UNITED WAR WORK
FOR CAMPAIGN FUNDS
Importance Of Great Drive To
Start Next Week, Much
Work To Be Done
WHAT SECRETARY SAYS

The importance of the United War
Work Campaign for funds is recog-
nized by every department of the Gov
ernment Both Secretary Baker and
Secretary Daniels have written letters
TO the Director-General of the Cam
paign, and Postmaster-Gener Burle-
son has instructed rural carriers TO
distribute circulars and information
relating to the Campaign.
Secretary Baker says: "On my re-
turn from Europe l am more than
pleased to learn of the successful
progress which you have made in pro-
jecting the plan of the United War
Work Campaign. | have received most
gratifying reports of the splendid
spirit of cooperation on the part of
the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion, Knights of Columbus, Jewish
Welfare Board, and other agencies. -
The Secretary also welcomes the sug-
gestion to extend the drive to Army
camps, and he promises hearty CO.
operation in furthering the plan from
commanding officers
Secretary Daniels says: ANY one
who has seen what l have of the in
valuable service rendered by the
Young Mems Christian Association,
Young Womens Christian Associa-
tion, Catholic War Council knights
of Columbus), Jewish Welfare Board,
American Library Association, Saliva
ton Army, and the Camp Community
Service, must be proud of these mani
festations of unselfishness of the
American people in the boys of our
large and growing Navy. l would
appreciation of what their varied and
practical ministry to the body, mind
and spirit of our fighting forces
means in the accomplishment of the
great purpose before us in the war. "
Secretary Daniels has also issued an
order directing all naval officers to
give the campaign every possible CO.
operation and assistance.
Here in Annapolis the Committee in
charge of the Campaign is actively at
work, and some individuals are also
engaged in voluntary efforts to make
the results successful and creditable
to Annapolis and the county. Miss
Constance Brady has undertaken to
give a vaudeville show on November
26, at the Colonial Theatre; and she
has pledged at least 100000 to the
Campaign from its proceeds.
The company associated with Miss
Brady in this patriotic work is known
as "The Wonder Workers" and as
sociated with Miss Brady in its or
ganization are: Mrs. w. o. Stevens,
Mrs. Dewitt c. Redgrave, who will act
as critic and technical adviser, and
Mrs. Abram Moss, who has charge OF
the publicity and sale of seats.

RATE ON SHORT LINE
Navy Men At Glen Burnie ASK An
Explanation

In their official publication, men of
the navy rife range at Glen Burnie
ask the question, "Why the ANNAPOLIS
Short Line charge us 43 cents for one
way to Baltimore and 81 cents fer a
return ticket"
]. C. Cliff, general freight and pas
senger agent of the company, explain
ed last night that the rates in effect
on the Annapolis Short Line were the
outgrowth of many years leveIop-
ment. This railway, he explained,
had not been taken over by the gov
ernment. If it had, the regular rate
of three cents a mile would have been
put into effect, which would mean
that the round trip fare to Glen Bur-
ME would be go cents instead OF 54
cents. Mr.. Cliff said that the state
ment made by the sailors that 43
cents was charged one way and 81
cents for a return ticket was mislead-
ing, as round trip ticket may be OBJ
tanned for 81 cents
The problem of an equitable adjust
ment of rates, he admitted, is one that
will have to be worked out. In view
of the fact that The railway has not
been taken over by the government,
as well as realization that delays
will be incurred when an adjustment
is sought before the Public Service
Commission, no action looking to a
readjustment of rates has been taken.

SUES FOR DIVORCE

Yesterday afternoon proceedings for
a divorce, a mensa ct thora, were in
stituted in the Circuit Court for Anne
Arundel county by Mrs. Mary See-
bohm Duvall, wife of Joseph w. Du-
vail, of this city.
Mrs. Duvall's attorney is A. Theo-
dore Brady, Esq.
The bill states, among other things
that the husband of the plaintiff has
acted with absolute indifference ever
since their marriage in August, 1916
that they have now been living apart
for several months, without any over
lures looking to reconciliation; and
further that $11 is all that her hus-
band has contributed towards her sup
port since their marriage. Exhibits
are filed with the bill for divorce in
support of the several contentious
made The bill further states that the
income of the husband of the plaintiff
amounts to about $500 per month
from real estate and other interests
Alimony is asked for pending the ter
mination of the suit, and such other
reliefs as the Court may feel disposed
to grant.

Mary Seebohm, of Eastport, has fol

One element of the citizens of
Annapolis is overwhelmed with JOY
these days, and they are the people of

now actually accomplished its objects
in the war. and that all of its just
claims will surely be recognized, fill
these patriotic and spirited people
with delight which expresses itself
in every action and the very bearing
In several places in the city, the red,
white and green of Italy is flying be-
sides the Stars and Stripes.
The incident calls attention to the
hearty and loyal support of the war
which has been given unanimously by
the people of Annapolis who are OF
Italian origin. There is no element
among our people which has keen
err appreciation of the issues involved
in the war, or a great determination
to support that war to the utmost and
until all the objects for which the
Allies are fighting have been obtained
The capture of Trent and Trieste,
which were announced yesterday
brought home to these people that
Italy's war aims were now accomplish
ed facts, and their Joy has been with
out limit. Still, they appreciate that
Italy is to give her whole effort to the
continuance of the war as long as an
enemy to the Allies remains in the
field, even though her own direct OBJ
jectives are accomplished.
Not only have the Italians of Annap-
oils contributed most literally to
every war work, and given many OF
their young men to the service with
the utmost cheerfulness, but a great

the Naval Academy band, have given
their. musical ability and training to
help the various movements, and this
has meant great deal. Citizens of
Annapolis generally share in the hap

deserving people.

VOTING PROGRESSES
AT NAVAL ACADEMY
Regular Balloting For New York
State Men Now Stationed Here,
With Election Machinery
RESERVE OFFICERS VOTE

The Naval Academy is helping to
elect a governor of New York today.
and Academy officials are having the
closest connection with the practical
conduct of political matters in the his
tory of the institution by virtue of the
New York law which provides for the
voting of its citizens who are in the
naval or military service.
Service men from its citizens who are
attached here are also voting, but the
ballots have been sent to them indi-
divually. TO be marked and certified
under certain formalities, and. then re-
turned to the election officials. Under
the New York law, the ballots were
sent to the Superintendent of the
Academy, and to the heads of other
Naval units, and he becomes charged
with the duty of giving the opportunity
to each qualified voter under his COM
mand the right to ovte.
Certainly thirty of forty, and per-
haps half hundred, of those attached
to the Academy are qualified to vote as
registered voters of New York State
Cutie number of these are members
of the class of Reserve officers. which
has just assembled. Others are en-
ployed at the Academy in different
capacities. The ballots which have
been sent down are huge affairs. quite
resembling those used at a county
election under the Wilson law. A gen.
eral order was issued some time ago
informing those attached to the Acad-
emy of their right to vote, and inform
ing them how the voting would be con-
Quoted
The balloting is being conducted
secretly, as is generally the law
throughout the country, and is taking
place in the Administration office, with
Superintendent Eberle in direct touch.
In fact, his telephone booth is being
used as the place where the voters can
mark their ballots in secret When
they are deposited and the voting COM
pleted, they will be collected and the
Superintendent will certify that the
balloting has been conducted in con-
formity with the law.-yThe ballots will
then be forwarded, with the certificate,
to the New York officials.
In this connection il may be noted
that Maryland is one of the few States
which has not given its soldier and
sailor boys the right to vote Such a
proposition was put before the Legis-
lature at the special session of 1916,
but it lost because it became tied up in
a miserable partisan squabble, and
the rights of the States sons who
were fighting the nations battles were
thought less of than some political ad-
vantage. At the regular session of
last year, the matter was brought up
in the form of Constitutional amend
ment, and this has been placed before
the voters at the election of today
However. before another election rolls
around, it is likely to be of little use
and the boys who went across the
seas will have lost their ballots, just
as did those on the Border in 1916.
