Making Changes at Power

From Running
SUBURBANITES HAD
TO USE STEAM CARS

The people OF Wilmington and vicin-
lty. who use the trolley cars early in
the morning were compelled to walk
this morning because the "Old reliable"
trolley failed to come along at the
usual time. The subu banites were in
the same plight and where steam cars
were available they did a rushing busl-
ness. But fortunately the delay was
not OF very long duration, as the ca ;
were running on about their usual
schedules before O'Clock.
The trouble was caused by the max
ing Of some Improvements at the power
house, which necessitated the cutting
of the current.
The company made the following
statement as to the cause Of the delay Il:
Incident to carrying out some i'm
provements in the power house. II was
necessary to make certain changes In
connection to the railway switch
board bus-bars and although the
changes were almost completed within
the allotted time, some slight delay did
occur. which prevented the supply OF
power to the cars at the usual time.
The usual schedule was re-estab-
lished by little after Z O'Clock. We,
of course, regret the inconvenience
caused our patrons, which Is also d.

Captain Clyde E. Gray has returned
to his home in Wilmington from mem
orable war experiences in the thick OF
the lighting on the French front last
spring and summer. Captain Gray was
with the Sixth Field Artillery in the
First Division, A. E. f., for seven
months beginning last January. This
was a ''shock" division. the title given
10 picked troops who. attack and who
repel the heaviest attacks Of the enemy.
Speaking today, to a reporter for The
Evening journal, Captain Gray said 1t
was his division that took Cantigny,
the first town captured by Americans
in the war, and the first occasion when
the Germans discovered that American
soldiers were grimly different from the
Joke the Huns had fondly imagined them
to be. The captain said the division
lost heavily at Cantigny, but over the
10 miles there were scattered bodies in
the proportion Of three dead Germans
to one dead American.

The one thing that seems certain
Is that there Will be no extension or

faced with brick. The pike, however,
is TO be shut off for two weeks longer
in order to allow the cement that holds

a stretch OF roadway through the Worth
