LET EVERYONE UNDER
FLAG DO HIS Share

An extract Of the speech, made by the
Rev. Jas j. McSweeney, at the raising
of large American flag by Division No.
D.. Ancient Order Of Hlbernians In Hoe
kessin last Sunday has just reached here
and il is noteworthy for high spirit OF
patriotism of this society reflected by It.
Following the exercises, which opened
with an assembly call by i. r Wiyel,
cornetist, the flag was blessed by Father
McSweeney. The flag was raised by
Private Charles Gormley, Of the First
Delaware regiment while the audience
sang: "The Star Spangled Banner"
In his address, Father McSweeney ask.
ed what nation, ancient OF modern has
more cause to look upon its banner viii
pride and reverence than Americans. HI
spoke of the meaning of the flag, tn
unity it typihes, and of the fact tina
everyone who can claim the nation a
his land has had a hand in the growtl
Of the nation.
He spoke of the duty that ever
| American owes 10 his country and of the
mtility Of hanging the starry bannei
from homes and flag poles unless every
one is willing 70 do his share towards
the protection Of the honor OF that
banner.
Freedom is not license said Father
McSweeney, "rghts are always limited
when one conflicts with another. AT a
time like this it must be our duty to
support to the utmost the authorities OF
the land To fail in our parts would
be to render ourselves guilty OF in
| gratitude TO God.

NO Statement YET
FROM These CANDIDATES

Up to the early forenoon hours none
of the candidates for election TO the
school board, who failed 70 file their
campaign expense statement as required
by the corrupt practices act, had needed
the warning given yesterday by the at
torney generals Office that they must
file to escape punishment. IL is expected
that during the month all who were can
didates will get their statements on file
with Clerk of the Peace Wright.
There has been a general impression
in the city that no penalty attaches
for failure 10 file these statements, no
matter for what Office they were can
didates. This is an error as reading OF
the corrupt practices act distinctly re-
wells a provision calling for a fine OF not
less than $50 nor more than $1,000 OF
less than one month imprisonment nor
more than two years imprisonment.

TALK Of ambulance
FOR State REGIMENT
Friends Is Soldiers Think
City Should Show Some
Appreciation
MAYOR FAVORS
THE SUGGESTION

There is a movement now on foot to
arrange some fitting manner for the city
to show its appreciation Of the boys
of Delawares Own, who will be leav-
ing their homes for Camp Mcclellan be-
fore long Their departure will be on
date but a little over one year later
than when they last left here for the
border. At that time there was no
demonstration, whatever, although
crowds gathered on the streets to see
them off.
This time, however, II is desired that
there shall be some sort of blow out
for the lads and Mayor John w lawson
is quoted as having said that he would
like TO have the city show its appre-
citation Of the boys in a material way
as well as IN a patriotic demonstra-
tion.
lie is said TO have made the sugges-
tion that the city present the regiment
with an ambulance. II would cost about
$1,000 and if the city is 10 make the
presentation, it would be up to Coun-
ell to make the appropriation from the
special emergency fund. Otherwise the
money would have to come from pri-
vate sources.
Officers of the National Guard, how
ever, fear that there may be difficulty
in arranging q parade. There will be
only fifteen days after the start of the
mobilization next Wednesday to the day
when they leave for Admission and thii
is considered barely enough time to com
lplete the necessary preparations.

With a barrel of pepper on his hands
which has 10 be destroyed, II having
been confscated by the Government as
beng impure, United States Marshal
Martin j. FAIRY. is in a quandary as
to how he will dispose of it. The pep
per cannot be burned in the City Gre
matory as DR.. Y. NJ Myers, secretary
of the Board of Health, when appealed
to today to take tho material and burn
it., announced that this would be impos-
sible as it would cause a sneeziug iit
among thousands Of citizens.
1t has been suggested that the pep
per be turned over TO the war De-
partment to make hand bombs for the
use of the Allies in Europe. In the
meantime Marshal Fary is seeking a
berth for the pepper which was seized
a year ago.
