The address was delivered by Ma

part that Annapolis men had taken
in the war, and recalled the names of
those from this city who had been
killed in action. Following the sing
ing of the "Star-Spangled Banner"
the children began their program
which centered about the planting OF
a honor tree to the fifty-three men
who went into the war from First
Church.
The tree is a white elm secured
from the Maryland Board of Fores-
try, Edward Armstrong, of the ~5u-
nior Department of the school, placed
the tree. Master Charles Emmett
King and little Florence Brooks put
the first spades Of dirt around the
roots of the tree while the children
sang TO the tune of America:
God save this tree we plant,
And to all nature grant
Sunshine and rain.
= Let not its branches fade,
Save 1t from ak and spade,
Save ii for joy and shade
Guarding the lawn"
The exercises were somewhat cur
tailed and interfered with because of

of this, were very impressive. A

Mrs. Jewell, the tag being donated by

the patriotic records, which were
thrown down and ground to pieces on

no sense of patriotism, since demoli-

Schools, is offering 500 reward for
any Information leading to the arrest
