MRS. MOSS APPOINTED
Wife OF Annapolis Judge Chairman OF
Committee OF War Mothers

Mrs. Robert Moss. wife of Judge
Moss, with whom land the Evening
CapitaD the Annapolis Chapter of
War Mothers had its inception. will
probably be appointed chairman of the
committee on Constitution and By
Laws for the State organization of
War Mothers.
Mrs. Moss made plea that the me-
mortal building for soldiers, sailors,
aviators and nurses, devoted exclusive
ly to participants in and survivors of

movement and that the State support
the project with substantial contri-
button. Mrs. Moss paid eloquent tri-

SNOWDEN'S APPEAL
ARGUED DEC. FIFTH
Accused OF Murder Last August. Long
Delayed Case WIN Soon Be
Settled

1t is likely that the fate OF John
Snowden. now in Jail charged with the
murder of Mrs. Lottie May Brandon.
in Annapolis last August. will be set
tied before the new year arrives, owing
to the action OF the Court of Appeals
today. The Court granted the motion
of the Attorney General for the argu-
ment of the case on December5. next
The motion for a dismissal of the ap-
peal will be argued at that time,, and
If that is denied, then the case will be
argued on its merits.
L is very probable that even if the
motion is refused, and the case argued
upon its merits, the Court will render
a prompt opinion, in view of the de-
lay in reaching a final decision in the
case. 1t will be remembered that
Snowden was indie ed here, and the
case removed to Baltimore county for
trial. He was convicted of murder in
the first degree in that court, and SEN
fenced to be hung, bu. the appeal act
ed as stay. 1t is also very prob
able that should the court rule ad-
versely to Snowden, the Governor will
not allow time to elapse before his
execution
Should the Court of Appeals re-
verse the lower court, new trial will
take place, and there will be consid-
cradle additional delay before the case
is settled. Snowden has all along ex-
pressed confidence that he will get a
new trial, and ultimately be freed.
The Court of Appeals is in session
today, but will adjourn until Decem-
Der 3rd

1t is especially pleasant for those
away from home to have some form of

M|DSH|PMEN MEET
GREAT LAKES TEAM
IN NOTABLE CONTEST
Interest Recalls Days When An
napolis Midshipmen And West
Point Cadets Met Here
THE TEAMS CONFIDENT
BUT TALK MODESTLY
Local Players Greatly Outweigh
In Line, But Ready With
New Tricks In Offensive

e Never since the Naval and Military
Academies used to play their annual
football game on their own grounds
contest attracted so much interest
as that between the elevens of the
Naval Academy and Great Lakes Naval
Training Station, which ended the sea-
son here this afternoon. Not even then
did a local contrast bear such a re-
la ion to the general football situation
and promise SO much in the way of
an athletic event, for the winner this
afternoon has only one rival for the
football supremacy of the whole coun-
try-the winner of the University of
Pittsburg-Georgia Tech game, which
is also played this afternoon.
Barring fairly fresh wind, condi-
tions are absolu ely perfect for foot
ball game-clear, crisp and bracing.
In fact, it has been the only day this
year on which a game was played at
the Academy when conditions were
right. Both squads admit that their
condition is good, and that there will
be no fair excuses for defeat Both
squads talk in a modest way which
bellies any suggestion of over-confi-
dence, and points to determination
to win on the basis of giving the best
they have.
The midshipmen had their final
practice yesterday afternoon, and it
consisted merely of signal drill and
practice on some of the formations
which were used this afternoon. Gill
mour Dobie has not been asleep dur
ing the week, and it can be said with
au shority that behind closed doors,
the squad has been perfecting some
playing of standard that has not
not been attempted heretofore this
season. In fact, Dobie recognized
early in the week, that strength and
experience were on teh side of his OPP
ponents, and found it necessary to get
something in the way of surprise as
a compensation.
The Great Lakes squad, which had
been practicing in Baltimore during
the week, arrived at Annapolis shorty
after noon this morning, the only
preparation for the game here, being
a short walk to loosen up. The team
is in fine shape, and every man be-
lieves that it is good enough to win,
bu. there are no rash predictions be-
ing made.
The line-ups of the teams, with
weight of players, follows:
Naval Academy-Left end, Lowe
159; left tackle, Scaffe, 1888; left guard
Saunders, 100; center, Arthur, 180;
right guard, Perry. 1SS; right tackle,
Murray, $50; right end. Even, 161 /;
quar- .erback, Ingram, 1SS; left half
back, Roberts, 160; right halfback
Orr, 170; fullback, Coombs, 170
Great Lakes-Left end, Reichle, $50; !;
left tackle. Ecklun, 1856; left guard,
Keefe, 1873; center, knight, 2O5: right
guard, Jones, 1876; right tackle, Black
lock, 1870: right end, Halas, 172; quar-
terback, Driscoll, 155; lef. half, Erick-
son, 175; right half, Eileson, 10;
fullback, Lauer, 10.

REPORTS
OF LOCAL SOLDIERS
Stories Circulated OF Wholesale
Deaths And Woundings Of
Men From Annapolis
FOUND TO BE FALSE

For the last three weeks or more
Annapolis has been beset with abso-
lutely baseless rumors in regard TO
supposed casualties TO local soldiers
on the other side. Ii is impossible TO
account for these rumors which are
passed from mou h to mouth, and gain
certainty and detail with each telling.
In some cases efforts have been made
to trace a report which was so cir
cumstantial tina it appeared that il
must be based upon some information.
In such cases, person has been
reached who admits having made the
statement but is unable to tell by
whom it was told In other words, IL
was cruel invention or a heartless
exaggeration.
A. times, the report will be the
Machine Gun company OF the 115th In
fantry has sustained severe losses,
and the next day the report is circu-
lated that Company NJ, of the same
regiment has been wiped out by shell
fire. A little later. one or both of
them have been terribly gassed, AS
ma ter of fact, there is not the slight
est basis for any such report, and the
most charitable interpre alton to be
put upon the action of those who cir
culate them is that they are ignorant.
Any deliberate action of the kind
would indicate an unbelievable de-
gree of heartlessness.
There have been at least two cases
where reports stated that well-known
Annapolis youths had been wounded
in terrible manner, the report even
going so far as to furnish The details
In both cases, these reports reached
members of the family, who were
greatly alarmed, and who made
vain search to find the slightest au-
thority for T.. Report also had IL that
a member of a prominent family in the
the lower part of the county had been
killed. This was also found to be
baseless. Reports of this kind cannot
help bus cause worry, as the relatives
fear that the information has been re-
ceived by someone in letter from an
other soldier, and ii is often difficult
to disprove It.
Everyone should be careful not to
repeat reports OF. this kind Doubt
less, there will be some who will have
cause to be sad when the full list OF
the casualties is in, for the Annapolis
soldiers have been in the thick of the
final fighting, but it is not likely to
be a large list, for they were not in
the hard fighting for any great length
of time. There is no reason to bor-
row trouble, and 1t may be that Provi-
dence has been good to our boys. and
we will have them all home with us
shortly. At any rate, the final lists
will soon be in, and the facts will be
known

Without fuss and feathers, and GER
tainly without frills, and perhaps with

dignity her 2I0th anniversary.
To be exact the date of the signing
of the Charter was November %, 17OS.
The city of Annapolis was settled as
Providence in 1649. A great deal could
be said of the changes, many. varied
and great, which have taken place in
the town since the dawn of her birth,
210 years ago. but-space forbids. Suf-
fee it to say. Annapolis is great his
toric old town. and she and her people
are still writing the pages of history.

is to protest against appointments be-
ing allotted to Denver. Seventy per
cent of the state vote is outside of
Denver and Pueblo, while 80 per cent
of state appointments have heretofore
been given to Denver alone. So. Mr..
Davis says, for instance. Delta ccnntv

state appointments and has only one.
Montrose is entitled to ten and hes
none. Mesa county seventeen and has
only one.
