Uncle Harry Tells About COnscriptiOn

advertised in the newspapers that the
King wants more soldiers and they
have tried many other plans, but none
of these plans has brought as many
volunteers as Lord Kitchener, the
British War Chief, believes are nee
essary. So now they are talking about
'conscription.' If the English govern
ment decides on conscription the Of
ilcials will select a certain number of
men out of every 100 and these men
who are selected will be forced to
become soldiers"
"Why does England have to use
conscriptiOn asked Joe.
That's an even bigger question
than what Is conscription? said
Uncle Harry. There are several rea-
sons. One is that none of the fighting
has been in England and consequent
ly the people OF England do not real
ize-do not understand, how big the
war really is. Some of the men who
have studied this question say that
many of the people of England seem
TO think that with a big navy, such
as England has, and with the soldiers
who have already volunteered, the
English forces are strong enough and
that no more volunteers are needed
Then there are many men who have
families to look after; they do moi
want to leave their wives and little
children-they are afraid that II the,
are killed there will be no one to take
care of the mothers and the boys anC
girls. Then. too, there are many peo
pie in England, as there are In th'
United States and all other countries
who do not believe that people should
join armies and fight and kill one
another"
Did the United States ever have
to use conscription?" asked Jimmy.
"Yes. toward the end of the Civil
War" said Uncle Harry. In 1858
President Lincoln ordered draft OF
100000 men. Drafting is the same as
conscription. So many soldiers in the
Northern army had been killed and
wounded that more soldiers we're
needed than volunteered. Yes, and
now that you speak of it, remember
my father-your grandfather, telling
me that the Confederate Government
drafted soldiers too And there was
trouble here in our country over the
drafting, just as the newspapers to-
day say there is likely TO be trouble
in England IL the English government
starts conscription. There were what
we're called the Draft Riots In New

NEW BAKING PLANT
FOR WILMINGTON
Freihofer Co. Will Build if
Council Will Amend
Building Laws
NEED TEMPORARY
BUILDING AT ONCE

City Council, sitting in committee
of the whole last night, was informed
by Building Inspector Anderson that
the Freebooter Baking Company of
Philadelphia and this city, were de-
sirous of merging their Philadelphia
bakery with a Wilmington plant. Be-
fore this could be done, it was stated
that City Council would have to grant
a special building privilege to the
company. Mr.. Anderson said that il
was purposed to erect a plant at Thir-
teenth and lincoln streets which
would occupy whole block. The new
buildings would be ESQ by $50 feet. but
that under the present building laws,
the structure could not be erected,
as the company would first have to
erect a temporary structure. Mr.. An
dersOn said the company was willing
TO give a bond that the permanent
structure will be erected here. Mr..
Anderson told the Council that the
present building laws are antiquated
and that the city has Outgrown them.
They are not abreast of the time, and
as a result the city has been made to
suffer.
That the city should have such an
industry as is contemplated, and in
fact already planned. as the company
owns the ground to be utilized for
the site, all the Councilmen
agreed. They also stated that to
secure such a concern the city should
be willing to give it reasonable con-
cessions and what is asked is said
not to be unreasonable. It was gen
orally agreed that the. company will
be given the permission desired.
Before this is done, however, Mr..
Freebooter will be asked to put his
request in writing so Council will
have something definite on which to
act. This will be done at once so
all obstacles will be removed and the
company enabled to proceed without
delay in the building of its plant. 1t
is estimated it will take more than a
year to complete the structure. The
cOmpanys local plant at Eighth and
Orange streets was burned out several
weeks ago and the wrecked building
has been condemned by Mr.. Anderson

"That is a timely question and an
interesting one" said Uncle Harry.
There has been lot of news in the
papers lately about conscription and

tions.
IN the first place. conscription

compelling men TO become soldiers

Joe.
'Yes, even If they don't want TO-"
said Uncle Harry.
"And is that what the English
government is going to do?" asked
Jimmy.
q don't know about that" said
Uncle Harry. "There has been a lot
OF talk about conscription but It hasn't
been decided yet"
Hasn't England enough soldiers?"
asked Joe.

"You see, boys. this was big war

New News Of Yesterday
The Mystery of a Sealed
Envelope
B, Holland

James G. Blaine always regarded il
as one OF the choicest OF his political
associations and of the personal re-
lations which followed some of those
associations that he should nave gain
ed and maintained the friendship Of
William Walter Phelps. Occasion
ally, when in private conversation,
Mr. Blaine spoke of the intellectual
qualities OF Mr. Phelps as singularly
and most fortunately tempered and
guided by tact and by a certain almost
feminine intuitive gift.
The two men were somewhat alike
in temperament and in intellect, and
although Mr. Phelps did not have an
acquaintance with Mr.. Blaine until
about the time the latter was brought
forward prominently for the Repub-
ican nomination for President in
1876. nevertheless. he had long made
a study OF Blaine's career and was
persuaded that in many things Blaine
was the best type among Americans
of his generation.
Mr.. Phelps with enthusiasm sup
ported the nomination Of Mr. Blaine
for President in 1884. and he was one
Of those who did not doubt the abil-
itv OF the Republicans to elect him.
After the election. when II was Off
cially announced that Grover Cleve-
land had been chosen-because he had
carried New York State by the almost
microscopic plurality Of eleven hun
dred-Mr. Phelps insisted that a fair
count would have resulted in the dec
laration that Mr.. Baine had won.
Mr.. Phelps made many speeches
during the political campaign. and II
was while upon one Of his campaign
tours that he met Mr.. Blaine and
received from him secret communi-
cation, the nature OF which the world
will never know and Mr.. phelp him
SELF never knew. no one knowing Il
except Mr.. Blaine himself.
After some conversation with Mr..
Blaine. Mr. Phelps rose to go. and
then Blaine put into his hands a seal
ed envelope. AS he did this he said
that the envelope inclosed a commun-
ication. hut that it should not be oDen-
ed by Mr. Phelps unless the Repub-
licans gained the victory in the Presi-
dentisl camDaign. Blaine did not say
to Mr. Phelps what disposition was
to be made of the sealed enveloue in
case the Democratic party triumphed
at the election.
Grover Cleveland was officially de-
clared elected. and otter the announce
ment was made Mr.. Phelps recalled
the fact that he still possessed the
sealed envelope that Mr.. Blaine had
given him before the election. He
thereupon returned it without COM
ment to Mr. Blaine. who presumably
destroyed IT,
Although Mr.. Phelps was not per-
mitted to open the envelope. in view
Of the fact that Blaine had been de-
feated vet he had some reason for
surmising that the communication
contained within II would be an offer
of the State Department, in the Cab
met Of Mr Blaine Some hints were
heard a year or two after Mr. Blaine,

that had he been elected Preslden
