If the employees of the city's asphalt
repair plant should suddenly be ordered
into the trenches to resist a gas at

tectors of much the same type every
day as they work amid the gases. $50
degree heat and fine particles of dust.
Beginning July L the corps will get
busy converting the additional 500 tons
of asphalt material into street paving
product for use in the repairing of the
city streets during the ensuing year
Bids for the product were opened at
noon to-day, as follows:
Atlantic Refining Company, S17.37
per ton; United states Asphalt Refin-
ing Company. s20.32 per ton; Barber
Asphalt Paving Company. $21.97 for
trinidad Lake. and $30.S6 per ton for
Bermudas asphalt. City Commissioner
W. H. Lynch. superintendent of streets,
bought material from the Atlantic Com
pany last year for $21.21 per ton.
Increase cost of material and labor
will mean that the asphalt plant cam
not be operated as long as last year
perhaps, although a great deal more re-
pairing will be done in 1915.

chicago, ILL.,, June T. With the
members of the committee on reso-
lutions selected by their delegations, il
is becoming evident that the work of
the committee as a whole will be one
or elimination rather than of construc-
uon- Almost every man on the COM
mittee is loaded with planks of his
own making and many of them have
taken the care of extra declarations
for outside friends who feel called
upon to outline the policy of the party
for the next four years.
II there is one general purpose bet
ter Defined than any other on the part
OF the Leading members of the COM
mlttee 1t is to give the party decla-
rauons such an advanced tone as will
meet the demands OF Colonel Roose-
Welt and his followers. and to this end
they have made close study of the
ColoneIs recent utterances along the
lines OF preparedness.

with what is being uone toward franz

other military measures as will meet

Here and there opposition to extern
sive armament is encountered, but the
opposition is in such complete minority
as to render their protest almost neg
ligible.
Preparedness Will Prevail
The Roosevelt idea on preparedness
will. il is thought, prevail. The COM
mittee also will so far toward meeting
Mr.. Roosevelt's view on the question
of national defensiVeness, and with
this object in view there will be a

greeted a similar reference to Ireland.

So deplorable did the highway be-
come recently that some persons who
traverse il arranged with a contractor
TO fiji the holes with crushed stone,
but the Street and Sewer Directors
learned OF this action and had some
crushed stone spread over the holes.
Not only is Pennsylvania avenue
unsightly from Rodney street to the
city limits. but travel over il. whether
by carriage. wagon or automobile. is

Repeated efforts have been made to
have the Street and Sewer Directors
pave the avenue from Rodney street
to the city line. but without avail.
and the petition and protest filed to-
day is the latest move. The Street
and Sewer Directors generally have
met the requests with the eXplana-
ton that they have no money 20 pay
for having the work done
Some of the City Councilmen who
have been hearing these explanations
of mo money for paving" desire a
detailed statement from the Street
and Sewer Board OF the cost of streets
already paved by the Topeka Paving
Company. and a comparison OF that
cost with the cost of paving done by
the city Itself, so that the saving, If
any. can be computed.
When the list of streets 10 be paved
was made up by the Councimen, and
IL was decided TO award paving con.
tracts to the lowest bidders, many OF
the Councilmen understood that all
the money apportioned TO each ward
would not be expended in improving
streets on the preferred list, and that
there would be some money left to
pave streets on the secondary list
Some OF the COuncilmen now desire
TO learn just how the Street and
Sewer Directors are spending the paw
ing appropriations. The Street and
Sewer Directors this morning received
I Councils communication asking as ia
the saving by awarding contracts to
the Topeka Paving Company and the
board decided to answer the commu
nicatlon.

by Mr.. Garland this morning is as

DEFENSE PROGRAM

Plans for sending a strong delega-

annual convention of the Navy
League of the United States are being
worked out by John S. Rossell. Mr..
Rossell stated today that he has taken
the matter of sending a delegation
from Wilmington to the convention,
up with the Chamber of Commerce.
That body will likely conlider it in a
few days.
The convention is to be held in
Washington. March q to 30, and il
will include visit to Annapolis in
which the delegates will be given the
opportunity of witnessing all the ac-
tivities of the Naval Academy
The list of speakers for the con-
vontion is now being arranged by the
board Of directors of the league. An
effort is to be made to have every
section OF the country well represent
ed on this list One of the main OBJ
iects OF the convention will be TO
expedite national defense legislation,
and to this end speakers recognized
as authorities in their chosen sub
/ iects will be selected.
More than a thousand delegates are
! expected TO take part IN the lOuf-day
convention, which is to be held at the
New willard Hotel. kilograms were
sent out recently from national head
quarters to thirty-two State chairmen
of the league and several chairmen OF

French battleship of the same name
but it is obvious this is not the yes
sci referred to as having been lost.
The fact that there we're 1900 per-
sons aboard the lost ship strengthens
the belief that it was the former
transatlantic liner.
Shipping lists show a second steel
steamer Provence. but she is of only
3,941 tons, and it is doubtful whether
such a small boat would be crowded
with 1900 persons even in such an
emergency as carrying troops.
The Provence in all probability
was carrying troops either from or
to Salonika. The islands Of Malta
and Melos, where survivors were
landed are 500 miles apart
MelOs lies off the southeast coast
Of Greece. It is probable that the
Provence was sunk somewhere be-
tween the Greek west coast and the
