CHRISTMAS COMMUNITY TREE.

Special Correspondence of Every Evening
Lcwes, Dec. 26.--Through the efforts
of the Zwaanendael Club, Jewcs is having
the first Community Christmas Tree in
its existence. The first "sing" was to be
on Christmas Eve, but the weather man,
by his lachrymoee condition during the
| entire day kept tho people from coming
out, but some other evening--the FIRST
clear night--thc musical program will be
rendered
Mrs. jacob Morris is chairman Of pro-
gram and MIR Dane of Philadelphia, the
leader of the singing. Miss Sara Marshall
is chairman Of the Community Christmas
Tree, and much credit il due her for its
success But for her untiring energy, as
sisted by Messrs. Birmingham and Steele,
the project would have proved a failure.
Through the courtesy Of Charles II.
Maull, the tree stands in his lot opposite
the Hotel Rodney, in plain view when
lighted) of the boys as soon as they leave
the barracks.
DR. James r Thompson, mayor of
Lewrs, kindly gave permission for the
town to furnish free electric current.

tree, cut from one of the nearby farms,

Special Correspondence of Every Even ing

I.ewes. Dec. 26.-The Y. M. G. A.
hut at the Fourth Naval Lewos Base,
Monday evening, was he scene OF a most
enjoyable and merry Christmas surprise
for the Y. Nj. G. A. secretary Joseph Me
Conneli and the chaplain, DIR. &. II. B.
Tuner After the Eoys had completed
a musical program, Mr.. Mcconnell was
presented with handsome Hamilton
watch in velvet case, and DR.. Turner WAS
given a fine Edison victrola, with many
beautiful records. Both men were COM
pletely surprised and delighted at the
mark of appreciation. Zach made re-
sponse in fitting speech. The hut rang
with the loud applause six hundred boys.
Mr.. Mcconnell has Ecen nj the Lewes
Base only few months, during which
time he has gained the confidence and
good will of the boys" DIR Turner
has been interested since the first few boys
came to the Base and in every way has
tried, and succeeded too, To make the boys
happy. His home, St. Peters rectory,
is ALWAYS open to them and few nights
pass without bunch of boys taking adj
vantage OF his hospitahle roof There is
always room even when the teds are full
on chair and couch
DR. Turner has lived in Lewes rs rector
of St Peters church for more than SIX cen
V ears and has become identified in all the
reform movements of the town, and is
we'll known throughout the State. He
has been ever ready to sacrifice his own
comfort in trying to better the conditions
of he town and several times has travelled
to Washington, ID c., in behalf of the
Base trying TO get the much-needcd public
road built between Lcwes and the barrack

GOOD OUTLOOK
FOR BUSINESS
Manufacturers ReadJuStmcnt
Committee Believes Era of
Prosperity is Ahead Of Us.

At meeting of the committee on
readjustment of the National AsSocia-
tion of Manufacturers held IN the
Hotel Astor, New York. City, Decem-
Der IL. the committee expresses as ITS
conclusions. that the questions OF the
readlustmcnt of industries of the United
States does not present to the business
interests the insurmountablc tasks many
injudicious newspaper statements cause
the public To think exist.
LIST 1t Is our opinion there exists a
well-dehned attempt To create IN the
minds of the public and of business
men of the United States the impression
We are to experience IN the near future
an unheard of cessation of industry.
Such an impression. we believe Is not In
accordance with the facts.
2d Ii is our opinion that the factories
and stores of the United States are at
present almost depleted of their normal
stocks and that our country is on the
threshold of most unprecedented
business expansion owing TO this domes-
tie condition.
Sd We a-e of the opinion that the
developments of export trade Will nat
urallv follow the prestige gained by
the United States of America Ill
the mar cts of the world and that ii
!, the duty OF AK manufacturers to foster
and encourage such expansion OF export
business aS MAY bc normally and health
fully developed
ith We believe il Is no time to become
hvsterical over the conditions but on
the contrary Il time for watchful. sober
consideration of developments as they
arse to the end, that rc-adyistmcnts
may come about with aS little disturb
aper n possible.
9TH In view OF the above, We caution
all manufacturers against hastN action
ur conclusions IN reference to employ
uent questions. believing aS We do that
the Normal demands of industry will
supply work for All those now employed,
a. well aS the thousands of returning
soldiers AMI sailors Who Will bc returned

bullion of not more than 100000, 900
silver dollars now in the treasury for
sale and export to pay trade balances
and re-purchase Of silver at 81 an
ounce, is proposed in an administra-
ton bill introduced today by Senator
Pittman as an emergency war meas
ure. Silver certificates will be with
drawn from circulation as the dol
lars are taken from the treasury and
federal reserve bank notes Of new
81 and 81 denominations substituted.
If enacted, the measure virtually
would fix standard price for silver
at $ an ounce, several cents above
the present market, and stabilize the
world market, since the Unitefl States
produces almost half of the total
The bill also is intended to stimulate
silver production, and to use the
treasury reserve stocks of that metal
instead of gold, to settle this country's
numerical trade balances In the
Orient and elsewhere.
In anticipation of action by con-
gress, Raymond T. Baker, director OF
the mint, has formulated an agree
ment with silver producers and deal
ers to sell to the government at tho
81 rate.
The bill would permit the seer etary
Of the treasury to fix the selling price
of the governments silver, but it is
assumed this would be not less. than
81. India, China and Japan need sill
yer most for coinage, and quantities
also might be exported to South
! American countries and European
neutraIs whose trade balances are
against the United States. India's re-
Quirem entss would be negotiated
through Great Britain.
491, OOO,1 100 Dollars in Treasury.
The treasur, now holds 491,ooo.1oo
silver dollars containing about 376,-
100000 ounces of silver. In with
drawing silver certificates based on
this coin, effort probably would be
made to take bills of denominations
Of SIS and more, leaving the 81 and 81
bills which now are in great demand.
To guard against contracting cir
culation, however Senator Pittman' S
! bill would provide for issue Of fed
cral reserve bank notes. Of which
only Sill, $40, 600 are in circulation, in
smaller denomination than the pres
ent minimum.
Federal reserve bank notes viz
tuaIly are the same as national bank
notes, but the special notes would
have a slightly different basis, con-
