roday is Labor Day, the working

Jon is being observed with greater
-.ycrence throughout the land than
.,er before in the history of the ma
,tor because the important part that
labor is playing in the war, a con

World. is universally recognized.
Tho man in the coal pit, the helper

lighting in the trenches with the Al
Hes with the one great purpose in
,iew-that of establishing world
wide democracy and forever stamping
out German autocracy.
King Labor is, therefore, supreme,
ana todays holiday is momentous
ope In the larger cities parades and
,arious other demonstrations were
arranged in observance of the holiday.
Here i'm Annapolis there was moth
ing IN the way of formal eclat, but the
holiday air pervaded the city. and
every workingman who could possi-
bIv be spared from his duties, had
day off and made the most of il. All
lbo public buildings Federal, State,
County and Municipal-ceased busi-
ness activities and practically every
merchant i'm the city closed down
either before or at the noon hour, and
gave their employees a holiday.
MANY persons who could arrange it,
ayaiIcd themselves of a three-day
respite from work, and left the city
saturday Mt the close of business. to
BE- gone until this evening. A goodly
humber of these are spending the
time "roughing" it along the bay and
river shores. while still others went
to more distant places, the resorts, for
instance where they sought quiet
rcposc.
Holiday hours were observed down
at The Naval Academy, and the Mid
shipmcn of the new fourth class were
granted the usual liberty privileges.
They were even allowed an extra
hour for q morning "snooze," as gun
fire was not until 720, compared to
62O under the usual academic routine.
The student officers of the Reserve
Naval Officers Corps, under instruc-
ton at the Academy were granted
liberty to visit outside OF the city from
noon on Saturday until o'clock this
evening. A large majority of them
took advantage of the foreign leave
privilege
There was very little going on in
or about the city for the holiday
pleasure seekers About the only
event in the way of amusement was
the horse race meeting on the Camp
Parole track this afternoon Many
sportsmen took to the woods early
this morning on squirrel shooting ex-
petitions. and the crack of the guns
could be heard here, there and every
whore from daybreak on, throughout
the day.

RESPITE FOR DRAFT
MEN TO SEPTEMBER 10
Departure of Marylanders For
Camp Meade Deferred
BUT PAY STARTS WEDNESDAY,
Delay In Completion Of Living Quarters
Chief Cause OF Revocation OF
Former Orders

Camp Meade will not be thrown
open to the original per cent of
Maryland's draft army next Wednes-
day. Orders received from the War
Department announced that the men
included in this 3 per cent had been
granted a respite until September 10.
Nevertheless. such men will enter
the Federal Army service on the
iifth. They should worry They will
enjoy ali the emoluments of such serv-
ice without undergoing any of the
sacrifices. In other words. though
they Will be free TO continue working
al their civilian jobs and can enjoy all
the comforts of home for that period.
! they will, beginning Wednesday. be-
gin TO draw pay from the government.
I his means that without turning
hand they are TO get 3 real dollars
SO much velvet for them. All OF those
conscripted have been notified TO hold
themselves in readiness to mcye to
camp
Word to this particular effect was
sent by telegraph Saturday night by
Adjutant General Warfeld TO all the
local exemption boards throughout the
State. The General emphasized the
fact that the men were to be ushered
into the Federal service on Wednes-
day.
The message which was sent out
from the War Department expressed
the opinion that the men should enter
upon their new life with the minimum
OF discomfort Il was felt that as first
Impressions were lasting il would be
q good policy to have the men made as
trim as possible and thus get them
swinging off at a good-natured gait
More Effective Start.
Though nothing has been said in
the order, il is expected that As per
cent OF the first quota will report Sep
tember 19 and that the camp will thus
get off to a more effective and bust
ness-like start The news from Wash
ington came as no surprise to those
in charge at the camp.
Major Rolph f. Proctor, after going
over reports. said that there was APP
proximately 1900 men in camp, in
Guiding more than 5000 labofers
After he had made this computation
other laborers arrived by the truck
fuls The Major said that he had pro-
vided accommodations for all these
men, or One-third OF the entire quota
| of soldiers to be stational here. He
said at that time that there would be
no difficulty in housing the per cent
/ or even the 80 per cent for that mat
ter, but he could not have the water
supply system ready for the 30 per
cent by Wednesday.
The delay i'm the arrival of lumber
and other materials for the camp, es-
pecially in the beginning of the con
struction work, is what has held il
back so much. This delay has been
accentuated within the last few weeks
by the transportation of troops and
the congestion caused by the shipment
Of the materials needed to all the Ma
tional Guard and National Army
cantonments.
That the work at the camp is being
pushed as rapidly as possible is in
dicated by the fact that the full force
! Of workmen were at il in full blast

THIS CITY NOT ACCEPTED.
Effort to Get County Officers Con.
vention Here Fails.

Efforts of A. A. Moore and members
Of the board of supervisors to bring
the annual convention of county offic-
ers to this city in 1918 failed at the
convention which closed at Waterloo
Friday. Invitations We're extended to
the convention 10 meet at Des Moines,
Sioux City. Fort Dodge and here. Des
Moines was at first accepted as the
next meeting place, but the decision
was reconsidered and the influence of
all the other towns was combined to
beat Des Moines, with the result that
Sioux City was finally selected. Those
from this city at the convention re-
turned Friday afternoon and evening.
The selection of Sioux City over Des
Moines likely is to cause a division in
the meeting places Of the county Off
GERS next year. it is said, with the
clerks. recorders. and sheriffs going to
Des Moines. and the supervisors. stew
ards and. treasurers to Sioux City.

minute and the whole piece furnishes
one laugh after another in quick sue

which is not too heavy but which gives
the audience a semblance OF plot to
follow. There are frequent intsrpols-
tions of specialties, musical numbers
and novelties. The chorus is a pretty
one and the girls have been selected
for their singing and dancing ability
quite as much as for their beauty.
There are also eight chorus men. which
makes possible pleasing blending IT

money and there are some very unique
and very unusual creations. The set

are given an autopobile ride to and

car owners. and a dinner such as ordin-
arily they do not have. The army is not
financially able to provide these things
without assistance, and those who can
help will be doing good work by aid

The work Of the draft examining

more strenuous In fact than any real

their work impartially. and in accord

for their country.
