and the Seaooard Air Line and Atlantic
Coast Line railroads furnish adequate
facilities by rail. Wilmington has pop
ulation OF some $1,000, ''incIudin' de
whites" as an old negro man remarked.
Which is indicative of the fact that large
proportion of the population is colored.
There is very large German element
here, and we can prove this by mention
ing some OF the names from the list OF
those who helped to entertain Synod {:
Won Der Lieth, Schutt. Doscher, Gieschen,
Schnibben, Vessel, Schulken, Oldenbut-
tel, Render, Genaust, Cronenberg,
Tiencken, Setter, Strunck, Vollers, and
so on.
The people are progressive and pros
porous. The prosperity is shown by
the substantial business houses and the
many handsome, comfortable homes that
adorn the wide streets OF the residence
section. There's no crowding in these
streets. The houses are all set back from
the building line, with elbow room on
either side, and flowers and shrubberY
adorn and beautifY the yards and open
spaces. There is great variety OF ar
chitecture. Most of the dwellings are Of
frame, many showing the evidence OF
good taste and beauty in the use oflovely
columns that add so greatly TO the at
tractiveuess ofthe southern style. There
are many handsome examples OF colonial
architecture here and there and some
notably dignified structures OF this sort.
The progressive spirit OF the place is
shown by the many well-paved streets
an expensive public improvement Cor a
city of this size, for the streets are wide
and long and if must have been costly
undertaking TO pave so many ofthem; by
the excellent modern hotels and the tow
ering skY-scraperS by its satisfactory
public utilities; its fine school buildings,
and other evidences OF enterprise and
community pride.
The business of Wilmington is on
solid and substantial basis. thas cotton
presses and cotton mills and wood work
ing industries, and in the general offices
OF the Atlantic Coast Line system 700 men
are employed. The surrounding country
is fairly prosperous. Some cotton is
raised and there is a good deal OF truck
farming.

ASKS TWO WARSHIPS
WILSON WANTS TWO DREAD
NAUGHTS AND SIX CRUISERS.
Secretary Daniels Requests More Men
to Give All Vessels Full
Crews.

Washington, June %. = President
Wilson wants bigger battleship
building program authorized by the
present session of congress than that
provided in the house navy bill which
is now in the senate committee on
naval affairs.
AT a conference with Secretary Dan
iels and Senators Tillman and Swan
son he indicated he would approve a
program of eight capital ships, two
dreadnaughts and six battle cruisers.
The house bill provides for five bat
tie cruisers ands no dreadnaughts.
The three additional ships would add
at least $6O,O0O,OO0 to the heavy navy
budget.
Senators Tillman and Swanson
agree with the president and the
.s~Natc .camtnittee is certain to add
at least tvs GTeadnauehts.- to- tie
house program. 1t is believed the
house committee on naval affairs
and the house itself, in view of pres
ent conditions, will agree to the en-
larged program.
Following the conference with the
president and Secretary Daniels,
Senator Tillman, chairman of the
naval affairs committee, held meet
ing of his committee and the navy
bill was referred to a subcommittee
consisting Of Senators Tillman, Swan
son and Lodge, all big-navy men, for
consideration and a report to the
general committee. This subcOmmit-
tee is expected to get the bill out with
little delay.
The senate committee also an
proved the house bill authorizing
contractors who are building feet
submarines to turn them out with a
maximum speed of 10 instead of 20
knots an hour.
Secretary Daniels, backed by the ad-
ministration, urged congress to author
ize sufficient increase In the enlisted
personnel of the navy to permit the
manning of every war vessel now in
reserve or out Of commission.
