DOCTORS OF THE
CITY CALLED TO
WAR TIME DUTY
Physicians And Surgeons Of An
napolis May Be Scarce With
in Few Months
SOME GOING UP FOR
PHYSICAL TRYOUTS
Most Of Towns Physicians Vol.
unteered For Service In Med
ical Reserve Corps

Physicians and surgeons of Annapo-
lis may very shortly begin to get so
scarce that it will be necessary for
the comparatively few left to double
up on their work of caring for the sick
of the town while others go off to war
| time duties. Several of the city's med
| ical men, including DIR. Walton H.
Hopkins, County Health officer, and a
member of the staff of the Annapolis
Emergency Hospital, will, it is under
stood, appear within the next week or
ten days before an army medical ex-
aiming board to be passed upon
physically before being finally COM
missioned in the various grades of
the medical corps and assigned to ac-
tive war duty. While all of those &C
cepted will not be sent abroad, it is
reliably understood that at least two
have expressed a willingness and re-
ceived limitations that their duties
will see them get service in the hos
pitfalls of France and England. 9th
ers of the local medical fraternity
will, it is said, be given duty within
TIE OHltcu OldlGS at lllC DdSS
hospitals.
When this country first entered the
war, and the call for men to serve in
the U. S. Medical Reserve Corps was
issued, practically every doctor in An
napolis volunteered to render such
service to the government as he was
capable of, and at the same time
signed up" for service at such time
as these service might be needed. The
growing need for trained physicians
and surgeons has led to the call from
the government to all the physicians
of the country with the result that An
napolitans may, within a short time,
have TO see their family physician"
leave for the strenuous service of a
war surgeons life.

YOUNG BOY DROWNED
IN UPPER COUNTY

Harold Fitzhugh West, II years old,
the eldest son of Dir. and Mrs. Harold
E. West, of Westhaven, on the Third
District shores of the Magothy River
in Anne Arundel County, was drown

when swimming in the Magothy.
Harold had been fishing with his
three brothers and Raymond Note
ware. a friend. When their boat was
off Horner's Wharf, on the opposite
side of the river from Westhaven, he
dived overheard. He was an expert
swimmer. but was evidently taken sick
and failed to come to the surface.
His brothers, John and Roberdeau,
remained by the spot, while William
and Raymond rowed to Westhaven and
notified Mr.. West. Mr.. West dived for
the body and recovered it near the

NURSES MAY SOON
HAVE HOME OF OWN
Ministering Angels At The Elmer
gency Hospital To Be Locat-
ed In The Duvall House
TO GIVE PATIENTS ROOM

Because of the growing demands for
its care, and the need of additional
room for patients, as well as for the
comfort and greater convenience OF
the nurses themselves, il is likely that
there will shortly be established in
Annapolis a home for the corps of
nurses of the Annapolis Emergency
Hospital.
The present plan. details of which
have not been entirely worked out, is
to have a comfortable dwelling located
away from the hospital and to there
establish home for the nurses. The
plan has progressed to the point
where the location has been discuss
ed and the hospital authorities and
Duvall house, located at the corner of
Southgate avenue and Franklin street,
Immediately across the avenue from
the handsome home of Major and Mrs.
John dep. Douw Much of the detail
of the plan remains to be worked out
and at this time no one in authority
is prepared TO make a definite state
ment, but the idea is meeting with
general favor, as it has many excellent
features to recommend it. In addition
to the fact that the opening of a sepa-
rate home for the nurses would give
them brighter, more comfortable and
more cheerful accommodations is the
practical side of the question. Such
a change would, by moving the nurses
out of the hospital proper give more
additional room for the accommoda-
ton of patients. 1t is thought that
several private rooms and a small pub
lie ward might easily be made from
the quarters now occupied by the
nurses.
II was with the idea that such a
move will have to be made eventually
that The Capital recently started the
fund for the acquisition of the Seide-
WITT property adjoining the present
hospital lot. In this connection, one
former Annapolitan has already start
ed a subscription for the creation of
a fund out of which will later be built
a nurses home The purchase of the
Seidewitz property has already Sc
cured the necessary ground for such
a building when the necessary funds
are accumulated.

John BARLEYCORN ON
CAMP PAROLE ROAD
Residents OF Section Are Being
Treated To Some Wierd Sights
Nowadays, IL IL Said

Although Annapolis is dry and the
surrounding territory is dry, and there
are stringent anti-transportation rules
which ade being more or less drastic
ly enforced, the members of the col
ored population in the neighborhood
of Camp Parole seem from all ac-
counts to have unearthed a route for
the importation of fire water. Ac-
cording to residents of the neighbor-
hood numbers of the negroes seem to
be getting sufficient of the frey fluid
to accumulate real jags. Discussing
the conditions, resident of the little
village said today that recently there
has been an increase in drunkenness,
particularly among the negroes. One
night recently a colored man was
found lying beside the road in such a
totally "spifiicated" and thoroughly
helpless condition that his friends had
TO reuuisition a wheelbarrow to tote"
him to his home, about half mile
down the road.

MUCH INTEREST
IN ANNEXATION
CASE OUTCOME
Judges Of Appellate Court Are To
Return To Annapolis On
Monday Night
DETAILED OPINION
is NOT UNLIKELY
Case Was Argued Before A Full
Bench Two Weeks Ago And
Early Decision Promised

Keen interest is now being manifest
oil in the probable outcome OF the APP
ossl I'm the efforts Of Baltimore and
Anne Arundel Counties TO have set
aside the annexation act passed by the
last General Assembly. The case
was argued two weeks ago and the
Court OF Appeals decision is expected
,o be filed on Tuesday OF next week,
when the Judges of the Court of APP
meals return to Annapolis. The APP
pellate Court sat on Friday. July 10.
and part of the following day in spe-
cial session TO hear argument of OPP
Dosing counsel, representing Balti-
more and Anne Arundel Counties and
Baltimore City. The special setting
was granted by the Court because of
the vast important public interests in
yOlyed in an early settlement of the
controversy. Immediately after argu-
ment was concluded the Court took an
adjournment until July 30th, at which
time It is confidently expected an opin-
ion will be filed. While the general
impression has been that the Court Of
Appeals would content itself with the
filing Of a per curium order either
sustaining or knocking out the An
nexation Act those most closely in
touch with the situation would not be
at an surprised should the Judges de-
termine to go thoroughly into the mer-
lbs Of the case and set forth in full
their reasons for whatever decision
they may hand down.
The present program is for Chief
Judge Boyd and his associates to ar
rive in Annapolis Monday night of
next week, at which time a judicial
conference will be held. During this
conference it is expected that the an
nexation case will be voted upon and
the opinion ordered prepared.
Whether or not the side losing out
will accept the Courts opinion as final
or will endeavOr to carry the issue to
the United States Supreme Court is
not definitely known yet, but the gem
eral impression is that the Maryland
Courts ruling will be allowed to
stand

days repairing the Companys wharf,

The colchester wharf is used al
together by the service people of the
army, the men going to and from the
rife range, opposite the Naval Acad-
envy, where they are being instructed
in rife practice, embarking and dis
embarking there.
The consequent wear and tear on
the wharf from this additional usage
has occasioned the need for repairs.

As.ns:ch as The countries to whom the
money is duo viii for the most part
necd It FOR :t~: capital expenditures
'os much Of the deb. IS likely to DC
lcuGstcd in this manner.
But whatever view is taken, it is
OBJ >;ous that the information financial
situation after the war will be a very
complicated, not to say delicate, one,
and will need to be handled with the
greatest wisdom and circun spcction.
lnored, the Importance OF adjusting
ths financial situation will not be in
ter!or to that of finding a solution of
the economic situation. In Russia we
see that food is plentiful in some parts
of the country while in other parts
East numbers Of people are starving
because they have not the means of
purchasing the food they need. No
very great difficulty would have been
cXp4 p4rienccd in adjusting this situa-
ton bad the rulers of Russia really
wished to do so, had given reason
able amount of thought and good Wi!
to the matter and had applied them
selves to adapting the country's fina1l-
clal machinery to its economic needs.
1t is of supreme Importance that
situation such as that now existing in
Russia should not be allowed to arise
in the world at large after the war,
with consequences as appalling rs or
even more appalling than have been
witnessed in Russia.
Already suggestions have been made
TO bring about an understanding be-
tween all the nations OF the world for !
the purpose rot only Of mutual ic-
dence and protection against any Ak
@Taasivc country in future, but also
TO deal with the grave economic situa-
ton llsely to arise after the war, when
the peoples OF the enemy countries
will be prepared to bid for food and
raw material at any price unless an
arrangement has been already reached
for distributing the worlds supplies
OF the essentials of life equitably be-
tween the nations. And it is obvious
that similar understanding is de-
manded for dealing with the financial
situation, not merely for the purpose
of dealing with the problems directly
arising from the war, but in order to
provide the poorer nations Of the
world with the financial assistance
they will urgently need in order to
enable them to pay for the food and
raw material they will want to pre-
serve them from starvation.
