ENGINEER UNIT AT
SAUNDERS RANGE.
Battalion Of Twenty-third Is
Composed Of Men From All
Parts Of Country.

The Fourth Battalion of the TWEEN
Naval Rife Range receiving instruc-
tions in workmanship. The Naval
Rife Range was formerly Saunders
Range at Glen Burnie, but was taken
over by the Navy Department last
fall and is now being used by both
the navy and army.
The Fourth Battalion of the regi-
ment is composed of Companies X,
L and NJ. Truck Companies S and 10,
and Wagon Company ;. and is said to
be one of the finest bodies of men in
the United States Army, the average
height OF its personnel being six feet
The regiment is a regular army unit,
but it has been recruited to several
times its peace strength since the be-
ginning of the war. Its men come from
Alaska to the Panama Canal Zone and
from the Pacific, and they represent
almost every walk of life. including
lawyers, physicians and preachers.
Many of the men come from the
lumber regions of the West, and need
no training in the use Of firearms, but
those who were not so proficient are
learning fast under their $50 navy in
structorS, and a number of 80 out of
a possible 100 scores have been made
on the range. incidentally, there are
a number of good ball players in the
Fourth Battalion, and some exciting
ball games are played at the range.
The $50 men in the battalion and
the $50 bluejackets were entertained
at Glenburnie Hall Wednesday night
by the women of Warfield Methodist
Protestant Church. A dairy lunch and
an oyster supper were served.

The General Assembly Has Reached

With The Exception OF Three Or

To the Editor of The Capital:
The General Assembly has reached
the historical state over the Annexa-
ton Bill, and the one question in view
this week is the fate of that measure
which Will probably be settled before
this letter is in print. The advocates
of the bill, led by Mayor Preston and
the Baltimore newspapers, are en-
gagged in soaring it through the Sen
ate, while the opponents of the
scheme. without effective leadership
on the outside, are fioundering around,
in an apparently hopeless state as TO
what should be done. Everything else
is in the background, no systematic
projects of the Mayor of Baltimore
have been settled. The Budget, con-
tanning all the appropriations, the tax
levy, the racing bills, the road bills,
and. in fact, everything affecting the
State of Maryland and its people, are
sidetracked, while this one matter is
being fought over. Whatever way it
may be settled, it is the wish and hope
of everybody, that it may be settled
for a long time to come and not arise
every two years to plague and disor-
ganize both political parties, and de-
moraliZe the General Assembly for the
greater part OF every session.
As predicted in these columns in the
early part of the session, State Treas
urer William Z. Jackson is now open
ly in the field as a republican candi-
date for the nomination for Governor.

Ludendorif is developing greater and
