COMPANY M DAY
HERE TOMORROW
What 1t Means To Patriotic and
Public Spirited Citizens.
EVERY ONE SHOULD HELP
The Tag Day And PatrOnize The
Movies AT Republic Tomorrow
And Colonial Tuesday.

Whatever tomorrow may mean to
individuals of Annapolis, TO the patri-
otic and public spirited, it is prim-
arily Company NJ Day" II will be
the only opportunity which the people
of this community will have To do
their bit towards making their own
boys happy. and comfortable during
their war service. This is certainly
something in which no one can fail to
help.
The bazaar and dance for the bene-
/ fit of the Machine Gun Company was
a splendid success, and such a large
sum was realized that the Gunners
will need no further help along this
| line. Now is the time to put the boys
of NJ Company upon the same basis.
1t must be remembered that NJ Com
pany has the largest number of any
of the local units, so that its need is
greater to that extent 1t is hoped
that the response will be correspond
ingly liberal, and it is likely that it
will be.
Those in charge of the movement
have determined to make the mini
mum sum for the flag badges but ten
cents. II is realized that there are
those who would like to contribute
who cannot do better than this sum.
But this does not preclude the giving
of larger sums, and this can be done
in a quiet manner by this method
Most can afford a quarter, while many
will be glad to pay one, two, or even
five dollars. Hagerstown secured $50
members of their honorary association
at SO each. Certainly, our prosper
Gus business and professional men can
in many instances give a really sub
stantial sum.
Everyone should bear in mind that
they will help the company by attend
ing the Republic Theatre on Saturday
evening or the Colonial on next Tues
day evening. Members of the COM
pany are selling tickets for these per-
formances. There will be a special
ten-cent show at the Republic Satur-
day evening, and the Colonial will
have a good show at the regular
price The arrangements have agreed
TO give liberal percentage to the
company.

BAKER IS OPPOSED
TO ARMY-NAVY GAME
Secretary Of War Declares Intensive
System Of Trainiag at Point
Demands Much Time.

There is little chance that the Army
Navy football game will be played
this year, according to a special dis
patch to the New York Sun rom
Washington. Newton ID. Baker, Secre-
tary of War, declares that he is op-
posed to having the contest played
even for the purpose of raising a war
fund
Agitation for the restitution of
Point, following the recent order
from Secretary of the Navy Daniels
permitting the resumption of athletics
at Annapolis, resulted in a represen-
tative of the Sun broaching the ques-
ton to Secretary Baker There is
some likelihood that Mr.. Baker will
allow the Army to play with teams
other than the Navy.
Mr. Baker explained that the Army
Navy game had been discussed by him
with Secretary Daniels and Col Pal
mer Pierce, United States Army, head
of the National Collegiate Athletic
Association. The decision reached
was Jnat so Iar as west POINT ana An
napolis were concerned. every ounce
of energy ought to be employed to-
ward the prosecution of the war. even
at the temporary sacrifice of athletics.
AT West Point, Secretary Baker ex-
planned, a system of very intensive
military training has been initiated
while arrangements are being rushed
to graduate two classes ahead.
Mr. Baker also pointed out that the
feeling between West Point and An
napolis was naturally such that play
ing of the football match would in
volve much training and preparation.
He does not think that this energy
should be devoted at this time even
for the advantage OF raising war
fund

MEN SHOULD COME FORWARD
(Communicated.

A short time ago notice was given
through the columns of this paper
that the General Assembly of Mary
land at extraordinary session, au-
thorized by Chapter 6, the creation of
a military organizations within the
/ State, the same to be known as the
Maryland State Guards. The pur-
poses of this Guard, as outlined. fol-
lows:
l. The Maryland State Guards will
take the place of the National Guard
unit. which body has been mustered
into he Federal service, and will
soon leave for special training at the
various training camps.
2. 1t will be the duty of said Mary
land State Guards to perform service
within the State of Maryland, subject
to the powers of the State authorities
3. During our present crises il
would be unwise to leave the State
without military protection so the
General Assembly created this or
ganizat.on for the purpose of safe
guarding the lives and property of its
inhabitants in case of any unforeseen
emergency.
4. The age limit for service shall
be between Is and As.
5. Under normal circumstances
there will be one drill night each
week and one encampment each year
6. A liberal compensation has been
offered for each drill and such other
times as emergencies may necessi-
tate
The men of Maryland, within the
above age limits, should under no
circumstances look upon this matter
with a degree of lightness.
II is not known when circumstances
will arise that will demand the imme-
diate presence of a militia force
The National Guardsmen that are
about to leave us will certainly feel
better satisfied If they know that
there will be protection for their
families outside of the regular police
force. The police force of any small
town is necessarily small. and it is
but justice to the city and county au-
thorities that the men of available
age step forward and offer their serv-
ice at time when lives and property
should be more closely guarded.
Gentlemen, do not say that you will
look into the matter of enlistment to-
morrow, but attend to this today, for
you know that tomorrow is frequently
too late.

Oyster tongers have. as usual. been

for many years TO allow the tongers a
certain period of grace to secure their

will follow their usual custom Of

of cooler weather when prices genor-

than 100 licenses had been issued up
to the noon hour today. To be more

The presence Of dandruff and fall

Owen Declares This Boosts Living
Cost.

Washington, Jan. 6.--That S25,000,00C
was expended during 1915 for influencing
Ielections" was the declaration yester-
day of United States Senator Robert L.
Owen, at the opening session of the Ma
tional Popular Government league.
Senator Owen declared this estimate
of expenditures is biased on reported
and known expenses" These vast out
lays of money for influencing elections
is one of the chief causes for the high
cost of living, he asserted.
He charged that election influencing
which includes vote buying" goes on
constantly.
"The campaign expenditures publicity
law is useless" said Owen. He cited re-
ports of expenditures of sums as vast as
s6,oOO,O00 having passed unrecorded in
the last election.

The newspaper declared that Ger

Great significance was attached to pas
sage by Austro-German censors yester-
day of a quotation from the Vienna

government to discover if the Entente
would be ready to negotiate peace after
an evacuation by Teutonic troops in the
west; and if so, that the evacuation be
made Immediately"
The newspaper asserts the Entente's
reply sis peace note--if rightly I'M

lSignificance attached to this des-
patch arises from the fact that British

should evacuate Belgium and that part

preliminary to peace discussions.1
