that are being planned by the T. S.
Boys Working Reserve These plans
were discussed at a conference held at
Washington thiss week, attended by
Charles Warner and Leon Ryan, Di-
rector and Associate Director of the
Reserve for Delaware.
The proposed csnp is to last for
two weeks, and will likely be located at
Newark. 1t is proposed to give the boys
instruction in many Of the minor, but

Such things as learning to hitch up

SPANISH GRIP HERE.
But if Attended TO Promptly Disease
is not Dangerous.

DR. A. T. Frantz. of the State Board
of Health today admitted that there
were several cases Of grippv colds pre-
valent in this city that resembled In
characteristics the Spanish influenza, the
germs of which, il Is said, were brought
to this country by members Of the crew
OF a German submarine.
DR. Frantz, SAID that there was nothing
TO be alarmed about in the grlppy cold,
if il was attended to promptly but
that the danger came usually IN pneu-
Inonia. that often times followed neglect
The grippy cold however Is contagious
and for that reason, care should be taken
if possible By the one affected, not to
mlngle with others
Wilmington physicians have received
from Navy Surgeon Blue a pamphlet
concerning Spanish influenza
DR.. Blue says Spanish influenza is a
modified form Of the old-fashioned grip.
He states quarantine is not effective, the
only precaution being for persons af-
ficted TO remain in the house and not to
cough or sneeze in the presence Of others.
He recommends systematic treatment,
patients resting in bed and dieting lightly

G|LLETT PLEADS COP
CAUSE IN CONGRESS
Makes Stump Speech for Republi-

Democratic Administration.
Rr Associated Press 70 Every Evening

BY Associated Press 10 Every Evening
Washington. Sept p Representative
Gillett. of Massachusetts. acting Re-
publican leader, in speech IN the House
today, attacked the war record Of the
Democratic majority. contrasting with
it that OF the Republican minority
He said the election of Republican
House this wear would bring no en-
couragement To the Kaiser, for he
knows who have been his fercest foes,
and who he had most reason to fear
Speaker Clark. Democratic Leader
kitchin and Chairman Dent Of the
House military committee, were singled
out for comment on their attitude and
activities. and Chairman Ferris of the
Democratic Congressional campaign com
mittec was accused Of unfair criticism
of the Republican record for campaign
purposes.
'W Would the support Of the war have
been any less vigorous If a Republican
had been Speaker instead OF our honored
Champ Clark, who opposed the de-
claration of war and went out Of his
way TO defeat the draft?' asked Mr.
Gillett
Would the sineWs Of the war have
been any less amply or more sectIonally
provided if a Republican had been at
the head of the Ways and Means com
mittee instead of Mr. Kitchin. who
also voted against the war and against
the draft? Would necessary war legisIa
ton been retarted any more if at that
momentous juncture a Republican had
been Chairmqan of the military com
mittee instead of Mr.. Dent, from whose
hand. the administration program ol
the draft had TO be taken and carried
through by a Republican? And so,
might proceed with the other committees.
