THE MASKED BALL"

Christopher Race is engaged, with
his Scarlet Runner, to take Ponsonby
Fitzgerald, an eccentric novelist,
and q party of friends to a promin-
ent ball of society people. The af-
fair as planned by Fitzgerald, is to
end in a great joke, whereby his
party will be awarded the prize for
the most sensational entrance to
the ball. Christopher looks forward
to the adventure as a lark. He re-
ceives quite a shock when he is given
by Miss Durvary, the girl of the
party, a revolver with instructions
to use it if necessary. He begins to
suspect that all is not as it should be,
and that Fitzgerald and his friends
are after more than the prize. At a
critical moment of the ball, Christ
opher halts proceedings with shot,
and makes Fitzgerald return the
Jewels he has taken from the dancers
in his act as highwayman. Fitz-
gerald makes the best of the situa-
ton and the affair is passed off as
a joke. Miss Duvray afterwards
thanks Christopher for what he has
done and tells him something of her
relations with Fitzgerald. Christ
opher becomes interested, whereup-
on the girl suddenly changes her
manner and laughs, declaring the
whole thing after all to be a joke
But Christopher has his doubts and
is satisfied to have things turn out as
they did. This picture will be shown
at the Arcade tonight.

WHAT PART WILL OUR
WOMEN PLAY IN The WAR

Asnes Beppler answers this ques
tion in the July woman's Home Com
panion when she says:
And women American women
They have a big and a hard part to
play in the nations struggle for right.
Whatever may have been their senti-
ments before a state Of war was de-
clared. honor and honesty now demand
The eight leading colleges for women
which played their loyal services to
the Administration, blazed a trail
which we may wisely follow No one
can accuse the heads Of these colleges,
or their faculties. Of harboring the
military spirit On the contrary, il
was well-known that some Of them
were earnest advocates Of peace, The
document which they endorsed, and
sent to Mr.. Wilson, breathed a spirit
of integrity as well as Of courage and
devotion. ?l
Although we believe that the settle |
ment OF international difficulties by |
war is fundamentally wrong, we recog- |
nize that in a world crisis such as
this it may become our highest duty |
to defend by force the principles upon
which Christian civilization is founded.
Any service which we can render,
and $50 far as we can speak for them)
any service which the thousands Of
rained women whom we have sent out
rom our colleges can render, we here
~ place at the disposal Of our country"

THE CALLING of an extra session
Of the legislature of Delaware is more
than a probability, and Governor
Townsend will probably issue the
call at an early date. The ceding Of
the land to the United States govern
ment for war purposes of the land
needed near Milford, will be one of
the most important items of the bus
mess to be transacted by the legis-
lature; but. there are others Of great
Importance to the people as well.
The liquor business during the con-
tinuGnce of the war should be con-
sidered carefully. and the laws be so
arranged that the sale of all kinds of
intoxicating liquor shall cease in the
limits of Delaware for at least dur
ing the continuance of the war. This
will conserve the food resources of
the country as well as the labor re-
sources; and the results of labor will
be increased through a sober and
capable working population. There
will be no need for a prolonged ses-
sion, as all the work can be accomp-
lished in two weeks or less.
Milford chronicle., 1917-07-06

THE effort to have full regiment from
Delaware is assured, and after the Gov
ernor has appointed the new officers for
the third battalion and assigned the men
to each Of the new companies from those
OF the second battalion which is not yet
called into the United States service
but which will be on July 25th-the regi-
ment can be formed and turned over to
the Government. The filling of the ranks
to war strength will have to be made
from those conscripted-exactly the same
as other states will do, and as the United
States will do to fill the ranks of the
standing army Of the United States which
is about thirty thousand men below war
strength. Every man who goes from
Delaware should serve with the Delaware
boys in a Delaware regiment. If you de-
sire to serve in the army enlist now with
the Delaware troops.
Milford chronicle., 1917-07-06

WITH EVERY interest and every
part of civic government against the
liquor business in the United States,
It now seems that this great evil must
be legislated out of existence-at
least for the duration of the great
war, which is now enveloping the
world. The effort of the liquor in
terests of Wilmington, Delaware, to
defeat the anti-saloon people at the
election to be held next November in
that city and in New Castle County,
clearly tells the terror that those
who are engaged in the liquor bust
ness in that part of Delaware, feel
as to the probable results. In the
contest in the United States Congress
liquor is certainly doomed, and only
the brewery interests entertain any
hope for the future in the United
States of North America, and that
they hope to come through the in
huence of President Wilson. AL
ready the retail dealers are reported
to be charging double prices for
whiskey, and the price of beer must |
follow in the advance; but, we be-
ieve that the entire business is
ioomed to be wiped off the face of
he entire continent-for at least dur
ng the continuance of the war. May
he day soon dawn when the United
States will be a sober nation. The
great business cities of the South and
Vest have found bone dry laws, well
'nforced, to be beneficial. and the
astern part of the country will have
he same experience.

THE liquor interests of Wilmington are
making every kind of obstructive effort
to defeat the purposes of the anti-license
election which is to be held next Novem-
Der in that city. Their effort to prevent
formation of the registration boards, and
all preliminary work necessary to hold
the election in Wilmington, as well as in
rural New Castle County, clearly indi-
Gates a deep rooted fear for the result of
the elections. From the newspapers and
from those advocating the wet" side of
the liquor question, proclamation has
been made from time to time, that there
is an overwhelming majority in the city
of Wilmington against local option. The
action of the liquor people nov clearly
shows that they notsonly fear the result,
but believe that thev must resort to every
method of obstruction possible to save
their cause from defeat. The business
people of Wilmington now see that the
rum business is sapping their business
vitality, and at the same time injuring |
he results of manufacturing, as well as
he physical condition of the men and
women. The moral side of the question
5 getting home to the business people
nd it is that side Of the question, which
) hardest for the liquor people to combaI.
'Orce liquor out and help all the peeps

nd civil conditions.
