HOG ISLAND MAKING GOOD.

Hog Island is at last coming into its

In 1916, Representative David j.

Congressman, entered the lists as a candi-

defeated by about 1000 by an incon-

candidate for United States Senator.
Democrats all over Maryland were
outraged by this vicious act of the liquor
interests and at once began to threaten
revenge They could see no reason why
the liquor interests should have defeated
Lewis for United States Senator, and
really there WAS not one. Prohibition
would have carried the national Congress
just the same, but had the liquor interests
of Maryland permitted the election of
Lewis as United States Senator, in all
probability there would have been no
prohibition Legislature at Annapolis this
winter. In that event, Maryland would
have been recorded against the Federal

danger of Statewide prohibition in the
State this year. Whatever fate betides

U.lS. DOESN'T EXPECT
ENEMY SEA ATTACK

WASHINGTON, April 18.-Oficials
of the Navy Department and naval
officers generally today declared that
the report that the German navy is
about to start an offensive lis too
good to be true"
The navy is itching for fight with
the German high feet. Allied forces
on duty in the North Sea and the war
zone generally are on the lookout "a
hours day for any sign of activity
by the enemy sea forces.
1t is believed the German authori-
ties started the report about naval Of
fensive in the hope the United Sttas
and the Allies would withdraw a part
of the destroyer fiotillas that are con-
voying American troop ships, thus ex-
posing them to greater danger from
submarines.
The united naval forces, apart from
the lighter craft engaged in convoy
and submarine patrol work, are more
than ample to cope with any fleet the
Germans may send out.

GERMAN ARMIES In
ARMENIA CHARGED

LONDON, April 18.-Russia has fol-
lowed her protest in Germany against
the Turkish operations in the eau
casus. which have resulted in whole
sale murders of the Armenian poula-
ton, by forwarding similar protest
to the Armenian National Council, ad-
dressed to the German Ministry OF
Foreign Affairs and the president of
the Reichstag. This protest, received
srom the Russian wireless system
and given out by the British admir-
atty through the Wireless Press,
reads;
THE Armenian National Councss,
as the supreme body for the express
sion of the will of the Armenian peo-
pie, is addressing you in connection
with the tragic state of things in Ar"
menia. Armenia lis flooded with
blood and, only recently saved from
centuries of slavery, is again condemn
ed to fresh sufferings. Following up
on the withdrawal of the Russian
troops, Turkish troops have already
invaded the undefended country AMI
are not only killing every Turkish-Ar-
menian but also every Russian in Ar
menia.
I'm spite of the terms of the peace
treaty which recognizes the right of
self-determination for these Caucasian
regions, the Turkish army is advanc-
ing toward Kars and Ardahan, destroy
ing the country and killing the Chris
tian population. The responsibility
for the future destiny of the Armen-
ians lies entirely with Germany, be-
cause it was Germany's insitence that
resulted in withdrawal of the Russian
troops from the Armenian regions, and
al the moment it rests with Germany
10 prevent the habitual excuses of the
Turkish troops, increased by revenge
fulness and anger.
1T is hard to believe that civil
lied state like Germany, which has
the means for preventing the excuses
of her ally, will permit the Brest-
Litovck treaty to be used by the Ger
man people, who have been involved
in war against their own will, as a
means for the creation of incalculable
sufferings The National Council
firmly believes that you will under
take the necessary measures which de-
pend solely upon you, to influence
the Turkish authorities with view
to saving the Armenian people from
fresh horrors.

but BREAKS LEG PLAYING.

LONDON, March 10.-(By Mail)-
After escaping injury by hair-breadths
in scores of air fights from few
thousand feet to three miles above
earth, Capt, Philip Fletcher Fullard,
one of the British air stars" broke
his leg playing football for exercise.
Fullard has had one of the most amaz-
ing careers of the war. He is curly
haired, clear-eyed youth of 20 years
of age. In six months flying he has
sent AZ German airplanes crashing
t. earth and downed captive bal
looms,
In single days fighting Captain
Fu1lard brought down four German
planes One morning before break
fast Fullard and another airman down
cd seven machines of which the young
star" accounted for three.
While fighting German two-seatec
Fullard had his narrowest escape.
A German bullet smashed his goggles
and another incendiary missile set fire
to the Verey signal lights on his ma
chine. The blazing lights set fire to
the woodwork of the frame, but he
manoeuvered the flaming plane back
behind the British lines and made a
safe landing.
Fullard belongs to one of the blue
ribbon British squadrons. To Janu-
airy LIST his squadron had accounted
for ESQ enemy machines and has suf.
fered fewest casualties.
For his exploits in the air Capt Full
lard has gained the distinguished ser
ivce order and the military cross with
one bar.

New Hotel for Lima. Peru.

The Congress of Peru by recent leg
islation has provided for an up to date
hotel In Lima, to be constructed under
the supervision of the national govern
ment of Peru and to cost not less than
100000 (973,OO0). The site set aside
for the hotel is government property
located in the heart of the city and Is
to be acquired by the company con-
structing the hotel.
The need of a modern hotel In Lima
has been keenly felt by the travellers
for some time. says Commerce Reports.
During recent years the number Of
commercial travellers and tourists Wis
iting the west coast of South America
has more than doubled, and many of
these have found 1T inconvenient or
even impossible to remain longer than
a few days In Lima because of the lack
of adequate hotel accommodations.

Among a batch of recruits sent up

whose habitat stuck ont all over him.
He took to the training all right
enough until the company went to the
target range for rifle practice.
The sergeant In charge of the prac-
tice showed the recruits the regulation
position for firing-left elbow resting
against the side and all that. But to
his disappointment the Tennesseean
could not hit the target at a range of
100 yards. Finally In disgust the ser
geant blurted out:
"Say, Jim, I thought you told me
you used to go out In the mornings
and shoot the head of a squirrel for
your breakfast, and now you can't ever
hit that targetl"
To which came the drawing re-

The amused sergeant agreed and the
recruit proceeded to spread his legs

Its full length-grasping the rife near
the muzzle-and put ten shots through
the center of the bulls eye.
"Jim's performance with the rife
was spectacular" added the narrator.

year he declared that he was being
followed constantly by detectives. 1t
is said some of his literature was dis
tributed in Elko.
