This action of the Post Is consid
ered a real service and It hopes to

work, such as caring for the graves of
the deceased comrades and carrying
into the schools the message of pa
triotism. The Post Commander will
endeavor to locate and invite every
member of the G. A. R. and United

to become honorary members of this
Post, they being exempted from ini

Much delight was shown by the
members present in the adoption of
this measure and in the Initiation of
the old comrade. The Post is ever
looking forward to the day the or

rying on the work so ably handled
in the years past by the Grand Army
of the Republic and the United Con
federate Veterans and It should give
all a bit of satisfaction to realise that

NEWSBOYS HVE BIS
TIME HTHE CIRCUS
Logal Carriers Guests Of Even
ing Capital And J. B. Moore
At Last Night’s Show '
It was a happy, oare-free crowd of
newsboys that left here early laat
night to attend the evening perform
ance of the Rlngling Bros, and Bar
num and Bailey Circus which is now
showing In Baltimore. Accompanied
by J. B. Moore, Roy Cranford. Joe
Morgan and Alfred Norwood, the car
riers of the Sunpapers, and The Eve
ning Capital were loaded into two
automobiles, and around 6 o’clock the
trip to circus-land was started. All
along the way the youths gave vent
to their delight by making the welkin
ring with their boyish shouts, and it
wis a well "pepped’* bunch that ar
rived on the circus grounds ready
to take in all the sights.
Menagerie Big Attraction
As an appetizer for the big show
in the main tent, the boys spent some
timet in viewing the menagerie, dur
ing which inspection many an eys
popped at the sight of some of the
strange-looking creatures jumping
around their caged shelters. In fact,
one of the younger boys, upon view
ing the giraffe, was heard to give ut
terance to the time-honored expres
sion: “There ain’t no sich animal.”
Lions, tigers, elephants and all re
ceived their due share of attention,
and the "newsies” plainly showed
their boyish love for animals when
they had to take their leave of the
wild “critters** in order to be on time
for the main performance.
Kept 'Em Busy A "Lookin'
The only objection tbe boys had to
the main show was that they couldn’t
see it all at once. With three rings
and several platforms simply alive
with bespangled performera and al
most countless aerial artists doing
their high-up stunts, all going on at

Governor's Proclamation on Sugar
Wherta? the rise in the price of sugar, which cannot pos
sibly be Ascribed to any natural cause, operates with the greatest
injustice upon every householder and user of sugar in this
State and in the country with respect to one of the necessities
of life and, therefore, justifies such concerted action on the part
of the people as will right the wrong; and
Whereas the recent curtailment in the purchase and use of
sugar has already resulted in a material reduction in the price
thereof; -
Now, therefore, I, Albert C. Ritchie, Governor of Mary
land, do earnestly request the householders of Maryland and
all other users of sugar in this State to continue restricting
their purchase and use of ugar to the lowest possible amount
as the only immediately effective means of restoring a normal
market and destroying the efforts of those who would prevent
one.
NAVY CREWS FACE
MTS TIM
Varsity And Plebes In Regatta
Against Princeton And
Harvard
Championship aspirations of most
of the leading crews in the East will
be tested today in two of the out
standing early season regattas of the
year. s
Navy and Columbia, which have
ruled tbe collegiate seas ao far this
spring, will face strong opposition in
efforts to add to their laurels, tbe mid
shipmen in a triangular affair in Lake
Carnegie with Harvard and Princeton,
while the New Yorkers will row
against Pennsylvania and Yale on tbe
Houaatonlc river, near Derby, Conn.
Because of their showing to date,
however, the -Navy and Columbia
eights will enter tbe vanity events
favored to triumph, with Yale and
Harvard, which have get to show their
mettle this year, looming as tbe dark
horses In their respective events.
The races are scheduled for 5
o’clock.
Navy Lads Busy At Home
While the middy oarsmen are striv
ing for supremacy against two of the
leading antvamity crews, their com
rades at home will be engaged in five
other lines of athletic endeavor on
land. Dual contests in five events
furnished a mighty attractive card on
fields of the government reservation ,
this afternoon, and all were calculated
to draw big galleries of devotees.
First of the contests scheduled to
get under way was a lacrosse game
between the Navy Plebes and Ihe
twelve of Baltimore Polytechnic In
stitute, booked for 2 o’ciocjc. Both
tbe baseball game with the University
of Virginia and tennis with Rut
gers College, of New Jersey, were
scheduled for 2:30, and a lacrosse
game between the Navy Varsity and
Penn State Collegp and the field and
track meet with Columbia for 3:45.

IN POUGHKEEPSIE
CLASSIC UNLIKELY
....
Chances of the Navy rowing crews
entering the Poughkeepsie regatta re
gardless of the renewed invitation,
which it is said will be extended by
the stewards of the association, and
tbe outcome of tbe triangular races
among Princeton, Harvard and Navy
on Lake Carnegie today, are viewed
as mighty slim, according to a state
ment made by Rear-Admiral Henry B.
Wilson, superintendent of the Naval
Academy.
Admiral Wilson, several months
ago, ruled against the middies enter
ing either tbe American Henley on
the Schuylkill or the Poughkeepsie
regatta on the Hudson largely be
cause the dates for these events come
after the closing of the academic term.
The Poughkeepsie event, especially,
would mean that the oarsmen would
have to remain here for several weeks
in training, thereby greatly interfer
ing with their regular work, a particu
lar point being that they would lose
! much time from the annual summer
practice cruise, which begins the first
week in Jane. This was experienced
two years ago.

OF STATUS OF P. (J.
SCHOOL
Following is the text of a tele
gram received by Clarence M.
White, president of the Chamber
of Commerce, and J. Garland
Healy, former president of the
Rotary Club, from United States
Senator Ovington E. Weller, rela
tive to the agitation over the pro
posed transfer, or probable abol
ishment of the Navy Post-Gradu
ate School here:
"After working for several days
upon the suggested removal of
the post-graduate school from the
Naval Academy. I am pleased to
inform you that I am advised that
there is no likelihood of such a
transfer being made in the near
future.”
Notwithstanding the agitation
over the proposal of Rear-Ad
miral Henry B. Wilson that the
navy post-graduate school be
abandoned or else transferred to
some place where better housing
facilities can he obtained, Senator
O. E. Weller in a telegram has
advised the Chamber of Com
merce and the Rotary Club that
there is no likelihood of such ac
tion being taken in the near fu
ture.
No Action Within Year
The same opinon was expressed
yesterday by Navy Department offi
cials, who declared that even If the
discontinuance or transfer of the
Bchool is desired by all Administra
tion leaders it scarcely could be ac
complished for the next 13 months,
because appropriations for that pe
riod already have been made.
Secretary Denbj Reticent
Edwin Denby, Secretary of the
Navy, said no proposal for removal
or abandonment of the sctool has
reached him officially. He declined to
say what his attitude would be on the
matter until formal recommendations
are presented. He added, however,
that so far as he had been advised
no Buch recommendations are under
contemplation.
