The Fourth
Of July

Tuesday next Is the Glorious
Fourth, when we celebrate the birth
of Independence.
Year after year the old fashioned
Fourth of July with firecrackers and
sizzling rockets is becoming more
and more a memory. The Fourth
of July which the small boys and
girls awaited as eagerly as Christ
mas, has been transferred into an
independence Day of quiet and dig
nifty.
Safe and sane Fourths are pretty
well established. The great purpose
of Fourth of July observance is
not only to pay respect to the early
trainers of this government, but to
measure the patriotism of this with
that day; to determine whether this
nation has been true to the faith;
whether it's willingness to sacrifice
fof the common good, deserves
place with the sacrifices of the faith
ers of the nation.
To-day, as citizens of this great
nation, we believe we carry in our
hearts the same hopes and ambitions
as did our forefathers who battled
that their flag of thirteen stars and
thirteen stripes might be recognized
as Flag of Freedom. We are proud
to carry on with the spirit of indie
pendence Day.

War Prison
Camp In
Easton, Md.
German Prisoners Of
War To Work On
Farms And In
Canneries

At meeting of the Gamers of
Easton area it was decided to go
ahead with German prison camp in
Easton, and Howard Eley of Queen
Anne, was engaged to build the camp
at Federal Park, Easton.
This camp will house 4O2 German
prisoners and sixty or seventy Off
GERS. A large barbed wire fence will
be erected inside the present fence,
and in the enclosure will be erected
tents supplied by the Federal Gov
eminent. Each tent will house six
prisoners, and these will be under
constant guard of the U. S. Army.
About 60 or more officers will be u.s.
ed in guarding these prisoners, who
will be taken to their work in patches
of twenty, either in the canning
houses or on farms, where they are
needed.
Hot and cold water will be provid-
ed the prisoners for their kitchens as
we'll as the showers. The prisoners
will draw the same pay as civilians
If they work in the canning house
where the prevailing wage is SO cents
an hour, the Gamer will pay to the
Government SO cents an hour for the
prisoners work. OF this sum the pris-
oner will receive his prevailing wage
which the government pays him,
about 80 cents a day for privates.
The difference between the 80 cents
a day and SO cents an hour will be
used by the government in providing
food and clothing for the prisoners.
These prisoners are now in a camp
near Westover in Somerset county.
They are expected to arrive in Eas-
ton about the middle of July. About
siXty-seven tents will be required to
house these prisoners who will be
escorted to work by the guards and
after the days work is done brought
back to the camp where they will re-
main during the night. They will not
be given any liberties other than
what they get in the camp.
German prisoners have been work
ing elsewhere and are said to have
given entire satisfaction.

FEWER MEN
SEEN NEEDED
FOR SERVICE

Col. Henry G. Stanwood, State Sc
lective service director, has express
ed the belief that demand for draf-
tees for the armed services will taper
off within few months and become
stabilized at figure representing an
"appreciable" drop from the average
monthly total of men called up in
the last year.
He based his prediction on the
fact that CD the number of men
needed for normal requirements is
virtually stable and GU from now on
the number of casualties will be d1-
rectly reflected in the number of in
auctions.
Reports on the Normandy inva-
sion,'' said Colonel Stanwood, "indl-
cate that casualties were appreciably
less than anticipated Therefore, re-
placements for casualties will be the
major variable factor in the future.
'If we can hold casualties down,
there is every reason to believe that
inductions will level off at a much
lower figure than the level maintain
ed in the past IL months"
Colonel Stanwood said he believed
that the Navy, which includes the
Coast Guard and Marine Corps, will
be up to authorized strength within
a few months.
"The army is virtually at the de-
sired strength now. We have the fig
ures for July now, which indicates
slight tapering off in demand. 1t is
possible that the August quota will
represent a further easing up.
'If casualties continue lower than
anticipated, this will be reflected
shortly in a lessening demand for
inductions."

We cannot emphasize too strongly
that regardless of the size of the

quota, the Fifth War Loan will be a
fiat failure for you if you do not ex-

In this invasion hour our fighting

to the success of a war loan.
The slogan, Back the Attack
