DIDN'T SUIT HIM
TO JOIN THE ARMY
FREDERICK COUNTY coLoRED
MAN INFORMS BOARD TO
THAT EFFECT.

Randolph Armstead, colored, OF Ste-
phens City, Frederick county, has
sen word to the exemption board of
"a novel reason why he should not go
in the new national army. He was
drawn in the draft, offered no exemp-
tons, and has been accepted for ser
vice. His case was passed on by both
the local and the district boards and
he will be called to leave within a
few days with the final increment to
go to Camp Lee from this section.
But lately Armstead got married,
and on Saturday he sent word to the
local board of Frederick county that
he didn't believe he could join the
new army; in fact he knew he
couldn't, that he was married and it
didn't suit him to go.

should be provided on all sides, top

tected, the bees will not receive the

packing material, such as sawdust

and the case should be waterproof
Roofing paper over the cover is de

Asked If it were true that she was

Pressed for a more definite state

Congresswoman Rankin said she did

were wound with several miles OF

A current from big dynamo gave
to this extraordinary contrivance such
efficiency as a magnet that II was
deemed capable of deranging the COM

DANIELS DISCREDITS
SUBMARINE REPORTS
Secretary of Navy Says No U-Boats
Threaten Coast.

Secretary of Navy Daniels last night
discredited the latest submarine
scare"
Reports had been published of the
receipt by the Government OF infor-
nation that one or a fleet of German
submarines OF extraordinary size and
efficiency were headed for the Ameri
can coast. Other reports persisted of
the presence OF a raider in Chesapeake
Bay, where a great part OF the worlds
shipping passes into Hampton Roads.
The reports had gone so far as
to hint that a submarine had made
its way through Chesapeake Bay to
the mouth Of the Potomac and con-
templated an attack on Washington.
Great activity of searchlights from the
Navy yard. Washington Barracks and
Fort Hunt. on the river were point
ed to as bearing out the reports.
Secretary Daniels said:
'The Navy Department has re-
ceived no reports that a submarine
is hiding in Chesapeake Bay. Neither
do we know anything about a SUBJ
marine crossing the ocean to raid our
coasts"
The reports had said the defensive
war areas" along the coast were be-
ing closed in anticipation of raids.
The Department said there had been
no new orders for these districts and
that they were operating the same as
usual.

.SUFFS WILL PARADE
AS PUBLIC PROTEST
Threaten to Call $4,000 to Capital
in Case Sentence Is Imposed.

The suffragettes will hold a gigan-
tic parade of protest in Washington
this week II their sixteen pickets are
not released in Police Court this morn
ing.
Besides. IL the sixteen women, all of
the greatest prominence in their home
cities. are given a Jail sentence, they
intend to go on a starvation strike
and their suffragette comrades intend
to appeal to women OF the United
States to unite in one desperate ef-
fort to get the vote. possibly by
ceasing all war activities.
Hundreds of kilograms went out
from Cameron House last night to
the State leaders of the militants,
National Woman's Party. to be pre-
pared to send all their forces to
Washington for a parade of protest
at a moments notice. They plan to
get 1900 militants in Washington in
three days and a parade will be held
in spite of any police interference.
Miss Lucy Burns and the other lead
ers of the party have set their teeth
in grim earnest for the fight, and from
now on it is to be for life or death.
1T is only the President today"
said Miss Burns, who Is standing in
the way OF suffrage. The House is in
favor of it. the Senate is in favor of it
and the majority of the people in the
country are in favor of 1t. but the
President seems to haxe a streak of
ingrained anti-suffra gism in his make
up.
Time after time-fourteen times ia
alive have gone to see him and
each time he has had a different ex-
cuse. The last time he said that he hau
abandoned all opposition to national
suffrage. but could do nothing because
he didn't think it could be put

No concessions for stands or stores

This commission will decide and
will exclude adventures and takers
who propose to establish sideshows

gate with the greatest care every ap-

for any man to apply for a conces-

possible that a substantial bond may
be required from every concessionaire
for the rigid compliance with the re-

the commission.
Indeed, in some quarters there Is a
disposition to keep out of the gov

1t is certain that the War Depart

functions seemed in themselves al
most human, pausing now and then
to watch and wonder and exchange
word with one or another of the
many workers. until a kindly works
manager found me and led me uner-
ringly through that riotous jungle
of machinery.
He brought me by devious ways to
place he called holy ground

swept by men shod in felt, a place
this where no dust or grit might be,
for here was the magazine, with the
filling sheds beyond. And within these
long sheds, each seated behind a

and cut deadly cordite into needful
lengths as if it had been so much
ribbon, and always and everywhere
the same dexterous speed.
He led me, this soft-voiced, keen
eyed works manager, through we'll

dolent of clean, druggy smells and
the pervading odor of iodoform: he
ushered me through dining-halls, long

we had come-"they seem very much

works manager. "And YETI don't
