A LETTER FROM THE
BOLSHEVIK COUNTRY

A letter received here under date Of
March from citizen of Annapolis,
composing one OF the crew of the U. S
s. Smith Thompson, now at Novoros-
sick. Russia, says:
II am up where the Bolshevik are
doing their worst II is pitiful sight
% see some of the poor children here
without any shoes on their feet, and
the grown-ups are the same. Every
where we go there is beggar. The
people are half-starved here, and all
they have to eat is fish. pickles and
dry, hard bread The people that are
doing the fighting here are what they
call the RED ARMY, and when they
come into town they steal everything
that can lay hands on. Pyeaon means
a Russian ruble. 1t was at one time
worth So cents in American money
out today it is worth only one cent il
our money. and we can have gooo

MARYLAND MEN FIT,
DRAFT TABLE SHOWS
State Placed In Group In Which
81 Of Every 100 Quail
fed Physically
FIGURES BY WAR RISK

A bulletin just issued by the Treas
ury Department. Bureau of War Risk
Insurance. shows that Maryland is
grouped among the second best
States in physical condition Of men
who were called under the selective
draft act More than 81 men out Of
every 100 examined passed the ply
steal examination here.
The first group of States contains
those in which rs per cent. of the
men examined were passed. Only
one of these is situated east of the
Mississippi river-that one is Ken
lucky. The others, according to the
bulletin, stretch across the grain
region in a belt from Canada TO the
Gulf, including North and South Da-
kota, Minnesota, Iowa. Wyoming, Ne
braska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkan-
sas. New Mexico and Texas.
In group No. 3. from standpoint
of physical qualities, are New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Ten
nessee. Georgia, Utah, Nevada, Idaho
and Oregon In these 81 passed out
of each 100 examined.
Group No. a, or the lowest in
physique. includes the New England
States, Michigan and Delaware in the
East, and Washington, California,
Arizona and Colorado in the Far
West. The fact that the three LAST
named States, reputed for their
healthy climate, are classed in this
group causes some surprise, but 1t
is pointed out that many people have
gone there whose health was broken
down and large number of the pres
ent residents are their descendants.
In this group only 50 passed out of
every 100 examined.
Many ex-service men here are now
renewing and converting their war
risk insurance policies. The policies
that were written total nearly $780,
000. 100000.

Thanks to the new invention. which

Discussing the invention, Or. Lor-

encountered in their researches was
the danger of thermic infiltration by

this difficulty the inventors devised a
method for changing the character OF
