a. m. we heard a noise out front
and upon looking over the wall of
the cemetery of the little church
saw about 200 Bosch without arms
walking around laughing and talk
ing. All was over. 1t reads like
novel but true it is. A coincidence
IS the dates on which the armistice
came-11th month, 18th day, 18th
hour and 18th Infantry. All noise
had ceased. The world was at
peace and here we are on our way

WARE COLLEGE
Crack Athlete from Maryland

With the resumption of the usual
college sports at Delaware College,
the selection of a coach became ne
cessary. Lieutenant William j. Nc
Avoy, who served in this capacity at
Delaware for many years, resigned to
enter the service and is still doing
overseas work with apparently nc
present prospect of returning.
On recommendation of the Athletic
Council, Dean E. Lawrence Smith,

lev. a crack athlete from Maryland

director and coach. He came to New
ark or Monday and had an interview
with members of the Athletic Council
and with DR.. Samuel c. Mitchell.

commended as coach. He is 27 years
of age and at Maryland State he won
his letter in the three major sports,
football, baseball and basketball. He
played quarter or fullback on the var
sity team for several years and cap
tanned the team the year that Mary
land State won the championship of
the State. In baseball he played
shortstop and third base. He also
played basketball.
The new coach has had experience
in directing athletics in both prepara-
tory schools and colleges since he left
Maryland State. He coached teams at
Perkiomcn Prep School and at MAJ
shall West Virginia college. He play
ed professional baseball one season in
Worcester class B League and one
season at Martinsburg in the Blue
Ridge League. He also took the train
ing course for college coaches at the
University of Illinois three years ago
Until released from the army re-
Gently Lieutenant Shipley was an in
structor in his Alma Mater, Maryland
State. He.wi!l coach football, baseball
and basketball at Delaware and viii

The following letter was receiv-
ed yesterday by DR.. Samuel C.
Mitchell from Captain ]. Wilson
O'Daniel who is with Company X,

was signed. Captain Wilson is a
brother of J. Allison O'Daniel who
lost his life in the service last

Longwy, France
Nov. 26, 1918.
My Dear Dr.. Mitchell:
Your two kind letters | received |
while on the line. They were great
too as at that time every little bit
did help some. | got the last one
the day before we went ever the
top or rather the day we crossed
the Meuse River. You viii have
to pardon me ifsI use a little slang
now and then to express myself.
| feel that | would like to tell you
about our last little scrap. Il
lasted from Nov. 5 to II and con-
sisted of chasing the Bosch for all
we were worth. We had them
biuffed and on the run when the
bell rang. We had chased them
and fought them for 20 kil0meters
in the 5 days, thru rain and cod
Our boys never complained once,
but kept right otter him. My Com
pany had the honor of being the
advanced guard on the crossing cf
our Regiment over the Meuse
River, and also of capturing Hill
260 which was a great point Of
vantage. The last time we went
over the top was on Nov. 10 at d
town called Louppy. My Company
captured most of the town and in
it a wonderful old chateau with
paintings, bright walls, a wonder
/ full terrace, m o t e S, immense
gates and other things that go to
make up a chateau, The boys went
over that last time with a yell,
Fritz went a flying and our men
after them. When night came we
found ourselves thru the town with
the Bosch dug in on the far side
Of it. My Company was dug in
inside a little church yard with
Fritz about 500 yards away. Ma
chine guns were popping and
everything setting pretty when
night came on and then plenty
of shells. Morning and $50 came,
some one came to my P. c. and
told those of us there that armis-
tice was on and things would be
over soon. One of my Seargents
who has been awarded the Medal
of Honor for bravery said in his
characteristic slow drawL oval
what it takes to make Peace I've
get buckled around me-" He haC
it too: 100 rounds of U. S. Ammu

TO GET FINAL TEST

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 30
Americas biggest gun, designed to
throw shells distance of ia miles,
has Just been completed. 1t passed
through Philadelphia yesterday on its
way to a point on the Atlantic sea-
board where it will be given its final
tests 1t was made at the Midyala
Steel Works, mounted at the Eddy
stone plant of the Baldwin Locomotive
works, and weighs 100000 pounds, or
more than 200 tons.
Ten shots are to be fired in the tests
to ascertain the extreme range Of the
weapon, but its designers are confident
it Will shoot ia miles.
Nine others are being built. The
cannon is so constructed that it is
called a mobile gun, despite its huge
size and weight. 1t was mounted on
a specially constructed carriage and
car, hut it rolled along the railroad
tracks as noiselessly as the best oiled
and beared train in the country. 1t
can be used for coast defense or
aboard ship, once it is riveted tight,
but it is primarily intended for land
defense.

Cali grocers are required to make
weekly reports of their sales and these

HEADQUARTERS OF
HARRIS CROWDED
TALK OF OTHER CANDIDATES IS
ALL POLITICAL CAMOUFLAGE-
NO CHANCE AT ALL FOR w. G.
BRANTLEY TO RUN.

ATLANTA, Ca, April S0.-If it was
not plain before, it certainly has be-
come apparent by this time that all
the talk of new senatorial candidates
going the rounds is the camoufiage
work of adroit politicians to muddy the
waters in the hope of finally electing
a senator who can be depended upon
to further their interests.
The friends of William ]. Harris,
whose headquarters here are being
crowded every day by visitors from
all parts of the state, are confident
however, that the trick is. fooling no.
body except those responsible for it
and certainly is not interfering in any
manner with Mr. Harris strength
which they declare is growing every
where, and especially in south Geor-
gia.
The latest camouflage effort con-
sists in an attempted boom for Will
liam G. Brantley. Aside from the
fact that he does not live in Georgia
which would seem to be sufficiently
good reason why he could not be-
come a candidate, and aside from the
further fact that he has stated himself
that he has no idea of running, and
aside from the fact that he draws a
very large salary as leading counsel
for the Association of American Rail-
ways, his boom" apepars to be Great
ing a veritable whirlwind of enthus-
iasm.
If the senatorial incubator keeps on
Matching out new aspirants, the race
will soon take on the aspect of a Lib.
erty Loan campaign instead of q pol
itical contest, as it looks as if an invi.
tation to speak for the loan is regard
ed by some as certificate of entrance
into the senatorial ring.
