MILFORD FORMS
| DEMOCRATIC CLUB
Young Men Line Up for Clean
Politics and High Grade
Sponsors.

A Young Mems Democratic Club was
organized At Milford last night, and
Judging from the enthusiasm Of those who
attended the meeting and pledged their
support 10 the party and the placing OF
clean candidates IN the field at coming
elections, the Democrats Of that section
of the State will be heard from n future
political contests.
Plans are under way in several other
sections for similar organizations, and
these it is said will speedily take form and
prepare for the national as well as State
election in the fall.
The officers selected for the Milford
club are-President, 7. Carlisle Collins
secretary, Harold Solomons; treasurer,
Wilson Vineyard. The following COM
mittee was named to nominate an execu-
tive committee: William L. Boyce, Roy
I. John, M. G. Dill.
The activities of the Milford Club
will be devoted to the section about that
town which also embraces Cedar Creek
hundred in Sussex county and Milford
hundred in Kent county.
With the energetic manner W th which
the Milford young men who became af-
fiIisted with the club last night entered
into the spirit Of the meeting, it is expect
cd That within snort time It's membership
will be close to two hundred.
Ex-Sheriff Kirby of Kent county and
Josiah Marvel of this city addressed the
members. The speakers dwelt upon the
Importance of young men taking an IN
terest in governmental matters. That
often times too little Importance was at
tached to affairs that involved the whole
country.
The necessity for clean politics was en-
phasized II was shown that high grade
men must represent the party IN public
office as well as in party councils, as no
party stands higher than the man who
represents it and speaks for it.
That it is the duty of all men next TO
their church activities To engage in gov
ernmental affairs through loyalty to
their party and the men they send to
represent them was another point clearly
defined by the speakers.

Copenhagen, April l.--Dcspite reports
that were current late yesterday and last

prospects of . settlement Of the general
strike called by the Danish labor unions
in protest against the refusal OF King
Christian TO rcinstate the dismissed
Zahle Ministry, the PoIitiken reports
government preparations TO put the
military forces in shape for dealing with
possible trouble IL likewise declares
that n movement is on foot by the govern
mcnt to cause the occupation Of the
FIensburg zone by Danish military forces.
The troops in Copenhagen, the Politikon
says, have been served with ball cnrt-
ridges and the soldiers instructed TO be
prepared To use their arms against demon
strators. Much anxiety, adds the news
paper, has been caused by a report that
there is unrest in this connection among
the non-comrnissioned officers.
This newspaper also reports that the
cabinet has issued notice calling up
enlisted men who are now IN service for
the purpose of having them take part in
an occupation Of the Flensburg zone

F0CH CALLED To ADVISE
IN SITUATION At RUHR
France inlay Advance Line if
German Troops Are Sent Into
Occupied Zone.

by Associated Press TO Every Evening
Paris, April Premier MiIlerand this
morning received DIR. Won Mayer, the
German charge d'affaires, and went over
the situation in the Ruhr district with
him. The premier reiterated the terms
of his letter Of yesterday dealing with tho
question of permission for German troops
to enter the Kuhr region IN which he
expressed the view that military inter
veniion in that region At present would be
useless as well AS dangerous. tie added
that the French government was tskIng
steps TO confirm the information upon
which it's decision WAS baeed.
After the departure of the charge the
premier conferred with Marshal Foch
respecting eventual measures 10 be taken
if the Germans should disregard the de
eision against the sending of more of their
troops into the Ruhr district. No appre-
hension is expressed, however, that any
thing further would result than dem
rnonstratration such as An advance
the French troops q dozen rnI,es or so m
such coDteEgency. Ihls advance
would mean the occupation of Frankfort
and Darrnstad 1t is not expected, how
ever, that this would provoke any violent
manifestation by the Germans, SINCE DIR.
Won Mayer in his first interview with VI
Millerand on the subject Is declared to
have intimated that his government might
consent to such an advance AZ guarantee
of the evacuation of the Ruhr district by
the additional German troops, If they were
allowed to enter the region.
At the same time there is much skepti
cism here, even In circles close to the gov
ernment, regarding the efficacy or the
desirabihty OF such an advance. 1t Is
pointed out that Frankfort, Darmstad
and in fact all the territory the occupation
OF which is under consideration, now are
commanded by French batteries and
would not be more completely dominated
If French soldiers were picketing through
out the area Moreover such demon
stration would not be in accord with what
appears TO be the French policy of avoid
ing as far as possible causes of friction
with the German population and even
the adoption of as oonciliatory an atti-
tude toward the government as is con-
sistent with insistence upon strict expecta-
ton of the peace treaty.
The impression today appeared TO be
that the whole trouble would blow over
without the necessity of any radical meas
ures being taken.

H. C. L. HITS MARRIAGES.
Price of Becfstcak and Shoes is
Partly Responsible, Magis-
trates Report.

Local magistrates report very few
marriage licenses during the Lcnten period
More marriage licenses have been issued
this year, however, than last. Beginning
with next week this business is expected
to increase greatly.
The Easter season always has shown a
fair rivalry against the month of june
in the production of brides.
The hard winter and the price of beef
steak and shoes is blamed by one magis-
trate for the falling off who claims that
il il was not for this, there would be more
licenses issued than ever. This, he claims,
is responsible for deterring number OF
prospective brides and grooms from the

IN NINTH WARD
Additional Protection May Follow
a Week of Twelve Robbcries
or Attemps.

Twelve burglaries or attempts to rob
in the Ninth ward within week have
80 aroused the city TO the need of further
protection in that district that a special
plain clothes guard may be put on duty
there The thefts are evidently the work
of skilled professional jimmy worker,
or small band of them, as entrance
into houses is usually gained by prying
open a door or window.
The machine shop of Robert +. Fran
co.'s, on Pine street below Vandever
avenue, has been rihed three times with
in the week. The burglar made away with
a quantity of tools on each visit. A small
quantity of cash, tolls and ample refresh
ments of milk and cream were the loot
from the milk depot of Clarence Fraim of
Vandever avenue. From the home of
John Boyce, 1918 Church street, gold
watch and chain valued at $50, and a
purse containing cash and car tickets
were taken. Titus Rudie, COS East Twenty
second street, lost eight dozen eggs and
a quantity of clothing
Several times the burglar has been
scared away before he could complete
his work. Miss Virginia Bird was awaken
cd by the touch of the marauder's hands
on the bedclothes while she was sleeping
at the home of her sister, Mrs. Norman
Taylor, 62l East Twenty second street.
Her screams aroused the household ard
the man escaped. Miss Bird was too
frightened to be able to give any descrip-
tion of him.
Harry Butler. of 315 East Twenty
second street. reached his home Monday
night while the burglar was attempting to
pry open the window of the kitchen. A
boarder named Harper, aroused by the
noise, saw the thief escaping just as MIR.
Butler opened the back door.
A dog at the homo of Clyde Patterson,
1904 Church street. protected the house
by barking when entrance was attempt
ed through the cellar and kitchen doors.
The house-breaker was also scared away
from the home of John Boulden, COB East
street, before he had made
his way into the house.
