A BRIDGE NEEDED OVER SOI 111
RIVER AT RIVERVIEW.
We agree with our correspondent,
Mr. Charles J Wilson, Rlvervlew,
Anne Arundel County, that a bridge is
needed over South River at Riverview
to take the place of the old ferry, as
ttdvocuted by him iu his letter pub
lished In this paper In the letter col
umn of the 4th instant.
Mr. Wilson says:
“During the past winter the
ferry has been dis-continued for
months while the expense went
on, and utter waste of no benefit
to anyone, and in previous milder
winters and even In summer it
has been necessary to ascertain
iu advance whether it was run
ning. for the least thing would
throw it out of commission. One
could not even be sure of making
lho return trip when successful
In going over, to say nothing of
the feeling of its not being per
fectly sare. Often the springing
up of a fresh west wind would
cause the ferryman to announce
that he would only take you
across at your own risk.”
If there was any reason at all for
adopting the ferry as a means of
travel over South River at Riverview.
which, of course, wits intended only
ns a temporary arrangement, surely
there are ton times more reasons now
that a permanent way should be
established.
Not only would a bridge be a safer
and a quicker way of travel over
South River, but It would serve to de
velop a section of farm and river
front property which must necessar
ily, under present conditions of
travel, remain isolated and more or
less undesirable. Although the dis
tance from Riverview to Parole Sta
tion Is not more than six miles, with
tho present antiquated ferry sys
tem, it Is a great inconvenience and
Joss* of time to those who are compell
ed to travel over it.
A bridge would not only be a safe
and quicker way of travel, but it
would make it possible for the peo
ple in that section to reach a market
for their products at all times.
We understand there is a bill now
pending In the Legislature to author
ized a bond Issue of $30,000 to erect a
bridge. The cost to operate the ferry,
it is understood, is about $1,200 per
year, which would be about the
amount required to carry a bond is
sue of $30,000, and if a bridge can he
built for this figure, we think it would
be a good investment and give the
people in that section what they just
ly deserve. They havo been ham
pered and inconvenienced for a long
time and if possible something ought
to be done for them.
We are not censuring the County
Commissioners for not having aband
oned the old ferry, because they have,
we believe, acted in the matter as they
considered it to be to the best inter
est of the people, but we are sure
they are open to conviction and will
be able to see the justice in the claim
of the people who have to use the
ferry.
We realise the difficulty that would
have to be encountered at the pres
ent time to build a bridge, because of
the high prices of materials and scarc
ity of labor, but it may be that some
way can he found to make this need
ed improvement.
In all probability the present South
River bridge will be taken over by
tho State Roads Commission and the
taxpayers of the county will be reliev
ed of the burden of its maintenance,
so that we could afford to help the
people at Riverview and all those
who have to travel that way.
We, therefore, trust that the pres
ent bill will become a law.
SECONDARY MARRIAGES IN
GERMANY.
Germany, anticipating the drain on
her population early in the war. urged
her soldiers to marry, enjoining mar
riage upon the women as a patriotic
duty. Tho government is now going
further iu its endeavor to arrest the
diminishing birthrate which has con
tinuously fallen since the war began.
Pamphlets advocating “secondary"
marriages are being circulated among
The troops with the tacit approval of
the officers These have been trans
lated and commented upon by papers
of other countries, although the Ger
man papers are signally silent on the
subject. Thus it appears, says the De
troit Free Press, that the circum
stances which followed the Thirty
Years War are to be repeated in or
der to fill the empty cradles in Ger
many.
The pecentage of illegitimacy has
| been high in the empire, owing to the
; financial restrictions as to marriage j
imposed upon military officers and the
higher classes. It is now proposed to
give unconventional connection a
semi-legal standing. One of these
pamphlets says married men should
contract alliances with unmarried
women, who are not only authorized,
but called upon to enter into such
unions. That is, to perpetuate her
military traditions, Germany would
make the women of the nation mere
vehicles of reproduction, “breeding
animals,” to provide for the future
needs of a German army, thus dedicat
ing children yet unborn to the Moloch
of war.
Germany, as we know, has violated
every rule of international law and
humanity in the present conflict, car
rying out her theory that any means
toward the designed end is justifiable.
Now her “kultur” would violate every
convention of religion and civilized
conduct, although one of these pam
phleteers takes the ground that “good
morals are only what the upper
classes of society approve.” Morality
must be at a low ebb in German up
per circles! Here is Protestant Ger
many sanctioning bigamy as a “duty.”
while Catholic Austria forbids the
circulation of this form of German
propaganda in her armies. *

Announcement
Announcement of the date of the
next draft is imminent. The Provost

and method of summoning the second
levy. The best opinion is that the first

the proposed changes, In the opinion

is that which will give him authority

number of men in Class A-l instead
of the total registered.
