Hint for the Housewife.

If your fingers are fruit-stained af-

oughly before you let any water touch
them. That will take away the stain
at once, but If you wet them first,
you will find it very difficult to get
them clean.

RURAL BOARD OF NEW
CASTLE CONSIDERS CASES
DRAFTED MEN WHO INSISTED
UPON EXEMPTION GET REPORT
Other Cases Certified at the Meeting
of the Board at Newark Several
Townsend Boys Called On

Nine additional men in the rural
New Castle county district have been
certified for military service by both
the local and district exemption
boards and are now subject to call.
In addition to these the local board
has certified four other men for ser
vice and has exempted ten on various
grounds. Among exemption claims
allowed by the local board is that of
Frederick j. Pohl, formerly an instruc-
tor in English at Delaware College.
After severing his connection with
Delaware College, Mr.. Pohl rented a
small farm in Cecil county, Md. He
was among the first called in the
selective draft and passed the physical
examination. He then filed a claim
for exemption with the district state
board on occupational grounds. This
claim was disallowed and he appealed
the case to President Wilson. who
also refused the appeal. After Presi-
dent Wilson refused the appeal Mr..
Pohl, as is provided under the rules
of the selective. service, pressed an
appeal for exemption on dependency
grounds before the local board. He
claimed he was entitled to exemption
on the ground that his aged parents
were depending on him for support
and this claim was allowed by the
local board. All appeal cases to the
local boards are automatically re-
viewed by the state board and until
that board acts the action of the ap-
peal is not complete.
The men certified for service by
both boards follow:
George w. Perry, Yorklyn.

w. r. Powell, Newark.

Four Hundred Roman Priests
for ARMY ChaplainS
(By Gilbert o. Nations, Vice-Presdent of the Free
Press Defense League, So Bliss Building
Washington, D. CO.

Roman atholic Priest George j. Waring, who
enjoys the rank and salary of captain chap
lain of the 18th United States Cavalry, has in
formed the Roman Catholic hierarchy that four
hundred Roman priests to be appointed
chaplains in the army at an early date
Pursuant to this important information, Cardi-
nal Farley Of New York, is having eighty candi-
dates for the priesthood given military training
in connection with his cathedral college, The RO-
man priests who teach in this college are also
ceiving similar training.
On Sunday, May 13, the Cardinal caused to be
read in all Roman Catholic churches of his arch
diocese statement that forty priests from Greater
New York City could obtain commissions chap
lains in the army. 1t thus appears that Cardinal
Farley and Tammany Hall have assurance that
nearly many chaplans as are now employed
in the whole army will be selected from the
priests in New York City.
A chaplain holding the rank -. major receives
a salary of SO, 600 and one holding the rank OF
captain gets So 400 annually. More than 1,000,
600 in salaries from the national treasury would
seem to the New York Cardinal to be a most de-
1ectable morsel So are the Roman prelates in
the great cities looking forward in joyous antici-
patton of the opportunity to place hundreds Of
priests on liberal salaries
While Roman prelateS and politicians are thus
seeking day and night to obtain salaries from
the national treasury for hundreds of priests, they
are literally thrown into nightmares and convul-
siOns at the suggestion that priests should be
compelled to do the military service to which the
law subjects American citizens The National
Hbernian expresses in leading editorial in it's
May issue this year the cowardy attitude Of the
Roman priesthood towards real military service
in tie following words:
THE startling possibility that Catholic priests
may be conscrpted &rouses intense attention.
Surely it is affront to the dignity of patriotism
and insult to the sacredness of religion to
force priest from his place before the altar Of
God to stand in the maelstrom of fury

DIR. GA01BRELLs APPEAL TO THE PRESIDENT.
Perhaps the most significant feature of the
Convention was the adoption of resolution
by DR.. j. B. Gambrell, who, last year, was
rudely repulsed by General Funston, when
the Doctor asked for permission to hold
preaching services among the soldiers.
that 07ay Protestant church should be asking
for religious freedom here IN the United
States.
1t never had to be done, before
Protestant preachers constantly held their
evangelical services in the army during the
Revolutionary War, during the War of 1912,
during the War between the States, &c.
General Funston, however, made new rule
which vastly favored Catholic PROSECUTING
among the soldiers, because the Romanist
services are not evangelical.
The Protestants took the atfront tamely,
and they have been submitting to it tamely
ever since; and if Dr. Gambrell's mild reso-
luton, passed by the Convention, represents
the extent of their efforts to secure equal
treatment, they may prepare to see the pope's
chaplain walk right into power.
The Gambrell resolution reads
Reaffrming the immemorial position of Bap-
lists, insist that the preaching of the gospel
or any other form of religious belief should, Of
right, be free around the whole world, and the
right to profess and to practice any reli-
gion is not to be brought into question by Tsar,
Kaiser, potentate, ecclesiastical council, any
other human authority whatever. Therefore:
We hold unwaveringly to the belief that in
the army camps preaching should be free to all
alike, Protestants, Catholics, Jews, Baptists sub
ject only to such limitations the exigencies Of
military order may require.

even in time of war, Mr.. George Greet has ans

move every lingering doubt Mr.. Creel is chair
man Of the Committee on Public Information APP
pointed by the President; and while he has no
way of legally enforcing his DEGREES at present. he
has the prestige which comes from such designa-
ton, and can exert powerful influence. When
Mr.. Creel was appointed believed wise Sc

single instance of oVer-zealousness Will not de-
stroy his usefulness; but Mr. Creel has demon
strated that he is not nerrant, that he fails at
times to reveal a sense OF proportion.
The Washington Herald of Wednesday con-
tanned sane and timely editorial, commenting
upon the fact that the shell which killed two
nurses on board the Mongolia had been made
seventeen years ago, according to what appeared
to be well-authorized and officially sanctioned
statements. The Herald was clearly within the
proprieties, not to say it's rights and it
speaking in the public interest when it said:

pertS that certain shells Fabricated prior to 1890
are defective will not satisfy the American public

Several shells were almost decomposed,' one pre-
maturey exploded in the barrel of the gun, put

Following the publication Of the editorial, Mr.
Creel called up the editor Of the Herald by tele-
phOne-not even considering it wo"+h his while

spirit OF the article without conuudlctinB the

in which he exercises them. The country can be

In South America the American
engineer is building automobile
roads, erecting bridges and digging
mines. In Russia he is building
railroads, designing great fortifca-

way and harbor improvements. In
France he is helping the master
minds of the world prepare for a
peace which is to usher in the crea-
ton of magnificent cities the like of
which the world has not seen. In
Africa he is going over the ground
which shall later be traversed by one
of the longest single lines of rail-

United States and our territories he
is busted with a multitude of tasks
which shall make for a greater coun-
try and more prosperous and more
