White And Negro Soldiers
Fight Over Ball
Game.
DECISIONS RESENTED
Blow With Ball Bat Fatal to Member
OF Quartermaster Corps;
Slayer Escapes.

c. E. Woodbridge, soldier in the
Quartermaster Corps at Camp Knox,
died at 8 O'Clock yesterday morning,
and Thomas Greene, negro, Field Ar
tillery School at Camp Knox, is not
expected to live as results of a free
for-all fight at the camp Tuesday aft
ernoon, in which eighteen soldiers
were injured and more than fifty 9TH
ers took part. Three other soldiers
who were seriously injured are in the
base hospital, while fifteen more have
been given medical treatment for
minor injuries.
Woodbridge died from a blow over
the head with baseball bat. Greene
is suffering from knife wounds re-
ceived in the fray. The slayer of
Woodbridge is said to be known to
authorities and is still at large, altho
more than fifty arrests have been
made.
Fight Over Umpire's Decision.
The fight is said to have started
over an umpire's decision in a base
ball game between the Quartermaster
Corps and the Field Artillery School,
which is a negro detachment. The
decision resulted in an argument be-
tween the two teams, and one of the
negroes becoming enraged attempted
to take a pistol from member of
the military police who was trying to
stop the argument. Spectators claim
someone hit the negro over the head
with baseball bat, after which the
affair grew into free-for-all fight,
many of the spectators jumping
down from the grandstand and TAX
ing part. Authorities claim there
was no shooting, but ball bats, knives
and clubs are said to have been
welded freely as bricks and rocks
were brought into play.
Many women and children were
among the 500 spectators who were
watching the game when the fight
started.
Will BE given Military Funeral.
Authorities at Camp Knox refused
to give any information on the fight
when questioned Tuesday night, and
it was not until the death of Woold-
ridge that the full details were learn
ed.
Woodbridge, who's home was in
Chicago, will be given a full military
funeral at Camp Knox, this after
noon, after which the body will be
sent to Chicago for burial. A sister
of the dead man is expected to arrive
from Chicago this morning to take
charge of the body.
Army authorities are investigating
the case as all of the participants
were soldiers, and every one known
to have taken part in it is being plac-
ed under arrest. Search is being
made for the negro, who is said to
have dealt the blow that resulted in
the death of Woodbridge. Up to a
late hour this morning he had not
been apprehended. Authorities claim
to know the name of the missing
man, and stated that, when caught,
he will be charged with murder.
They refused to give any other infor-
nation concerning him.

No. Farm of 1T acres between
Clayton and Smyrna, known recently
as the Cantwell farm; extra good
house and building with silo. This
would make a fine dairy place, as a
stream of water runs through the CEN

General financial conditions as re-

the country at large furnished the
topic for discussion at the regular
quarterly meeting of the officers and
directors of the Sussex Trust Com
pany, held at Rehoboth last week in
the Belhaven Hotel. DIR. William p.
Orr, Lewes, presided, and the meeting
was marked by optimistic expressions
of the future. The prevailing opin-
ion was that depressed business con-
ditions have reached the level of a
downward trend and from now on a
decided improvement in business may
be looked for, not only in Delaware
but throughout the country. The
adoption of an official seal to be used
in the future as the insignia of the
Sussex Trust Company was one Of
the important acts of the meeting
The seal adopted is that of the coat

The triumph of mans mind over

1t is only necessary, for instance,
20 watch the crowds going to work

To Francis Bacon, a Benjamin

Whether n machine is good or bad,

comparable to the creation of the
whole coal mining industry Of today.
And to produce alcohol we must first
have available suitable raw material.
1t is quite out of the question to make
large quantities of fuei alcohol from
food materials, such as grain and po-
tatoes. Possibly wood may be the flu
ture source Of alcohol, and reforesta-
ton of waste areas the means of sup
plying the wood.
Lastly, 1t is probable that necessity
will be the mother Of invention In
methods of utilizing fuels. Present en-
gines and devices for carburetion will
be modified In such way that where
we now drive car 10 to 20 miles on a
gallon of gasoline, we shall later be
satisfied only with 20 to 40 miles. The
chemist will be called upon to study
what happens within the engine cylin-
ders and to find means of producing
more salutary results.
Let us not allow the momentary
oversupply of gasoline to blind US to
the real situation. The co-operation
of scientists. commercial interests, pub
lie and government is needed for the
successful solution of the problem.

Motor Fuel is
Real Problem

a decline In the domestic production
Of petroleum.
On the other hand, the use Of auto
mobiles. tractors, trucks and gasoline
engines is becoming more general. To-
day the total number of registered
motor vehicles Is over nine millions,
al almost unbelievable increase In the
short period Of 20 years. What is
more. the number is still growing. and
will probably exceed 100000 within
a few years.
Where are we to get the fuel to run
this vast number of cars?
The quality Of market gasoline will
not change greatly In the next few
years. at least not until the automo-
tive engineers perfect devices that will
handle heavier and less volatile gaso-
line satisfactorily.
In spite of the fact that for several
years the United States has produced
two-thirds of the worlds oil, we have
recently been dependent upon foreign
sources Of supply of crude oil. Eighty
per cent Of the worlds oil is consumed
in this country. In 1920 our imports
were 11O.O0O.OO0 barrels, or % per cent
of our domestic production. This oil
came largely from Mexico. AS the
years pass, the United States will be-
come more and more dependent upon
imports Of petroleum. This will mean
higher prices and therefore necessitate
more efficient utilization once the oil
is in this country.
Other Sources Of Fuel.
What other possible sources of fuel
are there? Much has been heard of
shale oil and of alcohol. Neither of
these commodities. will be important
as motor fuels until many far-reachinc
developments have taken place. The
development of shale oil industry on
scale sufficient to furnish large guam
titles of motor fuel is an undertaking

Oberammergau Committee Plans

Oberammergau, Baveria--- Thirty
performances Of the Passion Play have
been scheduled for 1922 by the COM
mittee of twenty-one which is direct
ing the spectacle, but this number Will
be increased If the attendance de-
mands, as was the case both in 1900
and 1910.
1t will require an outlay of 1,50O,OU0
marks to stage the Oberammergap
play and the villagers are extremely
anxious about the German political
situation lest conditions be such. that
foreigners will not attend.
The 800 burghers, who constitute the
descendants of the original peasants
who made the vow to produce the play
decennially, personally assume the re-
sponsibility for this expenditure, and
the failure to attract sufficient visitors
to meet the cost would result In the
bankruptcy of practically the entire

TRAVELLING WOMAN.

tn HE travelling man has been an i'm
i portant member of our CONNER
cial life these many years, but the
travelling woman is newer. How
ever, she has come, and she Is max
ing good. The old notion that the
work was too hard for her Is rapidly
dying away. Today travelling Is not
hard. A woman is no longer thought
queer when she travels alone.
If you look forward to taking up
this sort Of work you need to ask
yourself if you are qualified for the
work.
~ You ought to be a good mixer and
capable of taking care of yourself.
You ought 10 have charm, the power
of interesting people, and be an easy
talker. You must make yourself thor
Qughly familiar with the line of goods
you are 10 sell. Never try to sell some
thing In which you do not believe. 1t
can't be done.
You should begin by taking a course
In some good school in craftsmanship,
with special work In the line you
wish to follow, and you should fol-
low this by WORKING in store or
wholesale house. Make it clear that
you wish t9-tt yourself to travel, and
do not stayDwlth any firm that is not
willing to give you n chance to do
this.
Once launched, 1t will depend on
yourself as to how far you will go.
But If you are real commercial tray
eler you will get a lot of fun out of
the life, plenty Of experience, and you
stand to make o lot Of money.

PASSION PLAY
TO BE REVIVED

village, as the Oberammergau folk
have slight resources.
Most Of the burghers are wood
carvers, potters, painters, sculptors.
farmers, merchants and small shop
keepers. Only the descendants of the
villagers who were saved from the
plague In 1888 take part in the Passion
Play and assume responsibility for Its
production.
Next October will be fateful month
for then the names OF the villagers
who are to have the leading roles in
the spectacle will be announced.
To be selected to enact the role of
Jesus Christ or one of the apostles Is
far greater honor to an Oberammer-
gau man than election to the Presi-
dency of Germany or any other office
within the gift of the entire German
people.
And any woman Of Oberammergau
would far rather be chosen to play
the role of Mary or Martha or Mary
Magdalene than to be In the position
Of Frau Ebert as mistress of the Presi-
dents palace in Berlin.
Many Of the actors In the Passion
Play next year will doubtless be the
same as those in the cast when the
play was last produced in 1910. Anton
Lang, who enacted the role Of Jesus
Christ In 1900 and 1910, will probably
be chosen for the part again, as he Is
still young enough TO undertake the
arduous task and looks the part so well
that younger aspirants are not likely
to displace him.
Candidates for MARY"
Ottilie Twink, who played the role OF
Mary in 1910, has married since. that
time. No married woman can play
role. Consequently all the young
women of Oberammergau with ability
and experience as actresses are eagerly
trying to qualify for the highly impor-
tant part Paula Rendl, daughter Of
Peter Rendl the sculptor. who was Jo-
seph Of Arimathea in the play of 1910
and enacted the role of st. John
twenty-one years ago. is one of the
most promising candidates for the role
Of Mary. Fraulein Redl has shown
great ability In minor religious plays,
which are produced constantly by the
Oberammergau folk as means of
training actors for the Passion Play.
Marie Mayr, who played the role Of
Mary Magdalene In the 1910 produc-
ton. also has married and Is living in
Chicago. Marie Schmld. who was the
Veronica in the last production, also
has married.
Eighty-twO Of the Oberammergau
men died during the war. and many Of
the older actors OF the last production
viii be disqualified by age for i'm
portant roles Consequently there are
scores of places In the cast to which
young men with ability as actors may
aspire. They have begun to let hair
grow. Wigs and makeup are not per-
mitted by the directors of the Passion
Play.
Practically all the older men who
had important parts In the last pro-
duction have never cut their hair.
Many of them have retained their long
boards and pride themselves on their
resemblance TO the biblical characters
they have depicted.

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"hURRAH!"

THROUGH apparently of Anglo
l. Saxon origin because 1t is
an exclamation used principally
by English-speaking people,
"Hurrah |" Is of Teutonic an
cestry, being derived from the
word hurr, also the basis of the
English verb hurry" 1t is, In
fact, only an application Of
this German word, which made
its first appearance In English
in the form of "Hurray"-a pro-
nunciation which is probably
more popular today than the use
of the broad "a" indicative of
the "ah" sound.
Examination of the marching
songs and martial literature of
Germany at the time of the
Napoleonic wars shows that
"Hurrah u was frequently used
by the Prussian soldiery at that
time and even began to seep
into the French language In the
form Of hourra. But the resi-
dents Of the other side of the
Rhine preferred to cling to their
"Vivep an ejaculation which is
interviewer with French history
for centuries past. The Ger
mans also soon abandoned the
exclamation In favor Of "Hochw
but the English took 1t up and
English-speaking people have
found in 1t an extremely salts
factory means Of expressing
their enthusiasm and approval.

AT present petroleum is being pro-
duced faster than 1t Is used, and stocks
of gasoline are increasing. Crude oil
produced In Oklahoma has dropped in
price from $3.50 20 $1.00 per barrel,
and the price of gasoline has been low
cred several cents per gallon. But
one should not be misled by the pres
ent situation. which is only a part of
the business cycle through which we
are passing 1t is a popularity of the
oil-produciny business that the drilling
OF new wells reaches maximum at
the crest, or even after the crest, or
the wave of prosperity. The result is
an overproduction of crude oil in the
time of depression. Prices drop, prof
Its vanish, and new drilling stops. But
within year or two the pendulum
swings the other way, and again there
Is scarcity Of Oil due to the inter-
rupuon of drilling in the time of de-
preston. This cycle of events would

Real Fuel Problem.
The real motor fuel problem Is not
concerned with the swings of the busi-
ness pendulum, although the present
abundance of fuel is pointed to by SUI
perficial critics as showing how wrong
have been the predictions of the scien-
lists that have warned us of future
shortage.
The problem arises in part through
the fact that the underground reserve
of petroleum is limited. At present
the unmined reserve Of the United
States is only about 5,S00,0OO,0O0 bar
rels. Were this oil to be extracted
from the ground at a rate equal to that
Of the year 1920, feat that is quite
out of the question from a practical
standpoint, the reserve would only last
Ii years. 1t Is thus evident, however,
that after a few years we must expect

But the funny thing is that
when the trunks are finally
