A COLORED EDITOR
WRITES OF SNOWDEN
Thinks That He Has Been Ill-Used
And That Prosecution Is Wor-
ried About Case

The american. weekly
paper published for colored people in
Baltimore, has taken great interest in
the case of John Snowden, convicted
in the Circuit Cours for Baltimore
county of the murder in Annapolis of
Mrs. Lottie May Brandon. and has
published number of articles which
contain statements and insinuations
as to Snowden's treatmen.
In alluding to the fixing of the date
for the argument of his case in the
Court of Appeals. the paper says that
''Snowden is reported as receiving
better treatment now" and that
States Attorney Green approached
Rev. J. A. Briscoe and asked him to
make regular calls on Snowden as his
confidential adviser" adding that Mr..
Green did not wish complaints from
Snowden to come up at trial
The paper has this comment to make
on the approaching argument.
States Attorney Green has George
Hartman, Albert Richie and Ogle Mar
bury as aides when the case comes up
and the addition of two new lawyers
aroused considerable comment in An
napolis. II is known that Green is
moving heaven and earth to convic.
Snowden and it looks as though he
feels afraid that he won't succeed and
has called in help.
Lawyer Brady, for Snowden, said
to Captain George w. Brown, of Bal
timore on Wednesday, that there was
no cause for alarm and that he had
things in good shape for the trial
He added that he expects Snowden to
be granted the new trial asked for.

cHILDREN'S PEACE PARTY
Philadelphia School Enacts Drama,
Written By Former AnnapoIitan

At the Peace Party by children of
the Mccall School. Philadelphia. a
pleasing part of the program was a
drama written by Miss Genevieve Carr,
of the Board of Recreation, Philadel-
phia, formerly Mrs. Grillo,. of this
city,. who was requested to arrange
the program, and wrote especially for
the occasion a drama of the present
war. The scenes were laid in France
with the children of the Fifth grade
acting the parts. Boy Scouts played
the part of American soldiers with
several of the school boys imperson-
ating France and Allied soldiers. A
cellar in France is the opening act,
where a mother and five-year old
child, French refugees, have taken a
temporary refnge- from the Hun in
vasion. The play continues with the
childs pleading to the mother for the
return of her father and brother and
her final earnest prayer for the safe
return of both The climax is reached
upon the termination of the prayer
when the sound of drums is heard
and the soldiers come marching up the
street to the sound of the patriotic
anthems of America and France and
father and brother dash into the cell
lar, carrying the American flag All
kiss the flag and commend the banner
as the medium of victory and swear
eternal vigilance to it,
The drama is highly spoken of by
the Philadelphia press. The Phila-
delphia Record of November rs says.
A dramatic incident was portrayed
in "A Baby's Prayer" written by Miss
Genevieve Carr, of the Board of Rec
reation. 1t depicts dramatic scene
when victory came to the Allies.
There was Dance of Recollection, a
prophecy of 1914 and An American

THE RED CROSS AND
RACE TRACK DONATION

The officials of the local chapter of
the Red Cross have asked that cor
rection be made in the article pub
lished in Saturdays Evening Capital
about the Bowie race track and the
Red Cross. This article stated that
prince Georges County has refused
the funds fer the Red Cross accrued
from the Bowie rack track and gate
receipts The article then says Anne
Arundel county accepted the sum of
$40, 900 from the same fund for the
Red Cross"
Mr. Ridgely p. Melvin, chairman of
the local chapter of the Red Cross,
when asked about the matter made it
plain that the facts as to the receipt OF
$4,000 i'm Liberty Bonds by this
Chapter, acting directly for the ma
tional organization, are entirely dif-
ferent from the facts of the Prince
George county case There the Bowie
race track people used the name OF
the Red Cross as an advertising
medium to draw paid attendance to
the race track This is in direct viola
ton of an Act of Congress. After the
money had been arised in this way, II
was offered to the Prince George
County Chapte of the Red Cross, and
there was odoubt about it that il
could not be received under the law.
In the case of the Anne Arundel
County Chapter, however, there was
no violation of the Statute and the
money did not come from the Bowie
race track people at all In fact, nc
money was presented, but $4,000 in
Liberty Bonds was donated to the ma
tional organization through the
medium of the Anne Arundel County
Chapter. The money which purchased
the Liberty Bonds was not raised by
the use OF the name of the Red Cross
as an advertising medium, but was
simply a gift from two very wealthy
horseowners and the Maryland State
Fair. Inc, to the American Red Cross
The question of whether or not this
donation is to be accepted is up to the
National Headquarters of the Red
Cross. AS they accepted similar
contribution from the same source last
year. although in smaller amount
/ it is assumed that there can be on OBJ
| lection to its receipt this year. The
donation received by the local chapter
has been reported, and no objection
has been heard from any source in this
connection

CONGREGATION HEARS
OF TWICE-DORN MEN
Redeemed Sinners Tell At Mary
land Avenue Church What
Gospel Has Done
ALSO HEAR DOCTOR COLT

Both services at Maryland Avenue
NJ. f. Church. yesterday. were char
acterized by unusual interest and
power In the morning, DIR. Don :.
Colt. district superintendent. preached
a very eloquent sermon, In a very
forcefuf way he showed how the win
ming of the worlds liberty through
the sufferings and death of our brave
soldiers, illustrate. and lead up 10
truer appreciation Of the sacrifice OF
our Lord on the Cross for the saliva
tion of the worlds
The outstanding feature of the even
ing service was the testimony of some
men whose lives had been utterly
wrecked by sin, but later were re-
deemed by the Gospel, and ushered
inte an unutterable better and happier
life. Mr. Baker. the evangelist. who
brough these men with him from Bal
timore. calls them Twice Born Men,"
Sometimes experiences from such
sources are given in such a way
as to offend good taste. There is dan
ger that they glory in past shame, and
also that they display the pharisee's
self-exaltation. But there was little,
If any. of this from those men last
night The mos fastidious would
have had difficulty in finding fault with
what they said.
With unfeigned pain they told OF
the dark days which once were. and
of the sunshine now in their lives The
light in their faces told the same story
more eloquently, even, than their
words. All who were present and
were making a fight for life and char
acter were helped and stimulated TO
harder effor The meeting will be
remembered for many a day by the
large audience which filled the main
/ floor of the church. 1t was decided to
continue the meetings at least until
and including this Wednesday even

SATURDAYS FOOTBALL
MARKS SEASONS END
Pittsburgh Loses For FIRST Time In
Four Seasons And Great Lakes
Beats Purdue

Saturday was practically the wind
up Of the high-calibre football. though
most OF the really big contests took
place the previous Saturday or 0n
Thanksgiving Day The biggest game
of the day was that between Glenn
Warmers University of Pittsburgh
team and the eleven of the Cleveland
Naval Reserve. For the first time in
four seasons. the Pittsburghers were
defeated, the score being 10 To g., the
loss of the game being due to failure
to kick a goal after touchdown. just
as the midshipmen had done a week
previous Harlan, OF Georgia Tech OF
last season, and Ducote. of Alabama
Polytechnic. were the stars OF the
game. first honors falling to Ducote.
who was rated All-Southern fullback
last season.
OF special interest at Annapolis was
the victory of the Great Lakes Train
ing Station eleven over Purdue Uni
versity by 27 to 0. The result of these
two games suggests at once that Great
Lakes and Cleveland get together for
top honors of the country for the sea-
son. Never has there been a chance
to decide it so absolutely. Rutgers in
dicated that IL shot its bolt before the
Great Lakes game, as il was defeated
by Syracuse. 21 TO 0. Harvard de-
feated Brown, TO 3; Minnesota won
from Chicago IL to 0, and Michigan
took Ohio State into camp by IA to 0.

ENDING OF THE WAR
CHANGES FLEET PLANS

With the passing of German sea
power, the impelling strategic reason
for keeping the main strength of the
American Navy massed in the Atlantic
Ocean no longer exists. Naval officers
an icipate. therefore, that the fleet
will be divided when the war emer-
gency has passed and substantially
one-half Of the main fighting strength
of the navy go into reorganized Pa
cific feet.
Secretary Daniels indicated that a
general rearrangement of the fighting
ships was to be expected He gave no
inkling of what is under consideration,
however. his statement having been
brought out by questions when he an
nounced that vice-Admiral Sims.
commanding American naval forces in
European waters, would be nominated
TO the rank of admiral when Admiral
knight, commanding the Asiatic feet.
retires next month
Rear-Admiral GIeaves, commanding
the conveying forces, will be named
by President Wilson for the vacant
vice admiral's post thus created. No
change in assignments will accom-
pany the promotions. which will be
made for merit.
