vid Starr Jordan, of Leland Stanford
University, who has just returned
from several weeks tour of the far
East in the interest Of the World
Peace Foundation" today stated that
the Manchu dynasty, in China. Is
doomed.
There is little of the war spirit in
:, Japan, however" he said. "notwith-
: standing the fact that the Japanese
are spending millions on their army
and navy. This is being done not
with any view of trouble, but more to
keep in fashion, and to maintain her
standing with the other nations of the
world.
"In Japan there is less of the war
fever than can be found among other
nations. There is little of the spirit of
= war for wars sake. Like the Ameri-
cans, the Japanese are confining their
/ love of strife to baseball and football.
{. THE japanese realize the loss in
money and manhood which a single
war brings, and before they take up
, arms against a sister nation in the
future they will think twice."

GETS
GAS SERVICE
Commissioners Grant Fran
ChiSe to Wilmington Gas
Company to Lay Pipes
PRICE TO DECREASE
AS USE OF GAS GROWS

Commissioners of Elsmere last
night at a meeting granted to the Will
mington Gas Company the right to
lay their mains and services along
the streets, alleys, avenues and high
ways of Elsmere. The meeting was
attended by all the commissioners and
they lost no time in giving the Gas
Company such rights as they deemed
advisable. Some sixty-five customers
have signified their willingness to use
the company's service.
The commissioners also agreed to
install gas lamps along the streets
Of Elsmere as soon as the pipes are
laid by the Wilmington Gas Com
pany to the suburbs.
Elsmere consumers will get gas at
the rate of S1.15 a thousand feet net
at the outset, and the price will be
lowered as the consumption of gas by
Elsmere residents increases. The
Gas Company offered the following
proposition, which was accepted by
the Town Commissioners:
Price of $1.15 net a thousand feet
until the consumption reaches 6,000,-
600 cubic feet a year.
Price of $1.05 net per thousand feet
after the consumption reaches six
million feet year and until it reach
es ten million cubic feet a year.
Beyond ten million cubic feet a year
the net price shall be 95 cents a thou
sand feet, the same rate as is
charged in Wilmington at present.
This proposition was originally in
tended for both Elsmere and Richard
son Park, but Richardson Park never
has taken up the subject of having
the gas mains extended to that suburb
with officials of the Wilmington Gas
Company
Harold S. Schutt. manager of the
Gas Company, in an interview this
morning stated that all material for
the extension will be on the ground
within a few days and work will start
Immediately, and II is to be hoped that
gas will be turned on not later than
the Fourth Of July.
This improvement to Elsmere WILL
no doubt, benefit that section to such
an extent that more people will have
a desire 10 locate where modern i'm
| provements can be secured. The
commissioners expressed themselves
l as being fortunate in securing thii
service, and that It will mean mucl
to the residences Of their city.
\ Elsmere has shown a very pro
gressive spirit recently. Two year
i ago the suburb was chartered as
town, and in addition to opening thu
way for gas the town also is planning
to get a water service from Whining
ton. This progressive spirit is ex
pected to bring a boom at the pretty
suburb.
