Following is the text Of the address oa
Governor John G. Townsend, Jr., at the
conference of governors in connection
with the recent peace confcrepce in Phil
adelphia:
Mr. President, Chairman, Governors
and Ex-Governors, you Of the East and
the West and the North and the South,
Ladies and Gentlemen: IL is wonder
full inspiration to me to realize that IN
this fight for Liberty which VIC are waging
today, Just as truly as did our forefathers
in rs, there is no North, there is no South,
there is no East, there liz no West, there
is no Democrat or Republican, but stand
ing together as one man, we will stand
back OF this and back OF
this old flag To win the waT
Delaware, in the first fight for liberty,
when other states were hesitating, from
the sands Of Sussex, man mounted .
steed and rode all the way across the
state up to this very building. and dis
mounting he rushed in that he might
be the first man to sign the Declaration
of Independence and place the first star
in that old flag 1t was Caesar Rodney,
a Delaware man.
This spirit OF Caesar Rodney still lives,
and Delaware, ever SINCE that memorable
occasion when Caesar Rodney signed that
Declaration first has ridden at the head
of the states in military parade, and she
has been the first state in the Union.
Delaware still maintains that position.
1t has been hard sonMtimer for every
body to believe that. We bad it brought
home TO us the other day in a very force
full fashion. In the registration, Delaware
trying to maintain her position as being
first, our Secretary of State called up
Washington and said, This is the Sec
rotary of State talking forG ovcrnor
Townsend Of Delaware. We are ready
to report our registration complete.
The man at the other end said, Del
aware, where is Delaware" Our Sec
rotary Of State said, Where are you

MIA. We'll, permit me TO say to YOU,
sir. that Delaware was night IN at the
head of the procession forty years before
you were born"
Delaware is maintaining tina. positionl
In the Y NJ G. a campaign Delaware
WAS first. IN the Red Cross De lauare wa.
first, IN the Registration Delaware was
first; in the Liberty Loan, Delaware not
only subscribed her quota. but she placed
in the honor flag two stars, indicating
that she subscribed three times her
quota | want TO say to YOU that Del
aware pledges not only her men, but she
pledges her resources and everything
that IS hers to maintain her position in
the line. And TO YOU, Mr. President,
we pledge YOU that after the war is wo,
as il will be, all of Delaware will be back

STATEMENT BY HrLLCR EST.

To the sporting editor Of Every Evening:
The Hillcrest baseball TENN, former
member Of the Church League, feels ctatl
It should explain 70 the sporting publih
little more fully regarding its being ex-
PEELED from the Church League for the
remainder OF the season. On May the
team played Elsmere at Shellpot Park.
During the game a member Of the Els
mere team entered into an argument
which vas being carried on by a member of
the Edge Moor team and William 7.
Bags, Jr. The argument grew to such
height that the Elsmere player re-
marked that there was mo fence between
him and Bags which resulted in night
Bags had up until this time not play
ed game Of ball with the Hillcrest team
this season, and at this particular tune
was in citizens clothes and as far as the
Elsmere player knew he was merely
spectator The officials OF the league
called a meeting the following Friday
evening, MAY 10, and decided 70 expel
Bags and the Elsmere player for thirty
DAYS The following Saturday, May II,
Hillcrest PLAYED the Madelcv team at
Shellpot Park, and did not use Bags.
according TO instructions from the Of
ficials OF the league. During this game
one of the most important rules OF the
league, namely: Using vulgar language,
was violated BY member OF the Madeley
team. The HiIlcrcSt manager called an
officials attention 10 this, but for some
reason Hillcrest was ignored. The MEM
bers Of the HilIcrest association felt that
they had been done an injustice and the
following Saturday felt they were iusti-
fed IN playing Bags against the Central
team.
The team also wants 10 correct the
item which appeared in a local paper of
MAY IS, TO the effect that the Hillcrest
team was new member OF the league this
year Hhllcrest played in the Church
League last year and finished in second
place.
We feel this explanation is due the
sporting public and went 70 thank Every

Military inst nictlon under officers
and on-commissioned officers Of the
amy will be provided IN every institu
ton of college grade, enrolling for the
instruction one hundred or more able
bodied students ov the age of eighteen
The necessary mill any equipment will,
so far as possible, be provided by the
government There will be created q
military training unit IN each institution
Enlistment will be purely voluntary. but
all students over the age Of eighteen
will be encouraged to enlist. The enlist
mcnt will constitute the student a member

training units TO active duty until they
have reached the age of twenty-one.
unless urgent military necessity compels
an earlier call Students under eighteen,
and therefore not legally eligible for
enlistment, will be encouraged 10 enroll
in the training units. Provision will
be made for co-ordinating the Reserve
Officers Training Corps system, which
exists in about one-third of the collegiate
institutions. with this broader plan
This new policy aims to accomplish
a two-fold object first. TO develop as
a great military asset the large body Of
young men in the colleges; and second,
10 prevent unnecessary and wasteful
depletion OF the colleges through indls-
eliminate volunteering, by offering 10 the
students definite and immediate mill
tarv status
Later announcement will be made OF
the details OF the new system. In the
presidents of collegiate lnsti-
tutions are requested 20 call this matter
TO the attention of all their students
Those who do not graduate this spring
should be urged 10 continue their educa-
ton and take advantage OF this new
