COLORED DRAFTEES
AS NAVY WALTERS
Cuts Down The Local Draft List OF
Class l. Says Judge Robert Moss,
Who Makes Protest

Secretary of the Navy Daniels has
been asked to take up the matter pre-
sented in a letter from Judge Moss,
chairman of the District Draft Board
No. 2, to Adjutant General Warfield,
asking that Provost Marshal General
Crowder take up the matter of some
$50 to 200 colored men, none of whom
exceeds the draft age, who have en-
listed in the navy or naval reserves
and assigned to duty at Bancroft Hall,
Naval Academy.
Judge Moss urges that the young
men be replaced by older men, in or
der that the young men may do active
military service.
The special circumstance which led
Judge Moss to make the protest is that
the number so employed cuts down
Glass l of the local draft list.
1t was said at the Naval Academy
yesterday that the situation was rather
thrust upon them there. The reserve
officers and Midshipmen are working
at high pressure and must, of course,
secure the necessary service. 1t was

help at the wages which the appro-
priation for the purpose permits, and
the Academy authorities, faced with
the situation of caring for a greatly
increased numbers of young officers
and Midshipmen, asked and were
granted permission to enlist a suffi-
cient number of mess helpers.
These men were enlisted for four
years and can be sent to any duty.
Under the law they cannot serve
ashore longer than six months at a
time, unless their commanding officer
reports that their services are particu-
larly necessary, and they cannot serve
for more than year in any case.
Most of those at the Academy have
been on the same duty for nearly a
year and must soon be sent to sea.

DOGS ARE NOW
DOUBLY TAXED

Since the County law went into ef-
feet for the taxing of all dogs, which
law is Statewide, and was passed at
the last session of the Legislature.
all dogs in Annapolis. are doubly tax
ed. or they woud be had their owners
paid the city tax on dogs the first of
May.
Those taxpayers who did not pay it
and thereby complied with the law are
now paying double tax. because they
were compelled to pay the county dog
tax
Complaint has been made at the
office of the City Clerk of this double
tax on dogs, and many owners of can
ines have asked to have their money
refunded. as only one tax is necessary.
This the City Clerk Tydings says can
not be done. except by the City Coun-
ell taking action. and will have TO be
considered at a special meeting called
for the purpose.
Pressure is being brought TO bear
to have the city refund the dog tax
imposed by them.

BICYCLE THIEF
AT 1T AGAIN

Early in the spring and again at the
beginning of summer a bicycle thief
was rampant in Annapolis and vicini-
ty. The stealing of a practically new
bicycle, belonging to Mr.. George
Davis, proprietor of a Maryland ave-
nue. Book Store, is recalled. Mr.. Davis
bicycle was stolen by the boldest of
thieves who deliberately took it from
in front of his mothers home on Duke
of Gloucester street, under the nose of
the police at the Station House oppos-
ite. Nothing was heard from the wheel,
and following the theft of the Davis
wheel there were several other BIZ
cycles stolen, one in the Naval Acad-
emy from the rack at one of the build
ings there where employees are ac-
customed to leave wheels while at
work
There was an arrest, and for awhile
no bicycles were stolen.
The bicycle thief, however, is at it
again. and on Monday night the BIZ
cycle of City Fire Marshal George
T. Basil, was stolen from his porch on
West street.
The wheel which Mr.. Basil, who
works at the Naval Academy, rides to
work, is sadly missed and has caused
him great inconvenience. Nothing
has been seen or heard of it since
Monday and it was stolen after dark.
That other than bicycle thieves are
at work in the neighborhood is evil
denced from the fact that $4,000 was
stolen a night or two ago from the
cash drawer of store in the same
neiphborhOod

Conditions Under Which Austria ian Fishermen May Be Employed
 Iu Alaskan Waters

Representations from big fish ing interests that among Alaska fisheries there is an extensive dependence on the services of AWsHian-born fishermen has led the Government to undertake to relieve the alleged serious sitla- tion by permitting Austrians to fish in Alaskan waters. The Gov emment has made this remark able concession believing that it would thereby prevent a serious curtailment of Alaska salmon canning operations which would result if Alaska canneries were refused the privilege of import ing Austrian fishermen. That it was no easy matter for those in- terested in the scheme to put it through is clearly indicated by the extremely cautious language used in the following memor- andum issued by the Depart ment of Justice:
 "The employers engaged in the canning and fishing industry in Alaskan waters desirous of employing Austrian alien enemies will at their early convenience please furnish this office with the names of their respective com panies, places of incorporation, principal officers. the nationality of the several officers of the, cor poration and a statement as to whether any of the stock of the corporation is owned, controlled
