ANNE ARUNDEL TO
TAKE AN APPEAL
IN ANNEXATION
Commissioners At Their Weekly
Meeting Authorize President
Walton To Act
WILL TRY AND GET A
SUPREME COURT RULE
Matter Considered During Long
Executive Session OF Board
Held This Morning

Anne Arundel County is going to
appeal the annexation case from the
decision of the Maryland Court of APP
peals and carry the matter to the
United States Supreme Court This
was determined by the Board of Com
missioners of the county at their
weekly meeting held here today.
The Commissioners. on motion of
Commissioner Wilkinson, of the Fifth
District, which contains the portion
of the county in the annexed area, au-
thorized President James A. Walton to
take the necessary steps TO carry the
case to the United States Courts in an
effort to have the unanimous ruling
of the Maryland Court of Appeals set
aside Mr. Walton is to immediately
get into communication with r. p.
Melvin, of Annapolis; Stevenson A.
Williams and former Attorney General
Isaac Lobe Straus. who conducted the
case for this county in the Maryland
Courts He will make a report upon
the details of the appeal at the next
weekly meeting OF the Commissioners.
Just what line the appeal will take
has not been determined, according to
President Walton, but while no details
have been finally worked out. ii is
understood that the action will be to
have some nonresident of the State
of Maryland, holding Anne Arundel
County bonds, TO attack the law on
the ground that through annexation
the taxable basis is being reduced and
the security backing his bonds is
reduced.
Just how the case will finally go
to the Supreme Court is another mat
ter in some doubt. but It is expected
il would follow the same routine as
was the case in the Annapolis negro
disfranchisement registration law of
some years ago This action was tried
first in the United States District
Court at Baltimore going from there
to the U. s. District Court of APP
peals at Richmond and then to the
Supreme Court
While the Commissioners have de-
termined to take the appeal, this ac-
ton is not by any means universally
endorsed throughout the county
Many persons take the stand that in
the face of a unanimous opinion of
Maryland's Appellate Court, includ-
ing the vote of Judge Burke, of Bal
timore County, the appeal is already
doomed TO failure. and simply means
the throwing of good money away, and
such a litigation is bound to be a
very expensive proposition. Whether
the county will have to bear the full
expense or will be aided by some of
the corporations in the annexed area
which do not want to go under
municipal control, are matters still to
be determined.

where in France who have been anx-
iously awaiting news from him for
the past four months, today received
a cablegram that he is we'll
Captain Hyde is attached to duty
with the 157th Brigade Depot Head
quarters, and it is thought his silence

he had no opportunity to write.
1t is needless to say that his family
were delighted to hear from him and
that he is well. Captain Hyde has
been made a father in the past few
weeks. and the news had been cabled
him. He is a son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hyde. of Washington, and a nephew of
Mrs. W. z. Miller and Miss Helen
White, this city His wife was before
her marriage, Miss Rae Smith, daugh-
ter of Mrs Elsie Russell Smith, this
city
A letter was received today from
Capt Hyde's brother, lieut.. John w.
Hyde, Somewhere in France" which
contains much of interest Lieut..
Hyde writes that the French people
are only allowed one pound of sugar
and it costs over four dollars in
American money Three ounces of
bread day are allowed women and
hildren and two ounces to men. Lieut..
Hyde says there is no such thing as
ice cream and cigarettes in France at
this time.
The letter is full of interest and
contains much information, and is
written in humorous vein

400 CAMP MEAD|TES
MADE U. S. CITIZENS
Oath Administered In Record
Time BY Judge Moss OF
The Arundel Court
LOYALTY voUCHED FOR

In record-breaking time 400 Camp
Meade soldiers were yesterday made
naturaliZed Americans when the oath
was administered by Judge Robert
Moss, of the Anne Arundel County
sisted in the work by Deputy Court
Clerk William ~ Woodward and
Court Crier c. A. Brady.
The oaths were not administered
individually as was the case a few
months ago when a great number of
foreign born soldiers were given citi-
zenship. The necessary papers had
all been prepared in advance and all
of the candidates were assembled in
one of the bungalows of the Young
Mems Christian Association. All
raised their right hands at once and
the oath of allegiance was administer
ed by Judge Moss.
The exercises were impressive.
The band of the 154th Depot Bri-
gade furnished the music, and both
Judge Moss and Brigadier Geperal
Joseph A. CASTOR, the cantonment
commander, addressed the new citi-
one of the best ever heard lin the big
wooden city. and he aroused the new
citizens to an outburst of patriotic
enthusiasm.
He greeted them as new Americans
and he warned them that liberty and
license are diverse; that the liberty
which they have obtained by becom-
ing citizens of the greatest of repub-
lies did not license them to interfere
with the liberty of others. He also
compared love of country with the
love of parent for child.
"The more sacrifices a parent is
called upon to make for his or her
child" he said. "the more he is made
to love that child. So it is with your
country. You are making sacrifices
here: you may make greater sacri-
fees over there, but the greater the
sacrifices the greater will be your
love for this great land. which is your
own. I am sure that there is not
man here who would count any hon
or in this world greater than the
honor of proving his love for his
adopted land by making the supreme
sacrifice and being wrapped in death
in the star-spangled banner to which
he has pledged his allegiance"
Every man joined in the applause
which greeted these words. The gem
eral then called attention to the fact
that there was another side, and pos
sibly none of them would be obliged
to go to France. 81 observed in the
morning papers," he said, that the
Yanks and the Tommies and the
Poilus still have Heinie on the run,
and if it continues you may be robbed
of your chance of fighting in France.
At this point the speaker paused
and a husky-voiced chap in the rear
of the bungalow said TOO bad!" 1t
could be heard by everyone and
laughed.
Judge Moss congratulated the new
citizens and gave them bit of whole
some advice and encouragement. At
the conclusion of the exercises the
band played the national anthem and
all of the men stood at attention.
Practically every nationality was rep
resented among the 400. There were
about 10 Turks, and it is said that
one of the new citizens was Hindu.
Others came from Italy, Sweden,
Spain, Mexico, Ireland, England, Hol-
land: and in fact, all of them "over
there excepting Germany and Aus
tria.

TRIAL WILL DECIDE
CITY JURISDICTION
Case Of Daniel Dixon In Offense
Committed In County Is
To Come Up
SoPER TO HEAR THE CASE

William II. Lawrence yesterday ap-
piled for a writ of habeas corpus in
the Baltimore County test case which
is to decide whether the Baltimore
City Court have criminal jurisdiction
in the new annexed territory at this
time. Judge Morris A. Soper will
hear argument in the case this after
noon.
The writ is being applied for in the
case of Daniel Dixon. of Baltimore.
on the charge of stealing a revolver
from Charles Johnson, colored. Dix
on has been indicted by the Grand
Jury of Baltimore County. This test
will be a standard for Baltimore and
Anne Arundel Counties section af-
fected in the new order.
Dixon was before Magistrate Will
Jams in the Canton Police Station
yesterday morning on the charge stat
ed and was committed by him in de-
fault of $500 bail to the Baltimore
City Jail for the action of the Grand
Jury. Formerly it had been the Gus
tom to hold such cases for the ac-
ton of the Circuit Court of Baltimore
County.
Since the annexation law was de-
clared valid by the Court of Appeals,
the officials as we'll as those in that
section of the county affected have
been concerned as to the jurisdiction
of justices in cases where crimes
have been committed in the territory
which becomes a part of the city.
1t is the opinion of the majority of
the officials that under the new act
the local authorities have jurisdic-
tion in all cases of crimes committed
in the territory covered by the an
nexation bill, and it is thought that
such will be declared by the courts.
