Morgan Approved Too

When a very much perturbed
Ohio Congressman came to Lincoln
concerning the ravages of John
Morgan, the famous Confederate
raider, the president expressed his
admiration for the latter in a
whimsical way. John" he said,
"has a sense of humor which
humanizes him. He captures mail
trains, examines all the letter

go right along, but the big en-

JUNIOR PROM
BIG SOCIAL EVENT
OF THE YEAR
Decorations Distinctive Fea-
ture Of the Occasion

The Junior Prom, given last FRI
day by the class of 1920 was an
immense success in every way.
About one hundred and seventy
couples were present and everyone
seemed to enjoy the dance to the
utmost. Indeed some of those who
have attended many proms declar-
ed that this one surpassed all
former ones.
The decorations in the armory
were beautiful and at the same
time, they were quite distinctive,
for the committee subordinated
the blue and gold to the class
colors-crimson and white-mak-
ing the prom a real Junior func-
tion. Just beneath the roof trusses
la canopy of crimson and white
crepe was woven over the whole
armory, covering up the rather
barren appearance of the beams
and giving a warmth and richness
of color that was most gratifying.
Shades of blue and of gold, placed
above the lights, further obscured
the beams and added to the effect
of the canopy. In front of the bal
cony was decorative feature con-
sisting of a transparent blue hen
and chicks which served to recall
one of the oldest traditions of our
state. Directly opposite this hen,
in the center of the farther end
wall, were the class numerals,
made of crimson and white and
placed on a paned of gold bordered
with blue. In the corner of the
room, placed above a tall ever
green tree was the real triumph of
the decoration,-the moon. When
the lights were out this moon
shone as a full yellow disk, but
when the room was darkened, the
moon, lighted from the back, be-
came a bright crescent of gold
with single gold star and a gold
30 within it's horns, shining out
from blue sky.
The music was furnished by
Jacobs orchestra.
The program was most attrac-
tive. Upon the front cover was the
college seal, embossed in blue and
gold. Beneath it, in gold letters
was Junior Prom" and 1919"
The edges were of gold and blue
silk cord was attached, making it
true Delaware program.
Refreshments, consisting Of
chicken salad sandwiches, cakes,
ice-cream, and coffee, were served
during the intermission.
The patronesses for the prom
were: Mrs. John Pilling, Mrs. S. c..
Mitchell, Mrs. E. L. Smith, Mrs.
Ernest Wright, Miss Edwina Long,
Mrs. c. A. Short, Mrs. Geo. E. Dut-
ton, Mrs. Alex. McGoughan, Mrs.

Maine Soldier with Canadians Read
His Name There.

MILFORD G. Cakes of Pafton. Me-,
who returned home after Il remarkable
record of service in Il Canadian ar
tillcry regiment, had the experience,
near Cambria, of viewing his own
grave, with his name inscribed on Il
rude slab over the last resting place.
He took snapshot of the grave as
q souvenir.
Cakes was severely wounded sew
eral times. In one battle when he
was wounded he lost his idCnt.fica-
ton card. His Jaws We're shot away,
making it impossible for him to COM
municate his identity, and as he was
missing from his company his death
was finally reported. Some other sol
der was buried under his name.
A surgical operation gave him new
iawbones. and today one has to OK
anime his face carefully to find the
scars.
When young Cakes enlisted in 1914
he was seventeen, but his discharge
papers give his age as twenty-five
wears. This is because he was so anX-
ious to enlist that he raised his age.

jAPS CHEER RULER
FOR FIRST Time
Adopt Western Way of Showing
Loyalty to Their
Emperor.

For the first time In the history of
Japan the people have cheered their
mOnarchs. Popular celebrations were
held in Tokyo to celebrate the tiftieth
anniversary of the removal of the i'm
perial capital from Kioto to Tokyo and
the establishment of Tokyo as a mu-
nlcipality.
For two days the people of the me-
tropolis gave themselves up to enthusi-
astic rejoicngs. The city was gay
with festoons, flags and magnificent
evergreen arches.
Emperor YOshihitO with his consOrt
and Crown Prince HirOhto drove
through the packed streets in open
coaches and bowed in acknowledgment
of the respectful "banzai'' of the multi
tudes.
In the past the emperor of Japan
has rarely made his appearance in the
public streets and has always been re-
ceived in silent homage. The recent
ovation after the western idea is re-
garded as democratic approach of
the emperor to his people. In other
WoruS, Japan Is responding W the
democratic spirit abroad in the world.
The municipality presented to the
emperor and empress several historic
documents and pictures concerning the
capital. The pavilion used for the prin-
cipal ceremonies In Ueno park was
specially erected in pure old japanese
style, the roof being matched with the
bark of cryptomerias and the outer
walls being covered with green cryp-
tomeria leaves. The walls inside were
beautifully decorated with gold dust
and covered with screens and curtains
having designs of flowers and birds.
A procession reconstructing the an
cient diamy0 corteges and lanterns and
flag professions were included In the
celebrations, which was commemorate
ed also by the issuing of a special post
age stamp.
Every house, from richest to poor
est, bore in front an exquisite paper
lantern surmounted by spray of
cherry blossoms.

London.-Nearly 200 warships OF

Among the vessels to be disposed OF

hOvers an intense sentimental interest
A somewhat similar step was taken
by the admiralty in 1904, when large
number Of obsolete vessels were dis.
posed of. AT that time great hue and
cry was raised, as many persons feared
that the strength of the navy would be
seriously impaired. But, as a matter
Of fact, the sale of the ships resulted
in making the navy stronger than ever
and the coming sale Is expected to
have similar effect.
The removal of obsolete vessels In
1904 had a two-fold purpose, and In
both respects was justified by the war
1t set free the personnel needed to
start the nucleus crew system, and
placed out Of commission ships which
did not give an adequate return In
fighting efficiency for the cost of their
upkeep.
Widespread interest will be aroused
by the revelation of the names of ships
to be removed from service. Senti-
mental interest in his majestys ships
Of war Is strong, amounting almost to
reverence, evoked by such an ancient
monument as Nelson's Victory.
Among the ships now to be dis
posed Of are many which have been
brought prominently before the public
eve. Several have flown the flags of
distinguished officers, and not few
have made records In connection with
the war.
More than 100 destroyers, compris-
ing the "A" to ST" classes are now
classed as noneffective, and 81 of
them, including 81 for immediate dis
posal, appeared in the list Of April 8.
There will soon, therefore, be no de-
stroyers in the navy launched before
1900. All the torpedo boats, except
the SO turbine-driven boats of the
coastal type built in 19O6-O9, are be-
ing cleared off, and 40 are in the list
Perhaps the most interesting unit Of
this group is torpedo boat No. O79,
which In the naval maneuvers was
commanded by King George, then a
