United States cavalry detachmen's to-
day were stationed at every bridge
and Crossing and at every power and
irrigation plant in this section. fol-
lowing reports that additional bandit
bands are forming and will shortly
cross the Mexican border to attempt
revenge for the killing of General
Orozco early this week by Texas
Rangers.
Omcials in charge of these detach-
ments reported today that a squad of
cavalry from the 18th Regiment en-
gagged four Mexicans three or four
miles north of here last night as they
were on their way to their designated
station. One of the bandits was killed.
The regulars suffered no casualties.
It was believed today that if con-
certed dash by Orozoco's avengers is
made it would be over the old Alice
stage coach into San Benito. For
this reason the guard at the place.

cavalry, was increased to 200 men
The situation here grew more tense
today when it was learned that
another American had been killed at
Epinal where twenty Mexican raid
ers attempted to storm a ranch. The
troops ordered to the border from
Galveston yesterday began reaching
their respective destinations today.
Four companies of the 18th infantry
were nearing Del Dio. Six companies
from the same regiment were expect
ed to augment the Fort Sam Houston

OIL Carrier Takes
TO WATER IN FOG
Silver Shell, Biggest Craft
Built Here, is Launched
in Early Morning
OTHERS OF TYPE
IN SERVICE SOON

One Of the most weird launching
scenes ever enacted at tho plant of
the Harlan and Hollingsworth Cor
poration, was the formal plunge of
the big Silver Shell, built for the
Anglo-saxon Petroleum Company, of
London, England, at 7.4O o'clock this
morning. The big red hull of the tank
er slid from the ways to the bosom Of
the Christiana, to be enveloped in q
thick fog. Those who witnessed the
launching we're crowded to the
waters edge, on the opposite side Of
the Chrisitana.
Il christen thee Silver She'll" ut
tered Mrs. James Roberts, wife of the
superintendent of shipyard construc-
ton, followed by the crashing of the
bottle of wine upon the ships prov,
was the signal for the seaward glide
of the big mass of steel.
Although the Silver Shell is the
largest ooat ever built in a local yard
there never was a more successful
launching. The tugboats Neptune and
Active, of Philadelphia, were in at
tendance and conveyed the tanker to
a position beneath the shear poles at
the yard, where her machinery will be
placed in her. The boat is 435 feet
long, 53.O5 beam, 31-foot depth of
hold and is of $500 tons dead weight
She is the first of a contract of three
ships building for the petroleum COM
panI.
Owing to the mystery surrounding
the plans for the launching, many
persons gathered on Market street
bridge as early as o'clock this
morning. They we're disappointed be-
cause the fog was so thick that they
could not see even the shipyard from
the bridge. They we're forced TO wend
their way through lns wet weeds on
tn Peoples Steamboat Company's
wharf to a point opposite the launch
ing ways The boat then resembled a
huge grey ghost as it slid gracefully
into the water. The swell caused by
her plunge made the many 'iitney'
boats moored near by to toss wildly
about. but no damage was done.
II will be about two months before
another of the petroleum feet will be
ready for launching.
When the machinery and other
work will be finished on the Silver
Shell IS not known At this time. as
labor troubles may delay the work.

ment Choice Displays
FREE ATTRACTIONS and
Horse SHOW ON PROGRAM

With more entries and departments
than ever, and larger displays, the
Delaware state Fair will open its an
nual exhibition at Mawaset Park, Ninth
street and Woodlawn avenue, on Mon
day morning, and all It will need to
assure success win be good weather,
which means good crowds The fair as
sociation directors at the close of the
1914 fair started work at once to make
the 1915 exhibit the premier event of its
kind, and for the past two months a
large number of men have been engaged
in preparing the grounds and arranging
the booths.
While these workers were busy, the
directors themselves were astir and they
report that the numbei Of entries in all
depa. tments far exceed those of former
years A striking feature of this years
fair viii be that it will remain open at
night. when the grounds will be bright
" illuminated, thereby allowing the ex-
hibits and other features to be viewed
by thousands.
Heretofore the fair grounds we're
open only in the day time, and the
thousands of Wilmington working men
and women who could not find time,
were compelled to forego the pleas
ure of visiting the exhibit. This year
all will be given an opportunity as the
fair will be open five days and five
nights, beginning Monday and ending
Friday
Wilmington, which has been rated as
"A first Glars horse town, will come
into its own during the five days of
the fair, as feature cards Of events
have been prepared for each days rae
ing While the track will attract
hundreds, followers Of the motorcycle
will also be entertained as a special
meet has been prepared for Monday
afternoon and ana automobile race
meet has beon cardec for Friday night.
There will be no horse racing Mon
day
Farmers and truck growers will not
be sighted in the displays. as huge
tRlts have been erected under which
the best of Delaware grown products
will be displayed. The Delaware Col
iege Farm display, which has been an
attraction in previous years, will be
there, az will the display of products

trs and fruit growers from the three
counties will vie with one another in
sending their best products to the fair
and poultry raisers will show just
what Is being done in that industry in
this State. The Fair management. il
order to secure as large an exhibit as
possible from poultry fanciers, has
erected a large wooden building. This
eliminates the danger of fancy poultry
worth hundreds of dollars, contracting
roup and other diseases. This i'm
provement is appreciated. as can bt
seen by the large display of chickens
ducks and other fowl.

No Peace MOVE

NO American REPLY
TO The POPE'S NOTE
BIZ CHARLEs P. sTEWART.

United Press Staff Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 4.-Late fall
or early winter may see an early
movement to restore peace in Eu-
rope. This was from a high official
source today.
Pope Benedicts appeal TO President
Wilson TO use his good offices with
Europe's belligerents would not bear
fruit Immediately. it was stated. but
with the lull in fighting expected
upon winters approach It was un-
derstood on good authority that the
President thinks the time may be
ripe for definite action.
The Chief Executive will not re-
ply to the Pope's peace plan, it was
stated authoritatively today. the ex-
planation being given that His Holi-
ness communication requires no ans
wer or even an acknowledgment,
having been delivered in person -
Cardinal Gibbons to whom the Presi-
dent gave the necessary information.
Unless the Vatican or Cardinal
Gibbons makes public the Papal COM
munication, it was said, it will not
be given out here.
Despite pessimistic expressions
from London, it was the official view
here that a general peace discussion
I having been started. there is good
reason to believe the agitation will
continue until something tangible is
developed upon which President Will
son can found another overture to the
fighting countries
Some international experts thought
there was a fair chance that Ameri-
can negotiations with the British con-
cerning the order in council would
lead to an opportunity for a fresh
offer of mediation.

british SUBMARINE
damages TURK BRIDGE
~ the United press

ATHENS. Sept. 4.-Under cover OF
darkness. the crew of a British sub
marine made a daring attack on the
important Case railway bridge, 26
miles southeast Of Constantinople and
succeeded in blowing up one of the
spans Dispatches received here to-
day said the submariners returned to
their craft without detection.
The exploit was credited to the
same British submersible that has
sunk several Turkish transports IN
the sea of Marmora and has bonn
barded the docks in Constantinople
harbor The submarine entered the
Gulf of Ismid at dusk, disembarked
several of its crew with dynamite
bombs and then stood close in to
shore.
The submariners circled a Turkish
military encampment having several
narrow escapes from Turkish pa
trolls and planted their bombs on the
bridge over which passes the chief
railway connecting Constantinople
with the interior of Asia Minor. One
of the bombs wrecked the middle
span, but the others failed to explode.

that the United States should insist
on similar treatment for merchant

This was stated on excellent au-

tentative decision as to it's, future
position. II involved a sudden change
Of opinion. inasmuch as the SUPPOSE
tion Friday was that America would
insist on the same treatment of pas
senger-carrying and freight vessels.
The reconsideration was understood
TO be based on expert representations
that submarine commanders would
have much more difficulty in Identify
ing merchant ships, as compared with
passenger lines. which probably
would give rise to future disputes II
the United States insisted on putting
