Detail on DUTY to Help Maintain
Order Among Soldiers Return
ing From the Various Camps.

The fact that IS soldiers patrolled the
streets Of Wilmington last night. armed
with night sticks, TO help keep order was
due 10 50 many soldiers being discharged
from the camps recently and the fact
that many of them had come to this city,
according to both Chief Of Police Black
and Major Lucien g.. Wiler, commandaat
of the battalion at French street barracks, ,
from which the soldier guards were as
signed.
The recent Bolshcvist trouble III Phila-
delplia caused a number Of people who
were on the streets celebrating New Year :
last night suppose that the augmented
police force was on duty TO protect local
property from bombcrs, or that the armed
soldiers might have been called into action
hurricdly when an important arrest was
about to be made IN the Bolshevist ranks
According to Major Wilcr, the soldiers
will probably remain on duty here for
some time. their duty being entirely milI-
tary and having to dc only with men III
the service. The relaxation that many
discharged soldiers feel after being freed
from military discipline was also factor
in pcrsuading Major Wiler 10 post the
guards. nc said Discharged soldiers
will be under the authority Of the soldier
