Child Victims Of the War.

In Jugo-Slavia there are 100000 IA
therless children of whom 10000 are
absolutely destitute. Among them tu-
berculosis. eye and skin diseases are
rife. OF these children, up to July,
fewer than 1000 had been provided
for. largely because of the tremendous
difficulties attending the work In an
utterly disorganized community. The
government at Belgrade and the great
American and English relief organ
izations are now working in thorough
harmony In their efforts to carry these
children safely through the winter.
They can only succeed II there is no
stacking of effort on the part Of the
American and British publics.

KEYSTONERS TAKE
FALL OUT OF LEWES

Having read statement In yester-
days Evening Journal to the effect that
sammy Brltton, well known local
boxer, did not appear in the ring al
perryvllle on Tuesday night on ac-
count OF bad teeth. and further stat
ing that a number OF Wilmlngtonians
have been accusing Britton OF cold feet,
several members Of the Keystone Field
Club called upon the sports editor this
morning, presenting a communication
which, In part read:
April l. 1920.
Sporting Editor Of Evening Journal,
Dear Sir:-In glancing over last
nights sporting page, noticed an art
icle signed by Frankie Lewis.
! think this article is one OF the worst
lies, all Of the way round. that ever
appeared In your paper. Lewis. by the
article. makes II appear that a number
Of Wilmingtonians think that Sammy
Britton has cold feet because he did
not fight at Perryyille on Tuesday, but
not many persons knew In the nfst
place that Brltton was not going 10
fight. In addition, Lewis did
not train Britton for the go" as the
latter got into condition at the Key
stone, training with Ralph Raymond.
Lewis. from what ] understand, Is try
ing to make Britton believe that the
Keystoners said that he had cold feet.
However, this is not true, as Brltton
IS a big favorite at the East Side Club
who would do almost anything
for Britton. instead OF knocking him.
''Afr. Lewis is a snake in the grass.
This is not the first time he has tried
TO disrupt the keystone Club. He has
endeavored many times TO get promis-
fns keystone material under his wing
telling them ne would teach them tneI
fne points OF boxing.
ssTo this, ! can say that such one
would learn more about the game az
the keystone +. C. than Lewis ever
knew or Will know.

that will take the trainer stun out OF

Wilmington Primes For
Championship Shoot

When Wilmington faces the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Gun Club in Philadelphia
on Saturday for the championship Of
the Philadelphia Trapshooters' League,
Philadelphians viii have the pleasure
OF watching one OF the strongest teams
perform at the traps that has ever
represented Wilmington, and when one
looks back over previous teams which
have represented this city. the answer
Is that II Wilmington doesn't bring
home the bacon. tho other team will
certainly know they have been In a
shooting match.
To date this season 81 different mem-
bers Of the Wilmington Trapshooiing
Association have made the team, and It
is not believed that any other team can
boast or having as many men on their
team as Wilmington. When Whining
tons tOpnotchers fail IL seems as
though the lower class men step right
In and take their place. Ninety-seven
members OF the Wilmington Trapshoot-
ing Association have taken part in the
league matches this year. and II is ex-
pected that everyone will be on hand
Saturday.
President Ike Turner. OF the Whining
ton Club. feels a hundred per cent. bet
ter since he has learned in addition to
those who have already taken part in the
matches that a number OF the old-timers
will also make the trip.
Mat Rose and John Minnick, the only
two Wilmington shooters who have
turned in scores OF 80 straight, will be
on hand TO try and duplicate. and il
they or any other member succeeds In
breaking the program straight, nothing
will be too good for them.
Bill Foord, X. c. Hoffman, Frank
Malin, George Simon. V. dupont and Joe
Ben McHugh have broken scores OF
l9x50 this year in the league. and Clar-

newest successful means for curing
leaks in ar auto radiator. The ra-

the leaks marked with wood plugs,
y en- it is drained and dried, and a
thin coat OF the fluid applied to
each leak. In 20 to 30 minutes it
may be filled again as a final test.
AS many as 122 tiny leaks IN one

The Killing Of MI. Clay Good
man at Chateau Therry.

The following letter to Mr.. w. l.,
Goodman. in reference 10 the death
OF his brother. Mr.. Clay Goodman.
furnishes additional evidence of the
brutality and beastliness of the Ger.
man soldiers. Real soldiers never
treat brave man. Il on Oh he be an
enemy, in any such manner.
Nespence, Idaho, June Z. 1920.
Mr.. w. L. Goodman, Iuka, Miss,
Dear Sir: / am this day il re-
ceipt of your letter dated June "a.
1920, inQuiring of your Brothers
death. 1t has been very hard for
me'to answer these letters, as have
had 80 many of them from the good
citizens from all over the U. s, ask,
ing me OF the death OF their loved
ones, and at times can hardly heep
the tears back when answering a
loving mother, brother or sisters
letter. But of what service / eau
be to them is in another way a great
pleasure to me, for it must be a
great worry to you and your Father
when you don't know just how your
brave brother met his death. But
he was brother and soldier to be
proud of, and when we were hold
ing the lines at Chatean Therry he
wasAonr Captains Runner. in other
words he was chosen to carry mes
sages from one officer to another,
and this was considered one OF the
most dangerous jobs on the front.
After carrying these messages for
several days he was sent out one
morning, and somehow lost his way;
and headed for the German line.
He never showed up and for several
days no one knew where he was.
Three or four days later cur regi-
ment attacked the German lines,
and after driving the Germans back.
he was found about three-fourths OF
the way between our old line and
the German line, with several Ma
chine Gun bullets in his body and
his throat had been cut by some of
those heartless beasts, the Germans.
But when found by his own COM
|pany he was certainly given a de-
cent burial and now lays somewhere
on what ia known the world over as
the Belleu Wood and Chateau Their
~ Front.
In this fight we lost a great many
men and about one week after your
brothers death received eleven
wounds in my legs and body and
was just discharged about four
months ago. Although am Grip
pie now. but as many OF my other
comrades have said, / am glad |
served my country.
No, / did not know your brother
until ] met him In the End Eagi-
neers, but he was certainly fine
fellow and a good soldier.
Hoping these few lines will COM
fort the sad hearts of Il g Brother'e
loved ones, and il at any time'I
can help you Lwill gladly do SO,
Yours respectfully,
CHARLES B. BILLUps.

 OIL AE0 MINING STOCKS

Hartforss Jan. 14.-Tens of thous- ands Of highly speculative oil and mining company shares are being of fered for sale through the mails and by house to house canvasses in Con- necticut, despite the efforts of the state banking commissioner to pro- tect the public from such invest ments." Every sale of such stock with in the borders of Connecticut subjects the person making the sale to a fine of not more than $100.
 There isn't an oil or mining con- pany in the world that can legally sell stock in Connecticut, according to Bank Commissioner Everett J. Sur hes.
 Under the provisions of Section 3461 of the Connecticut statutes every oil or mining company that wishes to float it's shares in this state must fur nish the bank commissioner with a full statement of it's financial condi- tion and must get license from the commissioner good for one year.
 q have not had any complaints from people who have bought oil or mining stocks but if 1 do I will pre- sent the facts to the attorney gen eral as provided by law" MT. Sturges said today.
 Five companies have made applica- tions since last September for the privilege of selling such stock in Connecticut but due entirely to their own procrastination in filing neces- sary statements the investigation provided for has, not even begun.
