With Graduation.

OF Anything.

According TO tentative plans now
being formulated June Week" at the
Naval Academy this year will be
truly wartime affair. absolutely de
void of the social gaities and many
official and military functions which
mark the graduation ceremonies in
the piping times of peace
The actual graduation will take
place on Thursday. June 9th. and
while it is not yet definitely known, it
is Xepected that Secretary of the Navy
Daniels will be present TO address the
graduates and present them with their
diplomas.
There will not, however. be any
farewell ball" after the graduation as
has been the case i'm past years. Nor
will the First Glass hold the usual
exclusively Glass German"
Because of the fact that the men
who have gone forth from the shores
of the Severn to uphold the traditions
of their alma mater are now so very
busy on this job and are engaged
therein in all parts of the globe. there
will be no reunion of the Naval Acad-
emy Graduates Association with its
attendant banquet and mock forma-
tion.
Practically the only social func-
tions during the week will be a series
of informal hops which will I'm all
likelihood be held each night during
the week.
1t Is expected that the graduates
will be given but brief leave before
going to their ships, and from all in
dications the young Ensigns will
chafe even at that much delay as most
of them are keenly anxious TO get at
the Beasts of the Seas. Whatever
plans the Navy Department may have
in contemplation looking to the cruise
arrangements for the classes which
do not graduate will not be announc-
ed, according to all present plans.

Correction.

In the list of subscriptions for the
Jewish War Relief Fund published in
these columns yesterday there were
two errors, one of which was not the
fault of the printer, the wrong amount
having been given in.
Mr.. Joseph Lipman contributed $50,
an not ten, as he was credited with,
and MIR. Jacob Blum contributed $50
and not ffeeen.as he was given credit.
The foregoing correction is cheer
fully made

Todays contributions amounting to
STAG 90 were made up as follows:
The Annapolis Bank of the Eastern
Shore Trust Company, 100000; The
Evening Capital, employees, $1,000;
Mrs. Raj Parr, $1,000; The Globe Fur
niture Company, $1,000; Mrs G. w
Munford, $500.
Yesterdays accounting of the fund
through a misunderstanding credited
payment of $4,000 to Miss Elizabeth
Jessup, which should have been credit
ed to Carvel Hall. of which Miss Jes-
sup is manager.
The manner in which the fund is
climbing continues to be a subject of
congratulation, and its endorsement
by the City Council during Mondays
meeting of that body has produced a
most favorable impression among the
townspeople However, there was dis
covered feeling today that small con-
tributions are felt to be probably not
wanted because of the very generous
response which some persons have
made to the appeal to their desire to
aid the hospital AS one person who
had made a substantial donation ex-
pressed it, however, those who are
giving big sums are only doing as
much as they can in proportion to
what they have. Those who contrib
uted S1.00; so cents, or even 25 cents,
can in proportion to their incomes do
Just as much in aiding an institution
which has aided them and those near
and dear to them, as do the more
wealthy contributors. Come on-don't
be backward because you can't af-
ford to make a big donation,

 brought out a gun and held up Ramos and his entourage and later a constable came out from Glendale and formally took him into custody after Ramos had refused to accede to the demand of kean.
 When Kean went on the stand he manifested considerable racial feeling in the matter. On cross examination, Attorney Lavin for the defendant hav- ing brought out the fact that Ramos
 was Spaniard and not a Mexican,
 Kean stated that he did not like Span iards; once during the open season for Spaniards he said that he held a li- cense to kill them and that he felt jus tified in doing so yet when they took l from him things that belonged to him. | In the course of the trial a. phenom-

Tho Third Liberty Loan

The government must have the money. The gov ernment will have it. whether it is patrioticaly and profitably loaned to it or The government in the latter event must take it and will take it. There is nothing iii this statement It cannot be made painer by reiteraton. Time alone can bring home the and truth of it to every indi- Nidual in America and time is rapidly Hitting along the way.
 The war is not nearly over. If the intentions of the allies to bring to completely victorious end, nsurng lasting peace. fully carried out, the will last some years longer. The turning point has not been reached. It is supposed by any of intelligence anywhere in tie world that Germany will abandon it's dream of Pan-Germansm anywhere this side of the last ditch which has not yet been dug.
 The Germans are intent upon their aims we are ours and suspect they their aims clearly, and they just confident Of ultimate realization of them we are confident the final triumph of democracy. We do not know precisely what the base their confidence; matter of fact nobody knows much about Ger many.
 But know that confidence must rest en- trely upon ability to mobilize resources and to do that there must be mobilization of money. Without that the valor of soldiers, and high minded and loud voiced patriotism nothing at all absolutely worthless for purposes.
 We must have millions of in France if the allies to win and that takes money. The allies are dependent upon for money. It is avail able from no other and without money and enough t. opposition the schemes of the Central Powers must collapse

 Instead of pointing the seriousness it. there seems to have been general conspiracy to conceal it. to minimize the offensive, and even to treat the result far allied victory-that is victorious retreat.
 It is fortunate if the people have not been de- ceved by this palpably fool of the offensive both abroad and at If the people had been told the truth and had not been assured that there was No cause for aarm.' they would have been better prepared for the third Liberty Loan campaign whose success must depend upon a realization of the necessity for it than upon patriotic sentiment There must be plain speaking and less spread eagleism It must be shown to the people of America that the is nearly ended that there is living competent to fix approximately the date of its ending.

Fashions In Words

The present school or rather shoal of short story writers for the magazines weekly and monthly must be pretty close of the style Of another We notice that word a striking expression which has been used by of them with some effect is adopted by the others with less effect because it does not fit in so well; it has been worked up to-. The difficulty encountered here is aptly illustrated the attempt of Mark Twain once to find a place for the expression to paint the lily gd refined gold" He couldn't find an opening until he to description of the of of mules which had toled all day journey across the rockies. They were so tired that Mark could not find words to describe their condition. So Ito attempt to tell how tired those mules were would be to paint the lily or gild refined gold. "
 One can now hardly take up a short story without
 beautiful and abiding confidence that he will where in it encounter the word "gravely.' Now. "sravely" is not word by any means, and it is not an uncommon word. It has its place in the Eng fish tongue as all words in the dictionary have, some more conspicuousy than others. Dickens used it but he did not it out; he used it where it better than synonymous word would have been, but he never worked up to it or any other word. Words with him articles of adornment but of his trade and he highly skilled workman.
 In one of the popular periodicals there is. lately running story by of the foremost of the short story writers. The heroine young American girl who though engaged to be married undertakes work the Belgian front. She meets and falls in love with young and admirable Belgian officer. Her American fiance is not wholly admirable. The time comes when the heroine must to America where she will fulfill her engagement as a religious obligation Her parting with her Belgian friend is to be final. So she kisses him "gravely" while Boche bombing planes are busy above and the thun- der big guns is incessant Then the young officer speaks gravey" and the heroine liste3s "gravely"
