POOR SERBIA
GETS SLOWLY
ON ITS FEET

Nish, Serbia, Jan. 16 (Correspon-
dence of the Associated Press)-
Three months Of unremitting indus
tary, unhampered by Bulgarian and
Austrian depredations or interfer-
ence, have enabled the Serbian peo- !
pie to secure a new hold on life. With |
the country entirely free Of inved-
ers, the large peasant population has
succeeded in setting things in order
in surprising fashion, and conditions
should be almost normal soon.
Large quantities Of wheat and 9TH
er staples, which the shrewd Ser
bi nafarmers hid from the enemy,
ave reappeared. At the moment the
most pressing needs seem to be
clothing shoes, fuel and agricultural
implements.
Apparently there is plenty of mon
ey in the country, some Of it hav-
ing come from Austrian and Ger
man soldiers, who, it may be said
to their credit, paid for most Of the
articles they took from the Serbians
during their occupation. However,
the Bulgarians, who requisitioned al
most everything they required from
the already straitened population,
often paid nothing for what they
took. In the cities most of the
stores have no stocks because they
soldalmost everything to the Aus
trians and Germans.
Fortunately the harvest last fall
was exceptionally good and there
probably will be nothing approach
ing starvation among the poor this
winter. The enemy troops carried
off almost every article of value they
could lay hands on, but they did not
have time, owing to the suddenness
| Of their retreat, to take with them
more than 25 per cent Of the avail
able grain supply. Meat is abundant
though high in price. Before the
war it sold for cents pound; now
it sells for Sc cents. Large numbers
of sheep raised in the mountains
furnish not only valuable meat sup.
ply, but an abundance of wool, which
has provided the peasants with the
only clothing they have had in four
years.
Serbia's most vital need is fol
clothing. Even well-to-do persons
are shabbily, or, at least, scantily
/ clad. The Associated Press corespon-
dent observed an army officer of
high rank dressed in a skirt made
Of flour sacks. The little clothing
that may be bought is held at pro-
] hibitive prices. The ordinary peas
ant working costume costs $3.50,
shoes $50, underwear of poor quail
ity $25, and thread is priced at So
spool. A consignment of old
clothes from the Buffalo, N. Y,
chapter of the American Red Cross,
valued at home at $72, was ap-
praised at $1,000 by a merchant in
the Pinot district, where the Red
Cross is carrying on relief work.
The Buffalo supplies were distribu-
ted on Christmas day and brought
happiness to many homes.

u. S. GENERAL is
BILLETED NEAR
HISTORIC SPOT
(By Associated Press)

Coblenz, Feb. 18.-Major Gene
raj Joseph Dickman, commander of
the Third American army, is "bil-
leted" today within a stones throw
of the spot where King Wilhelm of
Prussia was standing July IA, 1870,
when he heard of the declaration of
war by France against Prussia. The
spot, now overgrown by a clump of
shrubbery and marked by a suitably
carved granite tablet, is in the Kais-
erin Augusta promenade in Cob
lenz, on the west bank of the Rhine
where the king had just landed aft
er crossing the river from Ems.
General Dickman's "billet'' is a
three-story house-one of the finest
residences in Rhenish Prussia. The
home is the property of Wilhelm Won
Oswald, an extensive mine owner,
who has "gone away for the win
ter"
Next door to General Dickman's
temporary home is another fine res
idence also taken over by the Army
cf Occupation, being used for the
generals visiting Coblenz now and
then.

Delaware Legislature

The Delaware Legislature met in
biennial session last Tuesday. John
G. Townsend, Jr., Governor, gave an
address to the Legislature. At the
beginning he said:
"In the exercise of the privilege ac-
corded by the Constitution to address
you, it is we'll on this occasion that
our first thought should be in recogni-
ton of the Guiding Providence who
shapes the destiny of States and
nations.
Goods clock may seem delayed, but
in His own time, it strikes with force
full significance. Never in the history
since the star shone over the plains of
Bethlehem, has a new era been so def
nitely marked as when on November
18th, the armistice was signed-the
beginning of the end of the worlds
greatest conflict. The dream of Cal
vary is about to become a recognized
fact, and the government of nations,
as expressed in the ideals of America,
are today a potential reality. So then,
in this event, and on such an occasion,
may we not rededicate ourselves TO
our task and renew sacred oaths to
face seriously the new duties before
us? Of serious import always, this
session of the General Assembly has
in its power, the realization of a new
err and better day for Delaware. An
honor, always, to represent fellow citi-
zens in halls of legislature, there is,
at this time, opportunities with at
tending responsibilities, heretofore I'M
known.
"The world has been made safe for
democracy. Right, as conceived by
Christian nations, has won. Victory
has triumphed, bringing with it at
tending obligations which we are to
face. The responsibilities of peace
are the issues of to-day"
Among the other recommendations
he said:
"Voicing, I believe, the opinion of a
large majority of the State electo-
rate, as well as the whole people, and
expressing the decided trend of the
times, | recommend that such temper
ance legislation be enacted that will
make this State by statute, in keeping
with the act of Congress and that the
manufacture and sale of Intoxicating
liquors be made illegal on and after
July l, 1919"

Flu is Bad Again

Becoming alarmed at the great in
crease in cases of influenza reported
here during the last week, members
of the board of health have taken ac-
ton toward caring for those patients
who need attention. That the dis
Ease is raging with undated fury
here was shown Monday when the po-
lice department was called on to sup
ply patrol wagons as ambulances in
removing victims from their homes to
local hospitals, the Phoenix Fire Com
pany ambulances having met with
mishaps.
In the northern section of the city,
beyond the B~randywine creek, whole
families are belfast with the malady,
and in several homes two or more
children i'll with influenza We're re-
moved by the police to private hos
pitfalls.

"OVER THE RIVER"
DELAWARE IS BIRD
Thirty-Two Other States in Union
Have Higher Standard of Education

The survey of the school system of
the State, as prepared for the State
School Commission, it is understood,
will provide some interesting figures
when it is presented to the Governor.
The work that is now being whipped
into shape for the printer, will be
ready for presentation about the last
of this month.
One of the interesting features of
the report, will be the statistics, that
denote the educational standing of the
State.
The examiners who prepared the re-
port, toured the State last summer,
making examinations of schools and
records, and the conclusions arrived
at, are based on these personal and
statistical observations and facts.
TIL statistics will show, that Della
ware stands 33d among the 48 States
of the Union. In other words, there
are 80 States, where the educational
standards are superior to Delaware.

Haughey was arrested at Front and
French Streets while acting SUSPECT
ously and he was declared insane by
the police surgeons. He was ordered
held here, pending an investigation
by the detectives, however. Probably
he will be sent to the State Insane

C. & ID. Canal Appropriation

The House of Representatives last
Friday adopted that provision in the
River and Harbor Bill which appropri-
ates $3,000,000 for the purchase of the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal, not
more than S2,514,289.70 of which shall
be used for its acquisition and the bal
ance to be applied an an initial ap-
preparation for its improvement. All
the appropriations for the improve
ment of Maryland's rivers and har-
bors were also accepted.
The provision for the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal acquisition by the
Government was the subject of some
discussion Representative Frear, of
Wisconsin, charged that the canal paid
nothing on its stock, that the bonds
sold for 6S cents on the dollar: that it
had been run at a deficit for years;
that the canal had failed 70 demon
hat it provided a safe water trip be-
tween Baltimore and Philadelphia
counted for nothing in determining
the wisdom of the appropriation.
Representative Madden, of Illinois,
took the same attitude and declared
that with a deficit of $4,000, 900, 900
in the treasury, appropriations such as
this should not be favored.
Opposition Overcome
Representative J. Hampton Moore,
president of the Atlantic Deep Water
ways Association, and Representative
Linthicum of Baltimore, in addresses
completely overcame all opposition.
Mr.. Moore pointed out that the canal
pays four per cent upon its bonds, be-
sides meeting all maintenance charges
and. that, in those years when it had
been operated at a deficit it had been
able to meet all of its charges out of
earnings of other years. He main
tanned that if the Government deepen
ed and w;dened the canal and made an
up-to-date waterway it would soon
prove its value in water t~ransporta-
ton. He pointed out that this coun-
fry is far behind European nations in
providing waterways as a supplement
to rail transportation and he spoke of
the recent report of President Wilson
going to Manchester, the great Brit
ish manufacturing centre, and a big
liner on the Manchester canal.
The result of the building of that
canal, he said, was that Manchester
gets it's meats from America and it's
other food supplies as cheaply as Liv-
erpool, on the coast. That fact, he
continued, pointed the lesson to be
learned in this country. He called
attention to the embargoes placed
upon shipments last winter by the
railroads, and said that cities like New
York, were told, in effect to get eggs
from their own henroost and potatoes

Philadelphia VS.. Baltimore

Mr.. Linthicum read an editorial
from the Baltimore American entitled
at Applies to Baltimore" and point
ed out that Baltimore was not behind
Philadelphia, of whose port facilities
Representative Moore had drawn a
most roseate picture. Representatives
Linthicum and Moore INDUCED in
some good natured badinage, Mr.
Moore admitting that owing to GER
tain conditions that now exist in
Washington, Baltimore was enjoying
a little special prosperity just now.
Mr.. Linthicum admitted that there
might be those in Baltimore who had
gathered some benefit from selling
Squirrel whiskey," but that they were
very few, and even at that, the
"licker' they sold was better than the
stuff most popular in Philadelphia,
which has compelled Secretary of the
Navy Daniels to threaten the Mayor
of Philadelphia that unless Philadel-
phia officials made better provision for
the protection of soldiers and sailors
while in that city the Government
would be compelled to take drastic
action.
The bill appropriates ~$3,571,080 for
the port of Philadelphia.
The bill now goes to the Senate.
