In yesterdays mail letter was re- ceived from the government again calling for spy glasses, binoculars. sextants. and chronomet- CTS. The need is imperative for these instruments as 1t Is impossible to make the lenses in this country, and the navy and scout ships are short of these eyes for the navy" The gov ernment gives each man sending these glasses one dollar for the use of them. They are carefully tagged with met al disk and returned to you if desir- ed at the end of the war. Your glasses may be the means of saving an Am erican battleship of transport. It.

GEORGE CALLIGAN WRITES
 TO VALDEZ FRIENDS

George Calligan, the Valdez miner and well known old-timer, writes to the Prospector that he Is in Tacoma, but will be home about June 1. He says: Tacoma has lovely weather. Since I arrived here the 17th of Jan uary, there has been no rain, the lawns are as green and look as fresh as spring. Occasionally I notice a rosebud, and many front yards have roses blooming in them. I am visiting by nephew and wife. F. R. Calligan, and am having the time of my life. Tacoma is having quite boom, the effects of activity in war and ship building. They are to have new steel plant here soon. Camp Lewis is so near that the soldier boys keep the streets filled and one can hardly walk on the sidewalks they are so packed with men in uniform. This is particularly true of Wednesday and Saturday afterndons, as these are the days the soldiers are given town leave at the camp. They are constantly buy ing small articles so the merchants and shows are working full blast. notice groceries and living are as high here as in Valdez. The same price for butter and eggs, as we'll as other things, while the restaurants are much higher than in Valdez. There are no houses for rent. Tacomans are Hooverizing on everything but prices. shall not return until about June 1.

BRING THE CAGE;
 THE SQUIRREL IS LOOSE

An open letter to the clergy of the nations allied against Germany.
 Great Bend, Kansas.
 Jan. IA, 1918. To the clergy of the United States and
 countries allied with her against the central powers:
 Gentlemen: I write to you to call attention to the form of treason you are engaged in and hope you will dis coltiBue it when the reasonable ra- turG Of your occupation dawns upou you. The kaiser says God is on hi side, aiding to win his battles, ard rroclaims it to his soldiers, people, Gcrmany's allies and the world, and that God will give them the final vic tory, and that he Is the divinely ap- pointed agent to conquer and rule the world As God does not deny any of these claims of the kaiser, and as all have been taught that God is all powerful, it gives confidence, courage and the will to the Germans and their allies to make any sacrifice in lives and property necessary to win the war the same as though God was a real being and the kaiser's claims were true.
 AS it is adjudged treason by the United States and her allies for any of their people to praise and be on friendly, intimate and business terms with the kaiser. it must also be treas enable to be on such terms with God, his most powerful ally.
 The fact that it has been discov- cred that the universe contains no real God does not relieve you of the reasonable nature of your profession since all the world is still ignorant of that discovery, and consequently. is greatly influenced by the kaiser's alleged will of God.
 It would be considered treason and you would be prohibited by law and punished were you to proclaim the power, wisdom and goodness of the kaiser and pray him to end the war, and 1t is a greater degree of treason and you should be prohibited and punished by law when you thus flat ter and petition God, who is the kais- CTS principal aid.
 With the above facts called to your attention, if you do not voluntarily cease your service to this alien ene- my. 1 hereby on behalf of the women and children. made widows and or phans by this war, and in the name of the Church of Humanity, petition i President Wilson to issue an execut- i've order declaring the worship of God to be treason to the United States and punishable accordingly. and l al so petition the United States congress to pass a law to prohibit forever, un. der heavy fine and imprisonment, the worship of God in the United States and it's territories.
 To be consistent the allies should no longer tolerate the worship of czar and kaiser, named God, while sacrificing so much to rid the world

CITY COUNSELLOR IS
TO GO TO CANTONMENT.
Designation Of Mr.. Rullman
Adds To The Complications
In Water Company Row.

Uncle Sam is going to take the An
napolis City Counsellor. Mr. George
Rullman has been notified by the War
Department cf his designation - at
tend the third student officers camp
at Camp Meade, when is 10 oOen
shortly. Prior to his acceptance ut
the camp, however, he must undergo
the requisite physical examination.
Should Mr.. Rullman pass the exami-
nation and enter the army after sue
cussfUlly going through the course of
training there will be placed "up to"
the City Council the question of the
election of some one to fill his muni-
cipal job. In view of the deadlock
over the question of electing a sue
cessor to Mr.. George r. Melvin as
president of the Annapolis Water
Company and the fact that Mr.. Rull-
man has been one of those voting for
Mr.. Melvin, his departure will leave
the opponents of Mr.. Melvin with
majority of one, either to elect the
Water Company director or to elect a
counsellor who would join with them
in the election of some one other than
Mr. Melvin as president Of the Water
Company. The developments in the
case will likely be so interesting that
they are TO be watched with consider
able interest.

MAYOR NOTIFIES
Mr.. c. 7. MELVIN.
City Executive Makes Public
Correspondence rendering"
Position To Him.
INJUNCTION SERVED.
Mr.. Levy, Complainant In Water
Co. Case, Will Press Issue To
The End In Test Of
Duvall Bill.

Following the service upon him in
his official capacity as Mayor yester-
day afternoon of the papers in the in
junction suit filed against him in the
Circuit Court by Alderman JOHN J.
Levy restraining him from making any
appointment as president OF the Board
of Directors OF the Annapolis Water
Company, Mayor James F. Strange
this morning made public a copy of 4
communication sent yesterday To Mr.
George T. Melvin rendering" that ap-
pointment TO him. The correspond
ence fails to show that the appoint
ment has. been made or that it has
been accepted prior to the injunction
suit, which, as told in yesterdays Eve
ming Capital, asks that the Mayor be
restrained from acting under the pro-
visions of the so-called Duvall Water
Company Bill, on the ground that the
bill is unconstitutional through con-
flict with the Referendum Amendment
to the Constitution passed in 1914.
After reciting the history of his hav-
ing in 1911 named Mr. Melvin to the
commission which took up at that
time the plan for the city's acquisition
of the water company plant, Mayor
Strange's letter of yesterday to Mr..
Melvin urges that gentleman TO accept
the position of president of the
Water Company.
The determination of Alderman
Levy as complainant in the suit to
restrain the appointment being made
under the provisions of the Water
Company Bill, is TO proceed with the
action to a finish and until the Courts
have passed upon the Constitutional
question raised.

INSTEAD OF CANNING
Woman's Civic League Planning
Intensive And Extended
Conservation Campaign.

In view of the fact that Washing
ton reports excellent harvest pros
poets for all food crops this year, the
war food bureau of the Women's
Civic League is planning to make its
most intense and extended campaign
for food conservation this summer.
Because it saves the containers
needed for canned goods, saves fuel
and storage space, drying instead of
canning is being urged by the Food
Administration and the United States
Department of Agriculture this year.
The drying process is much simpler
than the canning process and there
is much less chance of. failure in the
former.
