It is said that an option has been
obtained on large tract of land, on
the Delaware river, east of Eddystone
and adjoining the plant of the Baldwin
locomotive works, and that the land
has been purchased by agents repre-
senting the Krupp gun works of Ger
many. Reports that the Krupp cor
poration intended to build an Amen-
can plant have been circulated at
various times, but each time a denial
has ben made from official sources.
The tract, said to be under considera-
ton for the site of a great gun and
armor making establishment, extends
along the Delaware river from Darby
creek, which enters the Delaware at
Essington to the month of Crum creek
Much of the tract is marsh. Another
tract which rumor connects with the
Krupp works is in Chester, west Of
Ridley river and close to the textile
plant of the Eddystone Manufacture
Ing company.
Sharp measures of retaliation aginst
the United States for it's action in
the Panama canal tolls question are
urged by Count Reventlow, the noted
authority on international and naval
law. "The Hay-Pauncefote treaty was
signed by only two powers" he says,
but economically it affects the ship
ping interests of all nations. Great
Britain may therefore be regarded as
In certain sense holding the man

seeking simply and solely to satisfy its
greedy by unfairly grasping an advan.
tase over other maritime powers. On
this point there is solidarity Of inter
ests among the nations. It is for them
to consider whether they shall not
institute reprisals which will convince
the United States that it's policy Of
unequal treatment Of the maritime in
terests is bad business. For Ger
many, this matter affords new and
striking proof of the fact that in its
dealings with the United States It
must maintain as sharp measures as
may be necessary. Bismarck's prin-
ciple was to never seek political ad-
vantages by conceding economic IA
vors. 1t is not only desirable, but
necessary, that the German govern
ment leave the United States In NJ

to enforce these principles In all

Star Herald has ever enjoyed, in a
business way. More cash was re.
celved on subscription than in any
previous year and, Notwithstanding
the fact that this paper already had
an enormous subscription list for a
local country newspaper, we added
nearly three hundred new names
during the year. The patronage we
received from the business and pro-
fessional men of Pocahontas and
other towns of the county was very
liberal, for all of which we wish to
express our sincere thanks. We did
the best we could to serve you well
: and we believe you appreciated our
efforts.
Now, during the year 1912, we
are going to try to do better still.
We are entering upon the new year
with the brightest prospects we have
ever had-the biggest subscription
list, and nearly every one in good
standing, so far as the pay roll is
concerned. Prospects in other lines
of our work were never better aud
with the continued cooperation and
support of the good people of Ran
dolph county we feel sure that we
shall be able 20 accomplish more for
you and yours this coming year than
ever before. We ask the hearty
support of all. II you feel any in

and your children to help us boost.
