By the Associated Press. WILMINGTON, Del, May 17.—Fully equipped for field duty Battery H, organized militia of Delaware, arrived at ihe New Castle County workhouse at Greenbank from New Castle early tonight to relieve city and count police, who for the last two days have been guarding Anna Lewis, a negress, who killed Mrs, Mary T. Davis, & police matron of this cit a week ago, after her arrest. The battery, numbering sixty-seven men and equipped with eight machine guns, was ordered out at noon by Gov. Denney. City officials asked for the soldiers when workhouse officers reported that they felt they would be unable to cope with a mob. The past two nights, hundreds of men have gathered on the roadways about the prison, discussing the kill- ing of the aged police matron. Fhe negress was arrested last Sun- day night on a charge of carrying a pistol. She heat the matron into un- consciousness and escaped. When caught the next day, dressed in male clothing, she said she did not mean to kill the matron, but only wanted to escape. She has been indicted for murder and will be arraigned this month. —— EDWARD T. THAW DEAD. PASADENA, Calif,, May 17.—Edward T. Thaw, sixty-one, a brother of Harry K. Thaw, died here today.

Not at First Interested “When I first heard about The oratorical contest,” said Ruth burn, “I was not intensely interested But I told my family about it." Her mother urged her to take part, because she felt that public speaking would cnlarge the experience of her | daughter. It was not until that evening, when they discussed the latest attack on the Constitution that had just been made by a public speaker, that Ruth Newburn was really aroused. “People ought not to be allowed to talk about the foundation of their country, the Constitution, in dis- paraging terms” was the way she reacted to the comments about the uselessness of the Constitution. Then she saw that by putting all her efforts into the contest to increase interest in and respect for the Con- stitution she could do her bit toward discouraging such attacks on the Constitution Ruth Newburn haunted libraries for several days.

Russell Lutz, teacher of history at Central, who was chairman of the committee on the oratorical contest at that school, said last night: “The fact that Miss Newburn won the oratorical contest was not a sur- prise to Central nor to her friends, both in and out of the school. Mis Newburn has put every ounce of her energy into the battle and she was fighting for Central. “Miss Newburn is onle of Central's best students in every semse of the word. There is no task which does not receive her hearty support.

To convince with facts and logic rather than to sway with sentiment seems to be the fair- est way, and Miss Newburn, a clegr, concise speaker, is an expoment of this style in oratory.” National Director Coming. Randolph Leigh, national director of the oratorical contest, will come from New York early this week to make preparations for the final meet. He is a member of the staff of the Los Angeles Times. Large newspapers of the country co-operating In the movement to in- crease respect for tHe Constitution, and which have piloted the contest, are, in addition to The Evening Star of this city, the following: New York World, Los Angeles Times, Chicago News,' Indianapolis News, Phila- delphia Bulletin, Pittsburgh Gazette- Times, Cincinnati Times-Star, Bir- mingham Age-Herald, Spokane Spokesman - Review, ' Montgomery Journal, St. Louis Globe-Democrat, Kansas City Star, St. Paul Dispatch and Mobile Register. More than two hundred smalier pub- lications participated in the work. For the purposes of the.national contest, the United States was divid- ed into seven great geographical Zones, centering in the cities pre- viously mentioned.

PHILADELPHIA, May 17. isme Howard, British ambas: |speaking tonight before the American | Academy of Political and Soctal | Science on factors in the mainte- :nance of world peace, said that *‘the lestablishment of peace on a perma- nent footing really depends more on mentality, on the attitude, on the heart of mankind generally with regard to the methods of dealing with international affairs than on ihose methods themselves.” ow, 1 trust that I am not going to be considered as throwing cold water on any plans or proposals for world peace that may be put forward tonight,” he said. “It seems to me,” “that this mentality, this attitude, this feeling of heart, will be regu- lated only by the two great primitive passions of love and fear Law Instead of War. The ambassador said that one way to end war would be for the nations, out of a real desire for peace spring- ing from the passion of love for hu- manity, to submit their differences to some process of law rather than to war. “So far as I can judge,” he said, after so short a sojourn in this coun- try, the principle of legal settlement of disputes which cannot be settled by diplomatic negotiations, a princi- ple for the maintenance of which the United States have always taken a leading part, is becominy: increasingly accepted. The majority of leaders of public opinion in America undoubt- edly prefer the process of law for setiling disputes to ordeal by battle. There may be divergences of opinion as to how this should be done, but the principle at any rate is very widely accepted. “I cannot, therefore, but feel that once this great country, which can perhaps do more than any other to promote world peace, is agreed on the principle, a practical solution will not be long in coming and that we may_ hope that with the strong help of the United States, another world war may be avoided. Gen. Bliss Favors Court. Acceptance of the world court * the first step toward international peace” was urged by Maj. Gen. Tas- ker H. Bliss, retired. A spirited discussion arose when Arthur _ Bullard, editor of Our World, New York, asserted that a previous _ speaker, _ Prof. Philip Marshall Brown of Princeton, “had turned & purely philosophical discus- sion into a campaign speech in sup- port of the Washington administra- tion.” Newburn he continued, Miners’ Strike Halted.

Aftear all efforts to and-shot-haul raflroad measure to the Army appropriation bill had tailed yesterday in the Senate, Sen- ator Gooding, Republican, Idaho, called the bill up on its merits, and had it made the unfinished business of the Senate tomorrow. The Army appropriation bill itself, carrying a total of $330,000,000, was passed after three unsuccessful at- tempts had been made to have the Senate declare it the policy of Con- £ress that the Interstate Commission should discontinue practice, except in emergencies, permitting rail carriers to charge tarift for freight on a long haul than on a short haul over the same line or traveling in the same direction.

Pershing said, to indicate to the nation at large just what would be re- quired in a war mobilization under the plans that have been devised since the war, to obviate some of the delays and confusion of 1917-1. Our Plans Not Secret. “Our plans are not secret, as the methods of organization and the success of the system require the co-operation of communities and the voluntary ac- tion of individuals,” he said. “We want the people to realize the expediency and wisdom, in fact the necessity of having some sort of foresight in this matter. “In the world war, after enormous ex- penditures, and serious loss of time, we eventually concentrated masses of un- trained individuals in a few centers, distant from home ties and associations, where they were segregated and trained with utmost difficulty. “Profiting by these experiences, a policy exists today which contemplates skeleton units partially trained in ad- vance, which can be concentrated locally when necessary.” Regulars and Guard. For the Regulars and National Guard, as first line troops, the state- ment continued, actual war prepara- tions would mean recruiting, to war strength and completion of training and equipment. The ability and fore- sight of officers to handle these questions will be observed during the proposed tests, but the bulk of a war army would come from the reserves, and for these units the tests will be “a trial of their knowl- edge of the duties which will auto- matically devolve upon them to r cruit, shelter, equip, supply, train and otherwise care for their respec- tive orzanizations.” “We hope by this defense test to impress upon the individual officer and soldier his particular functions if war comes,’ Gen. Pershing said. “We have never before undertaken such a step in instruction. When we went into the world war every- thing was confusion; nobody appre- ciated the task, and it is little won- der that there was so much lost motion before we really got under wa.

While conducted specifically as a service test, there is a very favorably opportunity for the plane to break ontinuous flight record of sea- which is eleven hours and | minutes | 2 is a recent product of the | bureau of aeronautics and is !‘nowr‘ as the three-in-one because it can perform the duties of bomber, long- distant scout anrd torpedo c: launcher with the eff Pney separate planes built for this work This type of plane was to have acted in co-operation with the Shenandoah on its proposed flight to the pola reions this summer, three to operate | from Alaska and another trio to be based at & zbergen for serv Bext Distance Plane. The C€-2 is the best thing in long- distance fiying the Navy has and in order to definitely determine just | “how long sehe will go" without a stop this flight was arranged. Com- manded by Licut. F. W. Wead of the bureau of acronautics and carrying Lieut. John Dale Price of the naval air station as assistant pilot, the “CS" will be “blown” off the Potomac River tomorrow morning about 9 o'clock and If every part of the ship functions as it is expected the pilots will not set it down on the water until after they have spent the night and part of the next day in the air. Eight hundred gallons of gasoline will load the ship 80 heavily that another plane shall have to as: in leaving the water. This accomplished by “blowing” it off or having it trail another seaplane trav- elling on the water at full speed, which will send back a blast of wind from the propellors and give the CS more resistance. In other words the forward plane would be manu- faoturing & stiff head wind for the weighted one in the rear. The pilots will fly the ship at watches of four hours on and four hours off, Food supplies for the con- templated long stay in the air will be carried and a “sleeping quarter” has been established in that part of the plane, which is usually oc- cupled by a third person and extend- ing into the rear of the fuselage. The plane will be powered with a 12-cylinder, 585 horsepower Wright motor. Tomorrow was selected for the date of test because of. the full moon_which will give the pilots a moonlight night. new a D.
