WEIMAR. June IS (delayed) In
this placid centre Of Liberalism and
intellectualism the German Govern
ment is preparing to write finis to
the great Teutonic tragedy. Here
will be made the fateful decision
that either means the closing Of the
worlds greatest drama or the open
ing Of a new phase of it.
In the Grand Ducal palace in the
city Of Goethe and Schiller the Gov
ernment headed by the former har-
ness maker will conduct the delibera-
tions so vital to Germany's interests.
The remaining members of the Cabi-
net arrived to-day and the entire
Government, with the exception Of
Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau, is now
here. all occupying rooms in the
palace.
Count Won Bernstorff has taken
part Of tho apartment Of Count
Won Brockdorff- -Rantzau and Matthias
Erzberger has established an office
for the Armistice Commission on the
third foor. President Ebert, Chan
cellor Scheidemann and Minister Of
, Defence Noske occupied themselves
for the greater part of the day with
the convention of the Majority So
ciallst party, where their steam roller
fiattened out all opposition, despite
more than $50 resolutions rejecting
discomfort within the party because
the leaders had failed to bring about
the workingmen's millennium after
getting into power. The rank and
file are awakening to the fact that
the beautiful theories which the lead
ers promised to put into effect are
quite different from the practical
realities.
Eager TO Get Answer
Count Won Brockdorff- after
notifying the Assembly that the al
| lied answer would not be delivered
until Monday announced he would ar
rive at Weimar Tuesday, accom-.
panied by those Of the delegates not
already here.
The Government remains here in
the meantime to get the answer,
which In all probability will be tele-
graphed by Count Won Brockdorff.
Rantzau. so that the Government al
ready informed will have an early
opportunity for deliberations.
Arriving here Count Won Brock.
dorff- Rantzau will preside over the
deliberations, and as Foreign Minister
he also will participate in the Cabinet
meetings as well as in the sessions OF
the Assembly.
AS the hour of decision draws near
the members of the Government show
reticence as to their probable action.
Chancellor Scheidemann stands on
the statement he made to me for
THE SUN last week that unless there
are material changes he will not
sign the treaty. Apparently he feels
strengthened in that attitude by the
fact that sentiment at the convention
and within his party has developed
strongly against signing. Erzberger
the eternal optimist. feels quite
hopeful.

accumulation all restrictions as to

NAVAL ACADEMY TO Be
BRANCH POST OFFICE
Tremendous Increase Of Business
At Academy Makes Branch Es-
tablishment Necessary
YEoMAN KoONTz. P. M.

That the Naval Academy will short
ly be made a branch of the New York
postoffice is a matter that is now in
the hands of the Navy department and
postoffice officials at Washington.
Since the increase in the number of
midshipmen of the regiment and the
reserve officers class, the quantity of
mail matter received and sent from
the Naval academy has grown to huge
proportions.
The academy authorities and Post
master Linthicum have taken up the
matter with the department to have
the office here at the academy a
branch of the New York Office which
will soon be accomplished This will
mean the mail will be directly trans
mitted from the Naval academy to the
depot, and from the depot to the acad-
emy, and will not pass through the
Annapolis postoffice.
The academy will have its own office
for registered mail and money order

CONGREGATIONAL SING"
FEATURE AT ST. ANNE'S
Choirmaster Webster Inaugurates
Hymn Service During Season
OF Epiphany

Organist and Choirmaster George A.
Webster, of ST. Anne's, is endeavoring
to encourage congregational singing
at st. Anne's. and to make this hymn
service special feaure of the Epiph-
any season.
A service devoted to hymn singing
was held at the church last Sunday
evening, and the result was very en-
couraging.
There is great movement all over
the country to improve congregational
singing in the churches. In Boston,
Bishop Lawrence has requested that
the churches devote more attention to
this very important part of the church
service, and the results have been very
gratifying both TO the people and the
clergy.
The hymns for next Sunday at ST.
Anne's church will be Nos. 8, Sc, So, SIS,

SPRING-LIKE WEATHER
FOLLOWS COLD, WINDY
DAYS OF LAST TWO DAYS

Fair and warm skies today. with a
promise of continued fair tomorrow,
greeted Annapolis citizens who wildly
chased headgear down the streets
Thursday night and shuddered with
the damp and penetrating cold yester-
day. 1t was the first real touch of
winter and caused considerable suf-
fering; it is compensated for today,
however, by the spring-like balmi-
ness.
A strong northwest wind swept over
this city Thursday night, increasing
later in the night to gale force.
Throughout the town limbs we're
broken off trees, and signs were blown
down, but no material damage was
done
So far as known no damage was
done to the shipping. but had the gale
struck a little earlier the damage
would probably been serious. For
tunately the oyster boats that had
gone out early in the day. had all come
in before the wind storm broke.
On account of the severe cold of
Thursday night and early Friday
morning, but few oyster boats went
out, but a number went out later in
the day as things warmed up little.
At nine o'clock the thermometer along
the wharves registered eighteen above
zero, but it is said to have been down
to twelve degrees at 1880 Friday morn
ing.
There was a skim of ice over the
harbor, and the creeks were frozen
but skating is said to be unsafe as yet
Should the present low temperature
continue few days there will be
skating on College and Spa creeks.

the eleventh hour of the eleventh day

melted the heart of the whole of hu-
manity with enthusiasm. We have
been going to school with Woodrow
Wilson as schoolmaster.
Armenians True To Their Faith.
AS we hate to expose the pain of our
wounded soldiers who fought for us,
so we hate to expose the pain of the
Armenians. but some of it must be ex-
posed and he read from a late copy
depicting barbarous treatment to
which they have been subjected.
DR.. Poteat told who the Turks are,
a barbaric people without kinship;
bandits and murderers. living for
rapine and plunder He told who the
Armenians are. a people who stretch
back in history to the days of Abraham
and whose kinship is toward Europe,
rather than toward Asia, almost an
isolate race occupying territory south
of the Caspian Sea, where they were
in the swish, backwash and eddyings
of those on either side, and although
they are peaceful and home-loving,
they have suffered more than any other
group of people. They are industrious,
said DR.. Poteat, and the best printing
house in Boston is that of an Ar
menian. He asked why we should help
these people, and answered the ques-
ton by saying, because they are hu-
man beings, because they suffer for no
cause of their own, because they are
our fellow christians and martyrs.
They could have saved their lives by
kissing the Koran, or by saying God
is God and Mohammed is his Prophet" !"
/ know not what you would do, but
they held to their faith. The blood of
martyrs is the seat of the church, and
the greatest menace to the seat of
christianity today is Mohammedenism,
which makes compact by Identifying
sensuality with religion-a menace to
the whole world We have got to save
these Armenians, said the professor,
that they may preach the gospel to the
Mohammedans. 1t costs $500 month
to keep an Armenian alive. He told
the story of the priest of long ago, ex-
communicating himself because one in
his parish died of starvation, and
closed with Saying, IF the United
States does not give $30.0O0,000 to the
Armenian relief as allotted, there is
nothing for this nation TO do but to ex-
communicate itself"

A number of boys and girls today

with freezing the past night or two.

ice skating are looking forward to the
pleasure within the next week if the
