COLLEGE ORCHESTRA WELL RECEIVED.

The Delaware College Orchestra,
which gave a recital in Milford last
Thursday evening, was one of the finest
musical organizations ever heard in this
town. The music rendered by the stu
dents was far above the ordinary, and
these who were present were surprised
that the boys were able to render such
difficult selections. The orchestra de-
served a far better crowd than that
which greeted it. 1t is more than likely
that it will again be in Milford next year,
and at that time it is to be hoped that
the people of this town will attend in
large numbers.

lust about two weeks before our Easter
vacation we noticed that the Juniors were
acting queerly. Every time two or three
oi them were together, they would ex-
cuse themselves and begin to whisper
very excitedly.
OF course we were interested and tried
to find out what it was about, but that
was Just time wasted for we couldn't
hear thing.
But as soon as they realized that we
were really interested and that we were
going to find out what was going on, in
any way we could, they decided to
tell u.s. This was done by an invitation
b the Seniors for an Easter party to be
given by the Juniors April S This was
an agreeable surprise and the Seniors
accepted at once.
So on Monday night a crowd of ex
Fitted Seniors arrived at the party. The
FoOm was very prettily decorated in pur-
pie and gold, the Seniors class colors.
Mr. and Mrs. Varney were there to help
hs have good time. The games were
Fery amusing, especially the one in
which every one was called on to do
Something funny, like making stump
Speeches or threading a needle while
eitting on a jug that would roll if you
fidn't sit still.
At very late hour refreshments were |
served, and our President had the honor |
oi cutting the class cake, which was of
golden color, decorated in purple. We
pad very pleasant evening, and our
president gave a speech OF thanks for

 DECIDES TO INTERN
SECOND GERMAN SEA RAIDER WILL REMAIN AT NEWPORT
 NEWS-6o OF CREW ILL.

Newport News.-The German com meree destroyer Kronprinz Wilhelm will be interned for the war in Amer. ican waters at the request of her commander, Lieut.. Capt. Thierfelder. Notice of his intentions were given by the German officer to Collector of Customs Hamilton in this message:
 Herewith I have to officially in- form you that I intern"
 Commander Thierfelder later am. plified verbally this message by say ing it had been his intention to at tempt the dash for sea past the al lied warships off the Virginia Capes, but the continued illness of more than to members of his crew would make that move impossible before the ex- piration of the time limit set for his departure from this neutral haven.
 The commander told the collector that his surgeons had informed him there was no prospect for the early recovery of the sailors, who are suf- fering with beri-beri, and added that his ship could not be properly manned with so many of her crew in- capacitated.
 The United States government will maintain a naval and military patrol around the Wilhelm until she is taken to the Norfolk navy yard, there to be paid up near the Prinz Eitel Friedrich, another German sea rover which was interned nearly month ago

be bought in narrow or wide widths. and with embroidery in colors. as well as white, on white ground. Voile is manufactured in an endless variety of embroidered patterns.
 The underskirt, in the dress pie tured, is fitted about the hips and cut with moderate flare. It is finished with three-inch hem. The tunic is fitted to the figure by means of tucks, graduated in length and extending be- low the hips. They are shorter at the front. The tunic dips trifie at the front, and this slight dip is repeated in the bodice
 The bodice is cut like plain blouse, with the fullness gathered in at the bottom and confined under a girdle made of the embroidered scallops. It fits the figure vaguely like short jacket The neck is finished with a turnover collar of lace, and the same lace is used for the puffs and frills about the sleeves.
 silk scarf tie finishes the dressing of the neck. This design is one that seems as well suited to the matron as to the maid, and nothing prettier can be found for graduation gowns or for the useful white dress for midsummer.

'oft<EI2lAKSEA

The Black sea is better known to the people of the West in fable than in history, for the myth-laden Cim- merian region is upon it's northern shores, and many of the early Gre elan heroes carried on their knight errantry along its coasts, while Col chis, where Jason and his brother Ar gonauts sought the Golden Fleece, lies on its east bank
 Peninsula of Galipol.
 Not far from the Black sea region is the Turkish peninsula of Gallipoli, the Chersonesus Thracica of classical ge- ography, where one of the most pow erful battle fleets of all times has been attacking. It is the spur defense of Turkey in Europe, the best guarantee for centuries of the Ottoman empires place among the great powers. It is a fruitful land, whose conditions at one time gave promise of a world important commercial future The Turkish occupation of 1857, however. cut off this promise, and the land has remained as much an obscure land to the twentieth century as it was to the Greeks of Perieles' Athens. The won derful water avenue which stretches behind it toward the heart of central Asia has remained stagnant of all de- velopment.
 Gallipoli peninsula forms the Euro pean bank of the Dardanelles To the north it is enclosed by the deeply in dented Gulf of Saros., The soils of this district are exceedingly fertile and well adapted to agriculture. The peninsula is hilly rib of land, 55 miles in extent. and varying between three and thirteen miles in breadth. It supports about hundred thousand people. It was the first section of Eu- ropean land to come under the domi- nation of the crescent.
 Wheat and maize are grown in con- siderable quantities here, and are ex- ported to the Aegean islands and to Turkish ports. Barley. oats and lin seed were raised largely for Great Britain. and canary seed was exported to Australia. Turkish rule, however, has been continual dead weight upon it's development. For example, wine was formerly produced from Gallipo- lis grapes which was held in admira-

That very graceful garment, the long tunic, which appeared and took the world of fashion by storm late last summer, is with us again. Sometimes 1t is an overdress as long as the under skirt, but often it hardly differs at all from the tunic of last season. The skirt under it has grown wider. al- though it is often considerably mar rower than the tunic. But it may be equally wide, and in either case is good style
 One need only to examine the gown of embroidered voile shown here to appreciate the charming outlines of the tunic skirt and to realize that gown put together on such good lines Is something more than merely fash. fonable. The style is so pleasing that 1t has lasting qualities. The bodice is cut on simple and graceful lines also. This is model that might be safely chosen for gown of handsome lace, with the expectation that little change need be made in it from season to season
 But the model as pictured is made Of plain and machine-embroidered voile not at all expensive It is washable. durable, and beautiful fabric. It can

 Four bags of pin seal are shown here in black Two of them are SUD- piled with very complete fittings. They are soft, and the leather in three of them is gathered on to the frame, so that they are more roomy than their size would indicate.

 No important industrial establish ments have been developed here. There are some steam four mills. a sardine factory, and there is, further, limited manufacture of leather and silk in the chief town, Gallipoli which lies upon Marmora sea at its junction with the Dardanelles. Besides the grains, cheese. skins of goats and sheep, and meat products make up the bulk of the peninsula's export It imports woolen and cotton fabrics and hardware. The United States prac- tically has no part in this trade.

Simplicity in Skirts.

According to the Dry Goods Econo- mist in the simple tailored suits the skirts are made very plain. with more or less flare around the hem This is introduced both in the gored and in the semicircular models. A few skirts, however. are shirred on at the waist line Some plaited skirts are also in- cluded in the orders.
 In the dressy suits the skirts are usually made on similar lines. the plaited effects particularly being pop ular. In some instances these dressy skirts are finished off at the bottom with cordings, tucks, bias folds of the material. silk braid or velvet ribbon.

'" HE Black sea is unique among
 the war theaters. It is the least
 regarded by the people of the
 West, and yet operations there
 may result in a permanent re organization of European affairs. Half possession has just served to whet the desires of each of the two empires for full possession, and the Ottoman and the Muscovite have long drowned at one another over the waters of this inland sea. says the National Geo graphic society's bulletin.
 lnclosed on the north by the south ern coast of Russia, on the east by Russian Caucasia, on the south and west by Turkey in Asia and Turkey in Europe, and on the northwest by Bull garia and Roumania, the Black sea is in every respect an oriental water body. Physically it is a boundary be- tween the East and the West; in reality the life which surrounds it is strongly related to the East and as strongly foreign to the West Hence. there is little general interest in the military operations there among Amer jeans
 Drains a Vast Territory.
 The Black. Caspian and Baltic seas are about the same size, but, of them all, the Black sea drains the country of greatest natural resources, of most advantageous connections with the trading world, and, by far, of the most commercial importance From east to west the Black sea has a length of 750 miles; it's greatest width of 380 miles, and it covers an area of 1S0,000 square miles, or is considerably greater than the sum of the areas of the American Great Lakes. It has a coastal line of 1000 miles, and a large part of its central basin reaches the extreme depth of 5000 feet
 A million square miles of land in Europe and Asia drain into the Black sea. The Danube, Dnieper.
