pate and would be represented in the
parade by the Boys Brigade.
A representative of the Junior Me-
chanics Guards reported that the
guards would participate, and he
thought that most of the Jr o. U. A. NJ.
lodges of the city would take part.
Mayor Howell. addressing the dele
gates, told them that he wanted them
TO feel that they we're personally in
vited TO take part in the affair and to
become a part of the celebration pro-
iect. The mayor said this was to be
a Delmarvia Home Week, and speak
ing to the lodgemen, he suggested
that the lodges of their respective or
ders in other parts OF the State be in
vited.
Secretary Neil B. Sinclair. Of the
Chamber of Commerce. in reporting
for that body, while announcing that
the project was favored by II, said he
was instructed to say by the board OF
directors that they do not feel that a
whole weeks celebration would be the
proper thing. They favored a four
day celebration as more expedient
| The secretary ventured the opinion
that the celebration of two years ago
burned out before the end of the week,
/ but the mayor took issue with that
statement.
5. H. Baynard. president Of the
Board of Education, announced that
4 he represented "31 lodges OF young
Americans" and expected that be-
tween 5000 and 1000 of them would
be in line.
The mayor suggested the word
"Delmarvia" in connection with Tho
celebration. and Councilman w. 4
Stover asked if it would be wise so tC
designate il. He considered this al
occasion of Homecoming in loca
sense. He thought il should be vii
mington's homecoming with the resi-
dents of the Peninsula especially in
vited
The mayor spoke Of the efforts o
the Chamber of Commerce and III,
merchants TO encourage the people o
the Peninsula to come to Wilmington
and thought the celebration might b.
of Delmarvia for that reason. Thi

All Europe in Arms Today
Over AuSfria'S War Declaration

Fronchmen expelled from Alsace-Lor-
raino and the very mention OF such
action aroused the bitterest resent
ment in France. The provinces have
been a source OF constant trouble to
the Kaiser, and serious complications
have been impending almost contin-
uously for years. Il is believed that
Germany will take advantage Of
Russia's slowness IN mobilization, If
the Car moves to aid Seryia. The
Kaiser fears to turn his back to-
ward France, and diplomats contend
that he Will endeavor TO crush the
French army before engaging Russia.
Such course would mean that the
first great conflict OF general Euro
pean war would be between the
French and Germans Both have
been prepared for It for months.
President Poincare himself is q
Lorrainer and has taken the keenest
personal interest I'm the situation IN
