PLAN NAVAL DEMONSTRATION:
Atlantic Fleet May Attend Canal
Celebration.

Officials Of the Navy Department
already are making tentative plans
for the repre- sentation Of the navy at
the proposed celebration Of the for-
NAL opening of the Panama Canal, IN
1915.
1t is expected that this session OF
Congress will authorize the Presi-
dent to take such action as viii in
sure a notable demonstration on the
water. Ii is felt that the Atlantic
feet should head the line of vessels
TO make the trip from the east 70 the
west coast by way of the canal. Sew
eral bills with that end in view al
ready have been introduced IN the
House and Senate. It is now pro-
posed that the line made up of Amer
lean and visiting foreign wsrships
shall be supplemented by passenger
steamers and merchant vessels.
The column would necessarily be
in command of the highest ranking
naval officer on the active list that
year, which officer probably would be
the commander ia chief of the Attain
tic fleet. The place of mobilization
probably will be Hampton Roads,
which is easily accessible for foreign
shiIs and where there is ample room
for all vessels. The Navy Department
is taking keen interest in the pro-
ject. and everything will be done to
make the event a notable one, as far
as the navy is concerned.

Little Children Read "The Capiiar'

even little children read The Capt.
tai, so popular is the little home pa
per. An evidence of this occurred a
day or two ago. An Annapolis wo-
man who is the happy mother of two
boys, and is called by some of her
friends 1.-The Mother of the Gracci, ="
always reads from The Capital at
rights to her boys.
The other night she read plea for
the Empty Stocking Club. The boys
were deeply interested and at once
said they wanted to give some of their
toys, games and books to the poor
children, whose stockings will not be
filled at Christmas. The mother told
her boys she would help them choose
the toys and 20 with them to the head
quarters of the Empty Stocking Club,
l79 Duke of Gloucester street.
Impatient in their zeal to give
their toys, the two little fellows
gathered together their bundle Of
toys when their mother was away
from home, and looked up a Capital
to get the address, and took their
bundle themselves. When their
mother came home they told her what
they had done. "How did you know
where to go" inquired the mother of
the boys. 1--WE just looked in The
Capital and found out, " they replied.

None of the fourth-class postmas-

LITTLE JIMMY.
A Real Live Baby to be Given Away
at Colonial Theatre.

Little Jimmy -, with his two
brothers and little sister, was very
happy in theif humble home in the
country near Baltimore. He was an
exceptionally bright little fellow and
the neighbors made much over him
and predicted future that would far
eclipse his brothers. He was the pet
of everybody, even the rough farm
hand would pick him up and carry him
down to the woods and watch him
play and creep around under the big
trees. In fact, he was spoiled and he
is headstrong little fellow and, like
all spc lied babies, wants his own way.
But happiness. it seems, was not
meant for little Jimmy, tor one day
his father and mother were both kill
ed. Perhaps some of our readers may
have read of the tragedy which so
cruelty left little Jimmy an orphan
among strangers. The brothers and
sister we're fortunate in finding homes
soon after, but Jimmy. taken care Of
by the arm hand for a time, must now
find a permanent home"
This is the baby that will have
home found for it on next Friday
evening. Watch The Capital for a
pictdre of Jimmy, if one can be made
in time, it will be published before
that night
