Nearly 1900 Americans Reached
London Last Night From
Continent.

LONDON, September A. 2:20 am
Havre is badly overcrowded with refu-
gees and tourists. A thousand Ameri-
cans arrived Wednesday from Paris.
The party included 400 Americans from
Switzerland, most of whom are leav-
ing on the steamer La Tourratne.
There is no room in any of the local
hotels, and even the small cafes are
using their dining rooms and even the
floors of the barrooms to .accommo-
date refugees. Hundreds Of persons
are arriving at Havre from Paris by
boat. for which trip the steamship
companies are charging $50.
Nearly 1000 refugees from Ostend
and Dieppe reached London last last
night. They included Miss Marian
Lowell Mr. and Mrs. s. L. Goldenberg
and A. c. Sondeine of New York: E..
V. Merrill and Miss Merrill Of Mime
sofa, Mrs. William Ambory and Miss
Ambory and Miss Sedgwick of Boston.
The Goldenbergs have devoted their
purposes under the charge of the Red
Cross

Mr.. and Mrs. Morgan Bradford Of
Washington arrived in London yester-
day from Paris by way of Havre. MI.
Bradford said the situation in France,
so far as tourists were concerned. was
very bad: the closing OF Dieppe and
Boulogne and the interruption of the
railway service for military purposes
made travel most uncertain. The conges-
ton Of traffic at Havre was very marked
and the boats for Southampton were
greatly overcrowded. ---t
Thousands of Americans are still in
France and it was impossible for many
OF them even to get a chair on night
train. Women and children were suffer-
Ing severely from hard experiences on
the continent.
All transatlantic rates have been ad-
vanced % per cent and in some cases
more. The officials OF the lines say the
steamers return empty from America
and that the high rates of war insur-
ance make the extra charges necessary.
The Holland lines have increased their
rates even higher than the English lines.

ATHLETIC MEET

Local spOrtsmen, and the woods
is full Of them, are looking forward
with interest to the Athletic Meet
on Saturday. 1t promises to be
the greatest event ever seen on the
College Campus. 1t will be an all
State meet with glory enough for
all. Coach McAvoy is deserving Of
praise for his efforts to attract the
High Schools of the State to our
Fairgrounds. This work, outside
of his regular line of duties, is
good, wholesome extension work
and will no doubt do much to in
crease the interest in Delaware Col
lege.
Coach, the Athletic Council and
other assistants are working hard
to have every thing in readiness.
With a clear day-Delaware will
expect the Red Letter day in her
history.

TOWN CLEANING DAY

Special attention IS called to the
news item in another column con-
cerning Town Cleaning Day on
Friday next. 1t is hoped that
everybody who can, will cooperate
with the town authorities. While
this day is comparatively new in
the Newark Calendar the idea has
met with favor, resulting in con-
siderable cleaning up.
The Post is proud Of Cleaning
Day and approves heartily Of the
work accomplished. We predict
this year will be even greater sue
cess.
What we want to do is to get the
spirit of this idea and when we get
our street fixed up to start Clean
Up Week,-it can't be done in a
day. But just now, get busy ready
for the teams on Friday. Ten
O'Clock is the hour.

OUR NEW DEPARTMENT

We wish to call attention to our
new feature,-Base Ball. No other
rural paper in the State is running
such Department. We are espec-
tally fortunate in securing the SER
vices Of William E. Hayes, local
newspaper correspondent for met
ropolitan dailies. Mr.. Hayes is a
crack writer Of sports, having
spent sevral years in this special
line Of work. He is thoroughly
familiar with every detail Of the
game, from dumb luck to science.
Mr.. Hayes will have charge Of
this Department. He will conduct
an Independent sporting page. No
favorites will be played and no
player will be thrown in the spot
light unless his work merits such
consideration.
We hope our sporting friends
will appreciate this service. An ex-
cellent way to do this is to put the
Fans wise to the page and thus in
crease our circulation.
Newark sports deserve this De-
partment and The Post will make
sincere effort to meet the demand.

smacks of good. The name Under
dog is catch phrase-all too sadly
true in this maddening age of com
merce.
To give our readers better
glimpse of the idea, we clip the
following:
Men and women do all manner Of
things, and do them with all their
might and main. But how few Of
them do any of these things to the
glory of God! This is the partic-
ular fault, the special sin and curse
of our day.
Religion does not mean now, as
once it did, the service of God, the
being like God, and the showing
forth of the Divine love and power.
No, religion means, nowadays, the
art Of getting to Heaven when we
die in respectable manner, and
without any troublesome or painful
sacrifices.
The theory seems to be that it is
possible to get on the blind side of
God and receive God s wages with
out doing God s work. This, mark
you, is counted as Godliness. Is it
anything but sinful, stupid selfish
ness.
Business bosses the world Yes,
but business is more than mere
money and private property, ex-
change and accumulation. 1t has
its ethical side which can be neith-
er ignored nor defied with impun-
ity. How many apparently intelli-
gent and otherwise upright men
become confused on the moral side
of commerce and money!
This moral alteration threatens
the Nation. Public integrity is
quickly corrupted by private inn
and the private conscience
500 ndemoralized by public irreg-
ularities. Business has no peculiar
ity properly exempting it from the
ethical rules applicable to domestic,
social and civil affairs. When bust
ness is business Only, it becomes
both base and brutal.
Success without self-respect is the
worst kind of failure. Finance be-
comes fraud when robbed Of good
faith. Trade devoid of truth, and
commerce divorced from conscience
are the precursors of individual
and social ruin.

The Best Citizens At Large

"The prosperity, well-being and

lage or Hamlet depend largely
upon the social and united spirit of
the people constituting such com
munities. A divided people is
sure, sooner or later, to bring social
or industrial stagnation, if not
chaos.
In every community there will be
found public spirited citizens will
ing to advocate reforms and press
public improvements but they
alone cannot bring about the de-
sired results. In fact, these public
spirited individuals, if not support
ed by at least a majority Of the
community, are more likely, than
not, to become branded as cranks,

VOLUNTARY REPEAL
OF FREE TOLLS
President Says exemption vIO-

Repeal Is Needed As Evidence OF
Good Faith-Nothino Critical
In Foreign Relations is
Pending.

Washington.-R Repeal of the "free
tolls" given American coastwise yes
sells in the Panama Canal Act was
earnestly urged by President Wilson
in brief address to joint session
of the Senate and House.
Gentlemen of the Congress:
l have come to you upon an errano
which can be very briefly performed.
but / beg that you will not measure
its Importance by the number of SEN
tences in which state it. No COM
munication / have addressed to the
Congress carried with it graver or
more far-reaching implications to the
interest of the country, and l come
now to speak upon matter with re-
gard to which am charged in pecu-
liar degree, by the Constitution. itself,
with personal responsibility.
have come to ask for the repeal of
that provision of the Panama Canal
Act of August "a, 1912, which exempts
vessels engaged in the coastwise trade
of the United States from payment of
tolls, and to urge upon you the justice,
the wisdom, and the large policy Of
such a repeal with the utmost earn
estness of which am capable.
In my own judgment, very fully con-
sidered and maturely formed, that ex-
emption constitutes mistaken
economic policy from every point OF
view, and is, moreover, in plain con-
travention of the treaty with Great
Britain concerning the canal con-
cluded on November 18, 1901. But l
have not come to you to urge my per-
sonal views. have come to state to
you fact and situation. Whatever
may be our own differences of opinion
concerning this much debated
measure, its meaning is not debated
outside the United States. Every
where else the language of the treaty
is given but one Interpretation, and
that Interpretation precIudes the ex-
emption / am asking you to repeal.
We consented to the treaty; its
language we accepted, if we did not
originate it; and we are too big, too
powerful, too self-respecting a nation
to interpret with too strained or re-
fined reading the words of our own
promises just because we have power
enough to give US leave to read them
as we please. The large thing to do
is the only thing we can afford to do,
a voluntary withdrawal from a posi-
tion everywhere questioned and mis-
understood. We ought to reverse our
action without raising the question
whether we were right or wrong, and
so once more deserve our reputation
for generosity and the redemption of
every obligation without quibble or
hesitation.
/ ask this of you in support of the
foreign policy of the administration.
i shall not know how to deal with
other matters of even greater delicacy
and nearer consequence if you do not
grant it to me in ungruding measure

A HOME RULE STATE
BasutoIand, South Africa, Has
No Debts; Lends Surplus.
Rapid Increase In country's Popula-
tion May Help Solve vexing Prob
lem Of Labor-ls Secure
From ExploIters.

London The rising among the
Basutos at Jagersfontein draws at
tention to one Of the most remarkable
of the native races in South Africa.
Basutoland is f-governing native
territory under the aegis of the Brit
ish crown. The spirit of British pol
icy toward it was strikingly revealed
recently by Lord Gladstone when be-
fore thousands of Basutos he first
proclaimed Grifiths the future king,
and then, as the servant OF King
George. saluted the new ruler Of the
Basutos.
Thirty years ago Great Britain
started upon the experiment of help
ing the Basuto nation to govern itself.
Today no matter what test of progress
is applied to that country, half as
large again as Wales, the response is
conclusive. There is loyalty to the
crown, racial peace, national vitality.
religious amity and economic sta
bility.
The critics of 80 years ago pre-
dicted disaster, and not without some
reason. The Beers had tried to con-
Quer the Basutos and failed, British
expeditions ended in disaster, British
sovereignty was proclaimed and aban-
doned. The Orange Free State de-
clared war against the Basutos and
received such a hot reception that
they had to give up. The Cape parlia-
ment too tried to govern this distant
territory. but failed and abandoned
it. Then a new era dawned, the ad-
ministration of Basutoland by the
Basutos and for the Basutos alone,
under the guidance Of British adj
wiser
The chancellor of the exchequer OF
Basutoland must be happy man, for
he has never faced deficit. The
taxation in Basutoland is about four
shillings six pence per capita per an
mum upon population of 100000 and
every year the budget shows a sur
plus. The country has no debt, but
ends the realized surplus to other ma
tive territories or places large sums
on fixed deposits in the South Afri-
can bank. The accumulated surplus
standing to the credit of the Basuto
administration is more than $750,0OO.
Before the commencement of the
British experiment of home rule un-
der the Crown Basutoland was seldom
free from wars, rumors of wars and
tribal fights, which gravely prejudiced
the development of the country
