THE HOME SERVICE
FOR SOLDIERS HERE
Means A Better Fighting Soldier
"0Yer There" Every Red Cross
Has Its Branch

Il can soldier better now" wrote
one soldier in a letter to his home
Chapter of the Red Cross, thanking it
for services rendered his wife through
the Home Service Section. If there
were no other reason, that soldiers
sentence would alone more than justi-
fly all the money, all the effort, be-
ing expended by the Red Cross in its
Home Service Sections. 1t is not
charity-it is service. Its work is the
upbuilding and maintaining of the
morale of soldiers at the front-and
it is morale, even more than guns,
which enables the men of the Allied
armies to Withstand such overwhelm-
ing onsets of the enemy as we shud-
dered through during recent months.
The springs from which a soldiers
morale is fed are not all on the bat
tie front; they are more often than
not thousands of miles distant, at the
place he calls home.
Nearly every Red Cross Chapter now
has its Home Service Section. 1t is
the aim of the heads of this division
of Red Cross work that, wherever the
draft operates, wherever there are
families of men serving in the armies
of our Allies, there also shall be Red
Cross Home Service. How effective
its work shall be depends entirely up
ron whether we at home, with our
pocketbooks and our personal serv-
ices, give as literally as is required.

WARM WAVE TO
LINGER LONGER

Grin and bear it," is the slogan of
the weather man. Summer that was a
little backward in coming forward is
here with both feet
The Weather Man is authority for
the statement that the warm wave is
to continue for today and perhaps a
few days He said there is no rain or
relief in sight. He showed where
there was rain in the air throughout
the Ohio Valley, but it is not likely
to strike around Annapolis today and
maybe tomorrow, when the warm
weather seekers will have theirs.
The mercury jumped yesterday
from 70 degrees registered at 6 A NJ.
to % degrees at 8 P. M. While it was
warm, and very warm, it failed to
reach the mark of 90 degrees register
ed on June 1. The Weather Man said
the figures will hardly reach that to-
day The winds of yesterday chang
ed suddenly to the southeast shortly
after noon and are booked to continue
today, which will have a tendency to
prevent any record-breaking.

A large class assembled yesterday
afternoon under the shade trees or 81
Johns College campus at the regular
class discussion conducted on The cam
pus in front OF Mcdowell Hall by the
Rev. Maurice S. White pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church.

for the discussion yesterday after
noon was How to Spend Ones Time
Among other things, the instructor
brought out with emphasis that we are
to regard life as a service. rather than
a gain. He said we get out OF life
what we put into il. The old Shorter
Catechism of the Presbyterian Church
asked a question, What is the chief
end of man?" The teacher says IL is
same now. We are to give service i'm
this life, for the only thing we can
take with us when we leave il is
character. and that is spoiled by self
ishness.
Another session of the Present-Day
Problem Glass will be held tomorrow
afternoon under the trees on the col
lege campus, at 2:15. and the subject
will be Social Unrest" The subject
will be discussed in a religious and
social manner.

TWO CHAPLAINS FOR
NAVAL ACADEMY
Increased Number OF Midshipmen
And Size OF Chapel The
CauSe

For the first time in the history of
the Naval Academy. that institution
will have two chaplains at the opening
of the academic year in October.
The increased number of midship-
men will not permit their attendance
at one time in the Naval Academy
Chapel, which is wholly inadequate
for their accommodation at the pres
ent time, and has been from the first
an architectural failure, as well as a
failure so far as acoustic properties
are concerned.
Next years fourth class alone will
be a record-breaker, and the entire
regiment will number at least two
thousand, so that one chaplain would
have more than he could accomplish
to look after the spiritual needs of so
vast an army of young men.
Chaplains Evans will be given an
assistant when the academy opens
The plan is to conduct two services
on Sunday mornings at the same
hour. 1t is estimated that the chapel
will be able to take care of three of
the four battalions of the regiment,
allowing for decreases by those who
attend worship in the city churches,
and the other battalion will attend
services in Memorial Hall One bat
talon will worship at the latter place
alternately.
Commander-Ch Chaplain Sydney X.
Evans, the academy chaplain, who has
been on his vacation for two weeks in
Maine, is expected to return some
time this week
The proposed building of an auditor
ium, to seat three thousand, the ground
for which was staked off on Saturday,
July 1S, during the visit of Secretary
of the Navy Daniels, will, supply a
long-felt want at the Naval Academy
by accommodating the entire regi-
ment which has to be divided into two
or three parts for matinee and even
ing performances, because the pres
ent auditorium is inadequate.
