Belgian Relief Work.

the Belgian Relief Committee of
this city, of which DR.. J. Gibson
Petrie is chairman, forwarded a fine
lot of things for the people in that
land.
The first box contained 225 gar
ments, for children, and included
several pairs of new shoes.
This box was sent to the Woman
Committee of the Children's FEEDER
alton of Philadelphia, and they in
turn loaded it on the Christmas ship
which sailed from that port.
This box was gratefully acknow-
lodged by Marie R. Robins, chair
man of the committee, who said:
The Child Federation desires to
send its cordial acknowledgement of
the large contribution sent through
you to the Christmas ship.
The response to the original ap-
peal has been far bepond our ex-
pectations. The articles were all
carefully chosen, and in most cases
very appropriate.
We have received Sc, 140.41, and
have forwarded 10000 articles to
the Ship Jason.
We may be sure that many un
fortunates will be cheered not only
by the physical comfort which comes
to them, but also by the beautiful
spirit of sympathy which prompted
the sending of the gifts
The second box contained 218 gar
ments, some new; mostly good Sec
ond-hand clothing, and several pairs
of shoes, new.
This box was sent through Mrs.
Judson, of Philadelphia, to ]. Navaux,
Milton House, s and 9 Chenwell
street, London, for distribution.
A total of S22.50 in cash was
donated, most of which was ex-

for the Christmas ship box.
Other boxes will be packed and
shipped from time to time during
the winter. Miss Isabella Scott, al
Clinton Street, receives the dona-
tons in this city on behalf of the

Postal Savings Growing Rapidly.

The war in Europe is proving a
big boon to postal savings in this
country. From the very day hostil-
tiles opened across the seas postal
savings receipts began to increase
by leaps and bounds and Withdrawals
fell off, a result quite contrary to
the predictions of many well-inform-
ed persons who, in their imagination,
saw lines of feverish depositors at
post-office pay windows anxious to
again return their savings to the
bootleg and body-belt repositories
whence they came before intrusted
to Uncle Sam.
But the forecasters failed to reck-
on on the absolute confidence of the
American citizen, regardless of the
flag that first met his eyes, in the
ability and purpose of the Govern
ment to carry out its obligations,
not only among the nations of the
earth. but with the humblest citizen
of our land.
Two important results have fol-
lowed; thousands of people, largely
of foreign birth, accustomed to send
their savings abroad, are now pa
irons of our postal-savings system;
and enormous sums of actual cash
have been released for commercial
uses among our own people at
time when the need for every avail
able dollar is pressing.
The growth of postal savings in
the United States has been steady
and healthy and the system has
filled an important gap between the
tin-can depository and the factory
paymaster.
On July l, when affairs were run
ming smoothly here and abroad and
the transmission of money across
the Atlantic was safe and expedi-
tious, there was approximately S43,-
100000 of postal savings standing
to the credit of about 388,000 de-
positors.
Since then over $1O,OOO,O0O of
deposits have been added and the
number of depositors has increased
enormously.
This unprecedented gain is the
more striking when it is considered
that the net gain in the last three
months is larger than the gain for
the entire fiscal year 1914.
Scores of offices have done more
postal savings business since the
war has been going on than was
done by them during the previous
existence of the service.
The increases are confined to no
special localities, but have been
felt in every nook and corner of the
county. New York City alone made
a gain in September of more than a
million, while Brooklyn showed a
relatively big increase. Chicago re-
ported larger gain in the past
three months than for the previous
twelve months. More than 1000

Peach Crop At The Farm

There is some peach crop down
at the State Farm. Those who have
viewed the orchard speak of it as
a blue ribbon.
Not only is the appearance ex-
ceptional, the goods are being
shown. Last week the pickings av-
eraged 200 baskets a day. This
week, Monday, 700 baskets, Tues
day, 400 baskets, with prospect of
400 today. It is estimated now
that the crop will reach 5000 bas-
kets.
The bulk Of the crop is made up
OF Belle Of Georgia, Elbertas, and
few Champions.
Aside from this is the variety
orchard where almost every known
variety is being tried out. This in
cludes the experiment on tanger-
ines.
The appearance and quality of
the fruit is exceptional.
Director Hayward and Profes-
sor McCue are justly proud Of this
crop which is attracting so much
favorable attention.

The scholarship of $10O offered

THOMAS w. MILEER
Republican Candidate for Representative in Congress

announcement made by Mr. Townsend some days
ago that he would not be candidate and speaks
well for the popularity of the Selbyville leader:
MIR. Townsend appeared before the caucus and told
the delegation that it was entirely up them to
whether or not his should be presented before
the convention this afternoon. 1t was anticipated
that the Sussex delegation would insist in the pre-
sentation of his name before the convention.
The leaders were late agreeing the platform
to be presented to the convention and the full text
of it had not been released at an early hour this
afternoon. Former Governor Simeon S. Penne-
made it certain that Kent and would insist
the remaining two nominations. The Kent caucus
failed to agree on candidate for Auditor of Ac-
counts and it was reported that the caucus had de-
cided to present the names of Theodore W. Town

TOURISTS
RETURN
MIR. and Mrs. Evans OF Newark
Arrived Yesterday

Mr.. and Mrs. Charles B. Evans.
who left in July for a trip abroad
and who were in Stockholm, Swe-
den, when the war broke out, where
they were compelled to remain for
ten days, arrived home last night.
While they saw many signs Of the
great war that is now going on, es-
pecially in England from where
they sailed for this country, Mr..
and Mrs. Evans did not have any
of the thrilling experiences that
fell to the lot of thousands Of
American tourists.
The trip Of Mr.. and Mrs. Evans
was cut short because of the war
and in fact they had been in Swe-
den but short time when war
broke out. In discussing their trip
last night Mr.. Evans stated that
when they landed at Hamburg,
Germany, there was much excite
ment, it being just at the time that
Austria had made demands on
Servia. They did not think, how
ever, that there would be a war
and after a day or so in Hamburg
left for Copenhagen.
Before going to Copenhagen,
however, they sent their trunks to
Berlin, taking only their suitcases
with them to Sweden, as they ex-
pected to return to the capital of
Germany in a short time. That
was the last they ever saw of their
trunks as they went from Copen-
hagen to Stockholm and it was
while in that city that war was
started.
Mr.. Evans said they did not suf-
fer many discomforts in Stockholm
although they were compelled to
'emain there for 10 days. For
three days the banks were closed
but after that it was not hard to
get money on letters Of credit or ex-
press checks. The greatest worry
in Sweden was in finding way to
get out Of the country and to Eng
land. After the ten days they
went to Christiana where there
were 60 American tourists who
chartered a boat for New Castle,
England. This was a trip Of 50
hours and was without mishap.
Mr.. Evans explained that the
principal reason many Of the tour
lists met with hardships was be-
cause of them rushing to get the
first boats and of course all could
not be accommodated. They were
five days in England, landing at
New Castle in the chartered boat
on August II and sailed from
Liverpool on the steamship Fran
conia of the Cunard Line, August
%. The mobilization Of troops
could be seen everywhere in Eng
land and there was much excite
ment there among the English
people.
The trip from Liverpool was
also without mishap. The Fran
coma, however, was in total dark
hess every night. They landed at
Boston on Sunday and after stop
in New York, arrived in Newark
last night. Many friends Of Mr..
and Mrs. Evans called on them
last night to congratulate them on
their arrival without any serious
trouble.
