MAYOR STRANGE WANTS
POLICEWOMAN IN CITY
Picks Miss Isabella McNasby To
Serve In New Capacity On
Streets OF Annapolis
TO LOOK AFTER GIRLS

After the determination of the City
Council TO cut out the naming of two
patrolmen to vacancies existing on the
force, upon the ground of economy
and the lack OF need of their services
because of the extreme orderliness of
the town, Mayor Strange has an
nounced his intention of appointing a
police woman for Annapolis. The
Mayor has picked for the position Miss
Isabella McNasby.
Her official title will be that of Post
Worker of the Law Enforcement De
partment for Women and Girls, in War
Community Training Activities.
Miss McNasby has decided to accept,
and it is understood she will enter up
on her duties without delay.
Mayor Strange was moved to this
action largely through the steps taken
by the department officials at WASH
ington looking TO the protection of
young girls of communities where
many of the military or naval service
are assembled. The action of the Ma
yor will undoubtedly receive the
unanimous approval of the citizens
here, as Annapolis for a city of its
size has perhaps more men of the
service moving to and fro than any
other town in the country
The attention of Mayor Strange has
also been called to the fact that many
young girls from Baltimore and else
where come to Annapolis to meet the
young men who are preparing for
service
1T is estimated" said the Mayor
that as many as 200 young girls and
women come into the city daily, and
every safeguard should be taken to
protect young women here. as we'll as
those from distance, and to maintain
general good order
Miss McNasby has wide acquaint-
ance in the city and suburbs. She has
spent a number of years in church
work and activities along charitable
lines.

GOLDSBOROUGH MAY BE
STATE LOAN CHAIRMAN
Former Governor Or w. G. Baker, Jr..
Are Being Considered For
Important Position

As soon as the official announcement
of the acceptance of the. resignation of
Mr.. Wilcox as chairman of Maryland's s
Liberty Loan Commission is made, it
is expected that Governor Seay will
call on the other members of the com
mittee to nominate a man for the
chairmanship.
Nothing viii be done toward organ
izing the committee for the campaign
or outlining the work until the new
chairman shall have been appointed.
Just who he will be is matter of con-
siderable speculation, but former Gov
ernor GOldsborough is the man most
frequently mentioned Others men
toned are William B. Baker, Jr., of the
firm of Baker. Watts and Company;
Charles G.. Homer, president of the
Second National Bank; Howard Bruce,
president of the Bartlett Hayward
Company and a member of the Federal
reserve board for this district; B.
Howell Griswold, Jr., of the firm of
Alexander Brown & Sons, and A. H. S.
Post, president of the Mercantile
Trust Company. But the names most
frequently heard in this connection
are those of Mr.. Goldsborough and Mr..
Baker and one or the other is likely to
get the post, which carries with it
much hard work. some honor and no
money.

Remedy For Sugar
Beet Web Worm

Prof. C. B. Waldron of the Agri-
cultural College, in answer to an i'll.
quiry for a remedy and prevention
against the worms now working
around Williston in the garden and
fields, states that the worm is known
as the Sugar Beet Web Worm. Poison
ing and blowing deep burrows will
keep them in check in small areas
but all energy should be spent in
destroying the nesting places Of the
worm in the ehrysalis stage in which
condition they live over winter. This
is done by burning all rubbish and
grass wherever possible this fall and
by plowing the gardens ard fields
and narrowing the land this fall and
early next spring. This is the cheap
est and safest manner of destroying
the worm to prevent temperance
next year.

THE BRITISH FLEET
BY E. G.. PIPP
Copyright, 1918.)

OFF to the north of London is a
part Of the British fleet, a minor
part, we are told. Light cruisers
they are in name-great masses Of
steel, built and manned for fighting
in reality.
There they lie at anchor, like dogs
chained in restraint, ready to be let
loose at moments notice. One Won
| ders that there ever was so much
floating steel and power and so many
guns in the world. One does not
wonder that the German navy stays
tied in Kiel, afraid to come out, and
one breathes thanks for America
that the British navy not only stands
as protection for Britain's shores
against an invader that now knows
no law or rule of decent warfare, but
also to lombard any city which it can
bring within range of it's guns.
Count the cruisers, one does. There
is an understanding, however, that
figures shall not be published, but let
every American breathe easier for
that part of the navy, and let each
of US, when inclined to think that we
are placing Great Britain under GER
tain obligations to US in sending
troops over to help in the fight, re-
member that we are under lasting
obligations to Great Britain for the
protection she has afforded us with
her fleet, ever on the watch in the
North Sea.
But the light cruiser squadron is
not all, by any means. Farther to
the north is reached another and
greater part of the North Sea fleet.
Battleships, they are. Veterans of
the Jutland and of the Dardanelles
are there. Luncheon was served on
one that came out of the Jutland
fight with wounds, but it was not be-
yond repair. Powerful and great
and new with others, the pride of
the British navy is there-the great
est battleship afloat.
To the left the floating fighters are
seen, in great numbers and tonnage
beyond comprehension. To the right
are more battleships. Farther and
farther, and still beyond in the mist
are seen the forms of more hulls.
more stacks, more protectors of our
shores and theirs.
"If the Germans would only stay
and fight; if they only wouldn't rum!
said Durobeck, veteran admiral of
the Dardanelles, modest of men, as
he put to sea with his squadron: to
take up the watch for his land and
ours.
Boys In The Trenches
A company Of British infantry that
saw marching away to the trench
es was made up of boys just turning
19 years. England takes in the boys
at IS, trains them a year and then
sends them to the front. With the
coming of American troops there was
an agitation in England to send the
18-year-old boys to the trenches with
six months training instea of wait
ing a full year.
Three companies, seen marching
along the Strand for the front, were
made up of men from IS to 40 years
old. All over England one notices
the absence of young men, of men !
under Al and boys over 18. They are
either at the front or in training.
It seemed to me that America
would have to send at least 1O,0O0,-
300 to the front before our manhood
would be combed as fine as it is comb
I'd in England.

This second edition of Professor
Parker's we'll known work is welcome
The first edition, issued more than six
teen years ago, was properly accepted
as standard authority at that time
The second has been brought down to
date, covering the great reforms in
revolution, and the establishment of
the Chinese Republic Professor Parker
takes most sympathetic and friendly
view of the Chinese, but does not per-
nit his partially for them to warp his
judgment or obscure the clarity of his
vision. 1t is a book of indispensable
value to the student of Chinese affairs
The Rev. DR.. SCOTS volume is a
compilation of his Students Lectures
on Missions at Princeton Theological
Seminary, and, as the Rev: DR.. J. Ross
Stevenson says in his preface to the
book, 1t is a handbook for missionaries.
But it is something much more than
that. DR.. Scott has lived so long in
China and has come into so close touch
with it's people that he is able to write
and does write of them with excep-
tional knowledge, together with an en-
tertaining style and pleasant gift of
humor. He, too, regards the Chinese
alphabetically and admirinigly, as a
people who are greatly to be reckoned
with in the future of the world.
The Rev. Mr.. Borst-Smith has also
been missionary for many years in
China, and writes with intimate knowl-
edge of the people and with much ap-
probation of their qualities. The ma
ton is one which must hereafter be
