SOLDIERS NEEDS
GREAT AS EVER
Red Cross Points Out Ne
cessity Of Continuing
Work for the Men
ITALIANS MUST
BE KEPT WARM

Incredible as 1t may seem, some VIII
mington people have the idea that the
need Of Red Cross supplies is not so
great, and have even proposed to return
half-hnlshed articles TO the head
quarters under this false impression
that there IS no need for them. The
boys in camps overseas need warm win
ter garments just as much as II the
lighting was going on. The armistice
did not empty the hospitals OF thous-
ands OF sick and wounded soldiers. The
Red Cross urges people not to fail our
soldiers now.
The greatest need Just now Is for
$500 bags and housewives" for Ital-
Ian soldiers, who must spend the win
ter on the ice-clad Austrian front
There Is a great scarcity OF helpers to
sew these bags, which must be done
within a week.
All women who can spare any time
are asked to answer this emergency
call and to obtain the materials from
the He'd Cross headquarters In the
old City Hail. The bags will be fllled
abroad by the Red Cross. The Red Cross
calls for continued help for the world
at this time when some are slackening
their efforts.

That Anthony Meile, IS years old

scrapper seemed evident on the hearing
Of testimony in Municipal Court, this
morning, when he was arraisned on q
charge OF dlsorderly conduct. Evidence
Of his estimation OF his pugllstlc abll-

threatened Patrolman Laskowskl, great.
ly his superior In physical build, that
III he didn't leave him go he'd punch
him." He didn't succeed In punchlnng
the offlcer but did receive a fine OF IS

The officer told the court that he ran
down q crowd OF boys at the corner Of
Third and Madison streets, where a bon
fire had been built, and nabbed Anthony.
The youth did not relish the idea OF be-
Ing arrested, and told the officer so I'm
some violent language and threatened
to punch him II he didn't let him go.
Anthony said that he was waiting on
the corner for friend when arrested
and denied having anything TO do with

exercises combination OF geography
as well as other value.
In every lodge and fraternal society
In this city and State, special reference
has been made TO the need for volun-
tary food saving, and in women's club
and organizations, churches and all civic
bodies, the same spirit OF cooperation
has been displayed. Not an instance has
been found where the interests called
upon TO devote special attention to the
demand for future saving Of food in or
der that Europe may be fed, have failed
to respond whole-heartedly. The ap-
peal by Mr.. Hoover has been basis OF
all OF the programs and exercises.
Edmund Mitchell, food administrator
FOR Delaware. said today that he was
gratihed with the manner in which the
State as a whole had rallied TO the
call for a proper observance OF Con-
servatlon Week. 1t was indicative he
believed OF the fart that the people as
a majority were back OF the food ad-
ministratlop and what it stands for.
He announced that from today on
grocers and food dealers would not be
required TO keep counter registers,
showing the amount OF sugar sold to
each customer. But he emphasized the
point that counter registers kept until
today must be returned to food head
quarters in the Odd Fellows building.
There is plenty OF sugar for every
one in sight, more than the people can
use" he said. Therefore, there is no
necessity for any one to hoard any
sugar. Dealers viii be required to see
that no customer receives more sugar
than is necessary for their needs It's
a matter Of judgment and knowledge
that only the dealer himself has"
The administrator called attention to
the need for voluntary saving, in ac-
cordance with the request OF Mr.. Hoov-
er, so that when plans for the relief
Of the hungry nations OF Europe are
determined, there will be sufficient sup
plies here and ready response to the
needs Of the situation.

Mr.. Marvel today received word from

announced that the Red Cross Will con-

derstanding that a drive for funds
would be conducted in the spring of
1919.
"As we shall conduct no further cam
paigns for war funds" Mr.. DAWSON
wired, "the roll call or membership
campaign win constitute the very foun-
dalton Of Red Cross effort In the future.
Il firmly believe that the future OF
the Red Cross will be devoted TO SER
vice which cannot receive less than the
whole-hearted and active support Of the
whole American people. Conferences
held with The President this week and
with our commission in Europe, have
shown clearly that the field for Red

She remained there until last Monday,
when she returned home, seemly much
improved, but was prostrated following

other social uplift movements in which
