One of the Baltimore papers of yes
terday contains a most impressive and
feeling tribute, paid by a former An
napolitan, to Lieutenant Edward f.
Tomlinson, of Fort Howard, who has
made the supreme sacrifice" on the
soil of France. The writer is Lieu
tenant George d. Riley, of the U. S.
Army, son of Dr. e. S. Riley, of An
napolis, and a former Baltimore news
paper man.
Among other things Lieutenant
Riley says:
Lieutenant Tomlinson was one of
the efficient, clean-cut type of enlisted
men who was rewarded at the out
break of war by being commissioned
an officer in the army he had so
faithfully served in the ranks. His
record of 90 years was one of cheer
full application and meritorious con-
duct extending through the Spanish
American War and the instruction in
the Philippines. Coming to Fort How
ard two years ago. His quiet and I'M
obtrusive manliness and efficiency won
him the esteem of his military super
iors."

VAGARIES DUE TO
FORECASTER'S ABSENCE
DIR. Oliver l.. Fassig Away For Months.
Not "A Stacker, But on
Bigger job

Everybody in Annapolis knows DR..
Oliver L. Fassig, the Baltimore
Weather Man. Chief Observer. who
grinds out the daily forecast received
by the Capital for the last thirty
years. Indeed DR.. Fassig is a SON
in-law of Annapolis He married Miss
Mccoy. one Of the city's fair daugh-
ters.
DR.. Fassig has been away for some
months. Mr. Joseph Billy, Jr., is on
the job. and is holding down the lii at
the Baltimore Custom House Weather
Bureau, but when the cats away the
mice will play. and it seems the same
thing with the weather
Since DR. Fassig's absence there
have been all sorts and conditions of
weather.
Yes, sir; ever since the last Of
March
His departure was effected mighty
noiselessly. There's a reason for that.
It was under Government supervis-
ion. And the Government, in war
times,- has a way of doing things
quickly and quietly.
DR. Oliver l.. Fassig, in charge of
the Baltimore bureau at the Custom
House for 20 years or so, has deserted
his post But he couldn't be called
Stacker He has taken up more inn
portant work-more important in
that its scope is greatly extended.

of instruction of men in the Signal
Corps Ct the United sta e. Army for

tural and Mechanical College of

When he left Baltimore the last day
of March for Washington he was on
the way to Fort Macarthur. Texas,

the school of instruction. But 1t de-
yeloped that the country there wasn't
suited for the work, and so the school
was moved early in May to its present
location. There DR.. Fassig is train

STORM DAMAGES
TELEPHONE LINES

Damage wrought by last nights
and today's storm cannot be estimated
so far as the Chesapeake and Potomac
Telephone Company is concerned.
Trunk lines were damaged between
Annapolis and Baltimore, and between
Annapolis, Baltimore and the Eastern
Shore.
What the damage is has not been
clearly defined at this time Manager
Clemson sent out trouble men at an
early hour this morning to discover
the trouble and remedy it, but up to
two o'clock had not been heard from.
1t is thought trees have fallen and
damaged the trunk lines which are
put out of commission. Telephone
connection between Baltimore and An
napolis and Annapolis and the Eastern
Shore was much hampered today, and
altogether inadequate, the storm hav
ing crippled the telephone service to
a considerable extent.

SOLDIERS ENTERTAINED
AT SAUNDERS RANGE

Annapolis fully sustained its repu-
tation as a successful entertainer of
the soldier boys, in the combination
that gave a show at Saunders Naval
Range, yesterday, Tuesday, under
the. direction of Miss Heffenger.
They arrived at the Range at thrill
ling moment The 14OO men stationed
there had only a couple of hours be-
fore been put in quarantine and were
packing up to Ego over" they were
filled with excitement and when the
party from Annapolis arrived and
were taken into camp under a Cor
poral's Guard (and incidentally had
to get a permit from the Colonel COM
handing to get out again) they were
cheered and received with great en-
thusiasm. :
The ladies and gentlemen giving
their services, were Miss Isael Nc
Nasty, soprano; Miss Alice Tucker.
(of South River), elecutionist; Mr.
Stanton, baritone, and Mr. Royal
Wigley, tenor Mrs. Shenton and Mrs.
Wilson, accompanies.
The work done was of the usual high
standard and the boys" appreciation
of it was proven, not only in their
applause, but in their wish that you
all could only be quarantined here
with us" There was a very realistic
touch of real grim war conditions in
the scene in that camp in the woods
at Saunders Range last night, and the
knowledge that these cheering. laugh
ing, joking soldiers of Uncle Sam were
almost straining at the leach in their
eagerness to be in the thick of it over
there" with all it means, was a very
SOLDERING thought to those who are
left behind.

paratively little direct damage, and
wholly intended to get on the nerves
of the people at home.
"All of this is accompanied by; the
most active possible propaganda, es-
pecially in Italy. designed to deceive
the people and to strike down their
morale AS a prominent Italian Off
Ger said to me, The diapason of the
home is the diapason of the army at
the front The civilian at home must
stand firmly behind the army.
Zone of the great missions of the
Red Cross, therefore, has been to at
tempt to uphold the morale of the peo-
pie at home We have workers all
over Italy and France carrying mes
sage of comfort and cheer. helping es-
pecially 10 care for the refugees driven
away from their homes. to care for the
children and to provide for the sick
and needy, particularly among the
families of soldiers.
I'm France we are carrying on di-
rect work in 121 cities and towns, So
out of the total 50 Departments, or
counties, of the Republic being COW
cred by American Red Cross activi-
ties In Italy we conduct direct activi-
ties in As cities and towns, and we
extend relief in 21S other places.
Among Belgian refugees in France our
work is on a similar scale.
These activities include the conduct
refugee homes, tuberculosis hospitals,
provision of food and clothing,
scholaires' for the children-(we are
helping to care for nearly 100000
children in Europe today)-the- organ
ization of workrooms where refugees
may carry on their ordinary occupa-
tions. We supply milk for babies and
convalescents, conduct dispensaries
and children's day nurseries-in fact,
do everything which could bring relief
to the people distressed and afflicted
as these are.
I'VE are helping to house more than
1900 persons in Paris, and have plac-
ed a fund of over $1,00Q,000 at the dis
posal of General Petain and other
French generals to care for sick and
disabled French soldiers and their
needy families.
1--WE have given medical examination
to nearly 10000 French children
driven to France by Germans from oc-
cupied territory. This did much to
prevent epidemics in France We also
