DELAWARE SOCIETY
IN NATIONS CAPITAL
Senator Ball, Sponsor
Hopes for Thriving Social
Organization
ELECT OFFICERS AT
THE NEXT MEETING
Special TO The Evening journal.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. July 5.--Plans
were started here Wednesday evening
to form a Delaware society for the Dis
trct Of Columbia. The first meeting
sugurs well for the formation Of such
an organization in the nations capital.
United states senator l.. Heisler Ball
is the sponsor for the idea and he call
ed first meeting although an Informal
al one. I'm his office In the senate Office
Building senator Ball stated that the
organization was not 10 be political,
but its main object was 90 bring the
citizens Of Delaware who live In the
city Of Washington together in a So
cial way. There is 10 be no PARTISAN
ship In the society, and Democrats and
Republicans attended the first meeting.
only a temporary organization was
affected at the initial meeting. and the
next gathering for the purpose Of per-
mancnt organization will be held July
81 John w. Dick was elected tempo
rary chairman and Isaac w. Bowers,
temporary secretary. 10 is expected
that United states senator Josiah o.
WoicOtt and Congressman Caleb r.
Layton will attend the next meeting
and make addresses.
Senator Ball stated that 70 was a
matter Of regret that Delaware was not
represented by a state society here Ike
other states. and ne was convincd by
the attendance at the first meeting that
an Dlawarcans I'm the city were willing
10 join such society. Continuing.
Senator Ball said we want an those
who are employed in the different de
partments 10 let the representative in
Congress from Delaware know Just
how the state of Delaware can be ben
eflted by taking advantage Of the diff
ferenl opportunities offered by each de-
partment. Many times the bureau
chiefs are slow in advising your repre-
sentatives how "a certain situation
might effect our state. but IL YOU will
come 10 us through this society we
VIII take steps 90 see 20 &c that Della
ware is looked after"
Senator Ball concluded by saying,
Let as get an those who live here
claiming Delaware as their home 10 !

)est interests Of our State.'

the Bituminous Output.

The United States Geological Sur
Vey announces from Washington th'
probability of another general Goa
shortage next fall and winter. Ths
announcement is based, tho survey
states, upon a nationwide study OF
conditions in the bitumiu1us field.
Unless steps are taken at once, the
Survey says, TO place the mines upon
a basis of increased production there
is every prospect OF a repetition TO
some degree of the tustion that pre-
vailed in the United States during the
winter of l9l7-lS.
The only way production can be
stimulated at the present time, II is
said, is by placing orders with the
mines for coal which will be needed
later on. Production during the hrst
five months Of the car" reads the
statement, "fell $4,000 net tons. or
approximately 25o5 below production
during the first hve months of 1913.
Mines are producing coal now at the
rate of from 100000 to S,500,0O0
tons a week. An average output of
100000 tons week must be main
tanned from June TO January next
If the countrys estimated needs of
500.O00,000 tons this year are TO be
met" ,-.ssf

General satisfaction is expressed
with the desire of the department of
justice to have deported most of the
enemy aliens now informed for their
pernicious activities. These men and
women-a few of @he gentler sex are
included--were either German spies
and agents, taking their chances as
such, or else traitors TO the country
that had given them shelter. In either
case they are not wanted in America
and should be sent back to the land
they came from or that they served.
There are a lot Of others who might
well be deported, but we are too mild

that the administration is as unpre-

was for the war itself He warned his
party that 1t would be held responsible

other attack was made by Republic.

Secretary Daniels tells the congress
SiOnal committee that his determine
ton TO have great navy is based on
the argument that if the league of ma
tons is formed the United States will
be Sinking its share of the policing of
the world if its navy is not as big as
Great Britain's; and that if the league
Is not established and a curtailment
of armament is not agreed upon, we
must have ''incomparably the greatest
navy in the world to defend the Mon
roe doctrine and protect the weak ma
tons. His program, according to his
own admission. is intended as an argu-
ment by which President Wilson can
bring the other nations to accept the
proposed reduction of armament The
secretary says the president backs up
his policy if competitive building is to
continue. Mr.. Daniels new three-year
building program calls for the apprO-
priation of $6O0,OOO,OOO to provide for
156 additional naval ships, including
ten dreadnaughts and six battle cruis-
ers.
