taken In The Country

Anne Arundel County's Local Draft
BOARD viii have to handle the regis
ration of selects in the area imme-
5.stelv adjoining Baltimore City which
yere taken into the city in the annex
s,son act. This is the ruling of Ad-
infant General Warfeld upon the
oroguns raised last week with the
military authorities by States Attor-
new Green, chairman of the Local
Board
Mr.. Green, and the Local Board
took the stand that, since the Brook
lyn and Curtis Bay sections of the
county have been declared by the
MARYLAND Court of Appeals to be part
OF Baltimore city. the county authori-
ties have no jurisdiction of any sort
within the area. The contention OF
the Local Board was that these men
should now be listed by Local Boards
40. % or "a. which Immediately adj
loin the annexed territory.
However, the Adjutant General has
ruled that the registration shall be
conducted just as if there had been nc
annexation act. 1t is understood that
the same ruling by General Warfield
applies to the annexed area in Bal
timore county
An estimate of the number of men
under the 1S-to-45 limit, to be author
lied by Congress and to register, prob
ably in September, may be made and
Preparations consummated on the
basis of one-third greater registration
than on June 3. 1917. 1t may be as
sumed that one and One-third times as
many persons will be liable to regis
tration as were registered in 1917
This assumption is from a national
standpoint and may not be applicable
to an individual state or a local board
within the state, but, as it is the best
basis that can at this time be offered
it is suggested that each adjutant gen.
eral and each local board make a care
lul survey and estimate on such a
basis Of the probable number of per.
sons to be registered within the juris
diction of the respective local boards.
Local boards will be required to fur.
nish cards TO the sick and to the non.
resident registrants within their re
spective jurisdiction and TO certify to
those OF the latter.
Local boards will receive registra-
uou cards, certificates and other forms
from the Adjutant General and will
distribute them among the chief regis
uars who will be responsible for them
The boards will be required to prepare
returns of the registration, and will
make lists of the persons registered

WORK ROOMS CLOSE
FOR SHORT PERIOD
Surgical Dressings Branch OF
American Red Cross Annapo-
lis and County Unit Rest
ACCOMPLISH GOOD WORK

The Surgical Dressings Branch of
the Annapolis and Anne Arundel
Chapter of the American Red Cross
work rooms have been open daily
throughout the heated term.
Six cases have been shipped TO the
supply depot in Washington. Three
cases of donated order 3A contained
4S0 spit irrigations, very large pad
closely quilted, 5000 gauze dressings
and one case of miscellaneous dress
ings, such as pneumonia jackets. oak
um and other pads for large suppurat-
ing wounds, and several kinds of mus
lin bandages, as abdominals and tri-
angulars, as well as several special
dressings, as five-yard rolls and fold
ed gauze strips This represents a
considerable special order to have
been done in less than two months
and during the hottest days of the
summer.
That these cases could be shipped
before the appointed day, August 25,
gives witness to the untiring zeal of
few faithful workers. The Naval Acad
emy Auxiliary, under its competent
instructor, Mrs. j. r. Morrison, gave
most valuable aid in both quantity and
quality of its work
The Red Cross unit of the Annapo-
lis Methodist Church and the Red
Cross Circle of Millersville. both con-
tributed to the success of the ship
ment. On account of the rigid require
ment of the American Red Cross, it
was not possible for the county auxil-
iaries to undertake surgical dressings
save with one or two exceptions
To set apart a separate building and
to equip it with the essentials for spe-
cialized work is very difficult mat
ter. Notice of the re-opening of the
surgical dressings room in the State
House will be given in these columns
in due time
