ARMY AND NAVY RECRUITS
GO FROM SNYDER

Snyder boys are rallylng very 10y
ally to the colOrs and the spirit OF
patriotism and the feel Of desire to
wear the uniform and defend the
country is growing stronger In the
hearts Of our young men. Postmaster
f.. n. Barnes who is authorized to
look after enlistments here stated
Tuesday that about a dozen young
men had already gone to the recruit
ing station for either army or navy
service and others are expected to
leave in a few days Seven men left
here last Monday. Those who have
nswered the call Of country so far
az reported are J. p Lauderdale'
w C. McCombs; r. l.. Gee from
Kent county; Mr.. Beaver; son OF
Postmaster Beaver 1t Fluvanna'
Young Mr.. Deer Of Fluvanna;
Mack vehon; Howard Bishop; Hen
ry Thompson; Shelton Leslie and
Mr.. Hancock OF Snyder. These are
good strong young men and We feel
proud Of them as they march away
at call OF duty.
The lower house OF congress want
ed to conscrlpt boys from 81 to 40
years old and the senate thought
enough could be gotten from 81 to
81. II is the policy Of the govern
ment to select unmarried men. Pos
slbly the senate figures that a man
who has remained unmarried TIL he
ls 10 years old Is no account any

TELEGRAPH|C WAR
REP0RTSCOMP|LED
FULL WAR FACTS DEMANDED


London. May 3--Amerlcans are
getting full facts In every feature OF
the British war. except actual figures
OF submarine losses and these may
be expected very soon.
There has been gathering OF
doubt and dIstrust In America re7
sultlng from a belief that the Brit
lHh officials have not been frank
with America in It's statements OF
submarine losses and may not have
told the full truth regarding success
Of the allies on the west front.
Prompted by this The United
Press has put II squarely up to the
face Of Lord Northcliff to state the
facts and he replied: Regarding
the loss OF tonnage by submarines.
there is no doubt the figures are
serious. | believe the government
will very soon publish the full facts
and figures but to pretend that a
war can be won by submarines is
preposterous.
81 am convinced that the daily
reports OF British advances on the
west front are the frankest state
ments ever made by any belllgerents

FORMER GOVERNOR f. ".
TUNNEL Died TUESDAY
Distinguished Citizen Suecumbs to
Bright's Disease at His Home
In LeWes.

Following an illness Of several weeks
former Governor Ebe w. Tunnel died
at his home, in LeWes. Tuesday after
noon, at o'clock. of Brights disease,
at the age of 73 years,
Funeral services will be held on FRI
day at his late home on the arrival OF
the noon train at Lewes.
A dignified, refined gentleman of the
early Delaware type, Mr.. Tunnel was
what can well be styled one Of the
States best citizens. OF an affable dis
position and knowing no class distinc.
tiOns, he had host of friends in all
walks of life. He always took an act
i've interest in the affairs Of his State
and locality, and, being a Democrat OF
the old school. for many years was
looked to by his party for advice. A
man of sterling integrity, he was held
in as high regard in the business world
as in the social world aud in politics.
He was born December 81, 1874, near
Blackwater, Baltimore hundred, Sussex
county.
In 1870 he was elected member Of
the lower house of the General Assem-
bly,, and was appointed clerk of the
peace for Sussex county in 1886. He
was the Democratic nominee for COVER
nor in 1884, but was defeated, but he
was the nominee of his party again in
1896, and at that time was elected. He
filled the position of governor with dig
nifty and demonstrated his fitness for
the office with which the voters of the
State had honOred him.
On May 26, 1898, there were present.
ed to the State, through the General As
sembly, portraits of many former gov
ernOrs of the State from l776 up to the
date of presentation. There were pOr-
traits of nine governors who had come
from New Castle county, ten who had
come from Kent county, and IA who had
been selected from Sussex county,
among the latter being Mr.. Tunnel.
Former governors of Delaware now
living are John HUM, Simeon S. Penne-
will and Charles r. Miller.
In explanation of the fact that Mr..
Tunnell was a candidate for governor
in 1894 and again in 1896, it is noted
that Joshua a. Marvil, Republican. who
was elected governor in 1904, died April
8, 1896, having served only three months.
He was succeeded by William TsWat-
son, Democrat, Speaker of the Senate,
who served until the next general cleo
tion in 1896 For many years the gov
ernOr of Delaware had been elected in
''Oif years." since 1896 such elections
have come in the same years as the
Presidential elections. William I. Wat
son died April l3. 1917.
