The appeal for volunteers to join the
Annapolis and Anne Arundel County
Entertainment Committee of the
Maryland War Recreation Commission
has met with a cordial response.
AS a result of an address made by
Mrs. Adele Nathan (who is at the
head of the Entertainment Committee
for the State), at an informal meet
ing held recently at the residence of
Prof Theodore w. Johnson, the local
dramatic organization of the Five
Arts Club determined to take up the
organization of this committee as its
especial war work.
There is such a demand for enter
tainment of the men at Camp Meade,
Saunders Range, and those who visit
the armory that any one possessing
any talent for singing, acting, reading,
reciting or dancing should volunteer
their services.
It is not necessary to become d
member of the Five Arts Club or any.
other club in order to join this COM
mittee.
Blanks have been distributed for en-
rollment, but as comparatively few
people are reached in this way, a
duplicate blank is published in to-
days paper, and will be repeated to-
morrow.
Fill out the blank and leave it or
mail it to either of the following ad-
dresses:
Prof S. S. Handy, 236 Prince
George street, or Maryland Council of
Defense, Court of Appeals Building.
If left at the latter place, it should be
between 10 and u, or and 4 o'clock.
All persons sending in their names

A meeting to form committees who
will have in charge the planning of
monthly programs to be put on at
Meade, the armory, and at Saunders
Range, will be called for April Sth
at o'clock in Mcdowell Hall The
idea is to have a different person in
charge every month, who will select
from those who send in their names a
suitable program to help entertain
our soldiers.
Surely they need now more than
ever to have their minds diverted from
the grim and terrible war now being
waged in France.
Send in your name for service if you
have not already done so.
Don't wait to be asked. Volunteer!

Last Of Series OF Mid-Week
Lenten Sermons BY Visiting
Clergymen.

Before a congregation that filled

sermon, full of practical, personal les
sons for the individual man and wo-
man. last night at the service in St
Anne's
H. was the last of the series of mid
week Lenten sermons by visiting
clergymen
Chaplain Evans took for his text the
Gospel of St. Mark xiv Chapter. and
5Oth verse: And they all forsook Him
and fled"
He said some of us probably wished
we rad l,al ~ IT,, da = O.. the Scrip
ture. when the disciples OF Christ
whom He left To watch for one LoIr
while He went into the garden 10 pray,
"Forsook Him and flod." Doubtless
we would say some OF us would have
liked to be there to say one word for

said ,ho Chapla.l. are we not forsak-
ing Him and fleeing today? 10 we
stand by our colors. do we defend the
Blessed Lord? 10 we give Him The
best of our service?
What are we doing TO make the
world better? Are we doing our duty
toward Him and toward thc ChaTch?
The Chaplain spoke of the import
ance of religion 10 the individual. God
came to save the world from sin, but
lie came to save you and mg
There is not one road to Christ. but
there are as many roads as there are
individuals
He emphasized the responsibility of
each individual in his duty to
Christ; his personal duty 1t is not
what my neighbor does. but what

is great, and he quoted from a letter
he had received from man whose
son had given up his life in this war,

try. Life is duty. honor. courage,

The sermon was given marked at

ROAD LOAN IS
FINALLY PASSED.
Anne Arundel To Get Consider
able Highway And Bridge
Construction From Proceeds.
SPEICHER OPPOSES.
Garret Senator Takes A Whack
At Administration Of The
Maryland State Roads
Commission.

The three million dollar road loan
bill in which provision is made for
considerable amount of highly i'm
portant road building and bridge con-
struction in Anne Arundel county
was passed by the Senate last night
unamended and Notwithstanding the
fight made against it by Senator
Speicher.
Senator Norris registered objection
to the share allotted the city out of
the loan The bill provided Balti-
more should receive 20 per cent
after the 100000 set aside to meet
a similar contribution by the federal
government had been deducted This
would have made the city's share on
ly S472,000, Notwithstanding it paid
the bulk of the money and had to pro-
vide for these roads to be taken over
when the annexation law became eff
fective.
The protest registered was effec-
tive, for after a conference with the
committee it was agreed to change
this provision so that Baltimores
share was fixed at one-ffth of the en-
tire loan or S6OO,000. Originally the
amount allotted was only $472,000
The amendment was prepared and
almost unanimously adopted
Senator Andrews then proposed an
amendment to the effect that only
the gaps in roads should be con-
structed now, so that the main ar
teries might be connected and that
all new work be delayed until after
the war.
This led to considerable discussion,
the oposition, contending that the
term after the war; was too indefi-
mite and that the Roads Commission
could be trusted to use proper dis
cretion. The Senate rejected the
amendment
The most bitter opposition was
that registered by Senator Speicher
He objected to the latitude given the
State Roads Commission, which was
given authority to construct roads as
it deemed necessary. He wanted the
bill TO set forth that the counties
should receive their share according
to road mileage, as was provided in
the law of 1912. He claimed that his
county had been promised a share of
the last loan, but it had received
nothing.
