That the ship may have communi-

Commander John Downes, aide to
Rear Admiral Edward " Eberle, SUI

asked IL such was the case, and he
replied that the auehorities at the To-

official or otherwise, OF the presence
Of o battleship in the upper bay. Even
il the Academy officials were called
on for such assistance they would be
powerless to render it, as there are
no heavy towing vessels at the sta

and there has been no movement OF

Anne Arundel County will have
nearly $4,000 to expend on the bar

sections of the county. This is shown
in the receipts Of the County Commits
sioners, DIR. George Wells having
turned over a total Of 1890. the
amount representing fees collected for
hunters licenses.
The funds arc expended in this
manner under the provisions OF an
Act of the Legislature passed two
years ago. Last year dozens Of
Dheasants Of the Mexican type we're

the county allows for it, forms the
salient feature Of the report, and

ALIENS GET NO
FhVORS ON STATE
BOARDS IN FUTURE

Alien enemies will get no favors from
thestat board of control or the STATE
plant board, and a letter setting fortt
the attitude of the boards named has
+; been issued by the secretary, Bryan
Mack, which addressed to the editors
of the state Of Florida, reads as fol
lows:
| At the meeting OF the board Of con
/ troll and the state plant board in Gaines
vile, l was requested by the boards te
write letter to the editors Of Florida
newspapers, telling them of the boards
attitude toward alien enemies, for your
readers will no doubt be glad to know
that there is no place in either of the
four institutions who is not loyal to
the flag.
The board of control members take
the position that too much caution
cannot be exercises in perilous times
like we are now experiencing, and
while they regretted very much to
eliminate from the educational insti-
buttons and the plant board persons
whose naturalization has not yet been
completed, as was the case in several
instances, yet they felt to have retained
these apparently loyal aliens would
have been unwise.
Several cases Of disloyalty were re-
ported to the boards and thorough in
vestigations have been made with the
assistance of the federal authorities.
and where there was a possibility OF
the person being disloyal to America,
the boards arranged to dispense with
their services.
There are no more loyal persons in
America than the faculty and students
of the Florida institutions OF higher
learning. The university has given up
many students to enter the various
branches of the service. The students
OF the Florida state college for women
have contributed handsomely to the
Red Cross, Y. NJ. C. A. and other war
activities. They have purchased Liberty
bonds and thrift stamps. The negro col
lege has given up many students, and
others will go very soon. The Red
Cross work among the students has
also been Systematically carried out.
At the school for the deaf and blind,
Dr. Walker thinks he has the most
patriotic student body in the world.
Nearly a hundred of the plant board
employees have entered the army and
navy since war was declared, and
among the patriotic employees remain
ing there is not room for an alien
enemy.
Will you not. therefore. tell your
readers that the board of control and
state plant board is seeing to it that
4 high standard of Americanism is bel
ing maintained in the institutions en-
trusted to their care?
Yours very truly,
BRYAN MACK,
Secretary Board of Control.

GRACEVILLE.

Graceville, Fla, May 7.-One Of the
largest crowds ever gathered at the
auditorium Friday night witnessed the
presentation of a minstrel performance
as presented by the Red Cross society.
There were eighteen ladies of the local
chapter of the Red Cross who were the
entertainers for the evening.
Under the able leadership of Mrs. w.
C. Box, who has ever been most loyal
in her efforts for the Red Cross, this
performance won the approval and adj
miration of the entire audience. Much
credit is due to these good ladies who
labored so hard in this good cause.
The net proceeds of the evening
amounted to approximately 500.
The Liberty bond workers closed
their campaign Saturday night with
total of si5,i00 for Graceville. This
amount is over the top by s4,t00.
Crops of all kinds doing fine. Water
melons will be short this year, as the
acreage was cut down considerably.
Irish potatoes for the market will be-
gin to move about May Goth.

There are many angles to this prop

view of new crop progress appeared
the dominating factor In the cotton
market again today. The opening was
irregular at an advance OF II points
on May but generally II to 26 points
lower, and May quickly eased off with
the rest of the list. Wall street and
Liverpool selling was the feature but
there was also selling by people with
Japanese connections on the break to
24s5 for July and 24.34 for October,
or about 40 to Al points lower on the
more active positions. The decline
was checked at this level by covering
and there were rallies of several
points before the end of the first hour.
Trading was quiet later in the
morning. Rallies of % or 80 points
were not fully maintained. but the
tone was steady owing to the bullish
average of Southern spot advices.
July ruled around 24.90 and October
24.32 atmidday, or about 35 to 80
points net lower.
No fresh feature developed during
the early afternoon and the market
continued quiet with fluctuations COM
paratively narrow and irregular. The
under tone, however, was fairly steady
in keeping with the spot news, prices
holding around $500 for July and 2447
