MERCHANTS MEETING.
To Consider the Matter Of Curtailing
Deliveries,

| Merchants of Wilmington, IN conform
lly with the request OF the Commercial
| Economy Board of the Council of Ma
tlonal Defense, at Washington, will meet
in the offices of the Chamber of Com
mcrcc this evening for the purpose OF con-
sidering the feasibility of introducing
a system OF cooperative delivery in VIII
mington, which has been recommended
urgently by the National Council. All
merchants OF this city, irrespective OF their
membership in the Mercantile Section Of
| the Chamber OF Commerce, have been
invited to attend this conference. In view
| of the importance Of the subject, both to
| the merchants and the government, it is
| hoped that there will be n large and rep
resentative attendance of merchants in all
lines.
The National Council Of Defense de-
slrcs 10 secure the elimination of all forms
of unnecessary work, such as tho usual
details involved in the handling of un-
necessary e. o. d. orders and the making
oi special deliveries. They urge that all
merchants, including retail grocers, should
cooperate with the plans Of the govern
nent Tor securing wartime efficiency
he specific recommendations OF the
Council OF National Defense are:
First: That only one delivery 81 day be
made over each route
Second That the privilege Of returning
merchandise be limited 60 three days
Third: That cooperative delivery sys-
tens he established wherever possible.
A careful study made by the Com
mercial Economy Roard has Indicated
that there are more than 100000 men
needlessly employed in retail delivery
service in the United States; that Is. by
certain readjnsimenis. the merchants
could permit this number of men to go
INTO other employments without iucon-
venieneing themselves or their customers.
Realizing the need Of conserving man
power, the Council Of National Defense
has authorized the board 90 cooperate
with the merchants IN bringing about
these readJustments. The object is 20 pre-
pare the stores go that when the delivery
men are drafted, they will not have TO be
replaced out of the limited labor supplies
available for farming munitions making.
shipbuitling and tho like, and 50 that when
men employed in deliveries are more
needed in any Of these vital Industries. the
merchants will not seek to retain them.
These are critical times The nation
faces a serious situation The Commercial
Economy Board points ont 90 retail
merchants how they can help. and calls
upon all retail merchants everywhere for

Folkstonc. England. March 70
Nothing else under heaven matters to-
day except that the war shall go on to
victory. declared Rudyard kipling here
today IN "A striking and picturesque
speech IN advocacy OF war savings
The money We loan to the government
helps to set our land and our world
free, continued Mr.. kiplng Our Sc
c,rity for our loan is not only the whole
| of the British empire, but also the whole
of civilization, which has pooled its re-
sources IN men. money and material 10
carry on this war to victory.
What is the personal aspect of the
case for you and me? We are. fighting
for our lives, the lives of every man,
woman and child here and everywhere
else
1--WE are fighting that We may not be
herded into actual slavery such as the
Germans have established by force of
their arms III large parts of Europe.
I'VE arc fighting against eighteen
hours a day forced labor under lash or
at the point of the bayonet, with dog
death and dog burial at the end of it.
"We are fighting that men, women
and children may not be tortured,
burned and mutilated in the public
streets, as has happened in this town
and in hundreds of others And we will
go on fighting till the race which has
done these things is in no position TO
continue or repeat its offense.
If for any reason whatever we fall
short Of victory-and there is no half
way house between victory and defeat
what happens 10 us? This:
Every relation, every understanding,
every deccncy upon which civilization
has been so unxiously built up Will 90

have been proved unable 10 endure. The
whole idea of democracy, which at bot
tom is what the Hun fights against, will
be dismissed from men minds, be-
cause it will have been shown incapable
of maintaining itself against the Hun. 1t
will die, and it will die discredited, to-
gether with every belief and practice
that is based on it.
THE Hun ideal, the Huns root-notion
of life, will take its place throughout
the world Under that dispcnsation man
will become once more the natural prey,
body and goods, of his better-armed
neighbor Women will be the mere in
struments for continuing the breed. the
vesse of man s lust and man S cruelty,
and labor will become thing to be
knocked on the head if it dares to give
trouble and worked to death If it does
not. And from this order of life there
will be no appeal no possibility of es-
cape This is what the Hun means
when he says he intends To impose Ger
man kultur, which IS the German re-
ligion, upon the world. This : pre-
cisely what the world has banded itself

Once upon a time-that is before
the war-nothing ever presumed to
dispute the supremacy of the tailored
suit for street wear, and nothing will
ever outclass it. But tailored suits
require men to make them and in
France the men were gone to war.
So "the dressmaker'S dress" came in,
the One-piece, daytime frock made its
appearance on the street. We have
gone further now, as war has COM
PEELED economy, and we have two-in-
one frocks and daytime frocks that
are evidently made for street wear in
place of a suit.
Both a tailored suit and a daytime
frock for street wear are shown in
the illustration as examples Of good
styles for young women. In the suit
the coat is made interesting by point
ed panels at the back and front, over

No matter what else in the way of
wraps is offered for midsummer, we
are always sure of the taffeta coat.
1t is so practical and so pretty that
It cannot be banished entirely-it
comes along as inevitably as the
Fourth of July or the bathing suit.
Here it is assinterpreted for this sum-
mer in taffeta, with landings of vel
vet. 1t is as graceful and easy as the
popular cape. and at least as little
trouble to manage.
In colors these silk coats are best
in dark shades-deep blue, brown and
green proving full of style. There is
always black, of course; depending
upon smartness of the design to rescue
1t from being commonplace. The lus-
ter of taffeta makes it wonderful me-
dium for colors.
Very much less familiar are new
summer coats of wool velours and silk
jersey and of silk jersey with big sat-
in collars. In the combinations of silk
and wool the body Of the coat-that
