WELCOMING THE FLEET.

WITH all the pomp and ceremony BETTING
the occasion, the great American fleet was
welcomed home yesterday by the highest digni-
ties of the nation and thousands Of patriotic citi
zens. The American feet without serious mis-
hap has completed the most remarkable cruise
ever undertaken by the warships Of any nation.
The warships have visited many Of the most inn
portant ports of the world and have extended
the fame and name Of America Other nations
have been impressed with our prowess and con-
vinced Of the fact that America holds today a
place among the nations OF the earth
The cruise of the fleet is something of which
Americans can Justly feel proud. The voyage
has demonstrated the efficiency of our naval
men and our battleships and that in the event of
war the American ships would be able to up
hold the prestige and honor of the country.
These vessels, their noble commanders and their
gallent men have by this trip already won for
themselves place in the hall of American naval
fame and their cruise will go down as one of
the most remarkable events in the naval his
tory of our country.
One striking circumstance of the great accom-
plishment is that the fleet sailed on mission OF
peace and not of war 1t did not go forth to
battle. There were many misgivings when the
fleet started upon its world wide voyage that
other nations would interpret the movements of
the war ships as a hostile demonstration on the
part OF the United States-that they would
think this country was hunting for trouble" "
But happily no such Interpretation was put upon
the voyage We did not enter the foreign
points with a staggering air of conquest and the
people of those nations did not so regard the
visit of the fleet. On the other hand in every
port that the fleet touched there were abundant
evidences of friendship and good will. And every
mile sailed by these ships made for the world
peace and not for war of nations
The demonstration made the return OF the
fleet was fitting tribute of appreciation shown
patriotic Americans for the great work of the
naval officers and men, and the welcome home
of the feet yesterday was echoed in the hearts
Of the people in every city and hamlet through
out this broad country of ours.

THE DISASTER AT DELMAR.

He prevention of accidents on railroads
such as that of yesterday seems to beyond
human endeavor Calamities like that at Del
mar yesterday are few and far between. The
Delaware Railroad Company is unusually free
from such disasters But humanity is fallible.
Humanity errs and even the utmost precautions
TO prevent the loss Of human life arc often of no
avail. In twinkling a disaster will occur, lives
are snuffed out and great damage is done. The
railroad company will, Of course, endeavor to
place the responsibility for the wreck, but that
will not relieve the bereavement that it has
caused.
The employees of the Pennsylvania Railroad
Company are careful men, The company has
reached an efficiency in its service about as high
as has been attained by any other railroad SER
vice in this country but it cannot obviate acci-
dents.
The wreck Of yesterday, however, demon
started that the heavy cars are the safer. The
passengers in the Pullman and heavy built
coaches escaped uninjured.
TO the relatives and friends of those who lost
their lives heartfelt sympathy will be extended.
Theirs is heavyloss. The Legislature very ap-
propriately passed resolution of coincidence.
The accident was one of the worst that has
happened in Delaware for many years. II is de-
plorable in every way and our only consolation
is that such disasters are infrequent in Della
ware.

children of New York City is commented upon
by the Commissioner of Health of that city who
declares that out of the 275,ooo children in New
York over seventy per cent have been found
physically deficient He thinks this is due to
the exacting examinations and hard study re-
Quired of the school children who are driven in
their studies beyond their physical endurance.
In Nl training of the young it should be remem-
bered that sound body is essential to a sound
mind AS result of the system of education
practiced in New York, the commissioner Of
health believes that there is a breaking down
OF the physical system without even producing
mental compensation, as the children learn but
a smattering of many things A system that
oveftaxes the physical strength of seventy per
cent. Of the school children is certainly not ans
wering the requirements of sound training.
