Two hundred thousand recruits for
the navy will be needed in the coming
year mainly TO man merchant ships
in government service, Secretary DAN
iels has informed the House Naval
Committee, in favoring passage of
bill for the purchase of $40 acres of
land for enlargement of the Hamp-

This increase would bring the naval
personnel to more than 100000 men,
compared with $4,000 at the begin
ming of the war.
The additional land at Hampton
Roads is now under lease to the gov
eminent, and the navy hopes TO dou-
BILE the facilities there so as to train
$4,000 recruits at one time. Repre-
sentative Padgett, chairman of the
Naval Committee, announced that the
bill for the purchase would be favor
ably reported and also one for ac-

CHURCH FUND FOR
RETIRED MINISTERS

Bishop W. F. Mcdowell, Washing
ton, speaking recently in behalf of the
Retired Minister'S pension fund for
100000 in the Baltimore Conference,
of which Annapolis is part, said:
"A little while ago l thought this
fund was chiefly for the benefit of the
Retired Ministers and their widows.
AS the campaign has gone on it must
have become perfectly clear that the
great benefit is to the church. First,
if wet get the kind of fund we ought to
have, we can be more careful as to the
kind of men, we take into our church.
Second, if we have an adequate PEN
tive service, we can be a good deal
more insistent in putting the ques-
lions. Are you resolved to devote
yourselves wholly to the work of God,
and devote all your time to it?"
Third, if we have an adequate pension
at the end of effective service, we can
prolong the years of effective service
and prevent the all too early retire
ment from active service of men who
have many years of goodly service in
them. So that this fund is not chiefly
for the Veterans, but chiefly it is a
benefit to the whole church. Just be-
cause that, and because it is the finest
thing in the world to belong to a
church that is not afraid to face a big
idea, or lay hold upon big burden, or
a big enterprise. And so l have
wanted, before we take our tasks up
in our hands and look at them, we
shall think of them in the light of
their relation to, the kingdom of Jesus
Christ in the world

HEBREW CONGREGATION
TO HAVE SYNAGOGUE

For some time the local Hebrew
congregation has been negotiating
with the authorities of st. Anne's
Church for the purchase of st. Anne's
Chapel. East and Prince George street,
for a Hebrew Synagogue. The deal
has not been consummated. it is I'M
derstood, owing to a disagreement
about the lot and alley in the rear on
East street. adjoining the Water Witch
Hook and Ladder Company's property.
The lot on which the Chapel stands
was given to st. Anne's by the late
Thomas T.. Martin, at one time
Mayor of Annapolis, the father of
Mrs. Edward Robb, whose old colon
ial home was the Brice-Jennings
house. opposite, now owned by Carvel
Hall.
The ground was a part of the Mar
tin property when presented to st.
Anne's to build Chapel thereon.

ST. JOHNS WANTS
Y. M. c. A. WORKER

st. Johns college is on the lookout

work at the local college.
There are now over three hundred
students enrolled at st. Johns in
GLIDING those of the Student Army
Training Corps, and it becomes nee
essary for some one man to direct
the work of the Y Nj. c. A.

the right man, and President Fell is
on the lookout for him The name
of Mr.. G. L. Mitchell, who so success
fully conducted the work here at the
State Armory, and has recently been
invalided home from overseas, has
been mentioned for the position.
Could the college secure his services,
and could Mr.. Mitchell be prevailed
upon to come here, he would, I'M
questionably be the right man in the
right Mace
