WAR MOTHERS MEET;
FAIL TO ORGANIZE
Annapolis Mothers Represented
At The Large Gathering In
Baltimore Yesterday
NEXT MEETING SEPT. 10TH

The War Mothers of American in
Maryland held a meeting yesterday at
the Young Women's Christian Associa-
ton, Baltimore, but it was decided to
wait until after the large convention in
Evanstown, H., in September, before
fully organizing None of the officers
have been elected, but a vast number
Of mothers, wives, sisters and a few
daughters have enrolled. A DISPOSE
ton to join was exhibited among the
aunts OF boys in the service but the
constitution of the organization makes
no provision for such relatives, and
il is problematical if they will be con-
sidered as members.
The purposes of organization were
explained and every woman who at
tended was urged to affiliate and
spread the propaganda of the organi-
zation among those of her friends who
have relatives in the service of the
government. 1t is believed that
through organization the women of
America can accomplish more for the
welfare of men in the service than if
their efforts were dissipated through
individual channels.
1t was also decided to send Mrs H.
G. Skinner and Mrs. NJ c. Talbot,
both of Baltimore, to represent Mary
land Mothers at the convention in uli-
nois. Although there were represen-
tatiyes from the 1I7th Trench Mortar
Battery, Welfare League of Battery f,
Daughters of 1912, Daughters of the
American Revolution and many other
organizations il was decided that all
individual units be forgotten in the
present work and that the women rep
resent merely War Mothers.
Annapolis was represented by Mrs.
Robert Moss. wife of Judge Moss, who
took a list of some one hundred names
secured through The Capital for mem
bership in the War Mothers of Amer
lea.
Mrs. Moss stated upon her return
that Annapolis was the only city out
side of Baltimore represented, and
that the Baltimore women were pleas
ed that this city had manifested so
much interest in the new organiza-
ton.
Another large meeting of the Mary
land mothers will be held the second
Tuesday in September at IL o'clock in
the auditorium of the Young Wom
ems Christian Association, when it is
hoped more Annapolis War Mothers
will be represented.

miles below Annapolis, just off the
Southern Maryland Boulevard, recent
ly had the time of their lives, when a
motor-train of soldiers from Camp
Holabird, under the command of Cap
tain Gibbony, paid them a visit.
The trip was one of practical in
struction for officers, and the lads at
the camp did everything in their power
to make it one for them, too. The cars
were parked in the Camp Conoy
grounds, and as soon as the men had
freshened themselves up a bit, they
had mess. The lads pumped water for
them by the gallon and took lively
part in the preparations for the water
melon feast that was spread after the
days work was over
Camp Conoy has been well attend
ed since its opening and it is expected
that the crowds will increase during

WIRE LINES TO
CHANGE HANDS
BEFORE MORNING
Telephone And Telegraph Com
panies To Go Under Govern
ment Control At Midnight
NO LOCAL CHANGES
ARE CONTEMPLATED
Annapolis Managers Have Re
ceived No Word But Probably
VIII Sometime Tomorrow

Apparently the transfer of the tele-
phone and telegraph lines OF the couR-
try lO government control as a war
time measure is not going to make any
marked changes in administrative con-
drious In Annapolis. While the Post
once Department Is TO assume control
OF these lines Of public communication
at midnight. no order or indications
OF changes have been received by the
representatives. OF the c. and p. Tele-
phone Company, the Western Union or
The Postal Telegraph Companies in
Annapolis. However, it is understood
that the complete details are still be-
ng worked out between government
and company heads.
The dispatches from Washington to-
day are to the effect that Postmaster
General Burleson has his plans for
taking over the control of the com
panies well worked out, however.
HIS first official action i'm this di-
rection will be the issuance of a gen
eral order, assuming control and con-
tiuung the present management of
the telephone and telegraph companies
until the Post Office Department sets
up its operating machinery. This gen
eral order will be put out some time
tomorrow.
There will be no changes of any
kind for the time being, and no cere-
mony will mark the transfer. All
officials and employees will continue in
their present jobs, but will change
from employees of private corpora
tions TO government employees. While
President Vail, of the American Bell
Telephone system: President Carlton,
OF the Western Union, and President
Mackey, of the Postal Company, will
continue, they will be subject TO the
orders OF Postmaster-Genera Burle-
son.
There is one man in Washington,
however, who will burn the midnight
oil tonight, so that he can be the first
man to talk over a government con
trolled telephone. He is former Con-
gressman David ]. Lewis, of Maryland,
Director OF Operations of the Federal
Control Wires. who is more RESPONSE
bic than any other man for the turn in
events which has led to government
control and who may be regarded as
one OF the modern pioneers in this
movement. IL was the Marylander
who, in conjunction with John c.
koOns. First Assistant Postmaster
General and Director of Organization
Of the Wire Lines. made the investi-
cation which commanded the attention
Of the nation for government owner

NO DUMPING PLACE
IN ANNE ARUNDEL

The Board of Estimates of Balti-
more City having harbor jurisdiction,
yesterday discussed an application by
the Maryland Dredging and Contract
ing Company for permission to estab-
lish a dumping ground between Rock
and Stony Creeks, in upper Anne
Arundel county. A letter from Act
ing Harbor Engineer Varney was read
which stated that the dumping of the
soft material into the entrance of the
channels of these creeks would seri.
ously affect navigation. The board
acting on these grounds refused the
desired authorization. 1t was sug-
gested that the company might even
tually be compelled by the city to re-
move the material already dumped in
to the channels
