Expects Majorities In Baltimore
City, Anne Arundel, Howard

Party Workers Give Their Views
New York Paper Estimates
The State Situation

In the closing days of the campaign,
State Senator Frank NJ Duvall, Dem
ocratic nominee for the House of
Representative from the Fifth Dis
trict, is expressing great confidence
in his election over Sydney +. Mudd,
Republican incumbent. He bases this
expection upon his assurances that
he will receive at least 1900 majority
in the portion of Baltimore City be-
longing to the Fifth; 500 or 600 in his
home county of Anne Arundel; about
500 in Howard and a comfortable ma
jority in Prince Georges. These, he
feels certain, will overcome any ma
jority Mudd may receive in Charles,
st. Mary's and Calvert, his informa-
tion being that the majorities in ST.
Mary's and Calvert will be small. if
any.
Senator Duvall was in the city this
morning, having recovered from his
recent attack of influenza. He stated
that he felt certain that the county,
outside of Annapolis, would give him
upwards of 500 majority, and that his
information was that Annapolis should
certainly split even. A well-known
party worker in the city was of the
same opinion. He said that he had
examined the situation in Annapolis
and Eastport, and could find few Dem
ocrats who were out going to sup
port Mudd. Another prominent party
worker of the city said that there had
been marked change among many
Democrats since the President issued
his appeal for Democratic Congress.
He thought that there would be about
an even break here, with large vote,
which had generally been cast for
Mudd, not so likely to favor him as
in past years.
Richard Duvall, brother of Senator
Duvall, has just returned from a visit
to Prince Georges. His report is that
outside of about two precincts, the sit
uation is excellent there. There are
reasons to believe that the Presidents
appeal will have particular effect in
the sections contiguous to Washing
ton. Information from Baltimore
City is that the workers are trying to
do all they can for Duvall. There
feeling is entirely friendly towards
the Anne Arundel Senator. AS Balti-
more won its fight for annexation,

ANOTHER CAMPAIGN
FOR WAR FUNDS
Seven Departments Of War
Work Represented In
This Drive
ALL NEED THE MONEY

/ Annapolis is to have another cam
paign for funds similar to that for the
Liberty Loan. 1t is to raise money
to support the organizations that are
taking care of our soldiers in the field: !:
the Y. NJ. c. A; Y. w. c. A.; Knights
of Columbus; Jewish Welfare Board !;
War Camp Community Service !;
American Library Association, and
The Salvation Army
The work done by these organiza-
tions is as important for the success
ful carrying on of the war as that of
any branch of the combatant forces.
Not only do they look out for the ply
sical and moral welfare of the soldiers
in the field, but they look after his
family at home, and they give aid and
comfort to the afflicted inhabitants of
the war zone. Now, too, that the war
seems about over the Importance of
these organizations is increased, for
the work of reconstruction will make
extra demands on them, and all of our
soldiers cannot be got back home for

have to be amused and watched over
for a long time when the task will be
harder in some ways because of their
time being so much less occupied.
Every American will therefore feel 1t
not only the duty but a privilege to
give something TO support these or
ganizations which are doing so much
for the cause of his country and that
of humanity.
The work here is being organized
by Mr.. E. T. Dadmun, campaign di-
rector of the Annapolis District, and
he is assisting the Executive Commit
tee of the War Camp Community Serv-
ice, of which Mr.. w. Meade Holiday
is chairman.
The collecting in Annapolis is to be
done by bands captained by the fol-
lowing men: Mr.. Frank Munroe,
Philip Miller, A. c. Davis and Sidney
Gum, with Mr.. G. S. Alden in charge
of West Annapolis and Wardour, and
Mr.. A. S. Storton in charge of East
port The quota for this county is
$40, 900, and it is hoped that everybody
will turn to and help to exceed this,
for public opinion recognizes the pa
triotic character of this work and will
condemn all slackers in it as strongly
as those who shirk military duty

GREAT NEW BUILDING
. FOR NAVAL ACADEMY
Navigation And SeamanShip
Departments Will Be Housed
BY Next Academic Year
BIG BUILDINGS PLANNED

site for the new building for the
departments of navigation and sea-
manship ,at the Naval Academy has
been selected by Superintendent
Eberle, and approved by the Fine Arts
Commission. to which matters of the
kind are referred and plans have been
drawn by the Bureau of Yards and
Docks of the Navy The construction
work will begin as soon as practicable
in the spring.
The expenditure OF $2,500,000 was
authorized for the construction of this
building and an auditorium. and il
was proposed to build them as one and
plans had been drawn for such a
building to be erected near the north
west seawall of the Academy between
the temporary barracks OF the Reserve
officers. This plan was not approved
by the Fine Arts Commission. which
visited the Academy recently, and it
was decided to begin work on the
building which is to contain the navi-
cation and seamanship departments
only just as soon as could be drawn.
Admiral Eberle pointed out the inn
portance of beginning this work in or
der that il might be completed by 0c-
tober /, 1919, when another Academic
year begins The number of midship-
men will be still uarger by that time,
and the first class, for which these de-
1 4 n -f V1n p-fl1 hn
will be much the largest in the his
tory of the Academy.
The new building will cost about
100000. leaving the balance to be ex-
pended for the auditorium, which is
also greatly needed In fact there is
now no building at the Academy which
will begin to accommodate all the
midshipmen, and there are many oc-
casions when the whole regiment
should be assembled. The building
will be placed to the northeast of the
present seamanshfp wing of Bancroft
Hall, and will be connected with il by
a collonade. It's front will be on the
same line. and ii will be somewhat
smaller than this wing, and like il in
shape and general style.
When the departments of seaman
ship and navigation have been moved
into the new building. the old wing
will be turned over entirely to the use
of the department of physical training,
which has been much crowded by the
increased number of midshipmen.
The space used by the gymnasium
will be almost doubled.
A bright prospect is presented to
the workers of Annapolis by the build
ing outlook at the Academy. The
great auditorium is sure to follow the
construction of the seamanship and
navigation building and the recon-
struction of the present building used
by them and the department of physi-
cal training. Those in a position to
know say that there is little doubt that
new and greatly enlarged chapel
and a special building for the post
graduate departments, will certainly
be undertaken soon after the close of
the war. These, with many minor
works, will keep things busy for many
years Then, of course, the efforts to
secure the experimental station here.
was only laid aside when the United.
States entered the war, and will be
renewed Immediately at its close.

SERVICE MEN ENJOY
HALLOWE'E PARTY
State Armory A Scene Of Fun
And Jollity Last Night. At
tractive Decorations
SOME OF THEM WIN PRIZES

Halloween was celebrated last night
at the State Armory as it never has
been before, and fun and jollity reign
ed supreme. The entertainment fur
nishedswent a long way to show that
young folk can enjoy themselves in
other ways than with dancing, which
does not furnish the exclusive source
of pleasure for the young.
The entertainment committee of the
War Camp Community Service, COM
posed of Mrs. w. ]. King, Miss Heffen-
ger, Mrs. Ssrahorn, Mrs. Walter H.
Hart, and Mrs. Carol Foster, work
ed untiringly all day yesterday TO
decorate the State Armory, which they
succeeded in doing to advantage. Corn
stalks banked the walls on all sides,
autumn leaves hid the gallery railing,
and lighted pumpkins, black cats and
witches riding brooms gave touch of
Halloween to the surroundings.
Too much credit cannot be given
Mrs. Carol Foster for her share in
the work as it was to her skill and
artistic talent that the black cats and
the witches riding brooms with a
black cat on the end of the broom ham
die, were created. Mrs Foster cut
these from card board and blackened
them, with the assistance of others on
the committee, with printers ink from
the Capital office.
At either end of the armory the
board above the cage for the basket
ball contained one of these witches
on her broom and with a background
of autumn leaves and lighted pump
kin with outlined face in the cage
where the ball usually rests, made an
effective, not to say an artistic dec
Grafton, much admired by everyone.
1t was the service mems own night,
and they were present by the hun
dreds. Soldiers were conspicuous by
their absence, but there were hum
dreds of sailors and marines, and the
incest gathering of both. They were
partially disguised with moses" and
some wore masks, while the girls
were costumed in sheets and pillow
slips and white muslin false faces.
The girls were assisted in costuming
by Miss Lillian Winslow and Mrs.
Hart.
The bag clipping contest afforded
great fun Bags of peanuts were
strung across the armory and the
men and girls provided with scissors
were blindfolded and led to the line to
clip the bags. 1t was great fun to
watch them clipping at the air, but
some clipped the strings that held the
peanuts in the bags and released the
booty"
Girls and men found their partners
through matching torn cards, which

HAS APPOINTMENT
TO NAVAL ACADEMY
Arthur c. HELEN, With Years
Service In France, Enters Will
mer And Chew's School
NEXT ACADEMY CLASS
TO CONTAIN VETERANS
Fighters On Land And Sea Will
Be Appointed BY Secretary Of
Navy And Congressman

Fighters on land and sea will be
appointed by Secretary of Navy and
Congressman.
Without a thought that his record
in the service entities him to special
consideration, and with only the de-
sire to pass his examinations for the
Naval Academy and work his way to
the commissioned ranks of the Navy,
Arthur G. HELEN, who, though he
served for a full year as a marine in
France, and participated in some of
the hottest fighting in which the
"devil-hounds of the Marine" were en-
gagged, came to Annapolis this after
noon and entered Wilmer and Chew's
School, where he will prepare for his
entrance examinations as a midship
man. He is barely eighteen years of
age, youthful in appearance and
notably modest in manner and con-
versation.
Young HELEN is from Newark, N
j., and enlisted in the Marine Corps
before he was seventeen years old. He
was with the first detachment which
went over with Gen. Pershing, and
carried the double chevron which rep
resents twice six months of foreign
service. He was an active partici
pant in the terrific fighting when Bel
leau Wood was captured. and had
most interesting and exciting exper-
fences of which he can hardly be
made to talk
The next entering class of the
Naval Academy is sure to be of unique
interest, and HELEN is the first of per-
haps a considerable number of vet
erans of the present war-on land and
sea-who will have had experience in
actual battle, generally the goal of
service career, and yet return to what
is ordinarily the very beginning, the
entering class of the Naval Academy
There are over fifty enlisted men from
the Navy and few from the Marine
Corps and Army in the present Fourth
class at the Navy, and some of the
ex-sailors had interesting experiences
on destroyers, transports and supply
boats. None, however, had active
fighting on land or heavy action on
sea.
The law permits the designation of
hundred enlisted men of the Navy
and Marine Corps for each new class

GOOD ORDER MARKS
THIS HALLOWEEN
Action Of Mayor And Council,
Backed BY Citizens, Brings
Safety And Saneness
NO PROPERTY DAMAGED

The stand of Mayor Strange and
the City Council, backed by almost
unanimous public opinion, brought
about a distinctly improved condition
last night in the observation of Hal
lowe'en. Certainly, the letter of the
law against masking was observed,
children were off the streets by 8
O'Clock, and there was an absence of
the destruction of property and the
rowdyism which have been incidents
of the occasion for many years.
During the early part of the even
ing, little ones in costume paraded
the streets, singing and joking, but
their fun was entirely harmless.
There was no interference with those
who were taking no part in the eel
ebration, and no cases of removal of
signs and gates and the like has been
reported. The official statement was
made at police headquarters this
morning, that no arrests had been
made, and that there had been no re-
port of any destruction of property.
There was an entire absence of the
part usually taken by youths and
young men, many masked and very
disorderly This, with the destruction
of property, was really the condition
which caused the authorities to take
stringent action. Probably, they would
not have gone so far in restricting the
action of the children if older persons
had not taken advantage of the let
down in the regulations to act the
part of ruffians and vandals. 1t was
this that the authorities and all right
minded citizens were determined
should stop, and a marked success was
achieved last night.

VERNON WAYSON
KILLED IN FRANCE
Anne Arundel County Soldier Makes
Supreme Sacrifice For His
Country

A telegram was received early this
morning from the War Department,
Washington, announcing the death of
Vernon Wayson, a son of Morgan Way
son, Esq. of Harwood, Anne Arundel
county, who was killed in battle in
France.
Besides his parents, the young man
who made the supreme sacrifice for
his country, is survived by a widow,
and a brother also serving in France
with the American Expeditionary
Forces.
News was also received of the
wounding of Sterling Price, son of
Harry Price, Esq, of the Eighth Dis
trict, serving overseas. His father is

ONLY FINAL GAME
WANTED AT ACADEMY
Ali Other Dates Are Filled, But
Midshiprnen Wish To Test
Team Against Best
COLLEGE TEAM WANTED

The midshipmen have completed
their schedule for the season, with the
exception of game for November 80.
They are anxious to secure as strong
a college team as possible for this
date, and probably would be willing to
close their season on Thanksgiving
Day, instead. if this would be more
satisfactory to their prospective op-
onents. If this game is secured, then
it will be felt that the season is a
rather good one after all, in spite of
the uncertainty that prevailed at the
start, and the delay in getting under
way.
There was much disappointment
that the Philadelphia Marines were
unable to keep their engagement to
play on Saturday, but it is understood
here that the reasons which impelled
the cancellation were imperative. The
local Naval contingent is out for the
undisputed service championship. and
it was felt that victory over the
Marines would do much to establish
it, or at least make it dependent upon
the outcome of the contest between
the midshipmen and the eleven of the
Great Lakes Training Station.
The wish of the midshipmen is, in
fact, to clinch the Naval champion
ship by defeating the Great Lakes
sailors here on the 23rd of November,
and then hand il to one of the biggest
college teams on the following Satur-
day in such a way that top honors will
generally be accorded to Dobie's team.
Efforts are being made to get either
Georgia Tech or Washington and JEFF
ferson to come here for the final game.
Either, it is felt, is good enough to
really test the calibre of any team in
the country.
The Naval contingent does feel that
it has a great team this year, though
it has not by any means reached its
final form. The overwhelming vic
tory over the Newport team, after the
eleven had been broken to pieces and
while it lacked nearly all of those who
