WANTS ELECTION MEN
TO SERVE IN DRAFT
Governor Issues Proclamation
Appealing To Them To Help
The Local Boards of State
WANTS NO FEE CHARGED

Governor Harrington wants the
men appointed as Election Judges and
clerks in the various precincts of the
State to put their shoulder 10 the Ma
tional Army wheel and volunteer for
service in registering the next call of
draft selects.
In a proclamation issued today. the
Governor. among other things. says:
Whereas, the judges and clerks of
election are especially qualified to
perform the task of registering the
man-power OF the State within the
limits to be prescribed, and whereas
the usual places of registration and
election in each precinct and election
district are the most convenient for
such work;
Now, therefore,I Emerson c. Har-
rington. Governor of, the State of
Maryland, do hereby call upon every
Judge and clerk of election TO volun-
teer his services for the aforesaid reg
istration on the day to be named, and
do also call upon all the owners or
tenants of the premises usually used
as places of registration and election
to tender the same free of all charge
on the day of the Federal registration.
All judges and clerks of election, and
all owners or tenants of premises used
for registration and election. are here
by requested to communicate with the
local draft board having jurisdiction
over the territory i'm which they re-
side"

REGISTRATION IS
Affected BY LAW
Annexation Bill Creates Tangle
Over Listing Of National
Army Men
GREEN TAKES ACTION

And now Annexation has got itself
tangled up with Federal Draft Army
regulations, and created a further
conflict of authority" which needs
Strengthening out. States Attorney N.
II. Green. of Anne Arundel, the chair
man, and the other members of the
Local Draft Board, have taken up with
the Office of Adjutant General War
field the question of who is TO do the
registration work and to list the resi-
dents of Brooklyn and Curtis Bay in
the registration proposed for August
"a. and that contemplated for Septem-
Der under the increased age draft bill.
It is pointed out that the local board
is supposed to work only in Anne
Arundel and has absolutely no juris-
diction in the city. That the question
is real one and one which will re-
quire some Strengthening out, is indi-
Gated by the fact that, now that Curtis
Bay and Brooklyn are parts of Balti-
more city, States Attorney Green, nor
the Sheriff of Anne Arundel have jur-
isdiction criminally or even in civil
actions. Therefore, if a Stacker re-
fuses TO answer their call or does not
show up on registration day, they can
not arrest him and bring him in for
action. AS these arrests would all
have to be made on warrants sworn
out in Baltimore city and served by
the Sheriff of the city or by City Po-
lice, the Local Board holds that GER
tainly the job of registering these res
idents rightly belongs to the nearest
local board within the city limits.
AS the point has been raised with
the Adjutant General by Mr.. Green, it
is expected that some investigation of
the question involved will be made
and a ruling obtained from General
Warfeld before the next registration
date. which is August "a. With au-
thority divided and the Anne Arundel
Board deprived of any criminal juris-
diction it is pointed out that the op-
portunity for slackers to dodge regis
tration is increased TO serious proper
tions.

CRUELTY TO ANIMALS

Some hardhearted person, having be
fore him neither the love of God nor
fear of the devil, some days ago, drop
ped four little kittens on the road,
|. (Second Street Extended,l leading TO
Spa View Heights. They were too
young to feed themselves or even to
eat. They would have starved to death
but for the kindness of some nearby
neighbors, who put them out of their
misery by drowning them.
Why will people. living in civil
lized community, be guilty of such
cruelty? The humane people of the
town are contributing freely for the
support of Society for the Proven
tion of Cruelty to Animals and employ
an Agent to look after such cases. Per
sons keeping female dogs and cats,
can not always prevent them from
breeding. Mr.. r. Lee Duvall, the So
ciety's Agent, will always call and get
such superauous young or helpless ami
mails and destroy them in humane
way.

Course In Application For COm-
mutation OF Sentence

Goveror Harrington is still unable
to settle in his mind what to do about
the application for a eommutation TO

tence of John Henry Evans. The Gov
ernor today stated that he was so inn
pressed by some of the allegations
made by negroes brought before him
by Jerry L. Smith, attorney and
George Greenwich of Cumbersome, in
which attacks were made upon the
moral character of the prosecuting
witness, a fourteen-year-old colored
girl, that he was determined to send
detectives to the neighborhood to in

tive Joseph Dougherty, of Baltimore,

SAYS DRAFT LIMITS

May Not Be Available From
The 18-To-45 Call
u. S. MUST WIN THE WAR

A hint that the proposed new draft
ages of is to as may be still further
extended. which was contained in the
statements yesterday by Gen. March,
chief of staff, while he was before the
Senate Military Committee, has ere
ated a great deal of interest among
very young men. and the more aged
males of Annapolis General March
indicated that a further extension of
the proposed age limits may be neces-
sary to keep the deferred classes of
the earlier registrations from being
drawn upon.
1T is not beyond the range of pos
sibility that this Congress win have to
authorize the invasion of other classes
in order to carry the work through" E"
March is quoted as saying in testi-
mony made public today.
THE United States is going to see
this thing through The way that we
can win is to put the greatest num-
ber of men over there that we can.
Hardshipsl No man can go into war
without hardships.'
March made it clear that there is
little possibility of France or England
greatly increasing their armies. Re
plying to a question of Senator Kirby
regarding the strength of England
and France March replied:
THE only way that Germany can be
whipped is by America going into this
thing with her whole strength. The
Allies have a superiority in man
power on the western front today for
the first time because American troops
are there in large numbers"

quired From A. A. Co.

Baltimore had the chance of a lifetime
to do something big" in the harbor
line.

ed to think the money could not be
spent to better advantage
The Mayor wants J. A. c. Smith. for
mer Dock Commissioner of New York,
to make a study of the entire water
front and suggest plan for it's de-
velopment on broad and comprehen-
sive scale. Mr.. Hastings and Mr.
