Dog Treatment
DISGRACE FOR GIRL
TO BE WITH FIGHTER

Soldiers stationed at Fort Dupont
have expressed their dissatisfaction
with the treatment given them by the
citizens OF Delaware City, for which
town, they point out they have done
everything in their power. The sol
diers are looked down upon" by the
town people. one solder says, and it
Is considered almost a disgrace. ne
says, for a girl to be seen walking
along the street with a man in uni
form.
One Of the dissatisfied soldiers
makes the following statement In re-
gard TO the treatment accorded the en-
listed men by the people Of Delaware
City:
1T has been known for some time
that the enlisted men at Fort DUPONT
have upheld and practically supported
that little mud hole In the marsh,
called Delaware City.
"The boys Of the Fort have been for
some time trying to dope out Just why
and who the man was that had the
nerve to name such place q city.
Thu Inhabitants Of said township
really do not know how the other half
Of the world is living. because they
have not been any farther than VII
mngton or. Port Penn. therefore; when
stranger comes in town Re Is ireoted
like yellow cur dog.
There are Al the present time about
i50 enlisted men stationed at the Fort.
Now among these 450 men you can
find some very intelligent persons,
who prior TO their enlisiments for the
war emergency. were successful bust
ness men or otherwise holding down
good positions in the larger cities.
1T was only during the last few
DAYS that 4 conversation between two
ladies OF the so-called city. was 'over-
heard by a soldier who stopped In a
store TO buy cigar.
lone Of the ladies happened 10 looS
out the window and see a soldier ana
one Of the young girls or the town
walking toward the Fort. TO take in
movie show. This Is what followed
between the two ladies': 4 do not see
how some people get away with H. II
my daughter would walk down the
street with a soldier no one In the
town would ever speak 10 her again.
eNow we would also Ike 10 say that
there are a few real old families LEFT
IN the so-called city, but these famil-
les are not the ones that are constant

from the Fort
