netaiIs are lacking, but it is presumed
hat Young Carr made the supreme
,scrifce during the fighting along the
uepse at some period Of the twenty
.pe DAYS prior to October 2S, during
wbeh the I15th Infantry was in the
advanced line.
Young Carr was among the patriotic
,ouths the flower of the community,
xbo enlisted in one or the other of the
ANNAPOLIS organizations after the
limited States entered the war. He
was barely eighteen when he enlisted,
but felt that he could not fail to give
his services to his country as prompt
" as anyone. Sprung from line of
worthy ancestors, many of whom
served the nation in different branches
or the service, he felt that he must do
ais part 10 ut "ptthg VI ehSAht ohN NiN
his duty so well that he promptly won
promotion in spite of his youth.
Not only was young Carr good
soldier. but in his clean, high-prin-
sipled life, he was an example to his
companions. His disposition was
bright and cheerful. and there was
never a thought in his mind of any
thing but the most cheerful obedience
TO orders and helpfulness towards his
companions
An older brother. Revell Carr, has
been wounded so that the sacrifices
made by these parents to the cause of
their country and humanity, has been,
indeed. a great one.
This is the first death in action of
local boy to be reported, but relatives
here are getting unofficial informa
ton Of the wounding of a number.

TON|GHT'S SHOW At
COLONIAL THEATRE
To Feature "The Land OF Hearts
Desire, Based On Celtic
Mythology
THE IRISH PLAYER S

THE Land of Hearts Desire, which
is to be given by the Wonder Work
ers, under the direction of Mrs. De-
Witt c. Redgraye, is well known
play by William Butler Yeats. Ii is
based on Celtic mythology, which its
author has been very active in ex-
plotting in a literary way, and which
everybody knows to be full of imag-
ination, tenderness, and beauty.
Yeats is primarily poet, but he is
perhaps best known as the leader of
the movement in Ireland for nation
al dramatic organization. This move
ment resulted in the formation of the
Irish Players" a company OF actors
that first achieved success in Dublin,
then toured England. and has made
two trips to the United States
This company developed technique
of its own, and it showed great skill
and ingenuity in matters of scenery
and setting. 1t also produced some
dramatists of notable power. among
whom the late j. NJ. Synge stands pre-
eminent. Synge incurred the hostil-
ity of some of his counrtymen be-
cause of the biting character of his
satire, but those Irish who possess
sense of humor, and practically all
dramatic critics throughout the Eng
glish speaking world. acknowledge
Synge to be one of the most powerful
dramatists of his age. His method was
more realistic than that of Yeats,
whose fondness for symbolism and
poetry will be displayed in THE Lands
of Hearts Desire"

War Cuts Ford
Production in Half
Daily Output of Ford Factory Cut
from 5000 to 1900 Cars to Allow
Manufacture of Liberty Motors.

Detroit, Feb. %. - Reports that the
Ford Motor Co. will abandon the manu-
facture of passenger cars, are denied
by factory officials. The Ford plant
will be devoted largely to war work
on airplane and submarine destroyer
parts, with the result that passenger
car production will be cut about fifty
per cent. At the present time the nor
NAL output of the factory is about 5000
a day, and with a reduction of fifty
per cent this will bring the output to
1900 day. The Ford company is be-
hind orders in practically all sections
of the country on passenger cars, and
the resulting cut in production from
the war work naturally will cause a
soon as the available supply in cypp
countrywide shortage of Fords as
soon as the available supply in branch
plants have been used up.
Ford dealers have been urging their
patrons to place their orders early to
take care Of the demand which, they
realized would exceed the supply if
the curtailment came, and the scarcity
of Ford cars already has begun to be
quite apparent.
Ford is to be the largest single pro-
Queer of Liberty airplane engines. AL
though the company has been making
cylinders only, under the new program
complete engines will be made. Ford
has so perfected the processes of MAX
ing cylinders that saving of from 40
to SO per cent in their cost is possible
The Ford company is given 25 per cent
of this saving by the contract with the
government, while the rest goes to the
government. 1t is understood Ford
will commence the production of COM
plete engines this month.
