The gathering is notable because of many problems awaiting attention and because of engrossing activities which have marked the last year among ; members of this denomination. Preliminary to other matters clergy and lay delegates met in the parish house of the church last night, ap- ; plauded vigorously the announcement of Bishop Murray that Maryland had ; oversubscribed its quota in the recent nation-wide campaign, a total of $848,- 000 having been pledged as against the SBIO,OOO assigned to this diocese. The! Bishop called the service a “ratifica tion meeting” and reported at length j the achievements of the individual j parishes, all save three having made their final report. Immediately after the communion service today the Bishop read his an- ] nual address, which was awaited with keen Interest because of the many f topics of pressing interest and import ance upon which his dictum was ex-j pected.

Thief Gets Away With Jewels Valued at Over SI,OOO in Earlv, 'l Morning Robbery at Murray Hill 1 j Jewelry consisting of four or five : diamond rings, solitaires and clus ters, valued at over SI,OOO, made up ‘the booty of a thief, who some time between 3 and 4 o'clock this morn ing burglarized the residence of Mrs. J. S. Bowdoin, No. 43 Franklin street, Murray Hill. Tthe robbery was ! promptly reported to city police ! headquarters, and chief Charles Obery and his corps of patrolman began an j investigation, although they have no working clue, other than a meagre i description of the man, furnished by Miss Elizabeth Nott who was visiting Mrs. Bowdoin, am: who was aroused and spread the alarm. Mrs. Bowdoin and family who only ! moved to Annapolis last fall, live in | the house owned by Captain Marble, of the Navy. Speaking of the robbery . this morning, Miss Nott stated that she was aroused from her sleep along about 3.30 o'clock, by a rustling noise SUCCESS ATTENDS FIRS! CH. CAMPAIGN The evangelistic campaign now go ing on at First Methodist Episcopal (Church, opposite the State House, is proving most successful. Fifty-three persons were received into the church last Sunday tnorn ] ing, and It is expected that a very large group will le received next Sunday morning. Ten persons were received as members of the church' during the preliminary program for the campaign. The attendances have been remarkably fine considering the unfavorable weather. The series comes to a climax tomorrow night ] when Dr. William H. Morgan, pastor jof First Church, Baltimore, and un itil recently pastor of Calvary Church, New York city, will be the speaker. ' Dr. Morgan has also for many years been the leader of the young people’s meeting at Ocean Grove, New Jersey. He is one of Methodism’s noted ora tors; a forceful speaker in every sense and every inch a man's preacher. Anthony W. Bennett, of Baltimore, the singing evangelist, will have charge of the music. Mr. Bennett is 4 very popular in Annapolis, and is rendering fine service in the present campaign. This particular meeting of the campaign is under the direc tion of the Wesley Brotherhood of First Church. Everybody is cordially ! invited to be present. The evangel istic campaign will {probably close on next Sunday night. On Friday night Rev. A. E. Owens, of Trinity Meihidost Episcopal Church. South, this city, will be the ! preacher.

One provides for increasing the membership of the j County Board of Education from 3 to 6, two of the increased members to be , women. A bill carrying these same provisions was introduced at the last 1 session of the Legislature by Dele gate Linthicum but failed of passage. The other bill provides for abolish ing the office of Police Justice for the Second district, the special jurisdie j tion of which is now the Eastport. I Germantown and other surburban neighborhoods. Robb Combs is the present incumbent. It is understood that Senator Brady also has a bill affecting this office, but that it proposes a fee basis of self support, instead of salary, and not to abolish it altogether. SPECIAL MEETING TO ! CONSIDER LEGISLATION For the purpose of giving further consideration of matters of legisla tion affecting the county, the County Commissioners will hold a special meeting in the Court House Friday jof this week, beginning at 10.30 p’clock. at which the Senator and raem ilers of the House of Delegates are especially invited to be present. Among the chief matters up for consideration will be roads; also the offices of police magistrates for the Second and the Fourth districts, which are frequently referred to as being unnecessary’ offices; the amount to be fined for the pay of prisoners ; at the jail; the question of having as j sessiuent of property changed before Ij deeds are received for record, and 'jother matters of public interest.

C.A.; Enthusiastic Meeting of All Committees Held At Head quarters on Monday NEW LEADERS SECURED An enthusiastic meeting of all Y. W. j C. A. committees was held at head-j quarters Monday afternoon at 3j o’clock. After the reading of a pas-! sage and prayer bv Mrs. Theodore i Johnson, chairman of the Provisional Committee, the treasurer's report was called for. This was followed by a most interesting account from Miss McGregor of general activities during the month. Miss McGregar spoke first | of the Sunday afternoons for young people, planned by Mrs. Carpentier,; and most successfully carried out; the' work for the present being taken care} of by the tea service committee, assist- j ed by the girls’ work committee. The ■ living room at the Y. W. C. A. has been made use of for these community serv-j ice committee meetings, and one meet-j ing of tile Mothers’ Circle. Various! emergency calls have been met in a j helpful way. Mrs. Montgomery, who; lias given so much time and thought to] the room registry bureau and other', activities, has most generously loaned j chairs and a picture, and prese ued; over one hundred books to the library. [ Miss Leonard’s report showed mat she had secured three new leaders tor girls’ work, the Misses Scott and Miss Cluverius. Mrs. St. George Barber, county me m bership chairman, had five senior and one junior member to report, making a j total of seventy-two senior and twen-j ty-seven junior members. It is the! that the ninety and nine will speedily I be increased to one hnudred. Five town members have been added during the month. It was not necessary for Mrs. Daeh-'. iell, chairman of the house committee,! to call attention to the work of her de-1 partment as everyone had been admir ing the new paper and paint. All of: the rooms upstairs have been re-paper-: ed and painted and some work done on the first floor. For all of this and also i the installation of a steam table in the] cafeteria and a sink under the stair- J way. National headquarters provides the funds. The members of the as,°o-; ciation feel most grateful far this help ' All of the bedrooms are rented and the receipts provide for the upkeep o. the building. The room registry bureau, Mr 3. Ed ward Darlington Johnson chairman, reported many rooms rented through the bureau. No charge is made for this service, which is much appre ciated by both the hostess and those seeking accommodations. Ninety-seven girls were placed for the New Year’s hop alone. When “The Log” came out the following week it contained an ar- ( tide full of praise for the Y. W. C. A., because of the help of the registry bureau had been to perturbed midship men who previously had paced the streets seeking rooms for fair maidens and their chaperones. And the midshipmen are by no means the only ones benefited by this ! service, as many requests for rooms i come from those who wish permanent accommodations. Mr 3. Linthicum, chairman of the cafeteria committee, announced that] all service is now a la carte, except j that the school childrens’ lunch for 25 cents will be continued. The success of the inauguration day luncheon serv-j ed to the Governor’s Guards of one hundred men was touched upon. Mrs. Robert Moss reported that the; deed transferring the building prop- j erty to the Y. W. C. A. is prepared and ready to sign. The date of the meeting has been! ] changed to the Monday nearest the] tenth of each month. On this day the ! Provisional Committee meeting will be held at 3 o’clock, followed by the gen eral committee meeting at four. It was a delightful surprise to many present to learn from Mrs. Rippere that “Cho-Cho,” the wonderful health .clown, will be in Annapolis next Mon day at the Republic theatre, and that | all school children, from both town, and county, are to have a chance to see and herr him at either the morning or afternoon performance. Members of the various committees will make special contributions in or-: dcr to pay all expenses and furnish j this treai free to all the school chil-; dren Annapolis.

BOLSHEVISM IS LEIiIEISM. SAYS AUTHOR-LECTURER Dr. George Meade Urges That Constitution Of United States Be Taught In Public Schools Involves Our Well Being—ll lustrated By Map NO HYPHENATED FLAG; BUT OUR REAL FLAG| j Showing from a map composed of I four circles, the larger representing the “people,” tile other the "legisla i tive," the “judiciary,” the “executive" ! departments of the Constitution of the | United States, .and the triangle eon j neeting the three circles, the check i each places upon the other, I)r George j Meade, author and lecturer, gave a | most interesting and instructive ad | dress last evening in the Presbyterian Church. j Seldom is it the good fortune of an ; audience to hear so much of an in ! structive, historical nature in a given i time, presented in such a happily ex j pressed manner. Dr. Meade proved ‘himself thoroughly conversant with his subject, and able to handle it in a j masterful fashion. His subject was !“Bolshevism; Are We Heady For a | Revolution?” The subject alone spoke | its importance to the Constitution of ' the United States, and the well being < of the government involved. The lecturer said he was not an alarmist, and faced a future without i | fear. He said he believes in the Ameri- . can people and in their deep feeling for humanity and devotion to country, < which he said is sure to solve the great i question now pressing to be solved. The problem should be met intelligent- < ly, he said, and in the spirit of reason ing together. He reviewed the present conditions of affairs, industrial rela | tions, disturbances, the great feeling i of unrest seething over the country at this time, all brought about by the ag gregation going about telling that labor is being robbed by capital, i j Workers are not happy, but discon i tented. They are told to confiscate property, to take control of industry and all machinery of State, and to con j vert this government to that similar to Russia. Bolshevism is a word brought into use in 1903. In the Russian language !it means simply “larger.” Dr. Meade described Bolshevik and Bolshevism, and said Bolshevism is synonymous "Lenine-ism.” He spoke of the groups of Bolsheviks, some of whom consti tuted 125,000 men, under the director ship and dictatorship of one man. The Bolshevik government is opposed to democratization; being against a democratic form of government. He 1 said it is a sad and pathetic state of things in our country that permits the ! poor laboring man to be delued into opposing the Constitution of the United States. Bolshevism is dictator ship, rule of a small group or a class over 180.000,000 of people of Russia— centralized government, inverted i Czarism, an autocracy, absolute.
