NEW COMPANIES HERE;
TAKE PLACE OF OTHERS
Companies f, L, G And II Arrive From
Washington Barracks. Scenes
OF Interchange

Scenes of camp life during the War
of the Revolution were re-enacted this
morning on ST. Johns College cam
pus, where Companies ID and of the
6O5th Engineers stacked arms and
rested for awhile, during the wait foI
the arrival of the men who were to
take their place at the Naval Academy
rifle range.
While the men rested under the
trees and the aspect of the campus
was strikingly military and war-like
the ladies of the neighborhood got
busy. They sent out the men as an
advance guard to ask those $50 men
lying on the grass If there was any
thing that they wanted The general
response was cool drink of water
All the pitchers and pals of College
avenue, King George street and Prince
George street bordering on st. Johns
College were requisitioned, and ice
water flowed freely into cups and
glasses to quench the thirst of the sol
dier boys. Water was such simple
thing to give these men who had had
two weeks intensive training at the
range, that the housewives thought to
serve coffee, and this they did. regal
ing the men in khaki with steaming
hot coffee to their hearts content.
The men were grateful and sincere
in expression of appreciation for all
that had been done for them in An
napolis and the surrounding county
during their sojourn here.
While waiting for the interchange
of troops, and enjoying their coffee
the men sang any number of patri-
otic war songs and camp ditties to the
delight of the residents nearby.
About noon four companies, f. F.
G and H, numbering $50 men of the 1si
Replacement Regiment, from Wash
ington Barracks, hove in sight, en-
route to the rifle range to take the
place of the 605th. This is the larg.
est body of men that has come at one
time, and the instruction will neces.
sarily extend over longer period
than the prescribed two weeks train
ing customary with the others.
Both the incoming and the out.
going troops are from Washington
Barracks.
The ladies who served the men were
Mrs. McCandless, whose husband il
commanding a destroyer; Mrs. Me
Neil, Mrs Davis, Mrs. Cutler, Mrs. AL
len Bowie Howard, at whose home the
men were served; Mrs. White. Mrs
Find, Mrs. Soft, Mrs. Harman.
The men got the names of the ladies
whose hospitality they had enjoyed
passing a little book around for tn,
purpose. and said they would never
forget their kindness.

ington To Investigate Matter
And Ask To Be Notified

Anne Arundel county farmers living
!, tbe neighborhood of Camp Meade,
Academy Junction, Odenton, Patuxent
ard Woodwardville, who have been
bearing rumors that the Government
arants more of their lands for the pur
nose Of establishing an artillery range
adjacent 10 Camp Meade will prob
ably be able to get definite informa-
,lon when the members of the COM
mlttee appointed by their organization
% 10 Washington again to talk mat
ters 9ver with some of the War De-
partment officials. They expect to ar
range an appointment within the next
few days.
II is reported that within the past
several weeks men supposed to be
agents Of a transportation company
have been going through the rural dis
tricts ondeayoring to secure options.
Some of the farmers are naturally
curious to know why agents of the
Government do not approach them di-
rectly If there is any intention of pro-
yiding an artillery range.
Some of the visiting farmers have
said in Washington that If II is the in
tention to establish an artillery range
there is ample unimproved land along
the Patuxent river that could be Sc
cured. If, however, say the farmers,
Il is the purpose of the Government
to make a requisition for farms that
are in high state of cultivation, it is
only fair and just to let that fact be
known at the earliest possible date,
so that the owners will not go to the
expense of making bills for fertiliz-
ers and other things needed in con-
nection with winter grain crops.

AUTO BUSINESS BOOMS
FOR MONTH OF AUGUST

War and drafts do not stop people
who have the money from buying
automobiles, as is shown by the re-
ceipts of Z. Austin Baughman, Com
missioner of Motor Vehicles, for the
month of August. The total amount
taken in for fines and licenses of vari-
Gus kinds was $59, ,2S9.94, an increase
of s2O,G55.14 over August of last year.
This is an increase of 81 per cent
and is much larger than might have
been expected owing to the impos-
sibility of most of the motorcar man
ufacturers turning out all the cars
that have been ordered.
