Tenth Anniversary of Moving Pic

Ten years ago one hardly thought
that such a thing as a seven reel pic

realized that moving pictures of the
magnitude of The Birth of Ma

Tonight, at the tenth anniver-
sary at the Grand Opera House,
the management has secured nine
reels for the amusement Of the audi
ence, and they have very wisely Sc
lected a varied program, which in
cludes some of the first pictures ever
shown in this city, made into new
prints, and a modern photoplay,
which is one of the finest to be oD-
tanned.

one of the most historic of plays. At

America it should appeal to schoo.

Maryland Will Raise Its
Quota OF Sailors

Not since the big spring drive"
last April when $50 Navy recruits
enlisted from Maryland in 20 days
have erlistn.ents for that branch of
tEr service been more plertltul than
during the last three weeks.
Young men from all sections Of
the State have applied and the meGi-
cal authorities at the Main Recruit
ing Station IN Baltimore hay" been
especially pressed with the physi-
cal qualifications Of the applicants.
Very few have been rejected and
nearly all of those accepted enlisted
at once.
Prospects for the Maryland Dis
trict to raise its new quota of 106
apprentice seamen by February 22nd
are encouraging. The spirit OF pa
triotism seems rekindled among the
young men all over the State.
Applicants, however, could eXpe-
dite their enlistment if they bear in
mind when they go to the recruiting
station that they must have proof OF
the date of their birth. This can be
certified by their parents or guar
dams or by records of their baptism.
Date of birth and proof of citizen
ship are absolutely necessary before
a man can enlist in the Navy.
Full particulars of Navy enlist
ments can be obtained from tho
nearest postmaster; directly from the
Navy Recruiting Station, Calvert
and Lexington streets, Baltimore, or
from the Navy Recruiting Substa-
tions at Cumberland and Hagers-
town

Announcement

Owing TO the shortage in gas fuel,
we request all gas consumers to
economic in the use of gas to the
greatest possible extent until the
present abnormal conditions pass,
and we are assured an adequate sup
ply of gas coal.
The present serious fuel situation
throughout the country is too well
known to go into the details relating
to our present shortage in supply.
The coal company from whom we
secure our supply of gas coal holds
so many priority orders from the u.
S. Fuel Administration, that they
have been unable to take care OF
their regular contracts, we being ov-
er 500 tons short to date. These
priority orders are given largely to
industrial concerns working on Gov
eminent contracts, and to utilities
supplying large quantities of indus
trial gas to concerns doing Govern
ment work. Fortunately, after con-
siderable effort, we have secured a
priority order from the U. S. Fuel
Administration at Washington, for
shipment of gas coal, which is now
enroute from the mines to Baltimore.
spell and the general tie up of frei-
ght movements, this consignment is
moving slowly, and will not reach
Cambridge until our present supply
of gas coal is exhausted.
We, therefore, ask our gas con-
sumers to economic in the use OF
gas, as much as possible, in order
that our present supply can be con-
served as long as possible. Unless
there is a very material decrease in
the demand for gas, our supply will
be exhausted on Thursday, Dec. 20.
In regard to the supply of electric
current, we have on the way to our
Laurel plant over 500 tons OF
steam coal, but due to the tie up of
two of our vessels in the ice and the
slow movement of the coal moving
by all rail route, our supply may
possibly be exhausted before we re-
ceiye any of this coal. We, there
fore. ask our electric consumers to
understand the situation in case it
becomes necessary to cut off the sup
ply of electric light or power, due
to these conditions.
In order to meet just such a con-
dition as that with which We are
now confronted. our Company sever
al months ago purchased a coal
mine, but due 10 the difficulty of OBJ
tanning labor and material, for nee
/ esSary mine equipment and opening;
! also due to the necessity of obtaining
! a car rating from the Railroad Prl-
GRITTY Board. at Washington, it will
/ be several weeks before We will be
able to make shipments from ou1
mine
We trust our consumers will fully
appreciate the serious condition OF
| the fuel situation and understand
that every effort has been made and
! is being made to maintain our ser
vice, and in case of interruption be
coming necessary, we trust that il
will only be of short duration.

BAY BLOCKED With ICE
Steamer Operations .Menaced 10y
Dangers of Navigation.

From Bluff Point all the way up
to Baltimore the Bay is clogged with
ice.
Incoming bay steamer captains
brought in reports of great Quantl-
ties of floating ice land with the pres
ent shortage of coal it is possible
that number of the steamers oper-
ating down the Bay and to the ada
cent rivers may have to reduce then
schedules, if not actually suspend
sailings, should the present condi-
lions continue many days longer.
Not only is the Patapsco full OF
ice, but the ice coming down from
the Susquehanua has filled the Bay
full of great cakes of floating ice
which are menace to smaller craft,
and d constant source of worry to the
captains of the larger steamers.
The Chester river is frozen sol1o
for over 35 miles. The Chester
town steamer has had to suspend OPP
erations, and unless a change in the
weather soon sets in it will hardly
be possible to continue the Sailings
this week.
The Pocomoke river boats are still
operating, and il was said last night
that they were keeping pretty near
ly TO schedule. This is also true OF
the Piankatank river boats, and 9th
er lines to Virginia. These lines are
experiencing less difficulty of theiI
southbound trips than in the return
trips to Baltimore, most of the ice
being in the upper Chesapeake.
The Chesapeake and Old Bay lines
have not, as yet. experienced any dir
liculty in keeping to their schedules.
Ihe great steel steamers of these
lines find but little trouble in crun-
ching their way through the ice, I'M
less the Bay should freeze over solo
as il did last February. But while
the larger boats have not experience
ed any difficulty as yet, the captains
report a quantity of ice as far south
as Cove Point.

BATTLE GROWS IN HILLS

BY the Associated Press.
ITALIAN ARMY HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTHERN ITALY. December a
Heavy firing has occurred on the north
ern line in the last twenty-four hours
in different sectors around Monte Per-
tea, between the Brenta and Piave
rivers and on Meletta range. running
west of the Brenta. Each Of the oppos-
ing forces holds part of these positions.
The general condition along the en-
tire Italian front has improved distinct
~ in the last week. The defensive posi-
lions on the northern line are now con-
sidered as secure as those along the
Piave. This. with the gathering strength
of the italian and allied forces, has re-
lieved the gravity of the situation.
Northeastern Italy is now inclosed
within a powerful barrier on the north
and east, which is considered sufficient
to hold the enemy.
Battle in Mountains.
In the mountains to the north the
Italians are along the southerly slopes
and the enemy on the northern slopes
with the dividing SUBMITS held alter
nately by one side or the other as the
action develops.
This brought on fierce struggle to-
day around Monte Pertica for possess
sion of one of its chief elevations, call
ed Hill 1549, held by the enemy.
Italian forces executed surprise
movement early in the day and drove
the enemy from this position, but 1t
was exposed Immediately to heavy con-
centration of the entire artillery fire
from the surrounding elevations.
Take Hill in Rally.
The Italians fell back before this fire,
then rallied and took the hill. but once
more were forced back before the MUIR
derous concentration of that firing.
The struggle went on continuously
and up and down the slopes and the
hill changed hands five times before
the enemy re-esta blished the position
whence he was driven early in the day.
At Meletta the situation was reversed.
Enemy forces which attempted to take
the Italian position were driven back.
