of the railroads than residents OF
many other cities. A railroad tie-up
might hinder the importation OF meat
and staples, such as -four. sugar. can
ned goods, etc. but the surrounding
country, with its wealth of produce
farms, chicken farms. dairies and
grain farms. would be able to do
much TO alleviate distress caused by
any lack Of food shipments.
II the Delaware farms could not
supply the needs of this city, there
are the New Jersey truck farms just
across the r1ver which could be call
ed on. The farmers of Delaware
could transport their produce to this
city by motor truck and automobile
OF even by the old.fashioned and
slower method OF horse-drawn We
hicles, and the New Jersey farmers
could manage 10 get their stun
acorss the river In some way.
Then Wilmington has the river and
an immense amount OF freight could
be handled through the river boats.
A concern that would feel the ef-
iects OF n railroad strike keenly is
the r. l. DUPONT de Nemours and
Company. Shipments OF powder would
be held up, and Il would be practically
impossible TO get their products to
the great shipping centers In any
large quantities. II was said az the
ofiice Of the concern this morning that
no intimation OF any embargo by the
railroads on thei rproducts had been
received yet. II was also stated that
the freight shipments OF the company
were 10 nearby places-Jersey City
being the most distant point.

The clean-shaven American motor

'BLALOCK WRITES A
LETTER To JUDGES

A. o. BlalOck, collector of internal
revenue in Georgia, with headquarters
in Atlanta, has written to the judges
Of the superior, city and county courts
Of the state advising them of the recent
attitude which the government has
assumed toward "moonshining. 1t is
likely that the counties of Georgia will
witness a strenuous campaign against
the unlawful whiskey-makers. The
letter is:
To judges Superior, County and City
Courts-Dear Sirs: Hon. b B. Boul-
din, revenue agent Of the division of
Georgia and Florida, has received no.
ttce from the department at Washing
On that after March 1 no guides, posse
men or informers would be employed,
and that raiding would only be carried
Oh by regularly appointed deputy col
lectors.
The revenue agent, having only
eight deputy collectors under him for
raiding purposes, will aid the counties
undertaking to enforce their laws To-
cally.
Experience has demonstrated that it
is almost useless to send these Off
GERS into counties where they fail to
receive the cooperation of citizens and
county officials. Counties where the
citizens and officials give their coop
Grafton are first entitled to the services
Of the federal officers.
There are approximately twenty
counties for each deputy collector,
therefore, you will readily understand
that it is impossible for one deputy col
lector to cover his territory and sup
press Illicit distilling and the illicis
sale of whiskey without the hearty CO.
operation of citizens and local officials.
1, therefore, deemed it advisable to
furnish you this information in order
that you might bring the same to the
attention of the citizens, juries and
officials of the counties of your cir
cult or county, as the case may be.
1t is my belief that, with the coop
Grafton of the citizens, juries and local
authorities, aided by efficient federal
officers, Illicit distilling, commonly
known as "moonshining" would soon
practically be a thing of the past in
Georgia.
To suppress such violations, only
upright, competent officers will be
sent out by the revenue agents and
the collectors Office, and what is now
known as stool-pigeons, informers and
branch-walkers will no longer be en-
ployed.
Upon request of local authorities Ct
any county a deputy collector will be
sent at the earliest practicable mo-
ment. Your truly

The Enemy's Advance.

With the United States covered by
spies, and with thousands of foreign
mechanics working in our factories,
ready to take up arms against US, the
leader of the enemy wins the favor of
the daughter of one of our high naval
officials. At has request, she steals the
plans of an aerial torpedo controlled
by wireless, which is Amedica's chief
refuge of defense The inventor,
lieutenant in love with her. is kidnap-
ped and the siege of America begins.
The girl learns of the duplicity of
tbs conspirator, and Selling her faith
er's sword, kills him. A destroyed
gives chase to the qacht carrying the
important plans and shoots it to pieces.
Meanwhile the foreign battery opens
fire. The Lieutenant electrocutes his
guard and summons the Atlantic Fleet
by wireless. The militia is also called.
The fleet annihilates the enemy's artil-
lery. Sunrise finds the lieutenant and
the girl united under the stars and
stripes. The entire Atlantic Squadron
is used in the picture, together with
10000 soldiers, marines and sailors,
including Secretary Daniels, Admiral
Fletcher, Admiral Winslow, Vice
Admiral Mayo, the war college ar
Newport and the staff of officers of the
Newport Training School.
