ANNAPOLIS GUARDSMEN
MAY BE FEDERALIZED.
Rumor Has 1t That The u. S.
Government Is Wanting To
Take Over State Guard.

Annapolis members of Company M,
Second Infantry, Maryland State
Guard, are keenly stirred up over
their alleged chance to get into the
Federal service. According to rumors
in State military circles, the State
Guard, of which the local company is
a part, may become a national organi-
Zation.
This contemplated move will make
all present members of the guard
unit liable to military service any
where in the United States.
An inquiry was received about three
weeks ago by Adjutant General War
field from the War Department as to
whether Maryland would wish to make
her State Guard a part of the National
Guard organization. General War
field put the matter in the hands OF
Colonel Clinton l.. Riggs, commander
of the State Guard who, in keeping
with the sentiments of his subordinate
officers, was delighted with the idea.

COLLEGE DANCE
A FAREWELL BALL.
Senior Class At St. Johns Col
lege To Leave Before Their ~
Graduation.

Last nights hop by the Cotillon
last. save one, of the regular series
of dances to be given before the com
mencement, and it took the form of a
Farewell Ball" to the Class of 1918,
which leaves today and will probably
not be back for commencement
The college gymnasium was hand
somely decorated with vari-colOred
flags and the shaded lights gave a mel
low effect. Music was furnished by
an orchestra from the Naval Academy
appropriate souvenirs of the occasion.
On the cover was embossed the flags
of all the Allies, in colors, and the St
Johns seal in orange and gold
A feature of the decorations was
the handsome service flag with its 800
stars for those of St Johns who are
i'm the service of their country.
Prof j. b. Rippere and Mrs. Rip
pere received. There were many
pretty girls from Annapolis and near
by cities present and the dainty cos
tunes formed a suitable setting with
the full dress uniform OF the St Johns
cadets as a background. The hop
was a delightful social event at col
lege, yet was mingled with a touch of
sadness, as farewells were said to
those who are about TO leave for the
training camp and active service.

Subscriptions Should Be Brought
To The Evening Capital
Office. Small Sums Are
Needed, Too.
HOSPITAL SUBSCRIPTIONS.

The plan advanced on Thursday by
Mr. William NJ. Holiday in an inter
view sought by The Capital, for the
acquisition of the lot of ground adj
joining the grouds of the Emergency
Hospital to take care of the necessary
future growth of the institution, con-
tinues to meet with general favor.
Today there was added another 500
subscription and a subscription of SO,
along with strong Endorsement of the
plan by one of the most progressive
of the public spirited women of
Annapolis.
Mrs. Robert Moss, wife of Judge
Moss, of the local Circuit Court, in
announcing her contribution of 500
gave hearty Endorsement to the plan,
which will from now on be backed
energetically. Mr.. Dennis Thompson
was the other contributor
1t has been determined that while
Mr. Eugene w. Iglehart, Vice-Presi-
dent of The Capital Publishing Com
pany, will act as treasurer of the fund
being raised to take up the option
on the SeidewitZ property, the collec-
tions will be received at The Evening
Capital Business office. 1t will make
no difference how small the contribu-
tion may be the spirit back Of it will
make ii a welcome addition to the
needed fund. Just how important
comparatively small contributions are
in a popular subscription has recent
ly been startlingly demonstrated
throughout the country when literally
millions of dollars were subscribed to
the third Liberty Loan in the Match
The President campaign for fifty
dollar bonds on the installment pay
ment plan. SO that the quarter, half
dollar, one dollar, five and ten dollar
subscriptions will all help put the pur-
! chase of the hospital grounds "over
the top"
1T is most gratifying to read in a
recent issue of your paper that there
is an opportunity for our local hos
pital to acquire all of the property
adjacent to it if only those who have
benefited by it's ministrations and who
appreciate it's value will avail them
selves of the privilege of contributing
promptly to a fund which has just
been started" said Mrs. Moss in an
nouncing her contribution of 800.
/ She continued: II do not know
anything of the play which was given
at the Colonial on Thursday being
called When Dreams Come True,
! but in putting this opportunity for the
/ growth of the Emergency Hospital
within the feach of the town anC
county in his article and by his con
/ tribution set forth in The Capital oi
! the same date, Mr.. Holiday has giver
hope to many of us who have cher
/ ished it. that this one of our dreams
will surely come true, and / wish tC
follow his example and to match his
/ check for this compelling need"

SOMETHING NEW IN
CLASS CREST DESIGN

Departing in material way from the
long accepted type of ornamentation,
the members OF the Plebe Class at the
Naval Academy have, through a man
aging committee. selected a class
crest. The crest is something of an
innovation as far as crests of recent
classes go. In place of the design be-
ing made up, as usual, of guns, tor
pedoes, anchors, propellers, etc, the
center of the pin shows a full rigged
ship, bounded by crossed swords and
an old-fashioned anchor. The crest
was chosen by popular approval.
