UNCLE SAM LETS
DOWN THE BARS

As a direct result Of the advertis-
ing power Of The Evening Journal
the family OF Angelo Delapo, 41S
Tatnall street, was reunited shortly
after 6 o'clock last evening.
Delapo, as was told in The Eve
ming Journal last Friday evening,
needed a job to obtain the release OF
his family from the immigration sta
ton at Gloucester, n. J. For nine
years he had worked and saved as
an unskilled laborer to bring his wife
and "bamblnos' from Italy to this
country. He saved s5OOs out OF
which he sent s4OO to Mrs. Delapo
to pay the passage OF herself and
the children to this country.
Then he lost his jobl
The family arrived last week at
Gloucester. but was refused admit
tance because Delapo was out Of
work. He appealed to Miss Helen
Hart. head Of the Americanization
Buresu of the Service Citizens, who
in turn appealed TO The Evening
Journal for aid. Also she set the
wires in motion for an appeal to Sec
retary Davis, of the Department OF
Labor, at Washington, to obtain ad-
mittance of the Delapo family.
Within an hour after The Evening
Journal was "off the press" Saliva
tore Cantero, contractor, called Miss
Hart on the telephone and offered
/ Delapo steady work. Later three
other offers Of work reached Mis-,
Hart
Delapo accepted the Cantero of.
fer and yesterday morning went C
work. Cantero also gave Miss Hart
a letter certifying that he had EN-
/ ployed Delapo. This certificate
Miss Hart yesterday telephoned 70
| the immigrant officials at Gloucester.
She received a somewhat curt reply,
and then informed the officials she
intended taking up the question OF
the family's admittance to this coun-
I try with Secretary Davis. IN person.
There was an immediate change in
I the atmosphere. The Gloucester
/ officials announced they would IRE
open the Delapo case" and added
that there was no necessity of ap-
pealing to Washington"
AT o'clock last evening, Mrs.
Delapo and the three little Delapos-
who after ALL aren't so little. mas
much as they are IA. IL and 10 years
of age-arrived in Wilmington They
were met at the French street sta
tion by Angelo, husband and father
and escorted by him to the house al
413 Tatnan street. which he had
rented and fitted up for them.
To describe the JOY Of Angelo al
/ the reuniting Of his family would re.

killed the hopes of peace workers
who had looked for an agreement TO
grow out of a conference between
De Valera and the British leader.
The negotiations which Lloyd
George repudiated were begun by
Martin II. Glynn, former governor
Of New York, who said he had OBJ

to be transmitted to De Valera.
Meanwhile Irish extremists con-
tinued their offensive against peace
negotiations. Ambushes continued
in South Ireland and an attack was
made on crown forces in Belfast.

No RAG FOR
PRESBYTERIANS
Sensational Preaching no
Longer Favored by Lead
ing Churchmen
ASSEMBLY GETS
READY FOR WORK

WINONA LAKE. Ind, May IS.
Omitted Press. preaching OF the
gospel by sensational and spectac-
ular means is no longer favored by
the majority of Americas leading
churchmen.
Most representative ministers and
laymen frown upon what they now
call the "ragtime circus method
OF conversion.
These points we're brought out
most emphatically as the opinion OF
delegates to the Presbyterian Cen
eral Assembly who met as the COM
mite on evangelism here today.
This committee in endorsing con-
servative methods. not only repre-
sented the rank and file OF the L.
500. 900 members Of the Presbyterian
Church OF America but also the
views Of many other denominational
governing bodies with whom it CO.
operates and exchanges views.
The Rev. w II. Graham, OF New
York. secretary OF the assembly
committee stated that those who
follow band to church usually
leave when the band quits play
ing
I'VE have dispensed with the saw
dust trail and pied piper method al
together he said. Persons who
are converted in wholesale lots are
as apt to stick to their church mem
bership as those who accept the faith
after a quiet talk by some good
brother or sister"
Graham said new members are
obtained by personal work Of church
members among their neighbors.
Findings Of the committee will
be reported to the general assembly
when annual sessions are started to-
morrow. Meetings today were pre-
liminary to the convention.
William Jennings Bryan has finally
been elected to office. The common
er, who holds the record for un-
successful competition. was voted in
as commissioner to the assembly by
members Of his Nebraska church.
Furthermore, friends Of Bryan say
he is staying away from the meet
ings until Friday in order to avoid

IF the Poles do not withdraw now
though you can expect a great storm
with much boold spilled and terrific
destruction of property.
Il advised the Germans to remain
quiet, when was in temporary
charge Of the Allied Commission.
Now it is a question how long they
can be held back. The Germans are
not well armed but the general
smiled knowingly" probably they
can get arms in plenty.
I'm following straight line
here looking neither to right nor
left. We were here to see that JUS
tice and right were done when the
Poles suddenly broke in on us. 1t
was unwarranted."
The general stiffened when asked
his opinion Of the French course in
Silesia.
THAT is something 1 cannot talk
about" he stated.
The Poles today held a we'll de-
fined line running north and south,
with most of Silesia on the Polish
side. The Germans, however, con-
trolling the regions railways. ex-
erted great pressure through an
ironclad blockade on food stuffs.
Much suffering already has resulted
from this. Hot weather. just be-
ginning, and lack of milk was ex-
pected to result in great infant NOR
tality.
Germans in the Polish region
suffered with their enemies. but they
held firm.
mo food for the Poles II we die
with them" was the watchword.
British officers suggested that re-
fusal to move food trains was a
''frightful" method of repressing the
insurgents. They protested mildly
at what they call a renewal of
''schrecklicheit"
Yes" a German leader told the
United Press. "it is frightful. We
know what a food blockade is be-
cause we had 1t during the war.
But our own folks approve. We
have messages from everywhere in
the occupied territory saying For
Gods sake, don't send any food II
would only prolong Polish terror
ism. We'd rather die of starvation
than suffer the cruelty OF their rule,
I'VE are willing to send milk
trains for the sake Of babies but the
Allies say we must send in mixed
foods. We won't do that"
The Poles are countering the
threat Of starvation by declaring
they will punish the Germans on
their side by throwing a ring Of SOL
diers around such cities as Katto-
witz and Beuthen. The Polish
fighters are foraging but the produc.
tion of their districts is meagre and
