BOY SCOUTS RECEIVE
VERY DESERVED PRAISE

High praise for the work done by
the Boy Scouts of Annapolis for their
work in securing subscriptions for the
Fourth Liberty Loan, is contained in
a letter from W. G. Young, of national
Boy Scout headquarters, New York
City. The letter to Hugh r. Riley, act
ing scoutmaster. says: Permit me to
congratulate you and the scouts on the
very excellent results achieved
The national headquarters are con-
sidering the claims of Troop 2 for
premier honors among the troops of
the country in securing subscriptions.
1t j salso thought that William Stand
ley of that troop. is in the running for
first individual honors. 1t will be re-
membered that the Scouts secured
over s173.000 worth of subscriptions,
which was more than fifth of the
total quota for Anne Arundel county.

Governors Wife Pleasantly Enter
tains Small Company OF War

With that forethought characteristic
of the First Lady of Maryland" and
the hospitality of the true old Mary
land kind for which she is noted, Mrs.

vited over to the Executive Mansion
yesterday afternoon at the close of the
War Mothers meeting, Mrs. Parkin

Mrs. Harrington herself poured and
the refreshing cup that cheers, but
not inebriates," with dainty sand

joyed by the little party, especially
those who were to take the long ride
on rainy evening back to Baltimore.
Always a charming hostess, the
thoughtfulness of the governors wife
on this occasion, was especially ap-
preciated.

M|DSH|PMEN DEFEAT
GALLAUDET At TO 5
Game Spirited And Well Defend
ed BY Visitors. Farwell
And Lewis Star
MANY BRILLIANT PLAYS

In spite of very spirited defense by
Gallaudet, the midshipmen had no diff
ficulty in wining at basketball yester-
day afternoon, the score being AZ to s.
The visitors made their only scores
from the fioor--two goals by Downes-
after the navy had made its second
substitution of an entire team.
Farwell and Lewis worked together
splendidly this afternoon, and gave
promise of developing into one of the
academy's best pair of forwards. Der
ringer nearly always put the team into
action by getting the tip-off, but did
not get into the scoring himself until
the second half The visitors went at
their work with a spirit which was ac-
knowledged by the applause of the
midshipmen, but their team work was
loose, and they were on the defensive
throughout.
The score of the first half was % to
IL.
There were several flashes of bril-
liant playing by the midshipmen. Two
exceptional stunts took place close to-
gether about the middle of the final
period. The first was a very pretty
running shot for goal by Lewis, and
the other a score by Farwell who re-
ceived the ball when Derringer bat
ted the ball at the toss-up clear to the
end of the court. Capt Loves played
only little while His knee has not
improved to any extent, and he plays
with a metal brace 1t is doubtful if
the fast leader of the five will be able
to do much work on the floor during
the season.
The summary:
Gallaudet-Wilson, left forward; La
Fountain, right forward: Downes, CEN
ter; Bouchard left guard; Ferguson,
right guard.
Naval Academy-Farwell, left for
ward; Lewis. right forward; Derring-
er, center; Bolton, left guard. Waters,
right guard.

GALA ATTIRE FOR
CITY NEXT WEEK
Annapolis Expected To Give Fit
ting Reception To Visit
ing Governors
ALL URGED TO DECORATE

"Hang out the flag" should be the
slogan in Annapolis for the next three
days according to Mrs. Harrington,
wife of the governor, who is deeply in
terested in the success of the forth
coming meeting of governors here.
Every house, every Office, every
store in Annapolis should display the
they possess from Monday, when the
governors meet until Wednesday, when
they adjourn" Mrs Harrington urged
yesterday.
This is historic city, and much
is expected of it, Annapolis is hon
ored by the coming of the governors
from thirty-nine states in conference
here, and the town should be all color
and brightness.
mo formal, or official request to
decorate has gone forth, and no civic
action has been taken, but it is hoped
the citizens may feel enough pride in
the grand old town to decorate for the
governors.
First Impressions are generally
lasting, and the towns people want the
visiting governors to take away last
ing impression for good of the old city
by the Severn.
Let as many stores as can decorate
and let every owner of an American
flag fly it to the breeze next week, and
those who have no flags, buy one for
the occasion. 1t is an honor to An
napolis for the governors to have Sc
lected this city az the place for hold
ing their Tenth Annual Conference"
1t is thought that city officials will
probably take some official action in
the matter in recognition of the i'm
portant character of the event and the
signal honor being paid the city.

ACADEMY SPORTS
SCHEDULE UNCERTAIN

Owing to the unsettled condition of
sports in the various colleges which
formed units of the Students Army
Training Corps, the Naval Academy
teams in winter sports are having
some difficulty in filling their sched-
ules. The sports affected are swim
ming, fencing, gymnastics and wrest-
ling. 1t is believed that the situation
will clear up after the 21st of this
month, when rehabilitation will be
completed, and the different institu-
tions will determine whether they will
be represented in these sports.

ST. JOHNS READY
TO MEET ANY FIVE
Coach Wilson Has Huskiest
Squad He Has Had In Years
At Daily Practice
MAY LOSE SOME S. A. T. c.

The biggest and most promising
basketball squad which Coach Johnny
Wilson has had for years is on the
floor of st. Johns gymnasium daily
for practice. 1t numbers thirty-five
and includes several players who have
already made reputation, while the
majority have had more or less ex-
perience in the game. The average
physique OF the members of the squad
is also very good.
OF last years five. Capt. Recher, cen
ter, and Eiler, forward, are available.
while Semler. the star quarterback OF
the eleven, who was substitute for
ward last season, promises to develop
much of the expertness on the court
which he displayed on the gridiron this
fall
Baltimore City college has contrib
uted strongly to the st. Johns squad
Biegel brothers, stars of its team last
season, and Baurenschmidt, formerly
center. Harry Biegel is playing for
ward and Phil Biegel at guard Spiel
man, former Mt. ST. Joseph's guard,
is another experienced candidate,
while Banfield and Brewer have played
on good high school fives, the former
at Hagerstown, and the latter at Cum
berland
Coach Wilson may lose some of his
squad when the Students Army Train
ing Corps demobilizes, but he is con-
fident that the team will be unusually
strong in any event. Harry Biegel,
Spielman and Baurenschmidt may pos
sibly be lost to the squad by this
means.
Owing to the uncertain conditions
brought about by the status of the S.
A. t. c., the schedule has not been ar
ranged definitely, the only game ar
ranged being that with the midship-
men on December 49, However, an
effort will be made to play two games
with each Maryland college which
will put a five on the floor. The insti-
tutions which have agreed to exchange
games are Maryland State. Washing
ton college, Johns Hopkins Medical
and Mt. st. Mary's.
The st. Johns management under
stands that Johns Hopkins will not
have representative team. but that
the Medical school will put team of
veterans on the floor Western Mary
land may also have basketball this
year, and if it does, will meet ST.
Johns. The local collegians also ex-
pect a game or two with Mt. st. JOS
eph's, and a few teams from adjoining
states or the district.

ROLL CALL OF
THE NATION FOR
THE RED CROSS
Henry P. Dawson, Chairman OF
War Council, Makes
Statement
FUTURE POLICY OF
AMERICAN RED CROSS
America To Rededicate Itself
Christmas To Service
Of Mankind

t,onry p. DAWSON, chairman OF the
w., Council of the Red Cross, has is
,aed 10 the 1854 chapters an dthe 22.-
Sso 0O0 members of the American Red
r,oss the following statement out
r,ing the future policy of the Ameri-
can Red Cross.
The whole American people will be
invited in the work preceding Christ
mas to enroll as members of the Red
rross II is confidently believed there
need be no further campaigns for Red
Cross funds, but instead, the annual
roll call will constitute the foundation
AZ the Red Cross. The people should
therefore know as definitely as pos
sIble the plans of this their national
humanitarian society.
Since the armistice was signed, l
have had an opportunity to confe in
Paris with the heads of all American
Red Cross commissions in Europe,
and later in Washington with the
President OF the United States, the
War Council OF the Red Cross, the
managers of the Ia Red Cross divis-
IONS Of the United States. and with the
heads OF our departments at National
headquarters. | am. therefore, able to
speak now with knowledge and assur-
snCe in saying that the beneficient
work Of the American Red Cross is to
80 forward on a great scale. not alone,
as heretofore, for purposes of relief in
war. but as an agency of peace and
permanent human service.
Wherever our soldiers and sailors
may be, the Red Cross will stay with
them until they are demobilized. Moth
Ing which we may do will be left un-
done either for the men in the war
ione for those returning, for those in
Ae camps and hospitals, or for their
families at home to whom will con-
unue to be devoted the ministrations
Of the Red Cross Home service. In
this latter effort $4,000 trained Red
Cross workers are now engaged at
$500 different places throughout the
land.
The war program of the American
Red Cross will thus steadily and rap
Idly merge itself into a peace pro-
gram The wake of the war will,
however, reveal the prevalence of dis
ease and give rise to epidemics and
emergencies which in all parts of the
world will call for unlimited volun-

McADOO ON BEING PRESIDENT

William G. McAdoo, Secretary of
the Treasury, director general of the
railroads and wheelhorse in war work,
isn't thinking about his political fu-
ture, even if he is the logical Demo-
cratic candidate for President to suc4
coed his father-in-law. His frank
statement of the case is typical of the
directness of the man:
"The politicians invented rumor
that am ambitious to be President of
the United States. Now, that is a
perfectly worthy ambition for any
American and nothing to be ashamed
of. But right here let me say that
l wish people would stop talking about
it, because it hampers me in my pub
lie work, both here and at the Treas
ury." He sat down again, the traces
of anger gradually vanishing.
81, like so many others, am working
with single aim--to beat the Kaiser
and to win this war. That is all any
one ought to think of now. But the
politicians can't forget politics. So
they invented story that was real
ly the one responsible for the Gar
field fuel order, but that the President,
in order to shield me, because | am
his son-in-law and because of those
ambitions for the Presidency, asked
DR.. Garfield to put out the order
People who know the President know
that l would be the last one whom he
would try to shield because of that
very relationship"

OUR EXPANDING NEEDS

The need for saving and economy by
our people, the need for the most lib
eral and loyal financial support of our
Government by the people and incl
dentally the need for some such finan-
cial machinery as that sought to be
secured by the war finance corpora
ton bill now pending in Congress-
are not only verified by the extraor-
binary demands made upon the Unit
ed States to meet its war needs and
the war needs of its allies, but are al
so emphasized by the growth of our
own domestic trade.
The domestic trade of the United
States for 1917 was estimated by
Prof. Anderson, of Harvard Univer-
sity, at $64 100000, 900; in 1918 it was
but $50, 100000. The strain on the
| financial machinery and resources of
the country to take care of this ire
mendous increase in our domestic
trade as well as meet the extraordi-
nary demands of the war can be ap-
preciated by all.
The Secretary of the Treasury, in
drafting the war finance bill, gave
thorough study to the measures adopt
ed by our allies in Europe and to the
conditions in this country, and it is
believed that the proposed bill is a
wise and conservative war measure
to give relief during the period of the
war. 1t is primarily measure to
enable the financial institutions Of the
country to furnish necessary credits
to industries and enterprises essential
to the prosecution of the war, and Sec
cretary McAdoo is of the opinion that
the mere existence of the machinery
established by this act would be so
effective in maintaining confidence
that the actual exercise of the power
would seldom be needed.
