DEER SEEN In
THIS VICINITY
Heavy Fine for Molesting this
Animal

Rumors have been in circulation
for several weeks to the effect that
some gunners and numerous resi-
dents in the vicinity of Cooch's
Bridge and Glasgow have at vari-
,ous times seen deer grazing in the
meadows and drinking in the
streams in that vicinity. Some OBJ
servers claim to have seen four, a
buck, doe and two fawns; others
have seen male and female and
still others have seen only one.
Just recently Ralph Barrow
while cunning near the Expert
ment Station woods sighted one
Warren Armstrong has seen two
and displays as evidence of their
presence in the neighborhood of
Cooch's Bridge, numerous tracks,
enthusiastically made by deer, near
the streams in his vicinity.
How the deer came ito this neigh
borhood is a matter of conjecture
niany being of the opinion that
they have come across the river
from New Jersey, others thinking
that they have escaped from a cir
GUS or zoo.
1t is understood that gunners
have declared their intention of
shooting this animal ON sight
Rumors have also been heard of
cunning parties organized express
ly for this purpose. 1t is stated
however, on good authority that in
this state the closed season for
deer is perpetual and a fine of
$500 is imposed for violation of
this clause of the game laws.
Many game lovers are hoping
that the deer will not be molested
but will remain permanently i'm
the vicinity.

In Airplane
Delaware College Man Visits
Friends
1t. w. J. Fitzpatrick Makes
Flight from Long Island

The first social visit made to
Newark in am airplane occurred on
the morning of Thanksgiving day
when second lieutenant William
J. Fitzpatrick after treating the
residents to some real thrills, glid-
ed gracefully to the ground in Will
son's field just west of town, along
the Elkton road. Hundreds of peo-
Pile, attracted by the stunts of the
'birdman thou g.ht that he had lost
control of the machine and i'm spite
of driving rain followed in the
general direction taken by the
plane and witnessed it's landing.
Fearing that some accident had be-
fallen the aviator and that he had
made a forced landing, the crowd
soon We're over the fence and in
the landing field. Among them
were a number of Delaware Col
Elege students and Others who We're
greatly surprised to be greeted by
Lieutenant Fitzpatrick, a former
student at Delaware College and
popular member of the Glass of
1919. He was accompanied by Ser
geant Unruh, a mechanic.
When his presence became
known to his friends he was well
coined most heartily by the faculty
and students of Delaware College
and by Newark residents among
whom he had made many friends
during his college career. He
visited Wilmington friends ON
Thursday evening and ON Friday
afternoon gave another exhibition
of flying for the benefit of Newark
friends and took Lieutenant Ar
onowitz for spin. Saturday
morning he left for Brinsley Field,
Cammack, Long Island where he
is at present stationed.
Lieutenant Fitzpatrick, ut was
learned, left Brinsley Field on
Wednesday for a crosscountry fly,
spent Wednesday night in Chester,
performed some daring stunts
above the Hotel DUPONT in passing
through Wilmington and intended
making a brief visit to Newark
when the rain compelled him to
change his plans. Squads from the
S. A. T. c. guarded the plane con-
stantly during its stay here, pro-
cured a canvas covering ito protect
it during the continued Thursday
rain and rendered efficient service
in keeping back the curious
crowds.
Lieutenant Fitzpatrick is a men,
ber of the Sigma Nu fraternity,
was president of his class and ac-
tive in all college activities, a
member of the track and football
teams and an expert in boxing and
wrestling.

Mustered Out
Demobilization Begins Today
Old Delaware Returns to
Pre-War Status

members of the Student ARMY
Training Corps at Delaware Col
lege began today. This action is
the result of a telegram from the
War Department received last
Wednesday ordering the disband-
ment of the unit between Decem-
ber 4th and December 21.
Doctor Mitchell is of the opin-
ion, however, that the work will
be accomplished long before the
date set by the government.
This sudden change will not
have any financial bearing on the
institution, it is hoped. The War
Department will probably reim-
burse the institution for any finan-
cial loss incurred by the change.
Plans already have been COM
pleted for placing the college in
the same plane it maintained prev
ious to the war-a purely scientific
and educational institution, Doctor
Mitchell added. Military subjects
have been replaced by the arts and
science course, agricultural and
business administration and the
teaching course, and all that re-
mains of the military atmosphere
around the college, is the uniform
of the students, which they will be
permitted to wear three months
after rehabilitation, and the five
hours of military drill which is
part of the physical training of the
students under peace conditions.
Doctor Mitchell is of the opinion
that rehabilitation orders will not
deter many from continuing their
studies. In fact it is expected that
many who were unable under
military conditions to obtain de-
sired courses will enter now that
the college has returned to normal
courses.
The fraternities will be re-
established and the life of the col
lege will go on as in pre-war times
with all emphasis placed ON
scholarship and preparation for
life careers.
The President expressed himself
as duly apprciative of the manly,
patriotic spirit in which the young
men sprang to the task of training
for war and said that he is sure
that they will reveal the same high
spirit in preparing for the tasks of
peace.
A small contingent of the train
ing detachment which had been
held here for special service will
be mustered out first. The Of
fcers will also according to Secre-
tary Bakers order be mustered out
ht an early date.
Professors and instructors now
En the service will probably soon
be released by the government and
fn most cases return TO their posts.
Fome Of these are are Major Clar-
Pnce A. Short; Major Allen r.
Iullimore; DR.. John R. Moore; DR..
Charles H. Rawlins, and DR.. c. c.
Palmer.
At meeting of the faculty
Monday afternoon a series of reso-
utons covering essential points
elatiVe to the return to peace
tatuS were approved by the fac
Pity.
These resolutions provide for
Vldlng the time between now
nd June 7 into two terms. Former
tudents returning and new stu
ents entering will be accepted to
anuary 3. No time shall be de-
ucted for formal examinations
hd credit shall be given on the
fe-War basis for the remaining

WAR SAVINGS STAMPS AND
BABIES

Brand Whitloek, our minister to
Belgium when the German hordes
first entered that martyred country,
and for three long years thereafter,
is now telling us of some of the
things that happened during that
oIgie of German lust. He writes in
"Everybody's" as follows:
at was on that Sunday morning
OF the 23rd; the Germans that
swarmed down the Friedrau road,
entered the quarter of Penant ar
rested the inhabitants and took them
to the Rocher Bayard. The people
were held there, evidently as a
screen, while the Germans began to
construct a temporary bridge over
the river. The French were on the
other side, and now and then they
shot at the soldiers working there.
The Germans, annoyed by the spit
ting, irregular fire, sent citizen Of
Dinant, one of the prisoners, in a
boat across the river to inform the
French that unless they ceased fir
irg the civilians would be shot. M.

was called up; the colonel in com.
mand gave the word to fire, and the
gray soldiers, in cold blood, shot
down those 80 persons as they stood
huddled there together. Among
them were IL children under the age
of years, of whom were little ba-
bies, whose mothers, as they stood

WILSON'S MESSAGE TO WOMEN
OF EUROPE

President Wilson reaffirmed his
belief in woman suffrage as a fun
damental principle of democracy and
expressed the holb of the immediate
passage of the federal suffrage
amendment in a message written
June 10, in response to a memorial
from the suffrage associations Of
Great Britain, France, Belgium, Italy
and Portugal. The presidents mes
sage was addressed to Mrs Carrie
Chapman Gait, president of the Ma
tional Woman Suffrage association,
and of the International Woman Suf-
frage alliance, who transmitted the
memorial from the European women
ID him.
Citing the fact that he believed
"the full and sincere democratic re-
construction of the world will not
have been completely or adequately
attained until women are admitted
to the suffrage" President Wilson
closed his message with this force
full statement:
"The service of women during this
supreme crisis Of the worlds histo-
ry has been of the most signal use.

could not have been fought without

is high time that some part of our
