AMERICAN SHIPS WILL
RETURN OWN MEN HOME
Navy Department To Play Big Part In
Huge Task Of Returning Sol
diers From France

While the British navy conveyed the
greater number of the United States
troops overseas. it will be America
own navy that will bring them back
home, fourteen battleships, ten armor-
ed cruisers and forty-four transports
having been assigned to this service.
With this formidable array of ships
the navy department expects to play
prominent part in bringing home
from France the American expedition
airy forces.
The battleships will carry on the
average 1000 soldiers and the cruis-
ers 1900. in addition to their crews. it
was learned last night at the Office of
the Cruiser and Transport Service
in New York. while the troop ships
will be utilized largely to convey the
sick and wounded.
Nearly all the navy transports, il
was stated. have been equipped with
large sick bays, and from now on they
will accommodate practically the en-
tire westward flow of soldiers incapa-
citated by wounds, injuries or illness,
leaving TO the transformed warships
and to the army transport department
the returning of well troops.
The cruiser North Carolina. first of
the warships to be equipped as a tenn
porary transport, already is on the
way TO Brest to pick up 100 officers
and 1000 men assigned to demobiliza-
ton camps.
Work on the erection of hunks is
nearly completed in the other war
ships designated for this duty, and
most of them. it was stated, will sail

BRITISH NAVAL EXPERT
PRAISES AMERICAN NAVY
Says American Naval Aid Came At
Moment England Most
Needed III

While the British navy was paid
such glowing tributes at the Britain
day meeting at the state house, it is
opportune to tell few things the
British think of the United States
navy.
A dispatch from London under date
of December Is, says:
Archibald S. Hurd, the naval au-
thority, pays a glowing tribute to the
admirable seamanship of the Ameri-
can sailors in the course of an ar
ticle written for the Daily Telegraph,
in which he discloses details of the re.
markable part the American navy took
in operations in European waters. He
says the service of the Americans
points TO a survival of the sea instinct
in America. Continuing. he says:
Ask any British naval officer what
he thinks of the aid given by Amer
lean seamen and you will learn that
1t came just at a moment when the
British crews, after winter of siren
uous and exhausting work, were feel
ing the strain. Incidentally, the arrival
of the Americans permitted the or
ganization of the convoy system as it
could not otherwise have been organ
lied. Everybody knows the influence
this system had on the safety of the
Allied sea communications. Any ref
erence to the work of American sea-
men would be incomplete without mem
ton of the skill and courage they ex-
hibited in laying the great mine fields
in the North Sea-
Referring to the remarkable man
ner in which the Americans overcame
problems Of training and construc-
ton, the writer concludes by saying:
THE Americans hustled to some
purpose to develop the United States
navy to meet the demands of this
war"

INDECENT INSANE IS
PERPLEXING PROBLEM
Institutions Are Now Badly Over
crowded An Ask That No More
Patients BE Sent

Confronting the county commission
ers of the several counties in Mary
land. just at this time is a puzzling
question for solution. What shall we
do with our INDECENT insane?"
Anne Arundel county commission
ers, with those of other counties have
received a letter from DIR. j. Percy
Wade. superintendent of Spring Grove
asylum for the insane, Gainesville,
near Baltimore. asking that no more
patients be sent to that institution
which is now overcrowded.
DR.. Wade has addressed the follow
ing letter to the commissioners:
Board of County Commissioners,
Annapolis, Anne Arundel Co, Md.
Gentlemen:
Owing to the crowded condition of
the hospital (every bed is occupied
and several patients are sleeping on
the fioor) it will be impossible to re-
ceive any patients at the present. AS
soon as the conges ion is relieved you
will be notified and the patients will
be admitted as usual
I'm the future am asking you to re
strict the admissions as far as pos
sible to acute and urgent cases who
respond TO treatment and are dis
charged The seniles and feeble
minded should be kept at home where
IL is practical
1.-The present crowded condition of
the hospital is largely due to the great
number of hopeless cases admitted
during the past year, many of whom
only require custodial care and could
be given the same care at home as at
the hospital
Thanking you for your co-opera-
ton, | am,
Yours respectfully,

THE NEW sIsTERHOOD

The other night Annapolis people
were treated to the amazing spectacle
of rich and poor. high and humble
Joining in the enjoyment of a social
event when ladies and children of the
city met in party given by the Chill
dren's Welfare committee.
This democratic condition is 'on
account OF the war" and is one of the
numerous benefactions that have come
10 our social and commercial life out
OF that deplorable calamity. Sorrow is
a leveler of caste and IL is true that
the war has brought about such uni
versal sorrow that men and women
the civilized world over have come to
have deeper understanding OF and
respect for the brotherhood of man.
II is probable that this great step
toward more democratic form of
community life Is the richest blessing
the war has brought to the American
people. Despite our boosted democ-
racy and our scorn of old world caste
we were getting to be a people very
nearly approaching snobbishness.
While Il is too much to hope that this
un-American sentiment has been who'll
Iy stamped ont II is yet true that it
has been dealt severe blow.
AS Il was among the women of
America this condition of caste held
greatest sway. so il is that woman's
part in the war has Teen the means of
destroying II. Proud and wealthy
women stopped to mental tasks dur
ing the war and cheerfully labored
alongside the most humble of their
sex. A great sisterhood was formed
by this unity of thought and endeavor.
Not a sisterhood dependent upon fra
ternal organization and secret oaths
and obligations, but rather that sister
hood which springs from the heart.
The women of Annapolis, as those
OF other communities, have done wen
to take these timely steps toward re-
moval of the barriers that have ex-
listed. There will always be social
leaders, and they will invariably De
people of wealth, refinement and posi-
ton. Also, there will be heights in the
social scale to which the lowly may
not aspire, the misfortune of birth or
environment precluding such possi-
biiity. There can be no objection to
this. The Objectionable feature is the
one which now appears to be in fair
way to be removed. perhaps forever
that of snobbishness. The social con-
ventions may be observed and con-
served without a creation of class
feeling, a setting up of favored class
as being of superior clay.
Men have profited in this respect by
the war but not in the degree of
women, If this great sisterhood of
thought. purpose and action becomes a
permanent fixture of our social life
then the war indeed has been compen-
sating to the women of America.

WHY NOT!

1t is interesting TO note that Admiral
Badger urges upon Congress plan to
have America build a navy which in a
few years would be the equal of any
navy on earth.
Well, why not?
Our fine old English cousins are one
and all declaring that never, no never.
would they consent TO relinquish the
supreme control OF the oceans or re-
duce their navy; that their navy is
purely for defensive purposes. and so
that strict and impartial justice to
everybody should be maintained; that
the idea that there could ever be an
other Venezuela affair. or that there
could ever be disagreement with
Uncle Sam is preposterous they love
us too much and always will
OF course, certainly, to be sure
Which being the case. why should
America have any navy at all? There
is always the British navy to protect
and defend US and our Monroe Doc
trine. and to keep the rest of the world
in order.
But would that be fair TO dear old
John Bull-maintaining all those ex-
pensive warships for our protection
and the good of mankind? And if we
are to help at all. ought We not TO do
our full share? We have twice the
population and several times the
wealth of Britain. and, of course,
there can never be anything but love
and gratitude between us. If the Eng
disappearing nations are to join in the
altruistic aim OF defending each other
and making the world safe for democ-
racy and good trade, would it not be
only fair to our cousins across the sea
that we should contribute not only as
large as theirs, in order TO defend

WHAT THE SCRIPTURES SAY

Again, new commandment / write

He that saith he is in the light. and

He that loveth his brother abideth in

But he that hateth lis brother is in
