might receive home treatment, but he
did not know what the situation might

Superintendent Lyons. Of the Della

was the most serious part OF the work.
The night superintendent and eight
nurses are sick at Delaware Hospital
Superintendent Lyons expressed the
wish that the state Council OF Defense
would commander Miss jeanette Dun
can TO come back and help the hospital
until she is called for army work.
DR. A. Z. Frantz urged that something
be done without another days delay.
He said the epidemic might come down
full force in a night upon Wilmington
and the city ought TO be prepared. and
not wait until conditions were desper-
ate. The hospital ought to be secured
today and equipped today, he said.
The Wilmington Council OF Defense
has authorized the city and State
Boards Of Health TO go ahead and do
whatever is needed, with the promise
that they will be backed up by the
Council Of Defense. John
j. Raskob, chairman Of the financial
committee Of the State Council Of De-
fense. yesterday told the city and State
Boards OF Health that the State Council
Of Defense would back up the health
boards financially, and see that all eX-

the good news that the Red Cross had
list Of 80 nurses. most OF whom could
be on the job the moment they were

Miss Madeline Draper reported that
the Red Cross had emergencw supplies,
as follows: 100 cots, 23s blankets, 81

Roumania also might get back in the
war. Anti-German feeling is intense
there and with the menace Of attack
from Bulgaria removed she might be
able 20 throw of the German yoke.
Everything depends on what peace
terms Bulgaria will accept. Since she
also asks for suspension OF warfare, IL
Is assumed she is ready to accept the
Allies terms. Four months ago, Bull
garia approached Greece through Swity-
erland and asked for an armistice. but
the request was not even considered as
the Greeks feared Bulgaria's motives.
II is realized now, however, that Bul-
garia's situation Is changed and the
chance the Allies have OF shattering
the German Bloc may change entirely
