FORMER HEAD
OF D. A. R.
IS ARRESTED
Mrs. VIM. Cumming Story Ac-
cused Of Larceny BY A
New York Jury
OUTGROWTH OF WAR
CHARITY ACTIVITY
Alleged With Two Sons To Have
Shared Commissions With
Solicitor

Keen interest is manifested in An
napolis today over the announcement
from New York that Mrs. William
Cumming Story, former head of the
National Daughters of the Revolution,
and well known in this city, which she
has visited a number of times, had
been arrested on charges of grand
larceny. petty larceny and conspiracy.
The charges are in connection with
the affairs of the National Emergency
Relief Society, of which Mrs Story is
president.
Indicted with Mrs. Story were her
sons-Allen, an army lieutenant, sta
toned at Aberdeen, Md, and Sterling,
who is now in the government service
at Washington. They are charged with
having participated with their mother
in a profiteering scheme whereby
money contributed for comfort kits
for United States soldiers was diverted
to the pockets of solicitor.
The indictments charge that Mrs.
Story arranged with William Garland
Brown, the solicitor, for him to re-
ceive half the funds collected by the
Society and that he gave Sterling
Story one-fifth of his SO per cent. This
second division, it is alleged, compen-
sated Sterling for his part in negotia-
ting Browns arrangement with his
mother.
The assistant District Attorney, who
has charge of the inquiry, declared
there was no way of checking up the
contributions made and the use to
which they ultimately were put. Con-
sequently, he said, the aggregate
amount believed to have been misused
could not be verified
Mrs. Story, the prosecuting authori-
ties declare, never was actually elect
ed president of the Relief Society, but
took that Office arbitrarily. AS a mat
ter of fact, they say, the manner in
which the Society itself was incor-
porated was grossly irregular"
Mrs. Story subjected herself to
prosecution, it was declared, because
she falsely represented that her So
lcity paid no commissions to solicitors,
and thus obtained a small part of the
proceeds from the Hero Land Bazaar,
in which many accredited war relief
organizations participated.

WHEAT WILL BRING
$2.0O VERY SOON

In the opinion of some of the lead
ing grain men of Maryland. any re-
vision of prices for wheat authorized
by the United States Food Admins
tration will be such as to insure the
farmers in every part of the country
not less than 50 per bushel for their
grain.
Under the original food administra-
tion act the government had this min
imum price level in mind, and it has
been maintained ever since the act has
been ineffect. The increase in freight
rates, which went into effect yester-
day, has. complicated the price situa-
tion as applied to grain. but grain men
here stated today that any readjust-
ment that is to be made will occur
with the 50 minimum price in view.

CHANGE IN DRAFT
AGE MAY LAY OVER
President Wilson And Secretary Baker
Said To Be Opposed To
Immediate Action

Extension of draft ages to include
men between the ages of 20 and 40
years may be held up until next ses-
sion by suggestion of President Wilson
and Secretary Baker.
The President is understood to be
Opposed to modifying the age limits
this session. Secretary Baker con-
ferred today with members of the Sen
ate Military Committee and is said to
have conveyed this word to the legis-
lators, adding his own concurrence in
the Presidents views.
The Senate recognizes the necessity
for changing ages, although a few
members are clinging to the idea that
because 100000 or more have been
registered it ought to be possible to
draft all the men needed from among
this number. Repeated warning that
Glass /, made up of those without de-
pendents, is shortly to be depleted,
have failed to convince these Sena-
tors. Some of them are opposing the
change on the ground that they do not
believe the War Department wants it.
The War Department has so far fail
ed to express its wishes to Congress.

GIRLS FRIENDLY
FOUNDER DIES
Mrs. Townsend Passes Away In Eng
land. Established G. +. 5.
Years Ago.

To those interested in the Girls
Friendly Society" of which there are
so 600 members in the United States,
and a very fiourishing branch in St.
Anne's parish, Annapolis, it may be
of interest to know that IN letter re-
ceived by a member of this branch
from headquarters in New York to-
day. q statement was made of the
death of Mrs. Townsend, the founder
of the Girls Friendly Society in Eng
land, about ten days ago, and the ex-
treme illness of Mrs. Roberts, the
honorary president of the society in
America at her home in Philadelphia,
which. owing to her age, causes much
concern. These facts seem TO mark
an era in the history of the organiza-
tion. The English society is the moth
er branch and the American branch
is founded upon that organization.
This society, with its wonderfully or
ganized work for the prevention of
evil to young girls. its emblem being
a banner bearing white lily on a
blue ground, indicative of purity, is
especially useful in these troublous
times when every effort is being made
for the protection of girls.

old COMPANY M
BOYS HAVE SAFELY
ARRIVED IN FRANCE
Regiment Composed Entirely Of
Maryland Boys Reaches
Other Side
WENT THROUGH HOME
STATE VERY RECENTLY
No Notice Was Publicly Taken
Of The Movement At That
Time, However

| Annapolis boys, with other Mary
landers, to the number of the mem
/ bership of a whole regiment, have at
last arrived in France. The 115th In
fantry, which contains the members OF
the old First Maryland Militia Infan-
try Regiment, of which Company NJ
and the Machine Gun Company of An
I napolis were the crack units, are now
on French SOIL The information to
this effect came yesterday afternoon
in official notices to the relatives of
! the Maryland boys.
That the soldiers were on their way
to the front had been known for some
time because of their having passed
through Maryland and detrained for a
night at Laurel three or four weeks
ago, enroute from Admission, Ala, to
an Atlantic Port to embark aboard
waiting transports. Since that time
there had been anxious moments in
Annapolis lest their vessel encounter
| a Hun U-boat. Many Annapolis and
Anne Arundel County families made
trips to Laurel or to Baltimore to see
their loved ones, and fortunately most
of them were successful in reaching
these points in time. When they went
through Baltimore Governor Harring-
ton was at the station to bid them
farewell and Godspeed. Such was the
departure of 'Maryland's Own" for
"over there"
Nine months ago there was no 115th
Infantry; it was the Fifth Regiment,
M. N. G., and the Fourth Regiment,
NJ. N. G., which, amid tears, sighs and
sobs, left Maryland soil on the night
of September 16 for Admission. The
First Regiment entrained for the
Southern camp a week earlier.
Then things happened in quick sue
cession Just two weeks after the
Baltimore regiments entrained, the old
Maryland Brigade passed out of ex-
istence and the One Hundred and
Fifteenth Regiment began it's career,
which has at last carried it to France
Since the organization of the new
regiment several hundred of it's mem
bers have been selected for overseas
duty, many of whom have been on
the fighting line for several months.
A complete transformation has TAX
en- place not in the creation of the
unit, but in its individual members as
well. Most of the boys had served on
the Mexican border and thought they
would be ready after a few weeks
training to step right into the front
line trenches and bayonet their way to
Berlin.
A few weeks at Admission, however,
opened their eyes. They realized that,
after all, they were little better than
rockies in the trench fighting game,
and they settled down to master its in
tricacies. And master them they have.
They are trained to the minute; ready
to prove to America and the world the
correctness of General Morton's judg-
ment, when he declared a few months
ago that the 115th Regiment was the
best regiment in the Blue and Gray
Division.

HOSPITAL FUND
HAS NOW GONE
''OVER THE TOP"
One Hundred Dollars Needed To
Make The Total ST. 900 More
Than Was Asked For
THREE DONATIONS OF
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS
These Put Total Up To $4,000,
But Some Expenses Had To
Be Incurred In Deal

The Evening Capital Fund for the
purchase of the Siedewitz property adj
joining the grounds of the Annapolis
Emergency Hospital on two sides, to-
provide for the needed and to-be-ex-
pected growth of the institution has
gone over the top" The fund was
originally set at 1900 toward the pur-
chase price of $4,000, and there has
been subscribed 5000. or $1,000 more
than asked for However, OF this sum
il was necessary to pay a proportion
ate part of the taxes for the remain
ing portion of the fiscal year, to have
the deeds and mortgages recorded,
and in this manner approximately 500
has been expended
Now the question is who is going to
pitch in and help make up this 800.
If this is done, then the extra thous-
and above the $4,000 asked for can
then be paid upon the mortgage of S5.-
900, Immediately reducing by that
much the amount of the mortgage.
Fifty persons at 50 each, twenty per-
sons at $5 each, ten persons giving
$40 each, five persons giving $40 each,
and so on-that's the way IL can be
worked! Now, who wants to help
raise that 800 to make possible the
paying off 81 900 on the mortgage
right away?
How was the final donation of ap-
proximately $500 gotten? Mr.. and
Mrs. st. George Barber, of Anne
Arundel County. came along with the
offer of $500 if some one else would
match it with two similar sums. MIR.
r. F. Forrest came to the front with
one of the necessary $500 pledges, and
then Mr.. w. M. Holiday, who had al
ready started the fund with 500, add
ed $400 more to his original subscrip-
tion.
That's the way the fund went over
the top" and now it is "up to" those
who have not yet contributed to get
behind the proposition and make up
that extra $1,000 to start cancellation
of the mortgage.
