Reports of the sinkink of American
transports or naval vessels have been
spread with growing frequency ,and
there art some officials who believe
some of these are inspired by Ger

veloping denials that might contain
military information regarding troop
movements that would be valuable to
Germany. In the denial which he is
sued, Secretary Baker said:
Il have no hesitancy in saying that
not a syllable has reached the War
Department which would lead us to
believe that any misfortune has at
tended on rforces on land or sea; and
| can reiterate the pledge made some
time ago that any such word will be
instantly given to the country subject
on lyto the qualification that any mil
itary movement in process at the

peril the remainder of the forces in

COMFORT KITS
To be Sent to Col. Doyen's Boys Also
General PershiDg's

The Surgical Dressings Committee
and the Red Cross Chapter OF Annapo-
lis are to send one hundred comfort
bags to the boys.
The Red Cross workers are already
cutting out one hundred warm woolen
shirts. Each bag must contain one
garment and six small articles. These
shirts have to be made and the bags
filed. A full list of the articles to be
put into the bags will be published
later.
1t is urged upon all Annapolitans to
help in this work of love.
General Pershing's words:
"These things cause the soldier to
remember that the people at home are
behind him. You do not know how
much that means to any soldier who is
over here carrying the flag for his
country. This is the point which
should be impressed on the minds of
those who are working for the sol
dier."
Many of COL Doyen's boys come
from Maryland, but the State they
come from has little to do with it.
They are all boys of this country.
