
try.
That he acted just in time was
proved by later developments. In
the districts of Harz, Andreasberg
ana Glausdal, death lists drawn up
| by communists were found. At
tached to each list was an ominous
order presumed to be sent direct
from Moscow:
"to be arrested Immediately and
shot on the market place. The
citizens must witness the execu-
ton. If they do not appear vol
unfairly, they must be compelled
to do so by force"
These death lists clearly indi-
Gated that massacres similar to
Russian programs would have
taken place if Adolph Hitler had
not crushed these would-be MUIR
derers before the elimination of
their plots.
However the squashing Of this
gigantic plot did not entirely
quench the smouldering fred" fires
which burned "sub-rosa" through
out Germany. Communism had a
great hold. Its doctrines had been
spread even before the close of the
World War. Bolsheviki propaganda
lists had emigrated from Moscow
and made a tie-up with a group in
Germany, known as the Independ-
emit Socialists, even before the rev.
clution of November 1918 when
the nation was still in the struggle
for the defense of her own soil.
The bolshevik ambassador re-
minded the Peoples Representa-
tive, Hugo Haase, in December
1918, that the international Social
Democratic Party had received fin
ancial assistance from him for the
printing of literature. This connec-
ton between Russia and Germany
was maintained by DR.. Oskar
Cohn, member of the Reichstas
and ambassador. Cohn had received
from him the sum of 10 million
rubles for the express purpose Of
instigating the German Revolution
1t was about this time that Kari
Radek took over the dissemination
of bolshevist propaganda.
The bolshevist menace reached
its height in Munich, capital OF
Bavaria. Here the leader of the
movement was Kurt Eisner. He
was one of the "defeatists" who
had attacked his own country in
the rear by means of agitation be-
fore the Armistice. AS early as the
summer and autumn of 1918, when
the fighting at the front was still
st it's height, an appeal was made
to worzmen in the munitions fac
tories to strike and organize the
revolution. Eisner was a whole
