MANY WOMEN
WORK FOR CAUSE

With the arrival of cold weather
those working in the interests of the
Red Cross Society have redoubled
their efforts toward securing more
supplies and cash donations to furth-
er the work.
Recent activities along these lines
was the formation of the Woman's
Organization of the War Relief Com
mittee, which has since divided itself
into subcommittee. of which each
has individually pledged itself TO
work for the cause. A group of reg
istered nurses as well as a number
of other groups are meeting one day
each week to sew, knit and roll band
ages for the Red Cross Society. To-
morrow morning at the New Century
Club the current events class will be
marked by each ones sewing or
knitting during the hour and a half
of the meeting, and Mrs. John f..
Neary will give a card party in the
grill room of the Hotel Dupont on
Tuesday afternoon December 1, the
price of admission for which will be
a donation of clothing instead of the
usual money ticket.
However, despite the generous re-
sponse on the part of Delawareans gen
orally, in donating to this cause former
Judge David T. Marvel, chairman OF
the War Relief Committee, is earnestly
appealing for more contributions, as
considerable more money is needed by
the committee. Any one desiring to con-
tribute should send money to S. d.
/ Townsend. vice-president of the Will
mington Trust Company. The follow
ing cash donations to the Belgian relief
fund have been acknowledged;

SENATE MAY CHANGE
 WAR REVENUE BILL
Would Eliminate Proposed Tax on Bank
 Surplus

Washington, September Exchanges in the war revenue bill being consid
 cred by democrats of the Senate finance
 committee include one to eliminate en-
 tirely the proposed tax of $2 a thou sand on bank capital and surplus. Sen
 ator John Sharp Williams, a member
 of .he committee. today introduced an
 amendment in the Senate to strike out this tax.
 Other amendments to make up for the deficiency that would be caused by abandoning the bank tax and the elimination of the tax of cents a gallon on gasoline are as follows: A tax of cents on all bank checks, drafts, letters of credit. etc.: tax of . cents a gallon on rectified whiskies, which, it is estimated. would yield about S5,000,000 revenue: an increase of 25 cents a barrel in the proposed s1.50 tax on beer, making the total levy $1.75 a barrel to yield a total estimated rev
 enue of s52,000,000 and a tax of 25 cents per horse power on all passenger l automobiles.
 Chairman Simmons said tonight there undoubtedly would be several changes | in the House bill, but that. no conclu- sion had been reached by the commit tee.

 The Hoarding of Gold
 While there is no doubt that individuals in some parts of the country. and per- haps in all, have been disposed to hoard gold in the form of gold certificates. yet there is no disposition to criticize these timid persons. Some of the ablest men of finance in the past hoarded gold. The late Wilson G. Hunt, who stood in rank with the leading men of finance of his day, segregated $l,000.000 in gold and stored it in bank vaults. He did this be- cause he was apprehensive that the coun- try would go upon the silver basis. brewer who had gained large fortune in his business was discovered by the ex- ecutors of his estate to have segregated large amount of gold, although it cost him each year a handsome sum in the form of lost interest. There was some disposition, not very strongly manifested, to criticize Secretary McAdoo for calling to account certain banks in the United States which. he asserted were hoarding gold and unnecessarily building up their reserve. The form which this criticism generally took was that 1t was impossible to judge from the reports made to the comptroller of the currency whether a bank was hoarding gold or not, for the reports may have been made on day when by reason of clearing house trans- actions banks were found to be consid- erably in excess of their statutory re- serve requirements, whereas a day or two later these banks might by reason of clearing house requirements have fallen below their lawful reserve.
 This criticism, however was based on misunderstanding of what the Secretary of the Treasury had in mind. He was car eful to say that the banks of the large financial districts were not practicing hoarding. He did not base his opinion upon the reports made by banks which had large dealings with the clearing houses every day. He did have means of learning that in some parts of the coun- try. and especially in those sections where the true function of banking is not well understood and where the bank CTS have little or no dealings with clear ing houses some banks were hoard ing gold The more the secretarys com munication was considered the mort gen. eral was the approval of the purpose which he had in mind when making it. And none in the financial center believed for an instant that Secretary McAdoo contemplated the blacklisting at hazard of banks whose reserves on any partic- rlar day were above the legal limit The banks he aimed his shafts at were those not many-which, according to reliable evidence and testimony furnished to him. were hoarding gold refusing credit as far as possible and therefore to some ex- tent impairing business activity.

Tariff Revision ty War

There can be hope of tariff revision before 1916" says exchange, for until that time the democrats will be in control of congress" If that is all, the country need not worry. As things have turned out, there is need of tariff revision, and there will probably be need before 1916, of any. The European has taken the place of the protection which the democratic tariff legislation removed.
 It operates as a check on foreign mportations and prevents articles of foreign manufacture from flooding our markets The effect of the for eign trade is shown very clearly in the of tria Statistics lately published place the exports that country for September at s12,2OO0O0 hardly one-fourth of the total for September of last year. Exports from Germany have decreased at a still startling rate
 Though the might terminate in year or in six months, it would take the countries engaged in it a year stage of produc- tion which would be a menacing competition to the producers this country.
 If the war could have been foreseen there would have been urgent need of replacing the Payne Aldrich law bad it was. for the war is doing for the of this country what that old law doing. There would have been need of spending months framing the Underwood law which the practically renders imperative
 The democratic party has been the chief sufferer from that law. It left in operation just long enough prove that it would not accomplish the chief thing that the democratic party claimed it would accompish-that it would reduce the cost of living; remained in operation just long enough to prove that it could accomplish those things which it's opponents claimed it would accomplish-the ruin of certain local industries. The then intervened to prevent delay the actual ruin of those indus tries by the suspension of the laws operation. This suspension may continue until opportunity comes to repeal the law.
 The only damage done by the Underwood law was psychological It halted the business of the country long enough to a stagnation, ard stagnation is the frequent of depression. The war came while the country thus suffering from an improper circulation and we were not in condition at once to throw off the effect of it.
 For the moment, for year two, 1t is ;mmateria whether the tariff is revised not We arc freed from the effect of the present tariff and we are recovering the effect of the

The Parcels Post Exhibit

One of the many interesting exhibits at the state fair the parcels post display, showing how art cles for shipment by post should be packed, and what kind of articles, of what bulk, weight and character may be shipped. The exhibit will result in the increased of the parcels in this state. But the mere of it. the mere in of the volume of it's business at the loss of other carrying concerns, will do nobody any good. The governments profits would be increased, but many they would be diminished.
 If however, as a result of the exhibit, mess is developed, new markets opened and producers and brought together. good service will have been rendered by the exhibit
 We bear in mind though, that the parcels post system is very far from being complete, and that however democratic orators and newspapers may refer to it party achievement, there is much to be done before there is equal distribu ton of its benefits. It's operation is yet rather crude.
 It reported the other day that rural rier in Southern California. presumably with the couson of postmaster, had been engaged, without @ Violation of the law the regulations, in carry ing packages of bricks back and forth, making money at it.

It was brought from Germany to the Pacific coast, where it was sold out right to a motion picture magnate. It was on the water between hero and Europe when the conflict with
 which it deals was commenced. The film is new and original. Ev- | cry latest invention known to war fare is shown. All natonalities or ! prejudice in the film are carefully hidden. The press information and I photographs of the characters have been lost on the high seas, having
 been shipped since hostilities were opened.
 The story deals with the stirring
 events of a very few days in land
