ARMY OFFICERS OF
ANNAPOLIS AND STATE
AT MACKINTOSH, K.
John R. Kaiser, of Annapolis, re
cently commissioned an a Lieutenant
of the Seventh Infantry, United
States Regular Army, accompanied
by his family, left Annapolis today
for Camp .Mackintosh, Laredo. Tex,
where the regiment is assigned to
duty.
The arrival < f Lieut. Kaiser at
Iredo, will add to the interesting
group of officers, some from Annapo
lis, others well known here and still
others from different parts of Mary
land, now assigned to the Seventeenth
Infantry. That regiment, in fact is
known as a Maryland Regiment, since
the reorganization of the Army, ow
ing to the fact that it is composed of
so many officers and men of the One
Hundred and Fifteenth Infantry who
saw service in the world war.
There are now at Camp Mackin
tosh, Captain D. Murray Cheston, of
Anne Arundel county, one time com
mandant of Cadets at St. John’s Col
lege; Capt. R. Graham Moss, son of
Judge and Mrs. Robert Moss, of An
napolis; Capt. Thornton Rodtersf of
Baltimore, and Captain Hayward,also
a Maryland otßcer.
TAKES ADVANTAGE OF
FREE FLIGHT OFFER
Lieut -Commander P. A. Stevens, U
S. X , is the tirst person to take ad
vantage of the offer of the Strange
Motor Car Company, of West street, In
their novel advertising proposition,
by which the purchaser of an auto
mobile from them is given a ride over
Annapolis and the Chesapeake Bay in
the plane of Lieut. Ewing Easters, of
the Severn River Curtiss Flying Sta
tion.
As the first purchaser after the of
fer fas made by the automobile deal
ers. Commander Stevens enjoyed a
long flight and was enthusiastic about
the sensation of flying. The airplane
flights will be continued by the
Strange Company as an advertising
novelty, and several others will
doubtless take advantage of the oppor
tunity to make the trip.

RITCHIE TALKS LEAGUE
AT WOMAN'S MEETING
Governor Ritchie attended the par
lor political meeting held yesterday
morning at the home of Miss Kate
MeLane, 211 West Monument street.
Baltimore. Mrs. Edward Shoemaker
was chairman of the meeting and gave
a shorttalk on the meaning of the
League of Nations.
Governor Ritchie then addressed
the gathering, discussing the League
of Nations and comparing the records
of the two presidential candidates.
He said that a great deal depended
upon the orderly affairs of the gov
ernment and upon the character of
men elected to run the country's af
fairs. After making a comparison of
the records of Senator Harding and
Governor Cox, he declared that the
important thing in the campaign was
not the man elected, but the issue of
the campaign, the League.
FLEET OF DESTROYERS
AND SUBMARINES HERE
The waters of Severn river took on
a war-like appearance this morning
when more than a dozen ships of the
Navy, in their dull gray paint, steamed
in. The visiting vessels are 10 of the
latest type of torpedo boat destroyers
which comprise the fifth division of
the Atlantic fleet, and seven modern
submarines, which comprise the eighth
division, also attached to the Atlantic
fleet.
The vessels are out on a run from
their temporary base at Hampton
Roads, and attracted much attention
as they came into the river, one by
one this morning. Both squadrons
will remain over until tomorrow. The
officers and men aboard the several
craft, incidentally had the opportu
nity of witnessing the Navy-Bucknell
football game this afternoon.

li YEAR'S MOTOR TRAFFIC!
j
Report Of Commissioner Baugh
j man Shows 37 Per Cent. More
, Licenses Were Issued
' ' ■ 7
RECEIPTS OVER $2,000,000
The report of Automobile Comniis-t
sioner Baughman fur the fiscal year,
? I ended May 2u. IF*2O. shows a substan
tial increase in receipts, as compared
with the previous fiscal year.- and a
decrease in expenses. The gross re
’ ceipts were $2,051,135,07. which was j
! an increase of $360,441 64. or 21.5 per|
' cent. The expenses were $163,417.78, j
■ as compared with 165,626.99 in the
previous year, a saving of, $5,209.21. j
Mr. Baughman also reported that j
while the total number of licenses of
ail kinds issued during the year was
318.315, which was an increase of 37.6;
per cent, over the previous year, the
number of deaths resulting from au
tomobile accidents decreased. There,
were 151 such deaths in the last fiscal j
year, which was 52 less than in the;
r previous year.
Prosperity Pointed Out
Speaking of the increase in motor,
traffic in the State. Mr. Baughman j
said ,in his letter to the Governro, |
transmitting the report:
The post-war conditions are
well known to yqu, and the in
creased prices of motor vehicles
and the corresponding increase in
the cost of maintenance, instead
of reducing the number of ma- j
chines in use, has had very little |
influence on the percentage of
'increase. This is no doubt due lo
the prosperity of the rural sec
tions of the State and the high
scale of wages for the laboring
man.
Part of the increase is also at
tributable to the growing use of
the motortruck as a means of
transportation. The railroad situ
ation has necessitated the employ
ment of large fleets of motor
trucks by various corporations in
order to move perishable and es
sential products from one city to
another. In fact, the number of
motortrucks which are now using
our highways, primarily designed
for only light passenger car traf
fic, is a serious problem.
Congestion On High ways
Many of our main arteries are
greatly congested by the motor
trucks which necessarily, due to
their construction, must move at a
lower rate of speed than other
traffic. In fact, on many of our
main highways traffic is becoming
so congested that one is forced to
move at a lower rate of speed
than is necessary to comply with
. our State speed law.
Mr. Baughman said that the num
ber of cases tried in his office for vio
lations of the traffic laws was 3,052, as
against 4.200 in the previous year.
MIDDIES CLASH
WITH BUGIELL Oil
Mill TODAY
i The football teams of the Naval
Academy and Bucknell University, ot
I Lewisburg. Pa., are this afternoon en
. gaged in their annual combat on the
s gridiron of Farragut field on the giv
? eminent reservation. Play was sched
-1 uled to start promptly at 2 30 o'clock,
as the visitors were all ready for the
fray, having arrived in the city last
night, and are the guests of the mid
-9 shipmen at the Academy.
7 Flush with a4Sto 0 victory over the
j. eleven of Ursinus College, of Pennsyl
t vania, the Bucknellians were full ot
“pep” and confidence for the battle
against the middies, and every indica
tion pointed to a hard fight. With
Clyde King, the veteran right tackle
back in the game again having had
sufficient training since his return
from Antwerp where he stroked the
Navy eight-oarded crew to victory in
the world's aquatic classic, the mid
e dies put idko the field today an even
more powerful combination than that
s which faced the strong Lafayette ele
ven last Saturday. Coach “Bob” Fol
well picked his team during the early
part of the week and they have been
“ driven hard in the practice scrim
mages each afternoon with the exeep
* tion of yesterday, when the work waF
devoted almost entirely to signal and
formation drills, and punting and
kicking practice in other departments.
JThe Navy line-up for the game was
announced as follows: Parr, left end;
Bolies, left tackle; Willkie, left
guard; Larsen, centre; Moore, right
guard; King, right tackle; Ewen,
(Captain)fright end; Cruise, quarter
back; Noyes, left halfback; Koehler,
2 right halfback, and Barcbet, fullback.

MOVIE SHOW TO BE FOR
BENEFIT OF HOSPITAL
!
j Tuesday night has been set aside by
j the Circle Playhouse as a benefit night
j for the Emergency Hospital, and the
I proceeds of the evening's performance
; will be turned over to the fund that is
j being raised for the support of tlu
j local institution of mercy. A pleasing
| program has been arranged for the
j evening, and has been made to fit the
j cause as well as to present the regu
lar performance for the night.
Deeming it apropos to show a pic
ture concerning the Red 'Cross, the
hospital committee has secured from
Washington headquarters a special
picture, entitled “In the Footsteps of
Florence Nightingale.” showing the
progress and growth of the Red Cross
from the time of its foundation and
•he original relief work in India. The
picture follows up the history ot
nursing as a profession for women,
and tells a great deal of the difficulty
that has been encountered and over
came.
Besides the Red Cross picture for
the evening, the regular films for the
day’s show at the Circle Playhouse
will be presen fed.

Although the reports this week are
more encouraging, there is still a need
for more individual interest in the
campaign by the citizens of Annapolis.
A few people in each ward, compara
tively. are contributing what they
can, whereas a small amount pledged
from every family would materially
lighten the financial burden f the
hospital. The campaign ends Octo

RITCHIE PROCLAIMS
I 0CT.24 AS "LEAGUE
OF NATIONS" DAY
Takes Issue With Governor
Coolidge. O f Massachusetts,
| By Setting Sunday Apart As
• Time For All Parties To Make
Study Of Covenant
MARYLAND EXECUTIVE
EXPLAINS HIS VIEW
Taking issue with Governor Cool
idge. of Massachusetts. Republican
candidate for Vice-President at the
coming election. Governor Ritchie
last night decided to accede to a re
quest made of him and issued his
prodn iation fixing next Sunday, Oc
j tober 14. as a day on which the peo
ple of the State are urged to "read
| and -t’.tdy the covenant of the League
if Nations." to the end that they may
i be "better able to east their ballots
wisely and intelligently." in the com
ing election.
Governor Ritchie's action followed a
request made of the executive* of all
Stat"S by prominent men of both po
litical parties, headed by President
Lowell, of Harvard University. Gov
ernor Coolidge declined to make such
a proclamation, declaring that to do
so would In* giving official sanction
to political issue.
Ritchie Makes Statement
“t have received the request from
the committee headed by President
Love!), asking me to proclaim Sun
day, October 24, as a day upon which
the people of this State are urged to
read and study the League of Nations,
to 'lie end that they may the better
understand that document ami thus
vote more intelligently
' I fail entirely to see the force of
In views, expressed bv some, that
; th s would give official sanction to a
political Issue.
I may be true that the Governor
should not officially urge the reading
of the covenant in particular places,
sud, as the churches and the schools;
bn* only to urge that the document
