Aroused by the stirringly patriotic
appeal Of former Governor Phillips
/. Goldsborough, Annapolis went
over the top" in it's Third Liberty
Loan drive last night and drove the
Anne Arundel County total OF sub
scription well over the 100000 mark.
There is now every reason to believe
that with the outside activities, in
Guiding the various ladies' committees.
the county will go well over it's al
lotted quota of $244,OO0 in bond sub
scriptions.
While last nights meeting, held in
the Hall of the House of Delegates,
was not particularly large in point of
attendance, it made up in enthusiastic
cally supporting the government.
The speakers. including former Gov
ernor Goldsborough and Mr.. Albert
G. Towers, were introduced by Gov
ernor Harrington.
Thrilling his auditors as he did
when a visitor at Annapolis boosting
the Second Loan some moths ago, Gov
ernor Goldshorough announced his
feeling of "at-home-ness" among his
friends of Annapolis. Later in the
evening when he had called for sub
scriptions to the Loan, as the various
persons throughout the audience
arose TO announce their subscriptions,
the former Chief Executive of the
State recognized and called them by
name. including in many instances
their first name in his verbal recogni-
tion of their pledge.
The first big subscriptions came
from the four banks of the town, in
GLIDING the new Annapolis Bank,
which is shortly to open it's doors at
the corner of Gloucester street and
Church Circle These subscriptions
totalled $4,000
Announcement was made during the
taking I'm of subscriptions that the
wife of retired naval officer living
in Annapolis had pledged $4,000 worth
of Jewelry and that arrangements
had been made whereby this jewelry
was to be sent to Baltimore and there
disposed of that the proceeds may be
invested in bonds.
Another interesting and stirring fea-
ture of the meeting was when the
members of the Naval Academy Band
went to the front" After furnish
ing the music for this meeting and in
deed giving their services for scores
of patriotic gatherings recently, the
bandsmen. led of by Leader Adolph
Trovosky- gave material demOnstra-
tion of their loyalty. Practically
81, ua-ffa Il
for a loan.
Following the big subscriptions by
the banks, there came along a host of
sizable subscriptions by individuals.
These included Mrs. W. c. Claude,
$4,000. Major John dep. Douw, $4,000;
Mr.. Robert L. Werntz, $4,000; Mr.. w.
NJ. Holiday. $1,000 Mr.. w. Bladen
I.owndes. S1.500; Mr. Harry j. Hop
kins. Slice; former Governor Colds
borough and Mr.. Towers, $500 each.
Then there were scores of smaller
subscriptions running from $50 to
$500
1t was estimated that between 115
and 120 of the attendance of about 100
took some sized bond.
The meeting as a whole was one of
the most successful and stirring ever
held in Annapolis and did a good part
toward putting Annapolis Ion the
map" and viii almost surely result in
bringing to this town one of the
Honor Flags to be issued by Secre-
tary of the Treasury McAdoo TO all
localities which oversubscribed their
allotment
