uary Is, with all members present.
Minutes of meetings of January
and were read and approved.
Upon motion of Mr.. Valiant, the
following resolution was adopted:
whereas, the Board of Assessment
of Sussex County did notify, in writ
ing, on or about November 1, 1917,
practically all OF the taxables in Sus-
sex County to deliver to said Board
of Assessment within thirty days af-
ter such notice a particular account
OF the improvements to Real Estate,
and all taxable personal property
owned by said taxables, all of which
was on a form or schedule for max
ing of proper returns, and
Whereas, the law provides that fail
ing to render or deliver such account
within ten days after the time limited
for the making of such return shall
be a misdemeanOr, and upon convic-
ton such person shall be fined or inn
prisoned or both, and
Whereas. the failure to prosecute
those taxables who fail or refuse to
make return of schedule without
reasonable excuse for so doing would
in the opinion of the Levy Court
eventually be a great detriment to
the Board of Assessment, on account
of said Board not having the requir-
ed information to make a fair, just
and complete assessment, and
Whereas, the law further provides
that the said Board of Assessment
shall have the power and authority to
stay prosecution for any violation Of
said failure to make said return, up
on the making and filing of proper !
return and the payment Of sum OF
money for the use of the county by !
the person liable to be fixed by the /

Acting Mayor Edward c. Graham, of
Arundel-on-the-Bay, called a special
meeting of the Commissioners of the

The feature of the meeting was the

trespass on the premises of the bay
side colony, which is an incorporated
township.
The bailiff and deputy sheriff Elijah
Wells has been notified 10 make ar
rests in case of violation of this ordi-
ance. and the offenders will be punish
ed to the full extent OF the law.
There are no public bathing houses
where people may dress for bathing
and hitherto bathing parties. regard
less of sex have been using their au-
tomobiles for this purpose, to the Of
fense and annoyance of the summer
residents at the place. There are also
no public picnic grounds and private
lawns have been used unfortunately
to the annoyance of the owners. While
tne 0OulullSslOneFS INVITE NisltOIS "
the place, they felt obliged to pass
this ordinance TO protect the property
owners, and for the safety and discre-
tion of parties of girls and boys who
came to battle using automobiles for
dressing rooms.
The Commissioners also decided to
hold their annual election according
to their charter the last Saturday in
July-the 27th-in the Civic League
Hall.
During the illness of Mayor Thomas
w. Smith, Mr. E. c. Graham is acting
Mayor At the coming election there
are two Commissioners TO be elected,
one to fill the vacancy caused by the
death of Mr. Shea last fall.

vote by virtue of the right of being
property owners, this franchise being
granted with the towns charter.
Arundel is the only town in Anne
Arundel County where women vote.

WILLING WOMEN
WORKERS WANTED
An Earnest Appeal For Women And
Girls To Work On Surgical
Dressings For Red Cross

Every Annapolis woman is asked to
harken to the earnest appeal of Mrs.
John Taggard Blodgett, chairman of
the Surgical Dressings Committee of
the Red Cross, who sends out a call
for willing women workers that are
badly needed, and needed at once.
There are thirteen teachers at the
rooms in the lower part of the State
House, Maryland avenue entrance,
ready to give instruction to all women
and girls willing to learn to make
these much-needed surgical dressings.
The work is important and impera-
tive. There are 6,S40 articles that
must be completed in six weeks, and
not the workers to do the work. The
room assigned the surgical dressings
is cool and has every comfort. The
work is clean and pleasant and the
need is a crying one.
1t is part of the patriotism OF the
Annapolis women to take up this work,
and no patriotic woman can afford at
this time to turn deaf ear to this
appeal

ANNEXATION IS
TO Be ARGUED
City And Counties To Present
Sides Before The Maryland
Court Of Appeals
ONE ANNE ARUNDEL CASE

The several cases involving the
during the last session of the Legis-
lature are to be argued before
the Maryland Court of Appeals here
tomorrow. There are number of
cases from the Circuit Court for
Baltimore County and one case from
the Anne Arundel County Court. In
all of the cases the lower courts have
declared the annexation law invalid
and appeals from these rulings were
taken by the Mayor and City Council
of Baltimore seeking to have the APP
pelate Court reverse the lower tribu-
nails decisions. To get the cases out
of the way and either knock the law
out or sustain it definitely, the Court
of Appeals is to sit in special session
tomorrow
The city's brief in the case is virtu-
ally book, covering as it does 100
pages. 1t was prepared by City Solici-
tor Field with the aid of ex-Chief
Judge Harlan of the Supreme Bench
of Baltimore City; Benjamin A. Rich
mond, of Cumberland, and w. Calvin
Chestnut.
Mr.. Richmond will join City Solici-
tor Field and Henry H. Dinneen in
arguing the case when it is tried by
the Court of Appeals
Four cases attacking the validity
of the Annexation Act passed at the
last session of the Legislature have
been filed in Baltimore County
Judges McLane and Duncan each gave
opinions in separate cases declaring
the law unconstitutional and giving as
reason that no referendum to the
people living in the territory annexed
to the city had been provided.
One case was filed in Anne Arundel
County. Judge Moss also said the act
was unconstitutional. He stated that
Anne Arundel was not contiguous to
Baltimore City and the city had no
right to annex land that did not ad-
join it, thereby placing the Anne Arun-
del case in class somewhat different
from the Baltimore County cases.

WORK BEGUN ON
MEADE ADDITION
Plans VIII Increase Anne Arundel
County Cantonment's capacity
BY One Third

Work on the enlargement of the
Maryland cantonment. as provided in
the contract awarded Smith, Hauser
and MacIsaac by the Federal authori-
ties few days ago. was started yes
terday in spit of the fact that it was
Sunday. This beginning consisted of
the laying out of tracts for construc-
ton purposes and of the construction
of temporary office buildings. No time
for the completion of the work has
been specified by the authorities but
it will be pushed to an early compile
tion An addition about one-third the
size of the camp as it stands today will
be added.
The enlargement will provide room
for the establishment of training
camp for the Signal Corps. This will
be one of the first camps established
for the training of men in this par
ticuIar branch of the service. Most
of the new construction work will be
in the lower end of the reservation in
the vicinity Of Kelly's Crossing aQd
Odenton.
When the work is completed the
big wooden city of Maryland will be
one of the biggest training grounds
for the American Army in this coun-
try.
Facilities will then be provided for
the housing of approximately $4,000
men AT present there are more than
10000 at the camp from six States.
Most of the men are sons of the Key
stone State. However, it is probable
that the base hospital will also be en-
larged This has been under discus
sion for some months, but il is said
that no definite conclusion has been
reached.

val Academy. yesterday saved the life
of Alice Cooper, Is years old, daugh-
ter of James Cooper, of Relay.

Just as Lieut.. Carey's automobile ap-
preached the girl jumped from the
car and started TO run across the road.
She was struck and knocked down
by Lieut. Carey's machine, but he
guided the car in such way as. to
keep the wheels from passing over the
child. An examination by DR.. Thomas
H. Brayshaw showed that her collar
bone was broken and she was bruised
on the body. Lieut.. Carey took the
girl TO the home of her grandfather,

LIEUT.. WARE DINED;;
FIRED FIRST SHOT
Naval Officer Is Guest OF Honor
At Dinner Given In New
York BY Yale Club
COMMANDED MONGOLIA

Lieut. Commander Bruce Z. Ware, u.
S. N, who commanded the gun crew
on the Mongolia that on April 10, 1917,
fired the first American shot in the
war, was the honor guest at a dinner
given Friday night in New York by
the officers of the American Defense
Society of the Aale Club
The affair is of especial interest to
Marylanders. as Lieutenant Ware
married Miss Mamie Norris, daugh
ter of DIR. and Mrs. Newton Norris. of
year ago. when Lieutenant Ware re-
turned home after his memorable ex-
parience on the Mongolia, residents OF
Whitehall and surrounding towns
turned ont in hundreds TO honor the
husband of the Whitehall girl. Since
that time residents of the town, as
well as persons throughout the state,
have justly been proud of the coveted
glory won by an adopted Marylander.
The first medal to be awarded by the
Defense Society for distinguished
service to the nation was pinned
upon him by John Stone. chairman of
the medal committee.
DIR. Lee DeForest, donor of the
medal said at the Defense Society's
reception in honor of the Maryland Of
ficer, that he had ii on the honor of
Commander Ware that Germanw now
is turning out II submarines month
and the Allies are sinking them at the
rate of IA month.
Lieutenant Ware, in expressing ap-
probation of the honor, said he be-
lieved the U-boat menace is passing
He had conveyed more than 100000
troops to France without the loss of
one man. On every ship So naval
lookouts are on duty night and day
and at least on one occasion have
given warning that saved ship from
destruction by torpedo.
"We have been putting the fear of
gun fire and depth bombs into the
hearts of the enemy" Commander
Ware said, $50 much so that Ger.
man admiral had to make an apology
not long ago for the successful arrival
Of our troops in France. In the year
that we have been in this war only two
SnlpS nave Deen SUNK anu lHOSe were
on their way home and empty.
There are going to be more trans
ports sunk We have to count on
that But we are prepared. Our
men are always stationed on the look
out Our ships boats are watertight.
We are on the jump to save every
man il we are struck The boats fall
promptly at the command to clear
and they are always ready for bust
ness"
Lieutenant Ware then said he had
trained 600 naval lookouts, and that
the men have been doing exceptional
service. He described an encounter
with a submarine during the passage
of transport. The crew and the men
aboard looked only at the enemy boat,
he said, but the lookouts. whose duty
is to watch the water in all directions,
saw the path of the torpedo and gave
the signal that swerved the ship from
its course The torpedo passed harm
lessly Is yards from the bow.
Judge j. X. Tiffany, of Hoboken,
and Robert Appleton, treasurer of the
defense society, were the other speak,
