SEC: DENNY BOOSTS
LIBRARY CAMPAIGN
Accompanied by Senator du
Pont He Attended Luncheon
at Hotel du Pont Today.

The utilitarian form OF the monu-
ment which 1t is proposed 10 erect as
a memorial to the fallen heroes of the
World War was heartily approved of
and indorsed today by Secretary of the
Navy DENLY. who spoke at the cam
paign luncheon in the Hotel du Pont.
The Idea Of building library in the
campus of the University of Delaware
as the memorial, was described by Sec
retary DENLY as the highest type OF
commemoration fer the deeds of
America's Is soldiers in the greatest OF
wars.
Il saw the parade of the school
children today and l believe that the
sight of those thousands OF boys and
girls marching through the streets
should arouse the greatest OF interest
| in this campaign and instill the great
est liberality in the hearts OF the
people. The men who went overseas S
gave their all for US and we can
easily give a few dollars TO do honor
to their memory"
| In closing Mr.. DENLY declared that
! the nation must keep itself ready 10
defend its place among the nations OF
the world
Secretary DENLY at the conclusion
| Of his remarks made a cash contribu-
! ton TO the fund of $40, after examin-
! ing his ready cash and figuring how
much would be necessary to pay his
/ fare back to Washington.
United States Senator Coleman dII
Pont presented Mr.. DENLY TO the au-
! dierce. making a few remarks.
