ANNAPOLIS ANSWERS CALL
TO DUTY in SHORT Time
Company M Of the First Regiment Maryland National Guard Re-
cruied to Minimum Strength Few Hours-Baden Street
Armory Busy Place.
COMPANY is READY AWAITING ORDERS TO MOVE
Many Stores and Business Places Hit by the Loss
cies Should be Kept Open As Far As Possible-More
Recruits Can be Accepted

1t is almost revelation, the quick
ness and willingness shown by the
members of Company M" of the First
Regiment, Maryland National Guard
to serve their country in the best possi-
BILE way, that they were ready is evil
denced by the dispatch with which
orders to prepare were carried out
At 10.45 a. m. yesterday morning
Capt. Lewis B. Myers received the
first order which was a telegram from
Colonel Little, reading:
Assemble your company at your
armory at once and recruit it up to
not less than sixty-five men. AS
soon as that number is obtained
report by wire total strength and
commence drilling company. Load
wagons and collect teutage and
have everything in readiness to
move. Make arrangements for
transportation of men"
Immediately upor receiving the
above telegram Captain Myers, Lieu
tenant Murphy and Lieutenant Dawes
went to the Armory and set the ma
chinery of mobilization in motion.
kilograms were sent to nonresident
company members and men were dis
patched in automobiles over the county
to bring in the men from there.
AT once the military machine began
its work and man after man reported
at the Armory and was equipped. BY
6 o'clock in the evening the majority
of the command was on hand, fitted out
and were ready to move. wagons being
packed and all necessary arrange
ments made and the company equip
mcnt packed.
Lieutenant Moss was also a very
busy officer. His orders to mobilize
arrived simultaneously with those to
Captain Myers and he had his company
and equipment in readiness to move
in the early afternoon. The men were
hold at the Armory pending further or
ders and last night were drilled and in
structed in the duties of field service
The military routine was at once put
in force and the men were speedily
transformed from business men and
citizens to efficient working parts in
the hugh machine which President
Wilson may launch against Mexico.
Since last night the company head
quartrs have been impatiently await
ing the orders from the commanding
officer of the regiment which will
Evening capital and Maryland gazette. (Annapolis, Md.) 1910-1922, 1916-06-20

send them to the mobilization camp at
Laurel. AT 1920 this morning they
received this telegram:
Hold company in readiness to
move on short notice. Order time
of movement will reach you this
afternoon. Uniform will be serv-
ice woolen and Gotten, including
overcoats."
In pursuance of this the company
Will remain at the Armory until def
mite orders arrive.
That the men of Annapolis are ready
to do their duty was evidenced by the
rapidity with which volunteers came
forward, for Immediately after the
news of the company's being ordered
out spread there was a rush by the
men of the town to enlist.
Mr.. John White Hyde, who. by the
way probably has the distinction of
being the first man in the United
States to volunteer his services to the
colors, was the first man sworn in
The following were sworn in in quick
succession: William j. Harmon. Ben
jamin Wilmington, John Schwallen-
burg, James F. Smith James B. Nc
Gimm, Jr., Travis Brown, Harry Hub
bard, Daniel f. Collins, John r. Boone,
Theodore c. Brady, Roy H. Fisher,
Harry F. Segelken. In the Machine
Gun Company the following enlisted:
William Graham, Alfred Moore and
John Puncheon.
The Machine Gun Company now has
it's full complement but Company NJ
can be recruited up to it's full war
strength of $50 men, and is still open
for enlistment AS far as any at the
Armory now know the companies will
move at or about IL o'clock tomorrow
so any who may desire to enlist to help
fill up the company and put Maryland
among the states which will give full
enlisted quota of men to the service of
the United States are urged to do so
at once. Recruits can be sworn in
at any time at the Captains office in
the Armory on Bladen street.
Practically every store and business
place in the city is hit by some of its
employees answering the call and while
a majority of them will hold the posi-
tions open, several of them will have
to be filled. 1t becomes the duty of
every business man, as far es possible
to hold the places vacant for the men
who are answering the country's call.

NORFOLK COVETS
THE REINA MERCEDES.
Virginia Port Wants Naval Academy
Training Shin.

A strong effort is being made to
hold the Reina Mercedes at the Nor
folk Navy Yard as station ship there,
as they have nothing as well appoint
ed to do duty at that place. When
the Reina Mercedes went to Norfolk,
those in charge there looked at her
with coyetous eyes and Immediately
set to work on plans tn IT would keep
her there.
Providing those in charge here have
power enough to overcome the effort,
the Reina Mercedes will leave Nor
folk on Saturday and reach Annapolis
Sunday night or Monday morning.
1t has not been officially announced
but the fight over the Reina Mercedes
was evidently anticipated from some
of the advance preparations made.
'Tis said the Captains quarters have
considerable weight in the desirability
of having the boat stationed at Nor
folk.

MEXICANS FIRE ON
u. S. BLUEJACKETS.
Two Officers Made Prisoners at Mazat-
lan---Their Release Reported
"a Warships for Mexico.

Coincident with the report that a
party of American bluejackets from
the American gunboat Annapolis had
exchanged shots with Carranzistas at
Mazatlan il became known that no few
er than twenty-four American war
ships are en- route to or actually in
Mexican waters.
The clash at Mazatlan was reported
to the Navy Departments Washington
yesterday by Rear Admiral Winslow.
According to this report, which came
from Commander Arthur g. Kavan-
augh, of the Annapolis, the trouble re-
suited from an attempt to land a
launch ashore to parley with the Mex
ican officials.
The bluejackets were not permitted
to land and two American officers who
did land were made prisoners by the
Mazatlan authorities. They are En-
sign o. o. Kessing( of Indiana, and
Assistant Paymaster Andrew Mawatt
of Newport, r. |.
What transpired directly subsequent
to this is not made clear in the des-
patch but Commander Kavanagh re-
ported that the launch was fired on by
the Mexicans and the crew returned to
the fire. The Mexicans gravely wound

 As intimated in the letter received some time ago from the office of the engineering corps, the cost. as out hned in the plans and reports of Captain Ernberk, was viewed by the department as out of all proportion to the commercial value of the i'm provement.

zEPPS AGAIN DESCEND ON
 LONDON
International News Service.

NCWS SofNISC'
 LONDON, Aug 25.-For the fourth time. Xeppelins again visited London this morning shortly before the break of day
 As in the case of the earlier visits, the German arships did not penetrate to the heart of the city and the dam age committed was confined to the outskirts Owing to a dense canopy of haze the Teutons were able to op- crate almost unseen and their bomb dropping operations covered a wide area. A total of eight were killed and twenty more suffered injuries from which a number will probably die. An official statement this afternoon ad- mits that the property damage was extensive and included the partial de- struction of the city power station.
 The destruction of the station ap- peared to be one of the principal ob- jects of the visitation as the bulk of the bombs were dropped in close proX- imity to the plant.
