COIOred Mess Attendants.

Maryland has been asked by the
Navy Department to furnish eight
colored mess-attendants for the Navy
each week until this branch of the
service has been recruited to its full
strength.
Lieutenant Commander Grady, Re
cruiting Inspector for the Eastern
Naval Division, has urged Lieutenant
NJ A. Leahy, Recruiting Officer of
Maryland to do everything possible to
bring these men into the service, as
they are urgently needed.
These mess attendants are in ad-
ditiOn to men for all the other
branches of the naval service.
Here is afforded, say the Navy Re-
cruiting Authorities, an opportunity
for patriotic colored men, between the
ages of IS and rs years, to serve their
country in time of war.
The necessary qualifications are a
good moral character, a reasonable
experience as a waiter, and, if posi-
bic. a recommendation as to character
and proficiency as a waiter.
Full particulars of Navy enlistments
can he obtained from the nearest
postmaster; directly from the Navy
Recruiting Station, Calvert and Lex
ingt0n streets, Baltimore, or from the
Navy Recruiting Sub-statiOns at Cum
bGriand and HagerStOwn.

BUSINESS WILL
NOT BE UPSET
American Commerce Has Moth

England is Taken as
Example.
OPTIMISTIC FUT U R E
Lord Rhonda Gives Assurance That
Fabric Of American Business
10 Not to be
Wrecked.

[By Lowell Mellett. United Press
Staff Correspondent
LONDON, May 5.-American ousi
ness has nothing to fear from the
war. The profits in England have
been above normal since the war be-
gan.
Lord Rhonda, president Of the local
government board and a member OF
Lloyd Georges cabinet, in making
this statement today to the United
Press, declared the American bust
ness man-from the small tradesman
up to the biggest capitalist-can
look optimistically to the future.
Lord Rhonda may be best known
to Americans as D. A. Thomas-his
name before elevation to title. He
is one of the worlds captains of In
dustry, with interests in not only
England. but in France, Italy, Spain,
Russia, Brazil and Argentine. He
has made frequent visits to the Unit
ed States-his latest being one un-
dertaken at request of Premier Lloyd
George to arrange supplies for Eng
land and to obtain information as to
American business conditions.
II have never been inclined that
America would come in Lord
Rhonda told the United Press today,
'tand this notwithstanding the fact
that l was aboard the Lusitania when
the Germans torpedoed her. I have
consistently believed that America
would do the right thing-but that it
was Americas own problem.
Now that America has taken the
step. feel free to assure American
businessmen-among whom l have a
great number of friends-that pos
sible fears for business disaster
through the war are likely to prove
unfounded.
Certainly it has not been that
case in England, except in isolated
instances in some lines. The gov
ernmept realized $700,O00,000 from
its excess profits tax last year. That
means profits above the normal be-
fore the war profits. The profits
last year were SLIGO, 100000 since
$500, 600, 900 represents the sixty per
cent tax.
Moreover last years profits were
achieved with little evidence Of so
called profiteering. Labor obtained
its due proportion in increased wages
as witnessed by ability of the work
ingmen to meet the increased cost Of
living and at the same time spend
more
"The latter fact is one of the rea.
sons why tradesmen have not suf-
fered as perhaps they anticipated.
"Please don't misunderstood me
