SOLDIERS DANCE
A GREAT SUCCESS

Alarger number of service men at
tended the dance last evening at the
State Armory than have been there
for several weeks past.
A conservative estimate places the
number of service men present a. be-
tween three and four hundred The
increased number is probably due to
the presence of the list Replacement
Engineers now at the Rife Range at
the Naval Academy, many of whom
enjoyed the dance given in honor of
their men.
Besides the soldiers there was a
good number of sailors from the sta
tion ships at the Naval Academy. the
Rife Range, and also a few marines
from this station.
The dance was an unusually large
one in point of numbers, and a most
successful one in every de tail. The
new committee of hos .esses and chap
erons are to be congratulated on the
success of these dances under their
management

SCARITY OF DOCTORS
CLOSES TRAINING SCHOOL

The scarcity of physicians and sur
geons in Annapolis may cause the
Nurses Training School to close at the
Emergency Hospital
Some few months ago the departure
of Dr. Hopkins and Dr. Purvis for the
Army Camps. the former going later
to France, interfered with the classes
at the Emergency Hospital Training
School for Nurses to material de-
gree. The expected departure of Sur
geon Spear of the navy, makes it i'm
possible to conduct the classes of
nurses further, and the training school
for nurses will probably close.
1t is expected, however, to graduate
the class that is due to graduate this
year. in the early Spring, the course
having nearly been completed.
The Closing of the Nurses Training
School will be great blow to the hos
pital, but comes as another of those
nt-be-helped war conditions.

LIGHTLESS NIGHTS
MAY END SOON
May Be Resumed Where Conditions
Require Them. First Is
sued Last Winter

Lightless. nights made necessary to
save fuel for war work will end today
except in States where fuel admins
tartors may decide to continue the
regulations. This announcement was
made last night by Fuel Administrator
Garfield. Removal of other restric-
tions on the consumption og coal will
follow, Dr. Garfield said. and volun-
tary conversation through requests
made of the public will be substituted.
Lightless nights order. which first
was issued last winter, recently was
rescinded in a number of States. It's
enforcement will now be at the dis
cretion of State fuel administrators,
who have been instructed to be guild
ed by the fuel situation in their re-
spective States.
Although the statement comes from
Washington that lightless nights are
beginning with tonight,
local Fuel Administrator Charles F.
Lee says he has received no official in
formation to this effect.

BANS ON BETTING
FIRM AT ACADEMY

Captain William H. Standley. COM
mandant of midshipmen, has made
known to the midshipmen in the clear
est and most forcible way that any
betting on the game tomorrow, either
individual or by the student body, will
not be permitted. He has pointed out
that it is form of gambling contrary
to the regulations and entirely to be
condemned.
There has been much rumor of huge
sums to be wagered on the game to-
morrow, just as there have always
been when a game with West Point
was approaching. If there is any bet
ting done by naval people it will be on
the quiet and in violation of express
regulations to which attention has
been specially directed. Some of the
rumors were fantastic, one being that
a Fourth classman had put up $500,
600 against the Great Lakes team. He
was supposed to be a member of one
of the wealthiest families in the coun-
try. The total amount reported to have
been placed was huge
