whose plate tall object, wrapped in
pink crepe paper, stood, and each child
was asked to guess the contents of
the package.
The children marched into the din
ing-room and took their places about
the table, after which the guessing
began Some guessed the package
contained apples. bananas, oranges,
candy, grapes, and even ice cream,
but all guesses were wrong, for when
Alicia opened the package it contain
ed beautiful baby doll, dressed like
an infant. It's wardrobe was COM
plete, even to its bonnet and socks.
Each child received a favor. a
pretty pink basket filed with candy.
Among the novel and artistic good
les" were little candy mice in pink,
white and green, made and shaped by
Alicia's mother and her friend, Miss
Knackstedt
The children who enjoyed this de-
lightful birthday party were the fol-
lowing:

were bound for war, showing them
that the communities were behind
them and wanted them to do their
best. The Governor also urged on the
audience the need for doing all they

also freely discussed. 1t is hoped to
secure an appropriation to deepen the

RE-CANvAS OF VOTE
SHOWS SLIGHT CHANGES
Chief Discrepancy Noted Was In Poll
For Anderson And Revell
For Committeeman,

The Board of Supervisors of Elec-
tions, sitting for the second time as
the Official Board of Canyassers in
connection with the recent primary
election held throughout the county,
have completed the work of recount
ing the vote of several of the pre-
cincts over which dispute was raised
by some of the Progressive candi-
dates who claimed that there were
discrepancies in the returns as made
by the election officials.
The returns from six of the eighteen
precincts that formed the chief bone
of contention, were recounted by the
Election Board, and while they show
ed change in the total vote of prac-
tically all of the candidates, the diff
ference was not sufficient to change
the result previously recorded, which
was that all of the candidates on the
ticket supported by the Organization
forces won out. The principle change
shown was that of the vote for Messrs.
Bruner r. Anderson and Frank S.
Revell, rival candidates for member
ship on the State Central Committee
for the county The first returns
showed that Mr.. Revell won over Mr..
Anderson by a majority of 50 votes.
These figures were reduced by about
Is votes, according to the recount.
The precincts in which the recount
was made were the First Ward of An
napolis. the Waterford Precinct of the
Third District, the First Precinct OF
the Fifth District, and all three pre-
cincts of the Fourth District.

Senate Committee Reports Back Bill
Carrying Necessary Funds For
Testing Ground

The governments ordnance prov
ing ground will be located at Gun
powder Neck and Halls Crossing,
Hartford County
The Senate Appropriations Commit
tee reported back to the Senate the
huge deficiency bill, which is expect
ed to keep the government, particu-
larly the army and navy. going until
Congress meets again in December.
The bill carries an appropriation of
no less than $7.000,000 for the prov
ing ground.
Senator Smith was in Washington
yesterday TO attend the committee
meeting at which the bill was put into
final shape. He worked among his
colleagues so earnestly and per-
suasively that all objection to the
large appropriation, which originally
was only $S.OO0,000, was overcome.
A clause in the bill is so worded
that it carries compensation not only
for the land but for all incidental
incurred by business men and even
tenants on farms.
AT the same time it provides that
the President may take over the
lands Immediately, paying rs per cent
of the value of lands to those owners
not satisfied with the price offered
by the government and permitting
them to sue for the balance.
It is evidently the determination OF
the government to take over the land
on Gunpowder Neck aud such addi-
tional land ON Halls Crossing as ii
may need
Representative Talbot, represent
ing that district, received a delega-
tion of Hartford County farmers,
headed by Messrs. Boyer and Hall
They said they called to see Mr.
Hoover. but he was away, and they
wanted to appear before the Senate
committee to protest against having
their lands taken over. The commit
tee. however, had completed its ses-
sion, and Mr. Talbot arranged with
Secretary of War Baker for hearing
today.

NAVY kICKERS SOON
TO GET into ACTION
Opening Game Of the Season Book
ed for Saturday
EASTERN COLLEGE OPPONENT
Coach DobIe Now Hard al Work With
Material-Large Part Of Which
Is Green

With only six days remaining before
the initial game of the season which
will be with the eleven Of Eastern
College of Manassas, Va, on the COM
ing Saturday, head coach Gilmour
Dobie of the Navy football warriors
began yesterday afternoon to whip q
team into shape for that struggle.
The Manassas lads probably will
not furnish very stubborn opposition
to the sailors in spite of the fact that
the middies' team this season will
have to be built largely of green ma
terial, owing to the graduation of two
classes from the academy since the
close of the last season. as a result of
which many of the seasoned men are
not available.
Under the circumstances, Coach
Dobie is confronted with a problem
that may prove hard one to master,
although there is squad of more than
100 players ON the field daily. The
coach has not, however, had ample
time thus far to satisfactorily gauge
the ability of the candidates. Drills
and practical work, as usual, hamper
the daily practice periods. This was
in evidence yesterday afternoon as
the players we're on the field scarcely
half an hour. However, Dobie
drove them through a short scrim-
mage, after working them out in the
rudiments of the game.
Probably the stiffest problem that
corf~or%o %ho vaw, noaol, so A. Inx,.I
opment of competent men to fiji the
gaps in the line, as graduation took
practically all of the veterans Round
ing out backfield combination ought
to be somewhat easier, for it will be
remembered that last season the often
sive Of the Navy eleven, was composed
entirely of "Plebe" material although
older men got into the mixups now
and then. Therefore, Dobie is now
working with the combination COM
posed of Whelchel at quarter back;
and Ingram, Roberts and Butler, as
the other trio IN the backfield. All Of
these lads are fast and aggressive
players. 1t is more than likely, how
ever, that the new fourth class which
has a record-breaking membership,
will furnish one, or several men for
the backfield, as well as the line posi-
tions.
The policy of showing preference to
players who belong TO the upper
classes which seemed to hold forth at
the academy for a number of years,
but which has been thrown to the dis
card in the last two seasons undoubted-
ly will be continued this season. In
other words, selections for the team
will be based upon meritorious work,
and Plebes will be given the call over
the more seasoned men according to
their mettle. OF course, not much is
expected of the players in their open
ing game. with virtually only a week
in which to organize team for the
fray, but the week intervening before
the contest with the University of Vir-
ginia on the following Saturday. will
be ample time to pcint the players for
that argument.

In France,
Sept. 4, 1917.
My dear Editor:
We have enjoyed the Capitals so
much, they surely contain the dope
(as the saying goes). But we have
not had any since the July 20-27 came
and we feel lost
After a week of the worst weather
have ever experienced, bordering on
a cyclone, it is now perfectly delight
full Last evening was a lovely one
and several of my chums and myself
took our sewing, writing, etc, and
strolled up the hills in back of us
and watched the sunset.
Of course the fact that gazing upon
water usually sets one to musing. We
began wondering and thinking of the
folks at home, and how strange An
napolis must feel with all the boys
away.
Did they give them the send-off you
were urging? ! trust so, for they
well deserve any amount of encour-
agement.
We scanned the draft lists with
much interest and found several
names we knew.
AT the present writing we are still
at our same camp, but we would not
be surprised to move any time. Dame
Rumor has it that we will not spend
the winter here.
/, for one, shall be loath to leave,
for / have grown quite attached to
the place, but | can understand that
it would be almost unhabitable in the
severe winters they have over here.
We have been having rather excit-
ing experiences the past few days.
1t makes one think of all / will have
to relate when return.
Yesterday we celebrated Labor Day
by having a dance in the mess, we
had a five-piece orchestra from the
Machine Gun Co., and they surely do
play we'll.
Our work remains about the same,
sometimes very busy then again quite
slack But when we are slack there
is always much TO prepare for work
that is sure to come.
In following the dispatches you
could well figure out when we are
most occupied.
Have received word of the COM
mencement Of Miss Ram and Miss
Griffith, and | am very sorry that I'll
not have the pleasure of being pres

We are both well and very happy
