500 cooks, as well as men for the
medical corps, $4,000 men for the in
fantry, 1000 men for the signal corps
who must have a knowledge of cable

there is not a much longer time be-
fore the draft will be made, and af-
ter being drafted you will have TO go
where you are sent, but at the present
time you can chose your branch OF
service. If two or more join you can
arrange it in Baltimore, Nd, so that
you will stay together. Again, you
will be under regular army officers,
and may derive the benefit of their
learning. Men must be between the
ages of IS and forty, and the salaries
range from $50 to SS1, enlistments to
last for war only. Delaware is still
short of its quota and an effort is be-
ing made to make this up before the
draft starts. For full information
apply to the nearest army recruiting
station, which is 20S Loockerman ST.,

master. Don't wait until they say
they want you-they want you right

FORT RASLET"

Congressman Polk announced We'd
nesday that he has taken up with
the Secretary of War, and would take
up also with Senators Wolcott and
Salisbury, the naming of the new
fortitication in Delaware as Fort
Haslet.
Mr.. Polk explained, in his letter to
Secretary Baker, that Colonel John
Haslet was the man who organized
and commanded the first Delaware
regiment in the Revolutionary War
He was killed while leading his
troops at the battle of Princeton, Jan
uary 3. 1777. The Congressman ex-
pressed his belief that the people of
Delaware would appreciate the nam
ing of the new fort in memory of this
earliest of their warrior heroes, who
had sealed with his hearts blood the
determination Of Delaware to main
tain liberty.
The area of the new fort and its
ground is reported to be about $50
acres. 1t will be one of the most i'm
portant coast defence works in the
Middle Atlantic States. It's exact To-
cation is not mentioned, for reasons
of public policy.

MILFORD LIQUOR DEALERS
RECEIVE Their REWARD
Two Men and One Woman. All
Colored, Plead Guilty And Are
Each Sentenced.

Those who have attempted to beat
the law and sell whiskey are finding
that they are having more trouble and
punishment than falls to those who
obey, and live respectfully and hon
estly. Recently the police of all the
towns of lower Delaware have been
rounding up those who bring in whis-
key by automobile, by baggage and
by other smuggling means. In both
Kent and Sussex county the courts
have been hearing pleas of guilty,
and sentencing the culprits to vari-
Gus fines and Imprisonment.
At Georgetown last week, Peter
Nichols, cOlOred, of Milford, charged
with having more than one quart OF
liquor in his possession, pleaded gull
ty and was sentenced to pay a fine of
S1O0 and costs and be imprisoned nine
months
Lizzie Owens, colored, also of Mil
ford, charged with Transporting whis-
key, pleaded guilty and was sentenc-
ed to pay a fine of $50. and in default
be imprisoned for three months.
Robert Hudson. colored. who like
wise halls from Milford, entered a
plea of abetting in the transportation
of more liquor than is permitted by
law and was sentenced to pay a fine
of $50 and cost of prosecution and in
default of payment serve three
months in prison.
Then that part of the fools who
will carry pistols or other deadly
weapons, are finding it costs about
$50 or three months in Jail to per-
sist in doing it. as that is the penalty
given William Burton for such an Of
tense. If they want to carry fire.
arms let them enlist-that is exact
ly what they will be required to do,
and also use them. Serving in the
army should be just the job the pis-
tol toter wants.
Milford whiskey guzzlers have been
getting a supply from the vicinity of
Bowers Beach for several weeks, but
last week Jim Burris and his wife
fell into the hands of the law. With
Joseph Smith, they with several
quarts of whiskey were arrested by
the officers last Saturday, and taken
to Dover to answer for their break
ing the law.
Better be respectable and a good
citizen-it pays better in the long
run.
