tive of the army or navy. II has been
suggested that il would be advantage
ouseto have an expert on military

fenses This plan, however, after be-
ing considered. has been discard

as an invasion of Bryan's country with
Bryan not at home to defend il.

gin arrangements for second and
/ longer one. II was indicated today

] this Congress must be preparedness
and that he feels attempts by Demo
Gratis to undermine preparedness will
work to undermine the success of the
party at the next election.

ocean OUTLET FOR
THE indian RIVER
Congressman Miller Gets
Appropriation; Sussex
Citizens Will Give $500

GEORGETOWN, Del, Jan. 20. -
The Indian River is to have an OUT
let into the Atlantic Ocean. Per-
mission has been given by the gov
ernment, the proper place for digging
it. near the Indian River life saving
station, has been laid out by Federal
engineers and through the work OF
Congressman Thomas w. Miller, the
government has made an appropria-
tion to help the residents of Indian
River, Dagsboro and Baltimore Hun
dreds. out i'm their undertaking. In
the meantime. those interested have
also raised $500. which, with the
government money, will meet the ex-
pense.
The inlet was closed about three
months ago when severe storm
filled il with sand and completely
shut of the Indian River Bay from
tidewater In former years this bay
has been one OF the most profitable
fishing and grabbing grounds in Del
aware, and there are about 500 fish
ermen who make their living out OF
those waters. With the closing of
the inlet. thousands OF fish have died
and the shores are Uttered with dead
fish. without salt water coming in
and with fresh water coming down
from the streams and ponds, the bay
has almost become fresh and salt
water fish, crabs and oysters are
threatened with extinction
This week hundreds of men will
20 down to the shore. which is very
narrow at the point selected. and dig
n deep trench to the ocean so that
the first big tide will break through
IL and the force of the waters will
open up an outlet Dynamite will be
used to excavate a trench OF sufil-
cient depth Not only is the inlet one
of pecuniary benefit to the fishermen.
but Il is associated with considera-
BILE historical interest.
II is claimed through tradition and
borne out somewhat by history that
when Lord Baltimore first came TO
this country his ship sailed into In
dian River Bay and for about a year,
the men lived IN a settlement along
the shores Finding that the tides
interfered with the opening Of the
inlet and that it would not remain
deep cough for large shipping, Lord
Baltimore and his colonists pulled
up stakes and started further south,
sailing into the Chesapeake and
founding the City of Baltimore. To
this day the lower bank Of Indian
River Is called Baltimore Hundred
supposed to be so named because OF
the settlement made there. For
many years the inlet was deer
=, enough for vessels to trade back anC
forth and many carried pine WOOD
and lumber out Of the bay over e
New Jersey, bringing back glassware
and iron. About twenty years age
the inlet closed up exactly as it ha
dCne this time. but a later storm re
{ opened 4. II will always be more o
i less insecure until the government
n builds bulkheads out into the ocea
4 to protect the mouth OF the inlet.
