WAR is SELFISHNESS,
DR.. SMILEY SAYS

West Presbyterian Church yes
lcrday morning, Dr.. U. F. Smiley said
That the partition Of the kingdoms Of
the earth has been a knotty problem
for monachs and the people alike,
from the early times Of man down Co
the present, and in their quarrels men
are apt to forget that really the earth
and all therein belong TO God, and
that their wars are purely selfish.
Or. Smiley pointed out that we must
remember the earth was originally Gre
ated boy God. and that the mountains
with all their rich deposits and the
earth with all its verdant green and
fruitage are mere gifts Of Him who
gave this planet to man to inhabil But
man. in an the perfection and glory Of
his first days kept not the trust which
his creator had given to him, and lost
il through his own sel1shness and in
his attempt to be the sole master. But
The truth still is that the earth by
right is the Lords despite man 10
ihe contrary. and that 10 is Christs, too,
by purchase, for when God would pun
ish man and rid the world Of his
failure. Christ died and thereby inter
vening by the cross repurchased the
earth

WANT 25O.COD HEk
FOR SHIPYARD WORK
Skilled Workers TO be En-
rolled This Week for Ship
yard Volunteer Reserve
GOOD JOBS ARE
ASSURED ALI.

About two hundred men were pre-
sent yesterday IN parlors A and B,
ln the Hotel dupont, at the meeting of
the enrolment agents Of the Public
Service Reserve, which had been called
for the purpose Of instructing them as
10 what will be expected Of them dur
ing this week when a drive Is 10 be
made throughout the country for ship
yard workers
Charles Warner Federal State Direc-
tor, presided and he explained what the
government needs and urged upon those
present TO make every effort this week
to secure the name and address Of
every man in Wilmington who Is will
ing to accept work in any Of the local
shipyards.
One matter that was emphasized
was that the Government did not pro
pose TO cripple any manufacturing
plant by taking from them needed
help, but that it is thought in num-
erOus cases the manufactured might be-
in a position where he could, without
any great injury to his business, release
one or more men at some future time,
when the demand for ship workers is
imperative. The plan is 10 simply
enroll the names Of men who feel Will
ing to work at the shipyards at some
future time. Signing the card does not
oblige the men TO accept work at the
time they are called. After their names
are turned In, the Government agents
will investigate. and men who are
found suitable for the work needed Of
them, will be placed on the waiting list.
The call may not come for four or
1--WE months and when it does Il the men
are employed at that time the matter
viii be taken up with their employer or
employers first, and then, II they can
be released the opportunity viii be
afforded them TO accept the work. Any
man desiring work in the shipyards
however, may act Independently Of his
employer. This, of course, is q matter
that the Public Service Reserve does
not control.
After Mr.. Warner had fully explained
the work. the meeting was open for dis
cHssion and a number Of questions re-
ga ding some points not made quite
clear were asked and fully discussed
one matter emphasized was that the
Public Service Reserve had nothing 10
do with any labor question that might
arise. It simply furnished the names
Of men who are willing to work. and
while the employers are not compelled
to accept any man, neither are the men
compelled 10 work at any place they do
nnt care 10 work.
The organization is simply one for
the purpose Of bringing employers and
employees together, all matters of
wages and number Of hours of cm-
ployment to be settled direct between
the employer and employe without any
meddling on the part of the Public
service Reserve.
The organization. says Chairman
Hurley of the Shipping Board "is to
be composed Of workmen who ara
willing to give a good days work for q

PILOT BOAT HELD
In BY ICE FL0ES

LEwES. Del. Feb. ii.-Forzen in by
solid ice that extends across the mouth
Of the Delaware Bay and far at sea,
the pilot boat Philadelphia is fast near
the Lewcs BreakWaier, unable to get its
pilots out TO number of vessels which
are also frozen in and unable to make
progress toward Philadelphia.
The efforts made TO get pilots out "a
the waiting vessels nearly resulted in
loss Of life when huge floating cakes
Of ice carried the men out to sea, and
II was only by turning around and
lighting their way back that they
escaped with their lives.
The pilotboat managed 10 keep fire IN
its engines by using breeches buoys
to convey coal from the end Of the
pier TO The boat. The coal was drawn
three miles to the pier from Lewes
and changed hands seven times before
70 was placed on the fires. The condi-
ton still remains serious.
