Plans for the addition to Delaware

Churchman Molter, Philadelphia arch
itect and it is expected that within a
short time bids viii be asked for. The
new structure which is to face Washing
ton street will be four stories high and
80 by ll6 feet. The addition is made
possible by the subscription campaign re-
Gently held when $500. 600 was pledged.
OF this amount Sl5OOOO has been raised.
II IS planned to connect the addition
with the present structure, the addition
TO be used for private cases. allowing
more room in the old building for free
cases.
Speaking OF the selection of a Phila-
delphia architects plans, Lewis p Bush.
Il trustee of the hospital said that
the building committee acted in all fair
ness TO local architects. He said that
/ advertisements were inserted in local
newspapers asking local architects to
submit plans. Only three availed them
selves OF the opportunity and the COM
mittee was not satisfied with the plans
submitted. IL then engaged as an adj
cisor, Edward A. Crane. city architect
for Philadelphia. Mr.. Bush said that
this was no more than the Wilmington
building commission on the Joint city
and county building did, this commits
sion having employed Philadelphia
architect in a similar capacity
Mr.. Bush said Mr.. Crane advised the
committee to ask for further plans and
submitted list of architects. incuSing
the three local architects and a number
of Philadelphia architects. and recon-
mended that bids be asked for plans un-
der the rules of the American Associa-
tion of Architects in order that the
committee might obtain the best for the
money it expected to eXpend ON the
new addition.
Mr.. Bush said that out of the list sub
mitted by Af Crane the committee
picked three architects from Phiadel-
phia, and three local architects. he eN-
planned, then selected a committee of
award comprised of three outside archi-
tects, and the latter went over the plans
submitted. The local architects We're in
formed of the change OF plans. said Mr.
Bush and two were at once in favor OF
entering into competition with outside
firms. The third at first demuTed. but
afterward agreed 30 e new plan All
three submitted new sets OF plans.
when ah the plans were submitted.
said Mr.. Bush. without any marks of
any kind on them to designate where
they came from, the jury of award care
fully went over them and selected one.
This proved to be the plan submitted
by the Philadelphia architect That end
ed the matter so far as we We're cor
cerned We feel that we have secuted
the best plans possible in the taifesr
way possible.

WANTS JAPAN TO
ASSIST THE ALLIES
George Clemcnceau in Two Column
Article Tells Why They
Should Help.

PARIS. Dec. 26.-George Clemen-
ceau. former premier of France. in a
two-column article Friday breaks a
lance in favor of japan armed inter-
vention in Europe. He writes:
When Lord Kitchener said che war
was likely to last six months or three
years he evidently overlooked the fact
that it is taking place chiefly on
French territory and that il is there
fore France who most suffers from
the wantOn destruction of lives and
property. 1t is unquestiOnably 10 the
interest Of all concerned that the al
lies should be able to overwhelm their
foes and thus end the terrible con-
hict"
Clemenceau does not see any rea-
son why the allies should scorn the
help of Japan while the Intervention
of other powers at present neutral
would be welcomed, but he adds that
the matter would naturally require
long negotiations and that the trans
port Of troops is also no light quick
task. He therefore urges the allies TO
immediate action and suggests the
calling of diplomatic conference for
preliminary negotiations in order TO
gain time and have Japan's troops on
the European battlefields early in the
spring

Ten Thousand. Packages Yet
To be Delivered by Carriers

is hoped that every parcel, letter and
postcard will be delivered in the next
three days.
An idea of the enOrmity Of the mail
that has been sent into the city can
be gained from the fact that one car
rier alone has, besides his share or
the 10. 600 packages and a large num-
Der of letters, over 1000 postcards to
deliver 10 his customers.
The souvenir postcards are making
life miserable for clerks and carriers
Just at present. After one OF the
clerks had worked all day sorting
cards bearing incomplete addresses.
there still remained at midnight over
5000 which could not be distributed
among the carriers on account OF the
lack of a street address. Many of
these viii be delivered when the rush
is over and there is time TO look up
the names in the directory.
All of the mail that was turned into
the Office Friday for delivery in other
cities was routed, sacked up and sent
out last night. so those who were
tardy in sending their gifts can be as
sured that their packages viii reach
their destinations this week or early
