This Is the second Instance recently re ported of German merchant vessels being captured In the' North Sea. Presumably these ships wore en route to Scandinavia for German supplies The recent falling Off In Scandinavian sailings, due to heavy losses of ship'' and desire of ship owners to save their vessels by keeping them In port, may be forcing Germany to take great Chances to gM much-needed rupp'les.

SUES DECAUSE OF INJURIES Injuries received on a Jitney ride In 1915 were the basis of a BUlt entered before the Supreme Court of New Jersey In Camden today by Albert H.

In 1916 a contract was let to the Rich mond Construction Company for a school house In Wlldwood City.

One hundred and fifty army ofTlcers, Government olllclals and civilian residents from the town and sur rounding districts were present. The celc- Dration was commemorative of the Four teenth of July, Krance'n national holiday.

This wns the first public and oMlclal state ment from Alsatian sources made since tho war began It solemly reiterated the age old desire of Alsace to return under the banner of the French republic It Is therefore a significant and Important repudiation of Ocrman falsehoods to the effect that Alsace is tired of the war and desires to'remaln In the German fold.

S. Marshal BALTlMOIti:. Md, July 17. Iteer and whisky by tho wagonload are being dumped at Camp Meade, Anne Arundel County, while county officials and politicians look on with supine tolerance, according to Pnlted States Marshal Stockham today. De claring that he was astounded at tho "tr rlbly deplorable" conditions at the encamp ment, he asserted that he would take alt of his deputies to the spot and make wholesale arrests In an effort to stop It. Tho marshal's excoriation came after he, with four deputies and two headquarters detectives made a raid last night on the general store of Charles H. Zepp, at Oden ton. In which 28,000 bottles of beer, besides tho proprietor. Charles H. Zepp, and his clerk, Arthur Hell, were captured. "Never tn my life have I witnessed con ditions that prevail at that contonment," said the marshal as he emerged from an all-morning session with Pnlted States Dis trict Attorney Dennis "The amount of booze that's coming Into Admiral Is astounding. "I have no quarrel with the officials and politicians of Anne Arundel County," con tinued the marshal, "but I serve notice on them that I Intend to clean out that encampment of every ounce of booze In It nnd I will have the army ofllcers' co-operation. "This is, war time, nnd I do not propose to bo frustrated by a few politicians." BesIdeH the beer, the raiding party har vested twenty-nine barrels of empty beer bottles and other evidences which the Gov ernment ngonts refused to divulge. Two soldiers carrying a package, who were stopped by the marshal, admitted that they had bott ed beer. The soldiers, according to the marshal. Identified Zepp as the man who had sold them the beer. Importation of beer and whisky Into the encampment was blamed today on trouble that cropped out at Camp Maude. The trouble, which at first threatened to reach ttrlous proportions, was quelled when a group of six Italians said .to be the ring leaders were escorted back to Baltimore under an armed guard. Thirty Italian workers, disliking the pres ence of negro laborers, tried to oust them. A foreman was notified, and he communi cated with Major Proctor, and a detach ment from Company L of the Fifth Regi ment corralled (he Italians. The laboring force at tho cantonment was augmented today by additional gangs of workmen from this city, Annapolis and Washington, and work of construction Is going on with re doubled vigor. ,... f -vi,;.i. , l.v,-jl PURE i. j FRESH PAINT BeeveAfe All our paint measures up to a standard.

Men Why You Should Always Insure Your oaggage The summer travel season is the time of greatest danger to baggage numerous losses arc bound to occur. Thieves are active, hotel fires frequent, acci dents and losses in transportation are common and over none of these risks can you exercise much control. In your home you can be careful, yet even there you insure your goods. But when traveling, your baggage is at the mercy of chance. Transportation, companies are only liable for baggage while in their custody, and then only partly responsible. Hotels assume little responsi bility. In cither case you may possibly recover only a, nominal amount, and then only after vexatious delays and annoyances. Why risk a loss when a NORTH AMERICA baggage policy at very little cost will pay you promptly? It insures your baggage and effects wherever they may be from the moment they leave your home until their return. The sensible and economical way is to carry a yearly policy You hardly realize how often you need it. It covers the personal effects of yourself and family while away from home at the office golf or country club, at school or college, etc., and while traveling" for business or pleasure. Remember, your cliance of loss1 is just-as great on a day's trip as it is on a long tqur. See your agent today, or 'phone for full information to Downtown Office 3d & Walnut Sts.
