Associated Press Summary.)

l
 In a battle which has lasted since Thursday, and which probably is con- tinuing with utmost fury, the Germans haVe been hurling massed divisions against the British and French line from far north of Albert to shcrt distance north of Mondidier. Probably there has not been a more sanguinary battle fought since the beginning cf the Teutonic offensive, March 22, than | this. which has for it's objective the driving of wedge between British ard French armies. the cutting of the Paris--Amens railroad south of Am i as and the capture of that city. But, in spite eff the power of the attack ard the desperation of the fighting, entente allied legions have stood firm over the most of their front. At only two points have they been forced to give ground. and these seem to be cnlv minor successes when compared with the sacrifice of lives which they have cost. Just southeast of Albert the British have withdrwn a short dis tance, and the French have given up the village of Castel, west of More uil, which has been the storm center of the German assault for the past few days. At this point the Teutons are within three miles of the Paris Amans read.
 Allies Prepare for Battle
 It seems probable that the entente allies have abandoned their Fabian tactics and now are prepared to give battle to the Germans. They have fix ed their lines about 12 miles east of Amicns, and it is evident that here they have turned at bay against the invaders. The contour of tho country back of the allied lines lends itself to defensive tactics. It is quite high ard is of 8 character which compels attackir2 forces to expose themselves to concentrations of fire from artillery and infantry It is necessary for the Germans to break thru the British and French lines in this region, Or to outflank the allies by drive to the north and south of it. The fighting near Albert and north of Montdidier seems to have for it's object the ring ing of the allied positions. That the Albert and Moreuil sectors are vital . to the allied defenses is shown by the stern resistance maintained there in the last two days.

ANOTHER MILESTONE
PASSED BY DR.. RILEY.
Historian Of Annapolis And Vet
eran Newspaper Man Three
Score And Thirteen.

Passing another milestone along
life's pathway, that father" of Anna
polls journalism, the city's historian,
veteran newspaper man, and author of
many books, DR.. Elihu S. Riley cele-
brated his seventy-third birthday yes
terday.
DR.. Riley, the literary man of sim
pie tastes, always modest and retir-
ing in disposition, spent the day quiet
ly and but few of his close friends
knew he was having a birthday"
1t leaked out, however, through
members of the family and the Doc
tor was showered with congratula
tions from his wide circle of friends
\ man of broad intelligence. keen
insight into human nature, q man of
deep thought, a close student. a lover
of nature and a deyout wOrshipper at
the shrine of the God of all Nature,
DR. Riley has lived his three-score
and thirteen years well, and has made
the most of them.
He is the author of that invaluable
book, The Ancient City" covering
the history of Annapolis from 1649 to
1887.
Besides the history of Annapolis DR..
Riley has written a number of other
books that have been favorably com
mented upon by the leading literary
lights of this county. He keeps in
touch with all the happenings of the
day, and as a newspaper man, he has
the pen of ready writer" and
keen sense for news as well as a
facile pen.
The Capital extends hearty con
gratulations to DR.. Riley on his
seventy-third birthday. and in the
words of dear, old Rip Van Wrinkle
will say, May you live long and
prosper"

BOOST GIVEN TO
HOSPITAL PLANS.
Charles #. Lee And Capital Pub
fishing Co. Each Match Dona-
ion Of Mr.. Holladay.
IGLEHART TREASURER.
Donations Should Be Sent To
Him At Office In Advertiser
Building City Aid Is
Hoped For.

Already the plan advanced yester-
day afternoon by William N. Holla-
day for a popular subscription where
by the Seidewitz property surrounding
the Emergency Hospital may be pur-
chased at an unusually reasonable
figure. Is meeting with general favor.
Mr.. Holiday in suggesting the pop
ular subscription plan for raising the
necessary funds started the list with
"a con .llJution of S100 This sum has
been matched by MIR. Charles F. Lee,
the well known Annapolis real estate
broker, and two to the hundred thus
raised within a comparatively few
hours after the plan was launched,
The Capital Publishing Company has
added another 800.
Mr. Eugene w. Iglehart, with Offices
in the Advertiser Building on Church
Circle has offered his services as
treasurer for the fund. and any furth-
er donations which the people of the
town, either as private individuals or
as organizations care to make should
be recorded with him
Members of the Hospital Board have
expressed qualification at the idea of
securing the necessary additional
ground, and preventing it being sold
10 other persons, and indeed through
out the city the subscription is being
discussed favorbaly 1t is considered
not unlikely that the County Commits
sioners and the municipal authorities
will take notice of the proposition and
make substantial donations thereto
Because of the fact that the activi-
ties of the hospital are not in any
sense confined to Annapolitans, but
care for persons from all over the
county, it is hoped by those in charge
of the movement, that residents in the
rural sections will lend their aid in
acquiring the necessary ground for
the needed enlargement of the scope
of the hospitals work.

DISORDERLY WOMEN
GIVEN A WARNING
Judge Moss Imposed Stern Sen
tences And Says They Must
Get Out Or Behave.

A stern lesson was today admins
tered by Judge Robert Moss to the
lewd colored women of the town,
many of whom have in the past ap-
peared with disgraceful regularity at
each term of the court upon charges
growing out of the steady raiding of
disorderly houses in the negro section
of the town.
Three of the women were in rapid
succession sentenced to lengthy terms
in the House of Correction. after they
had plead guilty to the charges against
them, and later George Harvey,
negro man who stodd trial and was
found guilty by a jury of maintain
ing Il disorderly house, was also given
Ia sentence during the serving of which
he is likely to have time to think over
the advisability of returning to his old
ways when he gets out.
Commenting upon the need of every
one doing their share of honest work
in these days, Judge Moss in SEN
fencing the first of the negro women
before him this morning, served no
tice that their trade has got TO be
abandoned in Annapolis. II you
women won't do honest work and
abandon this life you have got to get
out of town, that's all there is to it
said the Judge He continued, We
are not going to have our soldiers and
sailors debauched, corrupted and
ruined; it makes no difference whether
the offenders be white or black, this
business is going to be broken up"
The cases today were:
Mable Price. colored. one year in the
House of Correction; Kate Richard
son. months in the House of Cor
rection, Matte Johnson, 10 months in
the House of Correction: and George
Harvey. one year in the House of Cor
reCtion.
Prior to these two cases the court
received a plea of guilty in two cases
of larceny against Emma Anderson,
colored, but suspended sentence tenn
perarily. These are the cases where
the wardrobes and bureaus of a num-
Der of residences of the Navarro
Apartment House were robbed.
