music which was audible TO the city
limits. Before the electric thrill had
died away, the assemblage gave a
fervent three cheers for America and
each OF her allies.
The singers remained standing at
salute while the cornet played "raps,
the military Good Night"
The moon looked down upon the
largest crowd that had gathered yet, at
last nights sing.
Governor John G. Townsend, Jr., was
visitor at The sing last night. The
Governor enjoyed the evening, and
thought the sing a fine affair.
Mr. Barnhsrt paid a tribute to the
heat by appearing out In a Palm Beach
suit and yellow necktIe, instead OF his
customary uniform. When he wanted
TO know how the girls liked his rig,
Former Judge George Gray called his
attention 10 the fact that he was wear
ing the woman suffrage colors. Led
by Mrs. Florence Bsyard Hllles, the suf-
fraglsts who were within hearing dis
tance on the grandstand, applaudee
loudly.
Next Tuesday night the registered
members OF the Community Chorus
will assemble at the Hotel dupont. and
march in procession around the square
TO their places In the grandstand.
Mr.. Barnhart announced last night
that he desired TO hold a children's
night, when the children, who are al
ways present In large numbers, would
have the stand and the regular chorus
would be In the audience. They would
wear red, white and blue badges, and
the girls would wear white dresses. The
boys, ne suggested, would wash their
faces and hands as their part OF spruc-
Ing up for the occasion. The idea OF
special night for the children met with !
vigorous applause from chorus and
,rowd.
The thousands present enjoyed i'm
nensely the selections played by the
Orchestra quartet OF
lorns. They played an arrangement
Il the sextet from Lucia" and the solo
ornetlst OF the Victor Talking Machine
played "The Lost Chord ana
The Rosary"

This action would have constituted
such a menace to Mediterranean ship

ports that it would have taken prac-

The loss by Austria Of three dread
naughts, however, has relieved the sit

When war was declared Austria had
two completed dreadnaughts with two

were also six older and slower vessels

Allied counter offensive had begun on

The experience Of the British in this
battle illustrates the versatility Of
General Foch's strategy. They were
moved from their previous positions
some distance away, expecting to go to
the defense Of the Marine line. Sud-
denly, they were diverted 10 their
present positions, arriving on the night
Of the 10th. They were ordered to at
tack the next morning. at the same
time relieving the Italians who had
been holding the Germans successfully,
but who needed rest. The German 18th

women from this State to study to be-

Since the last Red Cross drive for
nurses. conducted under the direction
Of Mrs. Joseph Bancroft, and which was
so successful, II women have enlisted
In the military and 40 In civilian nurs-
ing service In this state, which shows
that the women OF Delaware are alive
to the needs OF the country and are
willing to do their part.
Very encouraging reports are being
received from down the State. one
woman walked ten miles to Bridgeville
yesterday to register. She was the first
to enroll In that part Of the State.
The inducements offered women be-
tween i9 and 30 years to study TO be-
come nurses, were never so attractive
as now. The student can select her
own course. either civilian or military
but her willingness to accept call for
home and foreign service, would great
~ aid the campaign.
