WANT MEN HERE TO
FIGHT FOR IRELAND

Men OF Irish extraction and SYM
pathies are being appealed TO en-
list in the army of the Irish Free
State. Recruiting of soldiers for the
Irish army is under the direction of
Captain william Condor, OF this city,
who was an officer in the Delaware
National Guard for a number of
years. The campaign here is a part
Of a national drive, Captain Condor
explains.
Thus far the work HIS progressed
here quietly. Those interested have
been interviewing prospects. and ac-
cording to the captain. they have
received a great deal of encourage
ment. The plan, he said. is to re-
cruit one or more companies in
Delaware. while the same thing is
being done in other states, and after
this has been done TO offer their
services TO the Free State (regular)
government in Ireland. for service
in the army required TO keep down
Instructions. Captain Condor, who
recently returned from a visit to Ire
land, where he studied the situation,
says he understands the available
military force in Ireland is not large
enough to meet all emergencies,
hence the proposition to send aid
from this country.
The movement here, Captain Con-
don says. is chiefly among former
military men.

CHILDREN TO
AID RED CROSS
Miss Samworth, Accepting
Chairmanship, Says Motto
Is Il Serve"
WILL WORK IN
STATE SCHOOLS

Miss Ellen Samworth, who has
done excellent organizing work
among the women OF her political
party, has agreed to accept the chair
manship OF the Junior Red Gross,
and will at once begin making plans
for another successful enrolment of
the school children OF Delaware in
this great charity. Miss Samworth
has distinct ideas on Red Cross. She
believes that It should not be Just
a matter of membership and a furry
every November when the roll call
period arrives, but that II should be
a case OF service throughout the
year.
" I serve IS our motto" said Miss
samworth. in discussing her ideas.
'and there is nothing that means
more than service to ones fellow
creatures. During the past fall I
have had occasion to visit many
places throughout the lower end OF
the state, and ] was gratified to learn
how highly the school instructors
held the Junior Red Cross. / said
TO one man. you don't think much
of the Red Cross, do you?' His re-
ply was quick. oh yes we do, we
couldn't do without It.
with the knowledge that lower
Delaware likes the charity and Is
willing to help. is one OF the big
reasons why ! consented to assume
the craftsmanship, particularly when
learned OF the splendid success
which Mrs. Thomas w. Wilson, who
has been directing the Junior Red
Cross has been making of the cam
paigns in the past.
What l hope to do Is to make
the Junior Red Cross a part OF the
regular school work in connection
with the study of civics, geography
and history. We don't study about
Brazil simply to learn the height of
the trees, but that the rubber which
it produces Is collected by human
beings. IL is this humanizing pro-
cess in which I think the Red Cross
work will At in nicely

the State Teachers Association tol
have a speaker address them at their

be accomplished by instituting such
a plan In the three studies mem
toned, and II the request is granted,
then those instructors. who have not
coupled Red Cross with the posi-
billties OF instructing the young in
it's value through regular lessons,
will have an opportunity OF learning
about II at the State Teachers meet

ready and willing to serve the Red

the public and private schools OF the
city will learn of Fire Prevention
Week through lessons" and ad-
dresses OF their instructors and
through essays they may write on
the value of the week, what good II
does. why needed, etc.
Ths program arranged for the
schools has been outlined by the
members of the Rotary Club in con-
function with the educational COM
mittee OF the Delaware Safety Coun-
ell and the plans made have been
in6Orsed by David A. Ward, super
intendent of schools.
Each of the school days in the
week teachers will discuss with
their classes the methods of five pre-
ventfon and will be aided in their
discussions by mighty interesting
pamphlet Safeguarding the Home
Against Fire" In order that this in
struction may be as thorough and
comprehensive as possible, there have
been six subjects selected one for
each OF the five days next week and
one for Monday, October 8. the clos
ing day of the campaign.
On. Monday, October 2. the subject
will be. "Our Country's Fire Loss.

In presenting the lessons the in
structors will endeavor TO bringf
home the essential points in each
lesson in ways that will impress the
prevention methods upon the stu
dents. The teachers are at liberty
to diverge from the lesson as a text |
into ways which may further the
object of Fire Prevention Week.
One OF the things that has been /
most gratifying to the Rotary Club
and to Fire Chief Lutz
chairman Of the Fire Prevention
Week Committee has been the hearty
manner with which the teachers and
principals of schools have entered
nto the spirit OF the week and have
made plans to make II not only in
