Last week a change in the camp set
up was made with view to placing
it more nearly on n self governing
basis The junior camp is divided
into five family groups. with a hostess
for each group, holding meetings to-
gether every evening. The senior
camp has a hostess al spokesman for
that group, and a girl executive is APP
pointed to represent both senior and
Junior groups This week the eXcCu-
tive is Miss Sara Troth.
The keyWOrd around which the pro

used. Sunday morning worship Is be
ing conducted each week at II O'Clock,
with vesper services at Ais o'clock in
the afternoon. The theme as given
in the key work was used in the
daily worship as well as for the Sun
day services.
Tuesday was a big day at camp.
Early in the afternoon three large
launches brought 40 guests from the
-
ing held at Camp PaWatinika, the
camp of the Baltimore Y. w. {. A., on
South River near Annapolis They
arrived in gypsy costumes, making a
colorful sight against the white
launches, decorated with pirate de-
vices, and the blue water as they
came into Ramp kahlert. The party
returned to PaWatinika after dinner,
stopping for a moonlight dip on the
way home. After the departure of
the visitors the camp girls staged

II aiis for which the A. acres of camp
are so we'll adapted.
The eyer-popular launch ride took
place on Wednesday night. This is a
weekly event to which the whole
camp looks forward.

1t is difficult. I repeat, TO hold
either leaders or men to high account
ability when such conditions are all
too common. What can even the best
of generals do when communication,

described by n certain contractor?

How can we in our condition show
ourselves to them in their condition

is our problem.

RECOUNT CHANGES
MT. RAINIER VOTE
Negus Has go More Than Beall in
Mayor Race-Councilmanic
Contest Likely.
Special Dispatch to The star.

MOUNT RAINIER, Md. May A.
At a meeting of the mayor and town
council in the town hall tonight at
Z o'clock returns of the election held
Monday will be submitted. Following
a recount of the ballots that was not
completed until o'clock yesterday
morning it was learned that the off,
cial returns will show that former
Mayor Fred Negus received so more
votes than did Mayor John Fl. Beall
for that post: that Norman A. Pruitt
received 10 votes to 167 for n. J. Or
cutt for councilman from the first
ward, and that Bert E. Sager re-
ceived considerably more votes as
councilman from the fourth ward than
did his opponents, Gilbert w. Hughes
and Paul r. Hyson.
1t is understood that d. J. Orcutt
already has engaged an attorney with
a view to contesting the election.
What the attitude of other defeated
candidates will be was uncertain
today.
1t is expected that Orcutt will base
his protest upon the fact that 200
votes were thrown out because of be-
ing improperly marked. Ballots con-
tanned the names of all candidates and
most of those thrown out showed
votes for more than councilman.

LAID TO INTERFERENCE.
Baltimore Mayor Race Said TO Have
Been Influenced by State.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
RAI,TIMOREi. Md, May Awhile
Democratic leaders blame religion for
Yesterdays defeat of William Curran,
their mayoralty candidate, Catnollc,
by William r. Broening, Repubhcan'
Protestant. by 1876 votes, lndepeno-
ent politicians on both sides call II
revolt against State Interference with
city democracy.
out of a total Democratic registra-
ton Of 13f 900 voters Curran received
only 6S,299 votes, against Broenlng
S5.675. showing that thousands OF
Democrats remained away from the
polls. while many cut the ticket.
While the religious question may
have had some bearing on the result,
it was not the deciding factor, as IS
proved by the fact that seven out OF
II Catholic candidates for the city
council were elected. This IS turther
proved bv the fact that in the fourth
district where there were no Catho-
lies running for office, the three ke-
publican CITY council candidates, two
of them negroes, wefe elected over
their Democratic opponents, two OF
whom were Jews and the other, BeV-
erly w. Smith, at present a meillper
of the council, is a Protestant.
Following so closely on the over
vheIming election of Gov. Ritch1e.
who carried Baltimore City last Fan
by 47,000 majority over his Repub-
Iican opponent, Democratic leaders
are hard put to explain this reversal
and have seized upon the religious
question as the answer.
One of the reasons for the Demo
cratic upheavaI, and one which IS
given more weight by Independent
politicians than the religious issue, IS
that the shelving" of Mayor jack
son, "wha gave the city one of its
best administrations" by the State
leaders was resented by his followers
and they voiced their protest by
either staying away from the polls or
voting for Broenig. The entire Demo-
cratic campaign was based on the ad-
ministration of Jackson, which made
it all the more puZZling for the Demo
cratic leaders to explain why Jack
son was forced to withdraw after ne
had announced his candidacy for re-
election and Curran substituted.
AS Baltimore constitutes over one
half the voting population of Mary
land the Republican victory yesterday
is taken as setback to the presiden-
tial aspirations of Gov. Ritchie, espe-
cialiy so in view of the fact that Gov.
Ritchie as the titular head of the
| Democratic party in Maryland, took
leading part in substituting Curran
for jackson and made number OF
| speeches during the campaign urging
| Curran's election.

Religious Prejudice Effect.

OF various uncertain political fac
tors, the effect of religious prejudice
drew the greatest attention. This
feeling, which operated under the sur
face from the beginning of the cam
paign, was brought into the open
during its last few days. A published
statement that "the fight was to be
made on Mr.. Curran because he is a
Catholic" attributed to Eugene Fred
erick, chairman of the Republican
publicity committee, was declared to
be ''an infamous lie" by Mr.. Frederick.
This was followed by publication of
a sworn affidavit by Harry Fl. Gold
berg, Jew, that Frederick had made
the statement in question during a
Republican rally which Goldberg at.
tended Handbills were circulated at
another Republican meeting, which
bore, together with the candidates
names and political affiliations, the
designation Protestant" or "Catho-
lic''--the latter word printed in CAPT
tails. Mr.. Frederick repudiated these,
too.

votes in sections of the city where

most vigorous expression in politics.
