Druse Tribeslnen Ask
Peace Negotiations

Beirut, Syria, Feb. 4.--LR-Thc
Druse tribesmen, who have been
fighting against French rule, have
asked for the opening Of direct peace
negotiations, the semi-Official Havas
Agency is informed.
The request was contained in a
letter addressed to the French high
commissioner, Henry De Jouvcnal, by
FL nAtrash Pasha, in the name of the
Druse nation.
In the name of the Druse nation,
N. Dejouvena has replied that the
Druses first must lay down their
arms.
The Druse letter said in part:
1.-THE disputed points cannot be set
tied by proclamation and unofficial
correspondence. 1t is necessary to
follow some other method, such as the
nomination Of delegates representing
the desires Of all parties"
In his reply the high commi ssioner
said:
Must Lay Down Arms
1.-THE Druscs must first cease hos
Utilities and then q constitution will
be prepared by agreement Of qualified
authorities.
'AAM that France asks of tho
Druscs, Syrians, Libanians and Alou-
tics is t6 guarantee together COM
mon exterior frontier and for inter-
nal disputes to avoid fighting, and
seek the arbitration of France, whose
aims are prosperity, peace and JUS
ticc. The Drusc chiefs now have only
to lay down their arms"

SEAL CAPTURED IN DELAWARE
Rarity Discovered Swimming in Shall
low Water Off Cedar Beach

| One of the rarest finds ever made
along the Delaware Bay shore was
caught off Cedar Beach Friday morn
ing by four fishermen. The acquisi-
tion is a genuine American seal of
beautiful color and marking. The
seal was captured by James Peterson,
Milton Bunting, Frederick Warren and
Paul Harrington, and as far as is
known is the first seal ever to be cap
tured in Delaware Bay waters. The
seal was purchased by Thadeus Wind
sor Of Milford, proprietor Of the New
Windsor Hotel there, who is a collec-
tor Of wild animals. Mr.. Windsor
was compelled to pay large sum for
it, but is quite proud Of his new pet.
The seal is a light brown color with
dark brown spots on the back and
side, with the shade running lighter
underneath. It is full grown, being
about 5 feet in length and weighs ap-
proximately 125 pounds. The seal is
vicious and snaps at anyone coming
near it.
While eating breakfast in his home
at the beach James Peterson, a fish
erman, happened to look out on the
bay and says he saw the strangest
sight of his life. For time he could
not believe his eyes, for there swim
ming off Cedar Beach, miles east of
Milford, was the seal. 1t was about
200 yards off shore in shallow water.
Mr.. Peterson ran out of the house and
shouted for assistance, and three other
fishermen with him ran into the bay,
not even stopping to remove shoes or
any Of their clothing.
The quartette managed to get be-
tween the seal and deep water and
surrounding it drove it upon the mud
fats. A rope was secured and finally,
after a battle, fastened around its
body. The seal was then hauled on
shore, placed in a barrel and taken to
Milford, where Mr.. Windsor purchas-
ed it as soon as he saw it.
The seal is now in a cage in the
Windsor Zoo and Mr.. Windsor is hav-
ing a tank constructed upon a truck
in which he expects to keep the seal.
He expects to take the truck to fairs
and carnivals and place the seal on
exhibition. He has also written to
authorities upon the proper care and
feeding of the seal.

SUN BENEFITS SHORE CROPS
Farmers Welcome Change From the
Preceding Long Wet Period

Several days of sunshine, following
the preceding wet week, were welcom-
ed BY Delaware and Maryland farm
ers and had good effect upon crops,
states the Federal and Maryland
Weather Service report for the weeks
ending September IA.
The temperature averaged nearly
normal, but there were considerable
variations, with one or two unusually
warm afternoons and two of these un-
usually cool mornings. Light frost
was reported in Garrett County on
the 11th. There was only one day
with rain this week, but in some plac-
es the ground was still too wet to
plow. Preparations for sowing wheat
are somewhat behind and, owing to
wet ground. All maturing crops, but
especially tomatoes, sweet potatoes
and tobacco are needing good spell
Of fair, sunny weather. Cutting OF
corn is becoming general on the East
ern Shore and is beginning in the cen
tral counties. Reports indicate good
to excellent yields except in few
small areas. In Garrett county, Nd,
corn is unusually late. Late potatoes
continue to grow and bloom, but it is
thought the wet weather has not been
favorable for them. The heavy grow
tn of sweet potato vines causes some
uneasiness in regard to the outcome;
the crop generally is thought to be
fairly good; a few have been dug in
southeastern counties. Tomatoes are
still suffering from the wet weather
Of recent weeks and the crop is most
ly poor to fair. Marketing and can
ming are we'll under way. Pastures
continue good. Soybeans are good
crop and are being cut for hay. Apple
harvest continues and an unusually
large crop is being gathered.
