NEWARK, June 9.-In the pres
ence Of several hundred relatives aug
mented by friends of the institution,
thirty-six young men received their
diplomas and degrees at the annual
commencement of Delaware College
this morning. This will probably 90
down in the history of the college
as one of its most notable commence

looked on as the real beginning of
the great extension project that has
been planned by the trustees.
The exercises for the first time
we're held on the campus in the open,
and this innovations proved a delight
full change, as the Oratory could not
have possibly accommodated the
large crowd of visitors. II was the
| largest crowd that has ever attended
many of the visitors being alumni
who came from distant points.
There was an interesting program,
not a small part of the pleasure of
which we're selections by the college
orchestra. The address to the
graduates was made by Charles f..
Thwing. LII d., president Of Western
Reserve University, Cleveland, Ohio,
whose subject was "The Scholar"
At noon there was the usual lunch
con for visitors in Recitation Hall
and for the alumni members in the
gymnasium. The alumni held its an
nual meeting this afternoon, when II
is likely some important announce
ments will be made.
From 2.30 to 4 o'clock this after
noon there will be a reception at the
Women's College to the graduates
and their friends. At 4.30 the Alumni
Varsity baseball game will be played
and the commencement program will
come to a close with the farewell
dance in the gymnasium tonight.
The commencement exercises were
opened with an invocation by the Rev
G. T. Anderson of Wilmington, fathel
of one of the graduates.
Prizes were awarded by Dean Law
renee Smith. and the degrees werl
conferred by DR.. George A. HarteT

LAURENs COUNTY FAIR.

Laurens, S. c., Oct. a. 1915.-Pre-
parations are nearing completion for
The fifth annual Laurens County
Fair, which is to be held here Friday,
October 18th, 1915. The Execu-
tive committee was busy Friday
rounding out the premium list. which
will have a wider scope this year than
ever before. Particular attention is
being paid to the high grade cattle
and field crop department as the
Fair directors wish to give their en-
couragement and endorsement to
these phases of farm life. A herd
of Red Pole cattle is among the ex-
hlbits assured in this line and strong
effort is being put forth to have num-
crous herds of other breeds mere. AS
is already known, the side shows,
shooting galleries, and so on, have no
place in the Laurens County Fair, as
il is intended to be of educational,
rather than amusement, value.
No admission fees are charged for
entries or for admittance to the
grounds. The Fair is supported by
the people of Laurens and vicinity
and they welcome all who may desire
to come. The premium list is now
ready and the Committee will be
glad to furnish same to any ,ne de-
string to make entry.

MAIN SERVIAN FORCE BEHIND

The battle is in FULL swing along
the northern frontier of Servia.
where the Austro-Germans are
pounding at the Servian positions in
an endeavor to cut their way through
the little kingdom to relieve their
Turkish allies. Although the main
Servian forces are declared to be
waiting farther south, the Teutons
are not gaining ground unopposed in
the north.
The war Office at Nish says the
losses on both sides are enormous and
that the Serbs at points have been
victorious.
Coming to the aid of their COM
patriots are the Serbs troops from AL
bania and seven divisions from the
Bulgarian front. Unofficial advices
say thousands of unframed men and
many women in the Servian kingdom

WILSON GOES AFTER
MAKERS OF STRIFE
PRESIDENT ASSAILS HYPHENA-
TED AMERICANS WHO CAUSE
TROUBLE. :.

Washington, Oct. 11.-President
Wilson this afternoon for the first
time bitterly attacked hyphenated
Americans who have sought to stir
up trouble for the United States.
His attacks was made in a stirring
address he delivered before the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, who celebrated the 25th ami
versary of the founding of their So
ciety. The Presidents fiancee, Mrs.
Norman Gait, and her mother, Mrs
Boiling, were in the audience.
~ would a great deal rather draw.
pepper up my nose than incur the
hostility and dislike of my neigh
bors," the President said. "Anything
is preferably to ostracism. This is
just the sort of discipline I would
mete out to those within our. bor-
ders who do not think of America
first"
Nov we have come to q time of
special stress and test" the President
declared. "There was never a time
when we needed more clearly to con-
srve the principles of our own pa
triotism than this present time. ~
"There have been some among US
who have not thought first of Amer
lea, who have thought to use the
might of America in some matter not
of Americas originative,. and they
have forgotten that the first duty of
a nation is to express its principles
in the action of the family of ma
tions and not to seek to aid and abet
any rival to contrary ideal.
81 would not be afraid upon the
test of America first to take CEN
sus of all the foreign-born citizens of
the United States, for I know that
the vast majority of them came here
because they believed in America. I
am not deceived as to the balance of
opinion among the forign-born citi-
zens, but I am in a hurry to have an
opportunity to have a lineup and let
the men who are thinking first OF
other countries stand on one side
biblically, it should be the left-and
all those that are for America first,
last and all the time, on the other
side"
