That increased vigilance on the part of of ficials in charge of the enforcement of the food and drugs act is required by conditions brought about by the European war to prevent shipment into the United States of adulterated and misbranded foods and drugs is I shown by the report of the Chief of the bureau of chemistry, just pubhsh Many firms and corporations in the .

Since Saturday morning, the day actually celebrated as Christ mas eve, ther has been only ten ar rests made and of these only three were "pulled", for having too much boozs aboard. The only semblance or real disorder occurred this morning, one at 4 a. m. near Seventh and Church streets and sohrtly after 8 o'clock at Eleventh and Orange streets, when negroes, armed with shot guns, emptied loads of shot into several negroes standing nearby. In neither case 4 were the police able to ascertain the causey of the shooting, other than there had been words between the holders of the gun and other negroes. John Barnes, colored, was the only one to be much peppered in the fracus at Eleventh and Orange streets. lie received a quantity of No. G shot in his face and went to -the James Walk er Memorial Hospital for repairs. When the police arrived on the scene Barnes refused to divulge the name of the negro doing the shooting, say ing that he did not do it on purpose. Robert Cowan and Son Evans, color ed, in a crowd of negroes at Seventh and Church streets, received a num ber of shot in the face and neck from a shot gun held by Happy Larkins. The police are looking for Larkins. The police attribute much of the quietness to the fact that large quan tities of liquor ordered from Baltimore and Jacksonville lias not arrived in Wilmington owing to the railroad con gestion. Several carloads of "Christ mas" packages are due to arrive to morrow or next day. This means that the celebration will be held be tween then and New Year's Day. Of the ten persons arrested since Saturday morning one or two were taken into custody for violating the speed and traffic ordinance, while two or three will be arraigned before the Recorder tomorrow for firing pistols within the. city limits. In each case where some one was arrested for dis orderly conduct the prime cause was John Barleycorn. 13 It is a commonplace that Christmas comesAvhen you least expect it. The moral would seem to be that if the years are so fleeting, one i' can ill afford to miss the universal opportunity fot sentiment which Christmas; affords. We wish first? of all to reiterate our appreciation of " your patronage and , to express the hope that vVe have deserved it. We wish also to extend to you , the season's greetings, riot in the per-r functory spirit of custom, as between a . hdnk ahd 'its clients, hut ih the genuine spirit of cordiality; which happily- exists between The Wilming ton Sayings and Trust Company and its friends; We trust that the passing year has come fully up to your expectations and that the com ing year may exceed them. And we wish you, the happiest Christmas you ever had! ' OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS OF The Wilmington Savings & Trust Company ""Tl"f llli-T Mrs. W. G.

THEATRE THE "BlfcTH OF A NATION" "We will appeal to the Great Heart", says Elsie Stoneman to Mrs. Cameron in D. W. Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation," playing a limited return en gagement at the Academy, tonight and tomorrow, matinee and night, and the mother's appeal to Abraham Lincoln for the life of her boy condemned by a military court to be shot is one of the most touching scenes of the en tire drama. No epithet could better express the kindly nature of Lincoln better than "the great heart," ana no scene could better illustrate the workings of his soul than the one shown in "Tlus Birth of a Nation." In one of the colleges at Oxford, Eng land, is hung the fac-smile of a letter written by President Lincoln to a sor- j rowing mother, which Oxford regards i model of touching simplicity. Here Is 1 the letter, v ritten from the Executive i Mansion, No', ember ,21, 1864, and ad ! dressed to a Mrs. Bixby, Boston, Mass. "Dear Madam: I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjustant General of Massachusetts, that you are the mother Of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any word of mine, which should attempt to beguild you from the grief of a loss so over whelming. But I cannot refrain from ! tendering you the consolation that may J be found In the thanks bf the Repnb-. 'lie they died to save, I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the an guish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of freedom. Yours very sincerely and re spectfully, A Lincoln." The niatine e prices run from 50 cents to $1. Tlvi night prices range from r.O cents to $1.50. Tickets are now selling at Elv ington's Pharmacy.
