The remaining 239 men had to be made
up in Wilmington and rural New Cas-

nished more than any OF the other dis
tricts 70, while the four Wilmington
districts sent i60.
There was considerable criticism by
relatives and friends OF the Wilmington
conscripts because Of the poor send-ofi
given the i60 men. Much Of this criti-
cism was due 10 the fact that no band
was provided 10 head the march from
the headquarters OF the boards to
French street station. A squad Of po-
lice escorted the men 10 the station
down French street, and members OF
the boards marched at the head OF their
divisions. The FIRE companies were the
only organizations to give the boys a
send-off. The flremen were stationed
in French street and the blowing OF the
whistles OF the engines and ringing or
their bells was the only notice that
hundreds waiting along Market street
had that the march was down French
street.
Some persons who were at the station
10 see the rural New Castle county con-
tingent of had the same criticism 10
make Of the happenings at Newark lthe

morning, from where 70 men were sent.

LITERARY NOTES

Hira Singh. BY Talbot Mundy. In
dianapolis: Bobbs- Merrilk Company.
Price. $3.50 net.
This book is a war story, but one
of such different vein that II Is ex-
tremely enjoyable. Hira Singh Is an
Indian, and he tells to an English
friend of the declaration OF war the
trip from India to France, the battle
at night, the capture by the Huns and
the escape from the prison camp back
TO his beloved India.
From the point OF adventure and
excitement the story Is better In many
respects than even kipling's Plain
Tales from the Hills" and other of
his stories. Nothing but plain Ian
guage is used, but the descriptions.
especially those of Constantinople, or
Stamboul, as is the Indian name for
the city, and battle in the noun
tains of Asia Minor during a hail
storm with kurds are extremely vivid
The real hero of the story is Ran
ioor Singh. an officer in the British
Indian army. He is one of the
shrewdest characters portrayed in
fiction. and the way he manages to
overcome difficulties is marvellous
But Hira Singh runs him close
second in the point OF shrewdness
and tact.
ihS Stoty ~ odSea ON rSat cSeuto,
Indian soldiers having been captured
by the Germans and escaping into
their own country in the way de-
scribed. This makes the story the
more enjoyable.
Many eastern proverbs are intro
duced, and ii would be we'll IL people
of the Western Hemisphere would
adopt some of them. One of them
reads: since when did God take
sides against the brave? Has this
not proved true in the war Just over,
even though Kaiser Wilhelm tried to
disprove II?
Taken as u whole il is delightful
piece Of reading and one of the best
war hooks we have had an opportu-
nifty TO read More books of this kind
from tho pen of Mr.. Mundy would
undoubtedly be greatly appreciated.
