GREAT OPEN-A|R
PATRIOTIC MEETING
INDEPENDENCE DAY
Program Under Old Liberty Tree
On St. Johns College
Campus
ON JULY FOURTH
AT FIVE O'CLOCK
Judge Robert Moss To Make Ad-
dress, Prof. Costet To Sing
The Marseillaise

Arrangements have been completed
for the great open-air patriotic cele-
bration of Independence Day, which is
to be held under the auspices of the
Committee of Education of the Coun-
ell of Defense on the campus of st.
Johns College. July 4th, at p. NJ
If the weather is unfavorable the
same program will be carried out in
the college gymnasium.
The President of the United States
has written a special Fourth of July
message, which will be read by Prof.
w. o. Stevens. of the Naval Academy.
This specially appeals to the foreign
element of the population and urges
their presence.
Judge Moss will make stirring pa
triotic address, the Declaration OF In
dependence will be read by Major
Hugh r. Riley, and the Naval Academy
Band will furnish the music.
Prof CASTOR Costet will sing the
French National Anthem La Marseil-
laise," and, just at this moment, when
Italy is so much in the public eye, it
seems a happy inspiration to have the
Italian National Anthem sung in the
original, which Prof. w. E. olivet has
kindly consented to do.
It is a matter of great regret that
the Governor of Maryland having
promised to speak at Cambridge, will
not be able to preside at this meeting.
1t will, however, be ably conducted
by Senator Duvall, chairman of the
Council of Defense for this county.
Mr.. Clarence l.. Clemson with his
accustomed generosity will help in
leading the community singing, and
the very latest arrival among the
clergy of the city, the Rev. Maurice s.
White, pastor OF the Presbyterian
Church, will make the Invocation.
The short exercises will close with
an impressive pageant of flags by the
Boy Scouts, followed by our National
Anthem, 1.-The Star-Spangled Banner"
by the audience.
We want our Jewish population to
show that they appreciate what Amer
lea is doing in helping them to re-
gain Jerusalem. Come out, your
President calls you, your patriotism
calls you. Come out and show that
we all love our "land of the free and
the home of the brave" and that we
appreciate the blessing of "Inde-
pendence."
Much trouble has been taken in
these arrangements. Many have de-
clined attractive invitations in order
to take part
Annapolis wants to keep up her
reputation for doing her part by COM
ing out in numbers. We want every
man, woman and child in this COM
munity. We want all our French and
Italian neighbors to come hear their
National Anthems as they sing them
way back home" as their friends and
relatives are singing them on the bat
tlefelds.
We want, not a few people, but
great concourse of people who will
make our songs ring out for miles.
We want every one who has man
they love, fighting for his country, to
come out and help us sing.
God bless our splendid men
Send them safe home again,
God bless our men"

PLANT
SEEMS A FAILURE
Baltimore City Is Having A Hard Time
With Million Dollar Water
Clearing Plan

Muddy water coming. say the
city officials. Wherefore again
obtrudes the puzzling question,
OF what use is a million-dollar
filtration plant?"
The above quotation from The Eve
ing Sun of Baltimore yesterday inn
presses City Alderman Elmer E.
Parkinson, of Annapolis. as also rather
applicable to Annapolis. Mr. Parkin-
son, this morning. called attention to
the application of the present situation
in Baltimore TO the stenuous determi-
nation of the management of the An
napolis Water Company TO, if it is
possible, put this city to the serious
expense of installing a filtration sys-
TEN at the local water works.

rooms in the State House will be open

some forty women day in this city

required time. Four hundred and

packed and shipped
The work rooms will be open every
morning in the week, expect Saturday
and Sunday, from nine-thirty to
twelve-thirty and three afternoons in

Fridays, from two to five.
A most urgent appeal is especially
made to strangers in Annapolis, who
probably have no other duties to oc-
cupy them while visitors in our city,
to help make Surgical Dressings in
this moment of great need.
There will be present at each ses-
sion trained Red Cross instructor,
to demonstrate the work on the tables
at the moment, which, in every in
stance, will be standard Red Cross
dressings.
All workers must provide them
selves with the long sleeve white
apron, and a muslin head covering.
We feel sure these big rooms will
never be empty, but many will come
and come with the spirit of service.
