Special Dispatch from
L. HARPER LEIGH.

WASHINGTON, Nov. i7--Des5lte the
tremendous loss Of life and the suffer
ing, starvation and disease visited on
many Of the European nations and ra-
cial groups, II Is not probable any OF
them will disappear as a result Of the
war, or even enter into a period Of
decline.
Such is the tremendous vitality OF
the white breeds of humanity that
they can come back" after almost
any kind OF ordeal.
Only a few races OF dark-skinned
Pacific Islanders. and some tribes Of
indians. have tailed to exhibit this
tenacity in historical times.
DR.. Ales Hrdlicka, curator OF the di-
vision Of physical anthropOlOgy in the
u. S. National Museum. does not look
for any racial degeneracy in Europe
and rather expects that all the belli-
gerent nations, in generation or two,
viii be strong and flourishing, almost
as II nothing had happened to them.
Citing some notable instances in the
past he says:
The loss OF life in Europe has been
tremendous And what percentage will
return Of the prisoners now IN Ger
many, particularly the Russians, who
find no champion to defend or protect
them?
And what will be the price Germany
herself will pay for her mental aber-
ration-not TO mention Austria and Ser
bia2 Will Germany ever recover from
this physical and moral debacle2 Time
alone can tell. Yet in the Thirty Years
War the losses In Germany, from war
and plague, were far greater than
those Of the present; but the nation
did not perish or degenerate.
France was 'bled white by Napo-
leon, set she remains capable Of the
Marine and Verdun and of wonders yet
TO come.
"The Czech people are forever in
life and death struggle with the leu
ton, and at times have been in con-
1ict with nearly the whole Of Europe.
yet they have sustained this struggle
since the sixth century. Between 1918
and 1859 they lost fonr-flfths Of their
numbers, and for 200 years after that
were reduced to political slavery and
intellectual repression, but today they
stand at the head, In every respect, OF
ths various natlonalities who compose
the medieval Austrian conglomerate.
What, in view Of these examples
and they could be multiplied-will
mean in the long run the loss Of say
a hundred or two hundred thousand
men to this great nation in the war;"
The capacity Of the human breed ia

FINE Wrist WA CHI IS
COPS Gift TO FRIEED

Patrolman Bernard T skepski, the
FIRST member Of the local police depart
ment. who left here today with the
National Army for Camp Dix, was pre-
scented with a silver wrist watch by his
fellow officers in the department. The
presentation was made at the police
station shortly before O'Clock on sat-
urday night, by Police Captain Kane.
Ofilcer Skepski was so surprised that
he could merely mutter thanks, bat
young woman friend who accompanied
him to the police station broke down.
oDd cried The watch was engraved
az follows: ITO B. T. Skepski from
his friends Of the Wilmington Police
Department"
Following the address by Captain
Kane. the officers present grasped
their former comrade by the hand and
wished him good luck In MS new
field. The idea Of presenting the watch
TO Ofilcer Skepski, who will leave this
morning with the contingent for Camp
Dix, was lrst suggested by Acting
Sergeant Mcbride last week ami The
idea was at once seized by the other
officers as a means Of extending their
good wishes TO their fellow ofllcer.

CHECK UP NOW ON
ALL FIRE Calls
Department Takes Step to
Prevent Monkey Runs"
in Future
MESSAGES MUST
GO TO POLICE

Determined to put a stop TO the nu-
merous false alarms Of fire being re-
ceived by the city fire companies over
telephone. Fire Chief Golden has is
sued an order whereby all such calls
for assistance must come through the
police department. II is thought that
with the police receiving the phone
calls for FIRE assistance. some check
can be made through the telephone
companies as to who sends in The calls
and where their phones are loo Ted.
This action was taken after FIRST AS
sistant Fire Chief Donohoe had been
called from his bed at 4 o'clock yes
terday morning, by a man who said ne
was George Gross and who reported
fire at the Mlnquadale Home, on the
causeway. Assistant Chief Donohoe
ordered the Fame company to the
home. but there was no fire there.
Under the new ruling any one de-
string assistance from the lire com
panies will report their name and ad-
dress and the location Of the fire to
the police station and the operator
there will summon the nearest IRE
apparatus to the scene Of the fire.

CAN WORLD WAR UNDERMINE WHITE RACE?
SCIENTIST TELLS Why WE NEED NOT FEAk

come back. not only after the decima-
tion Of war. but after centuries Of
stunted and cramped economic life,
scanty food. poor clothing and shelter,
seems to prove that in the mysterious
substance called the i'germ lplasm"
there is preserved through countless
generations a possibility Of reaching a
certain stage Of physical and mental
perfection, whenever the proper en-
vironment-food, warmth and shelter
is provided.
After the long night Of the middle
ages, with its plaques, lack Of santa
ton, and poor food, the peoples of
western Europe appear to have recov-
cred the height, physique and mental
aleltness which we believe they had at
a more primitive period Of their ex-
istence.
Certainly under those conditions the
race did not go back permanently and
any race which ever had high ply
steal standard seems to recover 1t
whenever it gets the opportunity after
periods Of depression.
Just as the acorn of the scrub oak
when planted in rich, weil-watered soil
will, in. time, produce a full-sized oak,
although it has been scrub for gener-
atoms, so does the human breed seem
capable OF repeating us standard. Ac-
quired diseases, de;ormities and weak
nesses seem to make no impression on
the race.

(Unted Press stan correspondent }
WASHINGTON. Nov. i9-One Of the
comparatively trifling little detail tasks
Of the American Red Cross In connec-
ton with its siOO,OO0,OOU war lob over
seas was 10 build thirteen giant de-
partment stores at various places in
France.
These big establishments are used
for the storage and distribution OF the
millions OF dollars worth OF Red Cross
supplies flowing to France from this
country at tho rate Of 1900 tons a
month.
Cables announcing the completion OF
these stores and detailing some or the
uses to which they are put were re-
celvsd here today.
The Red Cross calls them warehouses,
but cables that their contents are as
mum, rous and as vBried as those OF an
American department store. One Of
them, in Paris, is so big that freight
cars can run right into the building
and unload.
II is to these big stores that the war

transportation, to hospitals ana other
institutions.
"A large proportion Of these supplies
is received directly from the United
States and is forwarded by the Red
Cross Supply Service from chapter
workrooms and from relief societies
affiliated with the Red Cross. owing
to the great shortage of ocean tonnage,
large quantities of supplies have been
purchased by the Red Cross Commits
sion in France
"The stocks Of goods carried by the
warehouse include every lind OF medI-
cal supplies, drugs and surgical instru-
ments for the use Of hospital STATS.
Foodstuffs, clothing, building materials
blowing implements and tools are also
being imported in large quantities for
the assistance Of French refugees.
RED Cross warehouses in Paris alone
have a capacity Of three and half
million cubic feet and can take care OF
$4,000 tons Of supplies at a time.
American college men, many of
whom formerly served as drivers in tho
American Ambulance, are directing the
work. while the force Of workmen IS
recruited from veteran Franch soldiers
and Belgian men no longer ft for mill
tary duty. The French Government
and the municipal authorities OF Paris
