DELIGHTFUL MUSIC
AT DANCE GIVEN
BY THE GOVERNOR
Last Of Series Of Entertain
ments At The Executive
Mansion
CAMP MEADE QUINTET
CHARMS THE AUDIENCE
Patriotism Of Naval Academy
Band, Who Give Their Serv-
ices On These Occasions

Too much cannot be said commend
atory of the patriotic spirit of the
members of the Naval Academy Band,
who. from time to time. have given
their services to the War Camp Com
munity Service, and have aided in
making all patriotic meetings and en-
tertainments the success they are.
Last night was no exception. The mu-
sic of the Naval Academy Orchestra
under the leadership of Prof. Torovs-
ky, was a delightful feature of the
last of the series of dances given the
service men at the Executive Man
sion by the Governor and Mrs. Har-
rington There could be no dance
without music, and all should appre-
ciate the contributory services of the
orchestra of these musicians, who,
from truly patriotic motives, play
from time to time TO entertain the
men of the service.
Despite the heat there were some
two hundred men present from the
rifle range, sailors and marines, and
as many young girls with their official
chaperons. Dancing was enjoyed even
though the dancers perspired freely,
khaki coats telling the tale
A feature of the evening was a
group of songs by a quintet from
Camp Meade, composed of Privates
Taylor, Maley, Roberts, Smith and
Taylor. Their voices are in perfect
accord and the tone is round and clear
and the harmony excellent. Their
repertoire was chosen from popular
songs of the day, and by request sang
Garry Me Back To Ole Virginny."
This made a great hit, as did the
Long, Long Trail" sung at the Gov
ernor's request
The singing was done for the most
part in the open, only one song being
sung indoors. The piano had been
placed on the lawn under the bay
window, between the two conserva
tories, and the songs of these beauti-
full voices fioated out over the lawn
and carried for blocks around. Great
crowds gathered on the outside rail
of the Governors Circle to listen to
the singing. The piano accompanist
was Miss Esther Cutchin, a graduate
same class with Mr.. Adolf Torovsky,
son of the bandmaster at the Naval
Academy. Miss Cutchin also played
two numbers, besides accompanying
the singers.
The soloist was Miss Agnes Reid,
of Baltimore, who was accompanied
on the piano by Mr. Moss. Miss Reid
has clear, sweet voice, well trained,
and Which she has under perfect con-
troll. Her songs pleased her large au-
dience.
The dance and entertainment, the
last of the series at the Executive
Mansion. of which the Governor and
Mrs. Harrington have been the
charming hosts, was fitting climax,
and the service men expressed CRATE
full appreciation.

In discussing his candidacy today
Senator Duvall said:
Many of my friends in the party
and the district have been urging me
to become a candidate for Congress,
and have entered the contest with an
earnest desire to be of service to the
people of Southern Maryland. As |
say in the first paragraph of my an
nouncement, it certainly would appear
to be the right thing to do for the dis
trict to send to Washington, in the
gravest crises in the affairs of the
country, a Representative who is in
thorough sympathy and accord with
the President of the United States.
MY experience in business and
other lines, and Identification with the
varied interests of our people. with the
and the laboring men of the upper part
farmers and fishermen of the counties
of our county and the city wards,
have been told by partial friends. is
such that it was my duty to offer
them an opportunity to vote for me-
My personal view may lead me to be-
lieve that these friends have perhaps
overrated what little have been able
to do for the benefit of the people; but
l hope in the larger field Of Congress,
if the people of the district should hon
or me with an election. to be of much
greater service to them
AT the same time he was being in
terviewed this morning Senator Du-
vail gave out the following outline of
his platform and the pledges upon
which he seeks the support of the vot-
ers of the district
To the Democratic Voters Of the Fifth

sixth Congress of the United States

WHAT MARYLAND WILL
GIVE IN NEW DRAFT
State Has About 19i.557 Men OF The
Proposed New Ages If The
Change is Made

1t is the opinion of army officials
that if the draft ages are extended
to the Is and 45 limits, Maryland will
be called upon to register 194.557 men,
which is 1889 more men than were
registered in the first draft.
The number of new registrants in
the United States based on the Is to
as limit will be slightly above 49,
100000 The class of IS to 20 is ex-
pected to yield 100000, while an
army of 100000 is looked for from
the class of 81 to As. From the class
of 81 to 81, the country has already
taken 100000 men of the best sol
dier material in history. The last
named class is expected to yield at
least 1000, 900 in the new draft
These are the minimum figures, and
it means that every man of the seven
millions will be of the type and
physique of those now on the battle
front in France.

tract for sea-wall construction at the

the middle of this morning, few mo-
ments after starting out to look over
some of the work of his company. His
collapse was absolute and for a time
his life was disparied of. After frs
aid had been rendered he was rushed
TO the hospital in the Naval Academy
ambulance. and for hours DR.. Ray
mond Speer worked over him before
he was revived, it being necessary to
use all possible means to revive him.
When taken to the hospital the man
was found to have a temperature of
112.
Moaut had been subject to heat at
tacks. and always carried an umbrel-
la with him, but even this did not
save him from the driving rays of to-
days attack of Old Sol He was seen
TO fall by one of the Government in
spectors on the work at the Academy
and was at once gotten into the shade
while the medical authorities were
notified.
Mr.. Moaut has been living in An
napolis, boarding on Holland street
His home, however. is in Baltimore,
where he lives with his daughter, Mrs.
Louise Hartley, at 1885 West Mulber-
ry street
Although this was the only case of
absolute heat collapse today in An
napolis today, there were numerous
cases of near prostration. and very
general slowing up of effort on the
part OF persons whose work required
physical exertion

minstrator Maltbie, of Baltimore, to
make investigation of the Ice condi-
tions in this city and to probe deeply
into the mo Ice" problem which is of
great local concern.
Ice has long since ceased to be a
luxury and is now a necessity. To do
without ice with the temperature at
103 degrees as it has been today on
the porches Of Annapolis homes, is
what few can endure. There is no
promise of let-up in the hot weather
''No Change in Temperature" is the
outlook. Without ice this is a night
mare.

Annexation Opinion

Anne Arundel and Baltimore coun-
ties heretofore acting as one in the
fight against city extension through
annexation have come to the parting
of the ways. Anne Arundel's County
Commissioners will not admit lick
ing, and have instructed President
James A. Walton to launch the ex-
pensive machinery for an appeal to
the United States Courts. Baltimore
county, on the other hand, admits it
is "all off, and the Commissioners of
that county yesterday received an
opinion from their counsel. T. Scott
Ofutt, that the board can go no far
ther in litigation in the case, although
private citizens living in the annex
could go into the Federal courts. If
they believed their rights. under the
Fourteenth Amendment to the Fed
eral Constitution, had been violated.
