ANGELUS RUNG
At ST. ANNE'S
Church TODAY
Call To Prayer For People Of
The Town, For Fighters And
Workers Of The Country
APPROVED BY MAYOR
STRANGE AND OTHERS
Announcement Made Yesterday
At The Services In Church
BY Rev. E. D. Johnson

Many Annapolitans were startled
and a bit puzzled at noon today when,
Immediately after the striking of the
noon hour, the well-known tones of
the bell in st. Anne's Church rang out
as if in call to service. The ringing
was an Angelus, or call to prayer by
the people of the whole town, who de-
sire to join in this noon-day interces-
sion to God for the nation in its war
aims.
Announcement of the proposed ring
ing of the bell was made at yester-
days services in the church by the
Rev. Edwlrl ID. Johnson rector OF
the church. 1t met with almost uni
versal approval throughout the town
today, and was particularly endorsed
by Mayor James f. Strange.
In his announcement yesterday, the
suggestion was made by Mr.. Johnson
that at the noon hour all--wherever
they may be-should join for a mo-
ment in prayer for the nation and its
leaders; for those in the service on
land or sea or in the air; for the sick,
the wounded and those taken prison
err; for those who serve; for those
who have fallen, and especially for
the extension of. the Kingdom of
Christ
Asked for further comment upon
the announcement as made, the rector
replied that the custom of noon-tide
prayer has been found to be of great
and growing value in many communi-
ties, binding in spiritual purpose and
aspiration those who arc separated by
diverse church affiliations. AS an IL
lustration he referred to the following
incident:
Governor Beckett, of North Carolina,
was playing tennis the other day at
court near Raleigh. When he heard
the sound of tolling bells he raised his
hands and said: Hold on, boys, there
is the Angelus."
The game was stopped while the
players joined the Governor in silent
prayer.
In Washington the custom of two
minutes of prayer for our cause and
for our soldiers and sailors. at noon
every day, is rapidly extending in the
city of Washington under the guild
ance of various civic societies. 1t is
very interesting in one of the great
department stores at IL o'clock to
hear a great gong ring, and the great
crowd of shoppers which the war has
brought to the city even in midsum-
mer, all cease buying, and statesmen
and women and purchasers alike
pause for this sacred moment of
prayer.

U. S. Government during the world
war, is DR.. ]. Oliver Purvis, Of the
younger set of local physicians and

LESS JOY RIDING ON
SECOND GASLESS DAY
More Patriotism Displayed Yes
terday BY Non-Use Of Auto
mobiles Than Last Sunday
CAUSE FOR REJOICING

The gasoline conservation order
which discourages JOY or pleasure rid
ing on Sundays was widely observed
here yesterday. No doubt the incle-
ment weather had quite an influence
in causing people to remain at home.
When seen this morning the local
fuel administrator. Mr.. Walter III.
Hart, said: I'VE have great cause for
rejoicing over the improvement as
compared with last week. Only 81 au-
tomobiles entered the city yesterday
by West street, as against 127 last
Sunday. Only &c cars went out of the
city over the Eastport bridge as
against 3S one week ago. AZ South
River bridge and on the Boulevard
and st. Margaret's Road the number
of pleasure cars was almost exactly
half the number of last Sunday. My
co-workers succeeded in taking the IL
cense numbers of nearly every car be-
tween a. m. and 7.S0 p. m, and some
cars were taken at four different
places. The | ocal garage owners
again proved absolutely loyal and re-
fused many taxicab calls from people
who wanted to go to the stations and
other places"
Mr. Hart did not say what would be
done with the license numbers that
were obtained by his spoilers and
helpers, but no doubt they will be
listed and then sent to Washington,
and also sent to the Commissioner OF
Motor Vehicles at Baltimore. The To-
cal fuel administrator stated that in
his opinion the great majority of the
people were loyal and were agreeable
to forego their pleasure trips in order
to help the Government to conserve
gasoline, fuel oil and coal oil. But"
he said, some people who phoned to
me for permits to have their cars out
do not realize that the lives of thou
sands of our bravest boys in France
are depending upon a full and steady
supply of gasoline from America. One
man wanted to go into the country to
buy some chickens; another wanted
to go twelve miles to see mule, and
still another wanted TO go to West
River for a domestic servant and a
basket of fruit"
All doctors cars are exempt on gas
less Sundays. 1t is said that all pleas
ure cars seen upon the streets yester-
day at Baltimore had their numbers
taken by police officers, and that all
the offenders would be required to ap-
pear before the State Fuel Admins
traitor during the coming week, and he
may test their loyalty by asking them
how much they have invested in Lib
erty Bonds and to show cause why
they used their cars.

Nail Strikes Mr.. Frank B. Geraci In
Eye. May Lose Sight. Employed
At Experimental Station

Mr.. Frank B. Geraci, for many

met with painful accident a day or
two ago, while at work at the Naval
Experimental Station, opposite the

FRATERNAL ORDERS
SHOULD TAKE NOTICE
A Hint To Become Acquainted With
Service Men, Their Fraternal
Brothers

There are at this time one thousand
men at the Rife Range from the First
Replacement Regiment at Washing
ton Barracks. Among these men, as
among the large numbers who have
been coming here from time to time
for intensive training at the Rifle
Range are men who belong to the
various fraternal orders and socie-
ties extant
1t has been suggested that as these
men are strangers in this community,
and doubtless would care to visit the
Lodge Room and make the acquain-
tance of their fraternal brothers, that
each and every lodge and fraternal
order in the city, have large card
placed in the Recreation Rooms of
the War Camp Community Service in
the Bladen Street Armory, telling the
street location of their lodge or or
der, the meeting nights, hours Of
meeting, etc etc
In this way the service men who
come here from time to time may be-
come better acquainted and have the
privileges of their fraternal orders
extended them.
The idea is suggested through a
fraternal man who recently visited
the recreation rooms on an evening
wearing his fraternity pin. 1t was
recognized and he was greeted hearth
ly by many of the service men who
belong to his order.
The Capital throws out the hint
hoping it may find root in good
ground and bring forth fruit abund-
antly.

ersl TO cover information necessary
ar the granting OF occupational ex-

repistrant claiming exemption ex-
actly as Is the main QUESTIONABLE.
Regulations governing the applica-
tion OF the law have now been finally
completed adm the supplement is be-
inr framed in the light of their re-
ouirements The point chiefly dis
puted since the extension of draft
ages was proposed has borne upon
the possible classification of indus
tries. which was strongly urged by a
number Of the Government admins
trations. II was represented that GER
tain individual enterprises and some
entire industries ought to be exempt
ed entirely from the draft.
General Crowder and his staff have
held. however. that no general policy
should be adopted, and the regula-
tions to be issued shortly provide that
exemptions shall be granted only on
evidence produced in individual cases.
Boards must determine in each case
that a registrant is engaged in an oc-
cupation or industry necessary to the
war and also that the individual in
yolyed is necessary to the enterprise.

The Crown Princes Pilgrimage.
The day when Olga Loschek should
have returned to the city found her
too i'll to travel. No feigned sickness
this, but real enough, matter Of fever
and burning eyes, and Of mutterings
In troubled sleep.
Minna was alarmed. She was fond
Of her mistress, in spite Of her oc-
casional cruelties, and lately the
countess had been strangely gentle.
She required little attention, wished
to be alone, and lay in her great bed,
looking out steadily at the bleak noun
tain tops, to which spring never
climbed.
"She eats nothing" Minna said
despairingly to the caretaker. "And
her eyes brighten me. They are al
ways open, even in the night, but they
seem to see nothing"
On the day when she should have
returned, the countess reused herself
enough to send for Black Humbert,
frettfng in the kitchen below. He had
believed that she was malingering UNI
til he saw her, but her flushed and
hollow cheeks showed her condition.
"You must return and explain" she
said. II shall need more time, after
ALL"
When he hesitated. she added:
There are plenty to watch that do
not escape. I could not, If would.
T have not the strength"
IF madame wishes, can take let

She pondered over that, interlacfng
her fingers neryously as she reflected.
II will send no letter." she decided,
''but will give you a message, which
you can deliver"

"Say to the committee that have
