VARIEGATED TRAINS
NOW In OPERATION

You don't have to be a cross-country
traveller these days to find out what
sort Of passenger coaches are used by
different railroads. Assortments Of cars
from all over the country can be seen
now in operation around Wilmington.
They come in all conditions, colors
and sizes and frequently a variety Of
them make up the same train. Some
are modern steel coaches, while others
are antiquated wooden cars reclaimed
from shops for emergency use.
Heavy troops movements all over the
country are said TO be responsible for
the condition that puts cars Of widely
separated railroads in the same train.
1t is not unusual TO find four or five
railway systems represented In one
train. Instead Of burning fuel TO send
the empties back to their own yards,
railroads now operate cars that are on
hand and wait for their own coaches TO
come back loaded.

$500 GERMANS
ARE INTERNED

By Newspaper Enterprise Association
LONDON, July i5.-A movement is on
foot throughout England to force the
government to modify its lenlent pol
icy towafd interned and naturalized
Germans. So strong has this movement
become that in many places police in
tervention was necessary to protect
aliens from the enraged public.
The home office. which has the final
word in questions concerning alien en-
emies, has exasperated the public by
the seemingly kindly attitude it takes
toward them.
There are stlll $500 Germans unin-
termed. These. with the thousands OF
dangerous naturallzed Germans and
German wives Of British husbands. are
positive and well-hidden danger TO
the security OF the government, It Is
charged
Areas prohibited TO the use OF Ger
mans are known TO contain many OF
them. Many Germans still have season
ticket privileges on the railroads. Many
naturalized Germans are carrying on
business which were formerly In the
hands Of alien enemies and TO the de-
triment OF British trade.
To remedy this the leaders in this
movement propose to enact a bill pro-
vlding for a proper aliens department,
dealing with internment, repatriation,
Hun businesses and banks, and, above
all, with the view of keeping them out
Of England when the war is over.

CONSERVE THE SUGAR
Sweetness" is Needed For Gamers
and Housewives For Preserving.

Save the sugar. That is one OF the
patriotic duties for Delawareans as
much as refraining from wheat. There
is sugar enough for your coffee and
tea if used judiciously, but none to
waste or spare for luxuries. The Food
Administration is endeavoring to pro-
vide enough sugar for the Gamers
and housewives, now that the canning
season is approaching, and the wisest
discretion will have to be used in or
der that there shall be enough.
Some manufacturers using sugar
have already learned that they have
exhausted their share until July l.
They were instructed months ago to
use but so per cent of their normal
supply, but some paid no heed to the
advice. AS a result they find them
selves without sugar to continue their
business for the next four weeks.
These manufacturers were profiting
while their patriotic competitors were
trying to help Uncle Sam and obeying
the food regulations.

CHARLES {. HUBER
TO HELP BAKERS
VIII Keep Trade Posted on
Requirements Of Food
Regulations.

Charles E. Huber, of Wilmington,
mas been appointed chief of the bak-
ing division of the Food Administra-
ton for the State of Delaware. Mr.. |
Huber will devote several days each |
week to personal visits among the
bakers of the state and will endeayor
to keep the baking trade correctly in
formed on the rulings of the Food Adj
ministration regarding the use of
wheat flour and it's substitutes.
Mr.. Huber has had much experience
as one of Wilmington's leading bakers
and is devoting his time free of charge,
in order that the baking trade of Della
ware may not be accused of lacking
interest in the food conservation pro-
gram.
In the first months of conservation,
the housewives of the country We're
| often heard to complain But what
| is the use of our trying to save food
in our Kitchens when waste on so
much larger scale is everywhere GO
ing on, among the men, in public eat
ing places, on trains, in the manufac-
ture of food, ETC."
This may have been true some
months ago. But it is no longer fair
complaint. The men of the country,
both in business. and in private, are
doing their bit In patriotic effort to
conserve the worlds food.
Since the increasing need for saw
ing wheat has been made plain by the
U. S. Food administration many no.
tells and restaurants all over the
country have voluntarily pledged them
selves to do without wheat until the
new harvest
And now an effort is to be made to
increase the coming wheat harvest by
cleaner threshing. 1t has been esti-
mated that three bushels Of grain in
every 100 threshed. can be saved by
-. better methods. Where grain has been
exceptionally poorly threshed as much
as 10 per cent has gone into the straw
stack. In some instances the farm
ers of the central west Refreshed old
wheat stacks last fall, adding consid
erably to their grain stores. To cor
rect this waste has become very i'm
portant with our war time needs anC

tual help among the farmers of thu
: country.
} Still another effort to increase thu
-four output during this crisis is be
ing made by urging farmers not t.
hold over any of their crop for seed
: Even If we have only normal crol
e there is little fear that any risk woult
i be run in not holding over seed TO
n next years sowing. During the mex
f three months every bushel of grail
that can be recovered may play lead
ing role in the drama of war. Whea
saving is not alone a matter of usin
less in the country's kitchens, but o
recovering more in every possibl
IS way, whether it be from the whea

War Savings Stamps
For Everyone

The War Savings campaign-the
sale of Thrift Stamps and War
Savings Stamps-has been resum-
ed with vigor and the campaign is
to be pushed, now that the Liberty
Loan drive is over. Workers in
the campaign realize that the re-
cent drive for the sale of Bonds of
large denomination has given the
impression that the War Savings
Stamps are not intended for people
of large means.
Henry P. Scott, State Director,
has issued the following statement
in an effort to correct this i'm
preston:
"A misunderstanding has gotten
abroad of the purpose of the Gov
eminent in issuing War Savings
Stamps.
"They are not intended solely
for the investment of people of
small means.
ut is just as much the duty of
people of large means to save,
economic, and buy War Savings
Stamps to the limit the law pro-
vides.
"The war is being financed by
Taxes,
Liberty Bonds
War Savings Stamps.
GAIL loyal people must support
all three agencies.
UNLESS people of large means
save, economic, and buy or pledge
to buy War Savings Stamps to the
$1,000 limit, Delaware's quota Of
$50 per capita can not be reached
"We call upon all Delawarean!
to give enthusiastic support to thi!
great national means of winnin:
the war"
Delaware is expected to reacl
her quota of $40 per capita befor'
the end of the year. To do this tn
purchase of these stamps must b

shall guarantee an enduring peace
to the world.
The speaker dwelt upon Ger
many's policy, Necessity knows no
law" and what such a policy in the
hands of a great power means to
the world. He referred to the fact
that all our righteous indignation
at this contempt for law and order,
for this ruthless ignoring of the
rules of warfare as practised by
civilized nations in the light of in
ternational law did not give us the
right to take an active part in the
conflict. Only when our own rights
were to be defended, only after
Germany had wantomly insutled us
and threatened the safety of our
world, could we enter the conflict.
Senator Wolcott referred to the
murder of our women and children
on the high seas. "The high seas
belong to mankind" he said, "but
the imperial German government
dared to define narrow path and
say to us, Keep off all else, you
may sail here. Disobey and you
