DELAWARE COLLEGE TAKEN
OVER BY GOVERNMENT.
Will Train Student Soldiers-Cspurse
Not Compulsory.

Will Train Student Soldiers-Gpurse
Not Compulsory.
The trustees of Delaware College,
Newark, have signed a contract with
the War Department which practic-
ally turns the college over to the
Government and makes it a military
institution for the duration of the
war.
This contract goes into effect
September 16 and calls for the train
ing of $50 young men, the college
to receive a stipulated amount from
the government for each one who
takes the military course.
The general scheme is that at the
college the government will take
young men of the state II or 18
years of age and upward who have
received a four years high school
education or it's equivalent, and will
enlist them as student-soldiers and
train them without cost to the boys
or their parents. The students will
be educated in military and acad-
emic subjects and will be uniformed,
equipped and their sustenance paid
for by the government. They will
receive in addition $50 month.
This course is not compulsory for
all students. Some may prefer to
register for the regular courses and
take their chances with the draft.
The primary purpose of the new
arrangement is to educate boys to
become army officers of whom 150,-
900 will be needed by July /, 1919,
according to estimates of the War
Department. 1t is also desired to
avoid the. mistake made by England
at the beginning of the war i'll max
ing no provision for giving technical
training to her youths and keeping
her colleges at their normal effici-
ency.

Concrete Laying On Sylmar Road
COMPLETED.

After many weary weeks the long
drawn out job of concrete laying on
the Rising Sun-Sylmar road has
been complied, and after it has
stood ten days, in order to give it
the required time to dry out, the
road will be opened to travel. This
will be some time next week.
Residents along the road turned
out Saturday afternoon and by CIV
ing contractor Sutton a helping hand
and working until about seven
o'clock in the evening, the Maryland
Pennsylvania line was reached and
the road connected with Route 131
in Pennsylvania.
There is still considerable work to
do on the road in building shoulders
and dressing up the sides, but this
will not interfere with traffic.
Work is progressing rapidly on
the Porter's Bridge road and two or
three weeks more will see the west
ern end of it completed. AS the
eastern section of the road, from
what is known as the Evans farm to
Rising Sun, is not to be built this
year, owing to the State appropri-
alton being exhausted, this will leave
only a little over a mile Of unim-
proved road between Rising Sun and
Baltimore, with Pigeon Hill, just
west of town, the only difficult piece
for autos to negotiate in wet weather.

THINKS REPORT IS INCORRECT.
Family of James r. Belt Doubts
Rumor of His Death in France.

Inquiry at the War Department re-
veals that James r. Belt Of sos Seward
square southeast, has not been killed in
action in France, as had been reported.
The family received intimation of Belts
death in letter from a fellow member
of the Mohawk Club, of which Belt was
one Of the organizers. asking II they
had heard of his death in action. No
official statement has yet been issued by
the War Department to relatives of
Belt The lack of official confirmation
of the report causes the family to be-
ieve that it may be erroneous.
Belt was member of Company NJ,
Sd District of Columbia Infantry. under
Capt. Bryan, when that unit left Wash
ington. Later he was transferred to a
Montana regiment and served with the
headquarters company Of the 18th
United States Infantry. His sister Wis
tied the War Department and was un-
able to flnd any name on the casualty
lists which resembled that of Belt.
He was a graduate of Business High
School and of Milton College and had
been a member of the District National
Guard for six years. He served during
the trouble on the Mexican border. lie

HEAVY SNOW IN MOUNTAINS.
Current Down the Potomac Stronger
Than Was Expected.

There was considerably more snow In
the mountains about the headwaters of
the Potomac than was figured on by
the rivermen, for the current coming
down from the upper river increased
in strength yesterday afternoon in
stead of slowing up, as was expected.
Tugs of the sand scow towing fleet had
to double up to take tow of barges
up to Georgetown. and even then slow
time was made. It is figured that the
warm weather now prevailing will
quickly melt the snow and that by to-
morrow the current will be gone.
Though the now of muddy water
from the upper river is heavy, the tidal
level is about the average.
