MILITIA IN SHAPE FOR
WAR AT ALL TIMESIS PLAN

Governor Pennewill has received a
letter from Acting Secretary of War
Oliver, detailing a complete plan for
the organization of all state militia
troops into tactical divisions. in the
same fashion as the regular Army is
being organized into tactical units.
The militia of Delaware is. Of
course, affected by this plan, and
tables have been prepared at the War
Department showing exactly to what
extent the state Will participate in
the new organization
The plan of the War Department,
prepared by the Division Of Militia
Affairs. is to anticipate work that
would have to be done in time of war.
It is believed that with both the mill
tia and the regular army a greater
degree of preparedness can be achiev-
ed by tactical organization of the
militia now, rather than waiting until
hOstilities are imminent, where there
are thousands OF other details to be
attended to.
II is proposed to make 10 tactical
divisions. The Delaware militia is
included i'm the Eighth division, which
also includes the militia OF the States
of New Jersey Maryland. Virginia
and West Virginia and the District of
Columbia Headquarters for the di-
vision Will be at Washington.
The entire division will consist of
three regiments of infantry from New
Jersey, First Brigade; two regiments
OF infantry from New Jersey and one
from Delaware, Second Brigade; three
regiments of infantry from Maryland
Third Brigade; three regiments from
Virginia and two from West Virginia
Fourth Brigade; two troops of cavalry
from New Jersey and one from Mary
land, cavalry troops: two batteries OF
field artillery from New Jersey and
three from Virginia; one company OF
signal troops from New Jersey and
five regiments from all sources in the
states in the division which will be
used as additional troops in the forma-
tion of field armies. The troops oi
the District of Columbia will he used
for this purpose. The Eighth division
will have no engineer companies and
no ambulance companies New Jersey
however, will contribute one field hos.
pital
Il is hoped that the several states
will find it possible TO supply dehcien-
cies i'm their organizations. so that each

HOUSEHOLD NOTES

A thorough whitewashing should be
given every cellar at least once
year
busters should be washed often,
then dipped in kerosene and dried in
the open air.
Very little bluing should be used
In washing laces, because the lace
absorbs a great deal of blue.
A delicious sandwich is made Of

A good polish for white canvas
shoes is made with ordinary lump
starch mixed with sufficient water TO
make thin paste.
Left overs of fish can be safely kept
in the refrigerator by putting them
in fruit lar with rubber and sealing
them tightly.
When darning a stocking try put

more satisfactory than darning il over

When mice trouble you. hunt their

may contribute to a more complete
organization IN tactical divisions.
Adjutant-General l. Pusey Wicker
sham today was asked about the eff
feet of the new plan upon the organ
ized militia OF Delaware. He said the
letter of Acting Secretary Of War
Oliver, with other data accompanying
it. had not been turned over to him,
and until he has considered the plan
carefully he did not care to discuss it.
There is a belief among some per-
sons who have looked into the subject
that one outcome of the formation of
militia divisions will be that the Del
aware militia will be called upon at
times to go into mobilization camp
with the militia of New Jersey, Mary
land, Virginia, West Virginia and the
District of Columbia, and participate
in field maneuvers
Acting Secretary divers letter to
Governor Pennewill says in part
"ln developing the questions involv-
ed in the mobilization of these twelve
divisions of the organized militia it Is
planned to detail an inspector-instruc-
tor for those divisions made up of or
ganizatiOns from more than one State.
The duties of these nspector-instruc-
tors will be limited chiefly to those
matters connected with the mobiliza-
tion of the divisions for active field
duty under the federal government.
and will include the drawing up of
plans for the organization of any vol
unteer units which might be needed
to complete the divisions.
"War materials for the organized
militia will be distributed and stor-
ed in suitable depots, so as to be at
hand locally when mobilization is or
dered. the principle being to gradu-
ally decentralize as far as practical
bic in all matters connected with the
war employment of this force
"The department especially desires
your aid and cooperation in develop
ing the plan of organization, and sub
mits Il for your examination, with the
request that you inform the depart
ment if the arrangements proposed
for the militia Of your state arc In
accord with your views. or, If not
in what particular you would suggest
improvement"

that the firemen had difficulty con-
trolling it.
Mr.. Zimmerman was overcome by
smoke at the beginning Of the bat
tie with the flames. He, with William
Lutz, James Houton and Frank Har-
ris, all members of the Fame COM
pany, were dragging a line OF hose
up a narrow passageway toward the
Sklut stable when the wind swept
through the structure and carried a
dense cloud of smoke down on them
All were blinded and nearly sutfo-
Gated and Zimmerman fell uncon-
scious. His companions dropped the
hose and gathering his up, carried him
to place of safety. Efforts were made
to revive the Councilman on the scene
but they were unavailing and the DO
lice patrol took the unconscious man
to his home.
The wind carried the flames dan
gerously near the main building of
the leather plant and the firemen
we're driven to their utmost TO save
teh big plant.
After the ruins had cooled off sufii-
ciently to allow the firemen to eX-
plOre them, Harris, a member of the
Fame company stumbled over the
charred remains OF Hamlin. While the
body was burned beyond recognition
Mr.. Sklut was sure the corpse was that
of Hamlin who had been at his house
late in the afternoon. He said the
man would have been at the fire had
he been alive. Hamlin came here
from Richmond, Va, and was former
ly employed as fireman on the C. &

To add TO the excitement sparks
from one OF the fire engines ignited

The cottage of Mrs. James h Hoop
er was damaged to the extent OF ST.

Careful estimates place the entire
loss at $4,000. with about $4,000 in
surauce.

gines OF the Rehoboth Fire Depart

ter Robinson. OF Rehoboth, towed the
hook and ladder with his automobile.
He made the round trip with the ap-
paratus-on the return journey in fifty
i've minutes
The fire attracted fully five hundred
persons from Lewes and other near
by places who aided In battling the
flames. Had the wind been stronger.
other properties would undoubtedly
have ignited. A stable in the rear of
Dr. VOLTS cottage was also burned.
Tho FIRE was extinguished at eleven
o'clock. having burned four hours.
Most of the furniture Of all the cot
tages excepting the Cooper cottage
was saved
The Cooper cottage. in which the
fire started. was closed the latter part
of August after the summer season
and has not been occupied since This
leads TO a belief that iirebug started
that blaze. Most OF the cottages i'm
kehoboth are closed, and the per-
manent residents turned out and
raliantly battled with the flames until
the Lewes residents and fire depart
ment joined them. Mrs II. G. PEN

Is the mother OF Rober Pennington,
the Wilmington lawyer. The Cooper
cttage formerly was owned by Mr.. C..

Because of the fires II is expected
that the next legislature will be asked
to authorize a bond issue for the in
