''rtjRERtULOSIS WEEK.

"fabercblosis Week. was observed
in Wilmington this week.
One Rf the chief aim in the obser-
vance of the week was to get the gen
eral public interested in the movement
looking toward the prevention of tuber-
culosis to the extent that more persons
in need of the attention given to tuber-
cular patients at the clinics may be in
duced to visit the dispensaries and this
goal was constantly kept in mind
throughout the week.
The fact that the week was observed
in the tuberculosis cause was drawn to
the attention of everyone by posters
which were placed in windows of stores
business establishments and other
places. These posters presented a re-
production of water color painting by
Miss Martha England Murphy, one of
the well-known young artists of Will
mington, an etching from which appe ears

Mr.. and Mrs. E. W. Murphy and a

During the week the store of N.

for the workers. The firm agreed to
give large window space to a display

T. R. TELLS BOY SCOUTS
TO TRAIN FOR WAR
Everybody Should Be Prepared,
Says Colonel in Letter.

Theodore Roosevelt, in a letter re-
ceived yesterday by James f. West,
chief executive Of the Boy Scouts Of
America, declared that Boy Scouts
must be prepared not only to be good
citizens in time of peace. but ready
for supplementary military training
which shall make them efficient in time
of war.

ter. Mr.. West indicated that the views

Scouts by also giving out n copy Of a

Inquiry for details in the Ancona case,
The Associated Press correspondent
learns from a well informed source, Is
that IL has been impossible thus far 70
get into communication with the sub
marine involved, although every effort
has been made to do so.
Ambassador Penfeld submitted the
American communication on November
10 and was assured that the desired
information would be obtained as soon
as possible. A few days later it had
not vet been possible 20 find the sub
marine. and nothing is known OF its
whereabouts up to now. As the sub
marine is a large one, with wide
radius of action this might easily hap
pen, il is declared. II is considered
possible, also. that the submarine may
have met with misfortune.
Since the submarine commanders
first report on the sinking Of the An
coma already had been published, It was
necessary, it is asserted here, 70 submit
to him the allegations of the Ancona's
crew and passengers before the ques-
lions asked by the United States could
be answered.
1t now appears that supplementary
report issued by the government rela-
tive to the Ancona case contained de-
tails supplied by the submarine COM
mander in his first report and was not
based on a ;scond communication,
which. it is said, the government. for
the reasons given, thus far has been
unable to obtain.

Carl Schurz, who is treasurer OF the

"The hundred and fifty packages we

matter seriously for a moment and
then smiled.
Il don't think it is as bad as all
that" he said.
II is understood that the authorities
in England have been notified by their
agents here Of the Kristianiafiord ship
ment and some development IL awaited
anxiously in Washington. The exact
status OF first class registered mail
shipment of food is not certain. Food
ytuffs are listed as conditional contra
band. but there is no precedent provid-
ing for their seizure under the presen.
circumstances.
A formidable array OF questions
arises out Of the case. Can England
seize the food as contraband wlthou;
taking the ship 70 prize court? Can
she seize a neutral ship without con-
demning II as enemy property because
II is engaged i'm the trade Of the
enemy? Is the United States mail in
the trade of the enemy? Those are
some Of the difficulties that the gov
eminent will be called upon TO solve
