WOMAN STOLE COOKS
GIN, ROW RESULTS.
Man Had Stocked Up With The
Closing Of The Saloons And
Could Not Stand The
Loss Of Supply.

An aftermath of the closing order
of Secretary Daniels, under which the
lid was clamped down on Annapolis,
came Saturday night when Mayfield
Cook was brought before Police JUS
tice Charles o. Dulin on disorderly
conduct charge and fined 81 and costs.
Cook. who lives in O'Brians Alley,
when the saloons closed laid in a
small supply of gin with which to
keep off dull care for at least a short
time. He had absorbed as much as
his own capacity and that of his
pocketbook would allow, when he re-
turned to his home, and laid him down
for a snooze The precious bottle OF
gin he had laid beside him and
thought it perfectly safe. But 10 and
behold. when he awoke from his
slumbers he discovered that practi-
callv all of the gin had been swiped
bv some one else He laid the theft
to the woman he lives with and i'm
mediately began to raise a really
truly rough house. The gin was not
of a particularly belligerent type and
he confined his rough house to
thorough going tongue lashing of her
whom he suspected Because of the
fact that his attack under great
provocation consisted of nothing
worse than a tongue lashing no seri-
Gus penalty was imposed. Still growl-
ing about the loss of that precious
supply of gin, Cook paid his fine and
was released.

CONSIDERING THE
BUDGET CLOSELY.
Governors Figures For State Ex-
penses Being Gone Over By
Legislative Committees.

While city extension will occupy
the Senate and entertain the CALLER
les at Annapolis this week, the Sen
ate Finance and House Ways and
Means Comittees will be delving in
to the budget of state expenses pre-
pared by Governor Harrington. The
two committees will continue their
Joint sessions, which began last week,
when the General Assembly recon-
venes this evening.
During the week the Governor will
send to the General Assembly sup
Elemental budget which will contain
appropriations for repair and main
tenance of roads, and appropriations
omitted, in most cases unintentional-
ly, from the first Budget"
The first item in the long budget
is the Appropriation to the executive
department, and it will be first to be
considered. 1t will come under close
scrutiny by the two COMMITTEES, and
later by the two houses. Republicans
will dissect the contingent fund, which
is $4,000 The expenses of the exec
utive department of the state have
grown apace with the states increase
in population and wealth. The sums
assigned to the department in the
budget are not far in excess of those
of recent years The appropriations
has attracted more attention this year
than in former years because it has
been made more generally public for
the first time through the submission
of the budget to the General Assem-
bly, several weeks in advance of ad-
iournment.
At former sessions all appropria-
tions were acted upon during the clos
ing days, frequently during the clos
ing hours, of the session. The budget
must be disposed of three days in ad-
vance of adjournment.

ANNEXATION TO
Be Up TONIGHT.
City Is Claiming Victory Before
Week Ends. Allen Amend
ment First Point.
COUNTIES STILL FIGHT.
Anne Arundel And Baltimore
Counties Will Not Throw Up
The Sponge Until Sure
" Beaten.

With the resumption of the legis-
lative sessions tonight there is every
indication that the fight for and
against Annexation will at once be re
sumed, with great prospects that a
vote at least on the Allen Amendments
being reached before adjournment is
taken.
While the Anne Arundel and Balti-
more County members and all of the
opponents of the City's grab are main
tanning that they have not by any
means given up their fight the city
forces seem TO have an edge in their
fight just now.
The Allen substitute for annexation
is before the Senate Not less than Is
Senators, ii is said. will vote against
il. AS soon as il is disposed of the
Greater Baltimore Leagues bill will
be up for vote. Amendments TO il
will be offered from the floor They
may be few in number, and then again
there may be hundreds of them. The
chances favor hundreds. Despite all
efforts TO keep bitterness out of the
fight there is sure to be plenty of ii
as the battle nears a definite Conclu-
sion.
1t is understood that the annexation
Senators stand ready to support a
supplementary bill carrying these
changes:
Charging off TO Baltimore City the
portion of the debt of Anne Arundel
County represented by the assessment
on the property included in the terri
tory TO be annexed.
Modification of the clause requiring
property owners on the State roads
within the annexed territory TO pay
the paving tax assessed against prop
erty owners in the present city limits.
Rectifying the oversight in the
Leagues bill in regard to the teach
ers' fund in Baltimore County.
Authorize interest on deferred pay
ments to be made by the city to Bal
timore and Anne Arundel Counties.
Conferences over these changes and
suggestions for additional changes
were frequent all last week. Mean
while the Allen substitute was being
debated on the floor of the Senate.
Fourteen votes are required to beat
all amendments and put the bill over
in the Senate.
Thirteen Senators-nine Republi-
cans, the three city Democrats and
Senator Warfeld, of Carroll-have
stood by the bill prepared by the
Greater Baltimore league from the
very first.
Two other Senator'S, both Demo-
Gratis, say they will support the bill.
They are picking their time to take
their position with the city
Several Senators would like to sup
port a supplementary bill changing
some of the minor provisions in the
present bill.
Senator Crothers, of Cecil, it is said,
wishes to vote to exclude all Anne
Arundel territory.
1t is reported that Senator Williams
of Montgomery wishes to vote for a
referendum clause.
The belief is rather general that
| Senator Crothers, on the final vote
/ will support annexation regardless OF
whether Anne Arundel is in or out OF
the bill He will however, fight to
| have Anne Arundel excluded
Senator Bennett is mentioned as
being among those who may vote for
annexation Little likelihood of this
| exists.

PREMATURE PEACE
written by Prince and Princes
Troubetzkoy for the National Sc

written by Prince and Princess
Troubetzkoy for the National Sc
curity League.)
There are still Trotzkys in Amer
lea: There are still Huns in America.
You will know them by their talk
of peace.
No country was more pacific than
America before she had to join the
rest of the world in running down the
bestial power of the Hun. At that
time she even tolerated Bernstorffs,
and Trotzkys. in her midst, for was
she not strong enough to throw off
any contamination Even the con-
taminatien of Germany and Bolshev-
ism? Besides, did not both of these
stand for peace in America? Yes!
Just as they stood for peace in Rus
STA; and see how under the emblem
of the olive branch both OF them
have reduced Russia to a pen of mas
sacre, rape and pestilence!
They have used the hallowed name
of peace as they have used that of
"kamerad," which means friend" as
they have used the White Flag be-
hind which they safely blast the Red
Cross. They have used the lame of
peace until it means treachery.
To such as these there is only one
answer: "Clean them out! Clean the
world of them!' And then-and not
until then--peace will once again mean
what it meant before they polluted
the haIlowed word in their foul
mouths. Disinfected from their slav-
er, 1t will shine once more upon the
world. But first we must clean the
world of it's decorators.

YANKEES WITHIN
SIGHT OF SEDAN
City Only Six Miles Off and
Fires Are Observed
From Hills

With the American Forces on the
Sedan Front, Nov. 7-American troops
were fighting yesterday within sight
of Sedan, famous for the great battle
fought in the Franco-Prussian war in
1870. From the hills in the region
Of Chemery and Maisoncehe, where
the Americans, according to last c.
counts, were advancing despite stub
born resistance, the buildings of Sc
dan are in plain view, being about six
miles away. Part of the cits is
burning.
The Americans reached Chemery,
seven and one-half miles south south
west of Sedan. East of Chemery the
American lines now run through
Maisoncelle, Flaba and the Bots du
Fond de Limon.
The village of Beaumont, where
there are more than 400 French civ
ilians, is the particular target of the
Germans. All last night they delug-
ed Beaumont with poison gas.
In a wireless message addressed to
the French and American command
ers, the Germans reminded the AL
lies that there were many civilians
in the village north of the Franco
American front and suggested that
the artiIlerymen be notified to this
effect. None of the villages was
named, however. The message was
signed by the German field command
er.
When they reached Chemery the
troops OF the American First Army
had advanced slightly more than 81
miles since the offensive east of the
Mouse began on Sept. rs.
