BOOK SETTLES MYSTERY
OF KITCHENER'S DEATH

London, Feb. 12.-AAdmtral Wis.,
count Jeilico's book on the naval op-
erations OF the war which was pub
lished today settles at last the "mys-
terry OF Lord Kitchener's. death by
stating that the cruiser Hampshire
sank after striking a moored mine OF
the type laid by the German U-boata
One Of several Sensational state
ments in the book OF the former COM
mander OF the British grand fleet Is
that throughout the war the British
fleet was periiousiy short OF destroy
ers to screen the major lighting ships.
The Germans, he shows. were much
better OF In submarines than the Brit
ish.
Viscount JeIlico expresses the belief
that the German lost several chances.
They could have made disconcerting
raids On troop transports and might
have reduced the British grand fleet
greatly by plungfng into the British
northern naval bases, he says. and
might have raided the British coasts
by bold dashes. A carefully laid
trap. including mine fields. and sub
marines. and with the German high
seas fleet, as a bait might have been
effective in inf1icting severe losses on
the British, according to the author.

DOLSHEv|kI AIDED BY
AMERICAN CITIZENS
Methodist Minister, Formerly in
Charge of pctrograd Church,
Gives Committee Impor-
tant Testimony.

Washington, Feb. 12.--Im portant
evidence developed intodays session
OF the Overman subcommittee, which
is In investigating Bolshevik propa-
ganda- was:
LEADERS of the movement In
Russia appropriated two million
ruhles ts2o0.000) to carry on an inter-
national propaganda, the United
, States being one OF the countries in
which portion OF the money was to
be spent
2-The movement in Russia would
have failed Mt the very beginning If
II had not been for the help received
from Americans who followed Leon
Trotzky from New York to Russia at
his solicitation. A large majority of
some of the Bolshevist con,rnunes in
Russia are former Americans.
3~-The pamphlets and songs issued
by the industrial workers of the world
In this country are similar in tone and
doctrine to those put out by the Boil
shevists In Russia
The committee regarded this evil
dence as highly important, as It came
nearer to showing a direct connection
between the Russian Bolsheviki and
radicals in this country than anything
heretofore presented.
The witness from whom this evf-
dence was obtained was the Rev. DR..
G. A. Simons. a Methodist minister,
who was for several years in charge
of the American church in Petrograd.
Saw Cars Downfall.
| He was in Russia through the last
days Of the cars rule and during the
rule of Kerensky ad the present Boil
shevfst regime, He left Petrograd
last October after the Bolshevik lead
ers had issued decree ordering all
Americans who were not in sympathy
with their cause to leave the country.
| DIR. Simons gave graphic descrip-
ton of life In Petrograd under the
reign Of the Bolsheviki, portions OF
his statement being intensely dra-
4 matte, He told how upon several oc-
caaions his house was broken into by
members of the Red Guard. how pis-
tolls were placed against his breast
and his life threatened. Upon eact
OF these occasions he saved himself
only by calling the intruders com.
rade'' and proclaimfng himself ar
American.
Testimony Important.
This testimony by the witness
opened up new line of inquiry. and
Senator Overman suggested that II
would be 'rather surprising II Il
should be found that the Bolshevik
movementh ad it's origin IN this coun-
try, where II had been financed by
German money" To this DIR. Simons
replied with emphasis that the Bol.

SMYRNA CONTINUES TO WIN.
Defeated the Strong Team From
Hartly, Wednesday 10 to 6-FOrt
DUPONT Team Failed to Appear

Smyrna continued its winning
streak Wednesday, by defeating the
strong Hartly nine in loosely played
game by the score of 10 to 6. Hart
ly's hired pitcher, Willis, from Mil
ford, went up in the air completely
in the fifth inning. The feature of the
game was the pitching of Turner, who
cwed but four hits, Hartly's six
runs being due to errors on the part
of the locals. Weather permitting,
Smyrna will go to Hartly and play
there this afternoon. The game which
was scheduled for Saturday between
the Smyrna and Coast Defense (Fort
duPont) team was cancelled by the
river town boys at the last minute.
In order to furnish the large crowd
that had assembled with some enter
tainment, a second team was organ
lied. The regulars defeated them,
score 10 to A. Manager Cochran
has cancelled the game scheduled for
the ninth with Lorraine, due to the ex-
orbitant guarantee demanded by Lor-
raine. The fast Grace Church team
from Wilmington plays here on that

DOVER BANK MAY END CLOSING
First National of Dover Decides to
Keep Open Saturday Afternoon.

The General Assembly, at its last
session, passed a bill authorizing half
holidays on Saturdays for the banks
and trust companies in Kent county,
which holiday has been observed since
May last, the bill having been ap-
proved by the Governor. The First
National, of Dover, has issued no
tice that on and after August their
bank will discontinue the early clos
ing on Saturdays at II o'clock and
will remain open until o'clock, as
formerly practiced by the banks of
the county. The reason given by the
bank is that they wish to accommo-
date the farmers and merchants. Just
what effect this will have on the
other banks in Kent county is not
known, but so far the other Dover
Banks refuse to abandon early Satur-
day afternoon closing. The pass
age of the bill was largely due to
the efforts of the banking insti-
tutions, as such practice had been
in vogue in New Castle county
for several years and had appar-
emily worked out to the satisfaction
of all concerned.

LAST OF DELAWARE BOYS HOME
Companies B, C and d Arrived at
Newport News From France Sat-
urday-WelcOmed by Governor.

Companies B, C and D of the 59th
Pioneer Regiment of Delaware, who
were detained in Paris to help finish
the Pershing Stadium and were sep
arated from the other companies of
the Delaware Regiment who arrived
home some weeks ago, set foot on
American soil again at Newport
News, Saturday, having come over on
the transport Artemis. Governor John
g. Townsend Jr., and delegation re-
ceived them with a hearty welcome.
Nineteen officers and 562 non-commis-
stoned men composed the three COM
panies. Soon after disembarking they
proceeded to Camp Stuart, Va,
whence late in the week they will go
to demobilization camps to receive
their final pay and be discharged from
the military service. 1t was an
nOunced Monday that the members of
these companies who live in Delaware
will be sent to Camp Lee, Va, for
rehabilitation, and residents of other
States in the companies will be sent
to other camps. The members of the
three companies do not seem at all
pleased with their lot in France dur
ing the last few months they were
there. They believe they were detain-
ed abroad longer than was necessary.
Senator Ball, Governor Townsend,
Mayor Taylor, Speaker Corbit, Coun-
cilmen Forwood and Henry and As
semblyman Lyons all look with favor
on the suggestion that Wednesday,
September 8, during the Delaware
State Fair, be set aside as "Ovation
Day. on which a reception could be
rendered to all of Delaware's soldiers
and sailors on the State Fair grounds
and they also view with interest the
plan to have in connection with that
day a Delaware Week, either during
fair week or later, when the recep-
tion for soldiers could also take the
form of a Home Coming Week for all
former Delawareans. They say that
a committee has this subject in
charge and will work out the details.
Speaker Corbit, who is also a di-
rector of the State Fair, thinks all
the fair people will be for the "Ova-
tion Day" project.

perience both in working for con-
tracing builder and in manual train
ing in schools and colleges of New

which have not been provided for,
namely, successors to Miss Mcdowell,
Miss Middleton and Miss Martin.
