The Two Seventeen Trot
This event with four starters was
won by Tom Rex, owned by John H.
Macbeth. This horse certainly out
classed his field, trotting the second
heat In 2:19-h and winning easily.
Mr. Macbeth should be proud of his
new purchase. Rythmo who won the
2:20 trot Friday did not seem to be on

well driven by John Henick he was
not fast enough to give Mr.. Macbeth's

MEETING OF WELCOME
COMMITTEE" DEFERRED
insufficient Members Assembled
Last Night To Discuss Dis
position Of Fund
TO GATHER ON JUNE Is

Because not sufficient members of
the Home Coming Committee" who
planned the welcome home TO the
soldiers of Annapolis and Anne Arun-
del county, upon their return from
overseas. after service in the World
War. responded TO the call for a
meeting last night, disposition of the
fund of over $4,000 remaining i'm the
treasury of that committee. will be
still further deferred. Instead OF
hreshing the matter out TO a final
conclusion last night. former Mayor
Strange suggested that it would be
4 better course, to postpone the whole
matter until a meeting which he call
ed for June Is.
Former Mayor Strange is the chair
nan of this committee, and includ-
ng himself there was not more than
4 dozen members of the general com
nittee who assembled for the meet
ing AS hitherto published in the
Capital. several propositions have
been suggested as to the use for
which this fund is to be appropriated
and in view of the fact that the money
represents general contributions from
citizens throughout the county, it is
felt that mature consideration should
be given the question before the final
step is taken The three main prop
ositions suggested are whether or not
to turn the money over to the Amer
lean Legion TO be used towards the
purchase of home headquarters of the
organization; erect a suitable mem-'
orial at some conspicuous place about
the city, or to create an endowment
fund for furnishing and providing foI
a room ward in the Emergency Hos
pital for use in case of sick or dis
abled soldiers or members of their
families.

FINE SPRING DAY
IN WAKE Of STORM

Although Anne Arundel county felt
the effects only to a minor degree
an electrical, hail, wind and rain
storm, the severest of the season,
swept over various sections of
Maryland yesterday afternoon anC
last night, and left much damage in
its wake. Considerable damage re-
suited in Baltimore city and Balti-
more county, and other contiguous
points.
Annapolis apparently got the tail
end of the storm. 1t was quite Sc
we're. however, as far south from Bal
timore as Marley in the Third dis
trict Reports reaching the city are
to the effect that a heavy blow of
wind swept over there, and that the
deluge of rain, was mingled with hail
stones of considerable size. 1t is not
thought, however. that crops suffer
ed damage to any extent in the up
per section of the county.
The storm seems to have cleared
he atmosphere of all of the unsettled
elements. as indicated by the splen-
did conditions prevailing today. This
has teen the most gorgeous day of
the belated Spring, and prospects are
that residents of this section will
revel in an even better sample of the
Spring time tomorrow.

DRIVE FOR SOLDIERS
OF GUARD AT HAND
Committees Begin Weeks In
Intensive Work Monday-Up
To Marylanders To Help
c Full PLANS LAID

All is in readiness for the opening
of the Statewide campaign to raise
recruits for the new Maryland Ma
tional Guard. which will open on
Monday, May "a and continue for ten
days. At the end of this time it is
the hope of Governor Ritchie. Adit-
Gen. Milton A. Reckord and others
backing the campaign to have Mary
lands quota in the new national mi
litia organization OF the United
States
Maryland must raise $500 men for
the Guard There will be two infan-
try regiments, two batteries of ar
tillery and medical unit One in
fantry regiment and at least one of
the artillery groups will be distrib-
uted throughout the counties and a
company will he raised in many
towns The infantry regiment of the
State will he the First and in the
city the Fifth Regiment will be re-
vived.
Plans for the Guard campaign have
to enroll men from as representative
group of citizens as possible, and
every profession, business and trade
will he called upon to present a quota
of recruits to the State. The execu
tive or steering" committee named
fy the Governor to aid in the cam
paign has suggested two per cent as
i proper proportion for large en-
ployers to give TO the Guard.
In each of the counties a sub-com
mittee will be named to aid in the
active work. These committees will
see to it that every young man in
The counties receives an invitation to
Join the guard and has explained to
him the need for State military or
ganization and the duty which lies
before him in regard to the matter.
Young Men Specially Desired
Young men who have come of mill
tary age since the World War armis-
tice was signed are to be especially
appealed TO. 1t is felt by those at the
head of The campaign that the vet
Grams of the war and men who have
already seen military service will, in
many instances, come into the new
organization. but it is felt that they
can't be expected to share the entire
responsibility.
Governor Ritchie is anxious to see
that the campaign goes over in good
style for the obvious reason that at
present Maryland is virtually without
military protection of any kind. The
work done by the old Maryland Ma
tional Guard on many occasions when
disaster visited the city or state, such
as the great fire of 1904, furnishes
ample evidence of the need Of some
organized body of men for service in
such emergencies.
Adjutant-General Reckords office in
The Maryland Trust Building, Balti-
more, or the county workers in the
campaign will be glad to furnish full
information concerning the new units
to all interested.
