c. ALPHONSO SMITH
: WRITES ON POE IN
MENTOR MAGAZINE

C. Alphonso Smith, the distin-
guished English scholar and speaker,
head of the English Department at
the Naval Academy, has a profusely
illustrated article on Edgar Allen Poe
in the September number of the Men
tor Magazine, which is largely de-
voted to the famous Maryland poet.
Professor Smith is so widely recog-
nized as the authority on Poe's life
and works that he was called on to
make the address at the unveiling of
the Poe memorial statue in Baltimore
in October of last year. The statue was
designed by Sir Moses Ezekiel and
erected by the Edgar Allen Poe Asso-
citation at the Maryland avenue en-
trance to Wyman Park.

INCREASED PERSONNEL
REQUIRED FOR NAVY
Will Ask Next Congress To Ap-

More Men
SHIPS ARE UNDERMINED

An appropriation for an increase of
10000 men over the present enlisted
personnel will be asked from Con-
gress this fall This would bring the
strength of the enlisted force up to
$4,000 men.
This increase. naval experts figure
out, is made necessary primarily by
the new ships that. will be added to
the fleet next year and secondly by
the fact that practical test this year
has demonstrated that the present
number is Inadequate.
The additional ships next year, all
of which are included in the navy
provided for by the Armament Confer
ence, are the two new battleships, the
Colorado and West Virginia; part or
all of the 10 light cruisers under con-
struction; the score or more submar-
ines, ready to be commissioned, which
will replace the obsolete types being
relegated to the scrap pile, and the
two new airplane carriers.
To man these vessels more men will
be nedeed and with the approval of
the House leaders, who successfully
led the fight recently against the Kel-
y-Madden-Mondell attempt to reduce
the enlisted strength to $1,000 fig
ure naval experts declare ruinous. the
department will carry the fight to the
enemy for what it considers to be an
adequate number OF men with which
to carry on"
No attempt will be made at this
time to secure authorization for the
larger and more powerful cruisers

Trapped by an alarm that had been
set Tor the purpose, Horace Norwood,
an Annapolis youth, was apprehended
ON Saturday afternoon in the act of
pilfering the cash till in the Republic
Theatre on Main street and was re-
turned to st. Mary's Industrial School,
from which institution he had been
recently paroled
The arrest of young Norwood was
the result of plan laid by the man
ager of the Republic. who has had
experience at other times of losses
by burglary On two occasions more
than year ago the cash till in the
ticket booth of the Republic was loot
ed. but at both times there was no
clue by which the miscreant might be
traced.
The next loss from the till came
last Saturday week, when more than
$50 disappeared at some time between
the close of the matinee performance
and the opening of the show for the
evening. Deciding that it was best
to keep the matter quiet and see if
the successful and apparently unsus-
pectod burglar would return the man
ager fthe theatre made no report OF
the loss, but laid a plan for the fol-
lowing week, which was last Satur-
day.
An annunciator line was laid by
A. M. Parkinson, house manager of
the theatre and police deputy, from
the ticket booth to the second floor
of the theatre building. and an alec
