TO FIGHT FIRES
IN ANNE ARUNDEL
Baltimore and Local Officials to
Sign Agreement
MAY USE FIREB0AT ONLY.
Baltimore Abe To Lead Assistance
From The Water FrOSt, But
Not On Shore

IL is probable that an agreement
will be signed between the Fire Board
Of Baltimore city and the Anne Arun-
del County Commissioners by which
FIRE protection will be furnished this
county by that city whenever possible.
This is the result of the efforts of
Mayor Preston, of BaltimC re city and
the Board of Fire Commissioners
the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association and others. This infor-
matin was contained in a letter which
the Anne Arundel Commissioners
yester Jay forwarded to Robert j.
Beaeham, secretary Of the Merchants
and Manufacturers Association, Bal
timore.
Just what will be the effect of such
an agreement it is as yet too early to
state. The city officials expressed
themselves as willing to enter into
such an agreement shortly after the
fire at the plant of the +. S. Register
Guano Company at Seawall, near
Curtis Bay, this county. At that
time the aid Of the fire boat Deluge
was asked, but was refused because
il was the only one then in service.
In few days, however, the Cataract
will be in fighting trim.
Whether or not the engines will be
able to reach the thickly settled
manufacturing district of Anne Arun-
del county is questionable, az the
Harbor Engineer has advised the Fire
Board that the Long Bridge leading
there will not support the weight of
the city engines. The following is
the letter which was sent to Mr..
Beacham yesterday afternoon:
Annapolis. Md, Feb. 8, 1914.
Robert j. Beacham, Esq, Secretary
Merchants and Maautactur ars' AS
sociation, Baltimore, Md:
Dear Sir-At a meeting of the
County Commissioners of Anne Arun-
del County held this morning was
directed to write you letter stating
that the board favorably considered
the suggestion made by you as to CO.
operation between the Fire Commits
si0ners Of Baltimore City and the
County Commissioners of Anne Arun-
lel SOuHty III the matter Oh ufeS oc-
curing in said county.
I was further instructed to say that
if you will prepare a draft of an
agreement along the lines of the
agreement with Baltimore county, as
mentioned by you to the Board this
morning, the agreement with this
county will be ready for consumma-
ton at an early date. IL was also
suggested by the president of the
board that specific mention be made
OF the firebost of Baltimore city in
connection with the matter of the
equipment referred TO in the agree
ment.
Very truly yours,

(By Associated Press.)

LONDON, Oct. 0.-Shrapnel, which
has done far more damage to the Al
lies than the German rifle fire, is
British invention over a century old
Its inventor was General ShrapneI, an
English officer who was born in 1851,
and given commission in the royal
artillery in 1878. The thought came
to him during the war in Flanders.
where he was impressed by the triiing
effect of round shot against troops
and the limited range of grape His
shell, filled with balls and powder ig-
nited by a time fuse, was adopted by
the British army in 1902 and played an
important part in the Peninsular war
under wellington and also at Wa
terlo The secret of its action wes
unknown outside OF Britain until
1884.
With the customary ingratitude Of
governments, General Shrapnel w1s

REFUGEES MUST
'LEAVEPE1sB BEHIND
(By Associated Press.)

DOVER, Oct S1.-England has Iaw
regulating the importation OF dogs
which has caused great grief to refu-
gees forced to seek the safety of Erit-
ish soil. The law requires all d0gH
to be held in quarantine for six months
before they can be given liberty in En-
gland and officinIs at ports OF entry
have no authority to waiye 1t in any
case.
Many Belgian women and chiIdrem
saved their dogs when war drove them
from home and managed to keep their
pets through all the rush and scramnle
of the exodus, but when they reached
Folkestone, Dover or other ports of en-
try they were told that English laws
would not admit animals which wera
not held for six III onths.
Che woman at Folkestone asked to
be taken back to Ostend with her
dog, but Ostend was closed. In fact
it was probably in the hands of the
Germans who held less terror for her
than the order that she must leave
her dog. Finally she consented tn
have one of her friends drown the pet,
as she said she could not bear to have
it locked up in a compound for six
months.
Few refugees had any knowledge uf
the strict English law about animalss
However, some of the experienced
travellers who came from Belgium
managed to slip small pets past In
spectors because OF the great rush ana
the hurried examination given all lug
gage.
One Flemish refugee brought his
wife, eleven children and a dog to-
Folkestone. He was penniless, hut
unwilling to part from the dog and
asked that quarters be obtained for the
family in Folkestone so they might be
able to visit the dog every day.
