OF BRITAIN DAY HERE
Eloquent Speakers Pay Tribute
To Bravery Of British
In War
HON. H. B. MCFARLAND
PRINCIPAL SPEAKER
Local Speakers Add To Express
ed Appreciation Of
Britains Help

With that dignity that is characteris-
tic of Britain herself, an imposing
ceremony celebrating Britain's day.
was held last night in the House of
Delegates.
Back of the speakers desk were
hung two large British flags at either
side, with Old Glory in the center.
Music was furnished by the Naval
academy band which played under the
direction of Bandmaster Torovsky pa
triotic tunes, including "Britania Rules
the Waves" and God Save the King"
closing with the national anthem "The
Star Spangled Banner"
Judge Robert Moss, presided, and in
opening the meeting he declared I'VE
are assembled to celebrate, in other
words to honor, the mother of nations,
of all English speaking people"
Democratic Nations Obligated
Judge Moss said the part Great Brit
ain has played in this war place all
democratic nations under obligations
to her He spoke of the grand Eng
lish navy" and what it had done. 1t
is the duty of a country to acknowl-
edge greatness when it knows great
ness, and America should raise her
voice to help Britain police the world.
If we had had an army and navy in
keeping with that of Great Britain we
would not have lost a life in this war.
but where we lost thousands, Great
Britain lost its millions
Judge Moss introduced the first
speaker of the evening the Honorable
Henry b. f. Mcfarland, of Washing
ton, who was the orator of the occas-
ion. Mr.. Mcfarland said that 700
cities of the United States have done
what Annapolis was doing last night.
Where better than in the United
States should Great Britain be hon.
ored. We speak the language Shake
speare spoke and we who are the ply
sical children of Great Britain should
be the first to honor her." he said.
Not Always Friends.
To be sure, he said, we have not al
ways been friends. He related an in
cident of the one hundredth anniver-
sary this year of the undefended boun-
dary line between Canada and the
United States, and told of speech at
that anniversary diner when it was said
how easily Canada could take the U. s.
and how easily Germany through Cam
ada could take the U. S.
Mr.. Mcfarland said old history
books are not calculated to make us
love Great Britain. Whatever diff
ferences there have been in the past,
whatever unfortunate quarrels we
have had, we are now bound by ties OF
gratitude to Great Britain, which may
well draw from us the expression
given in this meeting tonight" said
the speaker.
Few of us know what has been
done, and we viii be stirred to the
very depths with gratitude when the
history of this war is written
Great Britain sent S,500,000 men in
to the arm. 100000 of whom were
from the British Isles. 650.000 were
killed Every third male of the British
Isles was in the army and Great
Britain did more in 40 weeks than
Germany had done in 40 years The
British army made victory for the
Huns impossible Over and over

Kiddies to the number of some 75.

to seven and eight years; kiddies from
all sections of the town and some from
the county, had the time of their life
even if that life was but a short span,

Mothers and the committee had the
time of their lives, too, for it was a
case of
{" Backward, turn backward, oh time

afternoon"
1t is safe to say there never has
been such a children's party in this
old town that granted its charter more
than 225 years ago, as that given by
the Child Welfare committee to the
children who had attended the clinic
during the past twelve months.
The clinic is headed by Mrs. Haf-
rington the governors wife; Miss
Su herland, the district nurse, and the
following committee: Miss Isabella
McNasby, Mrs. Rose Parkinson, Mrs.
Abram Moss, Mrs. Thomas Wade, Mrs.

Linthicum, Mrs. George Heintz, Mrs.

whom worked untiringly to have the
little tots enjoy the afternoon.

won a nice box of tin dishes and other

by Samuel Norwood, who won a toy

Movement Non-Sectarian
A meeting in the lecture room of the
Sunday school was held last week, and
fifty candidates were present. IL was
made plain that the movement was not

just happened that a little group con-

copal church had taken the first steps,
and that general organization on the
broadcast lines was desired, with the
object Of giving to the candidates GER
tain social and wholesome influences
while away from their homes. In
brief, the general object is to give to
these young men just the helps that
we're given to the soldiers and sailors
while in the service of their country,
by the organizations which joined in
the United War Work.
