life, for he questioned him un-
mercifully. He asked him every
thing, from the name of his regi-
ment to the innermost secrets of
Hindenburg's plans. He asked him
where the Kaiser was, what had
been the strategy Of the German
1917 campaign, ETC., etc. The in
terrogator insisted that this poor
half-wit should know the state Of
German internal politics, and he
even quizzed him on the submarine
campaign. Stupefaction took the
place Of fear in the prisoner S

Interesting Wilmington Land
mark to Undergo Change

One of Wilmington's most in
teresting landmarks is to undergo
internal change during the summer
months. After standing practically
unchanged for 104 years, the old
Friends Meeting House on West
street, above Fourth, one of the
landmarks Of the city, will be reno
waited during the summer months.
The old brick structure was erected
in 116 in the heart of the city S
oldest residential district. The long
years, changing fashions and modes
of life, newer architectural ideas
and modern improvements, have
left no visible touch on the old
meeting house, its interior particu-
larly being today what it was
century ago.
The benches are as they were
originally placed in the building
cut from hard wood and un.
painted. The building is probably
the only church edifice illuminated
with gas and there are no vesti
bules. One steps directly from the
street into the. meeting room.
The plans for renovation call fol
a general "modernization' of the
structure. The outside will remair
intact, the improvements all being
on the inside. Under the balcony
at the Fourth street end of tn,
building a vestibule will be con
structed with lavatories, rest room
and a kitchen.
