CAMP MEADE OFFICERS
HERE ON LONG RIDE

Taking a test ride for themselves
and at the same time trying out some
of the horses recently secured for re
mounting purposes the officers of the
Three Hundred and Tenth Field Ar
tillery, from Camp Meade on Satur-
day afternoon covered the 19 miles
from that place to Annapolis in hour
and 46 minutes.
This was one of the preliminaries
to the 50-mile ride to Annapolis and
return, with only a short stop at Car
vel Hall for tea and the watering of
the horses.
The horses were kept going at a
lively clip all the way, and a veteri-
marian was stationed every few miles
along the route to pass upon the con
dition of the horses After a rest on
the lot next to Carvel Hall on King
George street, the animals were sad
died up again and the return trip
started. 1t was not accomplished in
such good time, however, and it was
well after o'clock when the sore and
weary horses and men got back to
camp.

HOSPITAL BENEFIT
BY CHORAL SOCIETY.

The Annapolis Choral Glass under
the dictatorship of Mr. Joseph Pache
is preparing to give concert for the
benefit of the Emergency Hospital,
about the middle of this month.
The concert will be given in the
gymnasium of st. Johns College,
which has been kindly loaned for the
occasion. As it will be the first oc-
casion of the public appearance in
Annapolis of the Choral Society. great
interest is attached to the forthcom-
ing concert. and especially as it is a
hospital benefit Annapolis people
have been generous in contributing to
the war work relief, but at this time
they are asked to be generous to the
needs of a worthy local institution,
whose good is far reaching and whose
benefits are scarcely to be estimated

Uncle Sam to help lick the Kaiser
This is the gist of the figures given
out by Col. Harry ]. Hopkins, chair
man of the Anne Arundel County
Third Liberty Loan Committee. And
IL means that Annapolis is not only
entitled to a Third Liberty Loan
Honor Flag" but that in addition this
flag should carry an extra honor
stripe for having doubled its quota.
The county's allotment was $244,-
600: the total subscription was $502,
coo, or just $25S,O00 over the mini
mum allotment.
Incidentally the whole State of
Maryland also climbed out of the
trenches and won its honor flag. The
flag was received from Washington
this morning and was at once ordered
flung to the breeze. So from all over
the town today can be seen its proud
colors whipping in the breezes above
The dome of the State House. Just
above are the Stars and Stripes, and
on State occasions there will also be
seen the Maryland cOlors. so that the
old flag stan is trebly honored and
decorated with anti-Kaiser symbols.
The great pleasure felt by the peo-
pie of the town and the rural sections
of the county over the showing is in
creased by the fact that there were so
many comparatively small subscrip-
tions and that it was not a strictly
rich-man's contribution Jumped into
few big blocks. True, the banking in
stitutions did their part but so did the
people who could only buy a $50 or
a 500 or mayhap a $500 bond.
The loan was subscribed most heav-
lily through the Farmers National
Bank. which is credited with 100000.
The subscriptions of others brought
the total credited to the Annapolis
Banking and Trust Company up to
$500 and that through the Anna
polls Savings Institution to S43,100,
while even the new Annapolis Bank,
which did not have its doors opened
during the campaign, pending the re-
modelling and fitting up of its bank
ing house at the corner of Glouces-
ter street and Church Circle, listed
$S.SO0
Most gratifying of all, however, is
the announcement of Col. Hopkins
that the final total has not yet been
reached, as several sources of collec-
ton are still to be heard from.
To the women of the town and coun-
ty as we'll as to the men and the
members of the financial institutions
goes great credit for the magnificent
showing of Anne Arundel. The grand
total to date solicited by the members
of the National Woman's Liberty Loan
Committee through Mrs. Theodore W.
Johnson. shows that s164,250 of the
countys grand total was collected
through their activities. Which is no
mean sum of money. even in such big
figures as Anne Arundel has raised
incidentally there is also included
i'm the total for the town and county
s174S5O which was subscribed by
people connected with the Naval
Academy. and over $4,000 collected
or subscribed for by the government
employees and other members of the
force at work on the new addition TO
Bancroft Hall at the Academy.

JUDGE GIVES PRAISE
TO POLICE FORCE
Compliments Chief Obery And
Sergeant Holiday For Effort
In Rounding Up Offenders.

At the conclusion of several cases
Of raids made recently on colored
houses where liquor was being dis
pensed freely. and the law violated,
Judge Moss called the Chief of Po-
lice Charles Obery and Sergeant Hol-
liday before the Court and con-
graduated them upon their vigilance
and successful effort in prosecuting
the law.
The Judge said he hoped they would
keep up the good work and would
finally rid Annapolis of this element
of lawlessness.
Annapolis is a city, he said, where
mothers and fathers send their sons,
mere boys, to be educated, and we
want no such violation of the law here
We want this a clean city, morally
clean, and fit for young men and
young women to be able to go about
without fear of contamination.
The Judge congratulated the Chief
of Police and the Sergeant, and the
police force, through them. in their
effort TO bring to punishment all
offenders of the law.

HOSPITAL SUBSCRIPTIONS.

Following the regular Offering at
the morning service the pastor had
the ushers take another Offering In
this there were AZ members who put
i'm dollar bill each. The rest was i'm
smaller sums, but it came with ap-
parent willingness. and set n pace for
the other churches and the other peo-
pie of the town In bringing the
money to The Capital Office this
morning. the pastor of this church eX-
pressed the hope and said he feels
confident that the congregation of his
church will make their final donation
over 500 Which is doing very very
well and shows that the colored people
of the town have within them deep
feeling of appreciation for the benefits
of the hospital, and it's treatment and
care of the sick and injured members
of their race.
Then following this donation from
the members of the Asbury Church.

recent Grand Jury, which made an in
spection of the hospital and compli-

from Mr.. c. A. l.. Wilson, Mr.. c. A.
Howard, and Mr.. James J. Stehle.
The rector of st. Anne's Parish
brought in $40, and Mr. Raymond l..
Moss made "A pledge of $5. Shortly
after l o'clock Mr. Martin NJ Smith
telephoned in to the Office that he had
500 he desired to contribute TO the
good cause.
At the rate The Capital list is
growing there seems little room to
doubt that the necessary amount will
be raised and raised quickly. But if
it is to be done the people Of the
town must come forward and show i'm
a substantial way their interest BY
substantial" is not meant that each
contributor must make a "substan-
tial" donation. a large number of
small contributors will do just as well
and will give the people Of the town
the feeling which many Of them al
ready with justice have that this is
Our" hospital, that does good TO
Our people and that it therefore de-
serves and is going TO get the full
support Of all the people in Our town.

following his illness the daughter was

father was taken i'll yesterday.
II has been contended for some time

would appear to be a striking illus
tration at this time of the contagious
ness of the disease.
