POLICE INEFFICIENCY
AND MILITIA EXPENSE.
To the Editor of THE EVENING
JOURNAL.
Sir Every citizen of Wilmington
should read your editorial "Ou Police
and the Rioters" in Wednesdays
EVENING JOURNAL 1t looks dceid-
edly as though some one were suffering
from acute hysteria, or the militia
would not have been called out, with
the resultant just criticism of the ciii-
cheney Of ow police department, and
nationwide notoriety Wilmington has
suffered.
Had the situation been handled at the
outset with some degree OF frmness and
even a slight amount of Judgment, there
never could have been the slightest eX-
cuse for the deplorable action taken by
those in authority.
We're it admitted that the situation
demanded the action taken, it would be
of interest TO every taxpayer TO know
how much it has cost 10 call in the aid
of the militia TO bolster mp the police,
and how far this money would have
gone in carrying out the recommenda-

PARIS. Aug TO- BY Mail 90 New

success OF the Entente against the ALI
lance is utmost here. Here is story
illustrating the mwaVermg confidence
manifested everywhere.
Felix Dumesnl. aged s, lives in the
apartment under the one which ] oc-

father was called to the colors. As
each rcservist was called to report at
some particular point, / asked "feliX,
where is your father goingf" "lo Ber-
lin." the French boy replied, quite as if
Berlin was rust across the street In
the early days OF the mobilization, the
oldest and most alarming spectacle in
Paris was the run ON grocery stores.
These were literally besieged by fore
sighted people VINO love TO eat. Thurs
day and Friday following the call to
the colors. those places of business had
doubled and tfehlcd their forces, and
even then long waiting lists Of people
desiring to be served were seen. Police
had to be called TO preserve order.
Lanes were roped off and inside OF these
people waited for hours for chance To
buy.
Tho idea was clear enough Fearing
q food shortage they wanted 20 lay IN
a supply. The period of mobilization
had been calculated at 81 days. That
was the popular idea anyway, and dur.
ing those 2l days all the trains and
ali the trucks and most of the wagons
would be in use hauling the army OIL to

So they bought Irish potatoes, moo
dies and similar dried pastes smoked OF
otherwise cured meats, sausages, an'
what not: dried peas and beans. concen
trated soups, condensed milk coffee, tea
and cocoa. sugar and above all salt
They did not forget the salt. Paris ha
not vet forgotten that siege back II
1871. and her children have heard wha
il means not 60 have salt
The money panic added to the fam

after standing siXfor eient hours await

would demand.

QUESTION RIGHT TO SWORD
Historic Relic Now In Possession of
University of Pennsylvania Has
Evoked Discussion.

The gold sword that Louis XVI pre-
scented to John Paul Jones In recogni.
ton of the fight he made with the Bon
Homme Richard against the Scraps
has been presented to the University
of Pennsylvania by Edward G. Dale,
son of the late Richard G.. Dale, q for
mer president of the Society of Cincin-
natl. The SWORD has been in the pos
session of the Dale family for more
than century.
This is the sword which Charles
Henry Hart, local historian. de-
clares now should be In possession
of Admiral Dewey. 1t had been gen.
orally accepted that the sword passed
by viii of Commodore Jones to Com
modore Dale, forbear of Richard c..
Dale. Mr.. Hart denied this. He de-
ciares that the sword WAS in posses
sion of John Paul Jones when he died
In Paris, In 1872, and that Jane Tay-
ior of Dumfrfes. Scotland. a sister of
Jones, went to Paris and took posses

should now be raging along a country
road at nightfall to find something
that SO horribly hurt them both.
1t was almost dark-save for the
starlight-when he saw the shadow OF
the square ivy-grown spire rearing
stark from its huddle Of foliage
against the blurred background. He
pushed open the gate and went slowly
up the worn path toward the great
iron-bound and hooded door. Under
the larches on either hand the outlines
of the gravestones doomed pallidly,
and from the bell tower came the faint
inquiring cry OF small owl. Valiant
stood looking about him. What could
he learn here? He read no answer to
the riddle A little to one side of the
path something showed snow-like on
the ground, and he went toward 1t.
Nearer, he saw that 1t was mass of
flowers, staring up Whitley from the

Wrecked Train Accompanied by
Terrible Threat.

A fast limited" was bowling over
the sands of Arizona. Just how 1t
happened was frequently explained,
and never understood, but as the train
sped along the side Of a parched river
1t suddenly left the rails, rolled down
the bank and landed in three feet OF
muddy water at the bottom of the
river bed.
Within the cars there was some
natural confusion. Men, women and
lunch boxes were thrown into heap,
and not an umbrella or parcel was
left in the racks.
One by one the occupants of the
rear car extricated themselves from
the mass and sought for means of es-
cape, while stanching various wounds
caused by broken glass. Every exit
was damned tight. Just then, in the
midst of the doubt and confusion, rose
a woman's voice in emphatic demand:
Let me out! Let me out! If you
don't let me out, I'll break a window"
