Hardhead are now taking bats

ranged from 212 to 3A pounds.
Good catches also have been made
in the lower Patuxent from
Broome Island to the mouth of

latter part of the hardhead season
may redeem the popularity of the
sport of catching them. The early
part of the season certainly has
been nothing to brag about.

Safe for Democracy
Events moved so swiftly and
Germany so heedlessly in 1917
that President Wilson, a month
after his Inauguration, stood be-
fore Congress and declared that
"the right is more precious than
peace" The world, he said, must
be made safe for democracy. On
Good Friday, April 6, the United
States was at war with Germany.
Russia, the same month, was
at war with herself. Revolution
broke out March II and Car
Nicholas abdicated. Bolsheviks
seized Petrograd the following
November to oust the Kerensky
government. Nikolai Lenin became
Premier and Leon Trotsky Foreign
Minister.
For all intents and purposes
Russia was out of the war. The
new leaders agreed on an armistice
with the Central Powers in De-
cember and subsequently signed
the treaty of Brest- -Litovsk.
For over -the-top purposes the
United States did not participate
in the war for several months to
come, Gen. Pershing arrived in
London and went to Paris, where
an aide uttered the perfect bon
mot. Lafayette, we are here" The
1st Division landed lover there"
in June, while men at home regis
tered for conscription.
President Wilson hailed 1918 by
outlining to Congress a 14-point
program of war aims and the as
surance of lasting peace.
First Armistice
With Marshal Ferdinand Foch,
commander in chief of Allied
forces in France, American SOL
diers increasingly took places in
the battle sectors. Gen. Pershing
triumphed in his insistence on
formations and fighting by Ameri-
can armies under American lead
ers.
Chateau-Thierry, Belleau Wood,
the Aisne-Marne and the ST..
Mihiel salient. where a United
States Army conducted its first
great offensive, became household
words and helped to keep the
home fires burning.
Most of the 1000 900 Americans
actually modified, including O.
10000 draftees, saw little if any
combat action or got anywhere
near Flanders fields.
The armistice, effective at II
am. November II, loosened
unprecedented and unparalleled
demonstrations of joy and relief.
Sober thought fingered for the
millions of dead in every country
and the billions in war damage.
The United States counted its dead
at $1,000. It remembered them
then and forever after in an i'm
pressive service on Armistice Day,
1921, at Arlington National Gene

had fled to Holland, Emperor
