Although it has not been officially
announced, it is pretty generally
known about town that the District
Visiting Nurse, Miss Ann Doyle, is to
be shortly detached from work here,
and is to be transferred to another
field, presumably. Baltimore.
The rumor is received with express
sions of regret on ell sides. Miss
Doyle has accomplished splendid work
during her several years in Annapolis
and vicinity, work that has had a
far.reaching effect for good. She is
thoroughly capable. efficient, splen-
did executive and disciplinarian
Her good work has been extended to
the city and county. public schools
where she has frequently given lee
lures and clinics in home nursing
and hygiene. Miss Doyle's removal
should be resisted on all sides, and she
should be retained here in her present
field of work. if POSSIBLE. Her re-
movsl would be a calamity to An

HARDEN GIVES
 ROAST TO THE
 SUB WARE ARE
Replies to ''FatherIand" Party Arguments in Berlin; Paints at
 End of Lecture.

BERLIN, Sept -Maximilian Harden, the famous editor, at a mass meeting last night took dras- tice exceptions to the aims of the new "Fatherland Party which has for it's chief aims the perpetuation of the submarine warfare and whose chief sponsor is Admiral Von Tirpitz. Harden claimed that this warfare should be curbed at once and cited the last protestant, Peru. as show ing that all nations of the world were being injured, whether bellig- erents or neutrals, and that Germany would soon have no country as a friend.
 Harden was hooted at several times but always remained quiet until or der was restored and started again expounding the doctrine of peace.
 At the conclusion of his lecture, Harden tainted from exertion, as he did at last Monday nights meeting, and was taken by friends to his lodgings.

ADMINISTRATOR OF COAL WORKS
 OUT NEW PLAN
Coal to Consumer Will Be Less by First of the Coming Month or
 Soon After.
CUTS OUT MIDDLEMAN

SEATTLE, Sept. 27.-A decrease in the cost of coal to consumer is expected to occur here and else where on the Pacific Coast early in October. Dr. Harry A. Garfield, head of the fuel commission, an- nounced today that his commission is working out plan by which the consumer instead of the middle man will get the benefit of the minimum mine mouth price of coal already established.
 It is said that thus far there has been no reduction in the cost of coal to the consumers on account of the action of the government in forcing a reduction in the cost of coal at the mine mouth. The mid dlemen have been able to purchase their supply cheaper, but they have sold it at the same old price. It is to remedy this con1ition that Dr. Garfield says his commission is making its plans.

If Belgium sanctioned such an agreement she would surrender her nationality. The menace of 1914 was the firing upon 'erman troops which violated Bel sium territory on moving to an at. ack on France. If this menace vas eliminated. Germany, without any notice could continue her mili- tarism, and without unwarranted pro 'ocation could invade Belgium and march through that nations terri tory to make military attack on my country.

TORTURES ARE
 INFLICTED UPON
 RUSS PRISONERS
One Battalion Is Reduced from 20OO to $50 by Cruel Measures
 of Germans.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 27.-Anoth- CT chapter is added to the story of the tortures of German prison camps by Russian soldier who escaped by tunneling with a knife under the electrically fence along the Antwerp-R -Rosendaal line. It has been forwarded to the State Department from Petrograd.
 Brutal treatment and poor and in sufficient food have cost Germany the labor of thousands of prisoners, he says. One labor battalion on the western front, aggregating 2.000 men has been reduced by starvation, ex- posture beatings and death to $50.
 The daily rations for prisoner, he reported. consisted of small amount of bread and turnip soup, the soup enriched occasionally by a bit of horse meat.
 The unfit, the wounded and those who have lost members of their body, were kept in invalid camps un- til they died, but never. he says, TetuTHeu tO Cdupo III 0Cimohy uC cause the officers in command feared the psychological effect upon the people of the sight of the maimed men, often little more than aimated skeletons.
 Stern and implacable methods were used to compel prisoners to work. Ingenious tortures that ended only short of death were inflicted on some. while others were shot out right.
 Punishments varied from enforced standing at attention for day with out food, to beatings with rifle butts, and to hours of suspension in the air. with ropes being tied to wrists while prisoners hands were held be hind their bodies. the result being to throw the weight on the un-nat urally- twisted muscles of arms and shoulders.

MATRlMONY NOW
 CONFRONTING THE
 KING OF GREECE

ATHENS. Sept. 27.-The pros poets of a matrimonial alliance for King Alexander are being widely dis cussed and have become an affair of state.
 Since he ascended the throne and Greece joined the entente. the view has been held that the marriage of the young king with princess of one of the entente countries would be more to the interests of Greece than a private alliance. King Alexander has made it known, how ever, that he did not approve this view, his desire being to marry a young Greek woman of high char acter, the daughter of court offic- ial.
 The issue thus remains open as to whether the decision will conform with what are considered the states interests or with private inclinations of the monarch.

CANADIAN WILL
 HELP TO REPlAN
 CITY OF SALONIKl

OTTAWA. Sept. 27.-Thomas H.

 Saloniki before the war was a city of over 160,000 people, and was the greatest port in the Balkans after Constantinople.
