section of track sufficiently long to

Benavides dispatched a train to the
southwark, to a point just north Of
Conejos when he discovered four Fed
eral troop trains leaving Peronal. He
retreated to Escalon and as he passed
Zavalza notified the battery men of

titlOn
SPEAKER TELLS OF
WARS HIGH COST

At the Wilmington High School as
sembly exercises this morning a spe-
cial feature of interest was the an
nouncement made by George A.
Rhoads, president of the Delaware
Peace Society, of eight prizes to be
contested for by members of the A
and B Senior classes Of the High
School for the best essays on the

duced the speaker of the morning,
Henry l.. Cadwallader, executive sec
retary of the Pennsylvania Arbira-
ton and Peace Society, who had been
brought here by the Delaware Peace
Society to arouse the interest Of the
High School students in the peace
movement
Mr.. Cadwallader in his address out
lined briefly lines of development for
the essays-relative TO the economic,
moral and political issues involved in
war against war. Speaking of the
economic issue. Mr.. Cadwallader said
that three billions of dollars were
spent last year on the maintenance OF
the standing armies and navies OF the
world and the interest on war debts.
Out of $6OOOOO.OOO collected in
taxes in the United States by the Fed
eral Government, the speaker said
SAL 100000 was spent last year In
war. DeplOring this expenditure, Mr..
Cadwallader outlined various other
ways in which that amount Of money
could have been used, such as irri-
cation, canals, prevention of disease,
educational problems, etc.
Taking up the political issue, Mr.
Cadwallader said that in the last 100
years 500 cases had been settled by
arbitration without appeal TO arms
and I'm no one case had war resulted
The moral issue involved was, ac-
cording to the speaker. based on the
destructiveness of war. making the
problem one of great seriousness.
In closing. Mr.. Cadwallader re-
ferred to the issues upon which ne
had briefly dwelt as being good out
lines for the essays which are to be
ready at the close of the school term

wheher it should be war or peace.

TAKE HORSE AND BUGGY
FROM WEBSTER'S BARN

Last Wednesday night when F. NJ.
Crandall, who lives on the ID. Il. Will
son farm west of Belding, went to the
Orton Webster hitching sheds about
ten o'clock to return home he found
that his horse and buggy had been
taken from the shed.
Crandall was unable to locate either
horse or rig until Thursday morning
at nine o'clock when both were found
near the Wilson farm. The horse was
apparently in good condition but
showed evidence of having been
driven. The blankets and whip were
in the buggy and all were in good
shape. 1t is supposed that the horse
was taken from the barn by someone
who knew that it would go home
when turned loose. Evidently it was
used to make a trip and then headed
toward home and released.
Mr.. Webster was away from the
barn a few minutes and the theft was
made during his absence.
