tinued its lone vigil three miles OH
Cane Henry waiting-so the crew says
the arrival of the long-heralded su-
per-submarine from Germany The
submarine with her ten passengers
should have arrived yesterday the
crew says. but bad weather or the
necessity for lodging warships prob
ably has delayed her.
One theory held here is that the
Timmons is acting only as a guiding
buoy for the submarine. marking the
three-mile limit for the underwater
vessel. Another is that the subma-
rine is really headed for New York
and that the Timmons is being used
to draw British warships to the Vir-

consumers LEAGUE
Wants FORD REELECTED

That the services Of Samuel NJ.
Ford. inspector of meats, have the ap-
provaI of the executive council Of the
Consumers League, is evidenced in
the request for his re-appontment
for another term OF two years con-
tanned in a letter which was sent to
City Council today Mr.. Ford has al
ready served two terms or four years.
The letter follows:
300 Ford Building.
Wilmington, Del,
June q, 1916.
Members Of the City Council, Will
mington, Del.
Gentlemen: The executive council
Of the Consumers League, represent
ing a large number of consumers OF
meat. desires to urge upon City Coun-
Gil the re-appointment Of Samuel
Ford to the position Of inspector OF
meats for the city Of Wilmington.
After careful inquiry in regard to the
work of Mr.. Ford, we are convinced
that he is conscientious and efficient
and that he has made an excellent
record as meat Inspector and has
high ideal of the civic value OF his
position.
The Office Of meat inspector is i'm
portant in relation to public health
and needs the services of an efficient
and fearless man. We have such 9
man in Mr.. Ford. and we feel that his
services ought to be retained. Th'
appointment Of an inspector who doe'
not do his duty properly, entirely nul
lifes this work, and not only endan
gers the public health. but is waste
of public funds.
We trust that City Council will moi
let any other considerations over
rule the fact that Mr.. Ford is a capa'
bic and diligent official of the kind
that the city needs to retain in it:
employ, and we hope that by his re-
appointment in July they will secure
his valuable services to the commu'
nifty for another two years.
Very truly yours,
ANNA WOODS BIRD,
Executive Secretary.
