MarshaIs of France
CFrom the Boston Transcript

The general understanding has
been that the old rank, style and title
of marshal Of France expired with
those who held it from NAPOLEON III.
II is many years since there was a
marshal Of France, aud he was on
the retired list. French republicans
have never taken kindly TO marshals.
regarding the rank as smacking of
monarchy. Since the death of the
last of Napoleon's IFS appointees
general has been the highest grade
in the French army. Now we are
told that France is to revive the rank
Of marshal, and it is fair presump-
tion that the honor will be first con
ferred on General Joffre should his
strategy continue successful TO the
end Of the war A marshal outranks
all generals. The marahal5 form the
senior class apart, and they COM
mand according to the date OF their
commissions. In France, though
kings appointed marshals, the title
is associated by the force of genius
of those who held It with the Napo-
leonic regime. The tradition grew
up under Napoleon and was encour-
aged that every French soldier car
ried the baton Of a marshal in his
knapsack. That saying was simply
a variation of the Napoleonic plat
form that the empire opened the ca
reer to talent, The homelier phrase
was: THE tools to him who can use
them"

men we're ever brought together thar

kinds are consumed IN q twinkling,
to be replaced with still bigger con-
signments.
The United States Il the largest
reservoir in the world upon which
to draw. It produces everything
consumed on the European fields of
war, except the soldiers themselves.
Its men arc producers. They are
the mighty army of peace, behind the
scenes, working up the materials de-
manded by the fighters along the
battle line. The war cannot go on
without supplies. The men at war
are dependent upon the American
army of peace. Without American
horses, American automobiles, Amer
lean ammunition, American food, and
American clothing, the war eventually
would have to stop.
Every day of combustion IN Europe
increases the demands upon the Uni
ted States. Thus the work of ruin
and repair goes on among mankind,
as in nature. While Europe loses,
the United States gains. No Ameri-
can would have had il so, and no
American would continue the war for
the sake of selling war supplies. In
deed, the end of the war will bring
greater business than viii be made
by the war. But it is we'll that the
facts should be understood. in order
that Americans may be prepared for
the business that is coming, both
during and after the war.

II is encouraging in the highest
degree to find that educated thought
in the United States Is steadily. if

self-critical analysis of the extent to
which the land and the opportunities

oped I'm the interest of all mankind
One of the immediate aud most inn
portant manifestations of the change
of mental attitude Is 20 be found in
a growing tendency among its think
ers TO regard the resources of the
nation less In the light of a special
gift to its people than as a sacred
trust. In this broader and more ra-
tional view the subject OF soil, forest.
mine and industrial development in
the country Is Invested of a merely
national and takes on a universal hui
man interest.
It must be palpable 70 the studious
that the natural wealth Of the United
States does not exist With special
reference to any population that
might at any time be gathered within
It's political boundaries, but that il is
rather the rightful inheritance OF all
the inhabitants of the globe. In this
light that wealth, whatever form II
may take, should be distributed fol

is applying business methods to Gov

Almost all NapoleOn's marshals had

Prince of Moskowa. Lannes and Ney
we're greater than their titles. Napo-
leon III, who initiated his uncle in

Mahon the title of Duke of Magenta,
but save on entirely ceremonial occa-

an appropriation made by Congress
for the purchase of a post-office site
in his own Congress district in Chi

sentative James r. Mann has done
a courageous thing. AS he was res

DELAWARE BAY.
From the Newark Post.
October 10, 1914, marks a new era
in Delaware. While it may be difficult
to check the actual results, we recog-
nize any advance in education marks
a development in the citizenship and
welfare of the State. Delaware Col
lege is a force for good today but
speaking comparatively, it is just
realizing its opportunity. It's future
usefulness looms large.
In the exercises here on Saturday,
every citizen Of whatever station
should be vitality interested. No tax
payer, however humble, is free from a
certain responsibility in this State
wide movement for better educational
advantages.
The installation of the new presi-
dent, the formal dedication of the
women's College, promise great
things and it is our duty to render, as
sistance in every way.
We of Newark have a peculiar re-
sponsibility in our relations to the
/ College. The State has. we think
wisely, designated Newark as the
home for these institutions. They
are not ours in any local sense yet
they are in our keeping. Let us see
! to it that there be no sense of regret
] on the part of the State that our com
munity has been chosen.
On Saturday, invited guests from
all parts of the State will be present.
II promises in every sense TO be a
! Delaware Day, truly representative
Of all phases of our life. It will be
a day marking a striking change. Let
us see that our guests are given
every attention, thus expressing our
| appreciation of making Newark the
