feautre of the musical program. the
music being by Miss Lille Henkel, of
Annapolis. Music was furnished by an
orchestra of twelve pieces of the Ma
val Academy Band, who played Sc
lected program of inspiring patriotic
airs and hymns.
The program was opened with

ers, minister of College Avenue Bap-
tist church, which was followed by
Scripture reading by the Rev. Maurice

by buying these bonds.
The orator of the occasion was DR..
c. Alphonso Smith, of the Naval Acad-
envy, whose eloquent address fired his
hearers with patriotism and stirred
their souls with fervor DIR. Smith
said this is Christian war. and it is
being waged in the interests and for
the spread of Christianity.
If there is one thing the war will ac-
complish, he said, it is the change in
topography of the country. The
geography of the country, said the
Doctor, is being changed by the war
from day to day, and there will prac-
tically be new geography after the
war
DR.. Smith, by way of illustration,
bounded Europe geographically as it
is today, and by way of contrast he
said after the war it will be bounded

its most militant figures. For DIR.
Wells was fighter. He fought his way
up to the control of his party organi-
zation in the county and almost from
the first was compelled to fight to keep
that control. The most vigorous cam
paigns were made against him time
and again. movement after movement
was started to dislodge him from his
political trenches, and the fights with
in the party in Anne Arundel we're al
ways more bitter than the fights be-
tween the parties. But Dr. Wells kept
his grip on the organization through
thick and thin after he once got firm
hold on it, and thereafter was never
defeated
The last notable move of DR.. Wells
in the politics of Anne Arundel oc-
CURED late in the summer of 1917 and
resulted in the elevation of Judge Rob-
ert Moss, the long time political en-
emy of the doctor to the Bench.
DR.. Wells was honored by the State
Convention in 1884 as a delegate to
the Democratic National Convention.
He served as county treasurer for the
two years of 1SS7-1SSS, and a contin-
uance of the confidence of the people
in him was demonstrated by his cleo
ton in 1895 to the position Of Clerk
of the Court for Anne Arundel County,
which he held at the time of his death,
a period covering % years.
Dr. Wells represented Anne Arun-
del County as member of the State
Central Committee. He was only once
defeated for Office and that was when
he ran for Congress in 1894 and was
defeated by his opponent, Charles E.
Coffin, of Prince George County.
DR.. Wells was held in the highest
esteem by all classes. politically and
socially. He was of a very unassum-
ing nature. and Of generous fidelity
