FORT MYER MEN MAY
BECOME MON CONS.
Men Who Failed Still Have a Chance
Granted Furlough

The men who have completed the
course of training at the Officers Re
serve Training Camp at Fort Myer,
and " no were not given commissions,
will be accepted for enlistment in the
regular Army and granted q furlongh
until September ], when they will re-
mort to the Army environments, accord
ing to a telegram received at the
Army recruiting office from the War
Department.
These men, on account OF their spe-
cial training received at the camp,
are valuable as noncommlssioned OH
GERS. and will be given their warrsnts
as such. This announcement Will
serve to alleviate some of the disap'
pointment caused by the failure of
many of the applicants at the camp to
get their commissions, and at the same
time a serious difficulty in the organic
ing of the new National Army will be
overcome. The problem of supplying
a number Of noncommIssioned officers
to help in the drilling and training Of
the drafted men has been the cause OF
a great deal of conjecture.
The date set for the men to report
to the environments is also significant,
in that in indicates that the Washing
ton authorities are determined to be-
gin the mobilization of the draft army
by the 5th of September.

GLEN BURNIE WANTS
TO BE IN CITY FOLD
BaIlimore's Mayor Surprised By Cues
ton Put To Him at Fete
Made Short Address

Glenburnie wishes to know why the
city's proposed annexation does not
include it. That was the question put
to Mayor Preston of Baltimore Satur-
day night when he stopped at "a car
nival held there. Possibly 1000 people
were in attendance.
Mayor Preston admitted his surprise
today at the sentiment in Glenbufnie.
On the Magothy river is an encamp-
ment of the Boys Brigade and the
Mayor was returning home from there
when friends at Glenburnie hailed him,
demanding a speech. He made short
address.
The Mayor told the people OF the VIII
lage that the city had to be modest in
it's demands. Though they were not
included in the proposed city limits,
they would, he said, benefit from an
nexation because the closer the city
came to them the more direct would
be the advantages from the overflow.
Glenburnie would prosper and grow
just as Roland Park, Govans and other
communities had done

CRAVE DANGER SEEN
IN DRINKING WATER
Camp Meade's Troops Should Have
Good Water Supply
FAILURE OF FILTRATION PLANT
Would Mean Menace To Health Chief
Engineer State Board Of Health
Enters Protest To Govt.

The State Board of Health has warn
ed the United States Government that
the water supply source chosen for
Camp Meade is badly polluted. and
that any temporary failure in filtra-
ton would endanger the health of
thousand of soldiers.
In the face of this protest the origi-
nal plans are being carried out.
An alternate supply of good water,
suggested by the State officials. has
apparently been discarded because the
cost would be greater and the time
for construction longer.
Warning that menace exists from
sewerage contamination of Camp
Meade's water supply and that the
health OF 10000 men is threatened
has gone from the Maryland State
Board of Health TO the United States
Government In spite of this the work
goes on at Camp Meade and will be
finished as first planned
Here is what will exist
Water for supplying the Pennsyl-
vania draft troops, 10000 and more
men, will be drawn from WEIGHS
Bridge, on the Little Patuxent River,
in Anne Arundel county.
Sewage from the drains and other
waste sources at the Maryland House
of Correction and at the camp of the
Junior Republic will empty into Dor
sey Run, which contributes to the Lit
tie Patuxent, above Welchs Bridge.
A quarter OF a million gallons daily
of sewage will flow into the water
used for drinking and other purposes
by the Camp Meade troops and visi-
tors at the cantonment
The filtration plant now in con-
struction by the government will
cleanse the water, provided there is
no mechanical failure on the plant
nor inefficient handling of the filtra-
ton
