" GENERAL WOOD AGAIN TALKS INTERESTINGLY Tells Charleston People Site Offered by This City Sur passes Anything In His Entire Department. "Business in Wilmington within the n-xt two months, by early au tumn, will be humming in a manner roamed of by the most optimis itjC" is the opinion of one of the most prominent real estate men in' the city, wlio staled that he was basing his talk on things which he knew would happen and other things which would necessarily come to pass- as a re sult. This gentleman is regarded by business associates as thoroughly conservative and a statement to this effect coming from him is regarded in a high manner by those with whom lie is acquainted and with whom he has clone business. The shipbuilding industry is going to turn the trick in his opinion and the convalescent camp that is almost certain to be located near the city is going to help' out . in a won derful manner.- Wilmington, accord ing to many, principally the most sub stantial in on of the city, is preparing to boom in a manner that would shame the most auspicious mushroom city that has yet sprung into life and flourished from unusual conditions. Talk of additional shipyards is heard on every hand; there was a re port being; circulated yesterday after noon that the Geast Line was pre paring to lay. spur tracking to various site? that it is believed will be taken by either Northern concerns or the government in the early future. The presence of a stranger in the city yesterday with one of the city's most substantial business men gave rise to the rumor that the gentleman was here looking for a site but it later developed that this report was with out foundation and that the visitor was merely here looking after busi ness interests that he had held for a lone period. The cantonment proposition contin ues to be a live subject and is being discussed by many. The publicity that Wilmington got from- the visit of Editor Wade Harris, of the Charlotte Observer, was-priceless and will prob ably result in big things for the city; at least it will help Wilmington to secure what she is so justly entitled to and so very able to take care of. The following Charleston, S. C, dis patch ot the Macon, Ga., Telegraph concerning Wilmington's chances for a camp will be read-with interest. It gays: - JJ . "A great convalescent and base hos pital will be built by the government at Wilmington, N. according to present plans of the department. It is to rare for the wounded and the sick from the camps and cantonments in the States near the coast and for the wounded when they are returned from France. General Wood had just inspected a 7,000 acre tract near Wil mington, which he stated was the most ideally suited in his entire de partment." The above paragraph speaks for it self. General Wood, it would seem Jmeant business when he told the committee that waited on him here that he would recommend certain things and it is-gratifying to all to know that he continues to think of Wilmington and-talk of her wonderful advantages.

REUEF THROUGH PanatioiSi Reali That Teamwdrk WilFGet Best iiiltsf NAME COMMITTEE - FOR THIS WORK War Relief arid Defense Or ganizations; are Co-operatV j ing in a Splendid Man- ner--The Plam ' v 3; MMvmm At a recent meeting of the severalJ organizations supping war . relief it was agreed that all relief should be administered by I a committee of four composed of Archdeacon Thomas P. Noe, chairman of the Red Cross War Relief committee; Dr. James ; Sprunt, chairman of the Soldiers' and. Sailors' Business Aid committee, which covers almost identical ground, and W. ; A. McGirt, chairman of the Conservation and Local Relief committee, and J. G. McCormick, Esq., chairman of the County Council of Defense,; was sub sequently added to this committee to .give representative to the Council of Defense and keep it in , touch with air. the .community's iactivities. ' This comimttee of four is prepared to consider any problems of soldiers and sailors engaged in the war. which affects their business affairs or the needs of any dependents; and they desire -to render such aid as possible to the inen going to the front, or their families. After conference with the New Han over Council of Defense, J. G. Mc Cormick, chairman, it was agreed that the Red Cross Chantpr. thr Nati Special Aid. the Conservation Com-' mittee and the Soldiers' and Sailors" y Decause ne believes the American Business Aid committee would work!?eople are sensible enough to follow in the fullest possible co-ODeration avoiding aiy duplication of activities that might lead to confusion of pur pose and seeking to co-ordinate all the agencies and activities In the com munity; and to make this more effec- tive, it was further agreed that aHiinreaa of his narrative and explained these organizations, while workite!the minor details of the plans formu-'ride along the definite lines prescribed by their rules, would report regularly through the County Council of De fense, not only for permanent record but to make possible a more complete co-ordination of the many and splen did' organizations already doing such fine work in Wilmington and of any that shall hereafter be created, s "it is the desire of the1- organiza tions that there may be co-operation of any other agencies in the commun ity seeking to aid the government ai this time, when everything counts so much; and it is asked that no pub lic movements be started in Wilming ton without first having a conference with those who are in charge of these present activities. In order that there may be some clear understanding of our present agencies and their scope, it may be well to say just a word about the several mentioned above, prejudice to others. without American National Red Cross. The American National Red Cross stands first, in point of time, having been organized in 1881, under the treaty of Geneva of 1863, and subse: quently receiving charters from Con gress in 1893, 1900 and 1905, defining its powers and prescribing regulations for its government. , Its first duty is that of rendering aid to the army and navy in time of war; but in times of peace it has no less definite tasks. In time of war it is under control of the army and seeks to render aid to the sick and wounded in camp and on battlefield by personal service of its doctors and nurses and the supply of the necessary war material sup plies, such as are needed in the hospi tals and by the surgeons; and the chapters all over the country have been working with rare devotion to furnish the needed surgical and hos pital supplies; and the work of the Red Cross forms perhaps the most beautiful chapter in the history of warr representing as it does the heart of nations the embodiment of tender and loving service in His name. National Special Aid. The National Special Aid Society, formed Januaty, 1915, incorporated July, 1916, is. one of the 74 allied war relief organizations. Founded primar ily as a Preparedness and Patriotic Society, its aim "to mobilize the wo men for service to our country, and, as occasion arose, in the wider needs of humanity," when affairs came to a crisis, found its existence justified by its works; for through the agency o! chapters organized in various States, work of various kinds was already systematized and was at once broad ened and enlarged with a minimum of confusion. It is essentially a woman's society with an advisory board of men. The three lines of work are Patriotic, Re lief and Industrial Preparedness. The local chapter has organized the community by blocks, created a fund for its work by the Patriotic Penny, has stimulated conservation and is do ing an extensive work in preparing surgical dressing", under the auspices of the Surgical Dressings committee of New York, and is preforming many other valuable services. Conservation Committee. Little need be said about the work of the Committee on Conservation; for its labors and successes are . well 1 J t.. nrVmfn Known uere m - mc uuiumuun-j, n uci c setting a fine example, to the State in Increasing the food production and iia onnnorVfltfOTI nf all Wfi make.

She further suggests many other methods that will eliminate waste as regards the pear crop. The executive committee of the Food Commission has decided to ar range for demonstrations in the pre serving and pickling of pears, it was announced yesterday afternoon by Chairman W. A. McGirt and plans will bo laid at once looking toward this end. 1 The Kiefer pear crop of the counties above referred to will begin maturing during the middle of the coming month and the season will be of about a month's duration, perhaps a little longer. Mrs. Pretlow states that the Kiefer pear is best just be fore frost. Another suggestion of Mrs. Pret low's is that these pears be canned in No. 10, one gallon cans, and sold the government at reasonable prices for use of the enlisted- men, the demon stration agent declaring that they would be excellent for this purpose. Announcement will be made in the early future as r to the plans of the commission for taking care of the pear crop that will ' begin maturing at an early date. LOCATED IN BRAZIL.

The proposal was" sent' to Mr. D. A. Hous ton, . treasurer, in Columbia, S. c, wVioro' the;farm 'hatilr is lne.atpd. The offer was par . and accrued interest. The bonds bear 4 1-2 per cent, inter- est and are secured by mortgages on farms, the same being backed by the United States, government, of course. The award will very probably be made MondayVYt'ls understood that a number of proposals have been made and it is not unlikely .. that a higher bid has been made than that offered by the Wilmington institution. The fact that Wilmington has a progres sive bank that is willing to take the entire first issue of farm loan bonds for this district, comprising 'the States of North and South Carolina, Georgia and Florida, is worthy " of note. 1 DR.
