March IS, the date that the first

River, in 1884, has been designated
Maryland Day" by an act of the
Legislature of the State. The site of
the first settlement, st. Marys City,
on the banks of the st. Marys River,
Is naturally very beautiful one.
The charter granting the Province
of Maryland, dated June 20, 1882, q
very interesting legal document, was
to have been given to George Calvert,
the first baron of Baltimore, for pub
lie services rendered by him, but be-
cause Of his untimely death April
Is, 1882, 1t was granted to Cecil CAL
vert, his son, who became the second
baron. 1t was George Calvert who
conceived the idea of establishing a
settlement in America where people
of all creeds, all denominations, could
worship God in their own way, and
1t was Cecil Calvert who carried out
his fathers plan and did establish at
st. Marys City the first home Of re-
ligious freedom in America. Mary
landers are very proud of this fact,
and in 1894, the Maryland Tercen-
tenary Commission, erected a beau
tiful granite statue representing
Freedom Of Conscience" at st.
Marys City. This statue, a gift to
the State from its % counties, was
unveiled in May, 1885, by the Misses
Eleanor and Margaret Peyton Cal
vert (now Mrs. Vincent G. Tompkins,
jr., and Mrs. James Dahlman COL
lett), daughters OF Col. and Mrs. CAL
vert, and direct descendants of the
founders Of Maryland, they having
been chosen for this honor by the
Tercentenary Commission.

Face Imtermnent

Face Intermment
 If belligerent wa,SnlpS violated neutrality zone they would know that they faced internment if they put in At any Ame;.can port for repairs or supplies, under this plan, and therefore presumably would avoid fighting In American waters.
 The need for stronger guarantees Of the neutral none became appar. ent with the intensification of European conflict. In addition to the furious naval was centering in the North Sea, the Red Army of Soviet Russia prepared for Josef V. Stalin's 60th birthday anniversary celebration Thursday by striking with stil greater power against the Films.
 Another mass attack on the main Finnish defense Inc In southeast Finland was reported from Helsin- ki, where the Red army also was said to be striking with renewed fury In the Salla sector of the eastern front In Q new effort to cut the country in two with Q drive to the Gulf of Hothnia.
 Russian Losses Numerous
 The Russian losses were greater than ever, Finnish dispatches res ported, but still more men and more tanks, supported by heavier artil. lery concentrations, were hurled against the defense positions on the Karelian Isthmus. The Finn, were reported to have said that they could hold out all winter Il the usual Snows come and if they receive urgently needed wah mate rials from abroad.
 In the north, the snows were re. ported aiding the defenders. 4 blinding snow storm swirled along the Artic front where Finnasl, troops had dug in east of rvalt after being pushed back from thu bottle.neck corridor to the Arctic Ocean.
 The Films, having shot dowr perhaps seven Russian planes tf turning back yesterdays aerial at. tacks, called tho class of men < years old to the colors and reported that they still were holding theil main positions on all fronts despite increasing Russian pressure.
 At Moscow, it was announced tha' Q dozen Finnish planes had beer shot down In yesterdays aerial bat ties and that only two Russian craft were lost.
 More ships Sunk
 The new German offensive against British coastal vessels in th' North Sea has resulted in the sink ing of 2S tout post" ships, the higt command announced. A 24th victin was believed to be the British Trawler Trinidad which went dowf with loss of two men of the Nor wegian coast after being bombed and machine gnnned by German planes. The crew charged that th' Germans continued to piachinegur them as thew abandoned ship.
 Allied sources claimed continuing successes against the seat offensive Tn Paris, it was stated that between a and 47 U.boatS had been sunl since the war started. The NaSil had to least 60 submarines wher war began and have been building steadily.
