WANT MORE MEN

Citizens of Delaware City have griev-
ance against the government, the con-
tention being that more attention is be-
ing devoted to Fort Mott, on the Jersey
side OF the river, than is given Fort du-
Pont and Fort Delaware, on the Della
ware side. AS a result Of this agitation,
United Stases Senator L. Holster Ball,
accompanied by delegation OF Della
ware City citizens, Tuesday made an IN
spection of the forts.
The chief objection OF the citizens ap-
pears to be that not enough men are sta
toned at the forts on the Delaware side
OF the river. But two companies OF
troops are stationed at Fort DUPONT While
it is intended that four companies should
be in service there.
