WILMINGTON FctlKS ARE CERTAINLY GOOD NATURED. This Is the. Opinion Expressed Yester. day hy Postmaster Green. Pdstma-ster H. McL. Green v states that his patrons are the best natured people in the world, and when he made that statement he had not lost sight of 'the fact that all Wilmington is in eluded in "his patronB." This state ment was made as the result of the manner in which the people responded to the appeal of Dr. C. W. Stiles and the board of health that persons seek ing to post packages, instead -of scrambling around the windows in dis order, "fall in line" and take their turn .thereby avoiding the possibility of persons infected with infl-uenza sneezing or coughing in another's face. The attention of Postmaster Green was called to the existing menace by Dr. Stiles, of the United States public health service, with the request for the single file order of business. The board of health had signs placed on the in terior of the building yesterday morn ing requesting the "public to carry out the suggestion, and notwithstanding, along late in' the afternoon the "pro cession" 'extended out on the steps to the sidewalk, everybody was in a good humor, Postmaster Green stated, and perfectly willing to putp with a few inconveniences in the effort" to mini mize the danger of spreading influenza, For the purpose of demonstrating what he and his faithful workers have to go through with during the pre holiday rush, Postmaster Green took a Morning, Star reporter through the "working department" of the office, even down in the basement where the parcel post packages are received, routed and dispatched. He has been able to add only. two men to his force for the rush, while the volume of bus iness has increased many fold. But notwithstanding, the service that is be ing given is entirely satisractory to the public. The floor of the main work room and the basement was literally covered yesterday afternoon with pack ages coming in and going eut of the office. PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. " D. R.

LITTLE ORPHANT WILYUM (With apologies to James Whitcomb Riley.) The Associated Press despatches tell us that the former Kaiser William and his eon, William, the crown prince, fled before the victorious allies and took refuge in Holland, where they are now interned on a small island in the North sea, off the Dutch coast. It is said that young- William amuses himself playing with the Dutch chil dren. It will be remembered that Gen eral Pershing is known as Black Jack John. Little orphant Wilyum has come to our ' house to stay, An' he fetched his daddy with him. to keep the Yanks away, An' shoo the British off the, track" and mind the Belgian king. An' fight the extradition that the al lies 'speck to bring. An" all us little chilluns, when his pappy's gone to bed, We huddles 'round the kitchen fire ih wonderment and dread, A-listening to the orful tales 'at Wil yum tells about An' Black Jack John'll get you, If you don't watch out! An' one time a little prince he didn't give a darn. An' when he went to cuttin' throats and sech like on the Marne, The Yankees made him bellow and the British made him bawl,' An' when the fight was over he was not a prince atall; An' they seeked him in St. Michael's wood, they seeked him up the Aisne, They seeked him through the Border land to Frankffrrt on the Main, An' all they ever found was where his foot-prints whirled about An' Black Jack John'll get you, If you don't watch out! An' oncet a little kaiserM allers shake ' his fist, ' An threaten every one to grind 'em into grist; An' oncet when all the people was happy-like an' gay, He knocked 'em and shocked 'em and shot their homes away; . An jest as he. raised his sword, and didii't give a dam, ' A great big . giant grabbed him, and his name was Uncle. Sam; An -he snatched his sword awuff'n- him and kicked his crown about An' Black Jack John'll get you, If you don't watch out! An little orphant Wilyum says, when the lights are low, An the rats begin to whimper and the ' north winds blow, An you hear the owlet screamand the - ea gulls cry, An' yer heart begins to thump as the H hants pass by; Yer'd ,beter mind yer 'conscience and several other things, 1 That oncet was meant f er peasants and never meant fer kings; For the common folks Is risin -' an there' ain't no kind uvvdoubt An' .Black Jack . .Tohnll aret vn.

Following publication . m a- Buffalo paper, reproduced in The Star, of the "mothering" of American soldiers and sailors in London by Mrs. Alan Nickols, Mrs. Lemassena of - Baliimore, who, It will be remembered, alieged that Mrs;. Nickols robbed her of some $30,000 years ago, has written Sheriff George C Jackson to know if the North Caro- ! lina law! isn't stout enough to go to! London after the woman. ! Mrs. Lemassena alleged that she al- i lowed Mrs. Nickols to handle large amounts for her and that while man- I aging her. affairs, she made away with i something like $30,000. Other charges I were held against Mrs. Nipkols here. ) but she went into a sanitarium in Rich mond, it being given out that she was insane. She subsequently disappeared. According to the publication mention ed, she is in London. Sheriff Jackson has turned the letter over to Solicitor E. T. Burton. BACK FROM CHICAGO HEALTH CONFERENCE (Continued From Pag Five.) streets and stores offer an unusually good opportunity of communicating the disease and he urges- that strictest precautions be -observed, suggesting those previously recommended since the anti-flu vaccine is yet in the ex perimental stage The boarM of health placed signs yesterday at all places of public as sembly, in business houses and in dustrial plants, and wherever persons congregate in large numbers, warning the public of the danger of spreading jnfluenza and suggesting how they may help prevent any trouble during the crowded holiday season. The signs in the postofflce, asking people to stand in line rather than in bunches, was followed with great co-operation and health officials again said that the public was only too willing to " help Lif suggestion was placed before them as to what to do. Nobody is alafmed about "flu" in Wl'lminsgton. All that has been said or done is purely of a "safety first" nature, to prevent any possible recurrence of the epidemic. DIED.
