Aliens picked for military service
by the selective draft may be forced
to serve in the national army or in
the armed forces OF their native land
Unofficial messages received from the
war department by officers here
indicate this will be the policy
of the government during future
drafts. This will apply to citizens OF
countries allied with the United States
against the Teutons.
Treaty arrangements are now be

The drafting OF aliens for military
duty would have a tremendous effect
not only on the spirit of the selective
army, but also In reducing the
chances of American citizens being
called for active service.
Officers refused to comment Oh tao
matter but it was plain they are well
pleased with tho turn events have
taken. The proposed law will place
all men in the country between the
ages OF Il and 81 on an equal footing.

MIRACULOUS ESCAPE
Of Mr.. c. P Heffenger In Motor Car

Charles Pickering Heffenger, only
son of DR. A. c. Heffenger, u. S. ~,

known in Annapolis, had a miraculous
escape from death in a recent motor

of forty miles an hour when COLI
sion occurred with car from Port

Mr.. Tolson's car was overturned,
he being instantly killed, and Mr..
Heffenger was hurled fifty feet and
caught under the car, which turned
over twice and pinned him between
the wheels He was badly bruised
and shocked, but no fatal injuries re-
suited He is still in a very weak and
nervous condition, being unable to re-
turn to Harvard. at which university
he is student. The doctors who

NAVY'S SAILORS
TO RUN TRANSPORTS
Bluejackets Viii Take Place OF Civ
ilian Crews
WILL LESSEN U-B0AT DANGER
New TrOOpships viii Have Greater
Speed And VIII Be Safe
Against One Toruedo.
WILL LESSEN U-B0AT DANGER

Bluejackets will man and naval Off
GERS will command army transports
hereafter.
Officials believe this will insure
more efficient operation of the ships,
particularly in the war zone, where
the strain on a crew is greatest. and
so lessen the risk of destruction by
submarines.
Decision to have the navy operate
the transports is believed to have
been hastened by the sinking of the
transport Antilles, manned by civil
ians 1t was pointed out that the
highly trained and disciplined naval
force is far more effective than con-
stantly changing civilian personnel
! This is regarded as particularly true
of the fireroom force, upon which a
ships speed largely depends.
VIII Increase Navy Personnel.
The manning of the transports will
make necessary a large increase in
the naval personnel and the General
Board is understood to. have recon-
mended that Congress be asked in De-
cember to authorize an additional S0,-
900 men. 10000 for the permanent ma
val forces and $4,000 for the period of
the war.
With the transport turned over to
the navy it was decided to have the
Shipping Board operate all cargo YES
sells, including those carrying sup
plies for the armed forces abroad
Thus was settled question between
the navy and Shipping Board which
began with the decision to build and
commander merchant ships.
In anticipation of the agreement,
pecially for the transport service and
"a large force is understood to be
available now. Others will betrained
as rapidly as possible, so that not only
all existing transports can be manned,
but also the new ones now building.
These latter have been especially de-
signed and viii be much faster than
the standard cargo vessels. They are
planned for a speed of at least IS
knots.
Speed One Protection.
The high speed will furnish one
protection against submarines, but
still another will be supplied in the
ships themselves. They will be so
constructed as to be safe against one
torpedo and it is believed that two
probably would not sink them.
The manning of the transports by
bluejackets will release many men
for the cargo vessel operated by the
Shipping Board The crews for these
ships present an even greater prob
lem than does the personnel for the
navy ships, but the Shipping Board is
training large forces at several
schools along the coast and expects to
be able to man properly the cargo car
riers as fast as they are built.

organization of the Young Mems
Christian Association in Annapolis.
On Tuesday evening meeting of the
public spirited business and pro-
fessional men Of this city was called
at o'clock at the Maryland Hotel.
After. supper the meeting was called
to order by Mr. T. E. Stacy, Army
Representative of the National War
Work Council, Y. NJ c. A., who intro
duced Mr.. II. o. Williams, Director
of the Maryland Division. National
War Work Council. He stated the OBJ
ject of the meeting to be the organiz-
ing of the district composed of the
counties of Anne Arundel, Charles,
Calvert, st. Mary's and Prince
Georges for the raising of the dis
trict's share of the 100000 to be
raised as Maryland's share of the
fund of $35,0O0,000 required for war
work in the United States and over
seas, for the period ending June 30,
1918. Mr. Williams spoke of the work
Of the Association and the necessity
for raising this money, and what was
expected of the committeeman from
this section
After this Mr. F. B. Freeman, Di-
rector of the Eastern Shore District
with headquarters at Salisbury, Md,
was called and spoke of the strategic
opportunities of the Association to
aid in the great war as illustrated by
the experiences OF the European
nations.
Mr.. r. L Vail, the Director of the

plain what was expected from the
boys of this district The plan is to

of the largest Congressional Church
in Connecticut, whose congregation
has released him for the term of the
war for work in the Y NJ c. A., and
who is now serving as an Army Secre-
tary at one of the buildings at Camp
Meade, spoke feelingly of the oppor-
tunity for a remarkable service for
men at the cantonments, giving i'm
pressive instances that were very
touching, of the remarkable work
done by the Y. M. C. A. Secretaries,
and of the service the Association can
be, not only to the men themselves,
but to the government, in helping
make better men and soldiers out of
them
The budget for the district was put
before the meeting and adopted, the
feeling being strong that the amount
necessary -$5, ,2S000- for the district

Court Idle Today But Grand
jury Continues investigations

The Circuit Court for Anne Arun-
del County was virtually idle again
today, owing to the fact that no cases
were docketed for trial. The grand
jury. however. continued its investiga-
tions of the several criminal cases
that were booked for their considera-
tion. The real interest in connection
with the Court proceedings, as far as
the general public is concerned, cen
ters in the trial Of John Snowden, the
Annapolis negro, who is charged with
the murder of Mrs Valentine H..
Brandon at her home on Second street
on the morning Of August s last.
which viii come up on Monday next.
Whether or NOT this case will be re-
moved to some other tribunal is still
