Yet another point is that in the early
days of the war the only things spoken
OF were shells. 1t was pointed out earlier
that there were many other components,
such as primers. fuses. container tubes,
&c. produced in the Manchester area,
any many OF the methods for the eco
nomical production of these components
were developed in the locality by peo-
lutely no experience of this class Of man
ufacture. but as an asset were able to
bring to bear upon II a new mind I'M
prejudiced by what had gone on in tho
past.
Owing to the fact that the boards of
management are composed Of local busi-
ness men having detailed knowledge OF
the conditions In the area they were
able to coordinate the efforts of the diff
ferent Arms to bring about spirit of
interchangeability of experience and
method which will be of the utmost as
sistance In the years to come through
having broked down many OF the petty
jealousies and element Of conservatism
which was one OF the great weaknesses
of our prewar policy.
The number of firms who have car
ried out contracts under the board is
over 200, and thousands OF work peo-
pie have been employed on the contracts
executed. This board has placed con-
tracts in the Manchester area for
amounts running into many millions OF
pounds sterling per annum, and AZ a
matter Of fact is by far the largest trad
ing concern in the neighborhood.

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DELAWARE CITY, Del, June i9.--
Some excitement was caused here last
evening over the arrival OF a boat in
the Delaware and Chesapeake Canal.
The boat was equipped with wireless
apparatus which aroused suspicion at
once. Two Of the men on board, after
walking around town and being ques-
toned by different persons, boarded the
T.2O o'clock trolley car for. Wilmington.
They were followed by four officers
from Fort DUPONT In an automobile
driven by Norris w. wilkins OF this
town and were overtaken at the first
turnout. The men were brought back
to their boat, which was searched by
the officers. Later the men were taken
10 Fort DUPONT.
The investigation proved, however,
that the wireless had been sealed pur-
suant TO government orders and the
boat was allowed TO continue its trip
through the canal.

DOVER. Del. June ia conference
of representatives Of bankers OF STATE
and national banks and trust companies
was held here yesterday in the state
House. at the call of Thomas II. Wilson
Insurance Commissioner, the object be-
ing to organlze, If deemed advisable,

present included the following;

Trust and Safe Deposit Company.
Mr.. Wilson presided and Mr.. Seward
acted as secretary.
The suggestion OF National Banking
ard Trust organization came from many
hanlors throughout the State.
After a fun discussion OF the matter,
il was deemed not wise at the present
time 10 form such an organization IN
view of the fact that there is already
in this state the American Bankers
Association. a very strong association
which could influence any matter OF
vital Importance to State interests.
The conference incidentally advocated
the Improvement Of the State Banking
laws. by creating a State Banking De-
partment separate and distinct from
the state Insurance Commissioners De-
psrtment. The chairman OF the con-
ference was instructed TO appoint
committee Of fve to take the matter
i.p with a view Of presenting a Dill
at the next Legislature looking toward
the establishment OF such separate
department.
A resolution was adopted that the
Delaware state Bankers Association be
divided into two parts. State Banks and
National Banks with the idea that more
efficient work can be done.
A. pledge was also given to support
the Government In winning the war.
The committee appointed by the
chairman to look after legislation rela-
tive to the establishing OF a separate
banking department includes Ezekiel
Cooper, j.. II. Nixon. J. S. Rossel. Henry
