e Large Painting Taken Fron
German Liner Kron Prinz
j Wilhelm, After Internment
f*
. AT POST GRAD. SCHOOL
t
( Another of the war trophies of the
XT. b. Navy became the property of the
' Naval Academy, when, on Thursday,
a large painting taken from the for
mer North German Lloyd liner Kron
Prinz Wilhelm was hung in the liall
! way of the Post. Graduate school.
The painting is a large one, measur
ing five left in width and six in height.
It is an allegorical representation of
the supremacy of Germany on the
deep, and is based on the words of the
former Kaiser, “Our future lies cm the
1 seas.”
In the execution of this large oil.
there is a magnificence of general ap
pearance that outweighs a certain
weakness of detail. It was executed
by the late Arthur H. W. Fitger, a
German artist of some note, whose
paintings, mostly of a large decora
tive style, are numerous in German
and Dutch cities. Quite an interest
ing history surrounds the work that
has been received at the Academy.
While the Kron Prinz Wilhelm was
a liner the picture was placed promi
nently in the smoking room. It re
] mained there after the war began, and
the liner became a commerce raider
preying on Allied shipping and sup
plying herself with provisions and
coal from the ships that she held up.
As a raider the damage which the
Kron Prinz WllhcHfi did cannot be de
finitely estimated, but it was serious
in the amount of Allied tonnage de
stroyed.
Then the raider entered Norfolk
where she remained until she was in
terned. Upon the entrance of the
United States into the war the ship
was re-christened the Von Steuben,
and became & U. S. transport. It was
then decided that the painting should
be removed from its position in what
had now become the ward room for
naval otficers and sent to the Naval
Academy, where it has been for sev
eral months awaiting final action as
to its. disposition.
It is one of the several xvar trophies
that have recently been received at
the Naval Academy. A noteworthy
point in the photograph of the paint
ing, which was sent to Annapolis be
fore the oil itself arrived, is the in
scription “Unsere Zunkuft Liegt auf
deni Wasser,” the words of the for
mer Kaiser. In the middle of this in
scription a chronometer is set. and on
the dial there is plainly visible the
Imprint, “U. S. Navy.”
EASTPORT NURSE’S AID
TAKES'GIFT TO POOR
This afternoon Mrs. F. R. Griseom,
a member of the* District Nurses’s Aid
ofEastport, in the name of the society
she represents, and as tlieir represen
tative, motored with her husband to
South River and took two large boxes
of substantial and clothing, for the
inmates of the County Home.
The Eastport Nurse's Aid has for
merly gone in a body to the Home with
gifts and good cheer for the inmates,
hut ou this occasion deputized one of
their number, to take the gifts, it be
ing considered unwise to risk the bad
roads in an automobile truck since
the many rains have made the roads
impassable in places.
Mrs. Griseom took along two large
boxes containing crackers, ham sand
wiches, apples. pears, peaches,
oranges, jelly, preserves, tobacco, plain
cake, chocolate and jelly cake, besides
clothes and shoes for the men which
had been donated by kind friends.
The presents were taken today in
order that the inmates might enjoy
picnic ou Sunday and Monday, a holi
day.

will be eighteen cents per quart
and nine and one-half cents per
pint, with a corresponding ad
vance in wholesale prices.
On August first, the price oi
raw niilk in Baltimore advanced
four cents per gallon and al
though Baltimore dairies an
nounced an increase of one cent
x quart, we absorbed this in
crease at a large loss. A similar
advance in raw milk effective
September first, makes the ad

" TALK IS RIFE OVER
fi
; SENATORSHIP FIGHT
1 Senator Duvall’s Withdrawal
e
Causes Much Additional Spec
ulation Among Democrats
POLITICIANS CONFERRING
i
l
( The withdrawal of State Senator
; Frank M. Duvall from the fight for
- :1m Democratic nomination pre-
Mcipitated further discussion
* among Democrats who gathered about
the Court House today. In fact, ii has
i greatly mllvened the political situa
• tion, which had quieted down to a
marked ext sat, since the time limit
!
for the wifndravval of candidates *x
. pired and will a imumte even greater
interest in view of the fact that tin
primary election is scarcely more
than a week hence.
The field of candida*es for the Sen
atorial togo has, therefore, been re
duced from five to three, those re
maining being former Senator A.
Theodore Brady a nek Major Hugh R. ,
Riley, both of Annapolis, and John H. j
Gels, of Brooklyn.
Yesterday and today there have been
still further belated conferences of
politicians in and about the Court
i House but the net result of them all |
seems only to emphasize the fact that
the primary election itself is the only]
tribunal that will do the ticket-making]
this fall. The candidates themselves
and apparently the saner element
among their respective advisers seem ]
now to be taking this for granted and
are putting much vigor into their cam- 1
paign direct to the voters. Inquiry!
is being made by many of the latter j
as to where the several candidates, es
pecially those for the Legislature.
] stand on the vital questions of public
importance that are involved in the
campaign. To answer this inquiry the
suggestion w r as frequently put forth
that published statements of plat- j
forms be made without further delay. |
so that the voters might have no
ground for misunderstanding when j
they go to cast their vote on election 1
jday. It is understood that several of]
the candidates have already done this
through printed cards and letters sent
through the mail and are following
them up by personal visits to the vari
ous sections of the county.
The campaigning for the office of
Senator seems to be the most lively
right now and this afternoon and to
night as well as all of next week, all
three of the Democratic candidates
will be kept on the move. Major Riley !
! this afternoon is covering the lower
end of the First district in the vicinity
! of Mayo, while fortner Senator Brady
and Mr. Geis, the other two candidates,
are also active in other sections of
the county.

CARNIVAL HOLD-OVER
ON MONDAY NIGHT
On account of the rain one night]
during the week, which caused the j
suspension of the Rescue Hose Carni
val, the carnival will be held on Mon
day night, September 1.

the rain does not prevent. Slight

of the carnival tonight, but a down

TONGERS ALL SEE
i FOR OYSTER SEASON
; OPENING ON MONDAY
Army Of Men Of This And Other
Tidewater Counties Prepared
To Visit Bars
PRICES NOT TO SOAR
Tiie price of oysters will not !e “sky
high” this fall and the marketing of
the bivalves should help to alleviate
the present high cost of living, accord
ing to several dealers who have dis
cussed the season, which begins Mon
fday. The price of oysters has in
jcreased only 20 per cent, during the
past four years, they say. and indiea
. lions are that they will sell for loss
1 this fall and winter than last season.
Monday will mark the formal open
ing of the season for tonging for oys
ters in the waters of Chesapeake Bay
and its tributaries, and the usual
I; “army” of men of Anne Arundel, and
jail the tidewater counties of the State,
have for clays been engaged in getting
their boats and rakes into good shape
preparatory to making the first trip
to the bars. The season bids fair to
lea successful one in every way.
| That Anne Arundel tongers are per
ihaps taking a somewhat greater in
terest in connection with the opening
jof the season, is indicated by the num
-1 or of licenses that have been taken
out at tlie office of the Clerk of the
(Circuit Court of the county, as re
quired by law. The numler issued
to date is 62, as compared to 51 for
the corresponding period of last year.
That only sixty-two licenses have 1 een
issued does not mean that a far great
jer number of tengers. will not be seen
on the bars on the initial day. On the
contrary (he men who follow tilts in
dus'ry are given a grace period of as
T< tig as 30 days in which to take ou
i the prescribed license.
The reason advanced by Baltimore
■ packers that oysters would probably
be cheaper this season is that they
will be very plentiful and the growers
and tongers will find labor conditions
! greatly improved. The price of extra
] selects will be about $2.50 a gallon
j Monday, and those in shells will bring
; front $3 to $6 a barrel. These prices
;are about the average of last year.
] The majority of oyster shipments
| that will reach the big city markets
(next week will come from York and
Rappahannock river, and it is said that
j York river oysters are belter this sea
son than Rappahannocks. The rock
•oysters of the Rappahannock are up
to the standard, but the planted varie
ties are reported to he poor.
William H. Killian, of the State Con
iservation Commission, has returned
j from an inspection of oyster beds in
[Maryland and reported that prospects
! were exceptionally encouraging for a
j splendid season.
NEW NAVY OFFICERS
ARRIVE IN TOWN
While the navy wants officers, it is
seldom they arrive, in embryo. In
pairs. Such, however, was the case
'last night when twin sons were born
'at the Emergency Hospital to Lieu
'tonant-Commander Harry Hill, U. S.
N„ and Mrs. Hill. The hospital is
very proud of its new twins. Mrs.
Hill was before her marriage Miss
Margaret Hall, daughter of Mrs. Jul
ius Hall, thife city, and niece of the
Misses Stockett, with whom she makes
her home whle her husband is on sea
duty.
The mother and two little naval of
ficers are reported to be doing nicely.
It is stated they will be named “Harry
Wilbur” and “John Clayton Hill, 2nd.’’
EASTPORT CARNIVAL
HELD NEXT MONTH
At a meeting last night of the East
port Community Improvement Asso
ciation it was decided to hold a car
nival in September, the date and place
to be named later.
The proceeds of the carnival will
be appropriated to the purchase of
'a chemical fire engine and to enlarge
the firemen’s hall in the village. Last
night's meeting was the regular week
ly assembly of the Association. Keen
interest was manifest in the meeting
and the Association is growing In
