HUNS USE 70 DIVISIONS.
Have lost $4,000 Men, Captured and
500 Guns.

With the French Arm in France.
July 25.-Up to the present 70 Ger
man divisions have been identified
In the present fighting zone and the
battle therefore may be regarded as
the biggest since the beginning of the
war
The prisoners taken number 25,OOO
and more than 500 cannon and thous-
ands of machine guns have been cap
tured
Of the prisoners fourteen per cent
belong to the 1919 class, showing
that nearly all these boys already have
been Incorporated in fighting units. Il
all of them have been utilized they
would form from II to Is per cent OF
the German strength.
Information received proves that the
1920 class which it was intended t.
be incorporated in the army of Octo

TWO STREAMS TO BE
KEPT FLOWING

There is a never-endlng stream
these days Of khaki-clad boys follow
ing the lines Of American railroads
to the Atlantic coast, from where they
sail for France. These young fight
ers who go willingly and cheerfully
that the principles of our Government
may never be lost, and that liberty
and justice may live forever, are the
glory of America. Their slogan is
Justice and Equality for the entire
world Their purpose is to make the
world safe for women and children,
where men may live as brothers.
That this large stream of khaki
clad boys may go over and do the
work to which they are called, and re-
turn to- their own country strong ard
victorious, there should be another un-
ending stream, this of gold and silver
dollars, pouring into the United States
Treasury. It should flow unceasing
that these boys may have clothing,
food, medicine and the best equip
ment; in fact, everything that is need
ed to help them to win.
North Carolina is constantly adding
to the khaki-clad stream. Therefore,
she should take care that her rivulet
of dollars and cents should be ade-
quate to supply the needs of her sol
diers. For every son that she sends
away from home she owes a debt Of
support and equipment. Furthermore,
she owes to make him feel that she
is willing to stand back of him in eve
nv need and to make any sacrifice to
show her appreciation of his willing
ness to die for her if necessary. No
State and no people can afford to DO
less than it's very best at all times as
long as it has representatives over
there in the struggle. The War Saw
ings cause is now the call to the
States pride and patriotism. Through
the response made to this call the
and the feelings Of the people back

RED CROSS NEEDS
WILLING WORKERS
Demands Of War on Women Are More
Urgent Than Even; Machines
Must Keep Humming.

More workers are urgently Needed
for the Delaware Red Cross. There
are many things that a new and un-
trained volunteer can be taught to do
accurately in very brief time, in the
surgical dressings and hospital sup
plies work. so that lack OF knowledge
should not prevent anyone from join
ing one OF the many Red Cross
branches and auxiliaries scattered
throughout the State. An afternoon
or evening a week, or time given daily
will help the boys at the front. Work
ers are needed in greater numbers
than before. now that the American
army has gone in. and the demand
for Red Cross supplies will be cOntin-
ually increased. The people Of Del
aware are appealed to not to let the
demand made Of Delaware be greater
than the supply forwarded in response
and more workers are needed at once
il the Chapter is to keep up with the
amount of work requested. Full infOr-
nation will be gladly given anyone
calling at the headquarters of the Red
Cross.
The allOtments assigned TO Della
ware are growing tremendously lar
ger. They are doubled every month.
That neare that the women working
so faithfully must give more hours
than ever, and new ones must help.
After all. is there anything OF greater
importance at the present time?
In addition 10 the April allotment
OF surgical dressings, comes a request
for a great number OF front line pack
cts. These waterproof parcels con
tain a number Of surgical dressings
needed by a surgeon at the front. Some
wounds. II attended 70 at once, before
waiting until a field hospital is reach
ed, may be saved from infection, when
with delay they would be certainly in
fected The dressings in these pack
cts are intended for just such emer-
gencies. They will save thousands of
lives. These packets have been order
ed by the first line surgeons and are
being made exactly according to their
specihcatiOns. but they must be made
with greater speed and more hands
are needed.
The same applies TO the hospital
supply department. There should be
no machine standing idle in the Red
Cross rooms during working hours.
Work that is taken home should be
turned in as promptly as possible,
hopsital supplies, refuge garments,
and infant layetts. Refuge garments
are needed. Il is probably not nee
essary TO urge the making Of more
hospital garments as the hearts Of
American women will not let them
neglect the needs Of our boys, fighting
and wounded, and trusting to the
mothers and sisters of America to
help them in their fast approaching
hour OF need.

FARM BUREAU MEETING At WILDWOOD

The Farm Bureau meeting schedul-
ed for April 8 at MillwoOd was post
poned on account OF the storm until
this evening, Friday, April ls, at 8
p. m.
Over $50 farm account books have
been distributed TO Kent County farm
ers and at this meeting those inter
ested in keeping farm accounts can
secure books free Of charge and also
instruction in keeping them. Farm
ing is a business and also a business
Of sufficient importance TO warrant
keeping a simple system OF accounts
which will not require over i've min
utes a day. We have been guessing
long enough. At the end Of the year
let us know exactly what the farm mas
returned during the year.
A demonstration on testing seed
corn will be given. Seed corn IN
many cases is low in termination this
spring on account Of the damp condi-
ton Of the corn last fall and winter.
Every farmer should at least make
general test and If he finds that many
Of the grains fail TO grow he should
test every ear or get good seed corn.
This is the first meeting in wildwood
and a good attendance Is expected.
The Kent County Farm Bureau Is pro-
crossing well in most sections OF the
county and nov has a membership OF

THE COUNTY FARM BUREAU

1t has been found necessary to have
some organization Of farmers through
which they can do more effective work.
This war has shown US that we will
all have to pull together if We are go
ing TO beat the Hun. The problems
of cooperative maketing, cO-opera-
tive buying, assistance in handling the
labor situation, in securing and dis
tributing farm machinery where most
needed. saving Of wheat. meat, sugar.
ETC., and doing our best 70 help win
the war. can only be met by united
effort. The Farm Bureau has been
found to be the best means Of hand
ling all these questions. Kent and
New Castle Counties already have
Farm Bureaus. The following reasons
have been given by the Farm Bureau
News Of Connecticut why the Farm
Bureau should be supported.
l. Il is part OF tne great Federal
organization; it Is the connecting link
between the enormous resources Of
the United States Department Of Ag-
riculture and your county; it is the
authorized representative Of the Unit
ed States Department Of Agriculture
in your county
:. II IS part OF strong STATE
organization it is the connecting link
between the State Agricultural Col
lege Extension Service and your coun-
ty; and it is the authorized represen-
tatiye of the Agricultural College Of

3. Il is an organization Of individ-
uals. groups and forces in your coun-
ty. who by the force Of united action
can get together on big problems and
accomplish results.

to work with organizations and indi-
viduals in your town and other towns.
