A ReOrganized Holly Beach Yacht
~ Club and Name Changed

For sometime past, a number OF res
idents of the Island have been quietly
working to form an organization to
take over the buildings Of the Holly
Beach Yacht Club, at Sweet Briar road
and Park Boulevard, Wildwood Crest.
At a meeting held at the Club House
on Friday evening last, an organiza-
ton was formed to be known As the
Wildwood Crest Yacht and Automo-
bile Club. J. Fithisn Tatem was elect
ed President, Hermann Schwalbe Sec
rotary, and George N. Smith Treas
urer.
A. committee of five was appointed
by the President to look after the paint
ing of the property, cleaning the
building and repairing the wharf which
was damaged last winter by the ice.
How well this committee has perform
ed its duties is attested by the fact that
these matters have all had attention,
and the Club house will be opened on
Saturday next in charge of a capable
Steward, for the use of the members
and their friends. A membership of a
hundred or more has been attained, and
the dues have been fixed at the very
nominal sum of $40 for the season of
1918.
The Club house is most delightfully."-
located on Sunset Lake, and is II of
the most modern and well appointed
Clubs on the South Jersey coast. A
mong those actively interested in per-
fecting the new organization are: j.

STANFIELD HAS BROADER
VISION.

r, n. Stanfield, of Umatilla coun-
ty, who recently announced his can
didacy for the republication nomina-
ton for United States senator. is one
of the few public men in Oregon who
is large minded enough to see more
of our state than just Portland as he
glances at the map, says the Moro
Observer.
He is big enough to place Portland
and its affairs in the lime light when
forecasting the future growth of Ore
gon. Probably the main reason for
this viewpoint Of state affairs by Mr..
Stanfield is his Identification with the
farming, stock raising and irrigation
questions Of Eastern Oregon through
the personal element of ownership
and working 1t out" as the years go
round. Mr. Stanfield has lived in
Umatilla county practically all his
life.

HUN DEATH TRAPS.

When British and French troops
occupy enemy trenches and dugouts
these days. after the Germans have
been elected and either killed or TAX
en- prisoner. they are careful not to
touch any valuable souvenirs" left
by the Germans. The latter have too
often proved to be fatal. The Huns
leave these things behind with the in
tention that they shall be picked up
by some unsuspecting Tommy or
poilu, and the latter, when he does
appropriate them, hardly ever lives to
tell the tale.
Not long ago British soldiers occu-
pied dugout which had been aban-
doned by the Germans in their re-
treat. One Of them found in the cav
ern watch, attached to the wall. He
naturally was delighted with his find
and reached to take it. He had hard
ly done so when there was terrific
explosion and the whole dugout was
blown in, killing or injuring those
who were in it. These watches and
other trinkets are attached to wires
connected with buried mines, and as
soon as they are taken from their
place the mine is exploded with fatal
results.-Portland Telegram.

HIS MAJESTY, THE HOG.

The country has had enough of
education. The time has come for
the exhibition of governmental
force, of compulsion. Men and wom-
en- now know what is required in the
field of conservation. If they will not
save food, fats, sweets, meats, volun-
tarily, they must meet not only public
contumely, but the state must mete
out adequate punishment. A few Jail
sentences. a few stiff fines. little os-
tracism, will accomplish wonders in
the pens of the American hogs, anu
these gentry are still at large.
There are men and women who ab-
solutely refuse to practice self-denial,
who do not possess patriotism enough
to observe either meatless day or a
wheatless day In the week. They are
the people who ought to be fed inside
the jails with black bread and warm
water. because they are traitors to
the cause of their country. They are
digging soldiers graves with their
teeth. Some of them are members of
the congress Of the United States.
Some of them wear silks and satins.
Some wear fustian. Some Of them
ride in automobiles. Some of them
sit in the seats Of power. All of them
are razor-back hogs, pure and simple.

YEAR OF THE WAR IN THE AIR.

1t has been conjecturable that Ger
many is now, and has been for
months past, preparing a much
mightier fleet for war In the air dur
ing the 1918 campaign. The coming
of the United States into the war
meant vast expansion of allied aer-
ial activities. That fact has been rec
ognized from the beginning, and
must have been as we'll understood at
Berlin as at Washington or London.
No concealment of the fact itself has
ever been attempted. While the Ger
mans have been unable to learn the
details, or even the full extent, of our
plans, they have undoubtedly set
themselves the great task of trying
to meet the vast force with one Of
their own approXimating 1t as nearly
as possible in numbers and attempt
ing to excell it in designs and devices
for an increase in destructiveness,
with decrease in danger of loss.
A communication from London
concerning the scope and something
of the method of German work in this
direction. The letter begins with the
epigram, Nineteen eighteen-the air
year" 1t brings information that,
since our declaration Of war, the Ger
mans have added twenty-nine to the
number of their factories for the
making of airplanes, and the German
general staff has already been as
sured htat the number of battle air.
planes will be doubled by the beginn-
ing of extensive military movements
in the spring. The added factories
have been taken out of other war
work in which previously engaged,
and have been under constant opera
tion for providing the means of meet
ing new and very great danger. The
enemy has not failed in understand
ing Of the measure of our capability.
The large appropriations Of Con-
gress for this long-neglected branch
of military service, the perfection of
the Liberty motor-a product of
composite genius-and the eagerness
of host of physically and mentally
alert Americans to qualify for aerial
service, in which many of their COM
patriots have won glorious success in
France are enough to excite German
alarm. Aeroplane construction is RI

A LESSON FROM THE NATIONAL
ARMY.

Day after day the national army
cantonments bring forth irrefutable
arguments in favor of universal mill
tary service, not only now, but after
the war as we'll. In selective service
are being found many of the advan-
tages which universal service would
bring into full 'fruition. These advan-
tages are now shown to be actual, not
theoretical.
Bishop Perry of Rhode Island visit
ed number of cantonments as head
of the Episcopal war council, and had
this to say about the national army
as peoples university:
According to army plans, schools
are held each day, especially for
the enlisted men. discovered some
schools not exactly provided for
in the government regulations, but
so splendid that officers and gov
ernment deserve the gratitude of
all citizens. Thousands of men and
women among the mountaineers of
Tennessee and the Carolinas can
hardly speak the English language,
and know little of Americanism.
Army officers have opened classes
to these people, as we'll as to SOL
diers, and the outcome is popular
university in effect. 1t is prod
uct that l never dreamed of find
ing as an outcome of preparation
for war.
The selective service army is teach.
ing much more than this. 1t teaches
the poor boy that the rich mans son
who shares his barracks and his ra.
tions is not an aristocrat or a snob
and it teaches the wealthy youth thai
his laboring-class "bunkie" is not ar
uncouth peasant. 1t teaches both o.
these men that each as a citizen Of
the United States has like privilege!
and like obligations. 1t teaches botl
the need of adequate preparedness
for defense and the futility of vision
ary pacifism.
Selective service does all this, ant
permanent universal service would d,
much more, because it would be F;

The Annual New Years number of
the Portland Oregonian comes forth
once more to call attention of the
world to the progress in the develop
ment of Portland, Oregon and the
Northwest. The war program has
made necessary the adding of new
features to the paper this year, chief
of which is shipbuilding. Portland
and Oregon will furnish one sixth of
the new ships which this government
will build during 1918. The Oregon
ian calls attention with just pride, to
the remarkable record this state has
made since war was declared, and its
a record of which we may all be
proud.

DOVER GAS PLANT ON FIRE

Plant Damaged Sunday Evening But
Fortunately Did Not Reach the Tanks
Fire which threatened both loss of
life and the greater part of southwest
ern Dover, broke out at Dover Sunday
evening at the Dover Gas Light Com
pany's works, corner of North and
New streets, owned by former United
States Senator Harry A. Richardson
and his son, w. W. Richardson. The
tanks of the gas company were filled
with thousands of feet of gas, and the
danger became more evident as the
flames broke through the roof of the
main building within but short dis
tance of the tanks. A general alarm
was sounded, and the Robbins Hose
Company was soon on the scene with
three streams of water on the burning
building. Within half an hour the
flames were under control. Former
Senator Richardson and his son, as
we'll as DUPONT Walker, secretary of
the company, and all the employees
were at the plant early giving direc-
tions which aided the fremen in
checking the flames. The damage to
machinery and building fortunately
will not be very great, the machinery
being only slightly injured by water.

TO MOTOR TO OLD DRAWERS
Number of Smyrna Presbyterians and
Others to Attend Next Sunday An
nual Meeting at Historic Church

A number of Presbyterians from
Smyrna as we'll as members of other
denominations will motor to Old
Drawers Church near Odessa next
Sunday, should the day be favorable,
to attend the annual June meeting of
the Friends of Old Drawers and
participate in the services of the day.
The morning services at 10. 80 will
be under the direction of Rev. E. A.
McLaury and the sermon by Rev. DR..
Frederick W. Loetscher, of Princeton
Theological Seminary. This "talented
divine comes to Delaware with
reputation of great learning and
forceful speaking, and no doubt his
sermon will be greatly appreciated by
his hearers. In the afternoon Judge
George 7. Cam, of Savannah, Ca,
will make the address. Judge Cam
comes from the Southland" bringing
to Delawareans that good fellowship
and love of country, so pronounced in
many men of the Empire State. +"
This "gifted jurist" is somewhat of
Delawarean, although born in Sa-
vannath, Ca, he spent many of his
youthful summers in and around New
Castle, Kirkwood and Mt. Pleasant,
he being related to the Cam families
of Red Lion and Pencader Hundreds,
and the Eliason's of st. Georges
Hundred. The music will be fur
nished by a male .quartette from West
Presbyterian Church, of Wilmington,
assisted by Mrs. Warden r. Hum
phreys, of Claymont. Mrs. Hum
phrey's sweet voice no doubt is re-
membered by many who have attended
these meetings in former years. This
"ancient church, and its Goods
acre" adjoining has been beautifully
cared for by a society known as the
Friends of Old Drawers. An
other piece of ground has been added
to the cemetery within the last few
weeks, which no doubt will be beauti-
fed and improved in due time by the
honored president of the Friends of
Old Drawers. Mr.. D. W. Corbit,
of Odessa, and his energetic board of
directors.
