SHORT LINE FALL SCHEDULE.
A Trial Of Two Weeks PIeases
Public.

After a trial of nearly two weeks
of the Jew fall and winter schedule
of the Annapolis Short Line, the man
agement IS more than pleased with
the showing under the existing cod
ditiJns. The travelling public seems
to have had, with few exceptions, no
difficulty in adopting itself to the
slight change in the schedule, and
the great increase in the business of
the road seems to have justified the
change made.
May compliments and but few
complaints have been received since
the adoption of the new schedule and
the addition of two trains seems to
have met with instant response. A
train leaving Baltimore at $50
O'Clock in the evening is one of the
additional trains not contained in the
old schedule and one which has been
found exceedingly popular. This
train is duplicated by one leaving
Annapolis at the same hour.
Travel has shown a pleasing in
crease and at times it has been found
necessary to have every piece of
equipment on the road in operation
in order to care for heavy traffic
during certain periods.

SKELETON MAST FAVORED.
Will be Retained on BattIeships, it Now
is Believed.

The skeleton mast will be retained
in the United States Navy. That
this be done is the recommendation,
it is understood, contained in the re-
port of the special board appointed
some time ago to make practical tests
as to the strength of the skeleton. or
cage, mast as compared with the old
fashioned tubular or military mast.
Tests were made early in Septem-
Der on a skeleton mast erected on the
old San Marcos, formerly the battle
ship Texas, in Tangier Sound, Ches-
apeake Bay. The mast was torn to
pieces but noe until a considerable
number of shots had been fired at it.
While the board has not made a
final report, it was learned that pre-
liminary report revealed nothing
which would call for any change in
the present battleship plans, which
call for cage masts on the warships
now building the members of the
board are widely scattered, 1t may be
month or more, it was said, before
the final report is ready.

WHEN UNCLE SAM WAS YOUNG
Picture Stories Of Revolution War
Times at Colonial Theatre Tonight.

Manager Irons has arranged an
other treat for his patrons tonight,
and it promises fair to be one remem-
bered. "When Uncle Sam Wss
Young" is a beautiful and very rea-
listic story of the olden days during
the Revolutionary War, and is told
in two reels. by the Bison Company.
1t is irresistably exciting and the
real 1876 spirit oozes out of every
inch of this tremendous photo play
success. You will go wild with patri-
otic enthusiasm when you see the SER
les of sensational Revolutionary War
scenes, and hear the special music ar
ranged especially for this picture. No
expense has been spared to make this
the most realistic feature picture, and
hundreds of Indians and soldiers were
employed besides the regular staff of
stars of this company.
1t is staged with dramatically
sensational military realism. The
Boston Tea Party and the Battle of
Bunker Hill are two decided features.
There is a very pretty love story in
terwoven that adds greatly to the his
torical and memorable events so dear
to us all.
The other photo play is "The Un-
known Bride, Rex drama, and a
mighty good story of the sacrifice of
an actress which afterwards results in
her good fortune. In addition to this
special feature picture program
there will be two clever vaudeville
acts. making an exceptionally large
bill at the regular price of admission.
Pickett and Brown offer very pleas
ing singing and dancing act, kid act

about as many laughs and merry mo-
ments as can be packed into fifteen

NEW RULING IN NAVY.
Young Officers VIII be Assigned to
GunbOat Duty.

All young officers in the Navy will
hereafter serve at least one year on
gunboats duty, according to a new
plan of detailing announced at the
Navy Department recently.
The Navy Department regards
gunboat duty as highly important,
because the gunboat officers are
thrown on their own resources to
larger extent than on the battleships
and more quickly learn self-reliance
and confidence in their own abilities.
In the future the period of duty for
all gunboat officers, except the COM
mander, will be one year. At the
end of this period they will be or
dered to the battleships and armored
cruisers.
With this new system a greater
number of officers will have the ad-
vantage of gunDoat training than is
now the case. The officers will have,
while on gunboat duty, larger indi-
vidual responsibilities and range du-
ties. 1t is expected the new plan of
one year details will make gunboat
duty more popular, as such assign
ments will not hereafter mean long
separation from the fleet.
A number Of tie ensigns Of the
class of 1911 are now detailed to the
gunboats. This gives them a distinct
advantage over their classmates not
so detailed, as these ensigns imme-
diately become watch and division
officers, with quarters in the ward
room. For this reason only those
who have proved special efficiency at
sea in the last year are being chosen.
At the end of the year they will re-
turn to the battleships.
1t is expected that the same policy.
somewhat modified, will also be ap-
piled to the destroyers. In this SER
vice, however, young officers will be
allowed to remain two years if they
choose.
