The races started yesterday at

the sport, which will partly repay me
for missing the Kentucky Derby this
year. If Bob Shea, or any of the
other big plungers from Bourbon will
come up here l will try to put them

the way, Eighteen-to-Forty-fiv won

SAVE ALL FRUIT SEEDS, STONES
AND PITS.

The Government has requested
everyone to save the seeds, stones
and pits from all kinds of fruits. The
peach stone, especially, is desired, as
from it is obtained an acid used in
munitions work.
DR.. and Mrs. Frank M. FAIRIES have
had a barrel placed in the front of
the law office of Judge Harmon Stitt,
on Broadway, in which all persons
having peach or other fruit stones
are requested to deposit them. DON'T
THROW AWAY PEACH STONES, or
any other kind. They are of tire
mendous importance to the Govern
ment just now. This may seem a
small matter to you, but it is one of
very large concern to the Govern
ment. The stones thus collected will
be forwarded to the munition plant
when the barrel is filled. Help the
Government in this way!

MARYLAND HOUSE
DEFEATS "DRY" BILL

Annapolis, Nd. March 13-By a loud
chorus Of yeas and a faint rejoinder of
''noes." the Statewide bone dry bill yes-
terday went to the waste heap in the
House.
30 overwhelming was the shout of
''yeas" that no member of the House ex-
cept Mr.. Phoebus of Somerset whose hill
of like nature previously had suffered
the same fate had the hardihood to rise
Rnd ask for poll call.
Under all ordinary proceedings, action
on the bill should bring to an irrevocable
end all Statewide dry bills during the
session. The Anti-Saloon League, how
ever. has not abandoned all hope. They
pin their hopes to a pigeonedholed bill to
extend to all of the dry" counties Of the
State the drastic provisions Of the Prince
Georges county bone dry law. The anti
Saloonists now intend to come back with
a proposition to make Baltimore dry by
legislative enactment.
The Rev. George w. Crabbe, superin-
tendent Of the Anti-Saloon League, said
tonight that the proposition would be
pushed as a war measure. He added that
the Anti-Saloon League would urge SINH
lar bills in all the large cities of the
country.
Two years ago prohibition was submit
ted to the voters of Baltimore city and
WAS beaten by an overwhelming majority
The usual role in the Legislature is to sub
init measures affecting the city to the Bal
timore delegation. If this is done it will
be beaten.

ANOTHER DELAY
IN SECOND DRAFT

Washington, March 13.-Legislation to
change the system Of apportioping drafted
men by making the basis the number of
men in class one instead Of the popula
ton of States was held up in the House
to day with the filing of an adverse minor
ity report by members OF the military
committee and by the statement of Chair
man Dent that the measure would not
be called up until after Secretary Bakers
return from France.
This will delay the second draft, as
Provost Marshal General Crowder has
announced that he will not go ahead with
it until the law is changed
At the time the minority report was
filed General Crowder was before the
Senate military committee urging speedy
consideration of the measure and of an
other to require registration of all men
attaining 81 years of age since last June
5. He appeared greatly concerned when
he learned that the legislation was
checked in the House.
The Senate has passed the bill to change
the basis of opportionment and is eN-
pected to pass this week the measure
registering younger men. The House com
mittee already has filed favorable ma
jority report on the bill changing the
apportionment.

Work Ship with Committee.

moved to-day by Collector of Customs
Hamilton at the request of Captain Ed

vik tendencies. on being paroed tonight
by federal authorities, armed themselves
and made an effort to take the ship. The
American armed port guard in charge
of the vessel refused to allow the men
aboard the vessel and police reserves were
sent to arrest them.
Before the police arrived, however. the
Russians defied the guard, and boarded
the ship without violence. Half a dozen
port deputies were rushed to the ship
and with the guard searched the Russians
and their quarters. A large assortment
Of firearms and knives was confiscated.
Investigation by Collector Hamilton re-
vealed that the Russians had sought to
put the principles of the Bolsheviki into
operation on the ship. demanding that the
vessel be operated by a committee of the
crew with the captain deposed. They also
wanted Il 25 per cent. increase in pay and
threatened to land the ships cotton cargo

port 1t is consigned.
This action followed an outbreak on the
ship after she arrived here a week ago.

guard, one man, was allowed to return
unmolested. Captain Yanvosky then called

consulate at New York, for assistance in
settling the trouble. but when no agree
ment could be reached. Collector Hamil-
ton was asked to intervene.
After an investigation the collector.
acting under the Newport regulations,
issued by Secretary McAdoo. had the men
removed from the ship and delivered to
immigration Inspector Morton. All were
paid off and the majority paroled under
guard of a federal agent, with the idea
Of sending them back to Russia. 1t was
these men who returned to the ship and
armed themselves.
The three men who made a demonstra- =
tion against the naval guard were ar
rested.

A. P. WAR REVIEW.

While the entente allies are "nibbling"
ut the German lines from the North sea
TO Switzerland. but are making little or
no serious attempts to break through
Or to bring about a eliminating struggle,
the Teutonic powers have taken their
FIRST step in the exploitation.
German and Austro- Hungarian troops
have entered Odessa, the greatest Rus
sian port of the Black sea and the GEN.
ter Of a great agricultural section. the
products Of which are desired to feed the
hungry peoples of the central empires.
With Odessa safely in their hands. the
|Teutons will have access to vast stores
of wheat which can be transported over
land or by sea to points where it can
be readily shipped into Austria and Ger
many.
But the capture Of Odessa will mean
something more-an advance over the
route to Persia and Afghanistan and pos
eibly India, which is to be followed now
that the British have severed the famous
Berlin and Bagdad route to the east.
The congress OF Russian Soviets. which
was to have convened at Moscow on Tues
day. postponed it's meeting until Thurs
day. This gathering may be historic, as
it will be asked to ratify or reject the
peace forced upon the Boolshevik peace
ovsk. When the congress meets 1t is prob
able that the message Of President Will
son to the Russian people will be read. 1t
is expected to make a profound impression
upon the assembly.
The American sector in Lorraine, which
is now definitely located east of Luneville,
is the most active on the French front.
Great artillery combats are being carried
out by the Americans, who have deter
mined. by raiding operations, that their
artillery fire has forced the Germans vir-
tually to abandon their front lines. Two
hundred gas projectors installed for the
purpuse of supporting attacks on the
Americans have been destroyed by shells

marks in the British House of Commons
German airships rs-appeared over the
northeast coast of England Wednesday
night. according to an official statement
The Germans who raided Paris on Mon
day night did not escape unscathed. An
Omcial report from Paris states that
four of the enemy machines were brought
down and Is trained airmen were either
killed or made prisoners.
There has been only the usual infantry

have taken place In Macedonia, where
