Not Thomas TarIton Watson.
7 ours truly,
T. /. Smith.

Two weeks ago there was a state
ment in the daily papers that Tom
Watson, a member of the New York
Rainbow regiment, had died of pneu.
monia in France. Rev. B. T. Wat.
son, pastor of the Presbyterian Church
this place, has son in the Rainbow
regiment, whose name is Thomas
Tarlton Watson, and when the report
came here our people became very un-
easy, fearing that the young soldier
might have been Rev. Watson's son.
The adjutant General, Washington,
D c, has notified Rev. Watson that
his son was alive and in fine health,
and that if anything should happen
to him that telegram would at once
be sent to his parents.

Stand by Our Fighting Men.

From hundreds of thousands of
American farms, in answer to the
call OF their country and in obedience
to the law of their country, American
boys have gone and to-day are fight
ing side by side with hundreds of
thousands of American boys from the
cities and towns of the country, con-
fronting danger and death.
The duty of US who remain at home
in safety to afford the means to make
these boys powerful and victorious is
a most imperative one.

HON. JAMES GARNET.

He Addresses Columbia Lodge No.
90, F. & A. NJ,
My attachment to the Society of
which we are members will incline
me always to express my approval of
the Efforts made by my brothers for
the good of mankind.
Six members CT Columbia Lodge.
to wit:
Robt. ]. Hurt,
Edgar W. Reed,
Leon Lewis,
Albert Bryant,
Paul G. Chandler,
Barney RaSner,
have obeyed their Country's call, and
have accepted the place Providence
found for them among the fighting
forces Of the United States. They
have expressed their willingness to &C
cept what destiny may have in store
for them, and to do their part toward
sustaining the principles Of free gov
eminent and establishing universal
democracy. These men are not inval-
Ids in a protected corner, they are
not towards, fleeing before a revolu-
tion-they are guides, redeemers and
benefactOrs, obeying the mighty i'm
pulse of patriots heart that is lead
ing them into the chaos of the Old
World, where their fellowmen are suf.
fering and the women aud children
are being outraged by the iron hand
of MilitariSm.
As Masons, our duty is first to God,
then to our country and to our fell
lowmen. Those of US who believe in
the fundamental. teachings of our
great Order take pride in honoring
our brothers who are Offering them
selves upon the altar of Humanity,
that posterity may enjoy the blessings
of free government, and as an evil
dence of our appreciation, we who re-
main at home must obey the call of
our Government by furnishing food
and clothing to our soldiers, and con-
serving the supplies produced at home
for the maintenance of our Allies.
AS token of my appreciation for
the services to be performed by the
six gallant members of Columbia
Lodge, who have gUne, and those who
may go, present to my Lodge this
Service Flag, on which l have caused
to be placed six stars, representing
our six ambassadors who will go into
foreign fields on the most important
mission ever assigned to an American,
and will cause to be placed on this
flag other stars representing such
members of my Lodge as may follow
their example. hope we will by ap-
propriate resolution, assign a suitable
place in the Lodge Room to this flag,
that it may become a monument to
that fidelity, courage and patriotism
displayed by Bros. Hurt, Reed, Lewis,
Bryant, Chandler and Rasner, and
those whose names may hereafter be
added to this honor roll.
Let the white field Of this flag re-
mind US of the pure life and the crim-
son border of the blood shed by Him
whose birthplace was marked by a
star, and as we look upon this flag,
pray Gods blessings upon these stars
of Columbia Lodge, and trust that
He will return them to US in the full
vigor Of their manhood.

SPURNED, HE KILLS
GIRL And SELF
Pennsgrove Powder Yard
Foreman Shoots When
Love is Refused
MURDERS HER
IN PUBLIC STREET

Shortly before midnight on Monday
night Daniel G. Smith shot and killed
Margaret King, aged i9 years, at Penns-
grove, and then fired two bullets into
his own brain with fatal effect. Smith
hailed from Dallas, Tex, and was fore
man at the powder works. Miss King
was a resident Of Washington, d. c.,
and was visiting her mother, who
keeps a boarding house at Harmony
street and Delaware avenue. She had
intended returning TO her home yes
terday.
Smith had been attempting to pay
attention TO the girl for some time and
early Monday evening he threatened
that, unless she married him and went
South to live. he would kill her. Later
in the night while she was on the
street near her mothers house, he
stepped up behind her and shot her,
In the back.
He then fired three more shots at her
all taking effect and turned the revol-
yer upon himself, lring two bullets
into his head. Both fell 10 the ground
and expired almost instantly, neither
utterlng a word.
The Salem county coroner took
charge Of the bodies and after an
Inquest will turn them over TO
friends for burnal. There seems TO
have been no reason whatever for the
murder OF the young woman except
jealousy about her refusal 10 a6cept
the attentions OF her slayer.

JAPAN ALONE CAN REPLACE
U-BOAT LOSSES OF ALLIES

The Ship-Steel Agreement thus far
provides that Japanese shipbuilders
shall furnish TO the American gov
ernment for war use within one
year a total OF $4,000 tons Of ship
ping. The Kawasaki Dockyard alone,
one Of the two largest shipbuilding
plants in Japan, can turn out al
most that much tonnage In that
length OF time.
This is almost twice the entire
merchant tonnage launched In japan
In 1916. IL is almost three times the
launchings OF merchantmen Of 1000
tons or over. 1t is perhaps one
fourth Of Japan's present capacity in
sizeable merchant vessels. II Amer
lea can continue giving Japan steel
and Japan will give America for war
use one-fourth TO one-thlrd OF the
ships she can build with that steel,
then the japanese shipyards alone
can soon almost make good the Al
Des' submarine losses now that those
losses are on the descending curve.

.CHAYTOR,JR. GOES
WEST FOR HEALTH

Because Of his falling health, which
for sometime past has compelled him
TO give up active practice OF the law,
Armon ID. Chaytor. Jr., a prominent
member Of the New Castle County Bar.
has closed his affairs here and gone to
Albuquerque. New Mexico, upOn the
advice Of his physician.
Mr.. Chaytor has been In III health
for several months. and his physician
recently ordered him TO the south
western country, where the tempera-
ture Is more nearly equitable, the oil
mate void Of moisture and the air more
highly rarefled.
The doctor In directing Mr.. Chaytor
to seek new climate and open living
conditions, expressed the belief that IL
would hardly be probable that he
could return here and take up his
home again.
Mr.. Chaytor's decision to go 10 New
Mexico was evidently reached quickly,
and the news OF his departure was a
surprise to most Wllmingtonlans. He
is accompanied by his family and has
already set up his new home In New
Mexico's metropolis.
Mr.. Chaytor was one OF the younger
members Of the New Castle bar, but
had built up quite a clientele, and was
rated highly as an attorney-at-law Mr..
Chaytor was formerly deputy attorney
general OF the State, and two years ago
was Democratic candidate for attorney
general. His Republican opponent was
elected by a small majority, as were
the other leading candidates on the
same ticket.
