order will go into use. The sys-
tenn is such that there is little or no

asking permission for a German

mission to the music band OF the
Kurassier Regiment of Seidlitz
Madgeburg No. z, Of the Imperial
German army, to enter the State OF
Maryland with side arms and in
uniform" The music corps is
coming to the United States to
give series of concerts. They
are classed by the Treasury Depart

nothing in the way to pass them
without arms. The governor says
he will give the desired permission
provided the band does not come
into the State infected with the
cholera.
