CITIZENS CAMP
AT SAUNDERS RANGE.
Only One Annapolis Volunteer Who
Will Follow His Example?---Md.
League for National Defense.

The prospects for hte coming camp
of instruction TO be held at Saunders
Range starting September %, are very
bright Much enthusiasm has been
shown by prospective attendants, while
the actual enlistments. to date, are
small, many have expressed themselves
as desirous of attending
AS there may be those who are in
sympathy with the idea, but for some
good reason will be personally unable
to attend it has been suggested to The
Capital that these men have open to
them two splendid chances to aid in
making It a success. First, find some
one able to go and encourage him to
attend. Secondly, If you know some
one Who wants to attend, but is unable
financially, help to defray his small ex-
penses. If you are willing TO help some
one to go, and don't know any one
write TO The Capital.
In other words, go if possible, and
don't let trifies, personal inconvenience
or selfishness prevent. If utterly un-
able TO attend, try to get some one in
your stead. The Plattsburg camp has
been a remarkable exhibition of self
sacrifices. Prominent business men
have given their time to its encourage
ment. Cannot Marylanders do their
share and make the name Saunders
Range mean as much as Plattsburg?
There is one thing that is hard to un-
derstand. Six Baltimore firms are
sending one or two men each to Platts-
burg Why not to Saunders Range
Daily applications are received in Bal
timore form Marylanders for PIatts-
burg. Why do not these men go to
their own State camp and help make
that "A sucC ess? Is it possible that
Maryland with more than 250, 600 men,

cause there are not 300 of its men will

FARMERS BEST MIDDLEMAN.
Anne Arundel Growers Sell Fruit From
Roadside Stands.

A number of farmers living along the
boulevards in this county have hit
upon an ingenious plan 70 selling parts
of their crops This year there has
been an abundance of peaches, water
melons, cantaloupes, apples and all
kinds of berries
In many lines production caus-
ed gluts on the market and the farm
ers let the crops decay in the fields or
orchards rather than ship them to Bal
timore city and receive poor prices.
One enterprising farmer living along
the Baltimore Annapolis boulevard in
augurated plan Of selling berries and
apples along the roadside In the
course of day hundreds of tourists
would pass the stand, and many made
purchases.
1t was not long before the automo-
bilists who frequented the road car
ried regularly from the roadside mer-
chants. Soon other farmers establish
ed stands and now one may purchase
any seasonable fruit or vegetable from
the farmer-merchants
BY using these stands the farmers
have been able 10 sell considerable
amount of fruit that would otherwise
have gone to waste in the fields. Be
sides, the farmers have received prices
for the fruit much greater than could
have been obtained if the fruit was sold
to the commission merchants in the
city of Baltimore

new RECORD in SALVAGE.
Details of the SaIvaging---Admiral
Bush's Report.

| officials of the Navy Department
await with great interest reports from
Honolulu relative t0 the condition Of
the bodies in the wreck Of the subma-
rine F-4. which sank in Hawaiian wa
ters on March 25.
The boat has been lifted 10 the sur
face and now lies on pontoops secured
to the quarantine dock at Honolulu.
This is the first time that bodies have
ever been lifted from q depth of 366feet
in water. Naval experts have two the
ories as TO the condition OF the bodies
in the submarine
One is that they have been preserved
by sort Of chlorine Eces, gcnerataed
by union of water with sulphuric ACID
frcm the boats batteries. The otncr
boat is that marine life may have en-
tered the boat, in which event it is eN-
pccted that 1T viii be impossible TO rec
Jgpize the remains on any Of the thirty
one men Who lost their lives
The Navy Department has received a
long report on the salvage operations
that resulted in the wreck being finally
brought to the surface. The work.
which was begun ON March 25. the day
the loss was reported to the navel con,
mander at Honolulu has continued with
great energy despite many difficulties.
The boat was repeatedly lifted a short
distance, only to break from the cables
that were placed about the submarine
by expert divers. The dead weight
lifted was $50 tons.
For two months after the beginning
of the opera tons tha9Wt eckers worked
apparently with little hope Of success.
Rear Admiral Bouscn who succeeded
Rear Admiral Moore in command OF
teh Pearl HarhOr Station, gives credit
to Admiral Moore, Naval Constructor
Furar and Lieut.. c. p. Smith. and the
divers, associated with them for the
success of the salvage operations.
Admiral Boush's report IS in part as
follows
"On May p the F-4 was raised nearly
166 feet and the next day she was rails
ed some fifty feet more. AS she was
raised each day she was towed into
| shalloweT water, so that in case of bad
weather or parting of gear she might
not go back TO the 800 feet depth.
"Ffis was particularly necessary, as
the boat was lying originally upon a
very steep slope, virtually a submerged
mountainside. Ate the boat had been
raised to within about fifty feet of the
surface rough weather again delayed
operations and some lines were snap
ped, but she was now within easy div
Ing distance of the surface and could be
thoroughly examined by divers.
Upon this examination the condition
of the boat was found to he such that
Naval Constructor Fnrar considered
there would be undue risk in attempt
Ing to complete the work with the ap.
pliances at hand and recommended that
six pontoons be constructed and used
to complete the lift
