An affidavit, signed by 80 survivors
of the Fifth and Sixth Delaware ReRi-
ments, has been forwarded to Washing
ton, giving additional information
concerning the tenn of service Of ths
members of those regiments. Accord
ing to the affidavit, the regiments were
IN continuous service for about nine
months, and the members were compel
led to drill regularly, three times a
week, until they werosordered to do duty
at various points outside of the State.
Ae has been stated, the government
has mot 30 far permitted the mem hers
OF those regiments TO receive pensions
under the service pension regulations,
on the ground that they were not in
service sufficient length of time,
while the men claim that they were
that they we're regularly enlisted and
practically on duty for about nine
months.
The regiments were mustered in the
latter part of November, 1852, by q
regular army oihceT, aa a branch of
the Union forces, but, as they were not
needed Immediately, the mem bers we're
not rsquirad to 90 away from the oity
until the Gettysburg scare, as result
OF which the regiments we're split NJ

directions, the latter part of June,
1883, some going 10 Fort Delaware,
some along the Cheeapeake & Delaware
canal, some to Baltimore, some to
Town Point and some to other Places
On their return, which was early in
august, 1853, they we're mustered out,
and the government gave them credit
for only 81 days of service, the length
Of time they we're actually out of the
State.
lt has been learned that while the
two regiments referred to have so far
been beyond the pale of the pension
act, several regiments Of militia from
Western states have been given the
right to participate in the distribution
of pensions, the result Of acts OF Con-
gress in 1895. The Fifth and Sixth
Delaware we're not militia regiments.
Those who are interested believe
that, with this latest information,
which gives all Of the details, there
will be little difficulty about the bill
being passed. The affidavit has been
forwarded to Congressman II. r. bur
tion, who introduced the bill in the
House Of Representatives.

An interview with him today in regard

From the heart OF the famine dis.
trict came the second division Of the
japanese Army, known as The
division which always attacked 1t
exempliiied in its character the fine
and simple qualities of the people
OF the Sandal country, their loyalty,
pride, courage, industry, and ecu a.
tility of temper. The second OF the
divisions to leave Japan for the iield, It
marched through Corea in midwinter
TO the battle Of the Yalu, and il was
the strong dependable arm of General
Kuroki's army which never gave
ground TO the close of the campaign.
Not until December and January
Of this year, the third winter since
their departure, would transportation
arrangements permit tho Division 3
departure from Manchuria, which was
a bleak and inhospitable land to these
simple country boys who were ac-
customed TO their own beautiful land
scape, their clean mats and orna-
mental gardens. No heroes ever re-
ceived a sadder welcome home for they
returned to find their mothers and sis.
ters and wives wanting food. The
absence of the men who had served
their country so we'll meant the absence
of 80 many able. bodied tIllers Of the
soil This an1 = cold and unusually
rainy summer made the rice crop the
scantest for generations.
These proud northern people have
not the facility Of city people in accept
ing charity. IL you went into their
houses you would find that they would
deny that they we're hungry and posi-
bly, ofier you their last bowl Of rice TO
show that they needed no help. The
home department of the Japanese
government Is taking measures of
practical relief by Offering employment
on public works which will increase
the acreage for rice growing and other
wise improve the agricultural resources
OF the region. The opportunity is
offered for foreigners to supplement
government aid by private aid which
will be sympathetically and practically
administered through the japanese Red
Gross Society. II it be the duty OF
the he'd Cross TO soften the cruel oon-
sequences of war, then It has here
duty as imperative RH under the
more sensational surroundings Of the
hattleiields. -
lt will be necessary TO keep these
people supplied with ffood until the
rice cron of next September is harvest.

Toward the end Of the Eighteenth
Century . Frsnchman much interested
in improving the condition Of the blind
discovered that by using embossed
characters on paper the blind could be
taught to read with their handa Since
that time many others have become
interested in the reading Of the blind
and many systems Of embossed char
nuters have been invented and used
with more or less success. The use OF
such books has been limited In the
lpaat almost wholly 90 those who could
afford 20 buy the books. As they are
laomeWhat expensive, very few blind
persons have had the benefit Of read
ing themselves.
During the past five years or more,
the libraries in the large cities have
interested themselves in the condition
Of the blind and have circulated among
them books In raised letters. In some
lcities, notably in Philadelphia, the
library provides teachers for those
who are not familiar with any Of the
different systems.
Up to the present time it has not
bsen feasible for the Wilmington In
atitute Free Library to attempt TO sup
ply the blind OF Wilmington with books
IN raised characters, because 10 has
been impossible to get anyone to serve
hs a teacher. However, as a result
,of tho kindness Of one who is greatly
interested in the condition of the
blind, this difficulty has been overcome
and II . sufficient number Of blind IN
dicats q desire TO read with their hands
and to borrow booSs from the library,
instruction will be given free Of charge
and the library will get sufficient books
20 supply the demand.
II . earnestly requested that all
blind persons Who wish to learn to
read or who are already able to do 30
will send their names and addresses
TO the librarian. IL is also requested
that any person knowing about blind
persons will send their names and ad-
dressen 90 that full list Of all the
blind in Wilmington can be kept on
Ole nt the library.
