CITY PAYS TRIBUTE
TO MEMORY OF )
WORLD WAR HEROES
Corporal n. w. Johnson, r. J,
Davis and J. A. Chandler,
59th Pioneers.
MADE SUPREME SACRIFICE

I'VE are the dead. Short days ago we
lived.
Felt dawn. saw sunset glow.
Loved and were loved. and now we
lie
In Flanders fields
--Lieutenant-C Colonel John McCrae.
With memorial more imposing
than any like affair ever held in this
city, three Wilmington members of
Company /. 5sth Pioneer Infantry,
who were killed in an explosion on a
German ammunition dump at Banca.
France. January %. 1919. were placed
in their final resting place in Silver
brook cemetery this afternoon.
The three soldiers to make the
supreme sacrifice were: Corporal
Howard w. Johnson, Sol sherman
street. Private Thomas j. Davis. 1893
East Davis street. and Private John
A. Chandler. 1881 West Second street.
In a spirit of thoughtful reverence
and with a renewed thought that Del
aware did play an important part in
the World War. all of Wilmington paid
final tribute to these three sons who
made the supreme sacrifice. From 10
o'clock this morning until the begin
ming of the memorial services. at
O'Clock this afternoon, thousands of
mourners viewed the flag draped cof-
fins lying in state in front of the
Public Building.
The memorial ceremonies in Rodney
Square and in front of the Public
Building were most impressive, Con-
ceivable that IF ye break faith with
us who die the sacrifice of the three
soldiers and the sight of their flag
draped collins struck a major note. 1t
was the true realization of the part
played by ''Delaware's own"
Impressive Home Services.
Funeral services were first held at
the homes OF the dead soldiers at 2
p'ciock. These services, which were
impressive, were conducted by pastors

LAW FOUND
too OBJECTIONABLE
Councilmen Are Opposed to Act
and Its Adoption Not
Thought Possible.

If statements OF some OF the menu
bers OF City Council are 10 be ac-
cepted as evidence of their real feel
ings toward the measure, there viii
be no curfew law in Wilmington, at
least so far as the present governing
body OF the city is concerned While
the majority Of the Council to as
sumo office on July will be members
reelected from the old Council il is
not thought this fact viii cause any
change in their attitude toward the
proposed law.
Several Councilmen have expressed
themselves as strongly against the
curfew Law and one member even de-
clared that he would not vote for il
If he were the only one in the city
whose vote was required TO make it
a law. The members have informally
considered the proposed ordinance
from every angle and while they are
free 70 admit it has some good points
they say there are so many objection
able features, even if gotten up in
ideal shape, that they could not give
il their support.
They have had reports from other
cities where the curfew law is oper-
stive and almost all these reports
show the law is practically a dead
issue in that il is not enforced. The
draft as presented to Council a week
ago provides that the police should see
that children are off the streets by 10
o'clock in summer and o'clock in
winter. Councilmen say they realize
the police force OF this city is none
zoo large now 10 attend TO all the
duties required Of them and TO place
additional responsibility upon the
patrolmen would mean that they
could not properly attend to any of
the work they are expected to per-
form.
Another objectionable feature
councilnen say is the danger of get
ting children into court on too trivial
charges. They also say it would be
hard TO discriminate in age and be-
tween children who had legitimate
business on the streets after the hours
specified and those who were over the
age limit and who had no business on
the streets at night. It seems to be
the general sentiment among the city
fathers that until some measure can he
prepared that is almost the ideal they
viii not adopt any law so prolific in
possibilities for confusion, trouble and
dangers TO the child.

The Albania coal strike, he declared

decisions ever rendered within the
remembrance of man.
This decision" he added. "rend-
cred by the government of the state,
