Trees were blown down. limbs were
blown off, and the waves were beaten
into "a froth. White caps rolled in
from far out into the Chesapeake.
A tree in the rear Of the Eagles
Home on West street was blown down,
taking the rear fence with it. A large
limb was blown off tree near the
corner of Duke of Gloucester and Con-
duff street, and had anyone been pass
ing at the time the damage would have
probably been serious. The City Com
missioner had the large limb carted
away

UNUSUAL PICTURE AT
THE REPUBLIC THEATRE

The following is what the New York
papers say about cleopatra" which
will be the attraction at the Republic
today and tomorrow. The picture was
shown in Baltimore at Ford's Theatre
at prices up to $3.50:
"One OF the most sumptuous and
sensational motion picture spectacles
that have been produced. In large
ness OF scope and appearance Of solid
reality its ensemble scenes of an
cient Rome and Alexandria were
superb. Miss Bara's frank theatrical
ism protects her work from any
undue suggestiveness. IN. Y. Herald.
"The picture is so big that one is
completely overwhelmed. 1t seems
as If a fortune must have been ex-
pended in each scene which appears
on the screen, and the spectacle simply
beggars description. The Fox pro-
duction is 1awless in its setting
nificently beyond compare. The per-
formance of the star is at all times
vastly interesting. Never has Miss
Bara looked SO regally beautiful, and
if the original Cleo were just half so
lovely as her prototype we do not
blame Antony for renouncing Rome"
N. Y. Tribune.
"It is an elaborate production. It
portrays the great naval battle of Ac-
tium and shows ancient cities of Egypt
and Rome. The story is founded on
history and is Of absorbing interest.
AS the Siren Miss Bara makes the
most of her opportunity Her won
derful costumes are an imposing fea-
ture."-N Y Post
This is an extraordinary picture and
is in the class with THE Birth of a
Nation" and the Republic is showing
it at price within the reach of every
body.

ST. JOHNS GETS
READY FOR MUSTER
Immense Amount OF Paper Work Con.
nected With Preparations To
Drop Training Corps

The military officials at St Johns
are working very hard at present to
get ready for the muster out of the
unit of the Students Army Training
Corps, which will take place on De-
cember 81.
In spite, of the fact that Army paper
work is supposed to have been simpli-
fed. the volume of it in connection
with the muster-out is tremendous.
Pay and clothing accounts for each
member, individual records of various
sorts, and physical records showing
vaccinations and various anli-toxin
treatments, all have to be prepared, in
most cases in triplicate.
The muster-out of the Training
Corps will affect the size of the stu
dent body considerably and also the
routine at the college. A student body
of about the normal size will remain.
1t is understood that the U. s. Gov
ernment will compensate the colleges
for the loss they have sustained in
connection with the great changes in
their plans.

While it is impossible at present to

position of the property. amounting to

Gated in this country and belonging to
alien enemies, it seems apparent that
the armistice will not check, for the

of such property wherever found by

Although the actual fighting between
the armies of the allies and those of

likely to continue until this danger is
