WASHINGTON, June MANY for
eigners were being taken from Mex
leo City today. The Brazilian minis
ter reported to the State Department
that there we're 90 Americans, Al Eng
lish, 127 Spaniards and 81 miscel-
laneous nationalities.
Consul Silliman, at Vera Cruz, had
a report from the British legation in
Mexico City, however, saying there
we're six hundred. This discrepancy
in figures was not accounted for.
The Bazilian minister had made ar
rangements with the Zapatista au-
thorities in the capital for a special
train to take the party from Mexico
City TO Pizayuca, from which there is
a 2S-mile break eastward in the rail-
road How this would be traversed

With General Carranza's authorities
another special train had been pro-
vided to run from Vera Cruz to the
eastern end of the break and bring

post is Mexico City, but who is now

FIRST WARD TURNED OVER INTO THE
REPUBLICAN COLUMN BY OVER 100 VOTES

cans carried every ward now repre-
sented by Republican in Council and
also won the First ward. where Ar
thur Johnson defeated Charles p. Say
lor by plurality of 105. This gives
the Republicans eight of the thirteen
members of Council That the Repub-.
lioans had considered they had a fair
chance of winning the First ward was
predicted in these columns. In fact,
the result of the election bore out in
every way the forecast made in THE
EVENING JOURNAL, excepting that
the pluralities were even larger than
had been estimated by the Republican
campaign managers or this news
paper. That Democratic discomfort
continues was evident from the re-
suits, while there are indications that
many men have left permanently the
Democratic party and have become
members of the Republican party.
The Republican sweep came as a
keen disappointment TO Democratic
leaders, who had really figured that
their party had a chance to win at
the polls on Saturday The Demo-
cratic leaders had scoffed at the Re
publican claims, and il is evident that
the widespread Democratic disaffec-
tion had not impressed itself serious
ly upon the leaders of that party.
: Elections of last November and Satur-
day last as well as June two years
ago, have served to demonstrate that
Wilmington is strongly Republican
lnroads of the Republicans into the
Democratic ranks can best be shown
by a glance at the vote in the South
ern district for assessor on Saturay.
II is a Democratic stronghold, be-
ing all the city south of Sixth street

Northern district for tax collector,
with a plurality of 2.555.
The Socialist and Citizens League
tickets did not cut much figure on
Saturday. According TO the unofficial
figures returned to this newspaper,
the Socialists polled 262 votes and the
Citizens ticket polled 247 votes.

AS usual. residents of Wilmington
obtained their information about the
result of the election on Saturday
from THE EVENING JOURNAL. This
newspaper had its big bulletin board
in position and in addition to posting
figures showing the results, the
progress of the election also was
given to the public through mega
phone announcements.
Returns were gathered at the vari-
Gus polling places by messengers, who
rushed with them to THE EVENING

were tabulated A system was used
that enabled the giving of Saturday

Wearing Mourning for the Dead

They must go on with their own lives
even after life has ceased to seem worth
living, and to do this they have put out
Of their minds. as soon as possible, the
thought Of their bereavement
But every woman dressed in mourning
is living reminder to each of us OF our
loss. She opens afresh the grave Of
husband, or wife, child or parent. friepA
or lover. At every step OF her way she
is a missionary of sorrow, and for this
reason, II for no other. women should
cease wearing mourning.
The practical aspects of the case are
equally convincing. Doctors will tell you
that the wearing of mourning is most
unhygienic, and is the cause of the ner-
vous breakdown of many women. They
are grief-stricken by the death of their
dear one, and they visualize their loss
and keep it perpetually before them in
the somber garments they put on. and
this adds to their depression until the
physical reaction often ends in serious
illness of mind or body.
Nor is the financial aspect of the mat
ter to be ignored. To the poor, and to
people in moderate circumstances, II is a
serious matter to have to throw away an
entire wardrobe ana buy a new outfit
of black clothes. I have known many
families plunged into debt by going into
mourning, and who struggled for years
under the handicap It placed upon them.
Why should We put on black TO adver-
tise to a cold and careless world that one
we loved has died? Why should we re-
mind others OF their loss? Nobody wants
TO do it. Every woman shudders at the
thought of donning the funereal garb.
1t can do no good to those who have
passed into the great majesty of eter-
nifty. and who, II they can see us. must
smile at our mummery.
We wear mourning just because we
are slaves TO a convention that we have
lacked the bravery to break away from.
May the war give us courage 10 do so,
and do away with the mourning garb.
