DELAWARE CITY, May 20
While Companies l. and Of the
Coast Defenses at Fort Dupont and
Fort Mott are under orders to be
transferred to Fort Hancock, N. j.,

! lerymen had hoped the order
would be reclnded. Many OF the
| soldiers recently moved their fam
| lilies to this place and established
homes. Others have been married
since coming here and openly ex-
pressed themselves as preferring to
remain at Fort Dupont.
Plans are being made by the clti-
zens as a whole and the several
churches of the city to give the boys
a farewell. The removal of the SOL
ders will more or less affect the
congregations OF the churches. One
pastor expressed himself today as
regreting the proposed change very
much, as he and his membership
had formed many close ties with
the soldier boys across the canal.
A committee OF members OF the
churches, and fraternal and civic
organizations will cooperate In
showing their regret at the depar-
ture OF the artillerymen.
Next Wednesday a large detach-
ment OF the United States Engineer
ing Corps from Camp Dix, N. j.,
will arrive by motor trucks. The
Engineers Corps. about 700 in num-
Der, will make their permanent
headquarters at the three fortl1ca-
tions. Forts DUPONT. Delaware and

ment will be moved at this time. and

ToADs OF SOME USE IN
CURING CERTAIN PESTS

Toads have been reputed TO aid in
curbing the numbers of injurious in
sects and other similar pests. To as
certain the facts in the case the bio.
logical survey of the United States
Department of Agriculture has anal
yzed the contents of the stomachs of
SOP common toads, and reports that
while the findings regarding the
choice of food are of interest they
thus far fail to demonstrate that the
toads are of great economic impor-
tanee. Toads go constantly about
their own work of gaining liveli-
hood, and SO undoubtedly fill their
proper place In nature. They are
never very numerous in one locality,
however, and as they can not adopt
the methods of birds. and traverse
wide stretches Of land to aid In com,
batting abnormal local increases OF
crop and garden pests their influence
is not strongly felt. The inyestiga-
ton shows that a certain portion OF
