DELAWARE COLLEGE
WILL REOPEN ON
MONDAY
Influenza Cases Nearly all
DISCHARGED

DR.. Samuel c. Mitchell an
nounced this morning that Della
ware College will reopen on Mon
day, October IA, at noon. Every
thing, he states, will be in good
shape by Monday. Most of the in
huenza cases now in Harter Hall
will have been discharged in a
few days and the few who are yet
in need of care will be transfer
red to the Parish House of st.
Thomas P. E. Church. Under the
supervision of DR.. Watson repre-
senting the State Board of Health,
every room in Harter Hall will be
thoroughly disinfected and made
safe for the returning students.
The Infirmary, it is hoped, will be
amply able to care for the cases
among the Training Detachment
which have, except in very few
cases, been light.
In Old College Hall an extern
sion system of shower baths and
plumbing fixtures is being install
ed and a new boiler added so that
ample facilities for heating will
be provided. In order to have
everything in readiness by Mon
day, the plumbers are working un-
til late at night.
The influenza cases among the
Student Army Training Corps are
being discharged daily, so that to-
day only one, a pneumonia case
remains in the Infrmary. This
patient has recovered sufficiently
to be allowed to sit up.
(Later)-Delaware College, it
was announced by DR.. Mitchell to-
day, will not open before October
14th perhaps at later date. The
situation is in the hands of the
Board of Health.

RE-OPENING OF

INDEFINITE
Influenza Patients all Re
covered

Dean Winifred Robinson report
ed this morning that the six in
fiuenza patients who have been
under treatment in the Infirmary
at the Women's College have been
discharged and have gone home.
Bernice Hastings and Marie Le-

day; and Nellie Hughes, of Eel
ton. Margaret Grooves Of Mar

mington, left early in the week.
With regard to the opening OF
the Women's College, Dean Robin
son stated that no definite lnfor-
nation could be given until au-
thority to open was received from
State Board of Health. 1t IS hoped,
however, that conditions through
out the State will justify the
Boards permitting the college to
open on Monday.

Corporal Witsil a Victim
of Influenza

Corporal Lawrence. Raymond
Witsil, a member of the class of
1918, Delaware College and Art
Editor of The Blue Hen, died at
Camp Meade on Friday, October
4, Of pneumonia, following in
t1uenza. He was the son of Mr..
and Mrs. Walter E. Witsil of 7O6
West Twentieth Street, Whining
ton from whose home he was bur-
led on Monday afternoon.
At the outset of the war Cor
roral Witsil left Delaware College
to take up work in the Ordnanc .
Department of the U. S. Govern
ment as assistant chief inspector
of Ordance material, stationed at
the works of the National Brass
and Copper Tube Company at
MISREPRESENTATION, New York.
He remained in this work until
ne was voluntarily inductcd into
military service, going with the
contingent leaving Wilmington
for Camp Meade on August rs
last.
Upon arrival at Camp Meade he
was made corporal in the Field
Artillery and had been recon-
mended for commission as second
lieutenant.
Extremely patriotic and enthus-
iastic for military service he had
made application for enlistment to
all the branches of the service
prior to induction, but was decIin-
ed on account Of slightly defective
eyesight.
He was a young man of high
character and marked ability and
would have undoubtedly done
great service for his country.

Kitchen Runs
at High Speed
Ritter Plant Operated at Full
Capacity
Local Labor Replaces
Immigrants

Wheels are humming merrily at
the Ritter ketchup Kitchen this
week, every click of the many
machines shouting defiance to
Kaiser Bill, and registering so
much more savoriness for the diet
of the allied people. Every mach
inc at the plant, for the first time
this season, is running at it's max
imum, and the boxes in the ship
ping department are piling up at
a splendid rate.
Two weeks ago the local man
agement faced crisis, when at
the height of the season in this
community, the Italian employees,
frightened by the death of one of
their number from Influenza,
walked out. Several of the factory
bosses, at the same time, were
confined to their homes, and con-
ditions seemed serious. Tomatoes
piled up, wagons in close order
filling the long lane, and lining
Depot Road for several hundred
yards ON either side of the en-
trance.
Bringing tomatoes to the plant
became an all day job, and farm
ers, hard pressed for time, were
loud in their expressions of dis
satisfaction. A number, however,
out of sympathy born of their own
labor problems, turned in to help
remove the congestion. Posters
were distributed around town urg-
ing local people to help save the
crop as patriotic measure, at the
same time offering big money. The
result has been kitchen fully
manned, turning out eighteen
baskets of ketchup-4500 cases
daily.
Although the local crop is prac-
tically harvested heavy shipments
are still being received from
southern Delaware and the Com
pany expects to be making ketchup
until December first.
Mr.. H. D. Reynolds, assistant
superintendent, when discussing
the situation today, spoke highly
of the work of the help now em-
ployed at the plant. Of the 14O on
active duty many are colored,
from Newark, and they are doing
their work in manner highlv

What's Asked of Us

WlTHIN year the nation has loaned
w its Government nearly ten billions.
The full subscription and allotment of the
fourth loan will increase that sum TO nearly
sixteen billions in sixteen months Pro-
di6ious!
But is it, after all, so very much that this
nation is asked to do ? Sixteen billion dollars
means about 800 for each member of the en-
tire population. Now the average wealth is
fully S2OOO so that we are asked to lend TO
the Government only eight per cent of what
we have. That isn't much, is it?
Take another view: France has already
raised loans entirely among her own people.
aggregating $40 500, 900, OOO Now that is a
great deal more absolutely, than what we
have given and are now askedto 6ive-or lend
But, relatively, it is very much Greater still
France with Algeria has less than half oyr
population Estimate it al 49, 600, OOO Then
the loans already made amount to S44O for
each member of the population, or pretty
nearly three times much as we are now
asked to make up.
In addition to this it must be remembered
that France has suffered losses of property
and of lives. and also of commerce and in
dustry, in7n7easurably greater than ours and
that we have been making profits out of the
war in7nleasurably greater than hers When
all this is taken into consideration if would
be unutterab!y disgraceful if we should fail
promptly to subscribe and to oversubscribe
the Fourth Liberty Loan. When we have
done that, we shall still have done only q
fraction of what France has done France
has done it for well as for herself It
would be shameful indeed, if we shrank from
doing the smaller task for France as well as
for ourselves

BLAztS TRAIL
FROM MADISON

Mr. and Mrs. E. E. Berkeley are no
doubt the first persons to make trip
from Madison to Barabo0 by aut0mO-
bile since the winter snow fell. On
Wednesday they left the capital city
at in the morning in a Buick light
six roadster, and reached Sank City
at in the evening, after a mighty
strenuous grind. In many places the
unmelted snow still lay in drifts high
err than the top Of the car, and sew
eral times it was necessary to leave
the highway in order to get through;
in one place a detour being made
through a plOWed ten-acre field. A
shovel carried en- route was frequently
used and only because of the fact that
the snow was largely frozen was the
trip possible. Many times along the
way Mr.. Berkeley was urged to turn
back by people he met with teams,
as they stated the roads were impass-
able for an auto Mr.. Berkley would
not be deferred, however, and came
through. He said that he would not
attempt the trip again while the roads
were in such shape, and added that
when the snow melts more rapidly it
will be worse than now During the
trip Mr. Berkeley completely wore out
a set Of tire chains, tearing them to
pieces.
The trip from Sank to Baraboo was
made this morning.
