Y. M. c. A. HUT HIT
BY BURSTING SHELL

Fragments of a bursting she'll
pierced the canvas sides of an Adrian
tent type of Y NJ. c. A. hut in charge
of George W. Titus, formerly clergy
man of Mishawaka, Ind, according to
a cablegram received by the Y. M. c.
A. War Work Council. Mr.. Titus was
attached to an advanced hospital unit
and acted as stretcher bearer as well
as being in the hospital day and night.
He is loved by the soldiers for his
heroism and self-sacrifce, and when
the hospital was ordered to move they
feared the loss of Titus so greatly that
the Colonel demanded of the Y. M. c.
A. that Titus remain, saying he was
considered a permanent member of
the unit
This regard is typical of that shown
to all secretaries with the fighters on
the mobile front To Y. NJ. c. A. girl
worker who cheered up the soldiers in
an advanced dressing station, the
wounded men said:
you are the best medicine we get"

SOME CHILDREN
ABANDON KITTENS
Cruelty To Animals An Evidence OI
German Degeneraey.. Don't Inii-
tate The Huns

One of the evidences of German de-
generacy is said TO be the habit the
children there display of torturing an
imals 1t is not surprising to hear this
If a land that tolerates the kaiser. bu:
4 will probably be a shock TO most
people to find that there are children
right here in Annapolis who appar-
emily are little better than young
Huns.
Last night some children abandoned
three kittens at the foot of Gloucester
street. The little creatures hardly had
their eyes open, and if they had not
been taken in by a resident they would
have been sure of a slow death from
exposure and starvation.
A short time ago single kitten
was abandoned at the same place, and
last night passers-by recounted sew
eral similar incidents that have hap
pened lately A petty officer in the
Navy told of rescuing kitten that had
been brutally stoned, and then thrown
into Spa reek, but which had dragged
itself to his door in terrible condi-
ton. Another kitten was found on
Gloucester street last fall, torn and
MANNED, and it was reported that it
had been wantonly shot by a colored
boy.
Such cruelty as this is unworthy Of
civilized persons, and it is inconceiva-
BILE in children with ordinary instincts.
Cats may not be necessary at any
time, and they may be especially un-
desirable in war time. but those to
whom they belong should accept the
responsibility of providing for them
or else of seeing that they are merci-
fully put out of the way.
The S. p. c. A has some work to do
in this connection. it would appear.
Steps will be taken to make the chill
dren who abandoned the kittens last
night realize the seriousness of what
they did

TEACH MOTHERS

Home demonstration agents of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture and the State agricultural col
child welfare work carried on at the
community weighing stations for chill
dren in many of the large cities. The
agents give the mothers advice on the
proper feeding of their children and
urge the use of milk and milk dishes.
They find this a sure means of arous-
ing interest in food work, for women
may always be reached by an appeal
to them through the health of their
own children and by showing them
real economy in new dishes.
