DELAWARE LOYAL.
Delaware Legislature to Follow the Lead
Of Other States and Appropriate
Money For War Purposes.

psiaw,re is making preparations TOR war
II such a thing happens. Authority will
be given the National Government
to purchase land in Delaware,
upon which forts can be erected.
1t is probable that Governor Tunnel
will call the attention of the Legislature
to the fact that other Staes have set
aside o special fund for the militia In case
their services are needed. Delaware has
only 800 militia and it will not require
anything like the amount appropriated by
legislatures OF other States. The present
plan Is to set aside from $4,000 to 500, 900
subject to the call of the governor. IL war
Ia declared Governor Tunnel will through
Adjutant General Hart offer the services
OF the militia to the National Government
and the offer will undoubtedly be accepted
at once.
The militia of New Jersey will mobilize
at Sea Girt. while Ohio aud New York
militia will do the same in their States.
The Penney lvania militia can be gotten
together at any given point very quickly.
The second bill to DO introduced in the
Legislature will give the consent Of the
General Assembly to the National Govern
ment to purchase in Delaware any tract of
land not exceeding 100 acres to be used for
the erection Of forts arsenals, magazines
or other needed buildings. Without such
consent the Navy or War Departments
could not come in to this State and secure
laud that it would need in case of war.
Sunday Adjutant General Hart held
conference with Colonel Wickersham,
Lieutenant Stevenson and the other regi-
mental officers to consult on plans
in the event of sudden call. Con-
siderable ammunition has been received
at the Armory.
