dollar DAY BRINGS
BARGAINS AND JOY
Merchants and Shoppers
Alike Pleased With
Success OF Day
GREATER TRADE THAN
EVER IN CITY STORES

Wilmingtonians and visitors from
the surrounding country got unques-
toned bargains and Wilmington
merchants got the dollars yesterday.
And purchasers and sellers are salts
fed. That is the summary OF the
most gratifying and successful Dollar
Day ever observed in Wilmington.
That Wilmington merchants went
the limit In offering Dollar Day bar
gains cannot be disputed II was
possible to buy even a piano at that
price. In most instances, goods we're
priced at a dollar that cost the mer-
chant more than that amount at
wholesale.
Everybody was buying. The hunt
for Dollar Day bargains gave an op-
portunity for shoppers 70 see and in
spect other goods on sale. and pur-
chases by no means we're confined
merely 70 dollar Day specials.
Stores were crowded from morning
to evening. Excursionists< who came
by Wilson Line boats from Philadel-
phia noted the bargain offerings and
joined the buying throng.
Merchants generally today Joined
in saying that Dollar Day was a sue
cess. Il brought out shoppers and
brought out dollars that might not
have been put in circulation. II is
safe 10 assume that the next time a
Dollar Day is arranged, an effort will
be made TO attract buyers from a
wider territory. This will mean ad
vertising the days bargains suffi-
ciently in advance 10 interest as many
persons as possible in rural sections.
Many merchants praised the news
papers for their assistance in making
Dollar Day the great success it un-
doubtedly was.
An instance showing that the bar
gains offered were worth more than
/ the dollar asked was shown when the
firm OF n. Snellenburg and Company
at the close of the days business
offered each of their employees their
choice of a new one dollar bill or a

It is said that most of the men in

The principal trouble was north of
Eleventh street bridge, where floats
and small pier walks were swept
away by the unusual tide.
All Of the boats there we're lashed
together with strong ropes, but de-
spite this precaution many OF them
we're swept away. Some OF those
that got adrift were caught in rope

DAY SEARCHHCHT
FACTOR IN Defense
Is Used in Artillery Drill to
Signal Tugs Towing
Targets
SEE FLASHES IN
BRIGHTEST SUNSHINE

Paradoxical as may seem the use
Of a searchlight in the daytime in the
coast defence Of the United States the
searchlight plays a most important
part in daylight signalling. OF course
the beam of light does not serve as
an illumination, but the great glare,
when properly focused and screened,
forms a flash suitable for signalling.
One of the most important parts OF
the Coast Artillery drill is target prae-
tice, not alone with service charges,
but in sub-calibre work. where an in
ner tube placed inside a big disap-
pearing gun and firing a one pound
shot gives a means Of excellent prac-
tice, without the great expense Of
firing service charge.
For this it is necessary to have
targets These targets are towed by
tugs. The targets are necessary also
for the training of the range sections,
for the observers manning the deli
cate instruments used for position
finding must have practice and they
cannot always depend upon passing
vessels for practice.
The big canvas targets are mounted
upon pontoons. The tug captains must
follow certain courses, but for many
reasons il is necessary 10 have signal
communications between tug and
shore. Sometimes, for instance, the
fort commander in his own station
will want to direct the tug to change
its course. so that his battery COM
mander may have plenty of practice
at constantly changing ranges. Tc
do this he must be able to get into
communication with the tugs.
With vessels close inshore ii is
easy to use the wig-wag. But wher
the tug is running on a course thai
takes her from six thousand to four
teen thousand yards of shore the
hag cannot be seen distinctly. II thI
tug is a large vessel, she sometimes
is equipped with wireless apparatus
but this is the exception.

miles. With a sixty-inch light tn
fash can be picked up fifteen mile
away. even in bright sunlight.
The great amount Of electrical pow
er used 10 operate the arcs Of tn
large searchlight precludes the pos
sibility Of making use Of a telegraph
key OF any sort, so a shutter is use
and the light is kept burning. Thi
shutter is like an ordinary windol
shutter, made up of number Of smal

and closed by lever connedtin

RUSSIANS ADMIT WARSAW
IS UNDER HEAVY FIRE
By The United Press.

By lhe United Ifess.
PETROGRAD, Aug 5.-Less than
six miles from the town hall. the Rus
sian garrison was making its last
stand in a furious battle at the city
limits OF Warsaw, when the last dis
patches we're filed to the war Office
today. Falling back from Blonie In
accordance with previously arranged
plans, the Slav forces retired behind
the outer forts at the western boHders
OF the city. The Germans pressed
slowly forward. taking up positions
on the Golabki-Moozydlo line about
nine miles from the heart Of the Pol
ish capital. From these new positions
they opened a bombardment Of the
forts defending Warsaw from the
west and south.
Shells were screaming across the
four miles Of open plain intervening
between the two armies when the last
reports we're sent from the Warsaw
telegraph office. II was thought pos
siblo today that the Russian garrison
already has fallen back across the
Vistula, leaving Warsaw 10 the Ger
mans but the war office did not share
their opinion. Military men said that
from the outer forts. the Slav garri-
son could sweep the western ap-
proaches with a FIRE that would hold
off the Germans indefinitely unless
they chose to sacrifice thousands OF
lives by massed assault They pre-
dicted that Warsaw would not be sur
rendered TO the enemy until the evac-
uation OF the military district sur
rounding Il was completed and the
Russians had taken up their new
lines to the east.
Though it is admitted here that Riga
too. may he evacuated by the Russians
there was a general feeling Of optimism
today over the escape Of the Russian
armies from the trap set by the Germai
general staff
