Y. NJ c. A. meeting in Memorial Hall
on Sunday evening last was Lieuten-
ant Hector MacQuarrie. of the Brit
itsh Royal Field Artillery. Lieuten-
ant MaeQuarrie, who is the author of
the new book, How to live at the
front" was wounded in action and in
valided home some months ago, but
viii return to the front shortly
He gave a thrilling account of the
preparation for an attack and of the
daily life in the field, and brought the
awfulness of war home to his hear
ers in a vivid manner His address
abounded in incidents bordering on
the lighter side Of things which can
be found even in war. but his main
thesis was the fearful penalty paid
preparedness on land. In the First
Hundred Thousand" and in the Sec
ond," the vast majority had been out
of the routine of civilian life less than
a month, and their lack of training
and equipment was most pitiful. They
were slaughtered but their courage
and self-sacrifice prevent the Ger
mans, who outnumbered them five to
one, from breaking through and gain
ed time for the training of a real
army. The vile and dishonorable
methods of warfare regularly used
in the German plans poison gas ana
the frequent attacks upon non-com-
batants and the defenceless-wer
particularly scored by the speaker
who closed his address with a SPLEEN
did and touching appeal for complete
sympathy and cooperation between
all those who have entered the con-
test to keep the world decent.
The audience of Midshipmen, Ma
wal Reserves officers and instructors
crowded Memorial Hall and gave
Lieutenant MacQuarrie a tumult of
applause at the close of his address.

COAL PLUS PNEUMONIA
A Winter Of Sickness Predicted Be-
cause Of No Fuel.

Physicians have their hands. full.
Colds. coughs and pneumonia are
prevalent.
A leading local physician said he
anticipates more pneumonia cases this
winter than at any previous time in
the history Of Annapolis.
The reason assigned is mo coal. !"
ThSre are hundreds of houses in An
napolis where there 10 not a lump of
coal, ana there can be none bought. >
Those VINO have been able to get q
little purchased it by the coal bucket,
or basketful. Families with two and
three babies nave no coal, and sickness
cannot be averted.
WOOD is not substitute, and even
wood is priced so high it cannot be
purchased by the very poor.
Coal will cause pneumonia this win
ter, or the lack of coal Nothing
superinduces illness 60 much as
to be chilled through and through, and
cold houses and offices do this.
Unless the coal situation in this
city is remedied, the result may mean
death to little children il not adults.

Nearly always human being is able
