insists That Promise To Keep
Delaware Regiment Intact
Be Fulfilled

Governor John G.. Townsend, re-

noon of the disorganization of the
Delaware regiment at Admission,
Alabama, forwarded the following
telegram to Secretary of War
Baker:
Dover, Del, Oct. 8, 1917.
TO Secretary Of War Baker,
Washington, D. C.
When | went to Washington and
asked for recognition of the regi-
ment from Delaware you gave as
SCrance that it would be recogniz-
Ell and kept as unit. Upon that
assurance | appealed to the cit
lzenship of the state with results
highly gratifying.
IN every movement in this war
Delaware has taken her usual
historic position first. The Federal
government has the support of
.hlS commonwealth. While not
large in territory or population
hef citizens have done their part
more In point Of population we
nave furnished more than our
quota. If there were more than
one regiment in the state, there
would probably be no question OF
partial Reorganization
Expressing the strong opinion
u fler citizens, I ask that the Della,
ware regiment be kept intact
purely DeIaware's history and he,
recent record merits more thar
passing attention. Reports from
AhhlSton say that disorganizatior
naS begun. | present the demand
~ the citizenship of this state fol
our conSideration-that the regi
,Ieht from the first state in th'
oAon be maintained.
