BY Associated Press to Every Evening
Vienna, Tuesday, Jan. IA small
body of British troops arrived here today
as the convoy of train load OF foodstuffs,
a present from the British army in Italy
to the women and children of Vienna.
Great crowds followed the convoy through
the streets, giving the men q cordial well
come, but one devoid Of any especial
enthusiasm.
The British officer in command explain
ed to the burgomaster that the supplies
were sent In recognition of the fact that
Austria had treated her British prisoners
with consideration. IN contrast with the
inhuman treatment given them by the
Germans
Three additional trainloads are to fol-
low the first, to alleviate the needs of the
women and children until regular ship
ments begin coming In.
The burgomaster told the British COM
mander that the food had arrived at an
opportune moment, as the situation was
reaching crisis through the fact that
Vienna had not enough flour to last more
than the next four days.

DENIAL by FOSTER.
Almshouse Superintendent Says No In
mates Who Are Able Refuse To Work

AImshouse Superintendent Says No In.
mates Who Are Able Refuse To Work.
Inference WAS drawn from an article
printed in the Morning News today that
Superintendent James w. Foster OF the
County Hospital (aImshouse) at Farm
hurst, had complained that some VI the
able bodied wards there refuse 10 work.
Tho News quotes Mr.. Foster Ne follows:
when give them work IN do they re-
fuse 10 work, and tell rnc they did not come
for that purpose. Lots Of these buns We
arc now keeping in idleness are just AZ
much able 10 work 81 | am, and ought
never TO have been sent there.
II do not think any trustee knowingly
sent man TO the almshouse unless he
really though the man should be sent there,
but in many cases the trustees have been
imposed upon"
'Is it true" Mr. Foster WAS asked by a
representative Of Every Evening, that
there are able bodied men st the alnnshotise
who refuse TO work when told 10 do soI"
NO" he replied There are some who
are too old and decrepit TO work, but even
some Of them help out when necessary.
He told how some Of the old fellows helped
bury the county dead during the IN
fluenza epidemic
Relative TO the presence at the hospital
Of former magistrate and former resi-
dent of Sussex county, which the News
article refers TO, Mr.. Foster said that sue
ls fact. But" be explained, ''the man
is very sick and his wife is with them. They
we're sent here from Wilmington, where the
were living, and that is Why they are here"
Mr.. Foster said the hospital is not over
crowded not being as full as il was year
ago. The number of inmates now is 1876
az compared with al year ago.
