GERMAN INFLUENCE
IN PERSIA EXTENDED.

AMSTERDAM March 9.-An in
diCation CT Germanys program of
activities in the east was seen today
in an announcement by the semi
official Wolfe bureau that the Ger
man government has now acquired
a free route by way of Russia to
Persia and AfghaniStan."
This announcement was evidently
based upon the fact that the Rus
slams have evacuated Turkish Ar
menia and Persia. opening up the
way for German or Turkish troops
TO advance toward the frontier of
India without serious opposition.
IL is possible that Germany may
undertake to open up trade routes
in order TO secure needed foodstuffs.
Rus Give Up Interest.
Before the war Persia was d.
vided in two parts. the northern half
being known as the Russian sphere
of influence and the southern sec
ton as the British sphere. This was
done 10 protect trade routes from
the bands of bandits that infested
the coutry.
After chc bolshevik revolution the
Lenine-Trotzky regime at Petro-
grad announced thai they would re
linquish Russia's interest i'm north
ern Persia. This is evidently one If
the developments that inspired the
German announcement.
Germany has been working since
the outbreak Of the war TO strength
en- her influence in Persia. evidently
hoping to establish a point of con-
tact with India.

WARF|ELD SETS AT
REST MANY RUMORS
Adjutant General Points Out That
Men Up To 81 Are Included In
The First Draft Call
ALSO EXPLAINS HASTE

Adjutant General Henry M. War
field was asked today to set at rest
a lot of rumors as to the question of
the age of men who will be called
first from the registration of Defen-
ders' Day General Warfield said it
was perfectly clear that every man
above the age of 10 years and who
had not reached 81 years was to an
swer to the first call of the September
II registration.
"Questinnaires are being rushed
out said General Warfield, ito all
men above the age of 10 years and
who have not reached the age of 81
years. In other words, the call for
men between the age of 19 and 21
years and 81 and SO years includes
men who are SO years and 364 days
old. That is the language and inter-
probation of the CALL and they are
the men who will be called to the
already been issued. 1t is to these
men that questionnaires are being
sent out"
Continuing, General warfield said:
"I realize that it is difficult thing
for man to ask for exemption, but
at the same time the local boards
are too busy to go through mans
QUESTIONABLE, if he makes no claim,
to find out whether he deserves a de-
ferred classification.
"Tae reason for the haste is that
we are asking the boards to complete
in 100 days the same work that they
required more than twice that time
to do year ago. A mans chances
of getting automatic exemption is
small; so if there are any reasons
why he should do so. he had better
make claim for il"
The work of enrolling the sailors
and seamen on the vessels that ply
at this port is well in hand, and it
includes men of many nationalities.
These men are brought by the Sea
Crew" to the Courthouse promptly,

many instances. questionnaires are

GOVERNOR PLANS
THE BAY FERRY
Paper Quotes Him AS Saying
That Negotiations Are Still On
For Route To Eastern Shore
CLAIBORNE IN THE PLAN

Governor Harrington stated recent
ly that he is negotiating for the es-
tablishment of the Claiborne ferry.
from Claiborne to Annapolis, to con-
meet the State roads systems OF the
Eastern and Western Shores, says the
Democratic Messenger, published in
Snow Hill.
He wishes the plan to be tried out
during his administration and believes
that because of war conditions it's
chances of success are particularly
bright. He feels that if there should
be any such CALAMITY as the with
drawal of the steamers of the d., NJ.
& v, or b.. c. & A., that the ferry
would be an absolute necessity.
During recent visit TO Worcester
by Governor Harrington and the mem
bers Of the Maryland Press Associa-
ton. the establishment of the An
napolis-C Claiborne ferry was very thor
oughly discussed, and the Governor
was urged by Senator Orlando Harri-
son and the newspaper men to put
the project into effect as soon as pos
sible
The Governor stated that he had
given the project much thought and
had gone so far as to get prices on
suitable steamer for the route, but
the high prices asked for steamers,
by reason of the war coming on, made
1t impossible to establish the ferry
with the amount appropriated by the
Legislature of 1916. He said, how
ever, that he intended to take the pro-
ject up again at an early date, and we
are glad to see that the matter is now
being inquired into.
The Claiborne-Annapol ferry
would connect up the splendid road
systems of the Eastern and Western
Shores and would make short and
quick run between Washington and
Ocean City by automobile. 1t would
also make much shorter run from
the lower Eastern Shore to Balti-
more, as connection could be made at
Annapolis with the electric line.
1t is the general opinion that il this
ferry is put in operation, regular
bus line would be established on our
fine roads from Snow Hill to Clai-
borne touching Hurlock, Preston, Eas-
ton and other points, and that in addi-
tion to the passenger traffic good
freight and express business could be
built up by automobile trucks

The Governor and Mrs. Emerson

large congregation last night in the
First Methodist Episcopal Church, the
Rev. DR.. H. W. Burgan, pastor.
Dr. Burgan's theme was Joseph, A
Food Conseryer of Long Ago" He
took for his text. Psalm los, H. "He
sent man before them, even Joseph !"
DR.. Burgan, who preached an ear
nest, forceful sermon on timed
topic, after reviewing the early life
of Joseph and the circumstances
which led up to his sojourn in Egypt,
in detail he told of the dreams of the
Pharoah of that land which were in
terpreted by Joseph In the interpre-
tation Joseph declared that God had
seen fit to warn the king in series
of dreams that seven years of unusual
plenty were to be followed by seven
years of famine, and that the warn
ing had come in order that Egypt
during the period of prosperity might
provide against the years of want, and

Joseph, and turned over to him all

servation. Joseph carefully stored
the surplus during the years of pros
peri.y. so that when want came Egypt
was able to feed herself, and not only
herself but the countries surround
ing. even Israel. Gods chosen people.
In making the application to pres
ent day problems the minister said,
There are today areas of plenty and
there are parts of the world in dire
distress owing to the world war.
America happens to be in the area of
plenty, but is allied with countries

Mrs. Lycurgus Edward Uhler, field
secretary of the National Florence
Crittenton League, was in the city
Tuesday in the interest of charging
the facilities on the Trakola farms in
Fairfax Co, Va. where a training
school for girls and a Home for un-
married mothers and their little ones
has been established and is doing a
most commendable work Mrs Uhler
hopes to interest others in this mis-
sion.
In speaking of the work, Mrs. Uhler
said: THE scope of the work has
been very much enlarged since the
war and in order to deal successfully
with the situation in Maryland and
Virginia, additional funds are urgent
ly needed. The object of the mission
has been heartily endorsed by Presi-
dent Wilson ''as an undertaking which
should command the sympathy, inter-
est and support of every citizen"
The Home, which is under the per-
sonal supervision of Mrs. Kate Waller

istrators. Question Referred
To Washington
AMERICA MUST SACRIFICE
WILL BE OPENED IN THIS COUNTY
BY A PATRIOTIC MASS-MEET TING
IN THE STATE HOUSE, ON

When called over. the phone this
morning. and asked if he had anything
to report from the meeting at Balti-
more on Saturday of the County Fuel
Administrators, Mr.. Walter H. Hart
said: mo, | prefer not to report the
meeting, as we were unable to agree
upon several very important matters
And especially in reference to the date
when heater fires will be allowed to
question has been referred TO Wash
ington."
Mr.. Hart explained that the Anthra-
cite Coal Miners were on strike all
last week, and that fact will largely
effect deliveries to local dealers for
the next three months. All dealers
have been requested to deliver one
ton or more to every householder who
has filed his requisition with them; /;
but the householders are requested
not to start any coal fires for several
weeks to come, as the further supply
is only problematical and cannot be
relied upon. Wood. gas and oil must
be used for cooking
That the people in America will
have to submit to sacrifices of luxury
and of comfort, even beyond those
which they rave already made with so
much cheerfulness and patriotism, is
unavoidable. if we are to comply with
the entreaties of Marshal Foch Some
idea of the nature of these sacrifices
may be gathered from the ruling just
made by the Fuel Administrator of
Massachusetts, to the effect that no
furnaces in public buildings of any
kind and apartment-houses and hotels
can be lighted before the first day of
December. 1t goes without saying that
this edict will be extended to other
States of the Union
After the meeting a. Baltimore on
Saturday, Mr. Hart came on to An
napolis in the automobile with Mr.. and
Mrs. Ferdinand Meyer, the State Fuel
Administrator. who has son in the
fourth class of the Naval Academy.
