gested that an amendment be made
to this motion as follows: "That this
government wait ten years" This mo-
tion was not seconded, however. and
the original motion was voted on, FIVE
persons favoring it, three of those vot-
ing for it being non-residents. One
voted against it.
Miss Burritt. who arrived from New
York about s o'clock, arrived at the
hall about this time and made an ad-
dress, in which she said she was q
daughter of the American Revolution
in that her forefathers were Pilgrims
and members OF the Revolutionary
Army Miss Burritt contended that
Delaware had no right to send
patches of men 10 the front to be
slaughtered" and that the idea OF
conscTiption was blow at de-
mocracy, for which our forefathers
had fought with their blood. Miss
Burritt said she believed if the peo-
pie wanted war, ii would be easy to
secure soldiers, but that strange
forces appeared to be at work in this
country in forcing this war"
Several of those present appeared
TO take offense at what the speaker
was saying, and asked "if she did not
think the Administration knew more
about running the Government than
she did. The speaker replied: Il
know more about such things than
some Of the Congressman at Washing
ton who are not as wise as I am &"
"The cornerstone of democracy on
which this Government rests.r she
exclaimed, sis the freedom of con-
science between man and his God.

act is blow at this bulwark.r

lists at No. 702 Market street, and an.
nounced thar the open air meeting

streets had been cancelled because oi

we're present when this announcement
was made questioned the speakers

"Your sub-comms.tee on supplies
recommends that wo Immediately
call for tho mobilization OF the re-
sources OF land and energy in the
State.
I'VE arc at war. What avail
will II be II wo raise a great army
and that army cannot move CT can
not stand because we cannot feed
II or because we are confronted
with the necessity of starving our
selves or starving tho army.
This war has already arrived at
the place where 1t does not depend
so much upon the valor OF our men
at arms as it does upon the intelli-
gence and energy and initiative Of
our men and women and children
at home.
we must look the facts in the
face. Bread cards and meatless
days for weeks or months or years
are looking US in the face.
I'VE must recognize this; we
must in this particular case, mako
provision against tho worst. II is
Tor US to say now whethIr we will
feed our army IN a long drawn out
war which God forbid-or II is for
us TO say, now every one who can
do-will do-and everyone U'ho can
produce enough food TO feed him
self and a soldier or sailor on the
field or at sea will do such. Our
mission and function at this mo-
ment, without a moment to lose, Is
to get food, and get food in tho
abundance our unused or neglected
resources assure US is possible.
we all know what our State
could Go II it would. It is not ask
ing too much to insist that Della
ware raise twice as much food as II
diG last year. We mean that kind
of food which goes into tho barns
and the warehouses awaiting the
long days, whom the land is rest
iEg.
Our Industrial system Is mobi-
lized. Our ansportatiOn systems
are in the hands OF splendid people.
In both the latter cases we have
no occasion for solicitude or alarm
In fact wo can we'll afford to ignore
these in our consideration.
I'VE want at this moment to mo-
bilize the patriotism and the ell
ergy of the people Of Delaware aud
put these to work. This is not the
time for. a man to say: Il have
tho money to pay foI what / may
want TO eat, or for what those
near and dear TO me may want to
eat"
"This IS the time-and a month
from now it will be too late-for
every man who believes that he
can contribute to the raising of a
bushel OF potatoes, or a hundred
or a thousand bushels OF potatoes,
or a bushel Of corn. or a hundred
or a thousand bushels of corn; now
is the time for such a person
man or woman-to see to IL that
the potatoes or the corn or what
ever else II might be shall be
raised.
There is a call to arms. The
young men of the country will be
armed and equipped and trained.
Those who do not enlist will be
called slackers, perhaps. II is for
those who remain at home to real
ize that II we depend on the men
in the field to fight for the princl-
pies for which we stand, those
