GIRLS Of CAPITAL
FLOCK TO MEADE
ON SUNDAY TRIP

CAMP MEADE. July Girls from
Washington were almost as numer-
Gus as those from Baltimore yester
day. At one little party of girls it
was proposed that they answer
roll call by States. There were eighty
five girls and they represented thirty
States. War has brought them into
the Government service.
The Washington girls were guests
at a dance at a Knights OF Columbus
building. The on-commissioned stan
of the depot brigade. those who train
the new men just arriving, spread
before the visitors a feast that was
greatly enjoyed. The Washington
girls, so far away from their homes
and former pastimes and occupa-
tions, expect to come again next Sat-
urday or on some other Saturday aft
ernoon.
Mothers from many parts 'of the
country were here to see soldiers,
particularly to see the new men who
have had no passes yet to visit their
homes.
The rule about leaving the camp
after retreat could not be enforced
because the railway company could
not handle the problem at that time.
and II was late before the greater
number OF visitors were on their way
home.
Weddings have occurred in the
past few days at the ''Y" and Knights
OF Columbus buildings. In some
cases the girls have gone 70 Annapo-
lis for the licenses when the men
could not get pass.

the severe winter, which kept the
bay well frozen over and prevented
oyster dredgers from disturbing the
young crabs, Beach officials are look

WOMEN WATERS
 SOLVE PROBLEM

Philadelphia, July 9-In the inva- sion of women walters in exclusive clubs here, another male help prob lem directly traceable to the war, seems to have been solved As was the case in the drafting of women to operate elevators the hiring of waitresses in clubs patronized almost entirely by men, wa first in the na- ure of an experiment, but so well did they do their work that the step has been followed by similar orgsniza- tions.
 The Art Club was the pioneer in the innovation. Then the Univers- ity Club the Union League, and the Engineers Club, filled the shortage of men walters with women. Others contemplate a like move.
 That the waitresses are a success is vouched for by the steward of one of the organizations, who declared that no complaints have been received regarding the service, but, to the contrary the members seem highly pleased with the change. Although the advent of waitresses in clubs IS purely a war emergency they seem destined to remain not only for the duration of the conflict. but afterward.

WANTS CREDIT
 GIVEN TO ITALY

Philadelphia, July Civilian Pot ter, former ambassador to Italy and now Federal Fuel Administrator for Pennsylvania, says it is time to give the Italian nation credit for the great part she has played in the war.
 Just consider" said MT. Potter, what might have been the fate of the Allies had Italy, with her army and navy, gone with the Central Pow CTS. France at the outbreak of the war would have had to divide her ar my to protect her Italian frontier.
 "The small but brave little British army would have been powerless to assist France both on the Western and Italian fronts. Italy remained neutral until her weakened army was strengthened, cast her lot with the al- lies and helped to hold the Huns un- til America came into the war.
 Let the American people show their gratitude to Italy by placing everywhere the Italian flag among the Old Glory, the Union Jack, the Fri Color of France and the flag of brave little Belgium"
